Lippy Leo Is On Spot With New York Club New York. April 1 — (I'P) — The first major league manager to go on the snot in 1949 is Lippy Leo Duroeher of the New York Giants. He hqs to produce — or else. Actually, he was put on that spot last July when he switched from the Dodgers to the Giants. He was brought to the Polo grounds with ' only one thought in mind — to make a pennant winner of a duh which owner Horace Stoneham is convinced has championship possibilities. Mel Ott couldn’t bring them out so, despite the hatred which Durocher had .built up at the Polo grounds during his years with the Dodgers, Stoneham decided to bring him across the river. it was quite a shock to Giant followers and they will stand for it only if Duroeher comes through. The odds are against it. For Duroeher inherited a comparatively old club that is slow and lacks the fire and pepper which ■ marked his Dodger clubs. It is a team with the most potential power in the league, and perhaps the worst pitching. That pitching is Durocher's big worry was made plain when the i Giants shipped $50,000 to the Dodgers for Hank Behrman, a baseball “bad boy’’ whose outside activities have kept him from cashing in on his promise. The only good year he enjoyed in the majors was under Duroeher and it probably was ■with that thought in mind that the Lip got Stoneham to take a chance on the speed ball right hander. Duroeher Is figuring on Behrman as a starter to go along with Larry Jansen, the ace of the staff; Sheldon Jones, iMontia Kennedy, Dave Koslo. Andy Hansen and Cliff Hartung. That leaves Ray Poat, rookie Sam Webb and Bill Ayers for 'second line duty. For hitting power Duroeher is looking to Johnny Mize at first, Sid Gordon at third; Willard Marshall, Whitey Lockman and Bobby Thomson in the outfield, and big Walker Cooper behind the plate. It could well form the murderer’s row of 1949. But the array does lack fielding finesse and, as a whole, speed. That takes something away from the batting power. Rounding out the infield will be Bill Rigney at second and Buddy Kerr at shortstop. For infield utility duty Lucky Jack Lohrke and Joe Lafata, who also can play the outfield, have the inside track while for the reserve outfield berth Don iMuelier, a rookie who hit .358 in 36 games for the Giants late last season, was the leading candidate. Mickey Livingston, an able receiver but a weak hitter, will help Cooper with the catching. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

The commission, which started work in July. 1497, now has crossed the last “T" and dotted the last “1" in some 2000,000 words of reports, findings and recommendations. What remains now is for Mr. Truman and congress to ad on the recommendations. How far they go is the next big question. If these recommendations are adopted, Mr. Hoover believes taxpavers will be saved several billion dollars over a short period of years. Some of this “task force” leaders make the more optimistic prediction that $2,000,000,000 (B) a year can he saved.
