THE MICHIGAN DAILY"" ' l1 LI-TC-A COBB BNKS I THISL ER e - By Jack Keene The education of Jimmy O'Connell. X75,000 beauty of the Giants, is now 'under way. There are several things helhas to'iearn about the art of play- ing ball as they play it under the bi; tent. Wherefore John McGraw is de' termined that he shall learn and the training of the youngster has begun Being an apt pupil, O'Connell is lear- ning quite rapidly and by the time the season opens, he probably will have absorbed the bulk of what McGraw now is showing him. Judging fly balls that come to him out of the blinding glare of the sun is something at which O'Connell. i not yet particularly adept. Jimmy was not an outfielder by choice at the out- set of his pirofessional. career. He played first base and, if one may be guided by the form he has shown in H few workouts around the initial sack at San Antonio, Tex., he must hav( played it pretty well: When the Giants purchased himn, higwever; it was wvitt the intention of using him in the out- field. George Kelly is so good and stands up so welt under the strair of hard. play day in and day out that McGraw is, not yet buying anybody with a view of using him in Kelly'r place. So, last year when Jack Mil- ler went.out to San Francisco to man- age the club in that city, McGraw ask- ed him to convert O'Connell into ar outfielder. It came to pass that O'Connell was switched from first base and took up his stand in the 'outfield. . As. to what he accomplished there the records d( not tell a very flattering tale. 0' course, the records do not always tell the complete truth or anything like i'_ about a player, but they are offered' for what they are worth. Among the outfielders who played in 150 games or more in the Coast league-the teams average about 200 games a season- O'Connell ranked no higher than thir- teenth. Men. like Babe Twombley, Joe. Wilbert and Duffy Lewis had better marks than O'Connell, who, was char- god with twenty-one er.rqrs in 172 games. From' the coast comes a hint that Jimmny car't go back on balls over his head, and from the manner in 5 T.
