4 very competent judge of ball players recently stated that Bobby Reeves Of the Boston Red SoN, late Of the Washington Senators, is th" most talented infcldcr in the Amer ican league. He furthermore said that should Reeves overcome one or two mechanical defects he would stand out as one Of the greatest stars of the game,
 Manager Bill Carrlgan. who also knows ball players, IS fully aware of the prospects Of the young man and has taken steps to put Reeves in the groove 10 stardom.
 So far in hi. maj jor league career, Bobby has been a shortstop. tarrl gan will try to make a third base man Of him. Reeves has one of the strongest arms in the game. In fact. it's speed has been more of g handi- cap than an asset. He throws what ball players call a heavy ball. IL comes al terrific speed and drops away, which makes it very difficult for first baseman to handle. May be the longer throw from third will somewhat lessen this tendency in Reeves throwing.
 Last year in the spring training camp of the Washington Senators. steps were taken to i'm prove Reeves batting. The Nat strategists figured the lanky kid took too much of a stride when flashing out for pitch. Reeves was drilled for hours but the season found him doing the same old long stride.
 The fact that he batted for mark of 1903. which, by the way, has us ually been considered pretty good for an lntielder, may make this logic look bad 10 some observers. In most cases 1t IS found mans natural form at bat is his best form and when changed it hurts his conf- Ience. Of course, there are the rudi- ments that most manager insist on
 Should CarrIgan find the solution 10 smoothing out Bobbys defects Boston fans will find that Bobb, alone is an equal exchange for Bud. 0y Myer. whom the Sox sent te Washington for Reeves. Castor, Gil. lis, LIsenbee and Bigelow.

 Phantoms Ma Repeat
 Much interest is being taken in the tournament, and speculation is rife as to the prooable winner. Many fans incline to the belief that the Phantoms stand an excellent chance of copping the senior title and thereby defending the cham pionship which they won last year. These fans base their predictions largely on the way in which chance arranged the schedule. The upper half of the draw includes four of the fiercest competitors-the teams that will play tomorrow night while the lower half is admittedly weaker. If the Phantoms can come through their opening game with the Blues. the "wise" ones say, they will be able to reach the finals without difficulty, while whoever comes out of the awful scramble In the first half of the draw is liable to have been exhausted and to be fairly easy prey.
 This is mere speculation. how. ever. and in tournaments such as this it is the unexpected which usually happens-in fact. it was most unanticipated that the Phan. toms would win the title year ago.
