1n the business. It is without a peer defensively; it has plenty of power and great catching; and the pitching isn’t as bad as painted, it lias the best bench and, if one or two of the Brooklyn rpdkie pitching hopejul i should chine through, this could be a breeze for the Dodgeis. - The Giants, provided Sal Maklie and Larty Jansen return to form, appear tio be thh main contender with the Phillies and Cardinals also: in the picturi. But the Giants may lack pitching depth; the Phillies do not hare championship catclhing, pray iave trouble- at second an< thin base, and lack reserves. ,7’hte Cardinals, too, may have infield trodble at first and third. . Theta- yoin'g pitchers will have to come through, \ and the aging Slaughter must have another banner year if they hope to Win. ■ f ~ *'• Tfee Brajvea are probably the most imprdved team in ; - the league, bud still par' short of the championship clai s. The Cubs and Reds lack, \power! and pitching depth and the’ P fates—well, they probably be hard put to finish in tjhe first division of a i ; . T ■

Triple A league. J \ \ If Casey Stengel’s three ace pitchers —V Allie Reynolds, Vic Raschi, and Ed Lopat—and their brilliant shortstop, Phil Rigcuto, hold up, the Yankees should not have too much trouble. They have all around strength and a fine group of reserves. Its second line pitching probably will be the best in the circuit. „> The White Sox lack power, but have a speedy, fine club. The Athletics have the power, but are weik in catching, slow, and not too good ''defensively., f Cleveland has the pitching and the power, but too many defensives flaws. Washington has a young, fine, defensive ball club, but lacks punch and reserves and probably falls’ short on pitching. The; Red Sox. Tigers and WBrowns are rebuilding and it should be quite a scramble between those three for the last threex spots in the final standings. Revised National Schedule Released | CINCINNATI, O.

U- —r—+ : -K \ . <y-x--* ; I .—— a t Today's Sport Parade | (Reg. U. S. .pat. Off.) j By Oscar Fraley I 0 NEW YG’RK. UP — That old sophoihlore jinx was hard at work today on f|ve of ‘baseball’s top rookies o# f!)52. Leading the spring 'misery pal rade as the old second year hoodoo struck again were Joe Black of th&, Brooklyn. Dodgers apd Harry Byrd of the Philadelphia Athletics, 1952 majior league rookies otf the year. ( There iwere troubles too for Hoyt Wilhelm of the New York Giants, Eddiq Yuhas of the St. Loiiis -Cardinals and 4’lint Courtney of the St. Louis Browns, Yuhas may become; the chief victim, df the jinx. He'has a sore arm which may be chronic and, if it is, it could put a crimp in the pennant plans of the Cardiiials. The ibig fellow won 12 and. lost only two last season and appeared in 54 games. Along with Alpha Brazlejhe was expected to provide I lots of much-needed relief pitching for the Redbirds. Black and Byrd, jus: about everybody’s ' rookies of the year hi the respei tivei National! and American leagues, both' l have been big disappointments during spring trailring. ’ • Brooklyn's Jbe was a sharpshooting workhorse last season as he appeared in 56 games as a relief specialist who >wor 15 while losing only four. His control was his chief forte as he pitched the Dodgers to the pejingnt. This Spring he has given qp 13 runs and 27 hits in 25 inningis. And over that short spaii he has walked 12 meif. * , j Efforts of tt\e Giants' Wilhelm have bepn.ver.v spotty {his spring. if the Giants had wen . the pendant last year, Wilhelri probably 'would have won honors as the National league's top rookie. The knuckle balling relief pitcher came close tj Jim . KoustaUty's relief record, missirig by only three with his 71 appearances. His mark of 15 wins' against three losses gave him a league-letdlng .833 percentage. But tiis spring, Wilhelm gave up 10 earned runs in the first 20 inhinss he pitched. Jliii \ latest starts \lmve been a little better but Hoyt still is fair UouMjiey’s truuoles nave "all-

stemmed (from injuries, which also. have played a great part in the .of past sophomores. Three times .this spring he has broken th£ middle his throwing hand. He should, of snap back.
