Almost a million ddMars' worth of young ball players wil! be tried out this season in the major leagues, Most of them will make the grade not so much because they are great ball players but for the reason that the two big leagues are in desper- ate need of young blood. Duties other than bageball which fell upon young men during the war times set the process of devaol- oping young players back about three years and it is just now that the minor leagues are beginning again to turn out stars in large numbers for the faster company. Every club in the two big leagues has or more young players down important jobs, and in several cases pennaut chances depend in a large part on how they deliver one This is particularly true with the St. Louis Browns, who have Rob- ertson, a youngster, on third base, and Durst, another one, on first base. The fate of the St. Louis Cards also rests in a large part on how fast Holm, a college boy, comes in understudying Doc Lavan, and how well Bottomly gets along at first base. The Chicago White Sox also stake their chances on | Willie Kamm, the California third baseman, and Cleveland has two | important places occupied by young- | sters--Lutz at third base and] Summa in the outfield.
