Talking It over BY JOE WILLIAMS

YORK, April 11.—Another ” baseball opener is at hand. The teams are back from the training camps—or to be truthful, the ballyhoo camps. Theoretically spring training is a vast program devoted to reducing girths and stiffening sinews, but its most material benefits from the box office point of view accrue from the sustained razzle-dazzle that reawakens the drowsy customers and heralds the approach of opening day. .tvfragf age of th* big leagua ball Pla.ver la under thirty.

Baseball's most marked advance has been commercial. A voung bail Player that won’t bring *50,000 in the open market these days is looked upon with suspicion anti skepticism, if indeed he is looked upon at all.

No other American League team has ever won four pennants in a row. Most of the critics are picking the Yankees, and mainly on the hunch that tradition is a tough factor to subdue. Added to the hunch is the almost general feeling that the greatest player of modern times—Babe Ruth —is due to blow. This is the start of Me. Ruth’s eighteenth year as a big leaguer. Other players have lasted longer, but they were geared for the long run. Mr. Ruth is a fat man with slender legs, and legs are important in baseball. When they go, you are through. As far back as 1921, ball plavers wer? predicting that Mr. Ruth would fold up in two or three years. Instead he kept nn coming at an amazing pace, set. anew record for home runs and then beat it just to prove that, it could be done. At 38, Mr. Ruth is no longer the ball player he used to be. He can’t get Around the bases with his old time speed and he T .needs a lot of help in the outneid. It may or may not be significant r^ n V? and you tl,at Mr ’ Rl 'th hasn't played through a full season since 1928. Always the gentleman, has been the spear head of the Yankee attack. The slogan, “As Ruth goes, so go the Yankees is not a jest. There is no telling how he will go this vear. If he goes back the Yankees will ‘probably go with him. *

Big League Openings Threatened by Rain BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Corresnnndent NEW YORK. April 11.—Major league ball players may be forcer! to clasp hands and sing old nursery ditties today and Tuesday unless th® weather man shuts off the sprinklers so the baseball season can ge® under way, as scheduled. President Herbert Hoover was scheduled to toss out the first ball fori the Senators and Boston Red Sox at Washington today, but the horse* hide sphere may make quite a splash when it lands—if it lands. Tuesday the season opens in eight of the eleven major league cities. Six out of nine exhibition games were called off Sunday because th® athletes had not been equipped with outboard motors.

The New York Giants,. whipped into shape by 59-year-old John McGraw, face the Phillies at the Polo Grounds, starting McGraw’s thirtieth successive campaign as leader of the Giants. At field, Brooklyn, the revamped Dodgers will demonstrate the handiwork of their new manager, Max Carey, when they oppose the Boston Braves.
