By Eddie Ash Making a Guess on Big League Races • m m Yankees and Pirates Loom as Winners m m m Wrestlers Face Fight in Windy City

r J' , IIL major league clubs have rolled up their guns and will begin trading baseball shrapnel on Wednesday. The New \ork Yankees and the Chicago Cubs are the consensus choice to repeat as pennant winners, according to the gossip .sent out of the cities on the big lines. We agree on the Yankees to come through. The world champs of Joe McCarthy have the power, phis pitching, and with efficient reserve talent planted at their No. 1 farm club at Newark. The Cubs are not our pick in tne National and we'll string with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Here s the writer’s guess on the American: New York, Washington, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Chicago. Detroit. St. Louis. Boston, In the National few dopesters are giving the Cincy Reds a chance to emerge from the collar despite declarations by Manager Bush that "we won t be last." We have a hunch the race in the senior circuit will wind up as follows: Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Chicago, Brooklyn, St. Louis, Boston, New York, Cincinnati. The National loop stacks up as a close and wild struggle with not much difference in strength between at least six clubs. It may supply many surprises and upheavals. Indianapolis fans, naturally, will be pulling for Oowme Bush to spring n upset and drive his club outof last place. is a fighter of the old school. Barring injuries to players, the Yankees appear to be due to win hands down, with Washington their chief threat. The Athletics lost a lot of attacking power in Simmons. Haas and Dykes. Men of their experience and skill hardly will be matched by new pastimers in the ranks of the Mackmen this year. MAT SPORT RECEIVES BLACK ORB IN CHICAGO WRESTLING appears to be on the way out in Chicago after going over with packed houses there for a couple of years. The mat sport was banned in Illinois for a long stretch and was restored only after a struggle, when promoters, managers and grapplers promised to steer clear of monkey business.” Everything was going along swimmingly until the recent Joe SavoldiJim Londos match. The outcome of the bout, cloaked with mysterious angles, brought down the wrath of the state athletic commission on the necks of the swarm of mat principals in the Windy City. Asa result the sport has been suspended indefinitely pending investigation. Chicago papers were left out on a limb and are beginning to strike back. They were led to believe the affair was for the “world’s championship,” only to discover the tickets read "for the National Wrestling Association title.” Who won? The referee said Savoldi. He gave him the fall. Savoldi agreed with the referee. Londos cried “robber.” Londos’ manager screamed "trickery.” On the level, cross or double cross? Some ai’e guessing it was a build-up for a return match outdoors this summer. Others say Savoldi plans to “jump" to the Strangler Lewis circuit, leaving the Londos wheel with a flat tire. bub b B B NEWSY PICKUPS HERE AND THERE I ■'RED KELLEY, winner of the Oympic high hurdles at Stockholm in 1912, is an air mail pilot on the coast. Lefty O’Doul credits his hitting prowess to a refusal to try to guess what a pitcher is going to throw next. Tony Piet, Pittsburgh second baseman, has Anthony Pietruszka as a real name. Dick Nallin, American League umpire for more than a decade, is still looking for a job. King Kong is the nickname the Detroit Tigers have given schoolboy Rowe, giant hurler. Many of the boys who are supposed to know say that Rogers Hornsby, Travis Jackson and Del Bissonette haven't got it this year. Gabby Street, Cardinal pilot, believes Dizzy Dean eventually will establish himself as one of the greatest pitchers basball ever produced. Nick Altrock. Washington Senators' clown, believes the new beer should go strong in baseball parks. “Ain't the count on it 3 and 2?” asks Nick. a a a b b b Indianapolis knocked off St. Paul two in a row in recent exhibition tilts and on Monday the Saints went to Cincinnati and trounced the big Reds, 7 to 6. That achievement doubtless brought Owner Bob Connery out of the fog. The jovial Apostle chief was starting to shadow box with ghosts of 1932 during the past week-end. tt tt b tt b a Len Koenecke, lefthanded swinging fly chaser who battered the fences for Indianapolis in 1931, has been released to Buffalo by the New York Giants. Len brought a fat price when the Hoosiers sold him to the Giants. It is said the Bisons receive Koenecke in the Blondy Ryan deal. Indianapolis made a hard try to bring about the return of Len to the Hoosier pasture this winter.

1933 Big League Races ! Get Start Wednesday ! * Club Owners Pessimistic: President Heydler Urges National Loop Pastimers to Hustle: Lid-Lifting Batteries Named for Both Circuits. BY JACK CUDDY United Tress Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. April 11.—With the athletes tanned and hardened by weeks of training where the sun shines and the warm winds blow, sixteen major league clubs will inaugurate another baseball season Wednesday. The eve of the 1933 season found the owners in the most pessimistic frame of mind since 1920 when the ‘Black Sox’ scandal threatened to do away with the pastime. The owners, almost without exceptions, expect a decided falling off in attendance and have prepared themselves for the shock by slicing salaries and operating expenses. This feeling of doubt is exemplified in the official communique issued Monday night by President John A. Heydler of the National League.

INDIANAPOLIS, TUESDAY, APRIL 11. 1933

In the past Heydler, as is the ! custom with baseball presidents, al- ! ways confined his pre-season announcements to a description of what a great game baseball was and how magnificently the people were i going to respond to its lure. But this year’s official bulletin , intimated that baseball’s back was 1 against the wall and nothing but the old eternal hustle on the part of the players would make it attractive j enough to cause the citizens to part ; with their money. This feeling of doubt on the part ! of Heydler may be sadly misplaced. | for his own National League promI ises to put on the closest race in I years. And a wide open race, with j several teams battling for the penI nant until the late days of the cam- ; paign, never has failed to bring out the customers. The National League appears as an even battle between no less than five teams Chicago, defending champions; Pittsburgh. Brooklyn, St. Louis and Philadelphia. If these teams stay bunched until midAugust, President Heydler and all the owners will be able to give the depression a laugh. Things do not appear so bright for the American League for the world champion New York Yankees are likely to take charge before a month is gone and go on to a walkaway as they did in 1932. If the Yankees are to be checked, the checking must be done by Philadelphia. Washington or Cleveland. The other four clubs i in the league haven’t a prayer. Eight of the clubs—Yankees, White Sox, Red Sox, Browns, Giants, Dodgers, Braves and Cubs—are i counting on the sale of beer in the parks to bring in added revenve. Probable opening day batteries follow: AMERICAN LEAGUE Boston, Andrews and Gooch: at New York. Gomei and Dickey. Philadelphia, drove and Cochrane: at Washington, Crowder and Sewell. Cleveland, Brown and Spencer; at Detroit. Bridges and Hayworth. Chicago, Durham and Grube; at St. Louis. Hadley and R. Ferrell. NATIONAL LEAGUE New York.
