Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER RANDOLPH. UTAH SPEAKING OF WHOS SPORTS By ROBERT McSHANE ' RtUated by Wtra Ntwtpapw NEWS Union HpHE veterans of minor league baseball, whose chances ol breaking into the big time circuits were almost nonexistent a year ago, are taking renewed hope. The reason is obvious. Younger players, between 20 and 25, usually are unmarried. In times like these, clubs are hesitant about signing such men. . Uncle Sam has a prior claim to their services. Johnny Nee, veteran New York Yankee scout, admits that baseballs oldsters will claim the attention ol ivory hunters next summer. Nee expects to see a good share of rookies in spring training camps in 1943. At least if the war continues. As I see it, Nee said, we must look for older players those who have families and consequently are not likely to be drafted but who might have a year or two of major league ball in their systems. The high premium which has been placed on youth causes the public and some club owners to forget that quite a few graybeards have made names for themselves in the majors. Wiley Moore, for instance, was 30 years old when he came to the Yankees in 1927. Moore managed to win 19 games and lose only 7 that year. 'Lou Fette and Jim Turner were 30 years old when they hit the majors with the Boston Braves and each won 20 games his first year. Heber Newsome, 32 years old, never had been in the majors until last season. He won 19 games for the Red Sox.

His attitude is based on the matter of players ages. Cleveland, he maintains, wont play the same brand of ball without Feller. The Boston Red Sox cant compensate for the loss of Ted Williams and their young, improved pitchers. The Tigers cant replace Greenberg. The Browns are more fortunate in this respect. They are an older club with more married men aboard. They wont suffer so much from the draft. Every club in the league will be losing men from time to time, but the Browns may lose fewer. The Yankees can stand the loss much better than any other club. They could lose any two or three or .more players and still be the one team to beat. The National league, of course, is faced with the same critical problem. The outcome of the pennant battle may depend on the draft. Many a familiar name will be missing from the rosters when the season opens on April 14. The St. Louis Cardinals have a large share of married men, but also a considerable number of younger stars. Just how many young pitchis ers will be on hand in anybodys guess.
