Don Newcombe, Carl Erskine and Billy Loes form the nucleus of the staff. It will be up to manager Walter Alston to replace Podres from the others. Podres Rejected in '52 Perhaps Karl Spooner, the young man with the good \swift\, will be the man.'

The pitcher was called up by his draft board shortly after the series and was given a series of new physical tests. The outcome wasn't announced until yesterday.
