In his brief tenure as manager, Frisch has hacked away deadwood until today he boasts one of the youngest squads in the majors. Aside from the pitchers, only one starting regular is older than 28 and. the average age of the team is close to 25. Frisch will enter the season without a definite lineup. He was warned that no regular is sure of his job, no matter what his name or previous feats. For ence he has enough material on hand to take a choice from day-to-day and he claims the men will be shifted in both the outfield and the infield until he finds a combination with a maximum of zip. The Pirate skipper's major problem prob-lem is pitching. Last year only Truett Sewell and Mace Brown were able to win 10 cr more games. This season they again will form the nucleus of a staff of 11. Amoner the regulars are Joe Bowman, Max Butcher, Bob Klinger, Ken Heintzelman, Dick Lanahan and John Lanning. Together To-gether these eight men won only 83 games in 1940 but they are the best of thelot. Russ Bauers is still a question "mark. The best prospects among the youngsters appear to be Aldon Wilkie, a southpaw who won 13 and lost five with Seattle last year; Bill Clem-ensen Clem-ensen from Syracuse and Richard Conger from Beaumont. The catching job belongs to Al Lopez whom the Pirates obtained from Boston last season. He will be supported by Virgil Davis, a veteran from last year, and Joe Schultz, who came up as a rookie from Portland in 1940. The infield hasn't jelled as yef but the most probable regular line-up will be composed of Elbie Fletcher at first. Frank Gustine at second, Arkie Vaughn at short and Lee Handley at third. The latter will be pressed by Debs Garrns, a combination third baseman base-man and outfielder who led the "cague in batting last year. A newcomer to this group is Stuart Martin of the St. Louis Cardinals who served as a utility man in all positions last year. A rookie who will be retained as 25-year-old Alfid. Anderson, who was brought up-from Atlanta. The outfield at present is composed com-posed of three right-handed hit ters. Maurice Van Robays is in left, Vince DiMaggio in center and Bob Elliott in right. Against left-handed pitching, Frisch can counter with Garms, Lloyd Wan-er Wan-er and Ed Stewart of San Diego. aWAHI I .toJL'ZJa I wmm Phone 20 CtJ ' 1 1 THE GLOVE FITS ( v II a t : .
