Waitkus to Have
Fight for Return
To First Sacking
Clearwater, Fla., March 6 (U.R)
Although Eddie Waitkus seemed
in fine condition in his attempt
to regain baseball stardom with
the Philadelphia Phils', it was ap
parent today that he will have a
tough Job to win back his old
first base job.
Waitkus, out of action since
he was shot by a demented girl
fan ih mid-season last year, belt
ed two singles and a double in
a practice game yesterday. But
Dick Sisler, who finished out
the year at first, also hit two

Brave Mentor Expects
Sain to Hit Top in '50
By WHITNEY MARTIN
Brandator, Fla., March 6 (IP)
Manager Billy Southworth says
he has all the confidence in the
world that Johnny Sain will
have a fine year on the mound
for the Boston Braves, and to
make it unanimous Sain shares
the confidence.
Tough breaks had a lot to do
with Sain's indifferent 10-17
record last year after his fine
24-15 performance in 1948,
Southworth insists.
"He just had a lot of bad
luck," says the sturdy little
pilot who is making something
of a comeback himself. "Balls
were .falling for. cheap hits,
and sometimes the support
wasn't too good. He never
complained of a sore arm. I
guess his arm got tired some
times." Southworth, in going over
board for Sain, risks another
ducking when he stoutly main
tains his current outfield is the
best he has had since coming
to the Boston club in 1946.
"Even If Sam Jethroe, (the
negro speedboy obtained from
the Dodgers via Montreal) does
n't make it, I still say it is the
best," Billy insists. "We have Sid
Gordon and Willard Marshall
and Louis Olmo and Tommy
Holmes and others."
He won't be pinned down in
to saying this is his best all-
around team in Boston. But he
will admit he "likes my squad."
It would seem he would be rath
er hard to please if he didn't.
He has an experienced man
at every spot if he cares to
Bsc him, although he has only
half-a-year's experience be
hind the plate. Del Crandall,
20-year-old first-string catch
er, joined the club last June
15. The other two receivers
are fresh from the bushes, but
Southworth is going all out
for the husky Crandall.

Defends Rookie
Bonus Arrangement
San Bernardino, Calif., March
g (U.R) President Frank McKin

said today his team acquired
pitcher Paul Pettit, the $100,000
bonus player, "in open bidding"
and did not approach him be
fore he graduated from high

McKinney made the statement
at the Pirates' training camp
here in reply to a copyrighted
story in the New York Herald

(Pettit) before his graduation."
The Tribune story said the
paper had "irrefutable proof,"
and quoted an unidentified wit

a ball park in Indianapolis last
summer. Stephani held a con

actor and an athlete," the latter

In Los Angeles, Stephani call
