Bob Scheffing. Chicago Cubs'
manager, looked over the Nation
al league today and called the
Cincinnati Reds the most improved
team in the senior circuit.
"Mind you, I'm not saying which
team's going to finish whete, but
the way 1 see it, Cincinnati im
proved the most over the winter,"
Scheffing said. "Getting Frank
Thomas from the Pirates was a
big move for the Reds.
"Then, they'll have that kid out
fielder Vada Pinson back and he's
impressed me every time I saw
him play."
Scheffing wasn't particularly op
timistic about his own team.
"We improved last year because
Ernie Banks had a tremendous
season. So did Bobby Thomson.
Alvin Dark and Lee Walls. Will
they do as well this time? I really
don't know."
Banks Powers One
Banks, the league's mast valu
able player, took batting practice ,
for the first time Thursday and
knocked the ball 23 feet over the ,
fence on his third swing.
Thomas also got in some good
lick at Cincinnati's camp in Tam
pa, Fla. The slugger hit several
of Don Newcombe's pitches out
of the park and later predicted he
would nit between 30 and 35 hom
ers for his new club. Manager
Mayo Smith had Gus Bell working
in both right and left field. If Pin
son can gain the centerfield job. :
Smith expects to alternate Bell and
Del Enms in left. 1
Larry Doby's switch from the
outfield to first base, it turns out,
is the key to the season's ttarung
lineup for the Cleveland Indians. 1
"If Doby is all right physically, j
he's got to play. We need his bat,"
said Manager Joe Gordon.
The Indians have Jimmy Pier
salt, obtained from Boston, for
Doby's spot in center field. If Lar
ry, who has been bothered by
groin injuries, can handle first
base, then Vic Power will move
from first to third.
The big league teams continued
to haul in signed contracts. Phil
