iSalem Solons Bidding
For Place In Wl Sun
" SALEM, April 8 WPt Manager
J "Blackjack" Wilson doesn't shed
m much light on the prospects of his
completely remodeled Salem Sena
J tors, but it looks like his team will
a be among the leaders of the West-
ern International Baseball league
in. 1948.
m Wilson performed a miracle last
w year when he brought his weak
2 hitting club almost to the pennant.
It finished third, dropping out in
" the final week. A former Boston
Red Sox pitcher, Wilson master-
minded Uie team into its strong f in-
ish by his work with the pitchers
and his emphasis on strong de-
fense.
J While the Senators haven't had
J much training because of the heavy
spring rains, it appears the club
will be well-balanced.
Vince Lazor. the team's top pit-
cher, and Hunk Anderson, a WIL
J league veteran, will be back on the
J hill. Three other pitchers Gene
Peterson, Buzz Sporer and Daryle
Eliason are back again, but they
J didn't show much promise last sea
v son. Wilson has four rookie pitchers
who might make good.
J In the infield positions, the only
men who played last year are Mel
Nunes, sparkling heavy - hitting
J third baseman and Al Spaetcr at
second base.
Jim Wirt, a California state
league veteran, Is expected to
J strengthen the team at first, a
v weak . spot last year. At shortstop
"will be Joe Gcdzius, a former San
B Diego player who had a good rec
jord with Bremerton.
The new catcher is Buster Mc
jMlllan, a big boy who batted over
,.300 In both the Texas league and
the southern association.
The outfielders are expected to
have lots of hitting power. Dick
Sinovic. who Ust year was both a
wild pitcher and a good outfielder,
is going to give up pitching this
year. Dick Gentzknw had a big year
with Albuquerque last year, and
Chet Hartman was a fence buster
in the California state league. Bob
Cherry, who had a good record with
Denver last year, also Is expected
to report.
The Senators hope to get another
Infielder and a starting pitcher
from the parent Portland Beavers
of the Pacific coast league. The
Beavers aren't very popular around
Salem right now. Before the sea
son opened, they optioned three of
Salem's best players to other
leagues.
They were shortstop Bud Peter
son, and Outfielders Eddie Barrand
Hal Summers. The fans think the
Beavers ought to ''o something for
Salem.
