More Punch at Bat Would
Aid Club, Says Manager
Bill Killifer
BY ALAN GOULD

Associated freSS sports Editor
WEST PALM BEACH. Fla. Mar.
5-P-Baseball and boxing do not
have a great deal in common, but
there is one essential factor neces-
Sary to success in either sport.
"A boxer must start with the
punch" says Gene Tunney. That
is his main asset"
"A ball team must have good
pitching. and we have it," says Bill
Killifer, manager OF the st. Louis
Browns. but We can use more punch
at the bat"
Given another smuggling outfielder
Of the type Of Heinie Manush and
improved stick work on the part Of
the other regulars, the Brownies
would be as formidable as any out
fit challenging the hold of the
Athletics on the American League
championship. Killifer is searching
for the remedies while also hoping
his holdout worries Soon will be
over.
The Browns have one OF the finest
pitching stats IN either league.

den. and Blaeholder as the big
five" besides a number OF likely
prospects in training here. includ-
ing Dick Coffman. They have. in
Killifer'S opinion. one OF the great
est young catchers to come up in
years in 24-year-old Dick Terrell.
brother Of Wesley Terrell, Cleve-
land pitcher. They have a great
first baseman in Lu Blue. a fine
keystone pair in Melillo and Kress
and two hard-hitting outfielders in
Manush and Fred Schultz. There
is an excellent blending Of age and
youth, experience and aggressive
ness in the club, manifest to any
one who observes the Spirited work
outs.
AS 1t shapes up today. however.
the team lacks the offensive strength
to be more than a menace to the
Athletics. although the Browns last
season came as close as any club
in the league to breaking even with
the worlds champions.
