McKNIGIIT ANTONIO, T Browns ha April 7 been in an annual statement, that, but 1y bespectacled William O. DeWitt, vice-president of the base- ment Brownies, puts it, you stop and listen “Why can’t we hit the first di- on?" queries DeWitt, “The an- s easy—a defeatist attitude has had the club.’ And what kind of a ijemedy do the Browns have for such an ugly attitude? “Last fall we decided to follow one of two policies. Our first im- pulse was to tear down the whole club and start all over with young- sters. Then there was the idea we could maneuver around and get some seasoned ballplayers to plug our weak spots. We knew we had players other clubs wanted —-players that just couldn’t perform in a Brown uni- form. We knew they were in de- mand and felt we could shop around and get seasoned players in return. We decided to sell no players for cash just to keep things going We started trading and buying — getting players who were accustomed to winning. “Where we formerly had a bunch of men who went out each after- noon with the thought of holding down the scote, we feel we now have winners—which is a strange thing to us.” the s Winning Pitchers DeWitt then plunged into the pitching staff—a little matter the| fans have long felt was a trifle more responsible for Brownie lapses than attitudes. “Look at Buck Newsom, Jim Weaver, Ed Linke, —some of our new blood. They're winners and know they can win. The players have the same idea.| Two holdovers from our last year’s | last place club, Oral Hildebrand and Jack Knott, are good pitchers. They did well last season but got few runs to back up their efforts. “Six new faces will be in the starting lineup this year. Of 40| players now in training camp, only | 12 were here last year. We're get-| ting rid of the gentlemen who lose | ball games in their minds before the first batter is up.” | A peek at the training camp, where Gabby Street, the baseball | veteran of 38 years is starting his | first year as St. Louis manager, almest makes you believe DeWitt has something. Stock Goes Up No grumbling, just a lot of hus- tle. Morning workouts are sched- uled for 10 o'clock. The squad is| always suited out and on the field | by 9:30. | “Street, of course, is highly en-| thusiastic,” said DeWitt. “He's a man who has won two National league pennants and a World Series.

It the ball club, down to $3.50. we got busy in the winter started weeding out the old and gettifig some ball-players on the line, stock shot back up to $5.25 per share.” Perhaps DeWitt, who works on the mental side, has something in this “attitudes” idea.

This seems to be the case with all those found since 1930. The fascination of geological sidebines has lured many a pros- peetor from gold and silver. Take Charles D. Dors who works out of Lovelock, Nev., where he has made and lost two fortunes in gold.

Given a few breaks Boston may push its nose right up to the top. The infield is set with Foxx, Bobby Doerr, Cronin and Pinky Higgins. Doerr, the 20-year-old flash from the far west, saw some action last year and Joe thinks he's ready to go to town now. With Joe Vosmik, bartered from the Browns, Ben Chapman and Roger Cramer, Boston has a crack outfield. And a line of rookie rein- forcements is ready to move into the first row trenches.
