NEW YORK. Feb. Casey
Stengel looks on 1850 with the
assurance of a man who has
beaten the world once and would
like to make it a habit.
We're still the team to beat"
he said yesterday in the Offices
of the world champion New York
Yankees. There was no boasting
in his tone. The Yank manager is
too old and has ridden the rocky
road too many years to do that.
That Boston club looks the
soundest of the Others" he said,
mind, now, I'm not trying to
manage anybody except the
Yanks. But I'd think with fell
lows like that Stobbs and Nc
Dermott to start off the year
helping Mel Parnell and Ellis
Kinder. they ought to be better" {"
Stengel referred to Chuck
Stobbs. the bonus kid, who seemed
to find himself late last season,
and Maury McDermott, the loose
limbed rookie southpaw, who per-
formed sensationally until he
came up with a sore back.
Detroit ought to be better" he
said. II guess you'd say they i'm

Di Mag Sees 4-Team
Battle for Pennant
BY the Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. T.
The American League pennant
scrap will be Away battle be-
tween New York, Boston, Detroit
and Cleveland, with the Yankees
the toughest team of the crop. So
says Joe Di Maggie, who reports
he's in the finest physical condi-
ton in years.
II doubt If we will have such a
flood Of injuries as we had last
year." said the New York outfeld-
er. Bob Porterfield and Frank
Shea had trouble with their
pitching arms last season but ]
think they will be more useful this
year and give us an added lift.
Di Maggie rated Detroit as
vastly improved with the acquisi-
ton of Second Baseman Jerry
Priddy. He fears Boston's hitting
but believes the Red Sox will be a
bit slower. Joe doubts if Cleve-
lands infield will. stand up
through the long grind, but has
complete respect for the Indians
front line pitchers, Bob Lemon,
Mike Garcia and Bob Feller.

Yankees as Team to Beat

they needed more power in the
infield. Well they got Gerry Prid-
dy from the Browns and Dick Kry-
hoski from u.s.
Somebody asked about Connie
Mack's Philadelphia Athletics.
What did he think of them?
I'm just glad I don't have to
hit against their pitchers" he an
swered. Makes me glad I'M a
retired ball player"
Stengel didn't go into the Cleve-
land situation much except to re-
mark on Bob Lemon as a "real
good" pitcher. He did talk about
Luke Easter, figured to be an In
dian regular.
"Out on the Pacific Coast" he
said, they all tell me that Easter
will hit that ball a mile When
you say something about him not
looking so hot up here they'll say
that was the knee operation, he
wasn't striding right"
Stengel also singled out Gen.
terflelder Irv Noren, up from
Hollywood, as the only real help
Washington had added.
"We never tried to strengthen
any place except to get one start
ing pitcher" Stengel added. But
nobody offers us a starter. If
they'll do We'll renegotiate."

Quantico Team Choice
To Win Senior Crown
|InGoIdenGIovesFinaIs

The Quantico Marines, with four
fighters in the finals at Uline
Arena Thursday night, are pro-
hibitive favorites to capture the
senior team trophy in the windup
of the Golden Gloves District of
Columbia AAU boxing champion
ships. However, any one of five
District aggregations conceivably
can make off with the coveted mug
if the Leathernecks falter.
Teams representing the District
National Guard, Merrick Boys
Club, Police Boys Club No. 2,
Twelfth Street YMCA and Boiling
Field each have two finalists in
the senior sector and each of these
lads will be ferreting for any pos
sible flaws in Quantico's armor.
However, with 2 points acquired
in the semifinals last week, plus
four flnalists on Thursdays card,
nothing short of a miracle will
prevent Coach Freddy Lenn's
charges from Juggling the trophy
down to Quantico just as they did
at the completion of the 1948
tournament.
On the basis of form, though,
two District contenders have a
better than fair chance of pre-
venting Quantico from making a
clean sweep. They are Paul Nicol,
tough little fyweight from Mer-
rick Club and husky Johnny
Shields. the Police Boys Club
No. 2 light-heavyweight.
Both won Golden Gloves novice
titles last year and have shown
considerable improvement since
then. In the semifnals at Uline's
last Thursday Nicol sprung a mild
upset in taking a split decision
from Dave Primrose, veteran
Glover from PBC No. 2, while
Shields won similar verdict from
Nat Williams, Alexandria Recrea-
ton Center. | ts
Nicol faces Quantico's Allen
Santoy in the finals and on paper,
at least, appears to have a slight
edge on the service Scrapper,
while Shields stacks up as an even
bet against Eldredge Thompson,
the Marines 175-pounder..

McKeIdin Announces
Plan 10 Check Report
OF Bay Span Damage
By the Associated Pres,

BALTIMORE. Dec. 5.-Gover-
nor-elect McKeldin plans to have
an engineering check of the Ches-
apeake Bay bridge made to see if
1t is sturdy enough to stand up
against the tides and ice.
He said that he has been told
that the underwater section of
the span now being constructed
between Sandy Point and Kent Is
land was damaged considerably by
last weeks winter storm.
Mr.. McKeldin stressed in a for
NAL statement that sin determin-
ing such a study, I want it clearly
understood that this is not fault
finding. but fact-finding.
May Need More Money.
"It may be that the expenditure
Of an additional 81 million to $4
million may prove needed to in
sure the stability of the struc-
ture."
The investigation will be made
by leading engineers and contrac-
tors after consultation with the
next Chief engineer of the State
Roads Commission, whom I desig-
nate" the Governor-elect said.
Mr. McKeldin also is concerned
about the steel situation, in light
of developments in Korea. He
said it is a question as to whether
demand for steel may grow so
great as to make it impossible to
obtain enough to finish the span.
Bond Retirement.
He said $40 million in bonds
would have to be paid off as they
mature, even If the bridge Is not
completed. The bonds are to be
paid off from toll receipts of the
Bay bridge and the Potomac and
Susquehanna spans.
Engineers estimated that the
storm did $500,00 to 81 million
damage. Mr.. McKeldin said he
was told by lone of the finest en-
gineers," it would be more. One
of the shallow water supports at
the Sandy Point end was swept
away and the causeway built out
from the Eastern shore was dam
aged by pounding waves.
The j. E. Greiner Co., Baltimore
engineering firm which drew up
the working plans for the bridge
project, is preparing 8 report on
