Posen Nee. sanenoe 6 * RAYNOR CONFIDENT HERMAN, BISH AND WEAVER WILL STAR Sees Big Season, Bright Future for Salveston, Ex-Giant Righthander WEAKNESS AT SECOND BASE Infield Includes Gus Suhr at First, Vaughan at Short, Traynor at Third Yee Oe By ERSKINE JOHNSON (NEA Service Staff Correspondent) San Bernardino, Calif., March 26. —Three former Cubs, a pair of young- asters, an ex Giant, and an inspired redhead this year may lead Pitts- burgh’s Pirates to their first Nation- al League pennant since 1927. That's the opinion of Pie Traynor, ‘who took command of the Bucs last summer when George Gibson was forced to walk the plank after his crew practically gave up the ship. “There are a flock of if’s connect- ed to that opinion, however,” Tray- nor said, as he halted a three-hour drill and sent 28 athletes scurrying to the showers of the Pirates’ train- ing camp here. “But,” added Tray- nor, “even if all my dreams don't ome true, we are set this season to put up @ whale of a fight.” Later, in a steam bath, Traynor ‘warmed up to the subject of his team’s chances. And it wasn't just: the heat which put him into such an optimistic mood. The husky third baseman really ts one excited guy. He probably ‘would get steamed up about the team if he were perched atop the North Pole with an ice cube in each shoe. “Our winter deal with the Cubs strengthened the team considerably,” he reflects. The Pirates acquired . Pitchers Guy Bush and Jim Weaver and Outfielder Babe Herman in ex- change for Pitcher Larry French and Fly Chaser Freddy Lindstrom. “Between ’em,” Pie points out, “Bush and Weaver won 29 games last year, while our French was winning 12. So, on paper, at least, we're 17 games to the good. “Babe Herman may regain his one- time form with us this year. He's a real base hitter, and always has hit well in our park at Pittsburgh, where ‘we will play 77 games this season, Outfield Lists to Port Acquisition of Herman, who will guard left field, puts three left-hand- ed hitters in the Buc garden. Paul Waner, league leading hitter, again will be in right field, with brother Lioyd in center. Utility Man Forrest Jensen also is a portsider. Big Jim Weaver, the former Cub and the Primo Carnera of baseball, who stands 6'2 feet and weighs 230 pounds, is showing plenty of stuff in} practice here, and, like Herman and Bush, likes the idea of turning Pirate.; ‘The pair of youngsters upon whom | Manager Traynor is counting are pitchers who led their respective Jeagues last year in strikeouts. Dar- rel] Blanton, who was with the Bucs at the tail-end of last season, won 11 and lost 9 for Albany in the In- ternational League. Mace Brown, up from Tulsa and Kansas City, won 19 and lost 14. Both are righthanders. The ex-Giant is Pitcher Johnny Salveson, who divided his time last season between Bill Terry's crew and Montreal, winning 14 and losing 5. ‘Traynor thinks this 21-year-old right-| hander may become a big star. Charley “Red” Lucas is the inspir- ed redhead who may go to town with| the Pirates this year. A regular with the squad last season, “Red” wasn't so hot, winning 10 and losing 9. But 4o far in spring training he has shown a world of improvement. “Lueas has shown me more in one day here than he did all last year,” Traynor says. Rookie Catcher on Relief Rookie pitchers working out with the Pirates here include Lloyd John- son and Wayne Osberne, left-handers, both up from the Missions of the Pa- cific Coast League. It’s doubtful whether they will stick. ___ Regulars last season on the pitch-) “ing staff who were held over include “Ralph Birkofer, Waite Hoyt, Harold Smith, and Bill Swift. Backstopping duties again will rest +upon the shoulders of Tommy Pad- den and Bob Grace, both regulars last year. Aubrey Epps, up from Birmingham with an impressive .301 batting average, is the newcomer to this department, and he should make the grade in a relief spot. The only weakness in the Pirate Veterans Gus Suhr at first, Tray- . hor at third, and Arky Vaughan at complete the team.

Tonic to Forget j His war-whoops, along with natur- al aggressiveness afield and at bat, seem to be just the tonic the New Yorkers need to make them forget the debacle of 1934. His a surprisingly belligerent mood. Bartell unquestionably is like a new mainspring for the club, fitting in beautifully with the veteran Travis Jackson, Hughey Critz and Terry around the infield, Terry has solved the centerfield problem by getting George Davis back from the Phillies to share the job with broad-shouldered Hank Leiber. Pitching Corps Intact He has his celebrated pitching “big four” intact, whereas Roy (Tar- zan) Parmalee was on the shelf with appendicitis for the first two months of last season. Gus Mancuso, top Sergeant of the battery department, is another 1934 invalid who can be depended on from the outset. Finally, the development of Clydell Castleman, young righthander, and the addition of two seasoned relief men, Leon Chagnon and Allyn Stout, give the club the pitching insurance it needs for all emergencies.

This race is a sort of equ- ine Indianapolis Speedway race, in which horse and jockey risk their lives over a grueling four and one- half mile course, with 29 jumps rang- ing up to almost six feet. Possibly no race in the world has the far-flung appeal for sportsmen as the Grand National.
