FILLING RANKS
(By United Press)
NEW YORK, May 4. — There are a
few clubs right now in the two major
leagues who are not flashing some
nungster. 11 is first year out, in some
position ns a regular. The oldtlmers,
seemingly, are taking the count col
lectively. There are no less than five
clubs who have brand new shortstops
performing regularly, and there is a
horde of new regulars in the other
positions.
The Reds have three new ones, all
regulars. Cueto, an outfielder, and
Mhenn and Kopf are debutantes in the
(harmed rircle of major leaguedom,
and they're getting away with it.
Shean is a veteran ball player, but
he has taken a veteran's place now in
the majors. Kopf has seen major
league duty, but never ns a regular
until he became shortsop for the Reds.
Cueto is a youthful Cuban, who knows
bow to hang the ball and play out
field.
HI berg is the new White Sox short
clop. Kabrikue has taken over the
ime burden for the Dodgers. Chuck
Ward is in the same fix with the
Pirates, and Wortman is a sensation
in the short field for the Cubs. The
Phillies and Braves have placed new
comers on the bench to wait develop
ments. Both are shortstops. McGaf
fi an is with the Pliilies and Rawlings
with the Braves.
There is an imposing array of new
pitchers. Nearly every club has its
new sensation. Joe Oeschger is try
ing his new sprus on for the first time
for the Phillies. Urban Shocker is
drawing all his pay from the Yankees
this year, ('adore is a Dodger regu
lar. Connie Mack is a whole fistful
of them. Howard Khmke is a Detroit
regular. Christy Mathewson is show
ing a bevy of them how he used to
fool the hoys.
Louis Guisto is hammering the ball
and fielding like a demon at first base
for the Indians. It's his first season
a: an honest to goodness big leaguer.
Vic Haler’s injury gave employment
to a young man named Ruether at Chi
cago and reports give him plenty of
praise.
And even with this array of minor
league talent making good, Jimmy Cal
lahan is using an outfielder at first
base and is combing the bushes for
a man to take his place.
