There is a a spark in camp you can't miss, Lven the continued absence of Art Shires, who it appears might be permanently absent, has failed to diminish their enthusiasm. The players, to a man, believe they are headed for the first division, “and Bush is not the kind of fellow to tell them differently “We've a fine looking bunch of voungsters,” said Donic. “It's too carly to do any prédicting, but I| believe the boys are going to play | some great baseball for me.

Irvin Jeftries, a grinning yvouth | from Dallas, and Ernie Smith, up | from Birmingham, are scrapping it | out with Bill Hunnefield, a hold- over, with no decision yet in sight. Both Jeffries and Smith hit over 00 with champlonship clubs' last year and one of them likely will get the nod, with Hunnefield again booked for the utility role.
