Roush, the batting champion a decade ag has no better prospect than being alternate in’ center field for the Giants this year, though he is still one of the highest paid of big leaguers. Collins, dean of the talent in point of consecutive playing service as he starts his twenty-second season, will see only utility duty. Tris Speaker is a minor league manager. Cobb has retired completely, leaving a 24-year record of accomplishments that. scintillate from cover to cover in baseball's “little red book.” Who will compose the “first five” of 1929? the leaders five years ago, are ready to resist the challenges of youth. Heilmann may find his odd-year luck good again and lead the pack as he did in 1921, 1923, 1925 and 1927. Sisler may make a come-back with the Braves. But these veterans now have to contend with a crop of youthful hit- ters, such as Paul Waner, Lou Gehrig, Goose Goslin, Freddy Lindstrom, Jimmy Foxx, Melvin Ott, Lloyd Waner, Frank Hogan, Heinie Manush and others. The big shift is under way and the new guard is ready to take the place of the old.
