HERR'S INFIELD I It''! FORM Sheely, Krug, Sands and Johnson Show Superior Work in Practice. Skipper Eddie Passes Holdouts Hold-outs Over to Magnates in Home Office. Special to The Tribune. PITTSBURG, Cal., March 21. Maybe Eddie Herr has only half a ball club, but he has one grand working infield if today's to-day's practice is any criterion. "With Earl Shcely at first, Marty Krug at second, sec-ond, Ernie Johnson on short and Harry I Sands at third, the railbirds were given a classy exhibition of fielding. This is the infield with which Herr will start the season. Sheely is the same old slugger, and lie is playing first base in marvelous fashion. Krug is not a flashy player, but he is consistent and ! a hard worker. Ernie Johnson is a high-class high-class shortstop, who will hold his own with the best in the league. He gets the ball away fast and he is going to start a lot of double plays this season. Herr is satisfied to start with present infield. . Rumler, Mulvey and Starasinich will very likely be the opening outfield. Rumler Rum-ler is a cinch. He is anything but graceful, grace-ful, but he murders the ball. Mulvey is fast and also might develop a hit. Herr thinks Starasinich is a fine prospect, and he is going to hang on to him. With the players' limit cut to bedrock Pete will be a useful man, as he can play any position posi-tion on the diamond. He is a natural hitter. Molyneaux pitched to the batter m practice and is ready to cut loose. He is a young giant, who scales over the 200-pound 200-pound mark. Lefty Schorr is in camp. He has been pitching a little all winter and is ready for the grind. Herr is through doing business with the holdouts. " He has passed the buck to President Lane and all negotiations with Leverenz, Ryan, Crandall and Orr will be conducted through the Salt Lake office.
