and head for the wire 154 games away And at this time oi year every Tom Dick Harry and sports writer makes his predictions as to who will finish where and even why Now thats pretty big order for anyone especially for guy who has nevcrseen the inside of major league ball park except through the mediu league ball is triple and the fellow who graduated this spring But what would life be like if we got too complacentuand the phone stopped ringing and no one had anything toueomplain about So were game and here goes well swing over to the Junior Circuit the American League first Ball fans even give sports reporters the benefit of doubt in this league saying even the dang sports writers couldnt pick anybody but the Yankees this yeah After thatbowcvcr nobody is really too smart and it all becomes big guessing game So welllgo along with the Bostonlléd Sox to fin ish second Ted Williams may have gained considerable notoriety for his political blasts and spitting antics but he is still to be counted on as the big slugger He should he capany backed by Jackie Jensen the onetime football star Jimmy Ficrsall the grandest flychaser of them all Mickey Vernon still BOOhitter and some young hurleis ex periencewise who are ducto put tpgethcr some good rccords While we are downright sure picking Boston for second place will bring us some guffahs we are doubly surctbat more will come from

Bobby Avila has failed to have more than one real good year Vie Wertz still younger than his bald head would indicate is not the best at his position either Bob Lemon and Early Wynn too great hurlers at one timekwiil fall below par and naturally enough Al Smith will possibly have standout year but that still wont be good enoug No one is ever too concerned with the clubs floundering in the sec and division and there seems little difference whether they finish fifth th seventh or eighth But well throw the White Sox always the ridegroom etc fifth The sixth Seventh and eighth positions asfar as we arevconcerned can be throwninto hat Then throw the Kansas City Athletics Baltimore Orioles andWashington Senators in and let themsc Natl al League through our 0ch mes musty old crystal ball we see not
