Harris Eyes Senators First Division Bid In Spring Camp
Washington manager Bucky Harris predicts a return to the first division with new acquisition Zeke Bonura joining a right handed batting lineup featuring Bonura, Simmons and Rick Ferrell. He expects stronger run production and notes Simmons and Bonura must deliver while praising pitching depth headed by Krakauskas, Chase, Ferrell and Weaver. The Yanks and White Sox loom as major threats as Harris targets a competitive season in the AL. In bowling news, the Klover Colts lead the City Class C league by five games after two wins, with Gerber Yetts and Slauter’s Texaco also posting three wins.
