PIRATES LOOM " | AS DANGEROUS Pittsburgh Given Excellent Chance To Win National Race New York, Apr. 10 — (U.R) Pirates Manager George Gibson, facing what may be his last majon league season, will make a desper- | ate bid for the .National league pennant. He has an excellent chance to win. Gibson is grooming a strong, dangerous duh which packs more punch than any other outfit in the circuit. This punch, combined with the lively ball, may turn the trick and give Pittsburgh its first pennant since 1927. ■ Were the Pirates better balanced. they would appear certain winners. However, because of a weak spot at second base and no j promise of championship, pitching, : it is doubtful, if they can pound j past the even-keeled Cardinals. ' Hence, the Buccaneers seem desI tined to wjnd up in the same second-place berth they occupied for tin past two seasons. In addition, the morale of th' 1 t < bib may he affected by general - dressing room gossip which has Pie Traynor replacing Gibson as , manager next season if the Pirates | fall. j Spotty pit' nine " M I In' chief , I cause for the Pirates' failure to eorne through last season. It was Iby far the bast hitting club in , the league. Even though the , Waner hoys slumped, the club I ] wound up with a batting average i of .285. nine points above the > Cards. . Attempting to strengthen the mound staff. Gibson made what , may prove a shrewd move during : the off season. He parted with his best hitter, second baseman Tony t Piet, to acquire pitcher Red Lucas • from Cincinnati. The exchange of outfielders Comorosky and Roett- , I ger also figured in the deal. Gib--1 son figured he had sufficient strength at the plate to part with a .328 hitter for a mound worki horse who could win 16 out of 16 ' i with a tail-end club like the Reds of 1933. Moreover. Lucas is an excellent pinch-hitter. Other starting pitchers will be Larry French, Heinie .Meine, Bill Swift and probably Ralph Birkofer. Other holdovers are Hal Smith. Bill Harris, Waite Hoyt and Leon Chagnon. Outstanding rookie prospects are Lloyd Johnson, a southpaw from the San Francisco club, and Darrell Blanton from St. 1 Joseph. Outside of Lucas and

French the staff looks very ordinary. With Piet gone from the in- j field. Gibson hopes that the veteran Tommy Thevenow. Floyd i Young or the promising Harry ' Lavagetto from the Oakland club may hold down second base | creditably. Thevenow seems to, have first call. The rest of the infield will be the same, with Pie Traynor on third, Floyd Vaughan at short, and Gus Suhr at first. O * At the Training Camps By United Press » • Chicago, Apr. lb — (U.R) The, Chicago Cubs divided their squad into regulars and rookies today for the first of a series of preview practice games at Wrigley field.
