Infielders Are Recast.

The infield will be made up of the
same men who played in 1927, but they
will be recast. Johnny Neun will play
first base on whole-time instead of a
part-tine basis and Marty McManus
will be assigned to third base Charley
Gehringer will take care Of second and
Jackie Tavener, completely recovered
from his injuries, will play short and
show how hard little fellow can hit.
The infield reserve question presents
problem Manager Moriarty has not
yet solved. Detroit has grown accus-
toned to having two first baSemen with
Neun and Blue available, and now that
Blue has gone to ST. Louis. it is possible
that Bill Sweeney, purchased from Fort
Worth, will be kept as Nouns under
study.
Warner. last years third sacker, may
be traded for a pitcher. Chick Galloway,
formerly of the Athletics, who came to
the Tigers in a trade via the Browns. is
regarded as certain utility choice, as
he takes his infield positions as he
finds them and can play them all. one
at time. This lineup leaves Nolen
Richardson and Frank Emmer unplaced
but presenting impressive bids for con-
sideration. The club is bit over
stocked on infielders.

Browns. will play center field and show
a fast pair Of heels on the bases. He

Cys Strongest Linep to Face Giants Detroit Depend

@AN ANTONIO, Tex. March 22.---
Detroit will depend on the old
guard In the approaching pen-

places for some players whose
services were gained in trades during
the Winter, but none is young as base
ball players go, so the seniors VIII pe
called on to bear the brunt, while the
Younger generation stands and waits.
Hope of the club for better position at
the close than the fourth place occupied
last year lies in the same pitchers with
better arms. Earl Whitehill, a left

with world of stuff, were IN and out
