Both teams' generally messy fielding caused much raucous comment from the almost empty stands and several arguments among the players. The errors ranged from the Crimson second baseman's letting a slow bounder go right between his feet to Kasarjian's stopping to argue with the umpire while he still had the ball, allowing a Brandeis baserunner to score. Because of the wildness of the Brandeis pitching, the varsity had a chance to show off some fast base running, although Boulris was picked off twice...
...these general transitions assume that the situation in the Republic will remain generally as now--that the summer's conferences will bring at best a slow start toward German unification. It would be Adenauer's supreme triumph if he could crown his work by supervising as President the unification of Germany, but this prize will probably elude...

With Lefthanders Johnny Antonelli (16-13 last year) and Mike McCormick (11-8), and slow-balling Righthander Stu Miller (whose 2.47 earned-run average was the league's best last year), the Giants have the best group of pitchers in years...

...strongest-hitting teams in the league. Five players: Ernie Banks, Walt Moryn, Bob Thomas, Lee Walls, and Dale Long accounted for 138 homers and all are back this year. But aside from Banks, who is everybody's All-American at shortstop, the rest are either very slow fielders or are feeling the ravages of age. Alvin Dark plays third base and hit .295 last year but he is just about through. As for youth the Cubs have it in their pitching staff, but last year, it proved something less than impressive. Dick Drott, Moe Drabowsky, Glenn Hobby, and Taylor Phillips...
