MANAGER HOPES TO IMPROVE SOX Editors Mote: This is the eighth of a s< ri«« dealizg with 1931 pro--pi,t Is of the various major league ball cnibs. By Henry M Ij-more I’nlted Press Staff Correspondent. New York, Mar. 3; —(U.R) Ar. even stronger pitching stall than 1 that of last year and a new spirit of hustle and fight are the main crops on which Manager Shaunc Collins hopes to boost the Boston Red Sox out of the American League pellar in 1931. Wiley Moore, one-time sink-ball h°ro of the Yankees, and "Lefty" , Brfllheart. called back from the minors, have been added to the ■ pitching staff which was third tn ; team pitching last season. Moore won 22 games with St. Paul. in 1930 and seems to have recovered hlsold cunning, and strength. The two recruits promise to fit iu well with the regular staff of Gaston. MacFayden, Morris. Lis- i enbee and Russell. Gene Rye and Tom Winsett. a ' pair of rookie outfielders, are expected to give the team a better batting punch. Rye hit JJfiO for Waco in the Texas League last ; vear and this included 26 home' runs. Winsett came from Mobile in the southern association and is p'enty capable with the bat. Rye is suffering from a sprained , wrist at the present time but is; expected to be ready for the opening game. Teamed with Rye and Winsett in the outfield will be 1 Earl We bl,. the only regular to. hit above .300 in 1930. Tom Oliver end Russ Scarrett. holdovers, wiil b-> on hand to understudy the regular outfield group. The infield is better than ordj-

nary. Bill Sweeney will be on first Rob Reeves at second. Hal Rhyne at short, and Jack Rothrock, a converted outfielder. on third. Reeves, once a third-sacker, is much happier at second, for his throwing arm was not quite strong enough for the cross-the-diainond pegs. Ollie Marquardt, shortstop from Nashvtile. and Otis Miller are l'k“!v to'b“ kent for utility roles. The hard hitting Charlie Berry. Yftlddy Ruel and Eddie Connolly form a capable catching staff.

SURGEON GIVES SIGHT TO YOUTH Philadelphia Man, Blind From Birth, Sees After Operation Phihi lelphia. Mar. 31. - (U.R> Eyes wh' h never saw brought new sensations and revelations bevond exp-e sion today to Earl I Musselman. 22. whose vision has i been made by the skill of a suri geon's knife. Ho was born blind. The color of flowers and' the I general appearance of human beings now ser in 4o hold the most attraction for thia youth who l ew people and objects only by sound and touch. Musselman was Ihrn without pupils in h's eyes. Six weeks ago Dr. G. H. Moore, a specialist on the staff of the Graduate hospital, performed an operation. Yesterda” the bandages were removed. Musselman beheld a new world, a world of color sensations in width years of stored up Imagination became real, and many impressions were found to. lie wrong. “I was completely fooled.” he said. "1 thought I 'knew ‘what it waw all about' as the saying goes, bm I was wrong. Besides all the things which I hail impressions of. there are so many things which : I had no impressions of at all. "The wav bricks are set in a building; the way one co|or is I different from another and one I shade fends into another; the wav frollev tracks run straight beside each other anti the way •bev shine- the wav a horse and motor vehicle move; it's all wonderful. “Imagination enn in no way convey an idea of color of the

rival beauty of flowers. I had tried , to fix colors in mv mind from desicr'ptione by teachers and friends who could see lait my conception * of them was dull ami drab comr ared to th Q wonderful colors I tan see now.” Musselman is not able to associate the various color sensations with names. That is one of the 7 things he will have to learn. “I'm trying to read with my • p.-oq already," he said today. , "The doctors sav I’ll be able to soon. The alphatiet is simple and when my sight’s a little better, reading will be no trick at all.” He has been able to read with his fingers for years. Physicians expressed tho belief , that he will learn as much in three months about reading and writing as a child starting to school would b arn in six years. When Musselman looked at himself in a mirror he jokingly re- < marked that he “looked something i I'ko he thought a monkey looked.” But Im adnrtted that everybody. | including, himself. w-as better -Jooking than his "mind picture" of ]; them. 1 1 Though an ordinary room con'ains more wonders for him than I Yellowstone Park has for those , who have had their sight, that National Park is one of the things in particular Musselman wants to ? see. He said he would like to be n tn. veling salesman so that he would see “lots of the country.” DEFENSE OPENS TESTIMONY IN BROTHERS TRIAL rONTiNT'FD FRt'M PAGE ONE) gangsters."
