Writer Selects Yankees, Bums
New York —(U.P.)— This will at least settle the question of who is the number one April fool—and why confine yourself to one month—but today seems like the perfect spot for Fearless Fraley to pick the New York Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers as the 1953 pennant winners.
Anybody who knows a bunt from a punt realizes that you don't take this step lightly. To eat this kind of chalk you have to be in superb condition.
Which, naturally, called for a quick bit of spring training so I wouldn't lost my standing as an "expert."
Team-by-team they'll finish in this manner;
American League: 1. New York Yankees; 2. Cleveland Indians; 3. Chicago White Sox; 4. Philadelphia Athletics; 5. Boston Red Sox; 6. Washington Senators; 7. St. Louis Browns; 8. Detroit Tigers.
National League: 1. Brooklyn Dodgers; 2. Philadelphia Phillies; 2. New York Giants; 4. St. Louis Cardinals; 5. Chicago Cubs; 6. Cincinnati Reds; 7. Milwaukee Braves; 8. Pittsburg Pirates.
The Yankees, bolstered by the pitching of Whitey Ford and comebacking Ewell Blackwell and Johnny Sain, still face another stretch battle with the Cleveland Indians. Barring lockjaw for Casey Stengel, they should make as much celebration noise as usual.
Cleveland has everything to win except an infield with hands. Even with their misters five-thumbs they have the power and pitching for second place.

He has been at MU for six years and has compiled a 96-70 record. His overall coaching record, including jobs at Maryville Teachers college, his alma mater, and Jackson, Mo., High school, is 298-12.
Stalcpul learned his basketball while playing under Iba at Maryville in the early 1930s. Like Iba, he specializes in a ball control type of offense which features tight defensive play.
The Jayhawkers fielded one of the most surprising teams in KU basketball history during the 1952-53 season. Kansas, stripped of all but one of its starters from the 1952 NCAA championship crew, dropped its conference opener to Oklahoma by 15 points, but then came back to win 10 of 11 league games to cop the Big Seven title.
The Jayhawkers swept the NCAA regionals in Manhattan by defeating Oklahoma City and Oklahoma A&M, shelled Washington by 28 points in an NCAA semi-final tilt in Kansas City, and fought powerful Indiana to the wire before losing 69-68 in the national championship contest.
IM Office Sending Blanks for Sports
Entry blanks for all spring intramural sports are being sent out this week by the intramural office, intramural director Walt Mikols said today. They must be returned to him by April 17.
Softball competition will begin April 20. The Phi Gams are expected to field a strong nine in defense of their championship. Other spring sports being offered and the defending champions are golf, Delta Tau Delta; badminton, SAE; horseshoes, Alpha Phi Alpha; handball, Beta Theta Pi, and tennis, Phi Psi (fall) and Kappa Sigma (spring).
Correction Please
Monday's story on the intramural swimming meet incorrectly listed Phi Delta Theta one of two teams to place six men each in the IM swimming finals. Phi Gamma Delta was the correct squad. The Phi Gams won the championship Monday night by piling up 43 points, nine more than the second place team, Phi Kappa Psi.
College Teams Loom As Source For Majors
Minneapolis —(U,P) —A former major leaguer now coaching college baseball said today college teams might replace the minor leagues as the chief source of big league talent within the next 10 years.
Dick Siebert, former Philadelphia Athletic first baseman, thinks that "the minors and chain-store baseball are dying."
"It wouldn't surprise me to see at least five major leagues operating in the next 10 years. When that happens, colleges will step in to develop baseball talent," he said.
Siebert now earns a living by coaching the University of Minnesota baseball team. He also has radio and television sports shows in Minneapolis.
"College baseball has come a long way since World War II. . more emphasis on seeking good coaches ... and a higher place in the college athletic setup." Siebert said.
He named the Philadelphia Phillies' Robin Roberts, out of Michigan State and the winningest pitcher in the major leagues last season, the New York Giants' Alvin Dark of Louisiana State and Dick Groat of Duke as outstanding examples of college boys who made the jump from the campus to the majors.
"There have been others and will be more college baseball comes to foreground."
A first baseman with the Philadelphia Athletics until seven years ago, Siebert said fans aren't satisfied with minor league baseball today because of radio and television.
Further, the majors lose friends when they indiscriminately swap players from the majors to the minors. he said.

New York —(U.P.)—A convincing victory over veteran Charles Williams hoisted Johnny Saxton's unbeaten string to 40 fights today, but it didn't help much to boost his prestige.
The unconquered Brooklyn welterweight entered the ring at Brooklyn's Ridgewood Grove a solid 3-1 favorite over the ring-wise Williams, who had held him to a split decision on Feb. 24. Saxon
Kansas piled up 662 net yards against Washington of St. Louis back in 1923. That grid record still stands as the top KU yardage total.
