Adams Is Proving Worth.

The Cubs did little In their first two

were tied In the opening games, even If
FTisch was on the Job for st. Louis.
Pittsburgh and Cincinnati were tied in
the opening games, but the Cincinnati
keystone pair outshone the Pirate COM
bination in Thursdays game. For Pitts
burgh II may be said that the record
was somewhat better than 1t was last
season. That augurs well for Sparky
Adams. He has walked up the infield to
that extent
That this infeld argument has its

n YEw YORK, April is.--1n the
opening series OF big league
vi games as played to date-that
4 is. in cities where Springs
smile has not turned into
frovn--the award for effectiveness on
defense must be handed to the KEY
stone pairs doing business for the
Cleveland Indians in the American
League and the PhillieS in the National
League.
The best shortstop and second base
man in the opening games of the sea-
son on wednesday were Sand ana
Thomson of the PhillieS In Thurs
DAYS games Joe Sewell and LIND OF
Cleveland took the honorS.
Thomson probably is started for a
better season than he had in 1927, and
that was the best he had had to that
time. He is q player always improving.
Thompson and Sand took care of Is
chances against Brooklyn. No second
baSeman or ShortStop OF either league
did as we'll in the first games, but on
Thursday Sewell and Lind eouaied this
mark in the Cleveland Chicago game.
Thompson Rivals CritI.
The defensive power of young Thomp-
son is not excelled by any second base
man. except Critz of Cincinnati-and
Incidentally Critz accepted eight chances
on Thursday without an error. Pitts
burgh let Thompson so and the New
York Giants let him so, and both of
them made a blunder. Both teams
could have used Thompson to great
advantage The Pirates thought not.
because Barney DreyfuSS found some
thing in the dope" that he didn't ike,
but the dope" more than once has
PLAYED the Pirates false.
The Giants took Hornsby only TO ship
him to 3oSton. and when they had
Hornsby they thought they did not need
Thompson. II is odd that both Thomp-
son and Andy Cohen have been pro-
NOTED from Buffalo to New York to be
second basemen. Cohen may remain
longer In New York than did Thomp-
son unless the Giants get hungry and
10 out after another Hornsby.
Both Boston and Brooklyn played
smarter base ball in the number of
chances accepted than any other club
IN the National League in the first
games. except Philadelphia There, on
the first day of the season. the infields
OF the second division Of 1927 were
working with more harmony and COW
ering more ground than the infieldS of
the frst division clubs. II this were to
continue all of the season the race
would be that much closer.
