Dodgers Optimistic On 1950 Season As They Eye Yankees
Dodgers captain Pee Wee Reese says the 1950 club is stronger than last year with better pitching led by Newcombe and Palica and expects a fierce season.

Reese notes tough rivals like the Cardinals Giants and Milwaukee and predicts a strong push to reach October baseball. He plans to continue playing for about two more seasons and believes Walt Alston will help Palica recover and flourish.
