YANKS SHOW NEW LIFE UNDER M’CARTHY, LEAD LEAGUE

‘Heads Up’ Ball Wins Three Games in Row

Neither Pitching Nor Batting Has Been Sensational, but New Yorkers Loom as ‘Dark Horse’ Threats: Senators Beat A’s Second Time. BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent - NEW YORK, April 17.—New York’s Yankees today held undisputed ’possession of the American League lead, and metropolitan fans now are that the Yanks will prove the outstanding “dark horse" of •the season. The current Yankees’ team is a much different aggregation

than the pepless 1930 edition which dropped its first six games and finished the season sixteen games behind first place. True, the only important change in personnel is the replacement of Bob Shawkey by Joe McCarthy, but the dynamic new manager has succeeded in changing the mental attitude of the club, and has a hustling team. Neither the Yankees’ pitching nor batting has been sensational in the three victories to date, but the team has played “heads up" ball and taken advantage of every break. McCarthy is known as a leader of hard-fighting teams, and if the Yanks continue their, present type of play they are certain to be hard to beat, especially when the pitching and hitting starts to click. Herb Pennock, veteran of the Yankee’s mound staff, turned in the team’s best pitching performance

McCarthy

of the year, when he let Boston down with eight hits Thursday and won his game, 2 to 1. A triple by Lou Gehrig scored the first New Yo~k Tun and a wild throw to home by Lisenbee with three on and one out produced the winning tally in the ninth.

Washington and Philadelphia, pre-season pennant favorites, continued their close competition Thursday, with the Senators winning, 5 to 4, and taking a two-game to one lead in the series. The Athletics were handicapped by the absence of first baseman Jimmy Foxx, who is out of action wtih strained .ligaments in his leg, and neither ■Hank McDonald, rookie pitcher, nor George Earnshaw could hold the Washington team. The St. Louis Browns dropped from a tie with the Yankees for first, when they lost a twelve-inning hattle to Detroit, 6 to 5. The Browns came from behind to tie the score in the ninth and again in the ,tenth, only to have a walk to Gehringer and a long single by Alexander '.score the winning run in the twelfth. Vosmik Bat Star Joe Vosmik, Cleveland sandlotter, and Clint Brown, pitcher, were the heroes of Cleveland’s 7 to 0 victory over Chicago in the other American League game. Vosmik drove in ■four runs with tw’o doubles and a single, while Brown let the Sox down with six hits. Boston’s Braves continued as the surprise team of the National 'League, winning their third straight from Brooklyn, 7 to 4. and remaining in a tie with St. Louis for the lead. The Braves scored seven runs off Dazzy Vance on as many hits, while big Ed Brandt kept the Brooklyn sluggers in check. Charley Wilson, Braves' rookie third baseman, hit a homer in the seventh with two mates on base. Cards Cop Third St Louis Cardinals kept pace by defeating Cincinnati, 6 to 3. Wes Erey kept the Cards in hand for six Innings, but was the victim of a three-run attack in the seventh, and •St. Louis continued the assault on Eckert. Roger Hornsby’s Chicago Cubs dropped from the unbeaten class, when they lost a 4-to-3 decision to Pittsburgh. Grantham’s homer with Waner on base scored the winning runs in the eighth. Clarence Mitchell, baseball’s only left-handed spitballer, had one of his good days and pitched the New York Giants to a 14-to-4 victory over Philadelphia. The Giants pounded four Phillips.

Insco Is Out of Preakness; Will Be Saved for Derby

By Times Special LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 17. Insco, pride of the local turf fans and a favorite in the Kentucky Derby here on May 16, will not go to the barrier in the Preackness, the $50,000 Pimlico event one week before the Derby, C. E. (Boots) Durnell announced today. “The colt is doing fine now and the long trip to Baltimore and back for the Derby might knock him out,” Durnell said. “Insco will get two races under his belt at Churchill Downs before he goes in the Derby, and that will tighten him up for his best race.” Insco was out for a long gallop

GOLF at two Indianapolis private clubs will get under way Saturday with interesting tournaments. The brassie and mashie pastimers at the Indianapolis Country Club will go to the post at noon to play for the Welborn cup. This is an annual event, also the regular season opener, and will be well attended. tt a a At Meridian Hills the play will be a team match. Ralph Elvin, chairman of the golf committee, will select two captains and the captains alternately will select the players as they arrive at the 6rst tee. Incidentally the results of the team match will be watched closely and every one can be expected to “bear down” because the losers will buy the winners the dinner after the play. tt st tt Ed Welch, the genial house manager at the Indianapolis Country Club, won’t get to swing into his regular form for another week. Joe Stickney, chairman of the golf committee, decided to hold the annual early season beef steak dinner Saturday night, April 25. You can always depend on Ed setting the boys up to a good early season steak and they will wait a week for it. tt tt tt JUST because their regular tournament season is not opening, is no sign the boys at Highland, Avalon, Bi-oadmoor and Woodstock won’t be out banging them around Saturday and Sunday. Woodstock, according to Vance Smith, will open up April 25 and Avalon and Highland will get into tournament season action on May 2. Ferd Meyer, just back from Florida, is working on the Broadmoor season program. tt tt tt Crowds galore are flocking to the Speedway course every day. Last Sunday was a record breaker for attendance. It is needless to say any Saturday and Sundav, in fact, most any day. you find yourself on the waiting list when you sign np to play at any of the municipal courses. Each had a record crowd last week-end. Looks like a big golf year. tt tt tt Bill Hoyer, chairman of the golf committee at Avalon, expresses hope that the clubhouse will be ready, at least a big part of it, for the opening May 2. Highland is reported in great shape and Joe Stout, president, and his co-workers are concerned in keeping it that way. tt tt tt Misses Wilma Lee Taflinger and Maurlne Rudolph, members of one of The Times free golf lesson classes during the past winter at the Roy Smith and Dick Nelson golf studio, have been playing every Sunday at South Grove.

Fickle Cub Fans Jeer Hack Wilson, Whose Only Hit to Date Is Single

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Stiff Correspondent CHICAGO, April 17.—Hack Wilson, home run leader of the major leagues last season, and third highest paid player in baseball, has been woefully weak at bat in the first three games played by the Chicago Cubs. Twice against Pittsburgh Thursday, Wilson came to bat with the bases filled and failed to get the ball out of the infield. In three games he has made only a single. On Wednesday he attempted to go from first to third on a single to right by Riggs Stephenson, and was thrown out by yards by Paul Waner. In the ninth inning Thursday Wilson got on base on a force-out, and manager Rogers Hornsby sent in Danny Taylor to run for him. A popular idol with Cubs’ fans when he is on his game, Wilson is frequently jeered by his fickle admirers when he hits a slump. Three lemons were tossed at his chunky frame as he came to bat in the opening game. Only two players in baseball make more money than Wilson. They are Babe Ruth, with his SBO,OOO salary, and Hornsby, who draws $40,000 as a player-manager. Wilson’s salary is $35,000.

Thursday morning, with Steve O’Donnell as steersman. The colt appears about ready for colors, but Durnell plans to keep right at tops until he sends him early during the meeting. Chief John from the Marsch stables turned in the best performance in trials here Thursday. The son of Sir John Johnson went threequarters in 1:16 1-5. • Over at Lexington, everything is in readiness for the opening of the Kentucky turf season Saturday with the annual ten-day spring meeting. At this oval, Trainer Clyde Van Dusen sent Charles T. Fisher’s Sweep All, one of the best western Derby candidates, a mile in 1:46 2-5.

•plated moving him to right field and placing Kiki Cuyler in center field. Wilson said he didn’t want to play right field. During the spring training season he seemed to be pressing too hard for home runs, and barely batted .300, with most of the games against minor league clubs. It’s obvious from the stands that Wilson hasn’t hit his stride and that he is beginning to fight himself. After the famous “sunstroke” he had in the world series of 1929, against the Philadelphia Athletics, he came back the next season and batted .356 and proved that he was dead game. Chances are he’ll snap out of his slump soon and begin hitting frequent home runs, but if he doesn’t he may be sent to the bench by Hornsby who won’t tolerate a star who isn’t delivering if he has a rookie on the bench who can play ball. He has two such players in Johnny Moore, from Los Angeles, and Danny Taylor. Wood Plans More Trials By United Press MIAMI BEACH, Fla., April 17.

N. Y. Mitt Board Reinstates Camera for Sharkey Scrap

By United Press NEW YORK, April 17.—Prirno Camera again is free to ply his trade in New York state, and official announcement of : bout between Camera and Jack Sharkey, at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, on June 10, is expected early next week. The suspension placed on Camera for participation in an alleged fake bout in California last summer, was lifted Thursday by the New York state athletic commission. Members of the commission refused to comment on the reinstatement, other than to declare that the action spoke for itself. Unofficially, it was reported that Camera was reinstated in order that he might meet Sharkey under the promotion of James J. Johnston. Sharkey and Johnston are regarded as the commissions’ “fair-haired boys" and it is believed that the Sharkey-Camera bout will carry recognition by the commission as a “world’s championship" contest. Reputedly, Camera and Sharkey already are under contract for the bout, but the “official” signing has been delayed to avoid conflict with the commission’s rule forbidding promoters to deal with suspended fighters. Camera also is under contract to Madison Square Garden corporation to meet the winner of the Schmel-
