BROWNS PITCHERS READY, HOLD CUBS TO 3 RUNS IN 3 GAMES Baseball In Mexico Cheering Fans And Cramped Dugouts Dyer Silent Potter To Hurl Opener Here Against Cards On Lineup For Spring Series By a Special Correspondent. KANSAS CITY, April 11. "If we get the sort of hitting we expect, we won't be pushed around by anybody in the 1946 pennant race," Manager Luke Sewell of the Browns said today as he and his charges prepared to return to St. Louis for the spring series with the Cardinals Saturday and Sunday. The Browns leave here at 4:45 this afternoon and arrive In St.

Louis tonight shortly 10 o'clock. Originally, they were scheduled to play the final game of their series with the Chicago Cubs here today, but rain prevented it. Sewell also announced that he had selected Nelson Potter to hurl the opener against the Cardinals Saturday at Sportsman's Park. Sewell had little reason to suspect that the Browns won't get good hitting this season, in view of the way they have been manhandling the Cubs' hurlers.

Jorge Pasquel has a long way to go before his Mexican Baseball League can aspire to the status of the big leagues in the United States.

Two iore contests against quaking minor leaguers today separate the Cardinals from the home lot, and, while these games bear all the importance cf last week's weather report, they could furnish Eddie Dyer with information. Dyer, assuming a Kremlin silence on his starting lineup for the spring series opener against the Browns at Sportsman's Park Saturday, wishes to see more of Terry Moore, for one matter. "I'm starting Terry today," Eddie announced before the clash here with Gus Mancuso's Tulsa Oilers. "I liked the way he ran yesterday over at Oklahoma City, and playing didn't seem to hi.t his sore leg any. Moore may be in six innings or so, and also play against Kansas City tomorrow if all goes welL" Dyer indicated that th very popular T.

Moore, unseen by St. Louis fans since the first two games of the 1942 world series, would open against the Browns if physically sound, but possibly didn't know that the great center fielder performed yesterday despite pains shooting through his left knee. Still "I don't know if 111 be ready or not," Moore said on the train to Tulsa. "Against Oklahoma City I had a feeling like needles sticking me right under the left knee. It's the tendon." As in 10 other games Moore had played before, there was little basis for judging his 1946 form during yesterday's 8-1 Cardinal victory seventh straight against the bush-ers and 20th in 24 more recent tries.

Relieving his No. 1 understudy, Harry Walker, In the sixth. Moore caught one fly that junior could have handled. He walked his only time at bat. But he did propel dirt in old Moore fashion In moving to third when Enos Slaughter, who homered earlier, singled to center in the ninth.

Meantime, the only contests being waged for starting jobs, at first and second bases, remain status quo, at least in Dyer's open mind. Ray (.196) Sanders homered to right with one on in the first, his first four-bagger this spring, and the real article, too. First-base rival Dick Sisler finishing up the game, singled across a run in the ninth. Emil (.203) Verb an, waging a tough and probably losing campaign to hold his second-base job against Lou (.319) Klein, beat out a bunt for the pair's only hit. If all Emil's 14 spring hits were placed atop one another vertically, they might top the Sportsman's Park flagpole.

Grodzicki Makes Progress. One truly encouraging, and also inspiring features of the Indians' subduing aside from the fine stuff Harry (The Cat) Brecheen showed in pitching five innings of one-single ball was the 1946 unveiling of Johnny Grodzicki. The former paratrooper, on cutches seven months ago, has made such progress with his game comeback that he got through the last four innings on a double, three singles and one run. The stouthearted righthander, who still must wear a leg brace to strengthen his shrapnel scarred right leg. still carried a pronounced limp.

But he showed surpring speed, considering his inability to follow through naturally, and had good control. Dyer expects no miracles, but feels big John may recover in time to be of real help before the year ends. Pasquel expanded his hold on the So far this spring the outfielders League, acquiring, in time, ownership of all the ball parks, he says, have done their full share. In the last three games, for instance, which tne Browns have won from the Cubs, the outfielders have collected 13 of the 32 hits amassed by the They pay him 10 per cent of the gross gate for use of the parks, he states. He does not own, he declares, any part of the teams besides the most profitable pair based in Unruly crowds, fraternizing performers, lack of discipline and respect for umpires these are the worst defects.

Pasquel says he Is ironing out the kinks and that the league has advanced immeasurably during the years of his control. Vern Stephens of the Browns and Mickey Owen of the Dodgers who changed their minds about playing for Pasquel were to have added strength and stability to the League, according to Pasquel. Despite their defection the League will forge ahead, Pasquel declares, because new talent, better parks, better equipment and the best that money can buy are to be introduced.

The Cubs have been held to three runs in the last three games.

They'll Get By. Sewell's optimism about his pitching was cooled a bit by tlie loss of Bob Muncrief, who will be out of action at least a month because of a fractured foot. But he still figures the Browns can limp by until he returns. "Muncrief Is the sort of fellow who has a chance to win at least nine times out of 10, the breaks are even," said Sewell. "But fellows like Nelson Potter, Denny Gale-house, Jack Kramer, Steve Sundra, Johnny Miller, Tex Shirley, Sam Zoldak, Stan Ferens and Al Hol-lingsworth should fill the bill until Muncrief's foot is in shape."

Players smoke on the benches, sometimes drink beer during the games. Their condition suffers and they go down in public esteem. Another factor in condition is limited play. Games are played only three times a week, usually bunched at the end of the week. Critics say the performers have too much free time, too much opportunity to indulge themselves.

Travel under the best of circumstances is onerous in Mexico. Long journeys from Mexico City more than a mile high to Tampico at sea level, for instance, take a lot out of the men. Pop Bottles For Umps. Umpires always have been fair game for players and fans. More than one has been mauled.

Pop bottles, cushions and other missiles are used against these unfortunates and on occasion, fists. The Mexican fan is very emotional.
