While the present lineup Of

as it maintains its recent Of
fensive standard, another in
field shift probably will trans
spire in the near future.
A move whereby Jack Hayes re-
verts to shOrtstOp and Charley
Gooch to third base would occasion
no great surprise. With BUDDY

second base, Sonny Boy once more

ment, the shortfield. 1t was in
this capacity that he broke into the
American League two years ago ana
frankly It is the position he prefers
most.
Though jumping Joe Cronin has
flashed many potentialities at snort
stop he would encounter a formi-
dable rival In Alabama Jack, VINO
compares favorably with his league
best defensive infielders.
Neither Cronin nor Hayes have
shown consistency with the flall.
HAYES, however, has been meeting
the ball squarely of late and the
fact that he has been an untortu.
nate victim of line drives cannot
be held against him.
