The pleasant skipper has spent;
39 | years in the game, including,
five years as a major league catch-1

That’s high praise, but most sin

this year can’t help but be Silk

The Pirates aren’t merely aim
ing at getting out of the cellar,
however. They’ve set their eyes on
the first divisibn, and niaiiy folks
think they’ll make it. , L

Bonham, Ray OstermuellCr, Nick
Strincevich, Elmer; IRiddle and a
coterie of ex-Brooklyns, Vic Lom

The outstanding rookie, is Bob
Chesnes, a $100,000 purchase; off.
his 22-8 season with Lefty O’Doul’s
San Francisco club last year. Ches
nes had a few chips removed fiom
his elbow during the winter but
appears to be all right now.
Pride of the Smoky City., of
course, is the outfield, with Ralph

lake. Max West and Joe Grace.
Grace came front! Washington
and West is back in the big time
after swatting 43 homers for San
Diego in the Coast League. ; \
The infield is new in a sense, but
Meyer seems unworried about it.
Eddie Stevens, a sagging rookie,
replaces Hank Greenberg at first,
a keystone combination of Rom-
anus Basgall from Fort Worth ahd
Stan Rojek, from Brooklyn, while
