Charley Grimm Predicts Team To Be Improved BRADENTON, Fla,, UP —The 1 Milwaukee Braves probably won’t win the National le’aguVpennant, | but manager Charley Grimm thinks his club has a fighting chance to finish in the first divi- , Bion this season. i His own analysis of the team is: “Loaded with pitching, and a lot of power.” ’ Jolly Charley recognizes the team has plenty of flaws of the type hrhich can’t be corrected in a short time. 1 “Th«.t’a why we are going with > a mixture of veterans and youngsters this season,” he explained. I “You just tran't start rebuilding on youngsters alone. You must I have some experienced players to I help them out.” ■ » J The big improvement in the ? Braves is the addition of right t handed hittihg strength. They | bought Andy Pafko from BjookB lyn and Joe Adcock from Cmcin- | nati. Those two with left fielder < Sid- Gordon will give them three I i J hitting right handers and there will be four in the linet • uh when Walker Cooper catches. ■ Laubtjpear the Braves saw more ■ 'left handed pitching than any club f In th,® league fbr its power" was y predominantly, Irpm the southpaw side of the plate. Now, Grimm experts to see more right handed . pitching and he believes it will be i big help to two of his youngsters —Ed Mathews at third and : } Jack iMttmer at second. I / Mathews hit only .242 last seai son; his rookie year, but hammerI ed out 25 home runs. Dittmer, f after a slow start, wound up hitI ting .193. - I Both should add from iff to 50 points to their averages this season they -won't be* facing so much left handed pitching, / Grimm predicted. _• '* The Braves infield will be a U. youthful one. Mathews is 21; Dittmer 25; shortstop Johnny Logan J 26, and .Adcock, who will play - The outfield will be on the oldish side with Gordon 34 and Pafko. ■i 32. A rookie, Bill Bruton, who hit .325 at Milwaukee last year, may win the Centerfield job from Sam Jethroe and rookie Jim Pendleton. Another reason for optimism is the return from service

of catcher Del Crandall and pitcher Johnny Antonelli'; Crandall will be the No. 1 catcher and Antonelli a starting pitcher. Both youngsters were just coming intfjj their own when they were called to duty by Uncle Sam. F [ / Grimm is banking on Warren Spahn, the best southpaw in, the league with X 14-19 record; Vern Bickford (7-12); Jim Wilson, Q - 14) and Max Surkont (12-12) as his other starters in addition to Antonelli. But he must develop fcbme second string hurling. Lew Bprdette (6-11), Ernie Johnson (6-3) and Dave Cole (1-1). are possibilities among the holdovers. Among the youngsters, Gena-'Coply who won 11 at Milwaukee, Dick Donovan, another American Association graduate, and Murray Wall have a chance of making the grade. Virgil Jester, who won three while' losing fivp after being up from Milwaukee last season, may win the No. 1 relief job.

Indianapolis Builds \ Toward State Title INDIANAPOLIS UP — Don’t hold your breath, but Indianapolis will run off {with Indiana’s precious high school basketball tourney crown one of these years. Why has the stage’s largest city, harboring two of the three largest schools in Indiana, never carried off the trophy in 43 .years? Veteran coached and \athletic directors today offered a number of reasons*. Listed were lack of organization, apathy on the part of schoolbdys, conflicting social life, and the lure of the wide entertainment field offered in “the big city.” But, they added hastily, there’ll be chalnges made. Led by sports-minded Dr. H. L. Shi bier, city superintendent of schools, the last three classes in grade school are gradually being organized to offer both football and basketball —on the curriculum of many srfalleJ* outata£i schools for years. “Now our kilds are three years behind the others,” complained Charles Dagwell, athletic director pf Arsenal .Technical high school, the state’s largest. Junior hig|i school leagues were started here last year in the seventh ana eighth grades, “and I think we’re on (he way now,” Dagwell added. s . It’s true that Tech reached the title game of the state tourney three last time in 1952 -rand that city oys won the coveted Trester Medal three times the last nine years. But the “big pne” has eluded them. —rExplosion And Fire Damage Laboratory HAMMOND, Ind., UP — The Physicians Supply Company building was\ damaged by fire Wednes^ 1 day, following an explosion in a basement laboratory.

' [ ' Urge Extension Os Farm Price Support ■ Urge Congress To Disregard Benson WASHINGTON UP — Two Democratic Of the sen.ate agriculture committee said today congress should disregard secretary of agriculture <fczra T Benson’s advice And pi)sh through a bill extending the presept farm price support law for several more years. In his first appearance before the senate committee since taking of-, flee, Benson made it clear he wants some changed in the support law due to expiry next year. He said he was not ready to make specific’recommendations but thought the law must he overhauled to provide ‘greater freedom, greater economy and greater flexibility." Sen. Allen J. Ellender *D-La., ranking Democrat on the committee, said he was “disappointed” by, Benson’s testimony. Ellender ’fa vors extension of the present law which guarantees government support of prices of six basic commodities at 90 per cent of parity. Sen. James O. Eastlaud D-Miss. fcaid it was clear to him that Benson wants ’flexible” supports. He predicted, however, that congress will extend the presen* law. Benson said a number of possible new farm price plans are under study, including a so-called twoprice system. Generally, a twoprice program would provide one .price for farm commodities sold on the domestic market and \a lower price for export goods with the government making up the difference. * Thia testimony drew praise from Sen. Milton R. Young R-N. D„ who has been bne of Benson's chief congressional critics. Although a vocal supporter of high price supports, Young sab! the two-price plan has merit and it is “entirely possible” that a new approach can be worked out.
