A* for Billy Cunningham, Shlnner's
rival for tho Job, ho 1* a vastly tm- ;
proved player thin aprlnir. lie too haa j
picked up thin** very fa*t and he li 1
hitting In bettor form. He look* very j
protn!*lng Indeed. We need entertain
no fears about the Job left open by
tho going of Burn* to the Red*.
Ike Boone, who led the Southern I
AmocIhi ion last. *ea*on, no doubt v"|
remain a* a pinch hitter and atrdent |
In outfield tartlc*. Boone I* n great
natural hitter". He throw* those fine
should*? of hla Into his blow* and he
hn* that follow throUKn down to a
nlrety. But he In rrudr |n the fleld '
? nd needs a. lot of drilling. He will
be a lot more effective as a defensive
man when ho gets down to weight? |
about ISO pound*. I like that Boone
type of bitter who make* the ball *lns?
throvgh the Infield. He ha* great poten
tialities?and ha too want* to learn,
'"asey Kteng?| look" lighter, faeter'and
better than he has ftoked In yeara
In tho Infield the most promising of I
[? tJie recruits is Edwin Halo, who rame
| to ns direct from Mississippi College
' ;tnd brought with him many of the
| usual college fallings. If Ilale can over
I como a couple of bad points In his field
ing style ho will develop into a groat
player. He may be & star In another
I year or two, or lie may be no better
than he Is now. With material like that
there is no telling?and It t>eys to teach
it and wait. He should remain with us.
