club. stands little chance of being
fulfilled this year, despite numer-
Gus changes, including the hiring
of Burleigh Grimes as manager.
The Dodgers may win a few
more ball games than they did IN
1885 or even go so far as to finish
a notch higher than their seventh
place loding of last September.
That seems to be about all they
can hope for. The team is younger
in many spots by virtue OF winter
trades, but lacking in balance and
none too potent.
In training at the teams Clear
water camp and in exhibition
games. Grimes is beginning his
big league managerial career with
an inheritance that stacks up ap'
proximately as follows:
Baseball's Best
One of baSeball'S best pitchers
in the person Of Van Mungo., Who'
however, is temperamental;
putting and ponderous catcher
named Babe Phelps, who is a great
hitter but ordinary catcher; a
young and promising first base
man in Buddy Hassett, and 20 or
so other players, who, for the sake
of brevity, simply will be called Joe.
Best of the crop expected to
help Mungo with the pitching are
Fred Farmhouse, fair control
pitcher; Max Butcher, who hasn't
proved himself; Ralph Birkofer,
something less than a roaring sue
cess with the Pittsburgh Pirates;
Roy Henshaw, spot pitcher oo-
tanned from the Chicago Cubs;
George Jeffcoat, inexperienced
curve-baller, and several ambitious
youths.
Luke Hamlin, brought up from
Milwaukee, looks like the best OF
these, the group including big Jim
Petersen Of Louisville, Wally
signer out OF the New York-Penn
League, Harry Eisenstadt, etc, rot
forgetting old Watson Clark, who
NAV not last cut the season.
With Ray Berres gone elsewhere,
Phelps will have to do most Of the
catching, despite the fact that he
can't catch. But neither can Sid
Gautreaux or Randy Moore, the
ex-outfielder
Infield Improved
The infield should be an i'm
provement over last season, with
Hassett back at first and Joe
Strip at third and newcomers
at second and short. Cookie Lava
getto, obtained from Pittsburgh,
and Tony Malinosky of Louisville,
and Woody English, late Of the
Cubs, are in line for the jobs.
Lavagetto seems to be set at sec
ond, while the other two fight it
out at short.
If Strip suffers his custom
ary mid-season ailments, Jim
Bucher, the thin man, will see
some action.
The outfield offers Manager
Grimes further problems, with
Tom Winsett, of Columbus. home
run king of the American Asso-
citation; Eddie Morgan Of the
same team; Gilly Brack, of
Louisville; Nick Tremark. of
Allentown, and Heinie Manush,
of the Red Sox, trying to take
jobs away from Johnny Cooney,

of last years club.
Best fielder in the lot is
Cooney, but he doesn't hit; best
hitter is Manush, but he can't

photoflood lamp was placed in a re-
flector - tilted lamp shade may be
used if the manufactured type is not
available. The reflector was placed so
as to reflect the light upward and
slightly to the right.
To take a picture such as this,
place your camera as close to the
subject as possible, making sure you
see all the subject in the finder. With
a box, or other fixed-focus camera,
unless you use portrait lens or have
the type that permits getting as close
as five feet to your subject, you'll
have to place your camera at least
six feet away. Set the lens aperture
at the largest opening, turn on the
flood lamp and take short time ex-
posure. To make a snapshot with your
box camera, use a No. size flood
lamp. The image you get will be rather
small but an enlargement of the main
subject will make very attractive
picture.
If you use a focusing-type camera
you can either set the lens aperture
at 1853 and the shutter speed at l. 10

> Question: What is the sky filter for?
(M.E.S.)
Answer: Only the upper part of the
sky filter is colored. Therefore, it will
not be necessary to increase the ex-
posure when photographing a land
scape. The filter will result in the sky
photographing little darker SO light
clouds will stand out in contrast.
Question: What is the difference BE-
tvsen depth of focus" and focal
length'" (H.J.S.)
Answer: The focal length of a lens
is the distance that the optical center
of the lens must be from the film when
photographing a distant object in
order to get sharp image. Depth of
focus refers to the distance the posi-
ton of the film may be moved and
still get satisfactory sharpness. 1t is
often confused with depth of field.
Depth of field is the range of sharp
ness obtained when focusing at
given distance. When using a lens of
given focal length, greater depth of
field and depth of focus will be OBJ
tained by using small stop.

These tissues save noses and save
your money as they reduce hand
