YANK MANAGER IS CONFIDENT Copyright 1928 by United Presn St. Petersburg, Fla., Mar. 23. —(U.R) —•'[ really -believe that the Yankees are stronger than they were last year," Miller Huggins, diminutive manager of the world's champions, told the United Press in an exclusive interview today. “But,” he added promptly. “I do not look forward to anything like the runaway we enjoyed in 1927.” The shrewd little pilot who has steered the New York Yankees to five American league pennants in the past seven seasons, a recor dnneqttalled in the history of the national pasttime. feels confident that this year means just another triumph for his club. "We have improved all down the line." said Huggins, “and I still believe we have the best ball duff in baseball. "We have at least three fielders who are going to do a lot better this season than last. Tony Ijazzeri, Mark Koenig and Lou Gehrig still are in the stage of development in which an extra year's experience means a great deal. Lazzeri. in particular, is going to be an improved ball player. As for Gehrig, he learned certain tricks of hitting last season and is bound to perfect them. "Opposition? Well. I think we may expect our strongest opposition from the Athletics. "The Senators look better than last year and they, too, should make things interesting. But don't overlook our own improvement. “Take the matter of reserve material. Gene Robertson is a great safeguard around third, and he will be used at second, too, if the need is apparent. "Leo Durocher will take the place of Johnny Morehart." The pitching staff of the world’s champions has been criticized as weak, Huggins admitted. “I think we still have the pitching.” he argued. "A great deal depends upon it, of course. We have released Reuther and Shawkey and Shocker, a great spit-ball pitcher of particular effectiveness in the spring, i has retired. In their places, we have , Stan Coveleskfe, Henry Johnson and I Al Shealy. "Covy, I believe, will do well. Then there is Pipgras. ready to take his

regular turn, and Myles Thomas, about due to work steadily." NEWS FROM THE ! | TRAINING CAMPS ( • ) Exhibition Gam.'s Today —(U.R)— Philadelphia, (N.L.) vs. St. Louis (N.L.) at Winterhaven.

that our boys and girls may tutn to them and their real man and woman building pleasures. The Teague gives its earnest attention to the purification of streams and ’’he beautification of them, the encouargement of bedhity in the outdoors wherever it may be advanced. One of the probable activities of the league is the interest that they are showing in preserving and restoring the scenes of Gene Strat-ton-Porter's beloved Limberlost, the making of it a place of interest to the whole country. Mrs. Porter was an ardent supporter of the league during its formation lending it support in every way and has had and has now the gratitude of that organization and a desire upon their part to preserve for posterity, places made famous by her writings. To do this would be exactly in line with those activities that their organization stands for. A plan is also under way for the league to make a state-wide pilgrimage into this territory some time this summer rrr fall in futherance of these plans. It is indeed remarkable the impetus that has been given of late years to conservation of natural resources, the efforts that are being made to encouragement love of the outdoors and outdoor sports and the league numbers among its members the best known people of the country. Secretary Hoover is the honorary president; Charles L. Beiderwolf, of Indianapolis, clerk of the supreme court, is the state president. At Monday night's meteing, Harry H. Hilgeman and Arthur Trier, both of Fort Wayne, who have been prominently identified with this work for some years, will address the meeting. There will be four reels of outdoors pictures shown. The ladies will also attend this meeting and the event is looked forward to with great interest. o Striking Miners Attack 30 Non-Union Workmen ’ Cadie, Ohio, Mar. 23.—(U.R)—Sixty striking miners led by a woman attacked 30 non-union workmen as they emerged from a mine near Somers today.

The meeting will be climaxed by a vote on whether Decatur will have an Old Home Week —Fall Festival —street fair—or nothing. It is of vital importance that everyone attend. It's going to be a real get-together .meeting for everyone interested in Decatur. A committee has been selected to see personally every merchant, clerk and manufacturer and urge that they attend. If anyone is missed in the canvas, lie <is invited anyway — and not only invited, but urged to attend. Let's show everyone that the slogan “Decatur Can And Will” adopted in 1912, has not or even become dormant, but is alive in every one's heart. BROADCASTING IS DUE FOR SHAKEUP (COVH.VI CU FItUM rtUK oxtu, licenses will be issued for unlimited operation. The New York and Chicago districts will be hardest hit. The law apparently limits each of the five zones to 110 stations each, according to the commission. There are in operation 225 stations in the Chicago district, while the number in the New i York district is smaller. Many of the superpower stations, of national appeal, may have a material reduction in power. The new law would limit each zone to approximately 100,000 watts total power for all stations. This limitation, commissioners said, breaks down the original plan laid out by the late Admiral W. H. G. Ballard, chairman, for setting up a number of national broadcasting stations. With each district operating its full quota of 110 stations the average power per station would be less than 1,000 watts. -I t6|
