YANKS DITCHING TROUBLE LOOMS! Bill Dickey Question Mark In S ankers' Training Camp New York Mar. 11.-KUJD - The d nuance from here to Florida as the gcaalp file* should be Incalculable but from the rapidity with which news of the New York Yankees' current plight has come north, ft can't be very far I'nttl the appointment of Joe Gordon as the Yankees’ regular Brat baseman for I*4l. that position represented one of the moot difllt ult problems manager Joe McCarthy had to solve this year. Now another puttie-the catching chores —baa arisen to plague McCarthy and there isn't a strategist tn the Yankees' lit Petersburg. Fla. camp who can guess how the Jig-saw ba< katopptng jumble will be solved. Listed on the Yankee roster art. three catchers. Bill Dickey. Buddy Rosar and Ken Silvestri the iaiivr obtained from the Chicago While Hot. In all probability, the three will be carried throughout the sum mer but exactly how much help each will be to the Yankees' pennant plan* Is the stickler. This season will mark the 1 tih in the ma>>r leaga>-s tor Dickey. He ha* been in camp for » couple of week* now but has been coming along slowly because of the two recent attacks of Bu he suffered. Dickey baa < auaht more than 100 games In each oTthe past 11 years for a big league record and until last season when be slumped to .247 he was a potent tatter If be can come back this year. Yankee troubles behind the plate will vanish Rosar deßnltely has made the grade aa the No. 2 man behind Dickey. He bit .211 in 71 games last year and was an excellent workman who proved his major league calibre when he took up the slack following Dickey's 1144 slump But the possibility that Rosar may not be able to put bis shoulder to fae whole load and make the grade strictly as th# No. 1 catcher I threatens to send Yankee plans awry. There Is no yardstick of past performances on which to Judge the chunky catcher because be haa never been top man In any b<g league camp. He wouldn't to the Brst brilliant second stringer to fail as a varsity man. The backgrounds of Dickey and Rosar afford some material on which to Judge their fature success of failure but Silverstri caught exactly one game for the White Sox last year. His personal history revsals little more than that be is big and husky, only M years old and amMtlotfk. Just who the top catcher on the Yankees will bs. is one of tha details that probably won't be settled until the squad comae home for their annual tune-up series with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
