THE PLATTSMOUTH, PAGE FOUR NEBRASKA, JOURNAL' Thursday, April 8, 1948 , The Sports Trail By Dick Lebbs s ; The 1943 majcr league base- ' ball campaign, which opens this month, should provide plenty of fireworks before play is conclud ed in the fall. Three teams in the American League and four in the National League enter into the pennant picture. In the junior circuit, don't bet too heavily against the Boston Red Sox. The 1948 club is strong er than last year's squad. Winter swaps with the St. Louis Browns and Washington Senators have given the Eeantcwners increased hitting and pitching strength. Ellis Kinder and Jack Kramer, former Brownies, transform a mediocre mound staff into a po tentially efficient group. Two other acquisitions, Vern Stephens and Stan Spcnce, will bolster the Sox' defense and offense consid erably. Ted Williams' and Dom DiMaggio's slugging ability will greatly aid the Bosox pennant drive. In Press Parley 1 n qlrl;j4;i (Continued from Page Three) Ezra Leutchens Otto E. Rieckman A. V.

BAKER GROCERY Manley, Nebr. The world champion New York Yankees, with strength at every ncsiticn, are not to be overlooked in this year's scramble. Manager Bucky Harris is counting heavi ly on Frank Shea and reliefer Joe Page to lead the pitching pa rade. Ed Lopat. a mid-winter pur chase from the Chicago White Sox, is slated for front line duty. The Yanks this year have the services cf Charlie KeUcr to aug ment the slugging of Joe DiMag gic. A lightning-fast infield will again feature New York's de fense. Detroit again this year plays a dark horse. They can be dan gerous if Trout, Newhouser, i Trucks and Hutchinson have o gocd year on the mound. These four gentlemen are the basis of what could easily be the best pitching staff in either league. Impotency at the plate is De troit's biggest weakness. National League prospects are more closely bunched. Brooklyn, St. Louis, Boston and even New York are the teams to be con sidered. Brooklyn, with fiery Leo Duro cher back at the reins, may rip through the opposition like a tornado. The current Dodgers are a fine team with good hit ting and pitching. And keep an eye on the Bums' young fire baller, Rex Barney. He is due to surprise many followers of the game. With the same club as last year, the St. Louis Cardinals are still a top contender IF they get started on the right foot. Musial, Marion and Slaughter could lead the Redbirds to a NL bunting, but they must play ball from the first game on. The slugging power of the Giants gives them an outside chance. While Mize, Marshall, Cconer and Thomson are likely to slam plenty of balls out of the pari, New York's possibilities are weakened by poor pitching. However, good th-s- teams mav be. Boston will wind up with the pennant in '4?.. The Braves are shot thru with good hitting, fielding and pitching. Johnny Sain and Warren Spahn are due for another great yci.r on the mound. What's moiO. Boston's Bob Elliott was voted the National Loop's most valu able player cf 1947. So come October, Bostonians will be deliriously happy. Th:,y can take in the World Series, no, only at Fenway Park, but also at Braves Field. That's right. An all-Boston series is in the 1943 schedule.
