Schoonmaker's Start Gives

Leading Fight

Star Stan Correspondent

ORLANDO, Fla, Mar. 49,
Jerry Shoemaker. strictly an
outsider a week ago in a scrap
for the Senators wide-open CEN
terfield job, suddenly has be-
come the leading candidate for
the berth with impressive hitting
in early exhibitions.
Centerf1eld has been regarded
as the spot most desperately in

was expected from him. His only
pro experience consists of 20
games with the Senators in 1855,
when he batted .152, but as a
bonus player he must be retained
by the club this year and Man
ager Chuck Dresser has been
using him to determine his value.
Dresser Elated
The 23-year- old righthanded
hitter may be invaluable if he
keeps rolling. The Senator's

trade propositions calculated to

but Dresser is elated over his
chances. I'm doggoned tickled
with the way he's been looking"
Chuck said. He can unload
some power, he's got a good arm
and he covers some ground. He's
showing me plenty"
Meanwhile. Karl Olson and
Whitley HerZog, who were slated
to share the assignment, have
been displaying no improvement.
Neither has fashioned a hit, with
Herzog getting the collar in 10
tries and Olson hitless in five
attempts. Admittedly those are
brief tests, but there was no
encouragement from either Of
them in earlier squad games.

today he expected to confer soon
with the Cincinnati Redlegs, who
are seeking an established third

Smith said he would trade

"All I know is that Cincin-
