PAGE 24 THE SEATTLE STAR FRIDAY MARCH 27 1 Indian Catching Statt Best Seattle Club Has Ever Hof! SEATTLE MAY LOSE ENTRY IN INTERNATIONAL BOAT RAQ (Behind the Home Plate Trim Sessile Built Craft, Cesta for Tahiti Race, May Net aI BY LEO © LASS ANTA MARIA, Cal., March 27.—There is an odd specie of ball players tapable of filling in at nearly any position on the diamond, but if played at any one spot for a long time there is some weakness in their playing and they can’t make the grade as regulars. Three of the most unusual utility men that the Coast eague has ever had are in this company now. , Ed Hemmingway ts in himself when it comes to filling in for any of the Infielders, The Ver veteran is best at third base, but care of shortstop, a class by r } b V can run the sacks rated a of the best ue Salt Lake slugger, is an dy man, Sheehan can play any infield or outfield position, altho chances are that he will play regularly this year in the outfield because the Bees need his hitting. | Another remark man for all-| around ability is Bob Schang of Sac: | ramento. Schang is a good catcher | and can play third base r in the out field. The Solons are using him regu larly at third base, He can play that bag, but is hardly good enough for regular duty there. Schang can get away with it in a pinch Schang, like Hemmingway, is a good baserunner and Is one of the few men who have done a lot of catching that can steal bases. Dee Walsh, who served man sea- sons with San Francisco, but who was released last winter, was another demon utility man. He did a little bit of everything while with the Seals Dix Cox’s Feat E of the most remarkable base ball feats Seattle fans have wit- nessed in the way of all-around play- ing ability was put on in an exhibl- tion by Dick Cox, of Portland, tast summer, Cox played a different position on the nine in every inning and | he didn't make a boot, His work | behind the log was particularly | good. It wasn't generally known | that Cox started out In baseball | as a catcher, shifted to third base and finally took up outfielding. | Most ball players become special ists at one position and because the | defensive angles of the various posts | on the team differ widely in playing | detail they become so accustomer to | one spot that they are helpless if moved. Take Sammy Bohne, for example. At third base he was one of the finest | inflelders Seattle ever had. When used at shortstop he was one of the worst. That's the way it goes. Some Famed Utility Stars HERE have been some famous utility stars in the majors, They | #ree? have stayed a long time in the big | *bout show because of this ability to step in and plug up a weakness or a va-/| cancy on their clubs, Remember Hal Janyrin, who was with Seattle a short time in 1923?

Krache was a pleasing fighter, and the fans in the Grays Harbor country think that there 1s no one better than the popular boom-man. The Krache-Bercot fights here, a year or s0 ago, will long be re. membered, They attracted great crowds, as well as being bouts of merit.
