Although president Branch Rickey hasn't recovered sufficiently to name Leo's successor the season definitely will open In Broklyn and in every other big league town.

i Two Persons Injured In By ram Accident Two JacKsonians were placed in a local hospital last night as a result of injuries received in an accident occuring near Byram around 5 p.m. The extent of injuries suffered by the accident victims, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Hamilton of 314 'South West street, were, not determined last night, according to the attending physician. METAL WALK-IN COOLERS SELF-SERVICE DAIRY REFRIGERATORS REACH-IN REFRIGERATORS FISH-POULTRY DISPLAY CASES to Two months of spring training have produced the usual quota of surprises but none created such a stir as the promotion of Jackie Robinson from Montreol to Brooklyn.

Robinson, the first negro in modern major league ball, will open the season with the Dodgers possibly as the starting first baseman. Nobody expects him to approximate his sensational ,349 year with Montreal, but many astute baseball men think he can make the grade. Exhibition games have revealed nothing to shake the general belief that the St. Louis Cardinals and the Boston Red Sox are heading toward another world series date, Joe Cronin has come up with some new pitching help from rookies Mel Pamell and Fritz Donsh to augment a sound staff. Power remains the basis of the Boston cluo and, with Ted Williams apparently headed for a great season, there is nothing to fear in that direction.

Detroit and New York are generally expected to be contenders although neither figures to have enough unless the Red Sox stumble badly. The Tigers have not been able to replace Hank Oreenberg'4 power and the Yanks have been handicapped badly by the absence of Joe Dimaggio. The Cardinals are the class of the National, stronger than they were last spring but the condition of Terry Moore and Whitey Kur owiskl has been cause for some concern. Both veterans underwent off-season operations and have geen alow rounding into shape. Eddie Dyer looks for definite pitching aid from George Munger.

Brooklyn generally was conceded to be the team with a real chance In the National until L'affaire Durocher. Now the Brooks have no manager. If the experts are conceding the flag to the Sox and barring injuries to key men. the fans definitely are not following suit. The hope that springs eternal In the followers of all ifl teams Is expected to account for another profitable year at the box office where last year's 18.567,465 total stands as an all-time high.

Seldom has baseball approached opening day with so many unanswered questions about star players and contending teams. Just a few that must be decided are: 1. Can Jackie Robinson make the grade? 2. How will Brooklyn do without Leo Durocher? 3. Can National pitchers stop Hank Greenberg? 4.

How long before Joe Dimaggio will be able to play regularly? ft. Can Ted Williams, hit to left? 6. How high can Billy South-worth take the Boston Braves? 7. Will Mickey Vernon It a-galn? 8.. How much did Bobb Feller's striket record take out of his arm? 9.

Is Clint Hartung ready? 10. Are the Phillies out of the cellar to stay? Five new managers will help provide the answer to some of those questions -with the most Important Brooklyn still to be named. nn DOUBLE Hearing Comfort Henry T.

As Long As They Last! Peps May Be Peppier Than Last Season imam ties and Dawson expects to start him at the second sack. Backstoppers Pat Dove and Edgar Holton will share the work heir nd the plate. Lawson has placed former first sacker Don Pries on the hot corner and chances are he will be on 3rd base come the opening day. Pries was also purchased from Bakers-ficld. The shortstop post is overpopu-lated at present, with Pete Spat-tafore and Pat Purcell both in the running for the spot.

If Epatafore gians the score sheet listing, Pur-cell will be used as a utility fielder. Pitching for the Peps may turn into a problem but it won't be because of a lack of hurlers. Bill Davis, Lou Palmisiano, Paul Thomas, and Marion Floyd are the outstand ing probables. Other candidates aie James Farmer, Ken Duncan. John Adie, Mike Loeffjer, Rudy Okieson and Paul Stevens.

By DICK SMITH Sports Editor Of the Meridian Star Meridian, April 13 ttflThe only pre-season comment forthcoming Irom General Manager Jack O'Con- ner' ol the southeastern league's Meridian Peps goes like this: "We will have a hustling baseball club." The Peps have never been In the upper division of the League standings since their entry but, In the wigwam of the Cleveland Indians tins year, some promising rookies have been added to the Meridian club and it looks as though the Peps may be peppier than usual. The team, which opens its season against Pensacola Tuesday night, is being managed by Roxie Lawson. former Detroit Tiger pitcher who is making his debut as a manager after remaining out of baseball since 1941.
