Connie Mack has a feeling that Trls Speaker will end up his baseball career as a flrst-sacke- r. When he read that Guisto would Start the season and Bower would suc-ceed him In case the Callfornlan failed to come up to expectations, Mack re-marked : "Even If Guisto and Bower full to deliver, Speaker wouldn't have to worry. Have you ever watched Speak-- - er playing the infield? Well, he puts a lot of time around first base, and '". plays it very capably. "Playing center field calls for much leg work. If Speaker finds his lower . limbs are bothering him, I can see no reason why he couldn't shift to first base. He Is a wonder on ground halls, ' Is a r, has a fine arm and Is a sure catch. Speaker has every asset of a star flrst-sacke- r and It wouldn't surprise me If he rounded out his ca-reer at that position." j There is much logic to Mack's obser- - ; vatlons about Speaker. For years the Cleveland manager has practiced a great deal at first base. He Is right now capable of playing the bng.. With a bit of experience he could more than hold his own. It Is possible that Speaker may be ' the ace In the hole for that Job In case ' bis prospects slip up on him. nowever, Speaker feels that Guisto will deliver and that In Brower he has an equally capable substitute.

Bentley Improves J Batting by Change t Said Jack Bentley when men- - f tion was made of the similarity ' of his batting position to Ruth : t "I used to take the long, hard cut at the ball Ruth takes, but t found myself stepping out too J much. You have to take that ' i kind of a swing to hit them as J far as Ruth does, but I found J t out that If I wanted to strike out less and make more base hits I'd J have to tighten up and I did. It ' J seemed to me that by making the , change I was playing more for ' t the ball club."
