When Earl Averill. former star out
fielder of the San Francisco Seals,
stepped up to the plate for the first
time in the opening days game be-
tween Cleveland and Detroit, on
April 16, the fans, players and re-
Spective managers were wondering
what this green rookie, with repu-
tation as slugger, was going to do.
Averill soon answered this ques-
ton with home run off of Earl
Whitehill, and if there. is any better
way of breaking into the majors
than that, why this cartooner hasn't
heard about 1t.
Averill's debut was no flash In the

They also have Kenneth Holloway a
finger of orthodox persuasion, who used
to perform for the Tigers. Holloway
has been used mainly in relief role.
Luke Sewell is catching most of the
time.
In the infield will be found Lew
Fonseca at first base, Carl Lind al
second, Jack Tavener at short and Joe
Sewell at third. All but Tavener were
in she inner defense last year, although
Sewell was employed most of the time
in the shortfleld. LinSs rated as most
valuable to the indians last season, has
been shining this year. Tavener, trans
ferred from the Tigers during the past
Winter, was forced to the bench by Roy
Gardner when the rookie played so
brilliantly in the early Spring. But
Gardner dropped and the veteran re-
gained the berth.
Well Rounded Outfield.
Charley Jameson, in left, is the only
