Baseball Pointers on Young Stars and Veteran Standouts
Bush, a nineteen year old shortstop, is praised as one of the greatest infielders. Becker remains solid for the slump plagued Nationals, excelling at first base and on the bases. Street of the Washingtons improves, becoming a top catcher. Hans Wagner supposedly promised to play until his successor is found, hinting he will play on. Dr White of the Chicago Americans hits well in the field but bats poorly as a pitcher. Comiskey weighs where White fits best, in the garden or on the mound.
