Why is II Thirdbaseman?
At ITTTJS browatng among the record* di*clo»e* the name* of 1«
third basemen who are conaldered tried and proven in tty ma, r
are the real thing Os the*e 16. only two had
elected to be thirdba*emen when they started the.r has
jlxion Thev were Frank Baker, now of the Yankee# and t *r lal* >nv h.
Boston Braves Oecar Vltt aa* an outfielder and second tm-* man
* ** corner Terry Turner started at flr.t and ■hlf *d

All of which arouse* a bit of speculation From this lineup. I f would

There you have It—and likewise the amazing spectacle of a third

Kt and eaaeting than hta own That isn't orthodoi at nil The 1 1 k*-

LWhich be bad announced Said James
1 mean what I say If I'm going to talk about what a third
haaeman needs In the way of talent and that sort of thing, lye
got to confess that I think shortstop in the hardest position to
play on the club. I think a good ahortatop ran pla> anywhere in
