BY WHITNEY MARTIN NEW YORK, March 27-(iP)-Filled with optimism, good will and fried chicken, Bill McKenzie told banquet guesta at Bloom ington, Ind., that his Cincinnati Red double-play combination of Eddie Miller, Linus Frey and Frank McCormick might some day be as well known as the famed Tinker-Evers-Chance combina- ation of the Chicago Cubs of bygone days. Now the good deacon might just have been talking words, as Tinker and Ever s and Chance weren't present while his own mod , era edition of was there with Afss'lvWdyJ sMoVsasa the triumverate funnel ears. However, we don't think so, as McKechnie, an astute baseball man, isn't in the habit of saying things he doesn't mean, and umpires, on the rare occa sions when he gets steamed up, know just where he stands. Usu ally close enough to snap at them. Furthermore, he might be right, although he's taking ia a tot of territory, as there have beoa some fine double-play combinations, and It's just eae maa's opinion against another's as yea can't go much oa the rec ords.

There are exceptions, of course, such as the first-short-first, or 3-8-3, play, one of the prettiest in the game, but they are comparatively rare.

For our dough, as an individual, Mar tin Marion of the Cards can play shortstop as he's really a fourth outfielder, and saves the center and left fielders pu touts just by casually reaching up and grabbing the ball. . But he had not played long with Creepy Crespi, who is sr mtie too siocjcy ior ine . meal second baseman, so as a combina tion they were more or less aver age. ow - uie uaiTiHua uvn count, except as they work as a ' team. Brandt, a confirmed Phil adelphia rooter, has a soft spot for the Ed Collins-Jack Barry j combination of the eld Ath . letics. He says : they eemple ' mented each ether ; perfectly, and always were practicing : plays. They could work the cut- off, where the second baseman cuts ia front of the bag, with ' men on first and third, to inter cept a throw from the catcher if necessary and block a double steal, perfectly.'
