"Whitey" Whitehead, who at his peak was the best second baseman in the National League, switched to third base this Spring and promises to be one of the best, if not the top, guardian of the "hot corner" for the New York Giants. "Whitey" has fully regained his health, and has been playing the type of ball which earned him the plaudits of the baseball world in the past. Whitehead is a well-educated ball player, having graduated from the University of North Carolina with Phi Beta Kappa honors. He is a brilliant fielder, and in April last year, made 11 assists in a game against Boston. He also wields a damaging bat, if not a heavy one.
