It was shortly after Bobby’s shift to third base |ast summer that he began to hit at the .374 pace whifiji he maintained down the stretch run of the national league ..camt paign. But Irvin’s loss —perhaps for the season—left Leo no choice. "Bobby goes back to, the outfield,’’ barked Leo. “Thompson plays third.

Athletics Are Short On Both Power, Speed West Paljpr Beach, Fla., April fA—(UP) —Jimmy Dykes thinks his Philadelphia Athletics have a “fighting chance" to win the AYnerc can league pennant,’or failing that to wind up in the fij’st division. He attaches only One * f if” to it—if his aging infield can hold up another season. It’s a big if, for he has few reserves back of the veterans. i If they start fading it well could be another sixth place l ”finish for the A’s. Dykes points out ithat his club played the best ball in the league over the last six weeks) of 1951 and “gained the confidence it needed for it was knocking off the top teams day after day.” The records bear him out on that, but the fact remains that he is short on power and speed. Unless Dick Fowler can finaly overcome his bursitis, he may be short of pitching. But Jimmy doesn’t think so. He feels he has the best left handed pitching staff in the league with liftle Bobby Shantzi, Al Kellner, Morrie Martin and Sad Sam Zqldak. For right banders he has , Bob Hooper, Carl Scheib. and Joe Coleman. Coleman is a question mark, for he has been of little use for three seasons because of chronic, arm trouble. But he showed signs late last season of coining back and Dykes is hopeful. Two rookies, Ed Burtschy and Harry Byrd, an 18-game winner at Savannah last season, could make the staff and if Fowler is right it could be one of the best in the league. I In the outfield it figures to be Gus Zernial, the league’s home run and runs batted in champion in left: Elmer Vaio in center and Al Clark in right. In Clafk. Dykes believes he has picked up a power hitter who never received "a fait chance” when he was with the Yankees or Indians. His No. 1 utility man will be Dave Philley, a fine defensive man biit only a .262 hitter wi(h rookie Keith Thomas, whb batted .282 at Kansas City last season, likely to win the other garden reserve spot. I • The infield will have Ferris Fain, the league’s batting champion at first; Pete Suder at Second, Eddie Joost at short and Hank Majeski at third. Joe Tipton, who can hit the long
