FIVE PIRATES BRIGHTEN
 CLUB CHANGES
BY LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor

New York, April G. (UP) The work of five men has manager Frankie Frisch of the Pittsburgh Pirates smiling and that could mean trouble for the other National League clubs.
 Not that the five men put the Pirates in the same class with the Cardinals, but it does make the Pirate chances a lot brighter than they were when Spring training opened.
 The players are Shortstop Bill Cox, outfielder Ralph Kinder and pitchers Jim Hooper, Ed Albosta and Edson Bahr. The fact that Frisch has decided definitely to go along with them means that like so many other pilots, he is turning to youth.
 All of them are rockies, although Cox was up with the Pirates before he went into the service and Albosta once was given trial by the Dod- gers.
 In Kiner, FrLsch believes he may have the rookie of the year.
 He has been breaking down the fences all spring and has won him. self a starting berth in the outfield He will be flanked by Bob Elliott shifted from third base to righ; with Jim Russell. Johnny Barrett Al Gionfriddo and Frank Coleman competing for the left field post.
 Cox is Certain to start at short with Elbie Fletcher at first, Jimmy Brown at second and either Lee (Jeep) Handley or Frank Gustine at third. Babe Dalgren and Pete Coscarart, if he comes to terms, fig ure to stick as ,>~-ity men.
 Catching is no problem with Al Lopez, Bill Salkeld and Henry Cam elli forming one of the strongest receiving staffs in the loop.
 Pitching, as always, promises to be FriSch's biggest headache.
 In addition to Hooper, Albosta and Bafr, Rip Sewll, Nick Strince- yich and Ewlin 0Preacher) Rowe, ii he recoyers from the fractured skull he received last winter in 8 scuffle with a basketball referee figure to be starters. Ken Gables Ken Heintzelman, Bob Klinger Fred Ostermueller, Johnny Lanning Al Gerheasuer and Bill Brandt are the other leading possibilities. Pitchers SO-SO
 The Pirate manager, who is more or less on the spot this season knows that pitching is going to make i or break the team this year, anc he isn't too high on the chances oi coming through He feels that tht rest of the club stacks up as first division material.
 Unless the Pirates have a gooc season. Frisch's days in Pittsburgh may be numbered. The fans al Forbes Field put him on the Spo early last year and there was somt doubt at seas9n'S end whether h. would be retained. But owner Bil BenSWanger renewed his contrac for another year shortly thereafte and the feeling was general at tha time that it may be FriSch's las chance to produce. The fact of thu matter is that Frisch has not haC championship material to work witt and has done as well as could bt expected with the players he had But club owners want pennants anc Frisch hasn't brought Benswangel one since he took over the Pirates reins seven years ago.

Montgomery us LuRoOer

New Haven, April 6,-George La Rover of Philadelphia, who is booked to fight Bob Montgomery, worlds lightweight champion, att he Arena here next Monday night, is a young man who doesn't believe lightning strikes twice in the same place.
 He knows that Montgomery knocked out Ernie Petrone in the fourth at New Haven two weeks ago but stolidly maintains that it cant happen to me"
 LaRover is a bobbing, weaving type of fighter, not a standup like Petrone, and, different too, ht packs more of a punch. On theS' two he banks his chances of com- ing through 10 rounds-and, to hi way of thinking, on top.
 A stellar undercard backs up thu main bout. Tickets are now avail able.
