BILOXI, Miss, March 19.-Big
Dave Harris gets his first chance
to play third base in a regular
game tomorrow, but it's only the
encounter between the Yanigans
and the Biloxi, State champions,
at Biloxi.
However, it's Dawes golden op-
portunity to exhibit his qualifica-
tions as a third baseman. Harris
is being left behind as his team
mates journey to Mobile, Ala, to-
day and tomorrow to engage the
Louisville Colonies.
What the chubby outfielder will
do at the hot corner is a matter
of great interest to all in camp,
particularly johnson, who feels
that Harris might prove capable
enough to handle the position in
the future should an emergency
arise.
Watch Harris
All those left in camp are in
structed to tell johnson how
Harris performs when the man.
ager returns. Of course, Harris is
expected to let not only johnson
but the rest of the world know
how he played the position be-
cause of the enthusiastic attitude
he has taken toward essaying a
role entirely new to him.
The remainder of the "Yanni-
gan" lineup is to be stopped with
supposed regulars and "other
players" Moe Berg, signed as a
catcher. will be at second base
an old love for him. Johnnie Kerr
will hold down short. and Joe
Judge first. The outfield will COM
prise Ralph Boyle in center. Carl
Reynolds in left and probably
Mike Delaney in right.
Eddie Ainsmith and Roy
Spencer will be behind the bat
while Luther CBud) Thomas and
Bobby Burke will divide the hurl-
ing. AL Schacht, no doubt, will
take the mound before everything
is ended.
Third Straight
Joe Judge was on first base as
Manager Johnson's gang won
their third straight exhibition
game yesterday. The Louisville
Colonels were the opponents this
time with the Griffs finally tri-
umphing 8 to 7 in a see-saw
affair.
Filling the bases in the ninth
with none out, off Pitcher Archie
McKane. Reynolds beat Maguire'S
throw on Naples infield tap to
the Louisville teams second base
man for the winning margin.
Pitchers Bob Friedrich, Lynn
Griffith and Frank Ragland were
used by Manager Johnson. The
latter was credited with his sec
ond victory of the grapefruit
season. Ragland's work stood out
over his other two teammates.
Judge Fails to Hit
Judge, in his debut, failed to
get a hit in two official times at
bat, but the veteran first baseman
walked twice and was hit once.
He fielded his position flawlessly.
Carl Reynolds got his first hit
of the year after seven consecu-
tive trips to the plate without
safety. 1t came in the ninth
a sizzler through secondhand 1t
started his mates on their way to
victory. Judge walked, following
Reynolds at bat in this inning,
and Kerr singled to fill the bases.
Naples infield tap to Mcguire
came next, Reynolds beating the
second baseman'S throw to the
plate for the margin.
The Griffs coined their other
runs of the contest in two separate
flurries. In the third, four mark
ers were registered on singles by
Myer, ManuSh, West and Cronin
and Pinch-Hitter Berg's life on
Third Baseman F'unk's error. In
the seventh, three runs scored
when Boyle, Cronin and Kerr sin
gled, Judge walked and Reynolds
skied to left field. Louisville
counted one run in the first, two
in the second. three in the fifth
and one in the eighth for its total.
