In the catching department McGraw has four high-class performers in Lew McCar- ty, Mike Gonzales, Elmer Smith and Frank' Snyder.

As prospects for third base Huggins has both Chick Kews- ter, rated as one of the most prom- Bob Meusel, a Pacific coast star, of whom great 'things are predicted. As for Derrill Pratt at second base, opinion differs greatly. .Some of the critics appear to regard him as trad- ing material rather than a Yankee fixture, but there does mot seem to be any stronger candidate for the position unless Meusel makes good at third 'ind Fewster can be used at second. 4 It s worrying the outtleld, however, that is | Huggins more than any- thing else. In .the first place, Duffy Lewis, like Frank ‘Baker, has threat- ened to retire, and whether he makes good his threat or not an understudy | must be found for him at once. Then ! there is the question of center fleld, where Ping Bodie played erratic ball last season, many of his errors proving costly. | Bodies will rotain his value as a bitter or pinch hitter as long as he remains in baseball, but the idea pre- valls t the outfield needs a stead- ier player than “Ping” has shown himself to be.

In short, the use two ! strong playe: i the outfleld, and us trading material have chiefly pitehers (o offer.

Giants Fine Outlield, With Kauff, Burns and Young in | the outfield McGraw has little rea son to desire a change among the fly chagers, yet rumor has connected Kauf’s name with a trade whereby McGraw would obtain a desivable in fielder. At first base it is merely a question at present whether the veter- an Hal Ghase or the newcomer, George pets the assignment.

While McGraw has denied any offer this winter for Roger Hornsby, the Cardinal infielder, the rumor persists | that negotiations for his services be- | gun last summer will be renewed by | the Glants before long. As for tho | Yankees, there have been rumors of | Derrill Pratt for Sam Rice of the Senators: Duffy Lewis for Rice if tho former returns to baseball; one or two pitchers for one of the .300 hit- | ters on the Detroit team, most like- | that rewarded one flrst baseman. Other baseball rumors in the air are “Pep” Young, the Detrolt second baseman, for Joe Judge, the Senators’ first baseman; HKverett Scott of the Red Sox for Donie Bush of the Tigers and Bobble Roth of the Red Sox for a Yankee pitcher.
