end Cleveland has moved into a trouble making Detroit spectacular pitching staff makes it a con Joe Boston red i am very Well satisfied with the Spring conditioning work of the red sox and feel sure we will be Able to make it the close Pennant race which so Many baseball men look having been out of Ball All last i would hesitate to size up this years pen Nant having seen very Little or nothing of some of the it is dangerous making predictions because of the effect injuries can Lou Cleveland the indians will finish one two this give me one More Good Pitcher and it could be the 1 spot for were a very much improved Ball Steve Detroit i think the tigers can win going to see a close Ted Chicago White i predict our club will finish no lower than fifth with an outside Chance to finish higher if the pitch ing holds with Fred Bradley and Bill Wight coming through As in where shortages of almost everything plague the Good the visitor find himself surprisingly Well treated and Well at this is True in the great City of cookery in the Netherlands is of a High order and although fish is one of the Staples of their the dutch have Many other culinary processes that can be tried at Here is a typical Michele meat stewed veal Steak what you need 1 veal Steak 1 cup water 2 Tablespoons juice of two butter Lemons 1 Large Nutmeg sliced Salt and Pepper 5 Tablespoons butter 2 Large sliced 3 Tablespoons but Ter additional Teaspoon Nutmeg but in order for that to happen weve got to get the we Ere starting out with two rookies gymnasium to do most All of his Glove work in the former Champion weighs about 163 pounds and real izes he can reduce to the required weight very Connie Berry and Johnny a lot depends on Dick Wake Fjeld and whether he comes i think the teams to beat Are new York and Cleveland has a Fine in fact it could be a five team fight jackies up to his old tricks Ted Lyons likes his Chison chances expected and with Tony Lupien to handle first we look a lot we have the Best catching staff in the major leagues in Aaron Mike Tresh and Ralph Wei Ive never seen a Rookie Catcher look More impressive than Weigel has this Jackie Robinson slides across the Plale after a steal of Home in an exhibition game Between the Brooklyn dodgers and Baltimore 1ete Reiser is the Roan with the Zack Louis aside from the conclusion that new Cleveland and Detroit Are the probable first division i have no convict i least of All do i want to i comment on the probable finish of the i have been out of the american league for a full year and its going to take me a Little time to get a line on the other were hopeful because we havea lot of Good youngsters who can Hustle and look As if they can National league Leo Brooklyn Brooklyn stole the Pennant last Vear on running Speed and ability to take the extra As i see weve added to our scope in that the giants Power and an improved Boston team Are definite but i still figure Louis is the team to beat be cause it has the Best first string lineup the Brooklyn had the youngest team in the league last year and it is Only a fair As sumption that we have improved As much Over 1947 As we did in 1947 Over Eddie Louis i look for the scrambling est race the National league Ever Brooklyn is still the Champion and still looks like the team to my club is but it must be to because the whole league is Why Are we stronger mainly because Welt have better because Stan Musial and Erv Dusak Are in Fine physical condition this and because Howie pollets pitching Arm is sound Billy Boston were better where we need weve got two powerful hitting outfielders in Jeff Heath and Jim Russell and i think we have a great double play combination in Alvin dark at shortstop and Eddie Stanky at second were Hope ing a lot on pitchers Johnny j Beazley and Ernie White making and we had i a couple of 20game Guys last year in Warren Spahn and Johnny i think Well be right up Bill Pittsburgh my Hunch is that our pitching is going to Surprise the we wont finish As Low As some of the predictions i have the pirates have delighted me with their Hustle and Dixie Walker is going to be a great kelp for us and so Are the other former of dont for get we still have Ralph Kiner swinging his big Home run Bat for our what i saw of the giants convinced me they will be danger Ous if they can get reasonably Good but the cardinals we have Mel new York the cards Are the team to will have to show superiority Over the i see a tight race among four with Breaks and injuries playing a big the giants must show steadier pitching than we had last year and i look for Sheldon Jones and Ray Poat to give us improved pitching behind Larry Jansen and Dave Johnny Cincinnati our team certainly is improved Over that of 1947 in practically All if we do not improve our final standing it will be because the other teams also have the four teams which finished ahead of us last year All Are sound j teams and will be difficult to Dis Lodge from the first but i am much encouraged about our prospects of having Good and our hitting and general defense j seemingly have improved enough to make the reds a Factor in the j 1948 j Charley Chicago j were going along with our Young Hal Bob j Roy Clarence Al j Walker and Henry h they come through we might have Chance for the first division with i them it May mean that Well be j sacrificing some victories Here
