What is there to learn for aman who batted .346 and dove in 153 runs? Davis is majoring in the art of playing third base, a course designed to carry the Dodgers to the National league pennant they missed by one out in a playoff last fall. Dodgers General Manager E. J. (Buzzie) Bavasi rates the conversion of Davis from left field to third base as the No. 1 project of spring training.
