Bobby will be playing his ninth season- with the Red Sox and is anticipating a good season his secona since leaving the army, nis Datung average of .271 last season was considerably under his all-time average of .291. Although Doerr and Gordon are ennrl friends, fans and baseball critics have long been arguing which is me Dest second-baseman In the league. There is one certainty, they're two of the finest second basemen ever to play in Big League . baseball, Bobby was named most valuable player in 1944. . Doerr Taking Family Doerr. will be working under a lucrative contract that was signed at the end of last season. The two-year pact is reported to call for $25,000 per year. Doerr is planning to take his family with him to Florida. Bobby has one consolation it the Bed Sox fail to repeat in the World Series he returns home in time for good steelhead fishing on the Rogue. Whitman, another University of Oregon product, was one of the surprising "freshman" members of the amazing Brooklyn Dodgers who last year battled the World Champion St. Louis Cardinals Into a playoff for the National League pennant.

The big righthander, who has a blazing fast ball and a good wrinkle, may develop into a sen sational moundsman it and when he learns control. At the tail end of last season he was sent to Syracuse for conditioning and pitched the Chiefs into the Inter national League playoff with seven wins and ono loss. But in the first playoff game he suf fered a simple fracture of his pitching arm and had to retire. The arm is okay now. Howard has been in training all winter and ha played consid erable basketball with the Bend American Legion team.
