HUGGINS PLANS GRAND SHAKE UP By DAVIS J. WALSH International News Service Sports Editor New York, Aug. 8. —In spite of the fact that the finale of the western invasion saw the Athletics Blow one while the Yanks were winning, thus widening the gap between this pair to IM., games, word comes east today that Professor Miller Huggins will give his ball club a violent shakeing up. The ball club,” they called it when it was 13 1-2 games in front early last month and seemed ' concerned only with the hardship of 4 finishing out an ordained but snper- , fluoits schedule. Today, having won exactly two series in the last ten con- : tested, they are just so doggoned perfect tat the professor means to fire | 1 half of the infield. He probably would lie quite content I ; tn fire all of his catchers, too, but I ho can't do that because the rules are most finical alsmt having nine men on the field at all times. The professor has tried to oblige in this respect but eight men and a catcher has been h's limit the last five weeks. Anyhow, he feels he has plenty of able infield reserves and so they say the left side of the present quartet is to be removed to a spot where the sun no longer will affect it. Those to be demoted are Mark Koenig, shortstop, and Gene Robertson and Joe Dugan, companionate third baseman. Those to be elevated are Leo Burocher and Mike Gazella at short stop and third base respectively. Part of the proposed alteration went ' into effect yesterday with Gazella at third base. The full remodelling will be completed as soon as Lazzeri is able to return to second base. Duri ocher being occupied at that posi-1' Ition in the meantime. On paper, the

new Infield lacks the punch of its predecessor—but only on [taper. Koenig isn’t hitting the size of his wedding 'finger; Robertson Ist doing sightly better, if at till. There Is nothing the matter with Dugan's hitting but. plenty the matter with Dugan’s legs. He probably Is putting in ills last season as a regular. Robertson. however, is losing a lot of balls at tnird base and Huggins is faced with the necessity of doing something about it even if he has to return the spavined Dugan to the position. As for Koenig, he has made 11 errors <fn this ' trip, more than the Giant team put together on their last western invasion, and if any of them weren’t costly, Huggins would like’to know whose money is being used to the hill. In view of Ineffective hitting and pitching, the fifty per cent collapse of the infield and clownish catching the abiding wonder of the day isn't the fact that the Athletics were able to pare down the Yankees’ lead with their inspiring rush through the field, but that the Yanks have any lead at all. They have played exactly 4:OR Itaseball since knocking the Athletics off in that series at the stadium during the first week of July. o Golf Tennis Sport Fever Baseball Swimming' The members of the Decatur Country Club will play at the Portland Country Club next Wednesday, August 15. and a return match will he played with the Portland golfers here later in the season. Two gclf matches are under consideration between the local Country Club and the Hartford City Country Club, if arranged, these matches will be played in the near future and on Sundays. The directors of the Decatur Country Club are considering the purchase cf a beautiful permanent trophy for Club'championship, to be retained by the club, on which the name of the winner of the September championship tournament will be engraved annually, j Only Class “A” and Class “B” play- ' ers aie eligible to compete in this tour-
