Young Reiser to be Cleanup Hitter
If MedWick Hits Into Double Plays
Tail End Of Its
Batting Order
Is Brooklyn
Only Problem,
By HARRY GRAYSON
NEA Service SpSrts Eliteg

oATLANTA, April 2-Daily it
becomes more evident that 81
year-old Harold Patrick Reiser
is the key man Of the Brooklyns
in center field and at the
plate.
Leo Durocher now has in mind
placing the st. Louis kid in the
cleanup slot.
Peter Reiser is batting third
at the moment behind Har-
old Reese and the surprising
Paul Waner.
Joe Medwick is the current
high explosive, but Durocher
will make the switch If Muscles
starts hitting into too many
double plays.
Medwick was never swift, and
Is a step slower than he was in
his fabulous campaigns with the
Cardinals.
The Carteret Clouter Is belt
ing the ball as he did for the
Red Birds. however, and every
body agrees he will be a tre-
mendous factor in the Brooklyn
drive.
Although a good share of Rel
ser's brief experience has been
in the infield, he moved into
Dixie Walkers middle field as
though he owned it.
Manager Durocher does not
believe the added responsibility
of being cleanup hitter would
affect his play.
"Medwick doesn't hit into too
many double plays, but ! know
Reiser is going to hit into fewer"
says Durocher. IF Reiser hit be-
hind Medwick there would be
less double-play danger in that
part of the batting order. With
Reiser on first base and Med
wick at bat the possibility Of
having the other clubs infield
