Bucky Harris Says Yankees Still In Race St. Petersburg, Fla., March s—(UP) —Bucky Harris doesn't agree with the experts who have made the Boston Red Sox the pre-sea-son favorites for the American league pennant. "Naturally they are going to bej tough,” the pilot of the world j champion Yankees said today as he sat in the dugout at Miller Hug-j gins field while coaches Chuck Dressen and Red Corriden drove the New Yorkers through a strenuous workout. "But don’t go out on a ‘ limb for them just because of that off-season strengthening.” The Beantowners became the favorite for the flag when they acquired Joe McCarthy as manager, pitchers Ellis Kinder and Jack Kramer and shortstop Venn Stephens from the Browns and outfielder Stan Spence from the! Senators. “However, a lot of experts are forgetting that we have strength-j ened our club, too,” Harris pointed i out. "Why I wouldn’t trade Ed j Lopat and Red Embree for Kinder and Kramer. As for Spence, I ] don’t see how he can help them in j the outfield. I'd take Sam Mele ( over him. Stephens, of course, will ] help the club. So will the other ] players. But the four of them j shouldn't help them any more than Lopat and Embree should help us." Harris revealed that he had been after both Embree, secured from Cleveland, and Lopat, obtained j from the White Sox, for some ; time. ( “They figure to help us a lot and j naturally I'm counting on them," [ he said. "I'd be surprised if they j don’t win more games for me than Kinder and Kramer win for McCarthy.” Harris also pointed-out that the Yankees had picked up other play- ( ers who promise to help the cluh. 1 Cliff Mapes, who batted .308 i with Kansas City last year; Gerald i Coleman, a slick looking infielder; 1 pitchers Tommy Byrne, Frank Mil- 1 ler and Clarence (Cuddles) Marshall and catcher Ralph Houk are either newcomers or players back for a second try with the Yankees whom Harris believes will be of ; help. I “Mapes could be a good out- ( fielder; Houk a good catcher; i Coleman, if he can hit major 1 league pitching, a fine infielder,” ' Harris said. “And Byrne, Miller and Marshall may have come along enough to make the grade this year. “And don’t forget Don Johnson, 1 whom I figured was going to be a 1 world beater last spring. He got a I little too cocky and wasn't of 1

much use to me but I’m still con vinceff he is a major league pitchei and he’s a year older now and ha; learned his lesson. “All in all. I don’t see when anyone can honestly say that we haven't strengthened our club as much as the Red Sox. Even if you give them a shade, they certainly haven’t made up the 14 game margin by which we beat them last year.” Wolverines Win In Intramural League I The Wolverines, with eight vic- , tories and two losses, have won the I championship of the heavyweight division of the intramural league at the Decatur junior-senior high school.

Some of the men were asleep preparing for their midnight shift when the Natchez, hauling three of its six oil barges up the river, suddenly was tossed into the wall of stone. Hass said the boat “went under in 30 seconds—upside down.” Rivermen described the swift current as the severest in many years. As the Natchez approached the bridge, the eddy—a swift circulation motion of the water — smashed the Natchez against the

I concrete. Seaman Clem Collins, who was on duty at the time, said that the current had “caught hold of the tow and jerked it around straight across the river.” In a flash the Natchez swung crazily sideward and hit the concrete, Collins said. The site of the mishap is approximately nine miles from here. Police chief William Taggart, who received first reports of the crash, rushed to the scene with ambulances, doctors and nurses. Taggart said he sat on the bridge watching three rescue boats pulling in survivors. The Standard Oil towboat, Sohio-Latonia, picked up most of the survivors from the icy water and brought them to the Greenville river terminal. The hospital said a through examination of the crewmen, including X-ray pictures to spot broken bones, would be made after they recover from shock and exposure. It was not believed any were seriously injured, however. HOLD ANNUAL (Continued from Page 1> chorus. The chorus will also pre-
