Bosox Should Trouble (Continued from page 2) non Stephens, who came to the Red Sox from the Browns along with Kramer and Kinder, will be in the shortstop slot with Johnny Pesky shifted to third and Bobby Doerr still at second. Murrell Jones, the first baseman, is a relatively weak stickman, who hit only .235 in 109 games with Boston last year. William Goodman and Billy Hitchcock are capable of turning in good infield utility jojos. Good man hit .340 for Louisville last year. In the outfield, "Thumping Theo dore" Williams needs no tintro duction. Neither does Don Dimag gio nor Sam Mele, who hit .302 in his freshman year with Boston last year. Stan Spence, who was obtain ed from Washington, Wally Moses, and Neill Sheridan, a $50,000 pros pect from the Pacific coast league, are scrambling for positions on the team. From the looks of things, the Bosox will give the Yankees a gocd fight for the American league EYES EXAMINED Glasses Fitted DR. ALDEN C.

KENTUCKY, OILERS DOMINATE OLYMPIC BASKETBALL SQUAD Probably the greatest collection of amateur basketball players in the world, 14 in all, were named last week as the squad that will represent the United States in the coming Olympic games. The Phillips Oilers of Bartles ville, Okla., who defeated the Un iversity of Kentucky 53-49 in the Olympic tryout finals, landed five men on the squad as did the col legians. The Oilers have been the Nation al AAU champs for the past six years, while Kentucky has been one of the greatest powers in col legiate basketball in the country for quite some time. Here is the Olympic team of which the average height is 6 feet, 3 inches. Bob Kurland, Phillips 66 ? 7 ft. Jesse Renick, Phillips 66 ? 6-2. Gordon Carpenter, Phillips 66? 6-7. R. C. Pitts, Phillips 66 ? 6-4 Lew Beck, Phillips 66 ? 5-10 Alex Groza, Kentucky ? 6-7 Wallace Jones, Ky. ? 6-4 Cliff Barker, Ky. ? 6-1 Ken Rollins, Ky. ? 6 feet. Ralph Beard, Ky. ? 5-10. Vince Boryla, Denver Nuggets? 6-4. Don Barksdale, Oakland Bittners -6-5. Jack Robinson, Baylor ? 6 feet. Ray Lumpp, NYU ? 6-1. Omar Browning, Phillips coach, Will be head coach of the Olympic squad and will be assisted by Adolph Rupp, Kentucky coach. pennant, and if their pitching comes through, the race may turn out as a toss up. BRIEFS-IN DETAIL (By Bobby T?rr*ll) This week is the big one for sports fans of this section. The Brooklyn Dodgers will square away in Asheville Thursday and Friday in a couple of exhibition games with the Asheville Tourists. Both the Dodgers A and B squads will be on hand for the games and that means all the Dodger big wigs? 1 Casey, Branca, Robinson, Reese, Reiser, Lavagetto, and many others. It has been a long time since the people around here have had an opportunity to see a major league club in action but now's your chance, so make the most of it. At least three Western North Carolina boys found their picture on the front cover of this week's LIFE magazine, and two of them were from Sylva. On the cover was a picture of some of the base ball players in Dodgertown, Fla., and among them were Ben Dil lard and James Cunningham of Sylva and Tom Fore of Canton and WCTC. They're all good ball play ers and we hope they make the grade of organized ball. J. B. Beam of WCTC is already living up to our predictions of be ing one of the sluggingest players in the North State conference this year. The lanky Catamount first baseball has been up to bat 12 official times. He has made five hits including two home runs, one triple and two singles for a .416 average. ? We're still waiting to see what happens to North State battels when Lawson Brown of the Cata mounts shakes the soreness out of his pitching wing and really turns loose. That's going to be good.

Cardinals Look Good In National League Injury Jinx May Hurt Them The St. Louis Cardinals, compos ed chiefly of veteran major league talent, could very easily come up with something that the Dodgers, Braves, etc. could not handle this year, that is, if the old injury jinx will lay off. But the little "if" is already hard at work. Marty Marion, the Cards' great shortstop, has a knee injury Growers of lettuce in North Car olina will plant about 1,300 acres this year, compared with 1,200 acres harvested in 1947.

Whitney Kurowski is still around to work at third, and Dick Sisler, Nippy Jones, and Glenn Nelson are fighting hard for first. That's the way the infield looks. The outfield looks O.K. with Stan Musial (providing he doesn't have to go back to first),-Enos Slaughter, Terry Moore, Ron NVrthey, Ervin Du^ak, and Charley Diering. Joe Garogiola looks like his old self behind the plate and Del Rice and Del Wilber are around to re lieve him. Now we come to the Cards' star studded pitching staff headed by aces Harry Brecheen, Murry Dick son. George Munger and Howie Pollet. Dickson and Pollet both had bad season's last year but are looking great in spring training, especially Dickson who hurled a Seymour Sparks Faculty To Win Over "W" Club John S.
