Not only did he put up a wonderful fielding game, but he ed next to Ray Nohwer when it came to driving in runs. Bald- win Was a very effective hitter with |men on bases and he finished the | season r .300. But with Rohwer gone the big punch is missing from the bat- ting order. Rohwer was the only sticker on the club last year who could consistently step up to the plate and give the ball the long ride, Brazill has been counted upon to replace Rohwer in the batting punch. Brazill hasn't a chance of moving Cliff Brady off of second base, and Baldwin May Be Sold There has been some talk of Baldwin being sold to a big league club, but nothing has come of it yet, and chances are that both Baldwin and Brazill will report to training camp. Baldwin or Brazill? That's the big question on the Seattle club at the present time, and it's Killefer who must decide which will play third base.
