|York's Hitting Is Key
ToSuccess Of Bosox,
Cronin Believes
By the Associated Press

SARASOTA, Mar. 17.-Rudy York,
the big, balding Indian who almost
single-handed battled the Cardinals
down to the wire in the last World
Series, will be the key man in Bos-
toms effort to win a second straight
American League flag, says Man
ager Joe Cronin.
If Rudy produces another such
great season as his first with the
Red Sox after being obtained from
Detroit, when he hit .276 in 154
games and piled up 253 total bases,
then Cronin thinks his club will
have very good chance, indeed.
And there's no reason why he
shouldn't that I know Of" Joe said
around the edges of large cigar.
Hes just reported off that Georgia
farm of his and he looks right down
to his playing weight. That's all I
ask-just let Rudy hit that ball like
he did last year.
IT won't worry about what he
does down here. He can't hit a lick
in Florida. Last spring I don't
think he even hit long ball until
we were on the way north. But he
was still hitting them the last time
I saw him in the series. He made
our club"
If Rudy comes through, Cronin
says. he will remain unperturbed
over the Sox S obvious weaknesses at
third base and in right field.
when you have strength through
the middle like we have good
pitching, Johnny Pesky and Bobby
Doerr at short and second, and Dom
Di Maggie and Ted Williams in the
outfeld-then you can get by with
out world beaters at a couple OF
spots.
"Ill be willing to go along using
two or three rightfelders, the way
did last year, and dividing up
third among several men, including
Don Gutteridge. if Rudy keeps on
hitting that ball.
81 think my pitching may be a
little better. Last year, as you re-
CALL we really had very little after
Ferriss, Hughson. Harris and Dob
son had taken their turn. Now I
think have couple of boys in Mel
Parnell and Harry Dorish who might
be ready to step in there.
Another rookie who has caught
Cronin's eye is Bill Goodman, who
hit a lofty .389 in Sc games with
Atlanta last wear,

Weakness on Mound
And at Short Hurts
Cubs Flag Hopes
By the Assoeiofed Press

LOS ANGELES, Mar. 17.-Pen-
nant winners in 1945 and third in
1916, the Chicago Cubs can expect
to slide still further down the Ma
tional League toboggan this season
unless their pitching jells and they
suddenly come up with a shortstop.
That seems to be the consensus of
observers at this early stage, OF
course, the Cubs are just over from
the island fastnesses OF Catalina
and may not have lost their ferry
boat legs.
There's a lot, of high-class talent
running around in Cubs regalia-
Phil Cavarretta, Andy Pafko and
Harry CPeanuts) Lowrey probably
are as good as any outfield in the
ma jors; Eddie Watkins, Don john
son and Stan Hack make three
fourths of fine infield; Clyde Nc
Collough, Mickey Livingston and
Bob Scheffing all are capable
catchers.
But until events prove otherwise,
there's a big hole out in the short
field and a lot of guys named Joe
on the mound.
Manager Charley Grimm still has
hopes that Bob Sturgeon will fill the
bill at shortstop. Sturgeon showed
signs of a revival late last season,
pulling up to .296 at bat.
If Sturgeon founders, there's al
ways veteran Bill Jurges, once the
greatest shortstop in the league-or
halfback Ace Parker of football
fame, or Lenny Merullo, who batted
a hollow Isl last year.
The pitching could be great If
Hank Borowy regained his form of
1945 and earlier years, and Claude
Passeau recovered from back op-
Grafton in time to pitch by mid
season. Among other regular start
ers will be Lefty Johnny Schmitz
and Righthander Hank Wyse.
Emil Kush probably will head the
relief brigade again.
Potentially powerful, the Cubs
could be pennant factor if they
plug the leaks at short and on the
mound
