THE EVENING WORLD, MONDAY, MARCH 27, 1923, Ruth’ s Desire to Play First Base Only Adds to Yanks’ Infield Problem Manager Huggins, However, . Is Convinced Pipp Is the 2 Player for the Job. blow received during the last World's Series, McNally, you know, is a marvellous fielder. In a pinch he has proved' himself a reliable hitter. More than that, his aggressive temperament is a needed tonic to the whole infield. Tho situation will work out all right as long as McNally is nursing his arm. When he returns, though, Hug- gins will have to take another look at his watch works. He can't ht hea place either Baker or Ward. Neither can he afford to do without McNally. To add to his confusion the manager suddenly has discovered two more bright, shining parts. If there is a place to put them he cannot find it. ‘These gentlemen are Johnny Mitchell, an Inflelder coveted by Detroit, Cleve- land and other teams; and McMillan, the spectacular young man at present subbing for Ruth in the outfield. Me- Millan is both an infielder and out- flelder—can clean up at either job. If Ruth should insist on, further development of his first base artistry, Pipp would have to sit on the bench. He cannot play the outfield, nor van he pitch, catch or carry water. ‘There is one part, though—Hug- gins knows exactly where it fits. The groove is right there staring at him and Everett Scott fits it like the paper on the wall. Scott stepped into the shoes of Roger Peckinpaugh with such ease that he seems to have been playing there all his life, At no time have the players ‘even thought of him as a newcomer to the club. He just naturally belongs there. Huggins has almost completely shifted his infield without weakening it in the least. The trouble is he has acquired too many bright, shiny parts, Late} at night he works over this jig-saw puzzle. “[ quit worrying over my pitchers a week ago,” he said. “There was never any occasion to worry about By Bozeman Bulger. EW ORLEANS, March 27,—The WN Yankee infleld right now is like the works of an old fashioned ‘Waterbury watch. Having taken it out of the case, trying out a new ‘wheel here and there, Miller Huggins hhas got so many parts that he can't put it together again. Anyway he figures it there are enough insides to fill two watches. An added complication ts the desire Capt. George Herman Ruth to play = base. He bought a new glove to Prove that he's a first baseman and now he wanis to use it. So far the Yank manager has of- fered no objection to the Babe play- ing the sack because it makes it pos- sible for him to exhibit his great orang-outang as advertised, and at the same try out his young outfield- ers. One or two of these young fel- lows must play out there while Ruth ‘and Meusel sit on the bench in @urance vile. Often, though, Huggins's face is Berewed up in pain as he sees light bounders go filtting through the Babe's legs. At other times the big fellow dashes madly to cover the Back justasthe ball goes through the spot where he formerly stood. Just the same Capt. Ruth insists that he is a first baseman and is determined to make a life work of it. With a Jong life and a ripe old age ahead of him he might master it. But some- seems to tell Huggins that Pipp ht to be back there this spring. On the other side of the diamond that busy corner at third—Miller is again jigsawed by a surplus of | the catchers.

The Sox hit Barnes when hits meant runs, McClellan slamming a two-bagger between Young and Cunningham in the ninth inning that gave the Chicago team another victory. The Giants have two more weeks of training in the South, and if bad weather ig encountered, McGraw will reach the Polo Grounds with nearly all of his pitchers not in condition. Fred Toney is slowly rounding into form and may start the seventh game against the White Sox this after- noon. Claude Jonnard, the youngster from Little Rock, will finish the game. American Leaguers showed that they have a punch concealed jn their bat- ‘ing order by trouncing the Giants at Dallas yesterday by a Garrison finish. HOPPE AND SCHAEFER CLASH TO-NIGHT.
