New Deal' Chiefs Plan on Youth, Hustle Movement
By Al Ughtaer
It win -Imt young, hustllnf ball
dub et Wenatchee this teuon, gays
Rupert (Tommy Thompson, the
new Chiefs manager. One a
powerful lefthand slugger with
San Dices and Portland of the
Coast league, Thompson has just
finished Jnanaging a few seasons
in the Pioneer circuit He expects
to play regularly himself for his
new club.
The Wenatchees of this year are
actually the Bremertons of a sea
son ago, with numerous changes.
The Bremerton franchise was
moved to Wenatchee during the
winter. The Chiefs continue to
hold the tieup .the Bremertons had
with Oakland of the Coast league,
and through it Thompson intends
getting any player help he may
seed. ,
As it stands now the Chiefs have
room for another catcher arid an
outfielder who hits from the right
side. They figure they're pretty
well: set otherwise. Len Neal is
at present the No. 1 catcher. He
was with Bremerton last year and
hails from nearby Sublimity, i
Both Walt Pocekay, who hit .328
for Bremerton, including a flock
of home runs, and Bob Goldstein,
purchased from Seattle, are tangl
ing for the first base job. Pocekay
may be shifted to the outfield
where he could patrol with
Thompson and Jay Ragni, the lat
ter the hustling .294 bitter with
Bremerton in '49. Ragni can also
pitch or play first base.
The balance of the Infield is set
with Morley Bockman, up from
Great Falls of the Pioneer league
where he was a star performer
at third base; colored Larry Neal
at short and the veteran Bud
Hjelmaa at second. Neal has been
sent down from Oakland and Hjel
maa, with Vancouver's pennant
winners two years ago, was
bought from Seattle. They expect
to be a crack double play , com
bination and both can hit.
The Chiefs appear to be strong
in the pitching department with
these gents around: Al Triechel,
six-foot, five-incher formerly with
i
thr Boston Braves and San Diego;
Lefty Dave Dahle, a promising
rookie with Bremerton last year;
Hank Weaver, seasoned i right
hander; Alton Lee, Leroy Stevens
and I Dude Baldwin, all With pro
experience, and Lefty Don Far
rarese, Tom Breisinger and Jim
Fiscalini, a trio with Albuquer
que's pennant' winners last year.
Farrarese and Breisinger won 35
games between them at Albuquer
que. ; J
It's an entirely new setup at
Wenatchee this year as the fans
themselves control the ball club
through the sale of stock. And
they're expecting big things of
Mgr. Thompson -and his hirelings.
(Tomorrow: Tacoma Tigers.)
