but praise when the names of Big
Ed Morris Of the Sox and Lance
Richbourg Of the Braves are men
toned.
Here is a pair of ball players,
either one of which would have
brought pennants to several big
league clubs last year. This is es-
pecially true Of Morris, who, as a
rookie at Il, won 10 games for a
club that finished last. With either
the Giants, Athletics or Cubs, Nor
ris would have meant a pennant.
With a firSt-division club to help
him along, he easily would have won
% games and probably several more
than that.
Bill Carrigan sent Morris into A
ball games last year. Fred Mar
berry, Washington's relief ace, was
the only pitcher in this circuit to
appear in more games. Marberry
worked in 48 contests. Big Ed, who
is 6 feet 2 inches tall. finished the
season with an earned run average
Of 1852.

Morris was to the Red SoX. He
was one Of the fastest and surest
right fielders in the National league
last year. backing up the battered
Braves pitchers with almost a clas-
sic catch a game and banging the
ball for a seasons average Of .337.
The former Milwaukee star, play
ing his second year with the Braves,
was one of four National league
players to make more than 200 hits
in 1928. He cracked out 2C6 safe
ties and scored los runs, finishing
third in the league in the latter
department.
Both Norris and Richbourg are
flying high in the preseason games
and again are doing much Of the
halplesS Boston teams.

When Bucky Harric left Wash
ington, Clark Griffith found his
club without a second baseman.
His first move was to bring Stuffy
Stewart up from the Birmingham
club.
Griffith always thought well of
Stewart as a second baseman but
had little use for him during Har-
riS' regime. Stuffy was up with
the Senators in 1925 and 1927 but
each time he went back down for
lack of place to play.
Stewart is a fast little man and
stole 81 bases with Birmingham
last year. He hit .316.

inches tall and weighs 165 pounds
