Yankees May J Use Crosetti By L fitted Press LOUISVILLE, Ky„ April 6. Frank Crosetti seems to be gaining an edge in the three-cornered fight for the shortstop job with the champion New York Yankees. Regarded as a tail-ender at St. Petersburg in the race with Lyn Lary, veteran, and Bill Werber, star rookie for the job, Crosetti, $75 000 beauty, has redeemed himself in recent exhibition games. He played the entire game against Louisville Wednesday, getting two hits and making two fine defensive plays. The day before, against Nashville, he made two dazzling plays and had a perfect day at bat, getting two doubles and a couple of passes. HEAVY MATMEN AT HUT By United Press TERRE HAUTE. Ind., April 6.

THE TIMES
Years Rob Rath of Speed—He May Lose No. 3 Spot in Bat Order
BY DANIEL M. DANIEL, New York World-Tele*ram Snort* Writer Louisville. April 6As soon as an athlete of outstanding prominence begins to show signs of age, the boys start picking on him. It was thus with Samson, Thor. Hoss Fadbourne, Ty Cobb, Spartacus and Bill Tilden. Now we have the case of George Herman Ruth, better known as the Babe. There is some conversation in the camp of the Yankees of the possibility of Ruth's losing his No. 3 spot in the New York batting order this season. Os course, moving Ruth down, to let us say, fifth place, would be as revolutionary as leveling Yankee Stadium for a chicken farm. But yet, these are revolutionary days. It is explained that Ruth perhaps is getting too slow to keep the No. 3 spot. This place in the batting order requires not only power, but speed. In a game at Nashville recently, for example, Ruth was on first base. Ben Chapman drove what looked like a double into left field, and putting his heaa down, almost ran up the Babe’s back. Ruth reached second and Ben had to scamper back to first. Now, anybody who has suffered the experience of a ball player in spiked shoes dashing up his spine will appreciate that >his type of exercise can not be recommended for the Babe. As he approaches 40, we must not permit Ruth to take too great chances. I say this in no
spirit of levity, as I still rate Ruth the game's standout attraction, and its most powerful box-office magnet. After gazing at some of the young players I have glimpsed hither and
American Derby anti Other J Chicago Purses Are Reduced
i By United Press CHICAGO, April 6. Economy measures have hit purse distribu- | tion for Chicago's first major race | meeting at Washington park, May 22 to June 10. The American Derby, one of the five most famous 3-year-old fixtures, will be worth $25,000 added, instead of $50,000. which has been the value of the stake since 1929. Manager C. W. Hay of the Homewood course, announced that the purse for the Illinois Oaks will be cut from $lO.000 to $3,000. All $5,000 stake events . will be cut in haif. | The reductions were not sur- ; prising, since Col. Matt J. Winn, president of the American Turf j Association which controls Washington Park and Lincoln Fields here, j said earlier this week that there ! would be radical reductions in values of all stakes and purses. Two of the five leading 3-vear-old specials will be run with reduced purses this season. Besides the American Derby, the value of the Pimlico Preakness was cut from
yon this spring, I should rather have ] Ruth hobbling on one leg than a ; dozen of those budding Cobbs and sure-fire Speakers. He still packs •them in.
$50,000 to $25,000. The Kentucky Derby and Belmont stakes remain at $50,000 or more. The Arlington Classic, worth $70,000 added, is likely to be reduced. Colonel Winn left Chicago Wednesday for New' York to confer with Belmont officials before setting the date for the American Derby. He j is endeavoring to avoid a date con- | flict. DE PAUW AND WABASH TANGLE ON DIAMOND By l'nited Press GREENCASTLE. Ind., April 6. De Pauw's baseball team will piay | its first home game of the season here Friday, against Wabash, tradi- | tional rival. The game originally | was scheduled for today but rain caused postponement. De Pauw' lost its first game this season to Indiana university, 3 to 2. Getty and Snow will form the starting battery.
IT is quite pleasing to the Yankees to note that a poll of seven-ty-two baseball writers discloses sixty votes in favor of another world series at the Stadium. The Senators managed to draw twelve ballots for first place, and the Athletics only six. Some super-optimist picked the White Sox. and forgot to mention who would pitch for them.
J Yes, it is all very pleasing to the I Yankees as a group. But Joseph | Vincent McCarthy, manager of the club, is inclined to view this vote with mild, but undoubted, alarm. Sixty out of seventy-two votes means that the Yankees are almost un- ! precedented favorities—.7Bs choices I among the best informed baseball minds of the universe. McCarthy does not want his team Ito become too complacent. Asa | matter of fact, while he visions the j Yankees sure winners, he believes j they will have no cinch. However, that’s what McCarthy j gets for winning the 1932 classic j against the Cubs in four straight games. And to add to Joe's mental burden, there is Jake Ruppert's demand that the New Yorks take another title in four, setting a record of four championships in the minimum number of sixteen contests. It has been pointed out to McCarthy that the Yankees, as well as j the scribes, are aware of the fact i that in 1932 the New York club not only won 107 games and took the pennant by a margin of thirteen, . but set a record by escaping even I a single shutout!
