First Base Plagues Both Chicago Clubs
Chicago's Jims Dykes of the White Sox and Wilson of the Cubs will field first base for opening day. The 35-year-old Kuhel, with 12 years of big league service, will start the season as Dykes offers no opinion. Dahlgren, 89 RBIs last year, is not assured a place in Wil lson's plans as he struggles at .229 against lefties, while Phil Cavarretta, moved from the outfield, has handled first base since 1935 and played 33 games there last year. The Cubs lineup mirrors 1941 except for Cavarretta, and the Sox begin with a largely similar lineup minus Wally Moses in center.
