A fw I exchanges would make for a more . equitable distribution of talent. Some clubs are long on outfteld- ers while others have a surplus t of infielders. Pitchers and catch ers are assembled in convention in some cities nnd lack a quorum tu I others. j One of the most persisting be ' liefs Is that if a rival is willing to 'trade a player, there must be some- thing wrong with him. The first j base siuatlon Is especially acute. ' j Two clubs, one In each league, are j overstocked. W a s h I n gton has ( George Slsler and Joe Judge nnd . could be happy with either if the tuner cnarmer were na. v in- cinnatl has George Kelly and Wal ly I'ipp and has not yet been uble' to figure a way to play them both on the bag at the same time.

In the National, Hrooklyn nnd Philadelphia are starting the sea son at first base with promoted minor leaguers who have yet to Itoston is t urnlng the assignment j over to a player who Is very, very I good when he is good and horrid when he is bad Hurrus. The Giants have seven outfield ers if Ott is included and only five 'infielders. The Yankees have the. place nlleluttered up with infiild- ers but no understudy for Lou 1 Gehrig, letter perfect 1n the part. The St. Louis Hrowns are woe t fully shy on outfielders, so des I perate that before the season gets j under way Dan I low ley may be ' found on a corner with a tin cup. hoping against hope that a fty- chaser may be dropped In. The Itrowns. moreover, are not in the best position to talk trade, ts thoy ! ne3d all the players they have. Detroit has Infielders almost he i yond the dreams of avarice and would cheerfully part with one for another pitcher who would win for ; the Tigers. Only the Athletics. Cardinals anil , the Robins may be regarded as sat ; isfled with their pitching staffs, j All the others would Jump at the chance to part with valuable con I sld era t ions for additional first class pitching strengt h. i If the trading mart could func tion on a wholesale scale, some I uteres Ing combinations might be worked out. Itoston could take Itrooklyn's buttery effectives and be practically assured of a one-two-threo place. This goes for all ! the other National league clubs, and I'ittsburg with the Hrooklyn e a t e h e r h alune transferred to , Korhes field would be regarded by j many experts as "In" before the ! race starts. The great equalization In base ; ball, however, will not come this ' year, and In many cases the rich ' wil continue to grow richer and the poor grow poorer. ? : f t f f y y X y ?
