The Cardinal leader has 19 good- - pitchers and 11 good outfielders waiting for the spring call. Billy needs more ball players Just as Minnesota needs more tackles or guards. But it's different in 14 othlooking er camps. and Leo Duro-chunderstand they can't afford to etand pat, even on a pennant winner. Their World Series pitching staff averaged over 33 years. The Dodgers need another good pitcher, at least one more good and one more hitting outfielder, to defend their place against a Cardinal club that should be better in the next race. The Reds still have a great pitching staff on hand, with Vander Meer and Riddle due for even better seasons, plus Walters and Derringer and a rookie or two. This will be Derringer's sixteenth season and at the age of 35 Paul was 35 in October the big Red can't be expected to be what he used to be. But there are more than one or two Red spots that need er improving, which Bill McKechnie un- derstands better than anyone else. What the American league can do to keep the Yan- Paul Derringer kees from winning the 1942 pennant around is something more than we can, figure out this far ahead.

Cold statistics aren't enough to furnish an adequate indication of Cabby's worth to any ball club. The big Irishman is a baseball player through and through. Like any real ball player, he hates to lose. He .lever quits fighting and he expects his team to battle it out every inch of the way. Indianapolis fans will like the oeefy Hartnett. His popularity in Chicago never was questioned. It's true that he lost some of his bluff geniality when he became manager of the Cubs, but conditions at Wrig ley field were not too promising at any time during the Hartnett reign. Gabby had too many problems on his mind and many of those prob lems still remain to be solved.
