At hoth third and short, Bluege demon- strated he could get the ball away from any positicn. And Bluege is assuming his new job with great pleasure. For some time he has wanted a chance to cross to the other side of the middle sack. where he might have more leeway in making plays to his left; plays at which he is particularly adept. Cronin May Help Attack. Cronin, used in the shortfield nearly two weeks now, has displayed consider- gble ability as a fielder and revealed much pramise as a hitter. It is Cronin’s strength at bat more than anything eise, in fact, that prompted the revision of the infield. ‘With Bluege relieved of the knee hurt that had him out of action for some time, there was no keeping him on the bench. But Cronin, given the chance, had proved a sturdier clouter than Jack ‘Heyes, erstwhile regular second base- man. It is not that Cronin may hit oftener than Hayes, but that he is more likely to drive a longer ball that gives him the call over the 'Bama boy. Then, too, Hayes is not especially strong, and it has been feared he would not withstand the strzin of continuous Jack is a very capable fielder in' good physical trim, but this early in the season he has drooped at times under strain. On the other hand, Cronin i§ a powerfully built youngster ‘who never seems to tire, no matter how | great the burden may be. This shifting of Bluege to second base and the employment of Cronin as regular shortstop is not the result of because he wanted to test Hayes thor- oughly. At that time Cronin was play- ing such fine base ball that it seemed Sut et the. repuiar ln-up, ‘And Joo out -Up. oe il 55 pisying fine bail, too.

Ever since Routis took the feather- weight crown from him by the decision route, Canzoneri has been seeking a return engagement. While the title will not be at stake tonight, Canzoneri hopes to prove his contention that he was (g weakened by weight-making on the night of their championship affair and was not up to his usual standard.
