PACE EIGHT HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS OREGON TUESDAY, APRIL 6, 1948 With Joe McCarthy At Helm, TheJRed Sox Are Loaded This Season BARASOTA, Fla. (NEA)-When the Red Box paid the Browna 1300, 000 for Stephen!, Kramer, Kinder and Hitchcock and threw In aeveral uy named Joe, Oan Topping of the Yankees squawked to CommU aloner Chandler. And when the Senator! obliging ly paued along Stan Spence. the Bosox were loaded like Notre Dame lit football. ;joe McCarthy has always said: "Olve me lour to hit It, three to throw It, and two to make the double play, and I'll win in any league." , , . , . Well. Marse Joe certainly should have Jour to hit It. and then some, Jrrm among Dom DIMaflglo, Pesky. Mele Williams, Spence or Jones, Stephens, Doerr and TebbetU. Junior Stephens and Bobby Doerr will make the double play. That leaves pitching the only pre scription to be filled. McCarthy has Dobson, Kramer, Kinder. Oalehouse. Johnson, Dorlsh. Parnell and the recruits. Earl Toolson. Cot Deal and the left-handed Windy McCall and Mi-urlce McDcrmott. These are ex clusive of the Big Three of 1046 that flopped the Boston Americans from the top to third place last season. The 1948 Bed Sox are a striking example of the fact that a club never has enough good pitching. Straightening out the pitching Is McCarthy's main Job. and the as signment couldn't be In better hands. Marse Joe develous and su pervises sllngers like Ben Jones handles horses. Thorouchbreds run klndlv for Plain Ben. Pitchers pitch well for McCarthy. The Buffalo Irishman still doesn't know, however, whether the Big Three of 1946 will be any more ef fective this trip than they were last. vJPff - fx? J 'j j4? johnny Pesky, Junior Stephens, Bobby Doerr, Stan Spence, left to right, form new Red Sox Infield. Chatting vith McCarthy, who will tell you the right time any time provided you see his watch, you gather that he hasn't much faith in Tex Hughson. who underwent two operations calculated to correct his ailing arm. Mickey Harris' arm appears sound again, and there have been encouraging signs. Boo Ferriss has been so wild that he has had to aim his pitches. Outside of the pitching. McCarthy appears to have the winning com bination which he has usually man. ased to bob up with down through the years. Spence and Jake Jones will al ternate at first base depending on the opposing pitching. Johnny Pes ky shortly will be perfectly at home at third base. With skillful guidance and the canny McCarthy playing to his ego. Ted Williams Is sure pop to have a terrific year, easily could be the illf-foieiu-e.

Behind him are Babe Martin, up from To ledo and smacking a long bull, and Matt Hatts. who spent last trim with Toronto. The reserves are all right. Young Inflrlder Bill Goodman, for exam ple, hit 389 for Atlanta In 194(1 and .340 when switched from the out field to shortstop In Louisville last summer. Tills Hub outfit has sufficient sliced, power and a friendly left field barrier at home. tinder McCarthy, the Bosox will hustle and win. or else. He knows no other wav. For those who mlKlit have had their own way under Joe Oronln and elsewhere, the picnic Is over. And what ballplayer doesn't want to win. Something generally overlooked In annlvailng the 1H4H Red Sox Is the 61-year-old McCarthy's health. The wlnnlngest nummier of them all reallv works at his trade, and the condition of his gall Madder is about as Important to the Tom vnwrry fortunes as any other one thing. Meanwhile, interviewing the man ager of the Red Sox will consist "t nothing more than a lot of dumb answers to as many dumb questions. But. rest assured, the Bosox will not play dumb baseball with Joe McCarthy running the works.
