Frisch Says Chicago Cubs To Be Better Houston, Tex., April 2.—(UP)— Frankie Frisch, that old Chicago Cub Bqwer fancier,- is trying to plant the seeds of victory today . "where, for a long time, only weeds ”, have grown. i ; The Cub pilot knows be has a tough road to hoe but is lent encouragement by a flock v of newcomers who look as if they might be able to cultivate the winning habit* From what hei has seen so far thig spring, Frisch feels his Cubs will be far\ stronger than they , were in last year’s National league ..race. "We made too many' mistakes last season,'* he said, “andi I don’t think well make ’em again this time. The added year of" 's ence is the best thing that's happened to us. ' \ i ' , “That, plus the fact, that we have some fine prospects ion our roster, could make a world of difference in the way we wind up this time.” Frisch isn’t normally given over to optimism so it might be signifi. ''Cant when he promises, “we’ll finish a lot better than most people think.” -JJMtiieh of his hope undoubtedly lies tn a young, speedy infield that conceivably could become one of the most spirited in tlje league. ' Frisch beams every time he talks of hh -keystone combine.' composed of shortstop Roy Smalley and second baseman Wayne (Squeaky) Terwilliger. Both men are defensive whirHvlnds v and Smalley, who belted 2fi home runs last year, owns the necessary punch td-tdp that output this year. 'Perhaps the prize prospect on the Chicago roster is Ransom Jackdon, a. 25-year-old third baseman -who batted .315 with Spring field of the International league last year and was chosen the outstanding rookie in the circuit. \ Jackson makes all the right moves in the field, hits with solid authority and is expected to gain the Regular job over Bill another promising youngster. Lapky Preston Ward might have Won the regular first base job but an expected army call may pave the way : for Deb Fondy. If Fondy fails, 35-year-old Phil Cavarretta has signified he is ready to take over. • Ip jthe outfield, Anly Pafko, one ?;of the leagu’s outstanding players, has clinched hisjob ahd there isn’t anyone around who looks like ;he ,can oust Hank Saubr, eith®t. Pafko batted <304 last year while Sauer drove in 103; runs and Frank Baumholtz, who cbatled .3*9 Wiihi Lbs Angeles, is making a grim bid to nail down the third X>utfi4ld epot but is getting ample Hal Jeffcoat, Carmen Mauro, Bob Borkowski and veteran Ron Northel. 1 'o, , Frlich’s catching is bound to be better with Forrest Burgess and Al (Rube) Walker to aid experienced Mickey oAven. Whether or not the Cubs make any real progress this season will < depend on their pitching staff, which is strong on promist but weak on time-tested ’ Southpaws Johnny Schmitz and Paul, Minner abd righhlianders I Frank Hiller, Hob Rush Johnny RUppateln and 'Walt Dubiel shape up ak logical starters.

Loti Boudreau May Win Regular Post St. Petersburg, Fla., April 2— (UP)—"Lou Boudreau took the first big step today toward becoming the Boston Red Box’ regular shortstop and shoving Vern Stephens to third base and 'Johnny Pesky onto the bench.
