George Selkirk running around loose, both offensively and de­ fensively. We’re or.e of the majority let down by the Boston Red Sox last season. But acting on the as­ sumption that w ith the available talent such a flop can’t occur two seasons in a row, we’re pick­ ing Cronin’s crew to cop place money this year. The big reason why the Sox didn’t finish higher last season was the lack of morale, ad­ m ittedly caused by the big money paid big name stars. Dur­ ing the off season Cronin has disciplined his players and, with a change or two in the lineup, plus potential increase in pitch­ ing strength, he ought to bring the boys together. The Tigers are a big question mark. On Greenberg’s wrist and Cochrane's a bility to stay be­ hind the bat most of the season hinges their fate. Greenberg has declared his oft-broken w rist is as good as it ever was, and Mickey thinks he’s good for another season. I f both are sincere, the Tigers may take top prize; if not, they may beat out the Athletics for cellar honors. Gaston H igh Loses Game to Banks right-hander may mean the pen­ nant for the Burs. The Cubs ought to be a bet­ ter outfit, with Curt Davis do­ ing a lot better than he did on the hill last season, and with the first base difficulty ironed out by acquisition of Jimmy Collins. Attack in the outfield is the big problem. Third position lies between the Cards and the Giants, with the former getting the call due to the weak link at first for the Giants.
