The Reds bought Howie from the White Sox in December of '52. A former University of Illinois athlete, he started in pro ball with Waterloo of the Three-l League in '46. After he compiled a 16-8 record for that team in '47, the White Sox brought him up from '48 through '51, Howie turned in records of 4-5, 1-1, 2-3 and 5-6 for the Sox. His best Big League Earned Run Average was 3.76 in '51.
Almost immediately after Gil was signed by Dodgers he went into service for three years. Gil started his career in OB as a third baseman, and it wasn't until 1946 when he was with Dodgers' Newport News farm team that he became a catcher. He remained behind plate until last season when Dodgers switched him to first base. He played 134 games, hit .250 and batted in 70 runs.
Young "Pete" Coscarart, in his second season with the Brooklyn Dodgers, is being hailed by all Flatbush as the greatest second-baseman in the National League. Rival managers credit the Dodgers with having the best infield in the league, and Coscarart last year proved a main cog in it. Fielding is "Pete's" specialty, but he proved he can also come through with a timely hit by batting in 43 runs for the Dodgers in 115 games, and averaging .277, which is not at all bad for a freshman. Youngest of three ball-playing brothers, "Pete" started with Portland, where he was so valuable the fans gave him a farewell gift of $2500. He was purchased by the Dodgers in 1937, optioned to Nashville and recalled last year.
