Talking It Over BY lOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. March 28 —Having dismissed the American League situation for the coming season in mv characteristically scholarly manner. I shall now proceed to make an erudite analysis of the National League entries in the 1932 gonfalon chase, as I believe it is called. To begin with, baseball is a very uncertain game and it is not wise for the prophet or dopcster to become too dogmatic in his conclusions. As President John Heydler so sagely remarked some years ago, "You never can tell." Still I think it is safe to predict that the race this year will be earnestly waged. Became of my growing stature as an expert lit wil! be recalled that I picked the Cardinals to win the series last fall• 1 am encouraged to go even further and predict that It will be an interesting race, that the voting men will be in there trying and that, at the end the laurel wreath will go to the most deserving club. Note from the boss: Snap into your dsne*. What do vou think we spent money to send you io the training camps for?” All right, all right, hut can't a guy get whimsical once In a while’ I always say there is nothing like getting whimsical once In a while. Look what it did for Barrie, and Tunney and Mae West. The trouble with this world is that it is too materialistic. The beer could be Improved, too. m m a WELL, to a man up a tree, or should I say—to yours truly? —it looks like a three-horse race in the National this season. I don’t mean actually that any horse will be in the league, though a nearsighted person might easily mistake Hack Wilson and Shanty Hogan for horses, which would be flattering the horses at that. The Cards still look (he part of a good ball clubs The Giants seem to be Improved, and so do the Cubs. The race, then, figures to be between these three clubs. T don't know how to figure, the Brooklyn*. They have, what the boys gravely call, potentialities. At. times they seem to have the heebie-jeebies, too. They can finish fltst or sixth with equal facility. The Cards spread-eagled their field last season. They beat the Giants home oy thirteen games. That's a big margin in any broker’s office. Conceding that the Cards are Just about as strong now as they were a year ago and this is not a fantastic concession—the Giants, to win. must improve, by at least a dozen games. Applying the same reasoning the Cubs, which finished third, must improve their playing strength bv seventeen games, and the’ Brooklyn, fourth a year ago. must improve by twentv-one games. That calls for an extraordinary amount of added power. These figures show the Cards were in complete command at all times last season. Apparently they can slump and still be very tough. THEY are saying that Cincinnati is the most improved ball club in the National, and this in spite of the fact that they gave up two fine infielders to get the in-and-out Babe. Herman and the heavjl-hoofcd Lombardi. The main difference seems to be in team morale. Manager Dan Howley has his men on their toes, where as last season they were on their backs. A year ago. Cincinnati finished a miserable last Thev were the Joe Becketts of the league. The Cards, for example, beat, them twentv times while losing only two games. Howlev thinks he can drive the Reds up to fourth place. To do this he must improve bv twenty-two games. When the race ended last fall he was that far hark of the first division. The development of one of the door mat teams, such as Cincinnati, into a disturbing power, might easily have a direct bearing on the outcome of the race. If the Reds could have stopped the Cards at all last vear it would have been a race instead of a walk away. At that the Reds dropped a number of hard luck games. Silas Johnson lost ten games more or less, bv one run. Witn Herman in the lineup, and batting to form, a lot of these close ones should go the other wav this season. The presence of one added bitter can. and often does, make a vital difference In 1928. the Cubs lost some thirty games bv one run. and with these games, the league championship. The next vear with Hornsbv on the team the Cubs won most of their close ones and captured the championship The added power of Hornsbv s bat in the pinches told the storv. tt tt tt INCIDENTALLY, Hornsby’s Cubs are likely to be much more dangerous this season. For one thing, Grimes will help the pitching. Hornsby had internal conditions on the Cubs last season that did neither him nor the club any good. With Wilson traded, the opinion is this conditions has been lessened, if not eliminated. Hornsby, a driving leader and a capable manager, is on the spot this season. It is more or less up to him to produce or admit, he is not a success in Joe McCarthy’s shoes. On two occasions in the past, 'once with the Cards and later with the Giants, Hornsbv has shown that he ran handle a club with the hest, of them. Hornsbv won a pennant and a world series for the Cards, and he took the Giants during McGraw's absence and drove them into a spectacular winning spurt. After both performances. Hornsby was mysteriously dismissed. He had personal differences with the front office in St. Louis. Just what happened to him here has never been definitely learned. A Columbus Gets Pat Crawford By Tit> in* Special BRADENTON. Fla.. March 28. Clifford (Pat) Crawford will be. back at first base for Columbus of the American Association this year. Pat batted .374 in 157 games with Columbus during the 1931 campaign, which earned him a trial with the parent St. Louis Cardinal outfit. But the Cards are well fortified at the first sack with Jim Bottomley and Rip Collins, so Pat is back in the A. A. Columbus will welcome him. for Posewits, the rookie who was moved up to take Crawford’s place, has been a big failure in spring training. In 1931, Crawford hammered out forty-one doubles, fifteen triples and twenty-eight homers while hanging up his .374 average and pilfered eighteen bases.

TRIBE LANDS PID PURDY IN SWAP WITH RED BIRDS

Lefty Miller Goes to Columbus; Voter Sold Veteran Southpaw Traded in Deal for Flychaser Who Batted .329 in 1931; Yoter to Manage Danville for Cardinal Organization. BY EDDIE ASH Time* Sport* Editor SARASOTA, Fla., March 28. —Walter Miller, veteran southpaw pitcher, has been traded by the Indians for Everett (Pid) Purdy, outfielder with the Columbus American Association Club, and Elmer Yoter, veteran third baseman, has been released to the St. Louis Cardinal organization to become manager of the Danville team of the Three-I League. It is presumed the Tribe officials eventually will land anew guardian for the hot corner, although the position is protected for the time being by Johnny Kroner and Fred Beaore. Miller was traded because the Tribe has an abundance of hurlers and another fly chaser was needed, and Yoter was sent away owing to the fact the club basses feared his injured leg would not hold up during a strenuous campaign.

Rookie Star Hockey Hero Ha 1 'nited Pert* NEW YORK, March 28.—Ott Heller, blond rookie from the Canadian open spaces, rode the crest of hockey glory today. He scored the lone goal by which the New York Rangers blanked Les Canadiens of Montreal, 1 to 0, giving the. Rangers a two to one lead in the first place Stanley cup play-off. The fast skating youth stole the show before 16,000 frenzied fans at Madison Square Garden when he zig-zagged through the flying Frenchmen and swept the puck into the net with an adroit back-hand shot. Another victory here on Tuesday or Thursday will give the Rangers the first place title.

before the Indians obtained him ■ from Columbus in a trade last summer. He broke his left leg shortly after joining McCann's team. He batted .301 last year and was a member of the Indians once before. It was explained that the MillorPnrdy and Yoter transactions were separate deals. The Miller-Furtiy trade was made through President Larry MacPhail of the Red Birds and Jack Hendricks of the Indians. I Miller won nine games and lost five with the Tribe in 1931. Pid Purdy will join the Indians when they reach home. He batted .329 last season with Columbus, participating in 111 games. He swings left-handed and throws right-hand and formerly played the Cincinnati Reds. Purdy is 27

years old. His 1931 fielding av e rage was .952. Among his hits were ! twenty-seven doubles, three triples and five home runs. The Indians now have five outfielders, Wa 1 ker Fitzgerald. Rosenberg, Purdy and the rcookie, Weintraub. Yoter seemed pleased over the affair that makes

him a minor league manager. He was worried over the condition of his leg and was unable to practice without favoring the weak underpinning. The veteran believes he will regain his old speed later and is of the opinion that acting as playermanager in the little minors will allow him an opportunity to work himself into form gradually. Moreover. Yoter is glad to become a member of the Cardinal organizai lion.

Archie Campbell Goes Route to Defeat A*s BY EDDIE ASH ST. PETERSBURG. Fla., March 28.—Emmet McCann’s Indians took on the New York Yankees here today, hoping to repeat the 7 to 2 drubbing they handed Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics at Sarasota Sunday. In a previous tilt with the Yanks this spring, the Tribe finished in front by a nase, 6 to 5. On Tuesday, the Brooklyn Dodgers will be met at Jacksonville and that night the Hoosier squad will leave for Indianapolis, arriving Wednesday at midnight. John Berly and Bill Burwell were expected to do the pitching against the Yankees today. Tribe headquarters in St. Petersburg will be at the Detroit hotel and in Jacksonville at the Burbridge hotel. The Tribe starting hurler today was advised to work as many innings as he desired. Archie Campbell was “sitting on ——

j the mound throne” today as a result of his great display of hurling j against the Athletics Sunday. He went the entire distance and is the first Indian flinger to go the route. The jovial right-hander held the major leaguers to nine hits and one of the two runs scored off him was unearned. The Tribe moundsman was strong I at the finish despite the early long | assignment and retired the AmeriI can League champions in order in the eighth and ninth rounds. The Indians raked Joe Bowman for five markers in the second stanza and he did not come out for the third frame, Mahaffey relieving him. Bowman allowed five hits in two innings, issued one pass and hit two batsmen. Mahaffey was a distinct improvement and was solved for only six hits in six rounds and one of the two runs made off his delivery was put on the paths by an error. Tom Angley caught the full game and led the Tribe at bat with two singles and a double. Joanah Goldman, restored to his old position as lead-off, poled a double and single, scored two runs and batted in two. Curt Walker also hit the big league pitching for two safeties and batted in two mates. Johnny Kroner turned in a dandy fielding performance at third and held down the hit total of the Athletics by contributing two brilliant stops. Bing Miller was top hitter for Philadelphia with two singles and a double. John Heving, Philadelphia catcher, is a brother of Joe Heving, Tribe hurler, and a family reunion was held. Edide Collins directed the play of the Athletics. roIL P .t ln^Al n '\ went , .Growth the Sunday contest without making a sinsrle change u l ' was the first time thit “ °* the b °y-L saw ine innings of P”; Manager McCann played bang-up baß t?* * b ?? ft and Goldman produced jp to expectations at shortstop despite one miscuo. .

Pritchett, Fehr Grab Second Place in National Pin Meet

Johnny Fehr and Jess Pritchett rolled into first place in the double event of the American Bowling Congress meet Sunday at Detroit having a total of 1,290. Fehr rolled 599 and Pritchett a great 691 series. Starting i with 411 they tossed in a brilliant 475 and then finished with 404 to J reach this total. TJneir lead in this event was short j lived, however, as Frank Benkovic and Charlie Daw, believed by many to be the greatest doubles combination in the game today, followed on the next squad with the third highest total ever scored in the national meet, rolling 1,358 with games of 436, 472 and 450. Benkovic had 690 and Daw 668. Detroit papers reported Friday that Benkovic and Daw had wagered they would roll 1,2 A 0 or better, and one of the largest crowds to attend the meet were on hand to watch them perform.
