It Is about an even break for Nlch- olls. This youngster did very well at shortstop hist year for Memphis. Probably he was the best man In the league nt that position: -But h man an displace any nf those Phila delphia American Infbiders und take a regulur position Is a good one and we’ll have to slip It to him. ’icholls Is young and It Is no cinch that he will hang on.
