The stars and stripes Page 21 by Ben Abrams staff writer Wiesbaden is Tom Johnson Shook hit Imam. ,.- 3 i be been sitting Here Ponder ing the Germany division base Ball picture and things really look interesting to a newcomer Johnson head coach of the wies with flyers . Rve been following All the stories on the various teams an nil can say is if everybody who says his team will be on top is we should have one hell of a Slavoff to determine what teams will represent the conference in the Safe thought we had a pretty Good club Here at Wiesbaden but after Reading what the other Guys Are saying i really Don know what to think. I guess All ponders sees interesting race a we can do is wait til the smoke clears and see who is there Johnson added. Johnson takes Over for Han Dearmas As Wiesbaden Mentor. It is his first assignment As head coach but he has played and served As assistant coach for better than 10 years. I Don t feel we have any on Pitcher who stands head and shoulders above the Field John son appraised his Mound staff. However we do have five chorale As pretty fair country these include righthand Estex Harris Jack Wilson Bryan Brown and Bob Parker an Southpaw Chuck Johnson. They All got Good look overs during exhibition play and Johnson is satisfied that they can do the Job. Carl Spain and Dusty Rhode give the flyers catching strength. Spain has the stronger Arm and Rhodes might have a slight advantage in handling pitchers. Both hit with authority Johnson and Dave Credo have been seeing considerable action at first base with Crede shifting to the Outfield to take advantage of his hitting prowess when the former plays at Smith and Ray Contreras a former Florida state infielder have been splitting the second base duties and Duk Dukart is available for any assignment in the infield. Larr Smalley who played at Sembach last year has been the starting shortstop on the strength of a Good Glove and solid batting and Johnson feels he has the out standing third baseman in the league in Bill of the other coaches in the league have been claiming that they have the outstanding third baseman in the league but if they Are belter than Bennett it s going to be a Good year a third base Johnson said. Depth is the big word in the flyer Outfield. When Crede is out there Johnson has six Good Fly chasers available. The others in clude Leroy Weddington Mark Metz Joe fimple Paul Kosko and Willie Spillers. Spillers i nursing an injured hand right now but Johnson expects Zimback in action shortly. I feel this Outfield will pro veto be the toughest in the league this year Johnson said. These boys can really go got of him Andall of them have Good Strong arms. I think defense will be our Strong suit As the season progresses. We re going to get som runs every game on the opponents mistakes and i think our pitching and defense will make them stand up for Don t feel i can make an outright prediction concerning who will win the title because i m new to the league but Idon t anticipate a Complete run away by anyone and no Ither Doi feel that any one club will be very bad this , like i said earlier it looks like one hell of a playoff will be needed to determine the Ger Many teams in Safe this year Johnson concluded.
