Hemus Feels Cards
Should Be Regarded
Pennant Contender
(This is the- third of IB
dispatches by th major
league managers giving
mid-winter appraisals of
their teams.)
Br SOLLY HEMUS
Manager, St. Louis Cardinals
(Written for UPI)
Houston, Tex. (CPU The
St Louis Cardinals, if we can
come through as we expect to
with a few "ifs" for the club,
definitely should be consid
ered one of the top contend
ers . for the 1959 National
league pennant.
"We're not going to be in
there this year just to get into
the first division, but to win
the pennant. But it would be
too early at this time for me
to definitely predict we will
win it.
The main club to beat again
will be Milwaukee, although
they have never won a pen
nant without Red Schoen-
dienst and probably will have
trouble staying on top witlt-
out him. He's one of the stead
iest infielders in the business
and they will have a tough
time replacing him.
Respects Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh also will be
thought of quite highly with
their well balanced club.
Their pitching has Improved
over last year and they should
be one of the top contenders,
San Francisco also is im
proved and Jack Sanford
should help their pitching
staff. In fact, every club in
the league has helped itself
some and with Schoendienst
missing from the Brave-line
up, there should be a very
tight race for the pennant.
As for the Cardinals, we
need to strengthen our pitch

Leader in
PCC Scoring
Los Angeles-The sharp
thooting of Paul Neumann,
Stanford, Rafer Johnson of
UCLA and Jim Woodland,
Oregon State, today domin
ated the Pacific Coast con
ference basketball statistics
released by the PCC Commis
sioner's office.
Neumann is the leading
scorer, ranks second in field
goal percentage and is third
in free throws while Johnson
is the No. 1 marksman from
the floor and Woodland has
the top percentage from the
free throw line.
The statistics for all con
ference games through Jan.
10 show Neumann with 33
field goals and 22 free throws
in five games f cr 88 total
points and an average of
17.6 per game. Walt Tor
- ranee, UCLA, is second with
a 16.8 average, followed by
Lee Harman, Oregon State,
Doug Smart, Washington, and
Stu Robertson, Oregon, all
tied at third with 16 point
averages.
Johnson 69.2 Per Cent
Johnson has scored on
nine of his 13 field goal at
tempts in three games for a
blistering 69.2 per cent and
the floor shooting lead. Neu
man is the only other play
er above the .500 mark, shoot
ing 53.2 per cent. Woodland
is third, 49 per cent; Robert
son fourth, 48.2 per cent, and
Gary Goble, Oregon State,
fifth, 47.7 per .cent..
Woodland has made 15 . of
16 free throw attempts for
94 per cent and the top mark
in that department. Steve
Kemp, Southern California,
91.4 per cent, and Denny
Crum, UCLA, 87.6 per cent.
Top rebounder is Robert
son with 26 recoveries out
of 177 total opportunities and
a percentage of 14.7 per cent.
Smart, last year's best re
bounder, has a percentage of
14.4 per cent, followed by
Darrell Imhoff California,
and Dale Herron, Oregon,
11.3 per cent and Torrence,
10.5 per cent.
Rounding out the top 10
scorers are Woodland with a
15.2 average, Fitzpatrick,
14.8, Bill Bloom, Southern
California, 13.5, Jim White,
also of SC, 13, and Crum,
12.4.
ing staff. Our starters will be
Sam Jones, Larry Jackson
and Vinegar Bend Mizell.
Jackson is just coming into
his own and should be a big
winner.
Ernie Broglio will be a
bright prospect in spring
training and I believe he will
help us a lot this year, al
though he's never pitched in
the big leagues. He has a good
fast and curve ball. Jim Bros
nan will be our "long man"
in the bullpen. Alex Kellner,
acquired in a trade with Cin
cinnati, will be effective as a
relief pitcher, and is good
against left-handed hitters.
Good Spot Reliefers
We also have Marv Gris
som, whom we got in a trade,
and Lindy McDaniel, both of
whom should be good spot re
liefers. Our infield should compare
well with any in the league,
with Joe Cunningham at first,
Don Blasingame at second,
Ken Boyer at third and Alex
Grammas at shortstop. Lee
Tate still is considered a good
prospect at short.
Our outfield, with Stan
Musial, one of the greatest
ball players I've ever seen
play, in left field, should have
good control over the long
hits this year. We've moved
Musial back to the outfield
from first because I think this
will let ; him play in more
games.
Centerfield still is open for
grabs. We have Gino Cimoli,
Kurt Flood, B. G.. Smith, and
Ellis Burton under considera
tion. Charley James, who
played with Houston last year,
also will get a long look for
the : outfield at spring prac
tice. , .
nouncea in the magazine s
1959 annual, on newsstands
next week. He finished the
campaign with a ,611 perfor
mance average, edging out
Ken Venturi by 13 percent
age points.
The averages are based on
the players' comparative
finishes in every tournament
entered and are similar to
batting averages in baseball.
Venturi Early Leader
Venturi was the leader
throughout the year until the
PGA Championship (July 17
20), where Casper finished
second. Venturi did not com
pete in this event. Casper's
runnerup position put him
ahead of his rival for the first
time.
Actually the turning point
came at the U.S. Open (June
12-14), where Casper tied for
13th and Venturi was well
out of contention. Bill won
the Buick Open the next week
and was a contender in most
events thereafter. Venturi
then slumped, although he
did win the Chicago Glen
eagles Open later. Ken did
not compete after the Hes
peria Open Sept. 18-21, but
Casper played out the rest of
the campaign.
Dow Finsterwald, the 1957
champion, was a strong third
at .574. Arnold Palmer, who
suffered a late summer and
fall slump, placed fourth at
.499. '
