Orlando, Fla., March 1.—Even though his infielders and outfielders will not report for another week, Manager Joe Kuehl of the Washington Senators today launched spring training concerned chiefly about a replacement for Buddy Lewis.
Two rookies for the Class B Big State league in Texas rated top consideration for the job today--25-year-old Dean Stafford from Greenville and 23-year-old Larry Drake from Sherman-Denison.
The North Carolina right fielder has decided to sit out the 1948 campaign, leaving a big gap in Kuhel's plans.
