I 0 — —— 0 Today 1 s Sport Parade | By Oscar Fraley I (Reo. U. 8. Pat. Off.) • 0 — O New York. May 27 (CPI — Admitting that th- Chicago Cubs aren't going anywhere this year, manager Charley Grimm today tabbed Cincinnati's Virgil Stallcup. the Phillies' Richie Auburn and his own Hal Jeffcoat as the three most promising rookies of the 194 k campaign. And Jolly Cholly. still his ‘ amiable seif despite the acepted fact that he'll finish in the second, division. Intimated that he wouldn't take both the other two for the surprising Jeffcoat. The burly, former paratrooper Is. the reason for ('holly's continued iheerfulness In baseball it is an ant lent axiom that yr»u have to be! strong through the middle: catching. pitching, the second baseshortstop combine and in center field Jeffcoat, he figures, rounds out such a raw product which time and experience will fashion into a pennant winner. Only in the catching department, where Grimm has Rob Schefflng and Clyde McCullough, are the Cubs steady enough for contention : But they are building up the mid- ; die with young pitchers: rookies Roy Smalley and Henry Schenz at short and second respectively — and Jeffcoat In center. The bnr>ad-shouldered, handsome Jeffcoat was the surprise package. They put him in center during spring training for a quick t look and haven't been able to get' him out. This despite the fact that! he had played only two years in , he minors. Nashville signed the fleet, hardhitting outfielder for 82.5<M) at a tryout camp two years ago. He played one season at Shelby. Mont.. a»l then hit .346 for Nashville in 1947. So it was up to the Cubs few a visit which became a lengthy stay "Ils qsn hit, run and ha* an amazing arm." Grimm chuckled “He'll be a whale of a ball player before he's through. Ashburn I* being touted as the fastest thing in spikes. Well, he might break a bit faster than Hal but Jeffcoat will match him once he gets up steam." Hal's where he wants to be. in the outfield, even though three of his older brothers pitched in the majors Hal's father wanted him to pitch, too, but he rebelled "Not for any particular reason.' be explained, "it's just thst it everybody in the family plays the piano, you don't feel like banging the key*, too." Making the major league grade at 23 hasn't affected this young man who has seen *o much. He give* it all he* got on the fiek and then relaxe* by amuaing hie mates with more bill billy tuner than there are in the re|iertolr< of Burl Ive*.
