CUBAN BACKSTOP
NAT SENSATION
BY DICK WYATT

COLLEGE PARK, Md. April s..
---(P)-Followers of the Washing
ton American League baseball
Senators are willing to wager that
2o-year-old Cuban will be behind
the plate on April ID when the
Senators open the pennant chase
with Connie Mack's Philadelphia
Athletics.
Fermin Guerra, from Havana,
Cuba, eve have told you about
him before is giving Rick Terrell,
a veteran of some IA years in the
majors, a. fight for the number
one catching post in the Senator S
starting lineup.
Guerra has shown Manager o.
sic Bluege that he is workhorse.
Time after time during the spring
training workout Bluege has waved
the 1eo-pound Cuban to the show
ers only to have him to shake his
head vehemently against his or
ders.
Guerra handles the knuckle ball
offerings of Dutch Leonard and
Roger Wolff in good style, feat
that is worth mentioning because
any catcher who can handle those
kind of pitchers is worth his weight
in gold to any ballclub.
The work of the Latin Guerra
has become the talk of the camp
and Bluege is figuring on working
plenty this season.
The Havana boy, in three exhibit
ton tits, has raped the ball for
several hits, most of them for ex-
ira bases that have driven in sew
eral runs.
A man that carries that kind OF
power in his bat always demands
plenty Of attention from manager.
Guerra certainly is in Skipper
Bluege's eyes.
Guerra has seen service in the
United States before as basebal
player and is more Or less at nome
with American players. Hence, ms
ability to understand his diamond
colleagues from North OF the
border" and to be in better posi-
ton than some Of his fellow Latlns.

Pitching is the big headache for
Manager Joe Cronin as he heads
into his tenth term as pilot Of the
Boston Red Sox with his work cut
out for him in trying to improve
on last years seventh place finish.
Cancellation of today's scheduled
exhibition against the Giants here
further hampered Joe's efforts to
get a line on mound strength.
Added power in the person of
Indian Bob Johnson and a we'll
balanced vet infield and improved
catching are counterbalanced by
the loss of such mound stalwarts
as Tex Hughson, Dick Newsom,
Mace Brown and Joe Dobson.

bet for regular turn. Joe Wood,

Much depends on Johnson key

Bob had his poorest big league
season in 1943 when he hit only
1865. Pete Fox, a .288 clouter, is

NEW YORK, April 5-tR-Con-
corning a recent piece we hacked
out concerning smart baseball
teams, the snlartness being judged
by the number of the past, present
and future major league mana gers
on the rosters. John j. Mahoney of
st. Louis wonders if we didn't over
look the Cardinals of 1888.
AS guess we mentioned the
Philadelphia Athletics of 1928 as
possibly the smartest team by that
standard as, i'll addition to Connie
Mack. the club had Ty Cobb,
Mickey Cochrane, Eddie Collins,
Jimmy Dykes and iris Speaker,
in addition to Eddie Rommel, who
went wrong and became an UNI
pire.
Mahoney PORTS to the 1888 Card
inal roster which, in addition to
Manager Gabby Street, listed the
following managerial brain trust:
Burleigh Grimes Jimmy Wilson.
Leo Durocher. frankie Frisch,
Rogers Hornsoy and Bob O'Far-
rell Frisch incidentally, managed
the team rart of that year.
And as clincher in tn e
managerial sweepstakes Hahoney
adds that two other men on that
team-Peppe1 Martin and Jimmy
Collins became minor league
managers.
