The unexpected return OF Ed
Head, Pat Aikenman and Lloyd
Waner to Brooklyn; Spud Chand-
Ter, Ernie Bonham and Rollie Hem
sley to the Yankees: Pete Oscar
arat to Pittsburgh, Lou Novikoff's
signing with Chicago, and the sur
prising shift that sent Tony Luz
pien of the Red Sox to the Phillies,
are just few examples of last
second moves that will alter line
lups.
Probable Lineups
A glance at Tuesdays probable
lineups reveals that 60 percent of
those who started last year are still
available and some clubs have seven
in the first nine and others an
average OF five, not including entire
squads of subs.
Until Lupien was traded. the Red
SoX could be given the same old
lineup with the exception of the
battery.
The infield of the st. Louis
Browns is still intact
Some Clubs Hard Hit
The Giants have only Johnny
Rucker, Mel OFT and Billy urges
as holdovers for the present, and
most of the others are new faces.
The Detroit Tigers likewise only
have three who opened the l943
season, Rudy York, Pinky Higgins
and Roger Cramer.
Four hundred and seventy-four
players have contracts for the big
show. About 40 percent are AT, the
same percentage of la and the
ether 20 percent is divided with
military discharges. under 10, or
over 38. Cubans are not subject to
draft for six months.
Pitching Prospects
Manager Mel OFT has nominated
Bill Voiselle to hurl tomorrow's
opening game for the Giants against
the Boston Braves. Voiselle was
the 'losingest' pitcher of the In
ternational League last year, drop
ping 81 and winning only 10 games.
Edwin Roe of the Pittsburgh
Pirates will have the distinction of
being first-year man assigned to
the mound on the opening day
Connie Mack has decided against
Bobo Newsom as the opening day
hurler because of his indifference
in the exhibition games, and has
picked Luman Harris.
