Joo Williams Says—

Is Joe Holding dleeper Standpat Attitude Queer, May Get Scarborough :

. SARASOTA, Fla., Mar, 23—1It is not considered good baseball to stand pat even with a championship club. Joe McCarthy seldom did when he had the Yankees. Last year his Red Sox were not good enough to win. At least they didn’t. - They finished second in a photo. Still McCarthy is’ standing pat. Why? aT

than meets the eye, that it was good enough.to win in '49, but

achieve his first flag in the land of the succulent bean. McCarthy doesn’t say as much. This is deduction. It could be incorrect. : s = = . 88 -MeCARTHY says he lost last year because his pitching was . thin. No notable additions have been made. Essentially it is the game staff-that-fatied the Buffalo sijuire 14st year. Free-wheeling : Som Yawkey, the owner, customarily operates on a grand scale, ou seldom see him shopping in baseball's bargain basements. Yet last winter he drafted a pitcher and bought another who had previously been discarded by the Phils. This is not the Yawkey way. , Mystified, I asked McCarthy if he had a deal in the making and he replied in the negative. But he added, “of course if I can make one that will help us I won't hesitate.” I happen to know he would not mind seeing Ray Scarborough in a Red Sox uniform. Scarborough won 13 and lost 11 with a miserable Washington team last year. There has been talk that he can be had. - ” . ~ » o THE YANKEES, too, would like to deal for the tall righthander but they do not rank high socially with Bucky Harris, the Washington manager. who feels he was unfairly treated by the

being the case, if Scarborough is dealt the Red Sox stand the

watching. It could very well upset all the pre-season dope. But since McCarthy indicates he's going with what he’s got that's the way you must appraise the club. He is not a loquacious fellow except when discussing George M. Cohan, Jay Kirke and

March forecasts look silly. = » ~ » . ~ I FOUND him in an unusually cheerful frame of mind, especially for a fellow who has been nosed out at the wire two years running. You hear it said that McCarthy never wins the close ones, and you can be sure he's heard it, too. I have never subscribed to this criticism. On the contrary, it is my belief only he could have made the close ones. close;.others would-have-been-farther back.

out of retirement to lead the Red Sox into a dead heat with the Indians in ‘48, All he had left in the playoff in the way of pitching was old Denny Galehouse. That was the tip off as to how thoroughly he had exploited his manpower down the stretch. It was a tribute to his ability that he made it as close as he did. » ” . ! » ” ~ “YOU CAN be sure that McCarthy does not want to finish eecond again, so when he indicates optimism in a situation which does not seem to call for too much optimism, it is time to sto

20 games are not beyond his reach. He has always lacked able reliefers in Boston, He thinks Johnson, a hold over, Mueller, up from Louisville and maybe Schanz—the ex-Phil—will remedy what he calls “thin” pitching. And this year he is carrying one extra pitcher to bring the total to one dozen. Taw Needing pitching so acutely, why had he left Kramer go to the Giants? Two years ago, Kramer won 18 and lost 5 for him. “He did,” nodded McCarthy, “but did you look at his earned run average (4.35). I let him go because he could no longer win for me.” Kramer charged McCarthy had railroaded him out of the league. McCarthy laughed, :
