Brqoklyn Manager Dressen
Puts in Call For Hurlers
BEL AIR, Calif., Jan. 6 mi
Brooklyn Manager Charlie Drcs
fen has put in a call for pitchers.
Anil, to show lie isn't particular,
he said he'd take any pitcher who
could help the Dodgers win the
national League pennant again in
1953. .
"We've got to have some more
pitchers," insisted Dressen, at his
home here as he scanned the list
of Dodger prospects coming up
in March.
"I don't know if it will he a
case of developing youngsters,
having the veterans back in shape
or trading some of our stars," lie
added, "but we need stronger
pitching."
Arm trouble, explained Dressen.
hampered both Clem Labine and
Ralph Branca last season, throw
ing an extra heavy load upon Joe
Black.1 This year, he added, Black
figures prominently in his pitch
ing plans. '
"Black may be a starter or he
may work relief. I won't know un
til I see what we have available
after spring training starj&If Iw:
wc nave uvi; iium-nne piicncrs,
Black probably would do some re
lief work. But then again, we
may have to use him as a start
er regularly."
Although there has been con
siderable talk about the Dodgers
trying to get Warren Spahn from
the Braves, Dressen was cautious
in discussing a possible deal or
who he would give up to get
Spahn.
"Seems to mo we'd have to
give up somebody," ho said, "hut
I'm not prepared to say who. A
lut depends on What the Braves
would ask. But we're prepared to
trade, with Boston or anybody
else, for a top pitcher if the right
deal comes along." ( ,
Dressen answered winter dis
cussion regarding, whether Gil
Hodges would be back at first
base by saying that his "present
thought" would be to keep the
big slugger thee and continue to
play Jackie Robinson at second.
The x-hlpper Dodger, manager
said the 1953 prospects were not
too gloomy for his team and he
expected that from the host of
youngsters who will show up for
spring training he might pull
out a good rookie pitcher.
Dressen said of, the youngsters
he had or knows are coming up,
the likely-looking prospects in
clude Kenny Lehman, Johnny Ru
therford, Ray Moore and Jim
Hughes, but there were others he
anted to look over.
He chuckled when told Manag
er Eddie Stanky of the Cardinals
had picked his own- St. Louis team
to win the pennant in 1953.
"He's got a hustling club," Dres
sen admitted, "and he has lots of
young pitching. But I'm not too
worried. There's a lot of differ
ence between claiming the pen
nant now and" winning it next
fall, We'll see."
