Gone are aurh stars as firnt- baseman Charley Kress, second baseman Johnny Lana, outfielders Rob Usher and Tommy Tatum, pitchers Bud Lively, Harry Per- kowski and Jim] Avera and Utility star, Jay Haney. | Back on hand to lend punch in 1948, This Seison and experience are Rusty Burns, the league's leading slugger and home run king who batted in U'3 runs last season while playing iluable right field, and the hrva Billy Capps, steady-playing third baseman who [hit .295 and was particularly rough in the play- •ffs. - Also on hand from the fine 1948 team are pitchers Bud Byerly, who topped the league in lowest earn ed runs with 2.13 and young Dave Jolly, used mostly in relief chores when called in from Columbia of the Sally League. The same willey leadership will be provided by A1 Vincent, senior pilot in the league and a fellow who is generally recognized as a master at getting a smart and hustling effort out of youngsters and vets atikei : i This 'apeoming 1949 race is ex pected to be tougher and closer than was r the case list year when Fort Worth, Tulsa and Houston clinched play-off sports early with only the fourth-place battle between San Antonio aind Shreveport carrying right down . to the final day of competition to find the aports copping the fourth position by one-half a game. Cincinnati has already moved to supply some replacements of nerience and Quality ip Ci Dewey Williams and Pitcher my Hughea, both of whom help this young chib.

He replaces Elbie Flint who went to Syracuse in a trade and who then was drafted into the army. Donahcdian may not hit* much but bis fielding leaves little to be desired. Thus, through the middle, with Williams behind the plate and Donabedian at short, the Oilers arc lacking only a polished second* sucker. He could be oh hand right pow in youthful Jack Baumef, Broken Arrow, Okla., ace who bat ted .818 for Ogden in the Class C Pioneer League last season. The youngster has the best arm in camp and is perhaps- the fastest man on the squad. He’s a glittering Major League prospect but might be too much of a gamble in double A right now. Also on hand for infield duty is Roy McMillan, another youngster up from Tyler of the Big State Class B Circuit where he hit .307 and Was considered the best in fielder in the league. The first base problem is the most difficult right new with only gangling Joe Adcock, a Columbia, Sally League, star on hand at the bag. Adcock, certainly a prospect, might be a year away from this competition but he’s the only pos sible man for the post at the pres ent writing. With only Burns holding over in the outfield, the fly-shagging chores right now kre in the hands of Jod Beeler, a .230 hitter with Syracuse; Frank Davis, who bat ted only .238 for the same club in the International League, and young Fletcher Robbe, a gradu ate of the Columbia Farm where he tagged Class A Sally League pitchers at the gait of .295. He looks like the best of the lot. Possible pitching personnel now in camp, along with Hughes, By erly and Jolly, are Frank Smith, 21-game winner at Cblunkbia; Ken Polivka, who won 14 for Denver in the Western League, and the rookie Dewey Jacobs, who won 16 for Ty ler last season.

PHOENIX, ARIZ.-Lon Warneke, who turned in a pitcher’s glove for an umpire’s uniform, nixes the idea that a baseball arbiter loses friends. Preparing to start his first sea son in the National League, War- neke’s views are just the opposite. “If you do a good job on the field everyone will be satisfied,” he maintains. “All umpire doesn’t have to lose contact or disturb his relationship with the players or his friends in the sport.” To him umpiring stands as the “next best thing to playing your self.” The old Arkansas Humming Bird, who quit as a player ih 1944, recalls some difficulty while going through the transi tion from player to umpire. ‘'When 1! started umpiring, there were tiipes I'd forget myself and anticipate the next plky. You can get into trouble doing that and I learned to take things as they come, follow the ball and be ready for anything."

If they are counting on iny boys to be lulled into c6m- plaeency, they have another think com ing. As a matter of fact, they are more determined than ever to win. They alre eager to show that last year was no fluke.” Billy bases his optimism on the following: , “First, Dark will start the season as a proven major lea gue shortstop instead of an un certain rookie wondering if he can make good. Second, our out field is more solid with the addi tion of Pete Reiser from Brook lyn and the return of Himmy Russell. Third, the development of Verne Bickford into a starter r&m* SHORT DOG STORY KIEL, Germany—i/P-f-A dog held up a football (soccer) match here. The dog ran off with a spare pair of shorts.

A veteran of 14 campaigns in the majors, Warneke turned in 192 victories against 120 defeats.
