New York, April 20 -(UP)- The ’’new”
Eddie Mathews is a better bet than ever
to give the Milwaukee Braves their sec
ond straight most Valuable Player Award.
Slimmer, more confident, more modest,
the rosoy—cheeked slugger is off winging
\\x. the new National League campaign and
(con' t too next not'mu')
may be ready at bast to join the list of
great young players who’ll dominate the
game through the next decade*
A week ago, he was only a hunch on
the ’’Best Bet” list for MVP honors. His
teammate and last year’s winner, Hank
Aaron, was the popular choice.
But it’s the belief here that Matthews
though a six year veteran, suddenly grew
up in a split second against the Yankees,
on the final play of the 57 World-Series
Philadelphiaj Manager Fred Hanyey re
peated himself today in saying that his
Milwaukee Braves were the team to beat
for the pennant.
With triumphs over Pittsburgh and the
Phillies after an opening-day setback,
the Braves’ skipper stuck by his guns
that the other clubs had to catch him,
thereby joining with pre-season consen
sus, of the experts.
But with expressive caution, taking
no chances on late-season reprisals, the
ilittle Milwaukee pilot wouldn’t pick a
(most dangerous opponent for the rest of
|the way* There was to be no ”is Brook—
|lyn still in the league?” for him.
| ' "i figure us to win. Who do we have
[|to beat?" The.other seven clubs,” was
[^Haney’s answer to his own question. He
pagreed it wasn’t the most original ans
rlwer in the world, but he said that’s the
?way he felt about it as the Braves open
ed their first road trip.
