Baseball's winter ‘book forecasts” another subway series. Joe DiMaggio
URT SHOTTON'’S Columbus Red Birds, American Association defending champions, at this date have virtually nothing of the 1937 pennant ‘club left. . . . The Cardinals have bolstered the Birds with new players, but most of them are from the little minors. . . . The parent organization says it will turn over some seasoned material later. . . . Which is a promise and not a guarantee. The Cards have double-A farms at Rochester and Sacramento and may come up short of talent to feed the three teams. . . . And rumblings have been heard in Columbus that the fans there would not stand for a makeshift club after enjoying the pleasure of a pennant winner last year. ; , Toledo's infield has failed to click and Fred Haney, the pudgy manager, is back in harness at third base. . . . He is well along in years and hoped to direct the play from the bench this season. . . . The Detroit Tigers built the Hens into a winner in 1937, but have no extra infielders of - quality to option. to-Haney at this time. ; ® 2 8 ‘a NN OST distant fence in the American Association this year will be Louisville's center field, 512 feet from home plate. . . .

EO MILLER, general manager of the Indianapolis club, is dickering for a new outfielder, first baseman and a seasoned shortstop. . The club is short of left-handed hitting strength and the first sacker sought swings from that side. ... Jimmy Pofahl, the rookie from the Springfield, O., team of the Mid- Atlantic League, played the shortfield throughout the exhibition season and probably will start there in the A. A. opener against Minneapolis Saturday. Young Pofahl, who won’t be 21 until June, has impressed Manager Schalk as a likely prospect with baseball sense. . Lou Menendez was edged out of the position by the lad from Springfield and has been used as utility. When and if a new first baseman is obtained, Myron McCormick, first baseman, will be switched to the outfield. . Another possibility is thas Bob Latshaw, who bats left-handed, will be used at the initial sac 8 = = y 2 = NLY one day was lost in Florida training, General Manager Miller reported, and the exhibition schedule of 21 games was played off without a postponement. . . . The Redskins are to retyn to Bartow next spring and more games with major. league clubs will be scheduled. . Bartow is situated in the heart of the baseball belt away from the coast and the high winds which often annoy the teams which train at seaside resorts. The Minneapolis club has decided to move its training camp to inland Florida in 1939. . . . Daytona Beach, the Millers’ 1938 camp, has all the modern training facilities but is some distance from the other league clubs which invade the Sunshine State annually in March.
# ® # ® ” ® AYOR WALTER C. BOETCHER warmed up his throwing arm yesterday, tuned his rooting voice, sent out for a sack of peanuts and let fly with the following baseball proclamation: “The opening of the baseball season, which is to be marked in Indianapolis by a game at Perry Stadium Saturday, is a real civic event and should receive the support of our citizens. Every resident of Indianapolis should have a genuine interest in the success of the Indians, becduse their success reflects credit on the city, gnd brings to it much favorable publicity. “In order to function at its best, any team must have the support of its home fans, and it is sincerely to be hoped that the people of Indianapolis will attend this opening game in such numbers that the trophy awarded by the American Association for the best opening day attendance will come to Indianapolis as proof of our interest in this wholesome American game.”

Indianapolis this morning. Schalk said his pastimers were in splendid + physical condition afler more than a month’s training in the South and declared his team is stronger than it looks on paper. “I guess our record in the exhibition games surprised a lot of the experts,” he chortled. “But the boys won the majority of tilts because they hustled and offered a tight defense.
‘Proud of His Kids
“I am proud of the youngsters and feel sure they will merit the support of Indianapolis fans. The team is eager to get going in the championship rate and holds no fear of the Minneapolis Millers on opening day Saturday.” Schalk indicated Laurie Myllykangas, Vance Page or Lloyd Johnson would draw the opening mound assignment.

Infielders Myron McCormick, Vincent Sherlock; Steve Mesner, James Pofahl and Lou Menendez, righthanded hitters, and Bob Fausett, Bol Latshaw and Mike Martineck, lefthanded hitters. Outfielders Glen Chapman, Frank Doljack and Andy Pilney, righthanded hitters, and Oscar Eckhardt, Otto Meyers and Victor Mettler, lefthanded hitters.
Three New Standouts
Outstanding players added to the squad since the start of spring training are Steve Mesner, third baseman; Bill Baker, catcher, and Myron (Mike) McCormick, first baseman. Youth rules the Indians’ first string infield where Vincent Sherlock, second baseman, is the lone holdover. He is 27. McCormick, at first; Mesner at third, and Pofahl, at short, have yet to be poled for votes. They are 20. The Indians will put the finishing touches on their training at Perry Stadium tomorrow and the field will be shared with the Miilers who arrived today.
