Baseball Banter Got word of Bailey Santistevan Jr., who is in the marine corps. Bailey has been pitching winter ball in San Diego for a Brooklyn backed club. He has won two and lost none. The scout for the Bums has tried to sign him but he prefers to wait until his. hitch in the corps is over. He will be on the base team this summer. Kent Peterson the former South high star is in training with the Cincinnati Reds and do-ing do-ing all right. Fred Sanfors, another Utah boy from the Industrial is slated for a starting role on the St. Louis Brown's pitching staff. Ed Husser from Bountiful will be with Brooklyn this year and Leo Day I mean Dorachoer is depending de-pending on him for plenty of work. Chusness and Hensen with Salt Lake last year look like cinches to stay with the San Francisco Seals.
