The Yankees get the nod on Improvement Their off - season trade with Baltimore for Bob Turley, Don Larsen and Billy, Hunter may not have "assured” the Bombers the pennant, as first suggested, but it certainly will make the path easier. Moose Skowron, who played part time last year, has eotae on beautifully at first base, and Who has likelier looking rookies than Elston Howard and Johnny 4tucks? The Yankees will be weak at shortstop, but no weaker than the Indians. Despite the addition of Herb Score, this may be the year that thtiJhdians’ great pltchthg staff begins to decay.

Detroit, Boston add Washington will scramble for the remaining firstdivision spot, and that doesn’t leave much for the Orioles, even with a face-lifting, or the Athletics. without one. The Giants’s Leo Durocher never has been able to put together two big years in succession as a manager. The Giants’ luck was all
