PAGE 12 MANUEL CUETO Cuban Star Can Play | Eight Places on Club Cueto Has Tried Every Position, Except Pitcher; He Is! Expected to Fit in at Either Short, Third or Outfield for Tribe; Seals Have Versatile Pair BY LEO H. LASSEN HE Seattle Indians have a real ace in Manuel Cueto, the Cuban tosser, who should prove to be one of the most versatile and most to his reputation, Walter McCredie is figuring upon Cueto as his regular third sacker, but the way the | club is shaping up now he may be shifted to the outfield. The Cuban has been out of organized baseball since 1919, but he has played con- siderably in Cuba and should be a star in the Coast loop. - Cueto can play any position on a ball club except pitcher. And he may be able to hurl some, too, altho he never has been rated as a heaver. ‘The Havana tosser has played in the outfield a great deal | and has also played all of the infield berths, pastiming at shortstop and second base the most. He has also caught several big league games. HE MAY PLAY SHORTSTOP Cueto may be shifted to shortstop if McCredie’s other candidates flivver, and Tex Wisterzil may take care of| third. Wisterzil is a steady man, but doesn't cover enough ground. Paired with a slow man like Phil Stumpf too many hits leak thru that side of the infield. Cueto is said to be very fast and he should “make” either Wisterzil or Stumpf, whichever McCredie decides he will work best with, * If Brick Eldred is traded to Sacramento for either Billy Orr or Harry Lunte, one of this pair would play shortstop and Cueto could be shifted to the outfield to plug up the hole left by Eldred’s departure. An all-around player like Cueto is a mighty valuable ormer to have on a ball club. ALS HAVE GREAT PAIR The San Francisco Seals have two players of the same caliber in Dee Walsh and Bert Ellison. Both men can play most any infield or outfield position. Walsh will most likely be retained just for utility roles, while Ellison is ex- pected to play regularly, perhaps in left field, according to present indications. No club is stronger than its substitutes, and having high | class men to plug up weaknesses in the lineup is a power- valuable players in the league if he lives up| ful asset.
