United Pres Staff Correspondent)


NEW YORK, Feb. 1l.--No Ma
tional League club has made more
efforts to bolster the weak spots
than the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Pirates had one OF the hard
est hitting teams in the league last
season, but they were weak de-
fcnsively at first, shortstop and left
field. The pitching Naff, too, was
far from stable.
With tighter defense and
stronger pitching, the I,ates look
like Il pcnnant contender from
April to October.
Three of the Pirates recruits
have all indications OF developing
into FIRST year stars. StcXc Swctonic,
the Young right handler from Indian
apoIis, is counted ON as regular
member of the pitching staff. He
won 10 games and lost cighl last
tason and turned in three victories
in the little world series against
Rochester,.
Larry French, who won II games
and lost l. for Portland, comes up
highly recommended for his bril-
liant work in the Pacific Coast
League.
The third youugstcr who is billed
for "A regular berth is Jimmie
Stroncr, who WIS regarded as the
best player in the Western League.
He battcd .367 for Wichita, iuclud,
ing / / home runs, 10 triplr1 and -
doubles, and stole II bases.
Veterans will form the backbone
Of the pitching. They Include jess
Petty, the silver haired sout hpaw
acquired along with Harry Ricunda
from Brooklyn in exchange for
Glenn Wright; Burlcigh Grimes,
Lee Meadows, trying = comeback ;
Ray krcmcr, Carmen Hill, Joe DaN-
son and Fred Fusscl
Other ncweomcr| are Henry

Sparlly Adams will be shifted
back to second base and Pie Fray
nor will hc moved from third to
shortstop. Dick Bartcll, who played
spIcndidly Y at second base and short
stop during the last part Of last
season, may upset these plans and
win himself regular berth in the
inficld.
Stroncr is scheduled to complete
the inficld at third base, bat will
have competition from Riconda.
The Wancr brothers will occupy
two of the outficld bcrths, but there
