Good Crop Os Rookie Stars In National New York, June 2* (UP) Ilawhall's "freshman class'* of 1946 was supposed to get loot in ill** rush of returning stars from military service. but in spite of the tougher competliiol there are a host of rookie* tn each league today who have developed into •‘honor students." The National langue has a considerably better crop of youngslers than the American, which bodes Well for senior circuit fun*, who have had to take criticism In recent year* that their league hasn't come up with as many great Mara a* the younger loop. However, American League partisans may argue that because of the preponderance of topflight established players it is more difficult for rookies to break in there. The youngster who has captured the fancy of the most fans is Del Ennis, the ex-Philadelphia sand loiter, who catne unheralded to the Phils and landed a first team berth in the outfield where his sensational hitting und fielding have been a major factor In the recent surge of the perennial National League doormats. There are enough rookies to staff an entire major league club playing In the National la-ague In toe outfield there would be ■Enis, his Philly running mate Johnny Wyrostek. Ralph Kiner of the Pirates. Carl Furlllo and Dick Whitman of the Dodgers. Erx Duaak of the Cards and Marv Rickert of the Cubs. Eddie Waitkus of the Cubs Is the- best looking of the young first basemen, although Dick Sister of the Cards still has a following of fans who think he will some day be as great as his father.

Billy Cox of the Pirates at short and Grady Hatton of the Reds at third rounds out a first class Infield while Joe Garagiola of the Cards, and perhaps Ferrell Anderson or Bruce Edwards of the Dodgers would provide adequate catching. The best young pitchers are Rex Harney, Joe Hatton and Hank llehrman of Brooklyn. Monte Ken nedy of the Giants, and Ewell Blackwell and John Hetki of the Reds. In the more limited American League array, the better young outfielders appear to be Whitey Platt of Chicago and the oft-lnjur-eil Hoot Evers of Detroit. In the Infield, Murrlll I Jake) Jones of Chicago and Chuck Stevens of St taints stand out at first lease, but there are few lop |»erformers elsewhere.

The Cuba put across two runs in the ninth to Iteat the Pirates, 6 to 5 when pinch-hitter Bill Nicholson singled home the tying and winning runs at Pittsburgh.

Ro lando and Armando Vega, two broihers who had a mission without much hope, went out 'uw against the United Sial** Davis cup team with revenge Instead of tennis on their minds. An the American tone finals opened at the Orange l.awn tennis dub. their fiery Uttn blood was boiling over the llgh'. regard of their net capabilities voiced by Walter Pale, non-playing captain of the American forc««. Pate, a gray haired attorney who has captained the U. S. cup loam t-lnce 1935. Irritated the Mexicans by predicting that they "shouldn't Ims much trouble.” He made this statement after the U. S. knocked off the Philippines and the Mexicans were irate because they proved pretty fair themselves by defeating Canada with the same whitewash score. "It was very unsportsmanlike.” one member of the large delegation protested. "Frankly we don't expect to defeat the United States. Your team has too much experience for our boys. But I am certain that Pate's statement will prove a r.reat stimulant to Ralando and Armando." Rolando and Billy Talbert of Wilmington, Del., open the firing today with Armando following In a singles match against national amateur champion Frankie Parker of Los Angeles. And therein Iles another rub, because the Mexicans admittedly are none too fond of Talbert. Longpants Billy Is a cocky kid who is good and admits it In a boyish sort of way. Everything about his manner says so, and during three appearances in Mexico he did not exactly become the favorite tennis player of the home folks. Pate, meanwhile, was attempting to pour oil on the troubled waters "The Vegas should give us a rough time,” Pate admitted after seeing them play for the flrwt time in two years. "They have come a long way since I saw them lose to Sid Wood and Don McNeill in the National doubles at Forest Hills in 1944.

"They both club the ball crisply and cleanly and they really go for a point a* long as It's anywhere in sight. We won't start worrying about Australia until «e get over the next three days." If tbe United States gets past Mexico, Pate believes that w» will have a "good chance" of regaining the cup lost to Australia In 1939. He pointed out that Dinny Palls, new Australian star, had been beaten by third ranked American Pancho Segura in the I-ondon championship* and asserted that Parker now has a good enough forehand to beat both Adrian Quist and John Bromwich, the two Aussie veterans. "But we have to get past these Mexican* first," he cautioned. it was a Mated attempt to strike out hi* earlier words.
