Playing the Field

IcCallister faces. Center field is by far the most difficult of the three I outfield positions. There are any num|ber of reasons that do not appear on the surface. In the first place, a greater number of balls are hit' to center field territory. There is considerably more work to the position. To play it well, speed is es-

sential. The ability to go to either side or in and out on a ball with equal ease is also essential. That's asking considerable. TRIS IS GREATEST SHERE never was a greater outfielder than Speaker. Even now, past the peak of his game, he compares favorably with any of the stars of either major league. True, he has slowed up a triflle, but, considering the severe test that he has put his underpinning to these many years, he is still a wonder at covering territory. Aside from the hole in center field because of the loss of so remarkable a player, his absence is sure to be felt to a great extent by Jamieson and Summa. Speaker’s judgment on fly balls and the amount of territory he is al.de to cover always struck me as bordering on the uncanny. For that reason playing on either side of him had a distinct advantage. Aside from this will be the loss of his coaching. Whenever a ball was hit to right or left field, Speaker was always backing up the play and offering words of advice to the man about to make the catch. POST IS IMPORTANT ONE mT has long been an accepted theory in baseball that the strength of a major league club can be estimated fairly accurately by the caliber of the catcher. pitcher, center fielder and the two infielders working around second. In other words, drawing a line, from the plate to center field best designates the positions that demand extraordinary play. % I.ook over the leading chibs In the major leagues and the trutli of the above statemei® is quickly apparent. Despite his weak arm, the Now York pennant winners in the American have a brilliant outfieldei*in Combs. Last year Cleveland j had Tris Speaker, wliile the Athletics have the sensational Simmons. During_the latter part of the 1926 season Goslin played that position for Washington. In Ed Roush, Cincinnati had a brilliant performer. This year he will be with the Giants. Douthit of St. Louis, while a youngster, is a great performer. He reminds one of Speaker. Yes sir! Filling Tris Speaker’s shoes is easily Jack McCallister’s greatest prohl^B.

PAOLINO DEFEATS HANSEN Superior Strength Wins for Basque Woodchopper —Wins Six Rounds. By Henry 1.. Farrell United Press Staff Uorresvondrnt NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—Paulino, the Basque Woodchopper, won a tenround decision from Knute Hansen, a tall, slim, Norwegian, Friday night in Madison Square Garden before 13,062 persons who paid $41,768.10 to see the fight. But Paolino, who stalled off Georg'. Cook, the Australian champion, in Paris three years ago without gaining much prestige thereby, didn’t show any more science or any more class in winning a decision oVer Hansen, than he did in the Paris bout. Hansen went into the fight with a reputation of being timid, meaning he would fold up when a punch was led to him. But Hansen didn’t fold up. He blocked, and he stepped back, and he stepped in with a left hand when the opening presented itself and he held his own through tour rounds of the fighting. Paolino with his superior strength and his fighting at close quarters, including rabbit punches to the neck, and left hand punches close to the belt, wore down the big Norwegian until he was so tired he could hardly raise a hand. The judges gave six rounds to Paolino, two to Hansen and called two rounds even. %
