(Special)-A softball meeting will be held here in the city hall Tuesday, April 9,1 I starting at 7 p.m. Anyone interest- ed in playing in city softball! league competition is invited to attend along with prospective sponsors. SARATOSA, The Boston Red Sox can finish anywhere from second to fifth in the American League race this year but they lack the infield strength and pitching depth to seriously challenge the New York Yankees. A year ago there were many who picked the Red Sox to beat out the Yanks on the strength of rosy promise by the youngsters The kids failed to click and Manager Mike (Pinky) Higgins I now has fallen back to veterans Billy Klaus and Gene Mauch to plug the gap in the middle of his infield.

it it it Here's the way Higgins looks at his club: all hinges on our pitching. If we get better pitching I don see why we move up in the It wouldn't take too much to move up in the race for the Red Sox in fourth place were only one game behind Chicago and four back of runnerup Cleveland. On the other hand, they were only two games ahead of fifth place Detroit. Oh yes. the Yanks were 13 games up front.

we left here last year, we thought our pitching was going to be the best part of our said Higgins. of Frank Sullivan, Tom Brewer and Ike Delock it too good. it it it and Sullivan are two solid starters and Dave Sisler should be better with a year under his belt. Willard Nixon has been slow coming around and Mel Parnell thinks he is fine after his operation. year we were figuring Eob Porterfield for 13 or 14 games and he only won three.

got to be better than Higgins feels keenly the lack of a solid lefthanded starter. If Parnell comes around, have one. Otherwise, ifs strictly a right handed staff. you just look at the records see how important that lefthander can said Higgins. at the top pitchers.

Whitey Tord, Billy Pierce, Billy Hoeft, Herb Score, all The Red Sox still hope to make a deal for a lefty, possibly with the Washington Senators, but ifs still in the talking stage. it it The outfield, of course, is the strongest part of the club with Ted Williams (.345) in left, Jim Piersall (.293) in center and Jack Jensen (.345) in right. Gene Stephens (.270) and Faye Thorne- berry (.220) are the extras. Williams, 38, missed five weeks last spring due to an injury suffered on the second day of the season. Except for diversionary this spring, he has been tending strictly to business with hopes of winning the batting title.

Piersall, just finding himself at bat, is one of the top defensive men in baseball and Jensen lends that heavy bat and 97 runs batted in from right field. ii it it Dick Gernert (.291) will share first base with 38-year-old Mickey Vernon (.310) depending on the enemy pitching and the ball park. Mauch (.348 at Los Angeles), purchased for $100,000 after failing in previous big league trials, is set at second with Klaus (.271) returning to short. Frank Malzone at San Francisco) is back for another try after batting only .165 in 27 games with Boston last spring. Ted Lepcio (.261) will play third if Malzone falters and Billy Goodman (.293) the general handyman will be available for first or secoad.

Giants About Ready To Take Wraps Off Andre Rodgers By JIMMY BRESLIN NEW YORK (NEA) Garry Schumacher is back in the offices on West 42nd street, ready to promote the daylights out of Andre Rodgers, the big, timid youngster who is to open the sea- son at shortstop. Rodgers, to eye, has all the potential to bring people to the Polo matter which is important to the New York National League franchise. Perform- ance wise, he hits the long ball, has a shotgun arm that brings oohs and aahs from bystanders. And Rogers has a colorful background. He was a cricket player in the West Indies until a couple of years ago, which is a natural for typewriter mechanics around town.

He has the colorful descriptions hits the ball out of the arena, nine miles, right and the gags plays shortstop with a British But there is, to mind, a basic drawback to the tub- thumping for Rodgers. That be, of course, the Clint Hartung episode of 1947. In Dec. of 1946, Garry, at the major league meetings in Los Angeles, received a letter from an Army major who had coached Hartung, service returnee who was to report to the Phoenix camp.

fella starts going into the things Hartung had Garry recalls. runs, no-hitters, stealing bases. The works. But he closed it with the line that killed me: also threw numerous runners out at the did it. I had the letter mimeographed and distributed to all the newspapermen there.

They picked it up wholesale. Overnight, Hartung is a big thing. It got so bad Tom Meany comes up with the crack, shouldn't report to Phoenix. He should go right to get to Phoenix and everybody is watching him. First time up, he belts one, it hits the top of the fence and goes over.
