Frank "Buck" O'NeilThiS will re-
store him to the place he held
with the New York Yankees IN
1881 when he hit $50 and drove
in 107 runs, ranking third on the
team in run production. II he
can work any such miracle this
season, it will entitle him to more
honors than there are in the book.
Moving Larry into the second
hole will be just a little vote OF
confidence in him by Bucky Har.
ris. Lyn is one of the fastest men
on the club, and should be able
to 60 from first to third on the
hits of the men behind him. His
speed should aid Heinie Manush
in driving 100 runs over the plate
this year. Another thing, Larry
can hit to right field in fine
style. AS a matter of fact, he
hits to right field and right cen
ter field naturally. When his
wallops start shooting through
the alley out yonder, runs will
cross the plate.
A Real ShortstOp
Larry has lived up to the many
nice things said about his de-
fensive ability. He is missed
when he's out of the lineup, re-
gardless of who is assigned to
take his place. Larry charges the
ball to make the bad hops behave.
There is something feline in his
jump on ball hit into his sector.
"The more you see of Larry
out there the better you like
him." said an old ball player
to the writer this morning.
HE charges the ball when he
has to charge, and has the
ball players instinct in judg-
ing the hops a ball Is going
to take. Larry is reaching his
peak as shortstOp and has his
best years before him."
Bucky Harris said this morning
that within the next few days he
expected to obtain winning
pitcher from a big minor league.
That means, of course. the Pacific
Coast League, the American Asso;
citation or the international
League. They are the class
Double A loops of the country.
Won't Talk
Harris could not be coaXed nor
lured into naming the player nor
giving a hint as to his identity.
After q great deal of converse
ton it was learned that the deal
would be on a player for player
basis. And so by simple process
of deduction, we begin to gather
the import of the deal that
brought Belve Bean to the local
pasture. Bean has always been
a great minor league pitcher, and
on his last visit to Toledo, won
20 games. Bean with a little
cash would be used in getting a
good minor league youngster.
It was learned also that Monte
Weaver might be considered as
trading material. The math
teacher has pitched II innings for
the local team this year, but has
no complete games to his credit.
His outstanding performance was
against the New York Yankees,
whom he defeated on May l in
New York. Weaver twirled two
innings on that occasion but re-
ceived credit for the game. He
has been on the hill five times,
and his opponents have been Bos-
ton, Philadelphia, st. Louis and
Detroit, in that order.
It was learned this morning
that the Washington club tried to
rig a trade with the st. Louis
Browns, in which Weaver and
cash were offered for George Blae"
holder. After Hornsby recovered,
he made the deal that brought
Parke Coleman and Merit Cain
from the Athletics.
Full Game for Hadley
Bump Hadley pitched his second
consecutive nine-inning game
when he stopped the Browns yes
terday afternoon with five hits.
Incidentally it was his best per-
Torrance of the season, as only
one of the two st. Louis runs was
