He mill is bothered by a troublesome finger on bls throwing I hand, but has learned a new way to grip the bat and it has been working well. It’s a good thing Mize has been hitting for Babe Young has been leading all the Giants at bat with] a mark ot .500 and Ott would like to find a place for him in the lineup But he was tried and found, wanting a* an outfielder and probahly will have to c-mfine his duties to pinch hitting and taking over for big Johnny when relief is needed. The Dodgers, among: others, are reported interested in Young. Only Buddy Kerr at short, in ad-] dition to Mize, at first, is an in field fixture. Third base is a wide open battle between two rookies.l

Picks Cardinals, Red Sox To Repeal — — - New York. April 10. (VP) ' There was good reason today to * pick the St. lamls Cardinals and ’ Boston Red Sox as repeaters In the major league pennant races 1 and the Brooklyn Dodgers and Detroit Tigers to wind up in second place roles. ‘ These clubs appear to he so ’ closely balanced that the 1947. world series might well be between • the Dodgers and Tigers instead of ’ tiie Cardinals and Red Sox. or it : might involve the Dodgers and 1 Red Sox. or the Cardinals and ' Tigers. Each club has Its outstanding assets. The Cards have no peers! defensively, the Red Sox are the most imposing array of sluggers, j ’ the Tigers have the best pitching, and the Itodeers by far the great est reserve strength. I It Is hard to see how any of the other 12 major league teams could make a serious bid for the pen- ' mint and it would come as a major [ surprise if any of them did so. Many imponderables the nddl | Hon of a star player by sale or ! trade, an Injury to a key regular, the unexpectedly brilliant showing ( of some rookie—these and others could change the status of almost any team, but as things stand now here are the ratings from top to bottom.
