Newtpop x I DIVAL baseball managers In the National league, indulging in a bit of wishful thinking, point out that the world champion Cincinnati Reds may fall in 1941 because big Paul Derringer cant be expected to go on forever. The fact remains, however, that Derringer has quite a few games left in his firing arm, and that he is only one member of the highgrade pitching staff that V The Competition latter four, the Cardinals and the Dodgers 'look to be the stronger. The Cards position, late next September, will depend largely on what the mound staff can do. They were in and out most of last summer, a difficult team to figure. The big four of the pitching staff includes Bill McGee, Lon Warneke, Clyde Shoun and Morton Cooper. Between them they won 55 and lost 43 last year. McGee won 16 and lost 10, Warneke had a 15 and 10 record, Shoun won 13 and lost 11, and Cooper won 11 while losing 12. That record means that the veterans will have to show considerable d improvement and get help from the youngsters if the Cardinals are to make an important bid for the 1941 flag. But with Johnny Mize and the right punch, they cant be ruled out The main pennant war should rest with the Reds and the Dodgers. During the next season Ducky Med-wic- k will be on hand from the opening pitch. Completely recovered from the effects of a bean ball, he wont have any odd noises buzzing in his head. Medwick has plenty of baseball left in his system. Leo Durocher is far from the least valuable of the Dodger assets. A smart hard work-in- g scrapper, Leo is one of the outstand-in- g leaders of game. He hates much to lose that at times his is a fault The Pirates started off in poor fashion last spring, but ended up at a Stronger than normal clip. Manager Durocher Frankie Frisch is another hustling manager, and his 1941 squad will be greatly improved over last years edition. Frisch has strengthened several weak spots, but above all, he has brought a new spirit to the Pirates something the team has needed for too long a time. i-- u e 1 Pattern No. 8853 1 designed lor tze 34. 36, 38. 40, 42. 44, 46 and 48.

Those same rival managers, hoping against hope cant Whitey Moore and one or two others who have been good enough to win two pennants in a row. Walters, too, is no youngster. But he will win his share of ball games in 1941. The way things stack up right now the Reds get a slight nod in the pennantward direction. They have a good infield and a good outfield, and they still have speed. From their list of challengers you can eliminate the Bees, the Phillies and the Giants.

It doesnt seem quite right to class the Giants with the Bees and the Phillies, but they are just as hard to rate among the first division teams with the present lineup. So far as the two leaders are concerned there isnt an overwhelming choice. Larry MacPhail is making every effort to bring Brooklyn a winner and if the Reds show any signs of slipping, the Dodgers will be at their throats. No one team dominates the field, but there are enough good teams to dog the footsteps of Bill McKechnie and his Reds. All of which should make the 1941 pennant race an exciting one. ifAKE up this smart tailored dress in a refreshing Spring d wool, or print, or dark flat crepe with bright buttons.
