NEEDLES A Urge tuortmcal for aoH iog UKkius. liict 00 to 4.Dn By FRANK ECK A Nev.'.sfcatuns Sports Editor NEW Y(-HK -- Boston baseball fan- ,1k, old be mitjhty happy this ,t.i -on. They limin e to have the ,n hi Series to themselves - if the .In tl. hi of this writer bears hint. It looks like the Boston I Have-, in the National League and II,. Ito t,m Be.l Sox in the Auiei'i i an League. While many experts, meaning Ihe ha-ehall writers, are picking the lliookhn Dodgers to take the .Naliuiial League pennant, the writ er l inclined to feel that the .Mm i lean League again will have the real dognght for the top two i.i, Hi. ,ii',. The Cleveland Indians, victors in the six-game World tiles vnh the Braves last Octo ber, appear to be the ones to ..land in the way of an all-Boston World Seiies something that has i.evtr happened. Boston fans just missed bav in the entire Series In Bean- i Iti.tn last f, nlien the Indians and IVtl Sox finished in an un- I pie.Kler.tid tie after 154 games, Because Joe McCarthy's Bosox : l.ujl, several months before they ; cot lolling last year, everyone I atrecs they will be off to a bel le r start this spring.

Dropo hit j :' ha' I'lrmingham, Ala., last j veir II,. hit 14 homers and nine! moil- ii, the post-season Southern' ;-.or-iaiion playolfs. I Bi - ilk , Ilughson he has such I lai tinu' pitchers as Joe Dobson, J.'i'-k Kramer, Mel Parnell. Dave ! 1'erriss. Denny Galehouse, Ellis Kinder and Mickey Harris. Then of course there's the big man. Ted Williams, wtio hit .369 last year lo top the league. Like the Bosox, the Indians have terrific pitching. Manager Lou Koudreau has the best 1-2-3 starting array in the game in Bob Lemon, Gene Bearden and Bob Feller. Lemon twirled 10 shutouts, including a no-hit same against Detroit. Add Early Wynn obtained from Washinglon: Frank Papish, late of the ( hitauo While Sox; ageless Satchel Paige, Steve Gromek and Sam Zoldak and Cleveland, too, ha pitching depth. Indians Have Oldest Infield The Indians have a mew first baseman in Mickey Vernon, ob-! tained from Washington in a five playcr ileal. Vernon hit .353 to top the American League in '46. With Joe Gordon at second and Ken Keltner at ird, Cleveland has Ihe oldest lnt.id in the game. The outfield includes two outstand- i ing players in Larry Doby, fleet- 1 footed Negro sophomore and Dale ,m " rsi joe McCarthy I ! i way BILLY SOUTHWORTH Mitchell, whose average for almost tfiree sra-oi.- i ..i:u. The ."'.e.. Ymk Yankees are picked lor till: 1 1 in Ihe American League. Joe lii.laggio again has heel 1 1 1 hi l,li the lime on his right foot.

Ih think : hi-, A's will do better than I.i I year when they were in the fi-.'lit until the la-1 month. (.roth Is Prize Tifrer The Deli nit Tigers, under new manager Iterl I'.olfe. have a prize rookie in Ci nlerfit Ider Johnny Grolh, who hit .340 for Buffalo. First Baseman Llvsses iTonyi Lu pien, has be n obtained from the White Sox. The Tigers have good pitching. 1 wengthen them. The Chicago White Sox have a ntw pilot in Jack 1 Onslow, a few new faces but onlv one 300 hitter in Luke Apling. j They are picked tor the cellar af I tc-r having lost 1(11 games in 1943. ! Dodgers Lack Big Stick I The Boston Braves, winners by 6';. games over the St. Louis Car i dinais and by 7' :; over Brooklyn, I have the best 1-2 pitching punch ! in the National League in Johnny Sain and Southpaw Warren Spahn. , Sain won 24 games to top both leagues last season. Spahn figure-; lo improve- on his 15 decisions. The Braves have a well balanced team and their only weakness r, the lack of everyday righthnnded hitting outfielders. v However, in Pete Reiser, obtained from Brook lyn, and Jim Russell they have two good switch hitters. The solid man of the outfield is Tommy Holmes who has hit better than .300 five straight years. Bis bats in the infield belong to Bob Elliott and Alvin Dark, who may develop into a really outstanding shortstop. The Braves have in Billy South worth a manager who in ten years in the majors always has finished in the first division. He has won three pennants and is favored to winl another.

( rZf, SID it ,4 ' L F 1" i MURRY DICKSON gers in spring training this year for the first time. This is his team, they say. However, the Brooklyn picture still appears to have too many youths with good arms and legs. Rookie Cal Abrams is to be their new leadoff hitter. He's a rightfielder. They need hitting, especially since there still is no' it- to steal first base. I'irates Most Improved The Pittsburgh Pirates are the most improved team in either league. The strange purchase of Murry Dickson from the Cardinals and Rookie Bill Werle holster an aging pitching stall' that should see Bob Chesnes blossom into a real slar. Werle, southpaw sinker ball specialist, was the rave for San Francisco last year where he won 17 and lost 7, five of them be ing one-run defeats. Other Pirate pitching help should come from Hugh Casey, Brooklyn's 1917 World Series star who has regainrd his form, Bob Muiiciief, obtained from Cleveland, and Clifl' Chambers, ex-Cub southpaw. Veteran Catch er Clyde MrCullough, a Cub since 1940, is another valuable addition to a Buc team that has the league's best right-handed home inn hitter in Ralph ItlWr. In Bill Mever the Pirates have ! tiie "manager of the year" of 1948, his freshman season. i The Cardinals are lieiin! rele 1 gated to fourth position. Th(ey ! have hren weal,, lied by Ihe loss nf Dick-on sold lroin i ii lit under i Manager Ed. lie Dyer's nose by outgoing piesident Bob Hannegan. ; They alo have failed to come up with adequate replacements for : Terry Moore, now a coach, and Wliitev Kurovv'ski, who has an ail ' in? arm. Ifowiver. hie Cards still have Stan Alusial the in the !ea;?ue, and F.no and southpaw Harry With rookie pitching Red Birds would be tough. Phillies Stronger The Phillies, vvilh an under standing manager in Eddie Saw yer, are picked lo head Ihe sec ond division. Next to the Pirates, they have the most improved team in the league. Four valuable addi tions are tlie former Cubs, Bill iMcholson, Eddie Waitkus, Hank Borowy and Russ Meyers. The Now York Giar.ts, fifth last year, are dropped to sixlh. As Leo Durocher prepares for his first full year as Giant pilot, his only Improvements have been the addi tion of pitchers Hank Behrman from Brooklyn and Sam Webb, 18 game Jersey City winner, and out fielder Don Mueller who hit .358 in 36 games as a Giant late last season. The Cubs and Cincinni'i Reds will battle for si v.iifh place, a repetition of 13; ,i. the Reds won the spot hv half a game. The Cubs, it an:vars. pot the worst of Mr.lr deals wiih the Phillies for thiy lost two solid hitters in Nicholson and Wait kus. To fill the places of Borowy and Meyers they have Dutch Leonard and Monk Duhiel. The Reds might drop to the col lar unless Ewell Blackwell can come back after a kidn. y operation following a poor season. Their one bright pitching ad 'ilion ipears to be Harry Perkowi.!d v. ho v. on 22 for Tulsa last season. Tli. y a.0 have a speedboy in the ou Icld in Lloyd Merriman n hnm,.. r..... who must stick but who may' see nine ac-iion. 7T r J j, Defeat Brevard 12-0 V aatWl Ttt. ?'" . 1 i v 11 1! ptraigni Loop jj Industrial League Scores Ha?elwood-Enka ppd.
