The Pittsburg to use college The spectacle of a piteher pinch hitting m a ball game is rather an unusual one, Pitchers, as « general rule, are rather expected to be weak hitters, Their activities are general ly confined to keeping the other fel low from hitting and not to do any hitting themselves. But now and then a pitcher comes along who is not only at home on the slab, but who can do his duty at the plate Perhaps the greatest of these is Babe Ruth, the Boston southpaw, whose stickwork Inst year earned him @ batting average of .335. But when the New York Yankees were playing last season it was not| |am unusual occurrence for Ray Caid- | well, the tall right-hander, to be/ called from his place on the bench to bat for some other pitcher, or maybe an infielder and sometimes an outfielder. The Yankees were pain- fully weak with the willow last sa fon and Caldwell, altho only getting into action at intervals, was a safer risk than some of the regulars. There is a ponsibility that Ray |may be moulded into an outfielder | |this year by Manager Miller Hug | gina, and the possibility imn‘t so very Temote. Huggins needs some out |fleid material It i very Mkely he| | will be unable to buy what he wanta, | altho It is admitted that he will | have plenty of money to spend on the right man. Huggins would Jump At a chance to buy Ty Cobb, Bob! Veach, Tris Speaker, Clyde Milan or Happy Feisch, but there isn’t the re- motost possibility that any of these men will be placed on the market. And said market inn't glutted with outfield material this year. The elubs which have good outfielters are hanging on te them. Huggins Likely will start the season with about the same outfield he had last year, which was notoriously weak. Caldwell is a possibility, and it is fust | question of whether he will be worse needed in the field or in first class. He is = good hitter and undoubtedly would improve if sent to the plate day after day. If this should occur it would be in- teresting as the first time in many years when a regular pitcher has been made into a regular outfielder | on @ big league club. OREGON AGGIES WIN OVER U. W.
