ATHLETICS POSSESS
PLENTY OF BATTING

By the Associated Press.
Pitchers who can hit are usually 20
scarce that they promptly are con-
verted to other tasks. Babe Ruth, Paul
Waner. George Sisler, Lefty O'Doul and
Jack Bentley are a few Of the stars
who were lifted from pitching to inield
or outfleld Jobs.
Consequently 1t may be guessed how
comfortably Connie Mack Is fixed for
outfielders when he takes a player Ike
Ossie Orwoll. who batted .37o in the
American Association last year, and
builds him up as pitching prospect.
All Orwoll would need to do to break
into the outfield is outplay group that
includes Cobb. Speaker. Simmons. Nil
Ter and French.
Ossie, however, has pitching ability
readymade. He led the American As
sociation's moundsmen in 1927 in per-
centage Of games won, beside being
runner-up In the batting race. He
played 20 games in the outfieid and
pitched in 80. showing a record Of II
victories and only 6 defeats.
