The sun Is brighter, the palms are greener, the birds Grantland Kit e sing sweeter songs and even the pelicans look more intelligent. For Casey's 1930 answer ts Bring 'em along. Red Sox and all the rest. The Yankees will be set and ready. We are far bettei off than we were a year ago, Casey said How do you figure that one out," I asked. You haven't added a ingle p.ayer." I figure It this way," Casey said. Joe DiMagglo reports in the best condition in many years. 1 never saw Uenrich or Rizzuto look better. Joe Page Is all aet. In addition to Allie Reynolds, Vic Kaschl, Tommy Byrne, Ed Lopat and others, we have Rob Porterfield and Frank Shea, two of our 1949 wounded, bark in harness with their bandages removed. Both expect to be ready. "In my opinion," Casey continued, "Reynolds is going to be a leading star this year. I mean a great pitcher. He could also be a relief pitcher close to Page. The athbig fellow is a fine lete. He was a backtick! star at Oklahoma or one of those Oklahoma colleges Raschi will be among the best again. And I have an idea Tommy Byrne will soon find where that plate Is planted and when he does, look out. He's got amazing stuff "llrres another thing. We've found out we could suffer over 60 wounds and still win. We've discovered we could have most of our team on crutches and still win. Did you know that ilenrich and Berra, three of our top hitters, were only in 19 or maybe It was together all season? "We are bound to have better breaks than we drew last year. Lightning can't hit the same spot 60 times in a season. This means we should have our best men in act'on far oftener than we h&d them year agu. That could make a big difference The 1950 Casey may have a few inner twinges hut outwardly he fairly exudes conlidenee. lies the only manager I know of who is willing to admit openly that he expeets to win. a The Yankee Bench At that moment an ancient looking pelican lighted for a few minutes not so far away. "I only wish 1 was half as smart as that bird looks to be. Casey said. "No one could be that smart " In the course of punching the bag I asked Casey what he thought was the strongest featuie of the Yankees last year. It was "That's easy," he said our bench We ulwavs hud a good man ready for uny gap. No other team had a bench that matched inns Outside of first base, we had Coleman, Stirnweiss, Rizzuto, Blown and Johnson leady for our infield Outside of DiMagglo and llennch, we had Bauer. Woodhng, Mapes and Lindcll for any vacant spot in our outfield The hi nch was ready to give us anything we needed-all good men, too. It makes a big difference what sort of reserves you have. We had good ones, all the time Bauer, Mapes, Wood-linBrown, etc. Anything happened to Berra there was Silvers in 58 games, batting .318. Our pitching anything happened to Reynolds there was Page. Anything happened to Hast hi there was Page. Anything happened to By rne or I.o-pat or Sanford there was Page. "1 guess that's our weakest spot," Our pitchers Casey finally said. had to be relieved too often. No one pitcher should be yanked out of the bull pen 60 or more times in a season. Thats almost half our games. Too many. We've got to do something about that. Raschi wasn't bad that way. But 1 think you'll find Reynolds and Byrne will need less help. "Porterfield is sure he Is O K. and that his arm ligament has healed. Shea says he feels fine, with all his soreness gone. You can't ask a pitcher to show you everything the first day of the spring season. "All in all, Casey concluded, "We have no alibis and no excuses for what happens. 1 think we'll be better than we were a year ago. Don't forget to mention those two words Yankee spirit. That's what won for us a year ago I think it can win again. It will be a much tougher league this time." By BILLY ROSE iTaOiiW ETOJXMT By Harold side-swipe- d LITTLE was dead.

There was, of course, blood on the poker to prove that part of it, but it was what the doc said that gave me the real lead Dead five hours. Well, five hours ago the sun was shining, and a mean old man like Obadiah wouldn't burn oil when the sun was out. Oscar Jones, another neighbor, had come by while Moses was looking in the window. So we discounted Moses as a possible suspect, and went to work on the others who had hated Oba diah.
