(U.R) Rog ers Hornsby, who drove himself relentlessly until he became the vaato.t rloht.hnnripH hitter in history, will never be satisfied until the once-hapless St. Jouis Browns become the best team in the American league. "I don't think it will take too long, either," declares the blunt Hornsby "My players are hus tling and thinking in terms of winning. "Where do I pick 'cm? I pick om tn win.

"Where You Buy Quality for Lett" ART HALL BILL LAIR of Texas league in 1950, copped the flag with Seattle of the Pa cific Coast league last year and is convinced he can win with the Browns. Few expurts agree with him, but he doesn't pay them the slightest bit of attention. Hornsby will attempt to win with a team that is built around vetrean Shortstop Marty Marion and a group of highly-advertised rookies. Marion, who man aged the Cardinals last year, has looked brilliant this spring like the grounder-grabbing 'Mr. Shortstop" of yore but the rookies have looked ordi nary. Still, Hornsby isn't a man who gives un easily. Rivera Hustles The first-year men he Is de pending on are Outfielders Jim Rivera and George Schmees. Third Baseman Leo Thomas and Catcher Cint Courtney. Rivera, the most valuable player in the Pacific Coast league last season, never has hit less than .355 in his three years in the minors, but he will have rougher going in the big time. He hustles every second he is on the field and he runs and throws superbly, but his hitting has left something to be desired. Ned Carver, the club's 20 game winner, has pitched flaw lessly in several games while Lefthander Tommy Byrne looks as if he may have conquered much of his wildness. Some of the younger pitchers like Bob Mahoney, Pete Taylor, Bob Cain, Hal Hudson and Lou Sleatcr have turned in smooth jobs, while Veterans Cliff Fan nin, Gene Beardcn and Satchel Paige also have impressed.
