E) d dl ge its' tHI e af icfl FJHaira Believes Fiag Bue r Br Jee Keiehlcr VEBO BEACH, Tl., April M-Burt Shotton Ii not Ilk most major- league managers. He thinks hi Brooklyn Dodgers are going to win the National League pennant this season and is not afraid to say for public consumption. f Brissie Tabbed as Cdmnig Waddell, Grove" "Sure well win the flag" Shot- ton answers frankly and unhesi tatingly "why shouldn't I say so when I bonsely believe it?" The elderly pilot does not expect the Dodgers- to make a runaway race of it On the contrary, he ex pects the toughest kind of opposi tion. "But well win in the end." He reiterate, "because we will out bustle, outrun and outfight the ethers. Well also outscore them." "What I )ust said doesn't go if we should suffer a serious Injury," he warned. "I can't anticipate In juries. In the final analysis, the team that can field Its regular line up more often than the rest will win the pennant. All things being equal, however, I can't see how any club can beat us." This comes as a surprising state ment from a man who admits that his outfield still consists of quan tity rather than quality; that he doesn't know who will open the season at third base, and that he can't nuke up his mind on the 10 pitchers he's going to keep. Three-quarters of the field is et. Gil Hodges will be at first, Jackie Robinson at second and Pee Wee Reese at short No less than eight aspirants are battling for the regular hot corner Job. Shot ten intends to keep 10 pit chers. Asked to name - his "big five," he said he couldn't do It It Is no secret, however, that Shot ton Is counting heavily on Ralph Branca, Rex Barney, Joe Hatten and Preacher Roe.

Earle Brueker, figure that Lou is a let better now. Brissie was the first winnint lefthander te work for Mack since Grore departed la the mid thirties. During the winter the Ander son (S.C.) war hero studied hew to remedy the mistakes he made last season. "I did se many thlnrs wrong oat there en the hills last year tthat I'm ashamed of myself." Leu admitted. "Bat that was last year." he went on. "There is another sea son ahead and while I'm not say ing hew many games Til win. I assure you I'll be smarter." "That's aU Brissie needs to be a great pitcher." commented Mack. As for speed, Brueker says that right now Lou can rifle the ball as fast as Bob Feller and Hal Newhouser. And, says Brueker, Lou has a snapping curre and an Improving change-np. "What more." Brueker asks, "can a pitcher want?" Brissie is the 25-year-old whose left leg was all but shot off In the Italian campaign of World War Two. It took tl op erations to save the leg. And he still cloaks it In a plas ter shield whea he's out there pitching.
