Boston Pilot Will Depend on Kids Br LEO H. PETERSEN Bradenton, Fla. (U. Tom my Holmes, in his first full sea son as manager of the Boston Braves, has decided "to sweat it out with kids" this season, even if they cost him ball games. "We are building for the fu ture," he explained, "and while we aren't conceding anything to anyone, it may take our club a year to jell. We finished fourth with what we had last season and they don't pay off on any thing but first place. So, it was imperative we get some new blood. "That's why I'm going with the kids as far as I can, even though their mistakes may be costly ones. When you are look ing to 1953 and 1954 you have to expect to take a few lickings in your rebuilding year and that's what 1952 is going to be for us." Club Sized Up From what he has seen of his prize rookies, he sizes up his club this way: "We are 100 per cent improv ed in speed and bench strength and our infield will be 25 per cent stronger than last year. I'm satisfied with my outfield of Sid Gordon, Sam Jethroe and Wil lard Marshall, and pitching should be sur best department, even with the loss of Chet Nich ols to the armed services. Our catching is fair." The veteran Walker Cooper and Ed St. Claire, who hit .282 as a rookie last season, will di vide the catching, with Paul Burris, up from Milwaukee, the No. 3 man. Only one infield position is get Earl Torgeson at First Base although if Bob Elliott comes to terms he may start the season at third. But Rookie Ed Math ews, a fine hitter but erratic fielder, and Bill Klaus, a good glove men but weak hitter, are battling for the job right now. Cusick Short At short, it probably will be John , Cusich, the light-hitting, but fine fielding shortstop, ob tained from the Cubs. Another newcomer. Bill Reed, who hit .311 at Milwaukee last season, is competing against Roy Harts- BASEBALL THURSDAY EXHIBITIONS Cincinnati (N) 9. Boston (A) 1 Philadelphia (Nl 3. Detroit f A) 1 New York (A) 8.

Max Surkont and Dave Cole; and Rookie Gene Conley, the six-foot, eight-inch fire-balling righthander who won 20 games at Hartford last year.

They are Maynard Thiel, a J4-game winner; Virgil Jester, who wonTl3; Dick Hoover, with a 5-4 record, and Ernie Johnson, a 15-game winner. Explorers Eye ean Jaunt Europe Philadelphia (U.R) Coach Ken Loeffler said Friday his La Salle college champions of the National Invitation basketball tournament will go into the U.S. Olympic trials against tough St Johns Saturday lully aware they are "only two games away from a trip to Europe.
