At the start the favored Walloper
decided to go places other than
those mapped by the committee
and finally got away a hundred
yards back of the field. Bagpipe
and Seafight took the pace at the
start and alternated in the lead,
racing head to head, stride for
stride, with the crowd expecting to
see the 9-year-old Bagpipe give way
to the 5-year-old Seafight. Then
from the ruck came Parma with a

ing, but there is little other improve
ment. On the other hs.l1., Casey
Stengel has lost Max West, Nanny
Fernandez and batting champion
Ernie Lombardi. He'll still have
enough to keep the Phils in the
cellar despite feverish efforts of new
owner Bill Cox to climb out.
The Yankees have entirely too
much pitching talent to be headed.
Furthermore, the team has two of
the leagues best distance hitters in
Charley Keller and Joe Gordon. Bill
johnson and George Stirnweiss, if
the Army doesn't nab him, should
team up we'll with Gordon and Nick
Etten in the intield. Joe DiMaggio
will be missed, definitely, but Roy
Weatherly Is not sorry substitute.
The Red SoX. who lost a complete
outfleld, star shortstop, and two
good pitchers, probably won't be
able to hold the runnerup spot
against Cleveland's bid.
The Red SoX do have fine pitch
ing. almost as good as New York's,
but Joe Croniii's gang hasn't the
power furnished by long Ted Will
liams, Shortstop Johnny Pesky, Dom
DiMaggio and Lou Finney. For out
f1elders Cronin has Pete Fox, the
aged Al Simmons and three untried
minor leaguers.
The Indians, figuring that JEFF
Heath will be in the fold. will have
a fair outfield and a pretty good
infield If Ray Mack isn't called up.
They won't be able to replace Les
Fleming satisfactorily at first. The
pitching looks fair. Over all, Cleve-
land seems a bit better than Boston.
Detroit should outpoint St. Louis
for fourth place. With Auker. Yer
non Stephens. Walt Judnich and
Joe Grace gone, the Browns have
lost most of the performers who
pulled them into third place a year
ago. Dick Wakefield. tabled as a
great natural hitter. will furnish
extra power for the Tigers. Rudy
York looks great and should be
among the leaders in runs batted in.
The pitching is better than good.
Washington's infield Is better with
Jerry Priddy at second, and George
Case, Stan Spence and Bob johnson
give the Mats the best outfleld in
the loop. Ossie Bluege's club could
be the surprise team Of the league,
but doubtful pitching relegates
them below the Browns.
The AS as usual bring up the
rear. several notches below the
White Sox. Jimmy Dykes club will
be weak in the outfield and will
lack power. The pitching may be
better than last year.
