By Henry McLemore, • UP. Correspondent. - New York, Mar. 25.— (U.RI Despite the presence of the astute and hustling Joe McCarthy, it is believed extremely unlikely th.it the 1931 edition of the New York Yankees will better the performance of last year’s team which finished a poor third in the American league race. McCarthy, making his debut as manager of the Yankees, has made few changes in the lineup and the team is expected to open ths championship season with the following regulars: „ Combs, cf; Lary, ss; Ruth, rs; Gehrig, lb; Lazzeri, 3b; Chapman/ 2b; Cooke, If; Dickey, c; and Johnson, p. Pitching, just as in 1930, is the Yankee’s big problem. McCarthy has been unable to obtain any new pitching talent and Johnson. Pipgras. Ruffing. Pennock and Sherid again will do most of the work.
