March 6.— #)—With a new manager and a new taptain the Boston Braves are starting out with high hopes of im- proving their seventh place position of last year in the National league, the Redskins are cheered, too, by | the presence of a shortstop they did | not have in the training camp last | spring. | The addition of Rogers at second base has encouraged Man- | ager Jack Slattery, promoted from seout to manager, as he starts his first season as head of _a major feague club. With Eddie Farrell to work with the former St. Louis man- ager and Giant captain, Slattery thinks he will be able to show a tight defense at second and short. Zach Taylor Returns With these exceptions and a num- ber of pitching recruits, the crop of | athletes is the same this year that) * was last Zach. Taylor returns from the; Giants to attempt to catch a major- | ity of the games, about 125 if he ‘scapes injury, and Eddie Moore, | young in years but a veteran play-| tr, seems definitely assigned to an outfield post after playing in and| sut of the infield. -Burrus will again; play first and Andy High seems to strong competition during the first | cago nave the call at third. Hornsby at iday, with many organizations of | pl second and Farrell at short are set Timmy Cooney and Walter Ga treau, baseball's smallest exhib will take care of emergency assign- ments. Moore, the handy man, Ed Brown, who plays day in and day out, and Lance Richbourg. the Florida flash, may make up the outfield combina- tion with Jack Smith subject to call. Another place will be reserved on the bench for either John McNamara or Earl Clark, the latter only 20 rears of age and regarded as a defi- site comer, now or later. Strong on Pitchers The pitching candidates have shown enough to draw smiles from ihe dignified Slattery and reserved Hornsby. The optimists will grow © a decided majority if Johnny Seoney’s continued tests of his arm thow that it is well again.
