It was an honor Johnny had long been waiting In the past his name was high on the tabulations but lie failed to get the ' required number of votes. When Evers was notified of hiselei tion to the Hall of Fame, his first thoughts were of the other members of the famous combination. Evers said that hv was ' glad we al! made It together. Chance." he added, "should have been chosen! long ago." "Pm tickled to pieres that they, selected me. I feel firn* . . . great That leaves me with no more worries. I wish Chance were alive to feel as happy about it as 1 do ' I wish he were here I'm glad for ' Tinker, too. I'm mighty glad we all made it together." i' During his long major league career, Johnny was connected with ' the Chicago White Sox. New York !

Brownies May Be Dangerous To Other Teams Miami. Fla., March 28. (UP) — When they talk about the 1947 American league pennant, the St. Louis Browns receive very little consideration, but Muddy Ruel in his first season as manager may ' surprise a> lot of peojde. No leas an expert than Connie ' Mack feels that the Browns, if 1 they play up to their potentialities. | can win the flag. He points out that they still have the key men Who led them to their only pennant in 1944. Not many baseball men. including Ruel, will agree with Connie in his estimate of the Browns, but they do know that the team maybe a dangerous one. Ruel would settle for a first division finish and would not be "too unhappy" if I they wind up heading the second) division. , His problems are manifold with only three positions certain. Walt I Judnich. who hit only. .262 last i season but still is regarded as a coming star will be in center field: Vern Stephens, the Browns' only regular who hit over .300 last season, at short and Jake Early, obtained from Washington, behind the plate.

Jeff Heath probably will win one of the other outfield berths and has showed signs this spring of really getting back to the bard hitting expected of him when he started out with Cleveland. The battle for the third post is wide open with the veterans Chet Laabs, Glenn Mctjuillen and Al Zarilla the leading candidates Paul Lehner, who hit .317 with Toledo, also may stick. Jerry Witte, another rookie who hit .312 and smashed 46 homers for Toledo, and Chuck Stevens, who played the bag last year, are fighting it out for the first base post with Witte having the inside track. Johnny Berardino probably w ill be at second with either Mark Christman or Boh Dillenger at third. Henry Helf and Joe Schultz figure to be the spare catchers. As for pitching the Browns could have a brilliant staff if Denny Galehouse. Nelson Potter. Jack Kramer and Bob Muncriff throw anything at all like they did in 1944 when they were the key men in the St. Louis pennant drive. All fell off last year, with .Muncrief the most disappointing, winning only three grilles against 12 defeats. Ruel is hoping they will be his regular starters this year. To help them out are Cliff Fannin, who

I showed a lot of promise when he ' won five games for the duh late ; last season; lefty Sam Zoldak. who also looks like a comer; Fred Sanford, a 15-game winner with Toledo, and Frank Biscan and Ellis Kinder, both of whom had disappointing seasons In 1946 Walter Brown or Glen Moudler probably will he Ruel s l"th hurler. Brown was with Toledo last year, winning nine games, while Moul- ' der won 10 with Montreal. While it doesn't rival Detroit's star-studded staff, It could develop into one of the best hurling corps in the league. And if Judnich. Stephens.

A teammate suggest cd that would !>e quite a thrill. "Yeh." Harfs replied. "He's one of those dare-devils. You'll read about him in the obituary column tomorrow." . . . According to Hal Newhotiser, Detroit pitching ace. Pat Seerey of the Cleveland Indians is the coming power hitter of the American league. "Naturally nobody touches Ted Williams." Newhotiser admitted.' "but you jus' watch this Seerey.' He's tremendously strong, has a good eye and a good swing and can hit the ball a country mile." Seerey hit only .225 last year.! But. oh well. Newhotiser still Is a goixl pitcher . . .

There is a lot of interest among the ball players in the touring golf professionals and their progress in the winter tournaments. Which recalls that there Is a new feud on in fairway ranks between Toney Petina and Lawson Little. They had sharp words during the Miami four-ball tournament which almost flared into fisticuffs during an afterdinner session. Tiny Toney invited Little "out-f side" and the burly former Na Hana! Open champion laughed at him . . . Easy-going Ewell Blackwell of the Cincinnati Red* is another who can get his back up In the air. The stringy six-foot, five-inch pitcher flares up when his-team mates refer to him as "Connie Mack Junior." ... One of the most interested visi tors to the camps is Al Schacht. < the "clown prince" of baseball. Al! played 12 hospitals in the south with his three-and-a half hour show for the wounded boys. That made; his 410tb hospital visit. Banana nosed Al. a former pitcher, lived | on an 80-foot yacht owned by a I friend. "First it was his boat; then our ; boat, and now I sometimes invite I him aboard." Schacht gagged "But on the first of the month. I when the bills are due, it will be his IxMit again.” . . . Billy Herman, the new manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, complains that there is a shortage of cat' hers in the major leagues. "Everyltody wants to be a pitcher like Bobby Feller or an outfielder like Ted Williams." Billy grinned. ; Is that bad?
