P. laustein, Daily City ;Editor. threatened that if his guest column wasn't printed, he would play in The Daily softball game against the Union. So, here's the column.) WITH the flourish and fluter of opening day finally relegated to oblivion and with the composition of all 16 major league teams more or less finally settled, the time is abput ripe to dust off the crystal ball again, go out on a limb and pick the 1941 pennant winners. As far as we're concerned they'll be fighting the World Series in Ebbets Field and the Cleveland Stadium and the Dodgers will come out on top in the sixth game. We admit we're prejudiced. We were born near the swamps of Flat- bush, have lived by the banks of the Gowanus and have spent many years en.jeying the wonders of "Williamsboig" and the grandeurs of "Greenpernt" - but this year our prediction in the National League is based on more than just home-town loyalty. Before giving reasons why we like the Dodgers and Indians we might as well go all the way and list what we believe will be the final standipgs National League: Brooklyn, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Bos- ton, Chicago, New York, Philadel- phia. American League: Cleveland, New York, Chicago, Boston, De- troit, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Wash- ington. LET'S START with the junior cir- cuit. We think that Cleveland is the best bet because the Indians have a pitching staff that is second to none in the American League, the best second base combination in base- ball and enough good hitters to keep any pitcher worrying. The Yankees and Red Sox have a great deal more power but neither team has a group of hurlers strong enough to cop the flag. Heading the list of the Cleveland flingers, of course, is the boy wonder Bobby Feller who will be more than ably assisted this year by Al Milnar and Al Smith. The Feller-Milnar- Smith combine was good for 60 games last season and is expected to do at least as well during the rest of 1941. The second base combine com- prises two outstanding fielding sen- sations, Lou Boudreau and Ray Mack. And the boys can hit, too. In 1940 Boudreau drove 101 runs across while Mack knocked in 69. Other dangerous men at the plate are outfielder Roy Weatherly and first baseman Hal Trosky. The former hit .303 and the latter batted in 93 runs during the last cam- paign. . In Brooklyn the Dodger fans are also proud of a fine pitching staff and are more than pleased with the work of sluggers Ducky Medwick and Dolph Camilli. Medwick's reputation as the most dangerous batsman in the senoir circuit is more than just talk as they'll tell you in the Flatbush pool rooms and the loyal Dodgerites, won't let you forget that their be- loved Camill is No. I in the National League in homers and runs-batted in at the present time. And so joy and optimism reign from Sheepshead Bay to the heights. Gone are the days of the "hitless wonders" for the team has a batting average hovering near the .300 mark; no longer is there any fear of men getting hit on the' head by pop-flys with such classy fielders as Coscarart, Reese and Herman around the bags; and the Brooks have no concern over another possible "three men on a base" incident if the Dodgers con- tinue their heads-up ball playing. HAT ABOUT PITCHING? Wyatt, Hamlin and Casey are all far ahead of schedule in reaching that coveted 20-game circle. Higbe and Davis are among the finest hurlers in the circuit and Wicker, Swift and Kimball are likely to chalk up a score of victories among them. They'll also tell you in Flatbush that Lavagetto is one of the best thirdI basemen in either league ana that his batting average is well over .300; that Herman has been maintaining a bet- ter than .500 clip since he joined the Durocherites; that Owen is one of the smartest catchers in the circuit; that Phelps is still dangerous at the plate - and that St. Louis hasn't a chance. And so there are our predictions. Next October we'll be expecting to hear Leo Durocher and Roger Peck- inpaugh arguing it out while the Dodgers and Indians knock each other around on the playing field. And if all goes well with our guesses and our loyalties, we'll be out in Ebbets Field next year rooting for the new World's Champions. Netters Expect Stiff Opposition From Tartars Weir Will Start Regulars; Wayne Has Two Sophs, Four Juniors n OTeani (Continued from Page 1) Stille will form the second doubles team. With only two lettermen on the squad, Tartar Coach Norman Wann has come up with an exceptionally strong team. Four of the six players are juniors, and the other two are sophomores. Ed Granger, Wayne captain and one of the two lettermen, plays in the number one spot and has been doing a bang up job. Pete Nunez, number two player,, is also a junior and has been giving all of his opponents a run for their money. When their singles matches are over, Granger and Nunez combine to play first doubles. The Daily learned just before deadline that Jim Porter, Wolver- ine number three man who was scheduled to see double action in today's match at Wayne, incurred a foot injury late last night. Jim will go to the Health Serv- ice for examination early this morning, and will definitely be kept from the Wayne match. Coach Leroy Weir will be forced to shift his lineup, but at press time, the changes were not known. Playing in the third singles spot is Harmon Burns, junior letterman, who has earned his share of Wayne victories this season. In the fourth singles position for the Tartars is 19-year-old sophomore Ed Promack, who teams with Burns to form the second doubles combination. In the fifth and sixth spots, re- spectively, are Elmer Miller, a junior who combines school work, a regular shift at the Ford Motor Company, and tennis, and Tom Carr, 120 pound sophomore. These two netters form Wayne's last doubles team. GooTa GoifChampionship . To Be Held At Iowa State By LYONS HOWLAND Iowa State College at Ames, Iowa, will be the site of the 29th annual Western Junior Golf Championship to be held June 17 to 20, it was an- nounced this month by the Western Golf Association, sponsors of the tournament. Last year's tournament was held over the Lasker Mill Road Farm Course at Lake Forest, Illinois, under the joint auspices of the University of Chicago and Northwestern Uni- versity. In previous years Michigan has been host to the tournament. The match is open to amateur golfers residing in the United States and Canada who have reached their 16th birthday and have not attained their 20th birthday. Play will con- sist of an 18-hole qualifying rounda Major Lea gue Standings AMERICAN LEAGUEI Tuesday, June 17, followed by two rounds of match play Wednesday, two more on Thursday, and a 36-hole final match on Friday. In connection with the qualifying round there will be a team'champion- ship to which any school, club, pr dis- trict golf association may nominate a team of five players. The qualify- ing scores of the four lowest scorers on each. team will count in the championship. It was this title that Michigan's team of Dave Osler, Bob Fife, and Ben Smith swept last year. Of the trio, Osler was a soph- omore and Fife and Smith were freshmen. During the past several years the *Western Junior has taken on national proportions, drawing entries from most states to make up the largest field to compete in any Junior tourn- ey. In 1938 the title was won by Charles Betcher of Rochester, Min- nesota. Sam Koesis of Detroit was the winner in 1939 while Don Brown- ing of Monroe, Louisiana was last I Cleveland .......
