It's a long, long time. as the
song would say. from now to the
end of September, and playing
prophet can be risky. But The
Sporting News. following an an
nual custom, comes up in its cur
rent issue with its candidates for
Rookie of the Year in the major
leagues. The selections were made
through a poll of The Sporting
correspondents who covered the
l6 teams in spring training. These
are the men who would seem the
best qualified to judge.
The selections may not be a
surprise, because much has been
said and written this spring a
bout the men chosen. Pitcher
Herb Score of the Cleveland In
GianS and Third Baseman Ken
Boyer of the st. Louis Cardinals
are the nominees.
1t wasn't easy this year to
make the nominations. AS The
Sporting News points out. rosters
of both leagues bulge with pro-
missing prospects. Seldom in re-
cent years have the fans had
such solid reason to believe that

Bill In Raleigh To Change Split
Voting Procedure Aimed At Jonas

RALEIGH - Up in the Ninth
and Tenth Congressional districts
last year, Republican candidates
w. E. (BilN Stevens and Charles
R. Jonas made strong bids for
votes from the Democratic side of
the fence. One of the things they
stressed was how easy it is to vote
a split ticket.
Probably. no candidate will be
able to stress the ease of split
ticket voting again. The General
Assembly is moving to plug up that
leak in the Democratic dam.
The Senate Committee on Elec-
ton Laws and Senatorial Districts
stamped its approval Friday on a
measure the Democrats hope will
alleviate some of the appeals for
voters to cross party lines.
MORE TROUBLESOME
The bill. introduced by Sen.
David NJ. Hall of Jackson and re-
written by the committee on Elec-
tion Laws to carry out Senator
Halls intentions in other language
would make it bit more trouble

SCORE, BOYER TOPS
Classy Field Of Rockies In
Major Loops For IS Season

many newcomers will figure in
the pennant races. It's entirely
possible. says The Sporting News,
that while reporters this spring
were writing glowing pieces a
bout some youngsters, others of
future brilliance were passed by
with little notice. Take the case
of Lou Boudreau, one of the
greatest shortStops in the history
of the game. He couldn't stay with
the Indians when he reported in
1889. He was third baSeman at
the time. and the Indians had
Ken Keltner.
The Indians have a pitching
staff loaded with talent. Yet even
in that company Herb Score
made a lasting impression this
spring. although a succession of
injuries limited his assignments.
When he did pitch. he demon
strated why he won % games and
lost only five with Indianapolis
last year, and why he won both
Rookie and Most Valuable Play
Ell awards in the American As
soclation. He is fast, and his curve
ball has impressed such a good
judge as Mel Harder. General
Manager Hank Greenberg of the
Indians predicts that Score will
compile more strikeoutS than fire
throwing Bob Turley. AS things
look now, says The Sporting News.
Score may be the answer to Gle
Veland'S Seven-year search for
starting lefthander.
Now let's look over Boyer, The
Sporting News nominee for Rookie
of the Year in the National Lea
que. If he can live up to predic-
tions, he'll give the Cardinals
their second straight rookie prize.
Wally Moon was the winner in
1854
Boyer can run, he can field, he
can hit. He showed that a Hous-
ton last year and he showed it
in spring training. HouSton's Gen:
eral Manager Art Routzong called
Boyer the best prospect he has
seen in II years in baseball.
There's not a single IF" Rout-
gong added. "about his physical
ability and his positive attitude" :"
Cardinal Manager Eddie Stanky
had this to say: Hes not color
full, but he's deadly efficient, and
with no apparent weakness"
Many others got consideration
in The Sporting News poll. Men
like Elston Howard of the YAM
KEGS, Catcher Hal Smith of the
Orioles, First Baseman Norm
Zauchin and Catcher Pete Daley
on the Red SoX, Shortstop Chico
Fernandez of the Dodgers, Pitch
er Bob Tiefenauer and Outfield-
er Bill Virdon of the Cardinals.
These are just a few of those
named. But, as the final choice,
the writing experts gambled on
Score and Boyer.

the way down the line. There is
one candidate on the Republican
side he wants to vote for. Then he
can put his X in the party circle
at the top of the Democratic COL
umn and another x beside the
name of the lone Republican he
likes. His ballot counts for all
Democrats but the one running
against that Republican. and his
vote there counts for the Repubh-
can.
Or, if he has several candidates
on each side. the voter may ignore
the party circle and put his X be-
side the name of each candidate
he is supporting.
That is the long way of voting
split ticket. Under the Hall bill.
it would become the only way to
do it in the future.
Halls proposal. as approved by
the committee, is that a ballot
marked in the party circle will
count as vote for all the party's
candidates. If a voter marks the
Democratic circle and then marks
the names of one or two Republi-
can candidates, his vote still will
count for the Democrats. 1t won't
