CLUB APPEARS LONG ON PLAYERS, SHORT ON TALENT
Brooklyn manager Leo Durocher says the Dodgers will finish in the first division after two weeks of spring training. He claims the club is stronger on paper with 94 players in camp but notes gaps in talent, citing catching as the main worry. Outfield should be strong with Dixie Walker, Augie Galan, and Bis Olmo. Veterans Hal Gregg Curt Davis and Ben Chapman to start, plus rookies DJ Nicholas and Vic Lombardi.
