Baseball Surprises

This is the time Of year thai
baseball experts begin to officially
recognize things they said couldn't
come to pass in major and minor
league play.
They recognize, for instance, that
the New York Giants, presently
leading the National league, have a
much stronger baseball team than
preseason doping indicated. They
recognize also that the Boston Red
Sox, American league leaders. must
be seriously considered as con-
tenders. And they also realize that
the San Diego Padres of the Coast
league are definitely first division
ball players.
But along with these recogni-
tions the dopesters must consider
new facts, new possibilities. The
Giants, in winning six out of seven
games, have had only two pitchers
&c the route. Their pitching must
improve and the brittle Billie Jur-
CESS must remain in the lineup at

JurgeSs was injured in las
years campaign and after his de-
parture from the lineup the Giants
cause was a hopeless one. Other
mustS in the Giant picture are
these:
Joe Orengo, rookie third base
man must continue to deliver. Mel
! OFT must continue to furnish the
/ power, Joe Moore must retain his
batting eye and Gabby Hartnett
must deliver later in the season
as sub for Danning behind the
plate occasionally.
And the Red Sox. Their pitch
ing must remain at least mediocre.
The Boston team is admittedly the
lest hitting team in the majors.
Their victory streak at the present
time is due TO heavy stickwork, and
jimmy FoXX hasn't yet begun to
hit, Ted Williams is still out OF
the lineup
The case of the San Diego Padres
is the hardest to figure. The San
Diego pitching thus far has been
adequate, the hitting has been sur
prlslngly potent and the fielding
has been all that could be desired.
Biggest surprises on the team
have been, the hitting and fielding
