Shires Back On Base as Plummer Shifts Outfield
Art Shires returns to first base for the Harrisburg Senators after beaning and a spike left him with limited action this spring. Jake Plummer, moved up from Albany to fill in, proves solid at bat and stays in the outfield, replacing Sparra as he excels. Bill McKechnie predicts the Pirates may surprise by rising from fourth to second, while the Cardinals’ internal fighting could ruin their season. Belmont Stakes winner Omaha awaits next move after a historic triple crown, with Pimlico Derby eligible for Detroit Derby.
