better, have blasted one baseball
superstition = that the rich become
richer and the poor get poorer. The
Red Sox have more players in camp
than any club in Florida.
What the new addition of the Red
Sox will be able to achieve in q base
ball way, remains to be seen.
Set Trading Records
President Bob Quinn or Manager
Carrigan or both must have aroused
a touch Of jealousy in the ranks Of
the horse trading fraternity when
they sent Buddy Myer to play third
base for Washington and took five
players in exchange.
Bob Reeves, one of the quintet,
seems certain to become regular third
baseman for the Sox. Grant Gillis,
q shortstop, while he may not be able
to displace the veteran Wally Gerber
altogether, probably will share the
assignment with the former Brown
and Elliott Bigelow, who can hit, has
only to demonstrate an ability to
throw to get an outfield assignment.
The two pitchers in the transaction,
Milton CASTOR and Horace Lisenbee,
have shown indications Of returning
to form, which was lost last season.
All Are Working
Bill Carrigan is giving every caudi.
date plenty Of chances to work. He
brings half the squad out In the
morning and the other half in the
afternoon and sends them through
extended fielding and hitting prac-
tice. There is fight for every posi-
ton with no election indicated until
all the returns are in.
At first base Phil Todt, an able
performer, will again serve but Jerry
Standaert, from Memphis, has shown
something. Bill Regan should have
an advantage at second but another
Bill, Narlasly from Mobile, has done
well. A pair Of Bobs, Reeves and Bar
nett, another former major Lacquer,
are battling and in addition to Ger
Der and Gillis at short, Hal Rhyme,
who seems much better player than
when he was with Pittsburgh. is
showing Is much ambition as any
man In camp.
Have Eleven Outfielders
with eleven outfielders roaming all
over the place for fly balls and grab
bing . bat as soon as one is dropped
by q hitter, the problem Of getting
five or six permanent fixtures prom
ises to be vexing. Ira Flagstead, safe
from attack. Jack Rothrock, former
tnfielder and one Of the fastest men
In the league. Ken williams, 800
hitter In any company, and Douglas
Taitt, who missed the select 800 class
by q hair. are back from the 1928
team. Bigelow. who hit nearly 100 in
the Southern Association, Russell
Scarritt, st. Paul graduate, Otto Du-
mas and George Lopez. tried last
spring and farmeQ to pittsfield, have
been impressive at times.
Charlie Berry, who did well In 1925
leads the race for the first striue
catching assignment but Alex CASTOR
former Giant and once with these
same 6ox, has shown great spirit ii
the training period and may remain
to make up q brother battery with
Milton doing the pitching. A sensa-
ttonal prospect Is Robert Asbjornson
not yet 20 years Of age, but display
Ing convincing ability to hit.
