* SPART COMMENT
(Continued from page 1)
Regarding the role lie'll play
this so ason, Leo Durocher remark
ed*: “1 plan to he my nat ural self"
and later said: “I’ve got to be
mighty careful." Chances are
Durocher will he very careful. His
suspension last season gave him a
real scare. He was not sure that
Brooklyn would have him hack.
The Dodgers proved they could win
the pennant without him. In all
fairness to Durocher, they should
a How some leeway regarding his
temperamental outbursts. A man
ager must show fight -- that's
baseball. If an ump calls a bad
decision and Leo dashes out there
with fire in his eye, no one should*
criticise that sart of action. Of
cource if he does battle with an
angry spectator, right or wrong,
it’s conduct unbecoming a major
league manager. Branch Rickey
and even-one seemconfident that
Durocher will be a different man
ager this season -- and a good one
too.
After winning the Maturity.
Flashco definitely will be a threat
in the Santa Anita Handicap Feh.
28. But we doubt that he'll cop
tiiis "Hundred Grandes." On Trust
should' come home the winner. In
the Maturity. Flashco carried 113
as against 125 for On Trust. In
the “Big Cap," Flashco will carry
120 while On Trust gets 121. That
may make quite a difference con
sidering the close finish in the
Maturity.
Navy football team has won two
games in tin last two seasons.
But they're far from being dis
couraged. In fact, they're taking
on one of the toughest assignments
in major collegiate football, meet
ing California. Cornell, Duke,
Missouri, P >nn, Not’-e Dame.
Michigan. Columbia and Army.
That's the so-t of schedule facing
George Sauer who just signed a
fouryear deal to coaciv the Mid
shipmen. If Sauer is as .-mccessful
as he was at Kansas University,
they’ll have to tab him the
“miracle man.”
For the time being the Major
Leagues will not take favorable
action on the proposed 12-team
circuits. And you con almost hear
the bigwig club owners say: “We'
ve got a nice little deal all tied up
why let outsiders in on the take?"
But they will have to expand soon
because public demand will force
them.
When the American League or
ganised in 1900. making 16 major
| clubs in operation, (be population
of this country stood, roughly, at.
J 76,000.000. Today,the population
stands at 140,000.000 -- and we still
have only 16 clubs. The South and
the West Coast are without repre
sentation in the Major Leagues.
They're entitled to it and should
have it - ami' will before many
seasons go by.
"S'
This w ill be the season that will
toll the story as far as the St.
Louis Browns are concerened.
They'll have to muster something
that resembles a winning team.
It's do or - - bo moved* elsewhere
On paper, they look week, still,
there's always a chance newcOni
ers moy surprise. The Browns will
play 40 night games at home
0 more than last year, with a little
luck, the attendance should he bet
ter than in 1947 when only 336,000
paid customers turned out for the
year.
