In some of the early games, he seemed almost hopeless but he has been improving steadily for a week now and Jennings likes him better with every succeeding battle. It look Jones a long time to get limbered up in fielding but ho is handling himself like a real big leaguer now and ir he ' continues to improve, third base will at least not be considered a weak spot. Bobby has been hitting fairly well and has not exhibited the dread symptoms symp-toms of being "fish" for southpaws. If he does develop a weakness against the port-side pitchers Jennings has Dyer, a righthand batter and just about as good a fielder as Jones, 'to fall back on. "The other infield positions do not require any discussion. Burns, Young and Bush are performing in their usual brilliant manner and If Jones can speed himself up to keep pace with them, the quartet will be about the fastest in the leaguo. Burns looks great both in batting and fielding. Ho has made a dozen sensational plays In the series with the Giants and it seems almost impossible to throw a ball so high or so wide that he cannot at least block it." |
