"Where do I pick 'cm? I pick
om tn win. There is no other
place to finish except on top,
is there?"

"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.
Bill Bowerman

Oregon track coach and ex-Med-ford
high mentor, has been
