Ready for Race,
Reds Favored
To Win Again
Disrupted Cards Not
Seen Good Enough
To BoIk Champs
By GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

TAMPA, Fla, March 29.-The
Cincinnati Reds should win in the
National League again, for they are
ready ITO go. whereas the St. Louis
Cards still are in state of indeci-
sion about their infield and their
batting star, Joe MedWick, is dis
gruntled
No other club in the league ap.
pears to have strengthened enough
to challenge the Reds seriously, with
their great pitching staff. There is
feeling that frankie Frisch might
make surprisingly good race with
his Pittsburgh club and the Giants
Will be much better than last sea-
son, but neither has the all-around
class Of the defending champions.
The Cardinals have broken camp
at st. Petersburg, and Manager Ray
Blades still doesn't know whether
his shortstop is named Martin Mar
ion, Ed Lake, Don Gutteridge, Jim
Brown or Joe Doakes. He is in q
similar uuandary about second base,
though 1t looks now as if he will
fall back on Stuart Martin.
Reds Good Around Second.
This is not happy business for a
team with pennant aspirations. The
National League, with its tight
pitching and many loW-score games,
demands double-play combination
that works, which is something Gin
cinnati has in Billy Myers and
Lonnie Frey.
Though he finally has signed at
the clubs figure, Medwick is be-
hind the rest of the team in his
conditioning. His salary scrap with
Sam Breadon and Branch Hickey
was unpleasant. and the effects are
not likely to wear off soon. 1t is very
problematlcal whether Medwick
will have a good season.
All of this is very beneficial to the
| Cincinnati team, which has had no
salary dispute nor anything else to
| disrupt the serene course of it's
training. AS might be expected, the
Reds lack some of the fire and
hustle they displayed here a year
ago, when they were pennant hun
CRY, yet they have done no outright
loafing and as supremely confident
they can repeat.
Change in Left Field.
There will be only one change in
! their lineup from the one that
faced the Yankees in the World
| Series. Either Mike Mccormick or
Vince DiMaggio will be in left field
in place of Wally Berger. who is
being kept on as pinch hitter.
1t looks as though DiMaggio will
get the assignment most of the time,
for the rookie Mccormick has le-
vealed a serious batting weakness
and likely would not hit much bet
ter than $50 against big league

it's article "Trezona a Killer on the

been likened to movie gangster George

fluffed an easy shot, he can look twice
as tough as George ever has.
This Junior is serious, almost grim
about his golf game. When the days
play is over, he can be as sociable anC

the drive off the first tee and the last
