Since Harry Jenkins, head of the
Boston Braves Farm System, did not
show up at the Myrtle Beach Train
ing Camp until Friday afternoon
with the Hagerstown squad sched-
uled to break camp on Saturday
morning., manager Dutch Dorman
did not have much of an opportunity
to talk with him about the replace
ments he will need to make the Ha-
gertowsn team a pennant contender.
Dutch tells me, however, that
jenkins has promised to send him an
experienced catcher and also init
mated that Lou Tufano will join the
squad when the Hartford Club comes
here over the week end for pair
of games.
Dutch also told me that there is a
good possibility that we may get Jim
linn, either when the Hartford team
comes here, or when they are forced
to cut their team to the league limit
some 20 days after the season opens.
Dutch, of course, does not have to
cut his squad to the 17-player limit
until late in May, which will give
him chance to get good look at all
his players in league competition
AS the squad now stands, the
pitching looks exceptionally good
and if we get strength through the
middle, which could come with an
experienced catcher and Tufano in
the center field (Tommy Lind is
very much improved shortstop), we
should stack up with any club in the
league.
Here is the roster of the 1851 club
as of this date:
Catchers Fitzgerald,a rookie
from Boston College, and Arnold
Hersom, who was inactive most of
last year
The Infield-Billy Smith will be
at first base and he should fill the
bill. He fields his position well and
gets his share of base knocks. Lloyd
Freund will take over second base
(for the time being at least). Tommy
Lind, Of course, will be at short. Joe
Roddin, the third baseman, should
be able to take good care of the hot
corner, providing he gets himself
into condition, but if he does not
come through Dutch can always fall
back on Ray Bortz, his utility in
fielder, who can give a good account
of himself at either second, short or
third.
The 0utfield - Pete Perrin. who
needs no introduction, will be in
right field, and if Tufano comes
back he will take over the center
field spot, with Frank Neri and Oh
and Canterna battling it out for the
leftfeld position
Pitchers-Andy Bush and Charley
Miller both have proven records;
Bill Allen has shown lot of i'm
provement since last year; Gerry
Levinson and Bud Niles are two
rockies who show real promise; Carl
Hrovatic, who in addition to his
pitching is an excellent outfelder,
and Don Wiederecht, the only left
handler on the squad, who went on
the inactive list last year after APP
pearing in few games. He looked
particularly good, however, in spring
training.
The team was scheduled to play
Albany yesterday afternoon and they
will play them again tonight, game
time being scheduled for 8:15. So I
