see, Is the best part of my club," j HHTnsby said today. “I wish I was more sure about my iuflcli land outfield. The biggest job just I now is to find the fielding combination which will get the most hits." Yes, the old Rajah, himself, may play this season. “I don’t know where and I don’t even know that I’ll play for sure,” he said. "My ankle hasn't bothered me so far and I've been working hard. too. And I should be able !to get a few more raps than some of the boys I’ve got. I'd probably play third, but maybe It will be second, or even first." The best Browns rookie, according to Hornsby, is Roy ‘ Bean'' j Bell, brought up from Galveston In | the Texas league. Bell was a fence- | bustin’ hitter with Galveston last I year, piling up an average of .33 i, and including many extra base I bits. 1 Another newcomer upon whom Hornsby is banking considerably; !Is Fay Thomas. 28-year-old pitcher front California. Thomas, who i stands 6-3. has been in the big time before. Last year, with Los Angeles, he seemed to have found his! stride with 28 victories and f ur defeats. That's pitching in any, league, and already Hornsby ranks Thomas as one of the big three of 1 his staff. The others are George Rlaehlder who won 14 and lost 181 last year, and Bncky Newsome who had a mark of 16 and 26. For ajl the optimism of the enthusiastic . Hornsby and despite the apparent, improvements, the Browns shape up as distinctly a second-division club. They finished sixth last year and may, as Hornsby believes. | climb a notch or two. But the man-power just doesn’t seem to be there. Os the fielders with but a single exception, there is none that would attract the ey-> of baseball’s ivory hunters. The [ 'XcentLn is Oricar Melillo. leading infielder o fth club. Melillo plays i second. o Bank Cashier Shot Battling Bandits Voust n. Whc..

THREE ROOKIES OUTSTANDING , Blanton, Washington And O’Dea Most Promising (I Os Newcomers Los Angeles. Mar. 27.— (U.R) 'Three names to get acquaint! I .. jwith in preparation for the open v 1 ing of the major league baseball season April 16 are: t Cy Blanton, Pittsburgh pitcher. Vernon (George) Washington. Chicago White Sox outfielder. Jimmy O'Dea. Chicago Cubs’ catcher. Those three player* appear to be . the outstanding rookies picked' up |by the three major league clubs training In California. Blanton Is ready for the “big J time" and promises to be one of I the year’s prize recruits. '' “Blanton looks like a million dol- , lain." said manager Tie Traynor . of the Pirates. • Blanton pointed the Pirates late i last season and pitched the final game, losing to the Cubs. 3-2. Dur'.ing the past two years in the min- ’ I ors Blanton, who comes from Shaw- ■ [ nee, Okla., f.ias aveniged better than ' I one strike-out per inning. In three - months he played with the Albany International league club last year he pitched 1-3 1-3 innlngu and struck out 167 batters. In 1933 , with the St. Joseph western league (club he pitches! 256 innings and 1 fanned 284 men. Washington, who quit a Texas ' > farm for a baseball career, is a natural hitter. 1-ast season he hit 367 for Indianapolis and missed winning the American Association i batting title by .001 point. He only made one error in the outfield. He is a left-handed batter, and most , of his hits are line drives. The Cubs’ prize rookie, Jimmy O'Dea. may not be heard from right , off the bat. but he gives every indication of eventually stepping ' into Gabby Hartnett's shoes behind the plate. Hartnett, who has put in 13 years with the Cubs, rated , O'Dea as the best looking young , I catcher he has seen wtih the Cubs , j during hfe span. O'Dea batted only .265 with Co1 lumbus. a Cardinal farm, but, tin , der tutoring, gives promise ot de- ] veloping into a major league hitter. In professional baseball onlythree years. O'Dea made the allstar team in the Mississippi valley league in 1932 and the Texas lea-1 i gue in 1933. o • • At the Training (’amps 1 By United Press » . Los Angeles.

How Much Is a Wife Worth? oOvSfi M >JUI h'<LfV WH/S r 4f l&n JStt »JL M J ImbOPf a Jst-—~-J»U \&l( _aj ww . w* Each housewife in the United States has due her an average weekly wage of $64.92. This estimate is based on results of a survey made among suburban homemakers by the Pratt Institute of New York. An economic and social upheaval would result, if this were incorporated in law. A new use would have to be found for orange blossoms and divorce courts would hum with activity. One can imagine hubby coming home to find his place picketed by indignant housewives because he owes “the little woman” back salary. Consider the plight of the male who is held up for time-and-a-half for overtime after wifey has put the steaks on the grill. Fan dancers would throw away their fans and chorines go domestic for $64.92 a week!

Tex -(U.R)—The ' hempen noose which stangled 1 Frank Crawford and Elmer (The - Kid) Lewis was brought back to s this city after 39 years.
