Rolfe Aims For 4th Place
Lakeland, Fla., March 30—(U.P.)-Robert (Red) Rolfe, one of the new-comers to major league managerial warfare, is aiming for a fourth place finish for his Detroit Tigers this year.
"The Red Sox look like the toughest, then Cleveland and the Yankees." Rolfe said. "I don't see any club beating them out, but if any one does, I honestly feel we have the best chance."
However, he pointed out:
wever," pointed out:
"They don't hire you to outfit
fourth or even second. They hire
you to win. So until we are beaten
on the field, nothing that is said
or done on paper is going to take
us out of the race."
He has, he feels, two big problems—finding a second baseman and developing a good relief corps. He had hoped to solve the latter by taking Paul (Dizzy) Trout off the starting list and making the bespectacled righthander, his chief fireman. But those plans may have to be changed unless he can come up with another starter to take the place left vacant when Art Houtteman was seriously injured in an automobile accident.
Second base long has been a trouble spot since peppery Eddie Mayo had such a brilliant year in 1945. Mayo has gone tb Toledo as manager of the farm club. That leaves Eddie Lake, the former short-stop, Conny Berry and rookie Bob Mavis, who hit 309 at Birmingham last year, battling for the spot.
With Houtteman out, Hal Newhouser, Virgil Trucks, Freddie Hutchinson and Ted Gray will be the starting pitchers. All, Rolfe feels, are potential 20-game winners.
First base is open, too, for Rolle is not satisfied with George Vico's hitting. Tony Lupien, obtained from the White Sox, and the veteran Paul Campbell, who has never quite made the grade, are the other candidates with Lupien probably getting the nod to open the season at least.
Rookie Johnny Groth, whom all baseball men agree is heading for sure greatness, makes Detroit's outfield prospects bright. He will open in center with Hoot Evers holding
Joe DiMaggio Will Try Heel In Game Today
St. Petersburg, Fla., March 30—(U.P.)—This could be the most important day of the 1949 season for the New York Yankees—it's the day Joe Dimaggio officially tries out his aching heel.
The "Yankee Clipper" will go into the outfield for the first time this spring for a three or four inning stint against the Cincinnati Reds here.
Dimag flew out as a pinch-hitter Tuesday as the Yankees lost to the St. Louis Cards. 3 to 1.
The Yanks made the sixth cut in their squad when they sent first-baseman Joe Collins to Kansas City of the American association.
Phoenix, Ariz., March 30—(U.P.)-Giant manager Leo Durocher, beset by the same pitching miseries that bedeviled former skipper Mel Ott at the start of last season, had to send his shaky mound staff today against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the hottest team on the citrus circuit.
The Giants still were shaking from the 22 to 9 beating they took from the St. Louis Browns. New York hurriers Sheldon Jones, Monte Kennedy, Ray Poat, and Mario Picone teamed to allow 18 hits for 31 bases 13 walks, three hit batsmen, and two wild pitches. Paul Lehner hit two homers for the Browns and Johnny Mize ditto for the Giants.
The Pirates' 12 to 7 shellacking of the Chicago White Sox at San Bernardino, Cal., Tuesday was their 10th win in the last 11 games. Catcher Clyde McCullough's home run was the big blow.
Bradenton, Fla., March 30—(U.P.)—Erv (two-sack) Dusak, whose weak hitting has all but cost him his job as a St. Louis Cardinals outfielder, will take the mound today against the Boston Braves in a bold bid for a job as a pitcher.
Used mainly in a pinch-hitting role last year, Dusak had only a .209 average.
The Braves were encouraged by the work of outfielder Pete Reiser and pitcher Johnny Sain. In Tuesday's 6 to 3 win over the Cincinnati Reds, Reiser, the ex-Dodger, hit an inside-the-park homer and Sain pitched all the way for a seven-hit victory.
