Talking It Over
BY JOE WILLIAMS-
NEW YORK, April 7.—Most of the press box magistrates, I note, are stringing along with Cornelius McCillcuddy to win his third straight championship with those Athletics in spite of the many old wives’ tales, statistical precedents and the like which show that it can not be done. This attitude la doe to the belief that the Athletics are no weaker than they were a rear a*o, when they won by an eight tame martin and that the ret of the field U no atronter. Ergo. It seems Inevitable that McGUUeuddy mutt win again, although the boya who wager on such things will give you as high aa 4 to I. that they don’t. And hnw about the race In the national. How about it. indeed? noart \jc\ tv* verv involved and trie experts a re I running VM & circle., frothtaj the mouth and snapping at the neeie oi ♦eltai ranters Very few ol them have beer, able to agree on a couple of Instances where hysteria roae rough shod over tew the crystal gazers awarded the gqnlalon r 48SS£ n let It go at that. tt tt • I ASKED a couple of major league managers to pick the National for this department and their opinions, greatly at variant, have just reached me. Both of them, be assured, are competent critics. One of them will be known as Joseph V. McCarthy, present manager of the Yankees, and former manager of the Cubs, for indeed he is none other than McCarthy himself. For reasons best known to himself the other does not wish his identity to be disclosed in connection with his selections. And naturally it will not be. McCarthy picks his old Cubs to win. with the Cmrds second, the Giants third and the Brooklyns fourth. And if you are still Interested he thinks Pittsburgh will top the second division, followed by the Braves, Phillies and Reds. Don’t jump at the conclusion that McCarthy is still sentimentally interested in those old Cubs of his. The fact Is he believes he got a very raw deal irom ine Wrlzley Interests and X don't l®* B **.”® be cares a hoot how many games they lose. At the same time, McCarthy thinks the team Is good enough to win the championship and the fact that he and his old bosses do not speak as they pass by is not Influencing his judgment. “The Cubs were beaten by'only two games last season, writes McCarthy. “They have ***" strengthened by such pitching additions as Smith of the Braves. Sweetland of the Phillies. May of the Reds and Baecht of Los Angeles. If Hohnsby can play every day the Cubs will be that much stronger, but even without him I think they can wla. Generally they have speed, drive and punch, and these ought to bring them another championship.” AS for the Cards, McCarthy makes these observations: “They must have full use of Chick Hafey to be in the race. The team will be stronger in the box, with Wild Bill Hallahan developing into a real sensation. Having Burleigh Grimes from the start of the season will be helpful, too. “Grimes didn’t Join the club until June 15 last season. A lot depends on the three veteran pitchers—Grimes. Haines and Rhem. The Cards, though, can’t match the Cubs in power.” As for the Giants: “I’d like McGraw s chances better if he had one more dependable pitcher. The changed infield should work out all right. Freddie Lindstrom flguVes° to perform tip to expectations In the outfield. Heis a real baa player wherever you put him. Just ine game. McGraw shll has an outfield problem and Verges, the kid third baseman from the coast, has vet to prove his class. And as for those Jolly old Dodgers from across the bridge: “The addition of Thompson and O’Doul will help but the pitching staff Is erratic. Vance Isn’t getting any youngflf. He won seventeen games while losing fifteen last season. That was a fine record for him. Tour leading pitcher ought to be able to win at least twenty games for you and when he fails to do that. well, too great a burden Is placed on the rest of the staff. I fear Robbie will miss EUiott and Dudley (who went to the Phillies in deal) before the season Is over.” „ „ - tt tt tt NOW let’s take a look at what our other manager-expert has to say. His communication is reprinted as written, thus preserving the racy tempo and stark realism of his style. , • . "I like the Giants best, but I have to give the Cards first rating on account of their pitchers. Best in ri H this ever. Cards are weak at third and this may stop them. The Giants should be better on law of averages if nothing: else. They led league in hitting and fielding last season and three of the J*y,? pitchers were Giants. Things Just dldn t click. Everything went wrong. Ought to get a break this year. Shifting Lindstrom to outfield will help team whole lot. Keep your eve on this situation. ... y “Orbs must have Hornsby in there every dav to get anywhere and on form shown last season. Hornsby won’t play In more than 115 games at most. Thompson and O’Doul won’t help Brooklyn much. Neither of them can field. Thompson bustler. That let’s him out. Too to? 7? southpaw hitters In Robbie’s lineup. Pittsburgh may be most dangerous team in league. Had plenty of tough luck last season. Give them the breaks this year and they will be right up there all the way. Rest of the league looks hopeless to me. Braves may win a few more games, but no pennants. That big guy Berger they got figures to develop into a sweet hitter one of these days. Not smart fnough yet. Sucker for bad balls. Regards. Digesting these opinions, which are typical of the lack of certainty that exists among the boys in the National this year, vou reach the conclusion that it s anybody’s race. That is to say anybody s. bet the Reds.

TORONTO INVADES CITY AS BOSTON-SOX PASS OUT
Angley Crashes Homer Acting in Pinch Role Tom Lines Sphere Over Fence With Two Mates on Bases and Boston Is Defeated for Third Time by Corriden’s Indians. BY EDDIE ASH When Johnny Riddle, the Georgia bulldog, singled home the tying run in the fifth inning of Monday's series windup with the Boston Red Sox, Pilot Corriden of the Indians nominated Tom Angley, the “Rambling Wreck of Georgia Tech,” to go up and hit for George Smith and endeavor to surpass Riddle’s timely hit. In the land of Dixiana the rivalry between Georgia university and Georgia Tech borders on slaughter and the competition between the two Cracker colleges usually is marked by red hot battles. Two runners were on the paths as Angley stepped to the plate, and winding up with the pitcher, Tom met the first ball and lined it out of the park, giving the Tribesmen a lead of 8 to 5, and the big leaguers were crushed once again, three in a row, for a clean sweep by the Hoosiers.

The former record for the 50-yard event was :27.3, held by Ethel Lackie. The new time set in the relay race was 4:27.4, compared with the old record of 4:29.9.
Evans Out of Proxy Race By United Press CLEVELAND, April 7.—William G. Evans, general-manager of the Cleveland Indians, today was definitely eliminated as a possible successor of E. S. Barnard, late president of the American League. Evans announced Monday night that he was not a candidate for the league presidency following a conference with Alva Bradley, president of the Cleveland club, and other officials. Evans was considered officially to be the leading choice for the presidency following Barnard’s death.

Dempsey Near Breakdown; Plans Long Rest in Country
By United Press COLUMBUS, 0., April 7.—Strain of many one night stands over the country is sending Jack Dempsey, once the kingpin of heavyweight fighters, back to the “country” for a complete rest of two months or longer. Dempsey will appear in the role of the popular referee tonight at Wheeling, W. Va., and then go into seclusion as advised by his physicians at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn., who gave him a thorough physical examination recently. The physicians found him to be in a highly nervous condition and in need of rest to prevent a state of physical exhaustion.

Having that tired, southern feeling, Angley evidently believes in the short working day, and that one punch, followed by the circuit of the bases, ended his labor for the afternoon. A pinch hitter is figured ace high if he delivers a mere single, but chunky Tom made it decisive by producing a home run, and that’s something to write home about as well as crow once more for Georgia Tech. He’s Former Gridder .Angley played against the Four Horsemen and Seven Mules of Notre Dame several years ago and has reached the conclusion he finally is recovering from it. Pitcher Lisenbee of the Red Sox will tell you he agrees with him. The score of the Monday fracas was 11 to 6, eight innings, the contest being abbreviated to allow the visitors to catch a train for Columbus. It was the eighth triumph in ten starts ,for the Indians this spring, seven of the wins being over major league clubs. Leafs Fourth Last Year The Toronto Internationals moved in today to begin a three-game series with the Corridenites and the double A nines were to start their action at 2:30. The Leafs finished fourth last season and are piloted by Steve O’Neill. Leslie Barnhart and Lefty Hall were to receive the mound call from Manager Corriden. Since coming up from Florida Corriden has used six pitchers, Burwell, Holshauser, Cvengros, Daney, Smith and Boone. Others on the staff are L. Barnhart, Mulrooney, Hall and Vornholt. Long Smash by Winsett It was a wild one at the ball park Monday, with the Indians collecting sixteen hits, including home runs by Fitzgerald and Angley and doubles by Montague, Wolfe, Walker and Bonura. Smith issued nine passes and Boone three, a total of twelve, yet the home nine was victorious. Lisenbee of the Red Sox passed five. Fitzgerald, Montague and Bonura each punched out three safeties and for Boston Winsett hit one ‘‘seven miles” over the right center field fence as the high spot of his team’s attack. Boone Shows Promise Danny Boone hurled the last three rounds for Indianapolis and showed enough to entitle him to further trials. He worked well in the eighth after being in hot water in the sixth and seventh. He was more or less of a cripple when he reported at training camp and the club officials are going to give him a reasonable time to test out the salary souper.

Dempsey, who has drawn large crowds in many parts of the country as an official, has proved the fight-going public dtill thrills to his name. He admitted Monday night, however, that his present work is the most trying he ever had experienced and has taken more from him than his days as a fighter. Nearly 100 engagements will have to be cancelled as the result of his temporary retirement, he said. He said he would follow the doctors’ recommendation and go to the country for a rest. Neither he nor his business .nanager, Leonard Sacks, would revea’ where the place would be.

Ordinary Pitching Staff May Keep Braves in Sixth Place
Editor’s Note—This is the fourteenth of a series dealing with 1931 prospects of the various major league baseball clubs. NEW YORK, April 7—Although they have added more potential strength than any club in the league, the Boston Braves will need another “miracle team” such as that of 1914 to finish better than sixth in the coming National League pennant chase. This is true for two reasons. First, the Braves are faced with terrific competition from the Cubs, Cards, Giants, Robins and Pirates, and, second, the Braves’ pitching staff is no better than ordinary. Pitching was one of the Braves’ strongest departments in 1930, when they finished sixth, twenty-two games behind the winning Cards, but the sale of Bob Smith to the Cubs weakened the staff considerably. McKechnie still is undecided regarding his starting lineup, but is expected to open the champiouship season as follows: Wilson or Chatham, 3b; Maranville, ss; Worthington, rs; Berger, cf; Richbourg or Schulmerich, If; Sheely, lb; Maguire. 2b; Spohrer, c. Sherdel, Frankhouse, Haid, Cantwell, Cunningham, McAffee, Leheney, Zachary, Brandt and Seibold are expected to carry the pitching burden. This is a mound staff of more quantity than quality. Haid
Bonura Gains in Form and Job Appears Safe
BY EDDIE ASH It is evident Henry Bonura, the New Orleans Italian, has impressed the Tribe bosses enough to assure him of a summer job as a pastimer in the household of the Indians. The hard-working big boy no doubt will be retained as an extra and kept busy as a pinch hitter and understudy for Emmett McCann,
who will be assigned to the first sack in a few and . s. McCann was obtained when Ollie Tucker holdout fly chaser, was traded to Columbus, but has been nursing an injury the last few days and has not appeared in the Tribe lineup. Bonura poled three hits Monday and showed unexpected! agility around the initial bag 1 , a big improvement over

Bon nra
the form he displayed in Florida. He has an abundance of pepper and determination. With both McCann and Bonura on the pay roll, the cards seems to read that Paul Wolfe and Andy Andrus will be sent elsewhere when the final cut is made in the squad. The problem for Manager Corriden, therefore, will be to figure out infield switches when the occasion requires. McCann, the first baseman, has had much experience at second, and third baseman Narlesky can play short and second in a pinch. The regular second base berth will be taken care of when the Indian officials put through a deal they have had in mind for some time. Howard Fitzgerald, the Indians’ new middle gardener, walloped two home runs in the Red Sox series and sent his bat-
To Rockne By United Press SOUTH BEND, Ind., April 7.—Plans for a national memorial to Knute Rockne, Notre Dame’s famous football coach, got under way Monday when university officials met to discuss the disposition of scores of donations that already have been received. The Rev. Charles L. O’Donnell, C. S. C., president of the Notre Dame Alumni Association, and James E. Armstrong, alumni secretary, conferred on the project. Following their meeting, it was announced a committee will be appointed later in the week to draft the plans for the memorial. The committee will comprise alumni, benefactors of the university and friends of Rockne.

wej secured from the Cards arid MiAfee from the Cubs. Leheney is thf. best of the team’s minor league rookies. Addition of Worthington and Schulmerich as running mates for the slugging Berger gives the Braves a heavy-hitting outfield. Schulmerich is such a crude fielder, however, that he may fail to land a regular berth. Berger is almost certain-to improve his .310 average of 1930, while Worthington, who hit .376 with Rochester, gives promise of continuing his clouting against major league pitching. Schulmerich hit. 377 in the Pacific Coast League and will be a great help if and when he learns the art of outfielding. Maranville and Maguire comprise an efficient but light-hitting keystone combination. Earl Sheely, former White Sox and Pirate slugger, will cover first. His hitting ability is expected to offset his slowness afoot. Conditions at third are uncertain. Wilson, a star with Rochester, hAs failed to live up to expectations and Chatham is likely to retain his post. . A1 8001, former Pirate, also has been a disappointment and must improve considerably to convince Manager McKechnie his presence is an asset. Spohrer is slated to retain the first string catching duties, despite his weakness at the plate, with Cronin as his substitute.

Shano Collins, the new manager of the Bed Sox, Is one of the most popular men In baseball and is getting a tough break as a starting big league pilot. He was plenty hard-boiled over the three defeats here when he left Washington park Monday for he used three mainstay pitchers, MacFayden, Gaston and Lisenbee. Winsett had a terrible time In the pasture and somebody suggested that he be taken out and permit Babbit Warstler to cover both short and left field. In the second inning Monday catcher Connolly tagged one that looked good for extra bases until Howard Fitzgerald caught up with it and made a running catch. With Kothrock on first in the seventh Sweeney hit a “mile high’’ straight-up fly in front of the plate and the wind shot it away from Biddle’s glove. Johnny grabbed the sphere and tossed to Montague, forcing Eothrock at second. Rated a Ught hitter, Eddie Montague surprised the boys by pounding out six hits in the three battles with Boston.

AUGUSTA, Ga., April 7.—A new spirit of optimism was apparent among the New York Yankees today as they invaded Augusta for an exhibtion game.
