Manager Charlie Grimm looks
for vast improvement and, lin
fit of fancy, says his 1949 Bruiia;
might even edge into the first di-
vision.
He is pretty well pleased with
his infield. He thinks it will be

1t may be a little premature to

guished Belgian, and--hold on
Mort Cooper, former idol of the
St. Louis. Cardinals. q
OF the two. Leonard, 1917 last
year with an earned run average
of 2.l7, is probably the least
gamble. He's bound to win a few
for the Cubs.
Cooper, however, is seemingly
not only making conscientious

lies, Doyle Lade, Bob Chapman
and Reliefers Jess Dobernic anc
Emil Kush, plus late starting BOZ
Mccall, are the main hopes. TOi
the freshmen, Dewey Adkins. a
l7-game winner with Los An

There's an interesting posi-
bility in Calvin Coolidge McLish,
the highlander acquired in the
deal that sent Cliff Chambers, to
Pittsburgh. He spent most of
1913 at Indianapolis, winning II
games. He won nothing for the
Pirates. But both teams agree
that either McLish or Chambers
might develop into exceptional
ly good pitchers. It's a gamble.

Andy Pafko, Hal Jeffcoat, Pea
