Star Staff Correspondent.

BOSTON, June 28.-Jake Early,
entrusted with f1attering portion
of Washingtons catching assign
ments in recent weeks, hasn't
demonstrated he'll handle the re-
ceiving for the Mats in future sea-
sons.
This is the year I've gotta make
good" says Jake, because there's
gonna be a baby In the family
shortly. I'm gonna do my best"
Thus far, though, the indications
have been that Jake's best is none
too good.
Granted there was room for i'm
provement, Early is comparatively
polished performer in contrast with
his limited labor of last season. If
he continues to develop lie figures
to be installed as Washington's
regular receiver for many seasons
hence, but there's some doubt of
his ability to absorb any more of
the niceties of catching.
Jake Is hitting a gratifying 1927,
his throwing arm is strong and &C.
curate and he's a fighter. but to
date he has shown no Initiative in
straining his brain. With pitchers
whose chief excuse for being on the
mound is blistering fast ball, Jake
insists on requesting less effective
curves in enormous quantities.
On Washington's recent Western
trip, Early became so beWildered at
one point in st. Louis that Mana ger
Bucky Harris was forced to flash
signals from the bench for an en-
tire inning. Bucky signalled to
Jake and Early relayed the sign to
the pitcher. a slightly confused pro-
cedure and no recommendation for
a catcher.
Jake May Need Another Year.
Still, Early is worth nursing. His
improvement over his 1889 form has
been so amazing it would be leaping
to conclusions to assume the husky
country kid won't develop between
the ears, in a baseball sense, in
another season. He owns a generous
quantity of natural equipment and
If he learns to capitalize on 1t he
may be the fellow to succeed the
fading Rick Ferrell.
Early represents one of Harris pet
hopes. Bucky feels he has material
to work with in Jake, but less opti-
mistic is the outlook Of Outf1elder
