When a baseball manager points with pride to the occupants of eight positions and views with alarm the candidates for the pitcher's peak, it Should not be a cue-line to register surprise.

Already the ex-soldier members have demanded an amendment that will prevent Jack Dempsey from boxing in this State untitl he is purged of the charge of having evaded the draft. Senator Walker stated that he was willing such an amendment should be made. He refused, however, to make it in the Senate yesterday on the ground that it would delay the measure so that it would "get into the hands of the Assembly Rules Committee," which he said he feared would Thegformer service men at their meeting did not act formally upon the question.

Assemblyman Louis A. Ctivillier offered a resolution, but it was not acted upon. Several of the soldiers, however, went to Walker and the Senator stated that he had no objection to such an amendment being made in the lower branch when the bill came over.

There is nothing to worry about in the outfield. Bobby Veach in left. Ty Cobb in center and Flagstead or Chick Shorten in right are enough to make any manager congratulate himself. The infield, however, Is different. Harry Heilman will be at first and Donnie Bush, who, by the way, is starting on his thirteenth season with the club, has shortstop cinched.

Second and third are yet to be filled, and Jennings is experimenting in the present series with the Braves. R. S. (Pep) Young is the regular keystoner, but Bill Siglen, who was with Portland, last year, is giving him a hard rub for the job. Pep is a great fielder, but a weak hitter, and when it comes to stinging the sphere, Siglen shines.

At least, that's what they say here, although he swatted for only .279 on the Ralph I'inelli is making a strong bid for third and may send Bobby Jones to the locker. Ralph was purchased from Sacramento and looks like a good player. He was with the Yankees once, but lingered only a couple of minutes. Bam Hale, who once was an outfielder, played a great game at third for San Antonio last year and also is a candidate. Jones still is in the running.

He had a great year in 1918, but last year he slumped. Perhaps he will come back this year. Ellison, the utility In-fielder, also is working out.

JENNINGS had a good ball team last year and make a strong 'bid for the pennant, but weakened at the finish and ended in fourth place.

This no doubt was caused by the poor start. Before the season was a month old, the club was in last place and it was tough sledding from then on. Hughey aaid the boys took things too easy in the spring series with the Braves and grew overconfident. The Boston club furnished little opposition and the Detroit players knew they could loaf for a time and then go in any time and slam a few runs over the plate. They By ABE YAGER.
