It's our lob each season t-o peer into a crystal ball and foretell what’s going to happen, as far as tan players are concerned. There is an element of danger in the as signment the vicissitude# of baseball account for that. It's a part, of human nature, of course, to expact great things from those who have something in common with us. That's why we’d like to sea Detroit and the Boston Red Sox finish at the bot tom of the American League. Af ter some 13 seasons, they’re the only teams in the major leagues with "nary" a tan player. Pleasant But Difficult Choice it’s pleasant, but, difficult, choice io make when we try to forecast the most valuable player in the National League. Usually such a player is a member of a pennant winning team That practically eli minates Willie Mays, of the San Francisco Giants whom T wvnsider the best placer io the majors. The Giants seem doomed for aegond division Hank Aaron won the honor last *©sion. He's certainly a good player and could win it again, especially ; lf the Milwaukee Braves repeat,. The Braves., however, are not my choice to won the National League pennant. I'm picking a dark horte—llio Cincinnati Red le-?s Thus, mv choice for the NL s MVP award is 5. member of the, Hedies? And that would be none other than Frank Robinson, at 2J, » truly out, sard me performer. It wouldn’t surprise me if the outfielder, in only his third sea son in the majors, achieves his goal of winning the Mbs home nm. batting and RBI champion ships, - Another contender will bo Brine Banks,, slugging shortstop oi the ; Chicago-Cahs But with the Cube almost certain to be a sixth, or 1 seventh or eighth place finisher j Banks’ chances for MVP consider ation are remote to say the least.

It’s my oon viction that the big right- I handed ace of the Lo» Angelee Dodgers will do it despite the irreparable loss of his old bat terv mate. Roy Campanella. One of the most underrated players in NL this 'season is likely to be Charley Neal, the fin* in ; fielder of t.he Dodgers.

I think Cepoda's home run power will win him the honors over Vada Pinson, the 19-yeaif old speedster who is starting hi the outfield for Cincinnati.
