He was pitching for the Untversity | of Michigan when he first began to attract attention, and it was only be cause hig stick was too valuable for occasional use that experiments were tried which brought out his versa-| tility. | Babe Ruth, you remember, also started as a pitcher, If Sisler does get into the game next season as a pitcher, he will not be the only star player who may be in 4 trick position in the lineup. Tris Speaker may play first base for the Cleveland Indlany, as it seems he will be unable to get another first- sacker, Also, New York ts speculating that if Rogers Hornsby comes to the Gi- ants from the Cards he will be used at first base by McGraw, Hornsby has a yearning for first base, and it ix understood that his differences with the St. Louis man- sement started when Branch Rickey wed to move him over to first THE SEAT LB For the first time in three months, Tod Mor- gan, Coast featherweight champion, will fight in Seattle when he tackles Danny Nunes, the classy Sacramento boy, in the six-round headliner at the Crystal Pool Tuesday.
