In March, - while parts of
Canada are still in the grips of
Winter the baseball beat In
Florida¤ is the goal of sports-
writers.
There's nothing better then
a few weeks in the Florida
sunshine, all expenses paid,
and a return home to find the
mess o' winter and early
spring has faded away. • When Whitey, Ford and
Mickey Mantle •were the big
. guns for .the Yankees, and
Warren Spahn and Lew Bur-
dette were blowing down the op-
position in Milwaukee, I had the
pleasure of several such springs.
• The 1,500-mile drive from ,
the now of Ontario, New York
and 'Pennsylvania to the rains
of Virginia, the Carolinas and.
Georgia to the sun of Florida,
was never as hard as the drive
back. Or, for that matter, 'as
tedious as the 20-hour train trip,
• to Boston with the hockey Maple
Leafs.
And once in Florida, a base-
ball writer had a field day.
Within a short driving distance
were all the major league con-
tenders, all eager to paint a
rosey picture for the coming
• season.
. Ted Williams was near the
„ end of his great .career, but still
good copy for a visiting reporter.
Despite all the stories, Williams
was one of the easiest people
to interview, provided, of course,

in fact, the better the ath-
lete, whether it is football, hockey
or baseball, the easier the inter-
view. The fringe ball player is
the one with the chip on his
shoulder - the star doesn't have
to 'pretend he's good.
And this spring, there's more
than the usual interest for
Canadians ae their Montreal Ex-
"pies work out in West Palm Beach.
After all, if the New York Mets
can win a World Series so soon
, after their disastrous intro-
duction to baseball, then the
Expos, can't be far behind.
Manager Gene IVIeluch has a
lot of holes to fill to make the
Expos a threat. But the fans
and the press in Montreal have
really swung behind 'the team
• at' the expense of the hcickey
Canadiens, so Mauch has no
I
For the next few weeks, let's
take a look at both leagues and
predict a finish, starting VIM
the established American
League East.
The Baltimore Orioles ran
away with the American
League championship last year
and that probably helped to kill
them in the Series. But any
team with an outfield on Don
Buford (.291) Paul Blair (.285)
and Frank Robinsoe (.308), has
to bounce back. The pitching is
sold with Mike Cuellar (23-11)
Dave McNally (20-7) and Jim
Palmer (16-4), • backed by' Tom
Phoebus (14-7). Add the power
of Boog Powell (37 homers, 121,
RBIs, .304) the glove of Brooks
Robinson and the glove and bat
of shortstop Mark Belanger(.287)
and it spells champion.
-The biggest threat would have
come from Detroit, but. the loss
of Dennis McLain should ruin
the Tigers. He was their stopper
in '68 and despite some poor
support, won a league high of
24 last year. Mickey Lolich is
a solid lefty whd should have won
20 last year (19-11). But back of
him are only Canadian Mike Kil-
kenny- (8-6) and veterans Earl
Wilson and Joe Nierko, And Al
Kaline is near the end, catcher'
Bill Freehan has to play every
day, and the infield is medi-
ocre at best.
That leaves Washington and
Boston to challenge Baltimore.
Pitching should stop both of.
them. The Red Sox (on paper)
have the pitchers, but that's if
Jim Lonbirg finds his '67 form,
Gary Peters becomes a winner
in his new .home and Jose San-
tiago's arm recovers.

Crossbreeding is a common
prectice-in swine production'and
is becoming nipre popular each
-"year in beef cattle production.
Before we discuss the very
real advantages associated with
crossbreeding, we should ac-
quaint ourselves with some of
the terminology involved, so that
we will be in a better position
to understand and apply recom-
mended procedures in cross-
breeding.
What is a crossbred?
A crossbred is an animal that
results from the crossing of two
or more breeds.
Why are livestock breeds
crossed?
It has been noted for many
years that crossbred animals are
superior in many ways to either
of the,parental breeds making up
the cross.' In livestock, this su-
periority is most often rioted in
reproductive performance,
growth rate, 'livability and resis-
tance to disease. This superiority
is referred to as hybrid vigor,
crossbred vigor, or heterosis.
In beef cattle and swine the hybrid
vigor resulting from cross-
breeding is of sufficient magni-
tude to justify planned cross-
breeding programs.
Hybrid vigor probably results
because breeds are different in
their genetic makeup. Using re-
productive performance for
example, the typical Hereford
cow carries a set of genes which
are responsible for reproduction.
The typical Aberdeen Angus bull
also carries a set of genes res-
ponsible for reproduction., How-
ever, because these two breeds
were selected separately, the
two sets of genes will not be
similar. Thus, if these two breeds
are crossed, the crossbred off-
spring' will 'receive a set of
genes from, each parent that are
somewhat, different. These two
different sets of genes will sup-
plement one another and give a
broader gegetic foundation for
reproductive performance than
would two more similar sets of
genes from two animals of the
same breed. Hence, hybrid vi-
gor for such traits, as repro-
ductive performance, groWth
rate, survival, etc. The cross-
bred , animal simply has more
genetic tools for performance
and survival.
Combining the Good Traits
of Two or More Breeds
In addition to the boost we
get frorre hybrid vigor, another..
reason for. crossbreeding is to
combing the desirable traits of
two or 'more breeds. For exam-
ple, the Aberdeen Angus cow
is generally renowned for Mo-
thering, ability, but Aberdeen
Angus cattle do nor- generally
exhibit the growth rate of Here-
ford cattle. A crossbred Here-
ford X Aberdeen Angus calf
should combine in Its makeup
the mothering ability of the An-
gus and the 'growth rate of the
Hereford. Thus, with a thorough
knowledge of the strengths and
weaknesses of all breeds, one
can devise a crossbreeding pro-
gram to breed animals contai-
ning the attributes of many
breeds.

A lot of question marks.
The rest of the team is strcag
with an outfield of Reggie Smith,
Carl yastrzemski and TonyCon-
igliaro,. plus the bat of all-star
Rice Petrocelli at short.
Ted William's needs to per-
form a miracle with the pitch-
ers this season if Washington is
to threaten. Dick Bosman (14-5)
is as good as they come, but
the depth isn't there.
The other two clubs; New
