Wealth of Outfield Material Mitchell has a wealh of outfield ma- terial. Cy Williams, the elongated star, will be seen again in center field. Leslie Mann is the strongest candidate for left field.

Other outfield candidates are Jacobson, obtained in the Zim deal; Muesel, drafted from Birming- ham; Smith from Omaha and Schick, a Chicago semi-pro. e} Mitchell will have fifteen men from which to select a pitching staff. He has four left handers, including Jim Vaughn and Gene Packard, veterans of last year, Bill McTigue, purchased : from Toronto, and Reuther, drafted from Spokane. Among his right hand- ers are Claude Hendrix and Mike Prendergast, veterans; Aldridge, Dawson and Carton of the Indianapo- lis American club association; Phil will try to fill the hole at shortstop. j , The hand of time may drive from active baseball this year an- other of the greatest stars of the diamond.
