Cleveland And Brooklyn Should Win, Fraley Says
By OSCAR FRALEY
New York, March 24—(U,P)—Inspired by a trip to the vegetable store for oranges and a fast four minutes under a sun lamp, Fearless Fraley completed his personal spring training today by picking the Cleveland Indians and the Brooklyn Dodgers to win the 1949 major league pennant race.
Being 1,000 miles from the nearest$4 major league player (barring the two and a half in federal court) makes it a lot easier than trying to come up with a prophecy under the palms. You aren't handicapped by the views of experts, managers, coaches and scouts who are so close to the woods they can't see the trees.
Getting there first is important, too. From the rate at which players are being injured it will be a minor miracle if any club is able to field a full team on opening day. Coming up with this early scoop thus gets a day's work done before there are any scratches.

Having thus put the famed Fraley kiss of death on the Indians and the Dodgers, we can move on to other important news.

With the creaking Cardinals also destitute in the delivery department, the national league also faces a two-team race between Brooklyn and the defending Boston Braves. But Brooklyn's kiddie corps should be about ready by now to keep what it had won and let slip last year.
Cleveland is stronger even than last year, while the Red Sox still are looking for a pitcher who can reach the plate underhand. Power won't compensate for that weakness. So once more it's over the hill to the poorhouse.

Walcott To Meet Charles In June
Chicago, March 24—(U.P.)-Jersey Joe Wailcott and Ezacc Charles will meet in an outdoor bout here in June for the N.B.A. version of the heavyweight boxing title, promoter Joe Louis announced today.
Louis, boxing director of the International Boxing club, refused to name the site of the bout. Chicago's outdoor arenas are Soldier and Wrigley field and Comiskey park. The retired heavyweight champion said his group would not reveal the site or date until a license is obtained from the Illinois Athletic commission.
Louis said Chicago was chosen "after carefully considering substantial offers from Detroit, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Cleveland, and Cincinnati." The highest bid was made by Cincinnati promoter Sam Becker, who guaranteed a $500,000 gate, Louis said.
FOOD CAN BE ELEGANT
The International Boxing club has contracts only with Walcott and Charles, but has verbal agreements with featherweight champion Willie Pep and contender Sandy Saddler, he said.
