On the ability of Jackson to continue to play, in a sense, depends the chances of the Giants to win.

Should Jackson's knee fail him, the burden 'of playing that most im- portant position will be up to Far-| rell, the former University of Penn- sylvania star.

In the event there fre any players who, like 'myself, experience times 'on the green when they are hitting the ball here, there and eyerywhere, I must point out what I have in my own case found to be the cfuse. This temporary paralysis is caused by the tightening of' the muscles of the wrists and forearms, with the result that the ball is stabbed by means of a stiff jerk of the arms. The wrists must be allowe" freedom .and the club. must not be gripped too firmly for putting, but those who are suffering from an attack of putting 'paralysis should exaggerate the looseness of the grip and wrists. There is one. ether common fauit in putting to which I must refer, and that is the tendency to turn the right hand over at the moment of. impact. This action is to be avoid- ed at all costs on the green, as it applies a slight pull to the ball at the end of its journey. When suffering ffom disappoint- ing results of this nature it is well to see what position the head of the putter is in at the end of the stroke. The toe of the club will generally be found to be pointing in the direction of the hole instead of being at right angles to it. ------ YANKEES CONFIDENT IF INFIELD HOLDS Miller Huggins Believes He Has a Powerful Club. Atlanta, Ga., April 5.--The New York Yankees may not play in the world's series next fall, but they will furnish the American League team that does *'a whole lot of bother," Miller Huggins, their manager, said to-day. Huggins, sr., with the team for an exhibition match with Brook- lyn, gave out a statement which he termed "the first comprehensives re- sume of spring training develop- ments." There is only one place in the Yankee combination that is like- ly to cause trouble and that is the Anfield; Huggins stated, adding that his infleld was of tremendous in- trinsic strength, but as yet unde- veloped. He is confident that by the time the season opens his combina- tion in the infield will have develop- ed co-ordination in defensive, play. "I have doubt about the offensive. All those boys can hit," Huggins sald. "IT am a great bellever in de- veloping the disposition of a player as well as his skill and I am frank to say that as yet, I cannot tell what my infleld is going to do." : Huggins believes that Gehring at first, at second and Koenig at short will produce.

New Orleans, La., March Manager Lee ¥ohl of the Red Sox is an optimist. In baseball an optimistic man- ager is one who, after finishing in last place, still smiles and can see better things ahead. : "Sure! It's going to be a better team than last year," remarked Foh! when I queried him as to outlook. "No doubt there are some unkind folks who will discount that state- ment by saying the club couldn't be any worse. }~'I am going to get better pitching. I believe I am conservative when I say it is going to be at least 2 per cent. better than last season. That should help a lot. "lI am banking on my 'Big Three,' Ehmke, Rufing and Wingfield, to keep the club out of last place. "Ehmke has always been one of the best pitchers in the American League.

"Of course, I am looking forward to improvement in all other depart- ments, but of the pitching I am posi- tive it Is certainly going to be better than last season." As I watched the Red Sox work out here I could see the logic in Fohl's line of reasoning. relative to his pitching. It should be much bet- ter and the team should prove more formidable because of it. However, as Fohl frankly admits, for the club to start to get anywhere the infleld must be welded together, At present, Phil Todt at first base is perhaps the only certainty in the Red Sox inner combination. Fred Haney, who did some mighty good work for Cobb at Detroit, and Chester Fowler, with Minneapolis last year and who has been up be- fore with Cincinnati, will fight it out for third base. Shortstop is Biggest Problem. Regardless of who wins the berth, the Sox will be better fortified at that position than in years. Haney wil be hard to beat. In that' case Fowler may be used at short. Emmett McCann, who starred at: Pcrtland in the Coast League last season and who was dug up and tried out by Connie Mack some years ago, is the probable choice for sec- ond. Shortstop, the most important position on a 'ball club, is the least scttled of the Red Sox problems. It would be taking a long guess at this time to mame who would play the spot at the opening of the season. Shortstop is Lee Fohl's biggest .puz- zle. The outfield will be much the same as last year.
