BILLY EVANS THINKS N. Y. GIANTS WILL WIN PENNANT IN NATIONAL V f v
NEW YORK —McGraw’s club looks better than ever to me, despite the loss of so great a shortstop as Bancroft. In the youngster. Travis Jackson, the Giants appear to have a recruit able to step right in and fill the bill. Pitching, which worried McGraw a great deal last year, is certain to be better. It is reasonable to suppose that oue aud possibly two of his star recruits will come through. If such is the ease it is going to be a tough job to beat the Giants. CINCINNATI—The loss of their beloved leader, Pat Moran, at the spring training camp, is not going to help the
Johnny Sand, Philly Shortstop, 1923 Fizzle, Expected to Shine
By ,\ t'jl Sfrrfcf IHILADELPHIA. April B. Has Johnny Sand, the shortstop who came up from the Pacific Coast last year preceded by blaring bands and much ballvhooing only to fail miserahjy, found himself? Art Fletcher, manager of the Phillies, seems to think so. Fletcher tells you that Sand started to come the last six weeks in the 1923 season when he cut loose with an amazing batting spurt, and. for the first time during the year, began to field flawlessly. i 7
YANKEES BEHER Mi EVER, SAYS BASEBALL EXPERT Good Pitchers, Good Infield, Good Outfield, Good Hitters —That's All, By HENRY L, FARRELL. C nited Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, April 9.—With no changes in the team that has won the American League championship three times running the New York Yankees are better fixed perhaps for the ®24 race than they were last yea r. The team ought to be improved by the acquisition of confidence from their decisive victory over the Giants in the world's series and by th- improvement that experience might be counted- to have brought about in several young pitchers. The real power of the Yankee club can be realized from the fact that the club has a $50,000 bail player, Earl Combs, who may not be able to break Into the line-up. Combs is an outfielder an<Phis*oniy-chanee for a regular job is to beat out VTbitey Witt for the place in center field. Ureat Infield With Pipp, Ward, Scott and Dugan, the Yankees have one of the best infield combinations in the major leagues. Pipp is one of the finest players in baseball, and it is only a me*-k. retiring disposition that has prevented him from getting the credit that is due a player of his ability. Ward ranks next to Eddie Collins as the best second baseman in the league. Collins is slipping and Ward is just getting a good start. Dugan is the greatest third baseman m the game. Scott is regarded as doubtful for another hard season, but the chances are that he will come through again. Ruth and Meusel form a reliable combination in the outfield. Witt is a hard working fielder and a good leadoff man. Nothing need be said of Ruth and Meusel. Their class has been long established. Catchers WHI Do S< hang and Hoffman will do the bulk of the work behind the bat. Schang ‘sn't young any more, but he is Invaluable because he has worked so long with the star pitchers of the staff. Ti>e great strength of the Yankees Is found in the pitching staff, with Hoyt, Jones, Pepndck, Bush. Shawkey and a couple of good youngsters. Even formidable pitching staff of the Cincinnati Reds is inferior to the pitchers that Manager Huggins can toss in day after day against the Yankees' opponents. Huggins knows what he can expert from his veterans and he figures that Waite Hoyt is going to be the real noise of the 1924 season. The boy has been due to arrive tot a long while. Poly Track Captain By Times Special TERRE HAUTE. Tnd., April 8 Harold Schoonover. Terre Haute, has been elected captain of Coach Heze Clark's Rose Poly track team. He is a jupirir and is one of the school's best athletes.

"1 look for hint to pick right up this spring where he left off last fall and if he does he will be the ranking shortstop in the National League,” predicts Fletcher. As incredible as it may seem the Phillies paid $25,000 for Sand Jast year—well, they said they paid $25,000 for him. Sand proved a terrible flop; he only hit .228 and he nmde more errors than any short Slop in either league. "I think this was due to stage fright more than anything else,” explains Fletcher. "The youngster got off io a bad start and the fans began razzing him, with the usual result: the kid went all to pieces.”

spirit of the Reds. The death of Pat Moran is a blow to Cincinnati’s hopes. This is no reflection upon the ability of Jack Hendricks, his successor, who is a capable, brainy leader. Tt would be the same no matter who was selected to manage the club. “Win for Pat” is a slogan that Manager Hendricks hopes to imbue his players with. PITTSBURGH—A club with great possibilities, that seems to be considerably stronger than last season. Several of the young players on the club are certain to have profited by their experience of last year. In addition, Manager McKechnie seems to have picked up some very likely material among his recruits. A contender last season, the Pirates appear much better equipped to carry on this year. ST. LOUIS-'-An improved ball club over last year, but still several points shy as a pennant contender. Pitching is rather uncertain. Young players on the club should show to better advantage. CHICAGO —A club made up largely of young players, all of whom are certain to be more finished this year. The pitching also should be much improved. This important feature should make the Cubs far more troublesome than last year.

He was far from that If the southern bantam is *ne of the leading contenders for title hon ors. there are about twenty-five other I boys who should be rated as chami pions. at least. The first round was fairly even, with Pettingill landing quite a few' left hooks on Taylor's ear. Rut Bud was much too string and clever for the New Orleans kid. and stepped out in the second round in the old Taylor style. After a minute's milling. Bud cut loose a left that sent A1 to the canms on his knees. Referee Barry started counting Every one in the hall expeoted AI to rise any second. But he didn't.

But Barry waived him aside and the fight was over. The fans yelled for more. But the official was clearjy right in his de cision. Why the New Orleans boy ! stayed down is a question open for argurnent.

Warming Up With the Tribe By EDDIE ASH
LA NT CITY. Fla.. April B. Ownie Bunh is Jubilant over the fine spirit unions his <ndiaiis and he Is confident the Indianapolis ball club of 1924 la sure to lie a hustling aggregation. The players lave been worktng together without friction of any kind and they seem to realize they are expected to battle hard regardless of the way the games go. Bush has hustled Uke an ambitious rookie this spring and the veteran players and youngsters have trotted right along with him. Bush Is a firm believer In running everything out to first lae and he won t tolerate a man loafing on an apparent ©a*y out. He caught two lagging in one of the Brooklyn con tests and then and there he explained hie attitude on that point. When Bush finished talking the entire squad agreed with his stand In the matter and all promised to follow his advice. He explained that baseball statistics prove the team that tries for everything usually gets the breaks of luck, and that hs Is out to get every' break possible. The Indians are going to make some mistakes this season, but. they are going to play "heads up” baseball a’nd strive to avoid many errors of omission. The boys were playing poker and Bill Burwell drew a bad hand. He tossed his cards aside and said: "Just like the Brooklyn ball club—a lot of misfits.” Bush believes in keeping the athletes active and that is, the reason for so many fishing trips this spring. Idle hours are not the best thing for ball players In training, he says. Pitcher Lee Bartlett may land with the Spartanburg club of the South Atlantic League. Mike Kelly of Indjanaoplis Is managing Spartanburg and has a promise of Bartlett. Jay Klrke will appear in the Minneapolis lineup against the Indians on

The two teams were to play the second game of a series of five here today, OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla—-The homeward bound Cubs, who defeated Oklahoma City. 17 to 15 Monday, are in Tulsa today for a game with that city's home club.
Several unsettled spots in the make-up of the infield is the only outstanding fault. In O’Farrell the club has one of the best receivers in the majors. THREE OTHER CLUBS —Brooklyn, Boston and Philadelphia hardly stack up as pennant timber. No doubt the managers of these three clubs will be more th m content if they land a notch or two higher than last season. BROOKLYN—WiIbert Robinson at Brooklyn must do considerable rebuilding. Some of his veterans are slipping and it is up to him to develop new timber. It may take him two or three years before he is again in a position to put over a pennant winner. BOSTON —Dave Bancroft at Boston, making his debut as a major league manager, has a lot of problems to work out. The Boston club finished seventh last season, so Bancroft will not have to finish very high to show improvement. The loss of his veteran star third sacker, Tony Boeckcl, was a tough break. PIUI jAI)ELPHI A—Art Fletcher is making much progress at Philadelphia, but of course still has considerable distance to go before he predicts a pennant. Taking over a feeble aggrega-

Jay probably will do much damage in the Miller park, where the right field fence Is close. Mlnneajiolis Is collecting a lineup of sluggers. Among the swatters of note now with Mike Kelley are Earn, Walker, Shorten, Crilz and Klrke. Catchers Mayer and Graboweki also can bang the ball. Maguire, the second baseman sent to Toledo by John McGraw. is a very clever fielder and a smart player. He is a fair hitter. Manager Bush has declined all luncheon invitations sent the Indiana by Indianapolis civic clubs and other booster organizations. The Invitations have been appreciated kindly by the ball players, but owing to the fact the athletes will be home only a short time, before the season open 4 the Tribe pilot decided to decline all Invitations with thanks in order not to disoriminale. 0 RESENT plans call for the Indiana to reach Indianapolis April 10. and Bush hopes to find time to send them through a drill that day. On April 11 the Giants and White Sox meet in an exhibition at Washington Park and it will be necessary for the Tribesmen to take a workout before the big league clubs reach the field. On April 12 and 13 (Saturday and Sunday) the Indians battle the Boston Red Sox at Washington Park. On Monday, April 14, Bush will send the athletes through final paces before meeting the Minneapolis Millers in the opening day struggle Tuesday, April 15.

The Tribe athletes enjoyed themselves in this little city, got in fine condition and made many friends. It has been an ideal training trip for the ball players. Manager Bush concentrated on the pitchers in the drills of Monday and today and indicated he is planning to use Petty or Burwell on the mound in the big opening day game with Minne apolis Tuesday, April 15. He said the line-up he will use against the Boston Red Sox in Indianapolis Saturday probably would be the same as he plans to use in the first championship struggle. Outfielder Pug Allen was signed to a contract late Monday after the deal for his purchase had been closed- He has been a popular member of the spring squad and the other Indians are glad Owner Smith bought him. Manager Bush is now well pleased with Ida out field roster of Brown, Rehg, Christ enberry and Allen, as each of the four knows how to slug the ball. Brown and Rehg bat righthanded, Chnstenbury bats left handed and Allen bats either way. It is a well-arranged garden squad. Manager Bush permitted the athletes to go on another fishing trip Monday afternoon and the players scattered in all directions.

The last time waivers were asked on the hard-hitting young man, only seven enemy clubs indicated a desire to block the transaction. So Gehrig is destined to win his spurs as a big leaguer by sitting on the bench until Wally Pipp is drawn into the oil scandal or cholera breaks out among the Yankee outfielders. Gehrig was a pro at 16, playing with the Hartford club in the New England League under an assumed name.
