BANNER YEAR PREDICTED BY BIG LEAGUE PILOTS

Rivals Mark Time for Opening Tilts Tuesday Robins, Yanks, Cards and Reds to Start Campaigns Without Full Strength; Chick Hafey Still Is Holdout With N. L. Champs. BY DIXON STEWART, United Pre* Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. April 13.—Major league baseball teams marked time today while awaiting Tuesday's inaugural of the National and American League campaigns. Except for the New York* Giants and Chicago White Sox, who are billed for exhibitions with Army and Toledo, the big leaguers have completed conditioning workouts, and only light loosening-up drills are on tap today. All clubs appear in good physical condition for the start of the season and the managers proved unanimously optimistic in their predictions. All are agreed in the opinion that baseball will have a banner year, with both the National and American loop races hotly contested.

Philadelphia’s Athletics and the St. Louis Cardinals are the popular favorites to retain the honors won in 1930, with Washington receiving the minority vote in the American League and Chicago and Brooklyn finding considerable support in the National. The National League race is regarded as a five-team struggle, with St. Louis, Chicago, Brooklyn, New York and Pittsburgh each conceded better than a fighting chance. Philadelphia and Washington are expected to battle it out in the American League, with the New York Yankees conceded a chance ta batter their way to the top in event the favorites encounter misfortune. Four clubs will start the season without their full strength. The Brooklyn Robins will not be able to use pitcher Adolf Luque for two weeks because of his dislocated thumb, and were further crippled Sunday when Fresco Thompson suffered a spike wound on his throwing hand. George Pipgras, New York Yankees pitcher, is recovering from an appendicitis operation and probably will not be ready for work until May 15. while arthritis is expected

Final Odds NEW YORK, April 13.—St. Louis Cardinals were made 9 to 5 favorites to win the National League pennant in the final odcis quoted by New York betting commissioners today on the outcome of the major League pennant races. In the American League the world champion Philadelphia Athletics were quoted at 7 to 10 to win the crown for the third consecutive year. Other odds on the National League clubs were: Chicago Cubs, 20 to 1; Brooklyn, 3 to 1; New York, 4 to 1; Pittsburgh, 20 to 1; Boston and Philadelphia, 400 to 1, and Cincinnati, 1,000 to 1. American League odds on the other teams were: Washington and Cleveland, 3 to 1; New York, 4 to 1; Detroit, 30 to 1; Chicago, 100 to 1; St. Louis, 500 to 1; Boston, 1,000 to l.

to keep Harry Heilman, veteran Cincinnati outfielder, out of action the entire season.'" - The St. Louis Cardinals are handicapped by the absence of Chick Hafey—sole survivor of the 1931 "holdout” forces. Hafey and owner Sam Breadon of the Cards have been unable to agree on salary terms, and unless the dispute is adjusted within the next twentyfour hours the National League champions will start the season without the services of their leading slugger. Three clubs are starting the season under new managers, with Rogers Hornsby replacing Joe McCarthy in charge of the Chicago Cubs and McCarthy shifting to the New York Yankees, while John (Shano) Collins makes his major league managerial debut as leader of the Boston Red Sox. The opening day schedules are: NATIONAL LEAGUE Brooklyn at Boston. PHtsbureh at Chica-o. St. Louis at Cincinnati. New York at Philadelphia. AMERICAN LEAGUE Detroit at St. Louis. Chicazo at Cleveland, i Philadelphia at Washington. Boston at New York Teams opening the season away from home will make their home : debuts on April 22. with the excep- | tion of Brooklyn, which will profit :by Philadelphia’s Sunday baseball law and appear at Ebbets field for ! a single game with the Phillies on ; April 19.
