But the figures on the Browns indicate that Manager Bill kil!e- fer's work is all cut out for him. To bring the team out of the sec ond division. pitchers must be do veloped And that Is one of BITS specialties.
 Under Killefer's schooling, Wal ter stewart became one of the sensations of the 1880 season. Last years phenomenon was young Dick Coffman from Athens. Ala. Who will be the pitching prize of 1932? Perhaps one, perhaps sev- eral stars will be brought along under Kilefer's careful guidance.
 Banking On Hcbcrt.
 "I am banking q great deal on young Wallace Hebert," said kille. fer. "He seemed to find himself al! of sudden last year--then his arm failed after one rainy day in Washington. The kid has Il good strong arm, but lump almost us large as an egg formed under his shoulder blade. But that is better now. and I look for some fine things from him.
 He has very effective curve ball. 1 have seen q lot of curves, but one was any better than the southpaw hooks with which Hebert struck out Al Simmons in that shutout game last year. The same curve made Jimmy FoXx look silly time after time.
 Rockies Like Work.
 'It is still too early to tell what can be done with such pitchers as Bob Cooney from Wichita Falls or Americus Polli from Milwaukee. But from what have seen Of them, either or both may turn out to be Just the kind of help we ned. Both were used pretty liber- ally last year, Polli working in 42 games. of which he won 21 and lost 15. Cooney worked 39 games. won T. and lost Q. They undoubt- edly are strong, with Il capacity for lots of work"
 Krcss In Right Field.

 "As see 1t now. mo-" he replied "The way things shape up now, Kress is going to play right field He was played at short, third, first hlu Outueiu iitsl StuT' Wouiu iihN to keep him at one spot.
