Big Joe But He Picks Yanks for "52 Flag

By United Press

GLENDALE, Cal., Jan.;

his wrinkled old neck today and picked his world champion Yankees to win their fourth straight American League

pennant in 1952.

“We'll be a great team even without the big guy, Joe DiMaggio, and I think the club needs little or no revision to win the pennant again,” he said. “And what's more we don’t need to make any big deals or major changes. “I've never heard of a championship club trading or benching four or five men. It's just not good baseball to break up a team that has won for you consistently the past three years.”

. ” » STENGEL said there was no question that the team would miss DiMaggio. “in the worst sort of way.” He also lamented the loss of Jerry Coleman to the Marines and - the pending loss. of Bobby 3rown to the Army Medical Corps, which will break up his two platoon infield that clicked so well last season. Coleman played second base against left handed pitchers and Brown played third against right handers. Rookie of the Year Gil McDougald played both second and third, relieving Brown against left handers and Coleman against right handers. That was one of the maneuvers for which Stengel has become famous.

o n sn s THE veteran: skipper said that Billy Martin, a reserve infielder last year, probably would land a regular job now at second base with McDougald moving to third. He also will work at length with two promising youngsters from Kansas City, Kal Segrist and Andy Carey and one of them may break into the lineup. Stengel said that “my number one chore, though, is to find an adequate replacement for Big Joe.” “Anybody who even thinks he can play centerfield gets his chance this spring,” Stengel said. “And the one who shows me the stuff gets the job when the season opens.”

2 o 2 THE top prospects; of course, are sophomore Mickey Mantle and former California fooball star Jackie Jensen. Stengel also suggested that Gene Woodling

might be moved over from left field for a try ‘at the job. 2

Stengel definitely thinks the chances of making a deal for another outfielder are slight. > a a a “THERE are no negotiations under way at this time,” he said. “Besides with the manpower business the way it is, it looks as if everybody will be hanging on to what they've got.” The skipper thinks there is a possibility that another outfielder may come from the Yankees third annual “finishing school” which which will be conducted in advance of the regular spring training at Lake Wales, Fla., spring

® ® | waa: Air Goods Earns Title

Of ‘Futility By United Press MIAMI, Fla., Jan. 14—A hand-

some mare named Air Goods, who ate up far more in eats than she earned in .purses, rated the dubious distinction today of the “futility champion” of racing. Alr Goods, now ‘beginning her third year of racing, has gone to the post 41 times and never graced the winner's circle. If nothing else, she has proved a paragon of consistency.

n ” 2 ELLA and Ray Bryson, who purchased the chestnut mare as a yearling filly for $1000 in 1949, finally gave up on the horse two weeks ago and sold her-to IL Jacono. In her 41 races, Air Goods earned only $875, thanks to-a second-place finish in 1950 and fourth money on five other occaéions. The closest she ever got to winning was when she lost by a neck in one of her 1950 starts. Air Goods earned $100 with a fourth-place finish at Tropical Park in her first race under her new owner, Jan. 3. But listen to what Joe Serio Jr.

‘for the mare, Serio replied: “Oh, not much, say about $1000! It
