Tri-City Being Built Mostly on Hopes

Kennewlck, Wash, W The
Tri-City Bravea, under home
ownership and a new manage
ment, are being built mostly
on hopes this year hopes of
catching up with the rest of
the Western International
League and hopes of landing
two more pitchers and an equal
number of hard-hitting outfielders.
As things stand now, they
,have but two pitchers qualified
lor starting roles. They are
Jesse Dobernlc, onetime White
Sox and Cubs reliefer, who was
purchased from Toronto, and
Bob Snyder, 14-14 pitcher for
Vancouver last season.
The rest of the pitching
staff consists of limited serv
ice men and rookies. Top
prospects are Dale Bloom,
Dick Pledmonte, and Marian
Hill, all hurlers from lower
leagues with fair wot ?.oss
records.
The only holdovers are Bill
Kostenbader (0-3) who played
so little he is still classed as a
rookie, and Ken Michelson,
(3-7) reliefer who quit in mid
season. He has been reinstated.
The new playing manager,
Edo Vanni, who was with
Vancouver last season, is the

only outfielder and the only
300 hitter on the roster at xne
present time. Des Charouhas,
305 hitter, has not reported
and has Indicated he Intends
to continue attending the Uni
verslty of Washington. Joe Sea
Use. who has asked for volun
tary retirement, has been put
up for sale along wnn unarou-
has.
Negotiations to buy John
Kovenz, .306 hitter last year,
failed when Kovens (aid he
would not play for the
Braves. He was offered for
sale by Cleveland.
The best hope for a hitter is
Jack Warren, former catcher
for Seattle, but who can fill an
outfield spot. Warren hit .305
for Seattle in 1950 and then
quit to play semi-pro ball when
he did not get tne pay ne
thought he was entitled to.
Defensively, the Braves will
have a strong infield. Vic Buc-
cola, veteran first baseman will
hold down that sack. Vannl has
wide selection for the other
three spots. Ray Tran will fill
one most likely shortstop.
Ernie Sierra, a flashy in
fielder, formerly with Posa
tello, and Terry Carroll,
WSC graduate formerly with
Yuma, Arii., will compete
for second. Tommy Marier,
holdover from last year, will
again be on third. But none
of these players are expected
to be strong at the plate.
The catching spots are also
weU filled. Nick Pesut, last
season's most popular Brave,
will be No. 1 again and Rube
Johnson, who was recently dis
charged from the Army, will
be No. 2.
Most of the Braves' troubles
can be traced to the long ne
gotiations for the sale of the
club by Dick Richards, then
general manager, and other
stockholders. The money-raising
campaign and the dealing
lasted into January and the
Braves were unable to estab
lish a working agreement with
any major league or Coast
league club. .
This means the club haa
had to buy all of its players
outright. The club also faces
the problem of staying under
the salary limit when no
higher classification club is
paying part of the salaries.
Although some $33,000 was
raised through the sale of stock.
this money barely covered the
cost of the club and franchise
and various league fees. Money
to buy players in recent weeks
has come from the sale of ad'
vertising signs and booster
buttons.

the Friday contest was out
fielder Denny Elsasser with a
double and pair of singles.

Injured Gridder
Gets Workmen's
Compensation
Denver VP; A court award
of workmen's compensation, to
an injured football player sub
jected financial aid for ath
letes to searching review Tues
day at Denver University, .
The Colorado Supreme
Court in effect held Monday
that the former gridman, 25-
year-old Ernest Nemeth, was
employed by the University to
play football.
It ruled, in a 8-1 decision,
that he was entitled to weekly
payments of $11.87 for a back
injury already allowed by the
State Industrial .Commission
and upheld In District Court.
The case was appealed to the
Supreme Court by the uni
versity's Insurance firm.
A source close to the uni
versity, asking not to be quot
ed by name, declared:
"I think grants-in-aid and
part time work for students
may be all out now. Under the
ruling a student typist could
fall and break an arm in a
gym class and be entitled to
workmen's compenstion. This
is going to pose a lot of problems."
Nemeth, a former fullback
and line-backer, said his spine
was injured permanently dur
ing spring practice in 1950 in
filing a claim for benefits. He
said the university then was
paying him $50 a month for
work done at the campus ten
nis courts and deducting $10 a
month for meals. He fired a
furnace and cleaned sidewalks
for his room, Nemeth said.

"III. Jff" A
No matter the size or type of truck you need what better proof
could there be that a Chevrolet truck it your best buyl
MOM CHIVIOin TIUCKI IN UU
THAN ANT -OTMlt MAKII
Recently published official registration
figures for the last full year show that truck
users in every single State bought more
Chevrolet than any other make!
It Is difficult to imagine more convincing
proof of Chevrolet's superiority, for such
clear-cut and overwhelming preference can
lead to but one conclusion:
Chevrolet trucks must be better, must
enjoy solid advantages over other trucks.
Such preference must rest on a firm foun
dation of good, sound value. And, of
course, it does as owners of Chevrolet
trucks cap testify.
So before you buy any truck, see how
much more Chevrolet trucks offer you.
