Below Wally Berger, big sln“er, has fun even when hc misses one. This is the second of a series’' of articles in which major league managers give the outlook of their clubs for the coming season. By BILL McKECHNIE (Manager, Boston Braves) ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 17—I am very hopeful for much | better things for the Braves during me coming season. For one thing, 'T have room for hope. But seri- ously I honestly believe I have a better club than last year. Art Shires, I have every confi- | dence, will .strengthen us at first base. He has learned his lesson, I am certain. Everybody knows he has plenty of natural ability, par- ticularly as a hitter, and hitting is our greatest need Others In Lineup However, Shires is not the only newcomer ‘from whom we expect added infield strength during 1932 Av third base I feel I have every right to look for help from Fritz Knothe. Knothe last year with Seattle made the all-star Pacific Coast league team. He is a fine, fast fielder and a goood hitter, and he comes to us with a lot of ex- perience. Bill Akers, obtained from Kansas City, will get the call at second base. He is a colorful player with high promise. ‘These plans, of course, mean that we will have a new infield of young players—always a gamble. How- ever, we have Rabbit Maranville, a wise veteran of years of experi- ence, to all balance, and we feel that the infield gamble must be taken. Oscar Ecknardt, purchased by the Braves from the San Francisco Missions, shows rare promise. In the coast league last season he hit ] .365 .and he is one of the fastest men in baseball. I understand there was some merriment when we drafted “Huck” Betts from St. Paul, but I predict there won't be any laughing when he is seen performing for us next | summer. He has uncanny control, and the fact that he has got some- thing was demonstrated when he starred in the American association | in 1931 and also in the series.” “little world Our pitching. staff, most every- | 39" one agrees, last year would have landed us in the first division with any hitting behind it. have rectified the hitting situation, and we are going out hard for a berth among the upper four. Another thing, T firmly believe that Wes Schulmerich will be a tower of strength for us this year. Mark this: Wes is going to be a big league star. Mrs. Frank Dufresne gets a Free Trip ~ Leader Dept.

Although these stories were dig- nified to the extent that the gov- ernment placed a 24-hour guafd at his cell, authorities said Capone was allowed to see no visitors with the slightest gangland connection.
