their Earl Torgeson for Manager
Bucky Harris of the New York
Yankees is willing to bet that the
rookie star of 1947 is blossoming
right in his spring training camp
here.
He has what he considers three
outstanding candidates for rookie
laurels this coming season-in-
fielder Bobby Brown, pitcher Don
Johnson and Lawrence (YogD
Berra, who came up as a catcher
but has been shifted to the out
field.
"All of them are coming stars,
and can't miss" Harris predicted
today IT am willing to go out on
the limb right now and tell you
that all three of them will be regu-
lars this season. They haven't
commanded the newspaper space
that Hartung and Torgeson have
received, but they have shown
enough to lead me to believe
that when October rolls around
one of them will be tagged as the
rookie of 1947."
Tentatively, Harris has assigned
Berra, a long ball hitter, to right
field and Brown to third base.
Johnson is being counted upon to
be the fourth starting pitcher,
back of Allie Reynolds, Floyd
Bevens and Spud Chandler.
