CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo, April /.
If an infield were all a baseball
team needed, the st. Louis Browns
would be pennant contenders this
season with 4-F quartet composed
of George McQuinn, Don Gutter
idge, Vernon Stephens and Ellis
Clary.
This all veteran combination
measures up to the Boston and
Cleveland infields and, on paper at
least, appears superior to anything
that the New York Yankees or the
other clubs can boast.
Stephens, it can be recalled, was
one of the leading batters of the
league, although slumping of at the
seasons end to 289. McQuinn had
a bad year, batting .243, but he is
capable of much better stickwork.
Gutteridge. pepper of the infield, hit
.273 and Clary had an average of
.26O.
With the likelihood that pitching
in general will be weaker, all four
have chance to improve their slug
ging.
Once past the infield, the Browns
have little more than a list Of as
sorted names for the other positions.
Their three catchers are inexperi-
enced, and their outfeld includes a
combination OF erratic youngsters
and veteran castoffs. u1s1 ~

cation.
Exhibitions are played mainly tc
determine how far the pitchers are
advanced and how clear are the
batters' eyes. Mickey Haefner, Ver-
non Curtis and Juan Hernandez
looked as we'll as could be expected
in their three inning turns, but the
Mats batting was nothing to boast
about.
In all they cleaned II safeties-
one double by Luis Suarez and
another by Curtis good for a similar
stretch-of Jack Neal, Frank Glib
son, Leslie Butcher, Gordon Cole
man and Clifford Davis. Runs were
yielded by all but Butcher.

OF the Washington fingers, Haef-
ner permitted solitary single, Cur
tis was nicked for three hits and a
tally and the Bombers got one hit
and an unearned score off the Ven
ezuelan, Hernandez. Not bad at all
1t was Suarez who drove in the
Mats first two runs. With the bases
crowded and two gone in the OPEN
ing round, he rifled the ball to right
for two sacks, and George Myatt
and Stan Spence crossed.
Two were out in the fourth when
the Mats got two more markers.
With Fermin Guerra on first, john
ny Sullivan singled, then Curtis shot
his tWo-bagger to center. This tai
lied Guerra. and Sullivan was safe
when the Bomber catcher dropped
the throw home.
In the seventh, Jake Powell walked
and counted when Johnny Bucek
hit after one was gone. JOHNNY
took third on the center fielder's
wild return and got home on Bob
Ortiz's hit.
There were two out in the eighth
when Hernandez drew a pass and
rode home on Gil Torres hit, made
after Powell walked.
Bat Boy Gets Into Action.
The bat boy got into action in the
fourth when he failed to get out of
the way of Suarezs foul. This pre-
vented either the Bomber catcher or
first baseman from reaching the
sphere. Both hit the Washington
aide and bounced back.
1t was about the widest bit of
business in the game.
Valdes looked good with his toss
to Pedro Gomez that caught a
Bomber runner f1atfooted of second
base. The Bomber was run down
easily.
Bill Ebranyi, who replaced Joe
Kuhel at first base, was the lone
Nat to get more than one hit. His
two were somewhat scratchy.
All the fancy fielding was done by
the visitors. Their center fielder,
Betz, with six putouts, was an espe-
cially busy athlete. And the two
double plays of the game were
made by the Bombers.
Gomez pulled f1ashy play in the
seventh when with the bases packed
he went far to his right to haul down
Brady's loft. The Cuban shortstop
wheeled quickly to be set for throw
