can now tend as many poles as he

In training, although we don't ex-

remarked that the east coast got
all the second division clubs. After
all, the Cincinnati Reds are in

The fellow was just kidding, Of

Dodgers and Athletics are having
more reconversion problems than
their rivals in other sectors. Prin-
cipally because they didn't have

He's as cool as an apple out there

doesn't seem to have much speed.
In fact, he isn't rated as a fast ball
pitcher, although he had 100 strike
outs last year.
He does have fair control, though,
and fairly curves the batters into
knots. The first dozen balls he

BR0DCEN SHUFFLES.
l% PLAYERS FOR.
COMING CAMPAIGN
Herman Wick Sparks Early.
Season Baseball
l. Workouts
BY GENE WARREN
Star Sports Writer

Going into its last two weeks of
drills, The New Hanover High
School baseball team is beginning
to shape up for the 1946 season.
Coach Leon Brogden has taken
throng of returning lettermen,
shifted most Of them to new posi-
tons, and hopes for the best.
Last season the lineup for the
Wildcats read like this: first base,
Harry Smith; second base, "Tink-
ey" Rogers; third base, Vic James;
shortstop, j. c. Price; left field,
Louis Collie; center field, Fitz-
hugh Fennell; right field, Dunk
Futrelle; catcher, "Hacksaw'' Tut
tie; pitchers, Kenneth Rogers and
Billy Hardison.
This product had one of the poor.
est diamond seasons in MINIS his
tory, but Brogden's method of re-
conversion is turning out a much
better club.
The infield now has tall Kenneth
Rogers on first, Harry Smith or
Louis Collie on second, Dunk
Futrelle at the hot corner, and j.
C. Price back at shortstop. Rogers
height and developing hitting made
him the main candidate for the
initial sack, while Futreue's left
handed smuggling and an-around
play at third put him in the driver S
seat for the third base job. Price
has improved marvelously from
last year, while both Collie and
Smith are battling on equal terms
for the keystone spot. There is
a possibility that Collie may be put
back into left field again, where he
won honors in 1915.
Turkey" Edwards, To-day Fen
nell, Hal Sharpe and "Bubba"
Sykes are the outstanding list Of
outfielders. Edwards and Sharpe
have been the best hitters from this
group, but Pencil and Sykes are
better fielders.
The outstanding player IN the
Wildcat camp is Herman Wick, who
has not only wiffed several Of the
best hitters with his speed, but
also flashes the best hitting streak
Of the spring campaign. Wick is
working around first base also
where he has nabbed every ground
er near him in the inter-squad
games.
With Wick on the starting pitch
er's list there is also Billy Hardi-
son, a sophomore star. This lad
does not have the best fast ball,
but no other pitcher can put more
"stuff'' on the bal than this up
coming youngster. He has curves,
knuckle balls, and every kind OF
drop that battles his fellow players.

We were interested in one of the
rookie pitchers. A 31.year-old
rookie, at that, although he was up
once before. 1t was with the Athle-
tics in 1889 when they finished
seventh, so maybe that doesn't
count, as it wasn't very far up at
best.
