 Tampa, Fla, March 12-(UP)- Pickups and putouts in the Grape fruit Leagueg:
 2gt. Hank Greenberg is going to play first base for, the Camp Mac dn1 (Tampa) team while he's in training for the air service :. Hank, who worked out with the Tigers the other day, Is 8 little ,lu- happy just now because, like every ball player, he craves to get into the harness every spring Mur- ray Dickson, Cardinals rookie right-hander who won 2l games for Columbus last season, actually weighs 149 pounds although he's listed on the roster at 155 He throws Q wicked knuckle ball and has plenty of swift for a little guy
 Sam Breadon, owner of the Card inals, works out in uniform every day with his club and has his own locker with his name on it in Man. ager Billy Southworths combina- tion office and dressing quarters When the Indians made three runs off Bucky Walters, Reds ace, in an exhibition game the other day, soldier fan in the stands re- marked: Same old Indians. They'll murder everybody until June" Bill Lohrman, eX-Giant who came to the Cards in the Johnny Mlze deal, has his teammates in stitches with his noise making invention, description of which is impossible.
 On the Hustle
 Billy Southworth of the Cards and Lou Boudreau of the Indians are the hard-working managers in Florida Southworth helps simplify his job by keeping track of his players and what work they do with Q chart Boudreau uses 8 basketball referees whistle to keep his players moving briskly from ore type of training to anoth- CT It's strange to visit the Indians camp and not see Bob Eel Ter He was to the Indians what Babe Ruth was to the Tanks, Walter Johnson to Washington and Pepper Martin to the Cardinals.
 Al Schacht, baseball's clown prince who's travelled 342,00o miles by automobile in the five years he's been making public appearances in the nations major and minor league ball parks, is afraid he's going to have to thumb his way to keep some of his engagements this sea- son He figures his present tires will last until mld-June He travelled 64,000 miles last sum- mer by car, and used up $1, 100 worth of gasoline and $590 worth of tires.
 Bill Werber would have retired from baseball If the Reds hadn't traded him to the Giants He has the l:indliest of feelings for the Cincinnati officials but he wanted to branch out in another field and quit baseball But getting chance to play in New York again after being traded away by the Tanks in his first season aroused an old spark in him Those reports that Tommy Henrich, Yankee outfielder, has been classi- fled in IA are erroneous He's been placed in group which hasn't been classified yet.

SAUER SEEN SOLVING
 LEFT FIELD PROBLEM

Ball players tell you left field should be played In rocking chair, yet this comparatively soft job has been a headache to Deacon Bill Me- Kechnie since Wally Berger fell apart at the seams.
 After playing every inning of every game of the Southern Asso- citation season, lank Hank Sauer joined the Reds in September as leading candidate for an outfleld job demanding a two-flsted seeker. Though he stands 6 feet 4, you get some idea of Sauer's ninbleness and ball-handling from the fact that he was a basketball star.
 But mainly Sauer is a left-fleld long-range baseball shooter, his saga of l94l featuring home runs over Birmingham's left field fence. Redwood Park there has a score- board 40 feet from the plate. After Uniting this target twice with line drives, Sauer finally drove a ball 20 feet over It's top for a new all-time record.
 Cro,ity Field. where the Reds play half of their season, makes long-range hitter, whose power Is to left field, doubly valuable to the cause. Sauer batted .330, drove In IA runs for Birmingham.
 A LIVELY HEMSLEY
 REPLACES LOMBARDI
 Rollle Hemsley replaces Ernie Lombardi behind the bat. The vet eran is surprisingly lively and Is backed up by Dick West and Ray Lamanno, who batted 294 for Bir- mingham.
 The inheld is, of course, set with Frank Mccormick, Linus Frey, Eddie Joost and Maas. Extra hands are Bobby Matti:k and Charley Alero
 There are plenty of outfelders In addition to Sauern These in- clude Harry Craft Mike McCor- mick, the comeback Ival Good man, Jim Gleeson, swift Ernie Roy, Mike DeJan, Frank Secory and Ed Lukon. Secory Is in from Syracuse, Lukcn from Knoxville.

BOB HOPE SEARS
 IN COMEDY FILM
 AT 10TH CENTURY
PauIeffe Goddard Is Back with Comedian in "No-
 fhing But inc Truth

When Bob Hope makes bet of $1O,0O0 that he can tell the truth for 24 hours, you can bet consider ably more than the price of ad- mission to the goth Century Thea tre, that what will follow will be high-speed, gag-glorious comedy.
 Hope makes the wager in the new Paramount farce comedy, Nothing But the Truth" co-star- ring Paulette Goddard, and featur- ing a comedy cast packed solid with favorite names, including Ed ward Arnold, Jeff Erickson, Helen Vinson, Catharine Doucet, Glenn finders, Grant Mitchell, Rose Ho- bart and Willie Best. An added recommendation is the fact that the new laugh opus was directed by Elliott Nugent, comedy-wise di- rector of one of the two previous Hope Goddard adventures into the laugh sphere, "The Cat and the Canary
 Right now Hope is just about tops in film comedy, following sock successes in such comedies as Road to Singapore" Road to Zanzibar" and Caught in the Draft His film following has been increasing by leaps and bounds with each new picture, until now his eminence as a comedian is almost undisputed.

OFFICER TELLS

 ALCAN HIGHWAY
Lieut.. Richard |. Neuberg- CT Addresses Cham
 Der Commerce

Lieut. Richard L. Neuherger. aide to Brig Gen. James A. O'Connor of the Northwest Service Command, told members Of the Juneau Cham Der of Commerce at the noon lunch con meeting today that Gen. O'Con- nor and his staff hope to visit Juneau in the near future and talk over the problems of the new Alcan Highway relative to how they affect Southeast Alaska
 Lieut.. Neuberger, Public Relations Officer, also told members that Gen. O'Connor has extended an invita- ton to any Southeast Alaskan to visit with him and his staff in Whitehorse
 Remarkable Achievement
 Neuberger, well-known writer and a member of Oregon's State Legisla- ture, touched on the early disagree ment concerning the route of the new highway which will be formally opened on November 20, but said that he didn't believe that any dis agreement existed when it came to considering the remarkable achieve ment reached by Army engineers and civilian workmen in putting the 1,6O0-mile road throug in six months, many months ahead of schedule.
 He stressed one point-"This is not a finished highway" he said. Neu- berger pointed out that compared to roads in the States, the new Alcan Highway is by no means completed. Tn many places it provides only for one- way traffic. Other sections will not be open to traffic during the thawing season.
 But Very Useful
 But the road can be used," he added, ito move thousands of tons of equipment and supplies to Alaska from Central Canada" beginning tentatively on November 20 and ex- tending through the winter.
 Eventually, he said, the highway will be further developed and will have access roads to the coastal com- munities. He described the present route from Dawson Creek to White horse and Fairbanks as the begin ming of network.
 Building Bridge
 Paying tribute to the men who butt the road, Neuberger told of one Negro regiment pushing a bridge across wide river in A hours, driving piles and laying blanks so that two-and d-a-half- trucks were able to cross. The men worked with little equipment and under the dif- faculties of long supply lines in pushing the highway across four or five mountain ranges, through thick forests around and over muskeg. , Trucks with vital supplies for the Alaskan forces already have almost reached the Canadian-Alaskan bor- der and are expected to be roaring into Fairbanks in about two weeks. The final through occurred several days ago.
