FIGURES YANKS IN THIRD PLAGE Unproved Infield, Uncercertain Pitching May Hold Back Yanks New York. Apr. 9. (U.R) Manag | «r Joe McCarthy is sending his' New York Yankees into one of the i hottest pennant tights in American league history with an unproved inheld, with an uncertain pitching staff and with Babe Ruth, fat and 40, in right Held. No one knows better than Marse Joe that the 1934 season is one of j the biggest gambles of his career., it everything works out smoothly i and if the Yanks get their share of I the breaks, they may drive through to the pennant. But it's like trying to fill a middle straight in poker possible but rath-1 er improbable. Hence it seems I ultra optimistic to tigure the Yanks tor better than third place. They • do not appear as formidable as the Senators or Tigers. In 1933, they 1 wound up second, seven games behind the Senators. McCarthy expects to start two youngsters in the inHeld. Don Heffner, who hit .293 with Balti- | more last season, will be at second, and Red Rolfe, who hit .326 with Newark, will occupy short. Rolfe has been heralded as the outstand-| ing rookie of 1934, comparable with ‘ schoolboy Rowe of 1933. Both he | and Heffner have shown well in training, proving an excellent i double-play combination. They will be Hanked by two vet-' grans who should have a steadying uiHuence: Tony Lazzeri at third, and durable Lou Gehrig at Hrst. |

j latxzerl was shifted from second to replace Joey Sewell, now coach. Rolfe replaces Frank t'rosettt, who couldn't hit at. short. It Is of vital importance that this I inHeld comes through to support I the pitchers, who can expect lew gift games this year. The slump | of the pitching staff, particuarly on I the mad. was one of (lie chief reas lons the Yankees' failed to grab the i pennant last season. Starting pitchers are slated to he I Lefty Gomez.

A Fashion Show Arranged For You WE MUST be in fashion today. Fashion reaches even into our thoughts and speech, into our every activity, into almost every incidental of our present-day background. Though elusive and constantly changing, we must be familiar w ith this force—if we are to hold our places as active members of a modern community. • To speak of young girls as flappers is to date ourselves as immediately post-war. Plush and mohairs would stamp the past on our home furnishings. And antiquated household aopliances would continue to submerge us in drudgery distinctly unfashionable. There is no better oarade of fashion than that which is presented to you daily in the pages of this newspaper. Through the advertisements, leading merchants and manufacturers are telling you about fashions in living. Hats and shoes now being worn, the better kind of household conveniences, the best values in foods, decorations, furnishings—each advertisement contains sincere and truthful news of the latest offerings of the stores. With the advertisements you can keep abreast of the times. You will find that it pays you to read them every day.
