19 Frank Wallace, a shortstop, who batted for .372 in the New York-Pennsylvania league last year, has been bought by the Pittsfield club of the Eastern league from the Greensburg club. Wallace Is only 21 years ot age but he weighs 1S5 pounds and Is six feet tall. He was with the Brooklyn Nationals for a few weeks the latter part of the 1927 season. Wallace, a right-handed batter, has been recommended to Pittsfield, He is being obtained on a conditional purchase, the Hillies having a certain length of time to look him over. President Wilkinson, who announced the Wallace deal, is to give out In a few days the names ot some other players whom he plans to have with Pittsfield this year.

Wallace will have a hard job landing the shortstop position, as Pittsfield has the veteran Frank Parkinson for that post but he may get the second base berth, Tweet Walsh having been sold to Reading. 28 Last year's veteran infield has been held intact and Is expected to prove a foundation for Carrjgan to build on in his second comeback year along the managerial trail. Phil Todt, at first base, Bill Regan at second, Russell Rawlings at third and Rogell, Jack Rothrock and Charles "Buddy" Myers as shortstop or utility points on the base paths are again available. Rogell plays either second or third, Myer at short or in the outfield and Rothrock can handle any infield assignment, exclusive of battery work. The two outstanding infield recruits are Joseph Cicero, 16 year old youth who batted for .330 In the Eastern Maryland circuit after leaving school for the diamond, and Paul Hlnson, a third baseman purchased from Joplln, Mo.

Cicero's mother signed his contract for him. Totals 9 4 22 Sanderson B. F. P.
