WHITE SOX LOOK NO BETTER THAN SECOND DIVISION

Need Minor Miracle to Remain in Sixth Place % Club Lacks Southpaw Hurlers and Hitters, and Needs Strengthening Behind Bat to Bring Up Balance to Winning Caliber. BY JACK CUDDY United Press Stafl Correspondent NEW YORK. March 30.—The Chicago White Sox. who haven't finished :n the American League's first division since the "Black Sox” scandal of 1920. appear to have little chance of winding up among the first four this season. Your.g Lou Comiskey and his associates, during the past two offseasons, have tried to build a club with color and drive. Aided largely by the acquisition of A1 Simmons. Mule Haas and Jimmy Dykes from the Athletics, the Chisox finished sixth in 1933. Since the end of last season, big George Earnshaw, veteran righthanded pitcher of the Athletics and several promising rookies were added, but the aggregation in training at PasarJena appears too spotty to finish even sixth. The White Stockings appear destined for a seventh-place

berth, just above the Browns. Manager Lew Fonseca’s men have not been impressive during their California exhibition games, winning only once in six starts against major league opposition. They beat thp Cubs once, but lost to them three times. The Pirates downed them twice. In addition to being somewhat unbalanced by the lack of southpaw pitching and hitting, the club is weak in catching, weak in the outfield and only fairly strong on the mound. Haas Back in Sick Bed Earnshaw-, who was on the outs with Connie Mack at Philadelphia last season, promises to regain his 1931 form when he won twenty-one and lost seven. In 1933 he sank to five won and ten lost. To offset this sunshine, center fielder Mule Haas, always more or less subject to injury and illness, has developed rheumatism. He is being boiled out at Hot Springs, Ark. He must be considered a question mark. The infield is expected to line up with a newcomer, Henry Bonura, a .357 hitter from Dallas on first base; Minter Hayes at second; Luke Appling at short, and Jimmy Dykes at third. Fonseca, Red Kress and Joe Chamberlin are reserves. If Bonura comes through as expected, he should add punch to the infield. Tn the outer garden. Simmons, who hit .331 last season, wall have command of left field. If Haas recovers he will be back at center. If he doesn’t, three others will fight for the center and right posts: Frenchy Bordagary, a .351 hitter bought from Sacramento this month; Evar Swanson, and Ernie Uhalt, a recent Pacific Coast League acquisition. This outfield situation is worrying Fonseca plenty. Need Southpaw Hurler All fifteen pitchers on the squad are light-handed, and the skipper is seeking a good southpaw. Starters are expected to be Earnshaw, Sam Jones, Ted Lyons, Whitlow Wyatt, Ed Durham and Milton Gaston. Lyons had a bad season in 1933, but looks good in training. Durham has been handicapped this spring by a sore arm. The most promising young fimgers are Lee Stine of San Francisco, John Pomorski of Montreal, Leslie Tictje of Dallas, and Phil Gallivan of Buffalo. Fonseca needs a good catcher badly. He has four backstops, but none of big time caliber. They are John Osek. Mervyn Shea, Morgan Snyder and the veteran, Muddy Ruel. All are newcomers. PELICANS SHADED IN EXHIBITION TILT By United Press NEW ORLEANS. March 30. Cleveland nosed out New’ Orleans, 5 to 4, in an'exhibition game here yesterday with Clint Brown starring for the Indians. Brown pitched the full nine innings and drove in three runs. The Cleveland club purchased Eddie Moore, veteran New Orleans infielder, for an unamed cash sum and several players to be selected later. The score: New Orleans 100 001 002— 4 8 3 Cleveland .. 000 021 002— 5 9 3 Le Blanc. Capdeville. Cumberland and Autry. Hell. C. Brown and Myatt, Spencer. STENGEL EYES DEAL By United Press ORLANDO. Fla . March 30.—Manager Casey Stengel of the Dodgers made it known today that he will consider an offer from the Braves for a deal involving one of Brooklyn's six second basemen. According to camp gossip. Stengel might agree to trade his first stringer. Tony Cuccinello. to the Braves. The Dodgers would like Ed Brandt, the Braves’ ace southpaw. Manager McKechnie of the Braves, in search of a successor for the injured Rabbit Maranville, is expected to make the Dodgers an offer. BIRDS DEFEAT CARDS By Times imperial AVON PARK. Fla.. March 30. Five double plays aided the Columbus Red Birds in their win, 7 to 6, over the parent club, the St. Louis Cardinals, in an exhibition contest here yesterday. The Birds nicked Carleton, Cardinal moundsman. for 7 hits and 3 walks, and collected 3 scattered hits and 5 walks from Winford, who relieved Carleton. C.I S MANUUSO RETURNS By Unite and Press DOTH AM. Ala., March 30.—The world champion New York Giants deserted. Florida for the first time this season today and met the Nashville Volunteers, their farm team. Gus Mancuso, first string catcher whose illness prevented him from starting spring training with the rest of the team, will be left here to get into shape. It may be a month or six weeks before he can go behind the bat regularly. BICYCLES J l2i=‘ s 34^ Repairing and Parts HOFFMANS Mas* A Delaware St*. 245 g. Wash. t y .

Garden Matches Loughran Against Neusel May 5

BY HENRY M’LEMORE I'nited Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. March 30.—The boys who worked the CameraLoughran fight in Miami tell me that Tommy believes he is divinely destined to win the world's heavy-, weight championship, and that even the kicking around Primo gave him failed to shake his faith. Madison Square Garden must share in this belief, too, for yesterday it matched Loughran with Walter Neusel for a ten-rounder on the night of May 5, with the winner almost certain to get a shot at the fellow who is champion w’hen Max Baer and Camera finish their shooting match in June. If the Garden was crazy in making this match, Loughran was twice as daffy in taking it. He'll be divinely tired rather than divinely inspired at

CUBS WIN OVER PIRATES By I nited Pn ss LOS ANGELES, March 30.—Five hits and the type of pitching Roy Joiner. Oakland rookie, exhibited, may be enough for the Chicago Cubs to win a lot of ball games in the National League this season. Two of the hits were home runs by Galan, rookie third baseman, and Camilli, substitute first baseman, and gave the Cubs a 5-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Although allowing a dozen hits, Joiner kept the Pittsburgh runners so far apart that they threatened only in the eighth when they scored their single run.

the end of this one. And the “end” is likely to be well in advance of the scheduled ten rounds. I’ve argued all along that the first tough gent who gets in there and crawls all over Loughran at the bell, and keeps crawling without a letup, is a cinch to put him away. Jimmy (Bow-Tic) Bronson, the man who put Tunney on top, and who now is assisting in the handling of Neusel, called shortly after the match was made, and said his man couldn’t miss kicking Loughran inside of eight rounds. Neusel, by the way, has made the fastest climb of any heavyweight in years. He has risen from nowhere at an even more spirited pace than did his countryman, Max Schmeling. Walter arrived here less than six months ago, and he arrived practically unknown. Today, well he’s in there pitching ’em in the Garden, which is still top house of the world.

The New Yorker pounded out a 211 to 147 win over the Marion county sheriff in the first game, and in the second ran into a few difficult splits to drop a game to Buck. 167 to 183. In the third, the champ dropped 194 pins to Sumner’s 169, for a match count of 572 to 499. Eddie Striebeck held Falcaro to 213 to 214 in their first game, and the New Yorker won the second, 229 to 175, and the third, 244 to 187, for a match score of 687 to 575. Falcaro copped the initial game from Dan Abbott, 235 to 217, and dropped the second, 225 to 235. Both slipped in the third game, Falcaro winning, 170 to 168, and in the final tilt Falcaro won, 248 to 192, for a total of 878 against Abbott’s 812. Falcaro averaged'a little more than 213 for the ten games. After the three matches Falcaro treated the fans to a number of trick shots. Tonight he will appear at the Indiana alleys, where he will meet Walter Heckman, Les Koeiling and Leo Ahearn. Saturday afternoon and night Falcaro will show at the Parkway alleys. Sunday afternoon he will be at the Uptown alleys and Sunday night at the Fountain Square drives.
