MANAGERS PICK YANKS. GIANTS TO WIN AGAIN Major League Managers Forecast Another AllNew York Series (Copyright 1938, by UP.) New York, Apr. 12. — (U.PJ—Another all-New York world series between the Yankees and the Giants was forecast today by major league managers in their annual pennant predictions for the j United Press. Seven managers in each league predicted the entire order of tin-1 ish, only Bill Terry of the Giants and. Oscar Vltt of the Indians declining to do so. "T ‘never picked the order in which teams would finish in my life." said Terry, "and I never expect to." Inasmuch as Terry used a "ghost writer" in his last literary effort,;

I the liberty was taken of substitut- | lug a New York newspaperman's I selections in the Giant pilot's place. I These selecions were based on opinions Terry has expressed to the press throughout the spring. | Vltt named the Yanks to repeat but begged off picking where the i rest would finish because of his ' unfamlliarlty with the American ' league. s'• The Yanks are a stand-out choice j among the American league pilots |to repeat, seven picking them first ' and one second. The lone dissent.er. who asked that his name be withheld, picked Cleveland to tri- | umph. It wasn’t Vitt who picked i. the Indians. The Tigers and Indians, according to the poll, will put on a whale of a battle for second place. Dej troit was picked second by six pil- | ots and third by two. Cleveland drew one first, one second and six I thirds. The big collapse in the American league will be the Chicago White | Sox. the managers forecast. They ( will drop from third to fifth, with the Boston Red Sox moving up to fourth place to round out first division. In the National league the man- 1 ; agers predicted the same order of j finish as last season —New York. ; | Chicago, Pittsburgh and St. Louis. | i The Giants were picked first five I times (including once by Terry’s | substitute), twice for second and | one third. Two pilots, Casey 1 I Stengel of the Bees and Burleigh Grimes of the Dodgers, named the Cubs to win. and Pie Traynor pick- j ed his own Pirates. In second di-1 vision the poll named Cincinnati ' as the team to show the most im- , provement. getting sixth place, only a few points back of the fifth- 1 place Bees. Commenting on the American league race. Joe McCarthy. Yanks’ : manager, said: “It's no soft touch to win three pennants in a row. but it has been done before and it's possible to do it again. In | spite of our troubles in the spring. I I believe we have a stronger club than in 1937. But 1 believe the league is stronger right down the line.” j Mickey Cochrane of the Tigers figures his team will be slightly weaker in batting and stronger in fielding, but admits everything depends on how his pitching comes ! around, especially Schoolboy "Rowe. ” The general tone of the National league predictions indicated that a majority feel there is a possibil-1 < ity of a big upheaval. Said Bill ' McKechnie, Cincinnati: “If any one ’ of the first four teams breaks down, it is likely to fall real hard.

[RESUMEHOCKEY PLAY TONIGHI • Chicago Blackhawks An Now Favorites To Min Series 11 1 , Chicago, April 12 (U.R) Chi • I cago's Blackhawks. unorthodox t miracle team of the national hoc , key league, were seven to five fav , orites today to climax the year's , greatest sports comeback by regaining the world championship in , j the fourth game of the Stanley Cup ( finals against Toronto's Maple Leafs. Odds were even higher that the game will be the roughest of the entire cup playoffs. All through the final series bit- , ter quarrels tietween the players and rival managers have broken out. A distinctly hostile crowd, which may exceed the 1J1.469 that saw Chicago's Sunday victory at the stadium, will add to the frenzy. There was little reason to favor the Hawks, except that they don't know when they're beaten. They i have fought with their backs to the j wall in every series and came from behind to win both their games from Toronto. Commanding an upperhand for the first time this I season, they now are just as unI predictable. If the Maple Leafs can solve the . Hawk's crashing style of play ■ which apparently is no style at all. they can square the series at i two games each tonight and travel i back to their home ice at Toronto ' for a fifth and deciding game. o Today’s Sport Parade By Henry McLemore Jacksonville Fla.. Apr. 12—(U.R) —ln a week or so the baseball i season opens. We know the play- ' ers are fit and ready for the long campaign. They have been here 1 in Florida, in California, in Louisiana or in other warm chimes beautifying their biceps, conditioning | their calves and generally getting themselves into what the Mayo brothers like to speak of as "the pink." But what about the baseball fans’ What sort of shape are they in? They have been to no training camps and will start the season eitrely out of condition. That is, unless they take my advice and spend these last few days preparing themselves for the rigors of attending baseball games. Take an average fan; he'll go out to that first ball game and yell to the boy for a bag of peanuts. | The boy will throw the peanuts to him from at least ten rows away and he will miss the big. thereby spilling four or five of the peanuts. Now a man can't afford to lose that many peanuts out of a bag he buys at a baseball game because there are only eleven in the sack to begin with. At the end of the season last year he could have made a nice one handed catch. To sharpen his eye I suggest that fans stand in the center of their best rugs and have some one toss them bottles of ink. Peanuts will be a cinch after that. The hot dog presents another problem. After a hot dogless five months the stomach should be gently prepared for the reception of this mixture of hot mustard, cold roll and warm dog. Taken suddenly it will do the same thing to you that the apple did to SnowWhite. To get ready for the season I suggest that twice a day you eat a child's tennis shoe parboiled in hot water. The danger of this is that the fan might not want to go back to hot dogs. No fan is ready for the opening of the season until he has acquainted himself with the background of the new umpires. It is impossible to mercilessly taunt a man unless one is thoroughly familiar with maybe as low as sixth place." “The Giants can make it three straight if evrything clicks,” said Terry's pinch-hitter, "and also can wind up sixth if nothing clicks. Another pitcher is desperately needed." Casey Stengel, Bees, believes the Cubs are a cinch to win "if their pitching holds up,” while Pie Traynor, Pittsburgh, says, “if Rizzo continues to hit and Bauers isn’t on the shelf too long the Pirates will win." Burleigh Grimes, Brooklyn, in naming the Cubs to win because of their all-around strength, says the Giants may drop plenty if anything happens to Hubbell.

1 " 1 i his weaknesses. To call an umpire simply a blind thieving bum when you might have called him a wife sealing arsonist, is simply a waste of time. Opening day ceremonies offer a unique problem to the fan. He was bored on opening day last year because last year trthe year but not as badly as he will be bored this year because last year was only the fifteenth time he had seer, the same ceremony. This year will be the sixteenth time he has seen some prominent citizen throw out the first bail, while an inferior hand plays a sepulchral march and the players march selfconsciously ouf of step to the Centerfield flag pole. To prepare for this a fan must practice being bored without going to sleep. Being Scotch-Irish, I manage this by holding a nickle in my mouth while, watching the ceremony.

ESCAPED MAN ISCAPTDRED Only One Os Five Who Broke State Prison In February At Large Michigan City. Ind.. Apr. 12.— I (U.R? —Only one of the five longterm convicts, who escaped with i surprising ease from the state prison last Feb. 10, was still at large i today following the announcement by Warden Louis Kunkel that Angelo Gengo of Gary had been picked up in Salem. Ore., where he is being held. Still at liberty is Theodore Huiburt. 26. of Indianapolis, who along with Gengo successfully evaded one of the state’s most intensive manhunts since the regime of the I late John Dillinger. Gengo. Warden Kunkel said, was , picked up on a vagrancy charge the latter part of last month. He i was identified as the long sought | Indiana fugitive by his fingerprints i which, under routine, are sent to | the federal bureau of investigation | at Washington for identification. When authorities here were notified B. D. Ferguson, assistant, deputy warden, and William Keeshe. a guard, left immediately for Salem to return the gunman who 1 waived extradition. They are expected back Sunday. Gengo was serving a 10 to 25- ‘ year sentence from Lake county I for armed robbery when he escapI ed. With him in the desperate ; and daring break for freedom, besides Hulburt. were August Cummings. 37, Indianapolis; Frank ' Pavletich. 24. Gary, and George j Christian. 26. Gary, all serving long j 1 terms for robbery. They sawed the bars of their, ' cell doors during spare time, plac- | , Ing them in position with adhes- | ive tape to pass inspection until they were ready to make their I

break. Then, after placing dummies in their bunks to simulate sleeping forms, they climbed to the root of the cell block, cut their way through the tin roofing and clambered over the administration building roof to the wall where they slid down Improvised ropes Cummings and Pavletich were soon captured on a state highway near Wheatfield, Ind. Christian was caught sleeping in an automobile later near Valparaiso. All were returned and placed in solitary confinement. Gengo and Hulburt, however, managed to slip through the cor don of police and dropped from sight. The escape brought about an Investigation of prison conditions which resulted in a number of recommendations being made. Those on duty at the time of the break were exonerated of blame. Later it was revealed that Cum mings had admitted the convicts had obtained hacksaw blades from outside the prison and that they “took six months to get and cost plenty."
