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-

Only two , pitching spots are
sat the veteran lefty. Warren
Spahn, one of the best in the
game, and Vern Bickford, who
won only 11 last season.
Behind them as starters
Holmes has such holdovers as
Jim Wilson, who has looked very
good this spring. 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.
For relief, Holmes has four
rookies, all up from Milwaukee,
whom he believes "may fill the
bill." 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.
