 Although lacking in experience, De- Berardinis seems the best bet at short while the regular twirlers Weiss and Franklin, alternate al the hot corner. Only Cody seems certain of his position in the garden as the rockies sweat for recognition.
 The pitching assignment K appar- ently we'll cared for as Franklin, Weiss and sham hurl them up in fine fctter Although Franklin looms up as the best bet at present, be- cause of his fast breaks the other two boxmen will undoubtedly be cal- led on for considerable service.
