Arky Develops Fast Under Old Honus
Vaughan Seen as New Shortstop Phenom

IIONUS WAGNER, the old-time big league star who was
in Indianapolis with the Pittsburgh Pirates Monday,
thinks his shortstop protege, Floyd Vaughan, is entitled to
a lot of votes for consideration as the best player at that po-
sition in the National League. Wagner, as coach of the
Pirates, took the Arkansas youth under his wing last year
and taught him the tricks of the short field business.
Vaughan proved an apt pupil, but committed too many
errors in1933 and Wagner started the schooling OF his pride
early this year. Hans gave the youngster personal instruc-
ton in training camp and Arky was the Pittsburgh hitting
and fielding star during the exhibition games.
When the regular season got under way Vaughan
showed the results of tutelage under Wagner and has be-
come one of the most improved players in the majors.

Gibson commented, "Traynor, Vaughan and one Of the Waner brothers"

i few years back. He has learned to handle himself without stumbling
and uses his poundage to push opponents against the ropes to permit the
use of a right uppercut. He hatened Jack Sharkey that way, but Baer
is no midget and is just as likely to deal out the rough stuff a the
champion. Dempsey took advantage of everything in his day and often
was on the borderlne of committing foul tactics, but he got away with
it and it's a good bet that he has taught Max Baer all of the same stuff.
Camera doubtless has it all over Max on endurance, but the coast heavy
weight possesses a wicked punch. I think Baer will score a knockout.
