Baseball ix going to have a tough time struggling along in 1920, just like Rockefeller does when buying a new pair of shoes. Speaking of the Reds, there ivn't much chance of any changes be- Ing. made in the world’s champion squad, The same team will be on the field again. The only chance of » change at all is if Duncan, who finished the season in left field, should happen to fail down. The great Red hurting {f will be out in foree, At the present writing Slim Sallee, the portsider, has been troubled with a sore arm, and Hod Eller is just recovering from the flu, but the rest of the staff is O. K. The Reds may not repeat this year, but they should make the going mighty hard for any team in the senior major. There’s a husky representation of former Coasters on the Detroit Tigers’ roster this year. Paddy Sigtin, who played second for Portland last year, still has a chance of breaking in regularly; “Babe” Pinelll, Sacramento third sacker in 1919, is making a hot run for third base, Harry Heilmann, who started out bis baseball career with Portland in the old Northwestern league, will play first base and Ira Flagstead, former Olympia gnd Tacoma player, is slated for utility outfield duty And then there's “Red” Oldham, Portland pitching ace last year, who is almost a cinch to make good with the Tigers this year, Not so bad, at that. Young Chick Fewster, the New York Vankee infielder, who was slated to hold down the third base job for the Gotham club this season, was knocked for a home run the other day when Ed Pfeffer, Brooklyn Dodger hurf®r, bounced a fast ball off of dome, Fewster was knocked cold and is still out of the Yank lineup. He may be bat shy when he returns to the fold, and If he is it’s good night job. Few players recover from a wallop on the noodle like Fewster is said to have ta Brooklyn hurlers are going at a midseason clip now, Last week they held the New York Yanks to five hits per came in five games, which is some record, because the Yanks have a mean hitting club. Pfeffer, Cadore, Mammaux, Mitchell, Marquard and Smith will bear the brunt of the Dodger hurling. The Dodgers won the series with the Yanks five games to two, Roger Hornsby, St. Louis rdinal shortste ne of the best hit ters in the game, who is always a late starter, seers to have hit stride i the ball at a afe bingles in four r, first sacker with i the ball Cards should cartier than ever before this year. He has been pour terrific gait in recent training games, collecting 11 tilts against the Athletics last week. Jack Fourr the Angels in the Coast circuit last year, continues to hard for the Cards. With this hard hitting pair the count a lot of runs during the coming race, Jack Smith, former Seattle outfielder, who pastimed for the Cards during the last = years, has just about lost his job as a regular out- filder with the Louls nm. His hitting fell from .290 in 1918 to 225 last year. ng Heathcote, a youngster, has Jack's Job at the present writing. McHenry a Shotton are the other Card fly chasers. x Tony Borckell, who uged to pastime for Victoria in the old North western league, is the regular third sacker for the Boston Braves now Boeckel used to hit the ball pretty hard, but no one ever accused him of being « big league third baseman as a fielder or thinker while he was on the Coast. He played a couple of seasons with Pittsburg before he was ) traded to the Braves. ay.
