Rookie Crop in
Major Leagues
Unusually Lean
BY PAUL SCHEFFELS

NEW YORK, June 9.-tUPD-
This year has been responsible for
several baseball surprises such as
the rcjuVcnatiOn of several old
timers and close American
League race, but perhaps the most
signal occurrence is the production
of an unusually lean crop of rockies
This season was expected to be
golden one for newcomers with
no established stars like Ted Will
hams or Joe DlMaGgio to dull the
hopes of youngsters up from the
minors.
SITUATION REVERSED
It's been exactly the reverse, with
the number of outstanding rockies
totalling less than q dozen Except
for a few scattered successes, there
hasn't been performance to COM
pare with the first-ycar triumphS
turned in by Williams, DiMaggio
and Stan MuSial.
Only one new performer, and he
isn't playing regularly, is on first
base He is Napoleon Reyes of the
New York Giants. who shares the
spot with holdover Joe Orengo
All American League teams have
veterans at second base. Gerry
Priddy is ON second as a regular
for the first time with the Sena-
tors, but ne is a former Yankee
and hardly fnSt-Year man. The
National has two good second sack
ers in Lou Klein, Cards, and Eel
Stanky Cubs, so the Chicago player
gets the all-Star 8hOrtStop berth.
Most prolific turnover is among
the pitchers and Outficlders where
the brightest firSt-ycar stars in both
leagues have tWinkled. The cir
cults are about evenly divided, ac-
cording to both divisions laurels.
FLORES TOPS
The American League has as its
top freshmen moCmdsmen Jesse
Flores, Mexican importation with
the Athletics, Don Black, with the
same club; Stubby Overmire, Ii
gers; EWald Pyle, Senators, and
Charley Wensloff, Yankees.
In the National its pitchers, Nate
Andrews and Charlie Barrett of
the Braves; lack KrauS, PhillieS;
Xavier Rescigno, Pirates, and Har-
ry Brcchcen, Cardinals.
In the Outfield Dick Wakefield
Of the Tigers looks like the best
hitting freshmen since the days of
williams and DiMaggiO. Eric Tip

GOOD STOPS
Despite the fact that it was his
first game under lights Albright
ranged from second base to third,
making stops which would have
done credit to a Hans Wagner.
In fact, we thought Albright's
fielding as a sophomore surpassed
even his brilliant showing in his
Junior and senior campaigns. He
put on quite bit of weight in one
year and that seemed to slow him
down q bit. However, he still was
as good in the field-if not better
than most Pacific Coast League

the ivory hunters who sat in the
stands at Berkeley and drooled in
anticipation of signing him.
He averaged around .350 with the
