Si 6 MAIL TRIBUNI, MJfor, On., Braves Should Have Golid Team in 1959 (Thii is the first of 1ft dispatches by lb major league managers giving mid - winter appraisals of their plans.) By FRED HANEY Manager, Milwaukee Braves (Written for UPI) Los Angeles -(LTD- Milwau kee should have a good, solid team again this year when the National league season starts if we are lucky and avoid the injuries that caused us so much trouble in 1958. But we will miss that spark-plug-that come through guy Red Schoendienst. I know he will be rooting for us and you can bet the entire Milwaukee club is pulling for him. Even though Red missed a lot of action, his presence even on the bench was an as set to us. He's a great com petitor and I'm looking for ward to having him back with the club in 1960. Stronger on Mound If all goes well, we should be stronger on the mound this year than we were in 1958. Obviously Lew Burdette and Warren Spahn again will be the mainstays of our staff. But the Braves will have some good youngsters with a year more of experience like Carl ton Willey, Joey Jay and Juan Pizarro. They should be ready to take their regular turns. Gene Conley was probably the most unlucky pitcher in the majors last year. He pitch ed wonderful ball but some how the team didn't win when he was throwing. That should n't happen again. I can't remember a team I managed that had so many Injuries in the early part of the season. We didn't get to use Bill Bruton until about half the season was over. And Wes Covington was in bad shape all season but still was a great asset. Hank Aaron, of course, was a real help and I look forward to another good season for him. Infield Looks Good Mel Roach did a tremen dous job for us in the infield until he hurt his leg and he RAY FIGHTS MARA VILLA Chicago - (UPD - Sonny Ray doesn't know about any "weaknesses" in . his light heavyweight opponent, Roque Maravilla, before the TV cam eras tonight, so he'll make up his strategy as he goes along to try for a victory to retain his 6th place ranking among the 175 pounders.- Ray, though he was beaten in his last out ing by Tony Anthony, was an 8-5 favorite to defeat the Boise, Ida., fighter.

Wene-y, January W, t3 should be back strong to fill the gap caused by the loss of Schoendienst this season. And we have such veterans as Ed die Mathews, Joe Adcock, Frank Torre, Johnny Logan and Felix Mantilla. So the infield looks to be in pretty good shape and maybe this year I won't have to use my infielders in the outfield so much because of injuries there. Behind the plate Del Cran dall and Del Rice will be our mainstays as usual.
