Shift Of Elliott

BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press SPORTS Writer,

The prize experiment of the year
In the major leagues may turn out
to be the transfer of Robert Irving
Elliott friom the outfield TO third
base by the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Manager Frank Frisch snuffles his
lineup almost every day lust for
luck" and has not tthe least hesi-
fancy about switching player from
one position to another. But the
shift that brought the Frisco kid In
from the outfield was born of
necessity.
Last winter Lee (Jeep) Handley
was in an automobile accident and
apparently suffered nothing more
serious than scratches. But when
he reported at training camp In
California he suddenly discovered
his arm was dead"
There were the Pirates, thousands
of miles from clubs whom they
might have traded, but only a few
weeks away from the start of the
season. In desperation Onkel Franz
canvassed his squad and came upon
25-year-old Elliott. who six years
ago, when he was breaking into or
ganized baseball, played part-time
third base for Savannah In the
South Atlantic League.
Elliott Hits mt .342 Clip.
Here, Frisch decided, was the
answer. In two seasons with the
Pirates Elliott had indicated he never
was going to be any Terry Moore
as q ball hawk even though he
showed lots of promise at the plate
and was good enough last season
to make the National League all
star team.
Observers remained skeptical on
Elliott. however, until the season
actually was under way. Since
then he has made everybody sit
up and take notice. Ir, nine games
he has hit three home runs. to
lead the league. and two triples, TO
tie for the lead.
His batting average Is q gaudy
.342 and he has Knocked In eight
runs. Moreover his fielding and
throwing have bordered on the
sensational after q nervous debut.
Yesterday he contributed q two
run homer to Pittsburgh's s-f tri-
