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.

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.

catcher, who hit .399 In 11)47 after
moving to Fenway Park. Behind
him are Babe Martin, up from To

with Toronto.
The reserves are all right. Young

field to shortstop In Louisville last
summer.

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.

Court Rules
Ball Exempt
SAN FRANCISCO, April 8 ii
The draft act provision that return
ing veterans must be given their
jobs back when they return from
service does not apply to baseball
players, a high court says.
That was the ruling yesterday of
the ninth U. S. circuit court of ap
peals in upholding a federal district
court decision. The case concerned
the Hollywood club of the Pacific
Coast league, which released four
players shortly after their return
from service.
Baseball Is a temporary, seasonal
employment, the court held.
The Seattle and San Francisco
clubs previously lost similar suits in
lower courts. Al Niemiec, second
baseman, won his case against Seat
tle. The San Francisco Seals said they
paid off seven players who sued
them.
