SAYS YANKEES ARE OVERRATED Writer Says Yanks Hurling Staff May Prove Weakness New York, April B—(UP) —The | rame fellows who said Joe Louis couldn’t lose to Max Schmellng have the American league pennant all won for the New York Yankees. Everybody's picking the Yanks because they have the-punch. It's easy to go overboard for the guy who can punch, be it prize ring or baseball diamond. But maybe the Yanks have a vulnerable spot the same as Joe Louis, you wouldn't think so from the world champions’ spring record of' 17 victories out of 20 games, but let's see who they've been picking on. I They l>eat the Boston Bees seven times, and the bees have won only four out of 16 games this spring. ! They licked the Cardinale twice, broke even in two games each with the Reds and Dodgers. They lost a game to Newark and in the rest of their schedule they've bowled over Newark. Tallanassee. New Orleans. Houston, Galveston, Dallas and Fort Worth. The Yanks look great beating those minor league and second division clubs. They don’t need any pitching to do that. They just slub — 16 hits yesterday. 21 the day before. Hut the lip-off on the kind of pitching the Yanks faced iti that Lefty Gomez leads the club in hitting with an average of .591. Gomez batted. 145 last season and ie one of' the worst hitters in baseball. The Yanks' vulnerable spot ie the pitching staff. The club’s beet pit- ■ cher is Red Ruffing, a holdout. He won 20 games last year- The Yanks aren't good enougbto sacrifice a 20-game pitcher. If and when ruff-. does join the Yanks, he may not be in chape to -pitch for weeks. Look at the Yanks' staff —Pear- ' son. Gomez. Murphy. Broaca, Jtad- j ley, Malone Brown. Wicker Makesky. and Sundra. Try and pick a 20game winner in that bunch. Try, and pick a 4-man staff.

i being counted on for a big comeI back. After two bad years does it I seem reasonable that Gomez's fast ball will eprout wings again? In hie , last appearance on the mound the' [Dallas Texas league club rapped I him for 4 runs and 10 hits in eix | innings. I Just a winter ago the Yanks had I run second three time in a row and I Joe McCarthy was sure he would | never win a flag with this almost identical team, now called invin-. cible. Along came JJoe Dimaggio ’ and overnight changed the Yanks into a winner. The Yanke have a championship team every place but in the box wheer they're strictly second division. They can etill hit, but so can Joe Louie, -but look what happened to him when Schmeling came to bat I The yankee pitching staff may be as wide open as the Brown Bomber's jaw when the firing starts. o | At the Training Camps i| oy United eress Dodgers Daytona Beach. Fla.. Apr. 8. -XU.R) , — The Brooklyn Dodgers, buzzing with trade rumors, came here today to play the St. Ixmis Cardinals in their last game of the training season. It was reported Dodg er manager Grimes had completed i arrangements for sending first baseman Buddy Hassett and outfielder Eddie Wilson to the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for first-sacker Dolph Camilli. who is -a holdout. Another report has Grimes trading Hassett and utility infielder Jim Bucher to the Boston Bees for Baxter Jordan. Tigers Lakeland. Fla. — Relieved of ex . cess baggage, and with the heavyhitting Hank Greenberg's name on a regular contract, manager Mickey Cochrane today began to put his Detroit Tigers through a week of strict conditioning with no more exhibition games until they meet , the Reds in Danville.

NEW TAXES MAY BE NECESSARY Joe Robinson Says Legislative Action May Bring New Taxes Washington. Apr 8 U.PJ- Senate majority leader Joseph T Robinson said today that while no new taxation was contemplated at ■ this session of congress legislative I action on relief, farm tenacy, hous I ing. and education probably would * determine whether additional reve- | nue would be required Robinson's statement Immediately recalled President Roosevelt's warning in his budget message of last January which declared that if congress appropriated sums over and above budget estimated reve nue measures would be necessary to finance such expenditures. The budget as submitted by the president carried no provision for farm tenancy, housing or education expenditures although legislation on each of these subjects is likely I at this session of congress. Robinson said that sentiment on the question of additional expenditures and additional taxes al this sission was not yet crystalized. “My feeling is." he said, “that the expenditure for relief may lie reduced slightly. There are a good many senators who favor cutting | down on relief expenditures At i the same time there are others who would like to increase them. Sentiment has not yet crystalized “I don't know of anybody who wants to increase taxes this session. The president does not. “But presumably there would ' either have to be additional revei nue or a reduction in other expendi tures if education, housing and tenancy legislation is passed " Robinson also pointed out that there had been a slight falling off in income tax receipts compared to estimates, although he said that the loss might be recouped by later returns. “There is a feeling," he said, 'that various expenditures proj nosed and the creation of a larger deficit than expected, if that should occur, would hinder the bal TRAP SHOOTING Sunday.
