ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Mar.
24.-"We got Vic Raschi because
we know he can beat Brooklyn"
Those were practically the
first words uttered by Manager
Eddie Stanky when the Car
dinals obtained the star right
handed pitcher from the YAM
KEGS last month.
Thus in one short sentence
Stanky revealed what had been
ranking ip his mind all win
ter. Those IL words spoke VOL
umes. for Stanky still hasn't
quite gotten over the IL consec-
utive defeats suffered by his
Redbirds at Ebbets Field last
season The fiery little man
ager, next to winning the pen
nant, likes nothing better than
to wallop his one-time Brooklyn
mates.
The Cards need some one to
beat the Dodgers and Raschi has
shown that he can. The former
Yankee has whipped Brooklyn
three times in World Series COM
petition. His two losses to the
Dodgers were by 10 and 3-2
scores. With Raschi, Gerry Sta
ley. Harvey Haddix. Joe PreSko
and Tom Poholsky to show the
way, Stanky feels he has enough
pitching to cut deeply into the
22-game bulge the Dodgers had
over the Cardinals in 1858.
Won't Predict Finish.
Brooklyn is the team to beat"
Stanky declared. mo doubt
about it. You've always got to
respect the champion, but you
can't underestimate Milwaukee.
The Braves have a strong lineup
and plenty of pitching depth"
Stanky refused to be prodded
into predicting where he thought
the Cardinals would finish. but
he left no doubt that he believed
his club was greatly improved
over last year.
With the additions we have
made through purchases and
help from our farm clubs" he
declared. I'D say we have i'm
proved our club at least Is per
cent. Whether that's enough
to overhaul the two clubs
Brooklyn and Milwaukee, that
in front of us last year,
I just don't know"
Since last September. the
Cards have gone on a buying
binge that Melted such expensive
chattels as Shortstop Alex
Grammas ($100,00O), First Base

may not be able to decide until
opening day."
The team again will revolve
around the three great stars
Stan Musial, Enos Slaughter
and Red Schoendienst.
Musial, usually a slow starter,
has been a destructive batter
this spring, indicating he has
aims at batting title No. 7. He
finished strong last year to COL
lect 200 hits and boosted his av-
erage to 1897.
Schoendienst had his best sea-
son IN 1853. His .342 mark was
only two points behind Carl Flu
rillo, the batting champion.
Slaughter still refuses to be
his age (38). He is leading the
club in hitting in exhibition
games.
Musial in left, Slaughter in
right and Rip Repulski in center
make up the regular outf1eld.
Moon and Burgess, up from
Rochester, are making strong
bids for outfield berths. Veteran
Peanuts Lowrey and Rookie Joe
Frazier from Oklahoma City will
serve as pinch hitterS. Ray ia
blonski, who swatted 81 homers
and drove in 112 runs in an out
standing rookie season. is a fix
ture at third base despite his un-
steadiness in the field. Del Rice,
a solid receiver, may get some
breathing spells from Rand and
Sal WARS.
Fourth Starter Needed.
Haddix, who contributed
greatly last year with his 20-9
record. and Staley, a standout
handler $3.50, are definite
starters along with RaSchi. -
That leaves Stanky to pick a
fourth starter and bolster his
bullpen staff.
Poholsky, fresh out of the
Army, and Presko, who had a
6-13 record last year, have been
impressive. Stu Miller G-8,
the rookie flash of 1852, has been
in and out. Southpaw Alpha
Brazle, the chief fireman of last
year. will be the No. reliefer.
Hal White (6-5). and Ellis
Deal, who had a 1919 mark with
Rochester. will handle most of
the right-handed relief work.
Southpaw Royce Lint (22-10) at
Portland and Right-handers Jim
Walsh, 1879 at Hollywood, and
Bob Tiefenauer, 9-3 at Roches-
ter, have a chance to stick.
Eddie Yuhas, a 1872 relief artist
in SO who was out all last year
with a sore arm, is still a big
question mark.

Quarterback Eddie LeBaron's
decision not to return to the
Redskins, announced yesterday
by the club, probably means AL
Dorow will get a shot at the job
instead of moving to left half
back, as planned.
LeBaron is expected to sign
with the Calgary Stampeders
of the Canadian League. where
he'll play for Larry Siemering,
the Redskins line coach last
season and Eddie's mentor at
College of Pacific. His departure.
plus Larry Isbell's decision to
play in Canada rather than join
the Redskins, leaves the WASH
ington eleven with Jack Scar
bath, a one-year veteran, and
the untried Dorow to man the
position.
Coach Curly Lambeau, who
was not one Of LeBaron's
strongest admirers, is smitten
with Dorow's possibilities. The
former Michigan State star,
who expects to be discharged
from the Air Force in July, used
his leave last summer to train
with the Redskins in California
and is fairly familiar with their
system. He is a lieutenant.
Lambeau, however, liked the
idea of using Dorow's speed and
passing ability from a halfback
position to lend some deception
to the attack. 1t would give the
Redskins double barreled pass
ing threat and, with speedy Billy
Wells of Michigan State joining
the club, help open up the Of
tense.
But it is no secret that Dorow
prefers to play quarterback and
the departure of his good friend
LeBaron seems to be a break for

[In New Diet

A new reducing diet which

proved itself successful with q

dieter who complains Of con-
slant hunger can satisfy his
appetite with q variety Of high
quality snacks at any time be-

The snacks may consist Of

bled ''by q tendency to cheat
just q little bit on his diet"
This cheating leads In
evitably to the failure Of the
diet regime" he says. But II
the cheating is INDUCED by al
lowing the dieter to eat SUBJ

ally concluded successfully.
A typical snack suggested by
