pecting another big season from
Juan Pizzaro, a 14-game winner
last year. Many experts say that
Pizzaro may be the best lefthand-
er in the AL, including Whitley
Ford. Others on the White Sox in
Clude Floyd Robinson, in his sec
ond full season and the Sox' lead
ing batter (.310) last season, and
AL Smith, the veteran outfielder-
infielder and one of the teams
leading run producers in 1861.
Smiths name has popped up in
trade talk.
The Cleveland Indians hope for
a big year in the home run de-
partment from Willie Kirkland,
the young outfielder. Vic Power,
the Indian first baseman, was
traded last week to Minnesota.
Another shot-in-the arm for the
Tribe would be the return of Jim
Grant from the army. Jims IS
victories mine loses) were high
for the club last season. Walt
Bond, the outfielder who has dis
appointed two years, has been re-
leased from the army but his
status is not clear.
Battey To Star
Earl Robinson, one of the most
expensive tan bonus players, might
make it big with the Baltimore
Orioles this season. He has been
stationed in right field and it ap-
pears that the job is his if he de-
hvers. Ossie Virgil, the much
Travelled utility player, is likely to
stick with the Orioles because Of
his versatility.
Earl Battey, who ranks just be-
hind Howard as a catcher, will
open the season behind the plate
for the Minnesota Twins. Battey
had a good season in 1862. As did
Lennie Green, who collected more
hits than any other Twin. He is
slated to start in left field. Zoilo
Versailles, the Cuban shortstop,
might blossom out this season
into one of the best in the game.
The Kansas City Athletics, who
might be a surprise this season,
are counting on Norman Bass, an
11-game winner last year, to be
one of their slab aces. Ed Charles,
acquired from Vancouver of the
Pacific Coast League, probably
will be retained as a utility play
er. He plays both the infield and

The Rattlers (Florida A. & NJ

SO straight relay victories setting
a meet record of 4O.8 in a 44O

The boys from Florida also beat
Texas Southern in the $50 yard
relay. Dash man Bob Hayes, an

the Drake 100 yard dash.
Texas Southern won four other
relays setting three meet records:
the distance medley in 1O:O1.2;
the mile relay in 3:13.9 and the
two mile relay with a time of
1855.
1t was rumored at the Drake

Southern had been participating in
too many meets and had been run
ming too much and were tired. There
are many college track coaches in
the country who could use the

The Detroit center-fielder speak
ing for the five tan Detroit play

President John Fetzers decision
to shift the team to a Lakeland
motel, from a hotel.
The Tigers are moving from the
new Florida Hotel to the Holiday
Motel, a luxury type motel four
blocks from Henley Field.
This is the final step in our
efforts to end all racial barriers
for the Tigers, said Fetzer. 1--WE
now have equal Accommodations for
all our players, both in living quar-
tiers and eating quarters.
This will permit us to remain
in Lakeland for our spring train

would have left their long time

racial barriers had not been re-
moved. Except during world war
II, the Tigers have trained at
Lakeland since 1884.

With Elston Howard established
as basebal's outstanding catcher,
the Yankees cast may include two
other tan players - Hector Lopez
and AL Downing. Howard, enjoy
ing his finest season, batted .348
last season and was rewarded with
a contract for $4,000. He has
been impressive in spring training
and is looking forward to another
banner year.
All of this spells bad news for
the opposition. Lopez, who was
given a full-blown chance as a
Yankees outfielder last year,
seems destined to start the season
on the bench. His name has been
mentioned as possible trading
material. But it's players like
Lopez who give the Yankees that
important reserve strength. Down
ing, southpaw moundsman
brought up late last year, is given
a chance to stick this season.
Another possibility for the New
York pitching corps is Marshall
Bridges, who has hurled in the
National League for the Cincin-
natl Reds and the st. Louis Card
inals.
BrutOn In Key Role
Bill Bruton did not have a real
crackerjack season at the plate
last year for the Detroit Tigers,
but his presence in center field
gave the Bengals one of the
strongest outfields in the majors.
A good season from Bruton and
an improvement from Jake Wood,
the second-year second baseman,
might help the Tigers depose the
Yankees.
Manager Bob Scheffling is
counting on Chico Fernandez to
show topnotch shortstopping this
season. Chico arrived at the Tig-
ers' training camp in Lakeland,
Fla. full of vim, determined to get
off on the right foot. Bubba Nor
ton, a second year outfielder, is
coveted by several other clubs and
he gives the Tigers a fourth out
standing outfielder.
The condition of Sad Sam Jones,
the highlander acquired from
Houston of the National League, is
a question mark. He has a neck
infection, and it may have some
bearing on whether he can deliver
for the Tigers. Jones formerly
pitched for the Chicago Cubs, San
Francisco Giants and st. Louis
Cardinals in the MI.
