'Great,' he said, 'but do I still get paid on the first and fifteenth for playing third?' " McCarWe accepted Manager thy's challenge and soon lined up the viewpoints of all the earnest athletes we could corral. In the concensus that followed, the catching assignment was rated the toughest by an extensive marWhat about the pitcher? gin. The pitcher only works every fourth or fifth day, and too often only toils four or five Innings. But the catcher, the better catchers, get few vacations. Yon might talk to Bill Dickey some time about this and discover the beatings they take around the plate. Catching a hundred ball games a year Is harder work than playing any other position for three hundred games. All of which leads up to the easiest or softest job on the team.

Suit I ,k eg?- CROSS ! i We talked with the Cardinals, Yankees, Red Sox, Tigers, Indians, and several others about the easiest position to play. From the start the players began voting for third and first base. The consensus finally settled on third base. As one veteran expressed it "I'll tell you about playing third base. On a general average when they slap one at you, it is either a hit or an out but nearly always a hit if you don't handle it Yes, there are bunts to cover, but as a percentage proposition, third basemen get few errors thrown into their records. It always happens in a hurry at third base and it is all different at short and second. They have room enough and time enough to move around. The third baseman ' ' r ... doesn't." NUTS By Arthur Pointer JITTER The next soft job consensus went to first base. But a first baseman is supposed to be one of the best hitters on the club. Charley Comiskey was the first of all the first basemen who left the safety of the bag to cut down a few drives slashed towards right field. That, 50 years ago, was a daring innovation. It remained for Hal Chase to prove how an artist could handle first. But Hal was too great an artist for his own good along certain devious lines we won't discuss here. Now here Is a peculiar angle. Baseball has known more great first basemen and more great second basemen than it has ever known shortstops and third basemen. Just how can yon explain this? At first base we have had stars from the days of Fred Tenney on, through Frank Chance, Stuffy Hal Chase, George Sisler, Lou Gehrig, and Bill Terry. Mc-Inn- is, By Gene Byrne REG'LAR FELLERS By Len Kleia VIRGIL villain- - y ;; 1 V.? , . Many Stars at Second Second has the longest parade of stars Collins. Lajoie, Evers, Frisch, Hornsby, Gordon. Doerr. But outside of the enduring Honus Wagner, shortstop has given the game few outstanding names There have been such good ones as Bancroft, Jackson, Jennings, Tinker. Long. Wallace but only a limited list ranged below Wagner's fame. Third base, voted as the easiest Job on the club to hold, should be arrayed and bedecked with great names. The list of good ones is fairly long. The list of great ones very scant. Jimmy Collins. Pie Traynor. Art Devlin, Heinie Groh. Red Rolfe, Bill Bradley, these were among the best. In order to ward off indignant and protesting letters we'll admit In advance that many good names have been left ofT the list, due mainly to a zigzag memory. The tough spot and the most important spot on the infield is the combination of short and second. Two fast men here can take pretty good care of the infU'ld. especially those of the Rizzuto-Gorduand the Pesky-Doetype, not to overlook Marion and his mate on the Cardinals. Third base may be the "hot corner" but it also requires less terrain to patrol. star of to f W 4 I t-- Wod.. i co(ot tee ?oiVd V 9 TOMORROW .LBIGHt ttprndabtt LAXATIVI GETA25'B0X IDMDBP TO GET MORE S1TRE63ff II your blood LACKS IR0!
