Yanks Well Equipped
CASEY STENGEL, the Professor,
was caught in what looked to be
deep thought. Naturally, he was
thinking about the Yankees, since
Casey and the Yankees will be all
rolled up together this season.
“Our outfield,” he remarked, “is
well set. The best. DiMaggio, Hen
rich, Lindell, Keller and others. We
have a chance for good pitching
with Raschi, Por
terfield, Reynolds,
Shea, Page and a
few more.
“Catching un
certain. Infield
can’t hit. We’ve got
to find greater in
field offense—more
runs batted in. We
were far in back of
the Indians and Red
w '“Ji
Grantland Rice Red Sox ln that de .
partment last year. Far back, as
far as the infields are compared.'*
This led to a comparison of the
five leading teams. It figured up
like this:
Cleveland Indians —Fine outfield:
better infield; best pitching in base
ball plus good catching. Stars such
as Boudreau. Gordon, Doby, Mitch
ell. Bearden, Lemon and Feller.
Plenty of power.
“The Indians shape up as a very
tough club to handle,” we said. “Is
this about right. Professor?”
“That is entirely right.” Casey
said “A very tough outfit to handle,
offensively or defensively. The team
to beat—if you can.”
This took ns to the Red Sox.
High-class outfield headed by
Williams and Dom DiMaggio.
Even better infield with Good
man, Doerr, Stephens and
Pesky. Ragged, uncertain pitch
ing. Below Indians, Yankees and
Athletics in this respect.
What about the Athletics? Fair
outfield—fair infield. Both below
Indians and Red Sox. Pitching high
class. Might be better than last
year with catching, close to
Yankees.
What is the Tigers’ ranking? Red
Rolfe has a good outfield, terrible
infield and first-class pitching. He
must improve the infield, just as
the Yankees must. Kell is a fine
ballplayer. Should be better than
he was last year. Red Rolfe is due
to become a smart, hustling lender
and will get more life and fire into
his squad which has been a dead
outfit.
Professor Stengel looked over
this report. “I guess it’s about
right,” he said “From what I’ve
read and heard, we’ve got a job
ahead in handling the Indians
and Red Sox. Especially the In
dians. They are strong every
where.
“If Bob Feller should happen to
have one of his big years—one of
his 20-game years—it might be dis
couraging. It will be a tough league
this summer. Can you imagine a
world-series winner being strength
ened—improved? And quite a bit?”
• • •
Help from Bill Dickey
“We’ve got plenty to do,” Stei gel
continued. "We may need two or
three infield improvements. This
has been a good infield, defensively,
but a poor one offensively.
"I’m counting a lot on Bill Dickey.
Bill can help our catching a lot. He
is a fine teacher —a very patient
type. He can also help our pitching.
Our pitching will need a lot of
thought and work. Vic Raschi can
be a 20-game winner. He has the
makings of a star. So has yoking Bob
j Porterfield.
“Now about Shea. I know a
lot about him. I had him in Port
land. He did a great job for us—
and a big job for New York in
1947. I think he’ll do a big job
again this season.
"Dickey will be a big help to all
our pitchers. In his old days with
the Yankees he was a marvel with
young pitchers. He knew how to keep
them calm and cool. Pitchers like
Atley Donald who could win 10 or
I 12 straight.
"We’ll have to get the best from
every pitcher we’ve got. If we do, it
will'make a killing difference. I
know they’ve got plenty.”
Dickey should be able to bring
quick aid to a valuable piece of
baseball property known as Yogi
Berra. Yogi is a natural hitter—bet
ter than .300, and long range to
| boot. He has a good arm but doesn’t
! know how to throw to second. He
can be made into a better out
fielder than he is. The Yogi is a fine
competitor, more than willing to
learn.
Stengel has another badly-un
derrated ballplayer in Johnny
Lindell. He is better than a .300
hitter who can also hit the big
one—the long one. He is a good
outfielder with a good arm. He
can play first. And he could be
a useful pitcher, which he once
was.
Lindell is one of the best all
around athletes in the game. He is
also the best all-around ball
players—a ballplayer the Yankees,
for some reason, have never given
nis full due.
Take time to work—it is the
price of success.

A Waffle
At a military hospital recently,

"better than anything I can
think of.”
Since the young man was soon
to undergo surgery, the Red
Cross arranged a party in his
honor, at which buttered waffles
were served with homemade
strawberry jam. The patient
thought the waffles the best
he’d ever eaten.
When, a Red Cross worker
visited The patient shortly after
his return from surgery, he
opened his eyes long enough to
say that the waffles had pulled
him through beautifully.

A GENTLEMAN DOESN’T . . .
A genuine gentleman doesn't hog
the road.
He doesn’t occupy more than
half of a streetcar seat.
He doesn’t break engagements,
not even small everyday ones.
He doesn’t make an ungodly
racket around the house.
He doesn’t sling around slighting
remarks about another’s fel
low’s pitching or serving or
punting.
He doesn’t sulk when he gets
licked.
He doesn’t grab the best place.
He doesn’t forget to say, “thank
you.”
He doesn’t talk out of turn.
