BOSTON BRAVES UNCERTAIN TEAM Ability Os Ruth And Maranv ille To Come Back Is Questioned ■ 1 111 (Editor's note: This is one of a ( series of stories about major league baseball chibs in training 1. I By Stuart Cameron, (UP. Sports Editor) St. Petersburg. Fla.. Mar. 26. —~

(U.R)—Until the National league pennant race has unsnarled its early kinks and maybe for some time after that the Boston Braves will be the most talked-of dub m the circuit. Today as the clubs are settling down to the spring training camp grind the Boston dub is the most uncertain quantity. On the minus side the team is virtually the same one as finkshed fourth in 1934. On the plus side there are two of the most interesting characters in the game today. No. 2 of this select duo is the amazing Rabbit Maranville who ad mits to having been born in '9l. The Rabbit was out all last year because of a training camp leg fracture. He Insists he’ll play this year, and whether he does or not is up to him. for Boston fandom would not tolerate Maranville on the bench if he wanted to be on second. The chances are that Maranville will coach all season and will get into a game only now 1 nnd then. No. 1. of course is George Herman Ruth. There's been a lot of talk around the circuit to the effect: the Babe might play tirst. it’s strictly hooey. He is to play the outfield, if at all. Will he play the outfleld? Yes. some days. Babe Ruth hasn’t looked so well in spring practice. The writer has observed him in several training camp jousts. He appears a tired, old man. He still takes a tremendous cut at the ball. He’ll get a large number of homers. But Babe of 1935 simply isn’t the man he was even three years ago. He makes a gesture toward dog-trotting to the dugout after grounding out. but it’s nothing more than that. He looks as though the gait pained him, and. probably, it does. The Babe, of course, will be a great attraction at home and on the road. Boston has one rookie of whom much is expected. He is Joe Cosgarart, a Californian, who played with Seattle last year. He’s the most promising infield rookie the Braves have had in recent years. As the club shapes up. however, he seems due for a utility role. Whitney is dow-n for third base. Bill Urbanski seems definite at short. Leslie Mallon will play second when Maranville isn’t there. Buck Jordan is at first. The outfield is set With Berger at second. Lee at left and Moore
