Fighting Chance Seen For Cincinnati Reds By LEO H. PETERSEN Tampa, Fla. (U.R) Luke Sewell s task with the Cincin nati Reds looks hopeless so far as the 1952 season is concerned. but despite his thin line of estab lished major leaguers he believes his club has a fighting chance for a frst division finish. He based his belief on the fact that he has added power to his club with the acquisition of catcher Andy Seminick and out fielder Dick Sisler in the big deal with the Phillies. "I know I'm going to have the best catching I've had in my three years as manager of the Reds," Sewell, a former star catcher himself, said. "And Andy will hit the long ball for you, too. Discount the bad year he had last season. He never could get started." Batting Problem Batting power has been Se- well's problem now for three springs He has good pitching, fair defense and speed, but too few hitters who can rattle the fences. Adding the bats of Seminick and Sisler to those of first base man Ted Kluszewski and out fielders John Wyrostek and Joe Adcock, Sewell hopes the club will be able to go out and get bis pitchers a few runs. "We've nevec. been able to do that before," he recalled. Bench Strengthened Sewell also figures that he has strengthened his bench for if outfielders Bob Borkowski, Hank Edwards and rookie Wally Post cannot win regular jobs they will be available for pinch-hit-ting duty. Right now the Reds skipper is experimenting with Borkowski, obtained from the Cubs, and rookie Post, who hit .308 at Buffalo, in center and Wyrostek in right and Sisler and Adcock alternating in left. Sisler plays when right handers are pitching against the Reds and Adcock when the opposing moundsmen are southpaws. The Cincinnati Infield is a light hitting one outside of big Kluszewski at first, and he slumped off to .239 last season. v. . Sewell has been experimenting with Grady Hatton, who never has lived up to his rookie year promise at second, with the vet eran, but brittle, Bobby Adams at third. At short it will be either Virgil Stallcup or Roy McMillan. The latter can field with the best of them' but is a decided liability at the plate. Homer Howell will be the first catcher back of Seminick with three rookies, Hank Foils, Ho- bert Landrith and Joe Rossi battling for the other berth. It probably will go to Landrith de spite his .188 batting average at Buffalo last season. Ewell the Whip Blackwell, Herman Wehmeier, Ken Raf- fensberger and Frank Hiller are the only hurlers in camp who have won starting assignments with Frank Smith, who started out so brilliantly last season but wound up with a 5-5 record, the No. 1 bullpen artist. Three hold-overs Bud By erly, Ed Erautt and Harry Per kowski all have a chance to get into the starting rotation. Stanford Track Team Winner in Three Way Meet Stanford. Calif. (U.R) Stan ford university defeated San Jose State college 89 to 42 in its open ing track meet Saturday and in a triangular scoring won 97.3 points against San Jose's 49 and Fresno State college's 14.7.
