beaning he took last season. Tucker
plays only right field with any ease
and Is hard left-handed batsman
quite as dangerous as Cullop. His
misfortune is largely that he hits
from the wrong side Of the plate
when right.handed hitter is
needed,
McNeely has more speed than
either Cull0p or Tucker and
shades them possibly III the
field. but his arm Is weaker
and he has none of their power

1t Is believed that many tight
places will arise this season when,

necessary and it Is for Bucky
Harris to determine whether Nc.
Nicely or Cullop would fill the bill
to better advantage. Cullop's hard
