Because his two additions to the outfield, Joe Soltz and Rud Hoye, have not been pounding the ball with the regularity expected nor in the clutches, Mitchell has revamped his batting order moving the newcomers down the list in favor of third baseman Dick Grondahl and second sacker Dave Shean who are now in positions 4 and 5 respectively...

Ed Ingalls or Slim Curtiss will be the starting hurler...
