Show THK BULLETIN. BINGHAM CANYON. UTAH IT MAY interest you to know what various ball players, scouts and managers think about the next two pennant races. Taking a general consensus, here it the vote in both leagues. In the National league, the Dodg-ers are sure to be an improved team, with more experi-ence and greater consistency In pitching. Youth rides faster from midsummer on. But the Cardinals are also much stronger than they looked to be a year ago espe-cially with George M. Cooper Mungcr and John-ny Beazley back to help out Pollet, Breeehcen, Dick- - son and others. The Cardinals look to be the class of both leagues. They have a young hustling star catcher a great pitch-ing staff the best infield in baseball. with Musial, Schoendienst, Marion and Kurowski, and one of the best outfields. They have class and spir-it. They are not getting any young-er and there are still a few "ifs" connected with Terry Moore's knee, the arms of Kurowski and Slaugh-ter, Marion's back and Johnny Beaz-- j ley. But so far, these highly impor-tant cogs seem to be grinding smoothly. The serious experts I've talked to pick Billy Southworth's Braves as the serious threat. "If Mort Cooper picks up where he left off last year," one scout told me, "the Braves can challenge the Cardinals and Dodgers. Cooper is a great pitcher not merely a good one. Southworth is two deep. Elliot will help a' lot. The Braves can be a tough club to handle any time." Cubs for Fourth Place The Spring vote for fourth place goes to the Cubs. After that, it is anybody's scramble, with the Phil-lies, Giants, Pirates and Reds in a hard drive to head the second divi-sion. But the experts are cagey enough to suggest that one of these might reach the first division. The Cardinals are the pick. "By all odds, the best team In baseball," one veteran told me. "Only savage ill luck can let them down. They are all class. The Dodg- - ers will hustle, but they won't out-hust- le this Cardinal team not on the ball field, where they win and lose games." The Dodgers are packed with "ifs" Branca, Barney, Head, first base, third base and Pete Reiser. The only Cardinal "If" Is a few removed, and replaced, bones. The consensus in the American league circuit leans strongly to the Red Sox. I know the Tigers think they will beat out the Yankees. They don't think they can beat out the Red Sox but they figure there's a chance with better pitching, which they might get. And better pitching can pick up a lot. Yanks Need DiMaggio The collapse of Yankee hitting last year, plus the type of spring train-ing they have employed, won't be any big help. Both the Red Sox and Tigers will leave Florida much teams. The iniurv to Joe DiMaggio has been a hard blow. Joe is the Yankee spearhead, There will have to be a terrific up-ward lift on the part of the Yankees to beat out either Red Sox or Tigers possibly to head off the Indians. At this moment, the Yankees are not in any too high favor as pennant people. Russo could make a big difference. Yankee pitching can be O.K., as it was last year, but there must be a big change in Yankee hitting, Yankee spirit, and Yankee hustle. This refers to the Yankees of 19, not the squad getting ready for 1947. But the 1947 Yankee squad must know by now how many games it lost last year through this wrecking fault. A few transfusions of Cardi-nal blood could help more than a trifle. You can bank on Bucky Har-ris, Chuck Dressen and Bed Coni-de- n to handle more than their share of the plot, but they are not out on the field winning games. A Yankee revival could make a big difference, but this means prac-tically the entire team must play better ball outside of Spud Chandler, who is still their best pitcher after some nine years of major league service. Cleveland Has Hurlers The vote we have picked up gives Joe Gordon a good year, possibly a big year, with Cleveland pitching al-ways dangerous. The Cleveland out-field, however, is below par. The Tiger infield isn't any too hot, al-though Kell is close to being the best third baseman in the league. The main job, of course, is sup-pressing the Red Sox, with Ted Wi-lliams, Tex Hughson, Bobby Doerr, Dom DiMaggio and Johnny Pesky. The vote, at this moment, is Cardi-nals vs. Red Sox. The next vote is Dodgers vs. Red Sox. The third vote is Cardinals vs. Tigers. But after all, there is a hot sum-mer on ahead, plus the grind of tVi stretch. i iijflien you meet me at tne train to snow me your report card it must be a corker, eh?"

JjVM U XM WAITING FOR QM1Vj & Sj j A vegetable brush really works better than a dish-clot- h for wash-ing dishes. It removes sticky spots and is easier to keep clean and sweet. Draperies of plain or small pat-terned fabrics look best against a figured wall. On the other hand, figured fabrics go best with a plain wall. A discarded purse makes a dandy first-ai- d kit for the car. Put in the purse the few medical supplies that will suffice in emergencies and keep it in a convenient place. This will keep you prepared for when an emergency arises. When pressing net or chiffon place it between tissue paper. To get a more powerful twist from your screwdriver, place the claw of the hammer over the blade. Then use the hammer han-dle to effect leverage. Cane seats can be tightened by scrubbing with a weak solution of soda and water and allowing them to dry. The solution must not be permitted to come in contact with wood surfaces. A new sashcord should be well stretched before it is installed. Corduroy is a graceful fabric for windows, furniture coverings and bedspreads, we mean the light-weight type, of course. It has both pattern and plainness and takes to wear and cleaning easily. The narrow-wale- d kind looks best for interior work. Colors are general-ly soft. A defective drainboard at the sink can be repaired by sawing a narrow channel in the front face of the board and inserting a thin strip of sheet copper or lead in the groove. Then bend it over th sink. Use brass screws. They d not rust. O STFoRTHArfsijREr (AMD 1 WON'T fwtllo, MUTT.'OrO (POINT BARROW f J .
