APRIL It, 1930

HOPE FOR OPEN RACE IN NATIONAL INDICATED BY D EALS

Phils May Enter Bid for Grimes Last-Minute Swaps Reveal Pennant Hopes of Several Clubs. BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 11.—Lastminute trading activities reflect the National League belief that the 1930 pennant campaign may develop Into a wide open race. The Chica o Cubs are favored to repeat their 1929 victory, but several clut are confident they have a chance to nose them out and are making frantic efforts to strengthen forces for the opening of the season. National League teams have been Jockeying around throughout the winter to add strength without helping rival contenders and the trading activities broke out anew this week. Giants Get Rocttger Wednesday, the Boston Braves engineered a deal with the Pirates for Burleigh Grimes, one of the major leagues’ most successful pitchers, and Thursday Manager John McGrawn of the Giants partially solved his outfield worries by securing Wallie Roettger from the Cardinals. Baseball men believe Judge Emil Fuchs purchased Grimes as trading material and it is rumored that the big pitcher will go to St. Louis in exchange for several players, including an inlielder and a catcher badly needed by Boston. Grimes was the ace of the Pirates pitching staff and his sale appears likely to injure Pittsburgh's chance of leading National League clubs to the wire next September. It is doubtful that any of the other pennant contenders would have relinquished a pitcher of his ability but the deal was in keeping with President Barney Dreyfus’ method of handling players who refuse to accept official dictation. Phillies Need Hurler There is a possibility that Philadelphia may enter into the bidding for Grimes. Manager Burt Shotton has developed his club from a hopeless tailender into one of the most powerful hitting outfits in orranized baseball and with high class pitching the Phils would be a dangerous rival for the Cubs. Hurst, Thompson, Thevenow and Whitney comprise the most promisir ~ young infield in the .league and t... presence of O'Doul and Klein in the outfield give the Phils a real batting punch. Grover Cleveland Alexander has been added to the pitching staff as coach and relief moundsman.

Champion Athletics Hold Big Edge Over Junior Loop Rrvals Macks Have 1929 Lineups Intact, With High-Class Rookies in Reserve; Yanks Are Uncertain Quantity; Sox, Senators Expected to Improve.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. April 11.—The gap between the Philadelphia Athletics and the rest of the American League last year was eighteen games. With their 1929 lineup intact and several high-class youngsters ready to step into the breach should any of the veterans collapse, the Athletics apparently have the strength to repeat this season. Several clubs have made changes, strengthened and rebuilt, but on the eve of the 1930 season the Athletics are favored to repeat. The New York Yankees, with two rookies in the lineup and an untried manager, are more or less of an uncertain quantity, but will remain dangerous as long as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Tony Lazzeri can swing their bats. Improvement is expected from the Chicago White Sox which dropped to seventh place last season and the Washington Senators which finally pulled up to fifth place after a bad start. Cleveland and the St. Louis Browns are expected to prove troublesome, but are not regarded as dangerous pennant contenders. Detroit again has a powerful team, but the Tigers are weak in the box. The Boston Red Sox probably will wind up in the cellar again. Four clubs have new managers. Bob Shawkey will make his managerial debut with the Yankees. Donie Bush, former Washington and Pittsburgh pilot, will lead the White Sox. Bill Killefer, former Chicago Cubs’ boss, will handle the St. Louis Browns. Heinie Wagner, coach under Bill Carrigan for three years, has succeeded Carrigan as manager of the Red Sox. Thumb-nail sketches of the eight clubs follow: PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS (Finished first. Won 104, Lost 46. Pet. .693; No changes have been made in the world champions’ lineup. The infield again will be made up of Foxx, Bishop.

Wally Schang, veteran catcher, is back and will assist Cochrane and Perkins behind the bat. Eric McNair, and Dibs Williams, young infielders, and Mahaffey are the best of several newcomers. NEW YORK YANKEES (Finished second, won 88. lost 66. Pet. .571) Bob Shawkey has selected two St. Paul rookies. Allen (Dusty) Cooke, left fielder, and Ben Chapman, third baseman, to start the season in the regular lineup. Mark Koenig has been returned to shortstop.
