Red Sox to
Develop Pitcher
Out of Infielder
R,v Associated Press.
HICAGO. Feb. 31.—
The Boston Red
Sox are about to
develop a pitcher
out of a player
who played short
and first base, ac
cording to Amer
ican league head
quarters here. The
New York Yan
kees will try
transforming a
pitcher into a first
baseman.
1 Fred Wingfield,
a six-foot south
crier. weighing 170 pounds, is the
"convert" the Red Sox'have in mind
tor a pitcher. Wingfield started with
Chattanooga in 1921 at short, acca
Sionally pitching.
He was a little unsteady at short
and was shifted over to first. His
great hitting was a factor and after
pitching a. number of games, Clark
Griffith of the Senators gave him a
trial.
Griffith had plenty ,of pitchers and
sent hint hack to Chattanooga for
more experience. He attracted the’
attention of the Rod Sox and will try
for a regular berth.

“Friscoe” Thompson Key to Lineup
of 1925 Oklahoma City Indians;
Pitching Department Needs Help
Jack Holland, owner of Tribe, figuring on securing former
Buffalo second-sackcr if Pirates cannot use Thompson -
will switch McNally to second base should ‘"Friscoe re
main with Pittsburgh or quit organized baseball.
K 1- A II O M A
(TTV. Feb. II.
If one could look
into the mystery
hall and tell
whether "Frisco"
Thompson will
land on the Pirate
Infield or wheth
er ho will come
to Oklahoma City,
he would be safe
In announcing at
this time tho In
dian lineup for
the opening game
of tho 1995 AVest
ern league pennant race just 90 day's
'distant.
It. would be something like this:
F. Thompson, second base.
McNally, shortstop.
Felber. right field.
McDaniel, first base.
T. Thompson, eenterfield.
Dagarman, leftfield.
Kliadot. thirij base.
Benn or Fitzpatrick, catcher.
May or Allen, pifclicr.
■Save for the pitching department,
the ftfrmer Omaha second baseman Is
the key' to the makeup In the Okla
homa City baseball rtub.
If the Pirates cannot use "Frisco"
next summer, be conies to the In
dians. If he comes to Ihe Indians
he will play second base. If he plays
second base. McNally will be switched
to shortstop. If McNally goes »o
stmrt, Khadot will be switched to
third base. If Kliadot goes to third
base, Joe Tate will be sold or traded.
And that's hr^v it stands.
McKechnie w ill not make a decision
on Thompson until the Pirates come
to Oklahoma Pity in April for a
series of exhibition games. Therefore
until that time McNally will be found
at second as usual, Khadot at short
and Tate or Menze at third.
Menze switched to first base from
the outfield late last season after 'It
Daniel had been injured, and looked
so good that he has asked for a
chance to see what he ran do ground
third base in the spring framing
camp. 1 nless a deal should be made
f„r his transfer before then, ids re
quest will be granted. Manager I et
tigrew declares.
Although Joe Tate has been more
or less dissattsfied here the last two
seasons and has expressed the belief
that be might be able to do better on
some Other teem, President Holland
Is loath to give him nr unless he can
use him In V>me kind of a deal w hicli
would Strengthen liis pitching staff.
Tate didn't get his batting per-en
tage quite UP to the .3f>0 mark Inst
season, but he broke up many a game
with his timely smashes. Further
more, unless Tate remains, the team
will be lopsided with right handed
batters. Tate, Tommy Thompson and
McDaniel are the only free-swinging,
natural left handfd batters on the
team, although Khadot aspires to per
fect his nearside stance, having
switched over from a right-hander last
season.
Felber and Hagerman. two of the
three outfielders, drive from the
off side, as do McNally. Menze and
both Benn and Fitzpatrick.
Anyway the infield is finally ar
