PHIL ToDT PLAYS FIRST

| Boston, Jan. 23.-(R)-Bill Carri-
(, gan is going to do q lot Of building
; with the Boston Red Sox.
He has been building for two years
and he believes 1t will take at least
two more before he can get COM
bination of young ball players, with
castoff here and there, that will
make any kind of an impression in
the American League.
He has 81 players and only Is were
with the club last season. He has
thirteen pitchers, six catchers. 10 In
fieldcrs and eight outfielders.
Todt At First
Phil Todt, the best fielding first
baseman in the league last season.
seems to be the only infielder sure Of
holding his Job. but Rothrock will be
on hand to succeed him II he fails to
hit better than he did last season.
Bill Regan. who has held down second
for the past two seasons. must out.
fight Jerry Standaert, late Of Brook
lyn. and Grant Gillis, who came from
Washington for the job.
There are three outstanding candi-
dates for the short stop berth, Harold
Rhyme. who came from Philadelphia
on waivers: Wally Gerber and Bobby
Reeves. who held down that position
for Washington for two seasons.
Carrigan's biggest problem seems to
be the finding of an adequate third
baseman. His best bet Is Bobby Bar
rett. who is coming up from the Buf-
falo 1nternationals and seems about
ripe to blossom into q major league
star.
OF the eight outfielders due to re-
port at Bradenton, Fla, for training,
four have seen service with the Red
Sox. These are Ira FlagStead, Ken
Williams, Doug TAFT and Jack Roth
rock. who would rather play first
base. The newcomers include Elliot
Bigelow, a demon minor league hit
ter and Loepp, Dumas and Scarritt,
three minor league purchases.
Catchers Are Strong
Carrigan seems to have q strong
catching staff with Alex, CASTOR,
Charlie Berry and John Heving, who
have been with the club, and Bob
Asbjornson, recalled from Akron: Ed
die Connolly, who played in the east
ern league last season. and a youth
from Waterville, Me-. Danny Shana-
han, who played for Colby college.
There will be five right handed
FOLLOWERS, Big Ed Morris. Charley
Ruffing, Danny MacTayden. Jack
Russell and Pat Simmons. Morris
was the most effective Of the quintet
last season, winning 10 and losing Is.
The other four functioned below the
major league standard.
Among the new box prospects are
Milton CASTOR, Alexis brother, and
Hod Lisenbee, Bill Bayne, with Cleve-
land last season, Frank Bushey, re-
called from the Pittsfield eastern
league club and four Rockies.
