| REDS, YANKS AS WINNERS 1 ’ A.P. Sportsfitor Graham Dick Barrett Ges Credit for| Gives Reasons for 41 Pennant Selections By DILLON GRAHAM Sports Editer, AP Feature Service NEW YORK, April 10.—Habits are hard to break and so, for the third straight year, this sun-tanned correspondent selects the Reds and §{ the Yankees to win the major “Jeague baseball pennants. { That’s our say-so, after a month of squinting into the sun watching ball players cavort around the spring camps in Florida and Cuba. The rattle of the rhumba bands beating the Brooklyn ballyhoo at Havana and the confident spirit of a now harmonious (peace, it’s won- sderful!) Tribe of Indians is still { fresh in our memory. But . . . we'll ystring along with the Reds and Yanks. Here's how we rate the teams® ! National Reds, Dodgers, Cardinals, Giants, Cubs, Pirates, Bees, Phillies American Yankees, Indians, Tigers, Red Sox, White Sox, Browns, Scnators . |, Athletics | ! Take the Reds. Who's going to beat them? No rival can match| their pitching or fielding. Lom-| bardi's sore ankle may slow him| up but who ever accused Ernie| | of running, anyway? If Derringer| ! slips a bit Thompson can take his | place as Walters' twin. Outfield| Jim Gleeson, a .313 hitter, should, help and Pitcher Monte Pearson is a eeper” who may wake up | 4in time to win 15 or so games. | The Reds won 41 games last | 4 year by one run. Perhaps that' | was a strain on the pitchers : and perhaps it was partly luck | —but it all adds up to good | pitching and tight defense. | Brooklyn's Reese- Waner- Reiser -| Medwick-Lavagetto-Camilli array can explode a batch of basehits. But its pitching is too iffy, Reiser ! and Waner are gambles, second| J; base is a problem, and few can get| excited about catcher Mickey Owen.| * Kirby Higbe should be a big win-! ner but it's difficult to discern fac- tual reasons for expecting 20 tri- umphs from Wpyatt, Casey and| ' Hamlin. Fat Fred Fitzsimmons isn't | . going to lead the league again. Given the breaks, St. Louis like Brooklyn, could win. The Cards played the best ball in the league during the last half of 1940. St. Louis has power to burn but its infield is unset- tled and its rookie pitchers, good as they seem to be, have to prove themselves able to aid Warneke, McGee and Shoun. We'll confess to a hunch in picking the Giants fourth. With Jurges playing shortstop regularly they could sneak into the first flight, Without him, they may settle into sixth place again. The Cubs, with better morale and some fine recruits, may be just streng ‘enough to edge in ahead of Frank Frisch’s up-and-coming Pi- rates. The Bees will be much bet- ter but probably won't move out of seventh place. The Phils, alas! are last again. The Yankees, collectively, flcpped last year. Yet they finished only two games out of first place. A rejuvenated pitch- ing corps, a pair of great kids i arcund second base, and good f spring performances by Rolfe and Dickey make us think they'll be in the World Series come September. Cleveland had its chance last year . . . and missed. The Indians | i SEATTLE IS - ARE PICKED . WINNER AS | BATS CLICK | Vidory - Stars Chalk Up First Victory (By Associated Press) | The Seattle Rainiers found their long lost batting eyes yesterday and | pounded out 15 hits that made good for a victory over the Los Angeles Angels to even the third { Pacific Coast League series for a | game apiece. Dick Barrett is credit- ed with his first triumph but he | had to retire after seven innings | because of ‘wildness. Hollywood Wins The Hollywood Stars pounded | four San Diego pitchers yesterday to trounce the Padres and winning their first game of the Wayne Osborne limited the Padres to six hits. Hitting Spree Oakland bested San Francisco in| a hitting spree yesterday in which, | five pitchers saw action. ihe Acorns| | got 11 hits and the Seals 12 hits.

Jim Bagby, Joe -Heving and = Clint | Brown should tone up - Cleveland's pitching, featuring the great Fel- {ler, and Gee Walker's speed and bat should be felt. Detroit has the offensive with its York-Greenberg-Gehringer-Mc- Coskey punch. The pitching, with Newsom booked for 20 again, should be good. Gehringer looks spry and Eric McNair is around to spell Bartell. The Red Sox have power to spare but their defense is spotty and their pitching, as usual, questionable. We believe they’'ll edge out the Chicago White Sox, who should have too much balance for the uprising St. Louls Browns. The Brown- ies, However, may be the most improved team in either league. ‘Washington and Philadelphia have taken on reinforcements but still are slated for the seventh and eighth slots, 1 ——————— BAKERY SALE By Jr. Trinity Guild at Hollmann’s Pharmacy, Sat., ‘April 12, beginning at 10:30 am, adv. —— e are stronger but we figure they'll Empire Classifieds Pay! e season. | who nursed him through his illness | l - DOUGLAS NEWS DOUGLAS WOMEN'S CLUB ELECTS MRS.
