Baseball will be more Interesting to watch In 1950 if the freshmen stars of last season, who now are sopho mores, come through as anticipat ed.'' ',S The second year player is one of the main topics of discussion during these early days of spring training.-Here at the vast Dodger camp there is only one sophomore. A .1 It V - 1 . . .. . . 1. . I mm u iic is cause lur cunctrn me Dodgers are not showing U because he happens to be Don Newcombe, regarded as the best right hander In the National League. The sophomore year, however, has been the Jinx year for many youngsters. The list of second year , disappointments Includes such names as Pee Wee Reese, rhll Ritzuto, Danny Lltwhller, rimer Valo and Charlie Keller, who hit .334 as a freshman but dropped to .286 in 1940. More recently you could ' add Alvln Dark, Richie Ashburn, Del En nis. Larry Doby. Sam Mele. Bob by Thomson, Earl Torreson and Vic Werta to the list. A look at some of the fine pitch ers who were failures their second year in the majors is startling. Gene Bearden dropped from a 20 gamc freshman season In 1948 to 8 wins last year, Bob Chesnes went from 14 wins to 7 and before that Art Houtteman went from 7 to 2, Tex Hughson from 22 to 12, John- ny Vandor Mcer from 15 to 5,1 Dutch Leonnrd from 14 to 2r Jack Kramer from 9 to 3 and Dizzy Trout from 9 to 3. Newcofnbe is far and away the pitcher who Will be most discussed in baseball this season. A real workhorse who tan pitch with two days rest although he failed . to do It in the World Series the '23-yedr-old six-four Negro won 17 games. Five were shutous. It's all the more remarkabie because New combo didn't get his first start un til the season was five weeks bid. OfT his debut year a conservative estimate would give Win 22 vic tories this year. Some estimates run as hlnh as 30. : j:;;. , i;.. The A thirties ovn at West Palm Beach have another soph who rates high, fie Is Alex Kell , tier, 26-year-old southpaw who won Jh last year, lie pitched 20 complete Karnes, had no shflt nuts but ranked 12th In earned runs. v.;.. Another potential mound ace is Cleveland's Mike Garcia, 26, whose 14 first year victories Included five shutouts. Like Newcombe, his first starting job didn't arrive until May 22. The Bostbn Red Sox have two youthful southpaw sophs, Maurice McDermott, 21, and Charley Slohbs, 20. McDermott won only five games after being recalled from Louisville In mid-June but they say he's another Lefty Grove. Stobbs, signed out of Norfolk's Granby High, won 11 last year. Joe McCarthy hopes these two will be regular starters. The Pirates have a fine lefty In Bill Werle, 23, a 12-game winner. His 100 strikeouts ranked seventh In the league. May 11 marked his first victory as a starter. In the infield, several ,1949 freshmen have the start on what appear to be fine careers. In Gerry Coleman, 25, the Yankees havo a second baseman in the graceful ness class of the old Joe Gordon. 1 ) Si V X' DON NEWCOMSE '" " 7 v'v'i WTHS 9 In Two Games This Week Waynesvtlle High School's base ball team will swing into action again Wednesday after more than a week of idleness.- Tlieljoys will meet Brevard, then will tangle with Canton on Friday.
