Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, April 12.—8 y way of being somewhat different as an expert I have resolved not to reveal to anyone the identity of the two teams which will fight it out, as the quaint saying goes, for the world baseball title next October. I have decided for reasons best known to mys*elf that I shTll not

pick the Yankees to win the American League pennant or the Pirates to win the National League pennant because in doing that I would be doing what everyone else is doing and as the Governor cf North Carolina said to Governor of North Carolina, “Why be a mug?” Still, if anyone

jB--

Williams

thinks the Yankees are going to win again five will get them ten, even if it is not my ten, because there is many a slip between the cup and the lip and you never can tell from one day to the next what Mussolini intends to do about the high heel situation. a a a This brings me quite naturally to the deep and innermost thoughts of the inen who are most vitally interested in the coming baseball season and it is with more than average joy that 1 repeat in a more or less confidential manner the spirit in which they actually approach the event. # a MR. BARNARD, president of the American League: “AH that I am interested in is in seeing that the eight teams in our league play all of their games. Frankly I don’t give a tinker's expletive who wins. I don't care whether the race is tight, loose or frayed at the cuffs. If my $40,000 is there at the finish I will be satisfied.” Mr. John Heydler. president of the National League: “Well here we arc starting another race for the championship. What of it?”' Judge Kenesaw Mountain Pikes Peak Landis: “I sincerely believe this will be the greatest season I have ever had. My hair is longer than it ever was and I have mastered three new postures which ought to give the boys who operate the news reels an awful kick.” Mr. Miller Iluggins. manager of the Yankees: “The whole thing is a frightful bore. It will be no kurprise to me if my boys win again. So far as I am concerned I promise j to do nothing to discourage them.” I Mr. John J. McGraw, manager (so they allege) of the Giants: “I am very happy to welcome the opportunity to dementsrate that it is possible to play this game of baseball without a second baseman. I regard this as a daring innovation and if it works out all right, next year I shall, with the gracious cooperation of Messrs. Stoneham and Tierney, try to get along without a first baseman and a third baseman. I am in favor of innovations right or wrong or what have you?” u a a Os course these may not really he the deep, innermost thoughts of the notables cf baseball as they squared off for the new season yesterday, but I have an idea the mythical utterances herewith credited to them come about as dose to their actual feelings as it is possible to get.

The Peterson-Williams feature match seems to interest the legion fans, judging from the talk around where the ringworms gather, and the consensus of opinion is that Peterson is very likely io take the edge on account of his longer ring experience and general cleverness. As far as slugging ability and capacity for absorbing punishment are concerned, there seems little to choose between the two rugged pugs.

| First ‘Ladies’ Day’ of Year Tomorrow: Tribe Repeats Wednesday. SPEECE STARS IN BOX - Four-Run Start Proves Feature: Deviveros Shines. BY EDDIE A!pH NOSING out the Millers, 6 to 4, Wednesday. Bruno Bctzcl’s Indians were ready to launch another attack today in an effort to make it three straight victories in the season's opening series. The round of battles with 1 lie visitors from the North will end Friday, the first “ladies’ day” of the season. Following the Millers, will come j the Sc. Paul Saints, piloted by “Dan-

gerous Nick” Allen, the “wild bull of the A. A.” Great relief pitching by Byron Speece, the southern Indiana submarine hurl er, checked the Millers Wednesday and enablecf the Betzelitcs to keep their standing at 1.000. Hits were even Wednesday, nine for each side. Fred Haney, skillful third sacker, led

1 i ■

Haney

the Tribe attack with a double and single. He started the first round rally with a two-bagger and in the fourth his single drove in Yde. Speece rushed to Emil Yde’s rescue in the fifth inning with one man out and two runners on the sacks. Bearing down with all his stuff. Byron got the side retired without runs scoring. He was nicked for a home run by Deviveros in the seventh and he got away to a bad start in the eighth, but noble work saved him and he refused to crack. Speece permitted only one run and three hits in the 4 2-3 innings he propelled the sphere. And he whiffed three of the enemy. Benton “Greeted” A fat first round put the Tribesmen out in front and they never were headed. Yde and Benton, southpaws, were the opposing pitchers at the start and the Indians “greeted” Benton with four runs in the initial stanza. Yde's double in the fourth followed by a walk to Warstler and a single bv Haney got the Indians their fifth marker and in the sixth Spencer’s double. Speece’s near-hit and a sacrifice fly by Warstler put across the sixth run for the home nine. The Millers counted three runs off Yde and one off Speece. Three Miller Pitchers Manager Mike Kelley of the Millers made desperate efforts trying to avoid a second defeat and he used three pitchers and two pinch hitters. Benton was knocked out, Skidmore was removed for a pinch batsman and Liska finished. Compared with opening day attendance, the crowd Wednesday left plenty of room in the stands, but about 1.100 loyal rooters attended and got a big kick out of the Tribe's second triumph over the Millers. Beginning with the third inning Yde got in trouble and Manager Betzel made a wise move in calling Speece to the box in the fifth. The Tribe infielders were on their toes from the start and executed three double plays-in the first foulinnings. The errors, only one apiece for the day,-did not figure in the scoring. The contest was worth the money despite the raw atmosphere.

WATCHING THE SCOREBOARD

Yesterday's hero. Andy Cohen, the young Jewish second baseman, chosen by John J. McGraw to fill Regers Hornsby’s old place. Cohen stepped into the limelight by driving in the winning run and contributing three rattling hits to the Giants’ 5-to-2 victory over the Boston Braves. Adolfo Luque’s brilliant pitching against the Chicago Cubs, whom the Reds defeated. 5 to 1, has raised Cincinnati hopes for a successful season. Chicago fans are downcast by the loss of Hack Wilson, who will b(. out for a fortnight as a result of a badly sprained ankle, sustained in the eighth nning. Homers by Jim Bottomley aid Frankie Frisch punctuated the 14-7 slaughter of the Pittsburgh Pirates by the St. Louis Cardinals in the opener, in which thirty-one hits and six errors were made.

WASHINGTON PARK CHATTER

The Senators pulled a triple play ou the Brewers at Columbus Wednesday in the first inning. It was Nicolai to McCann to Schwab to Nicolai. It war. the first three-ply killing in the A. A. lor 1928 The teams went 'round and 'round at Columbus, the Senators winning 10 to 9. Umpire Goetz chased all Brewer henrh warmers in the eighth for creating a disturbance over a called strike. Blues and liens, who tied in extra innings Tuesday, went ten innings Wednesday before K. C. won. 5 to 3. Zinn and Barnes went the full route. Two extra innings at Louisville Wednesday, the Colonels beating the Sa.nts. i to 2. Nachand. Louisville outfie der. got a iiomer and single. Old Ben Tincup bested McOuaid oti the mound.

But Jackson smacked a single over Eddie Farrell’s pate. And Harper drew a pass because they feared him at the plate; Then from the stands and bleachers the cry “Oy-Oy” rose. For up came Andy Cohen half-a-foot behind his nose. There was ease in Bob Smith's manner and a smile on Hornsby's face, For they figured they had Andy in the tightest sort of place. It was make or break for Andy, while the fans cried, “Oy-Oy-Oy.” And it_ wasn't any soft spot for a little'Jewish boy. “And now the pitcher lias the ball, and now he let’s it go, And now the air is shattered by the force of Casey's blow.” Well, nothing like that, happened, but what do you suppose? Why, little Andy Cohen socked the ball upon the nose. Then from the stands and bleachers, the fans in triumph roared. As Andy raced to second and the other runners scored. Soon they took him home in triumph midst a blare of auto honks. There may be no joy in Mudville, but there’s plenty in the Bronx. DUNDEE VS. GERMAN ST. Louis, Mo., April 12.—Joe Dundee, welterweight champion, has signed to fight here April 2G, probably with John Dreko, Germany.

Jimmy Ring, veteran righthander. who returned to the Phillies during the winter, demonstrated he still is effective by holding the Robins to seven hits and beating them, 4 to 3. The Athletics’ new combination of Cobb and Speaker has not yet started to function effectively, and the Mackmen tossed the opener to the New York Yankees, 8 to 3. Sam Gray, traded to the Browns during the winter, pitched winning ball against the Tigers, 3t. Louis winning the opener. 4 to 1. Cleveland hit Lyons and Connally hard while old George Uhle held the White Sox in check and beat them. 8 to 2 Ken Williams, sold to the Red Sox last winter, made a homer and two triples, but the Washington Senators evened the series by winning at Fenway Park, 8 to 4.

BY EDDIE ASH

In the first two days oT the A A. seaoii six games have gone beyond regulation distance The pre-season prediction that the league is evenly balanced evidently was based on facts. shanty Gaffney, veteran Louisville utility infielder, has been made a free agent in appreciation of his long service. The Colonels had no plaee for him anil he objected to being sent to the Threc-I league. Warstler contributed more feature work at short, for the Indians Wednesday by accepting right chances without a bobble. He got one hit and a sacrifice fly. Layne got the only stolen bane when he pilfered third while Benton was winding up in the first. Devivoros turned in some fancy fielding at short for Minneapolis and showed a fine throwing arm. In four trips to the plate he hit a triple and home run and drew a walk. He was retired in the ninth on a pop fly to Holke. Owner Jim Perry of the Indians has announced two "ladies' davs” weekly. Monday and Friday will be the davs the feminine fans will be admitted free to the grand stand. The new Tribe boss is eager to see how well the women rooters turn out tomorrow, the first "ladies' day” of the season. Pat Ilunean. Miller left fielder, obtained three hits Wednesday. He always lias been a difficult batter for the Indians to handle. J'ac-h Wheat batted for Skidmore in the seventh and was called out on strikes. Sp-ccc fooled the veteran, who was caught with his bat on his shoulder. Opening day player prizes have been awarded. The list follows: Bctzcl. winning manager, leather coat, A.
