Reds to Base League Hopes on New Men Johnny Mize to Hold Down First Base: Hafey in Outfield Again. BY STI ART C AMERON Vnitrd rr Sport* l.ditor B'l United Pr r * LYNCHBURG. Va.. April 11. Cincinnati's Reds are the b.g experimental laboratory of 1935 major league baseball- Building toward 1936 rather than concentrating on the impending pennant rate. Manager Charley Dressen proposes to string along with promising recruits rather than trust key assignments to seasoned and established players of no great brilliance or future in an effort to quit the National League cellar. . Thus, of course, does not apply to every position, but it does apply to first base where Johnny Mize of Demarest, Ga . who was with Rochester last season, is now holding forth. Mize is just a bit slow and awkward, but he will remain at first even if Jim Bottomley, who quit after a salary argument, rejoins the club. Mize is a timely hitter—scored .313 with Rochester last season, Billy Myers at Third Dressen also proposes to use Ival Goodman, another Rochester product, in right field—the sun field at Cincinnati. Goodman looks like a natural, covers lots of ground and is unusually fast on the bases. Another newcomer slated to be a regular, is Billy Myers, shortstop, who did wed by himself at Columbus last year. Lew Riggs, another Columbus grad, is due to play third. He’s a creditable hitter, with a special forte toward hitting in the pinches. Second base is the current property of Alex Kampouris, a Greek, who is relatively new. He was brought to Cincinnati from Sacramento during the 1934 campaign. The outfield in Redland will be two-thirds veteran. Sammy Byrd, obtained from the New' York Yankees, is due to play center. The great ftnprovement in Chick Hafey’s health clinches a place for him. When he’s right he's as good as the best in the league. Retain Veteran Batterymen The Reds also boast two new catchers, Gilly Campbell from Los Angeles, and Hank Erickson from Louisville. One of these boys may be the club's No. 1 catcher this year, but the veteran Ernie Lombardi is very much in the picture. Old pitchers being retained include Paul Derringer, Si Johnson and Benny Frey. Southpaw Tony Freitas also is being kept and has seemed all right thus far. Dressen has several newcomers he expects to retain. They include righthanders Gfije Schott, a native Cincinnatian, who won 18 for Toronto last year; Leroy Herrmann, who won 27 for San Francisco, and Ray (Peaches) Davis, winner 19 tunes for Ft. Worth, and one lefthander, Al Hollingsworth, another Toronto product. Righthanders Danny MacFayden and Don Bi. nan are holdovers. Yankees Conclude Southern Training Move to Brooklyn for Three Tilts With Dodgers. Bn United Pm* CHARLOTTE. N. C. April 11 The New York Yankees concluded their southern tour here today against the Charlotte Club. Their next stop will be Brooklyn for games with the Dodgers tomorrow’, Saturday anc Sunday. The Yankees beat the Knoxville Smokies yestredav. 9-4, largely because of the batting of Ben Chapman, who made five hits, including two doubles. VAN CAMP IS STAR AS COLONELS WHIP HENS Bn Time* Special UNION CITY. Tenn., April 11.— A home run by Al Van Camp, utility ace. proved the spark plug for the Louisville Colonels as they trimmed the Toledo Mud Hens here yesterday. 4 to 1. The Hens garnered eight hits of! Sewell and Tising. while Bartulis yielded 10 blows to the Colonels.

Lewis Speeds to Victory in Midget Race St. Louis Ace Wins Mayor's Trophy in 30-Lap Event at Fairground. Speed and thrills were dished out in big portions again last night at the midget automobile races, staged before a near capacity crowd at the State Fairground Coliseum. Top speed and a big part of the thrills were registered by Marshall Lewis, St. Louis daredevil, who romped to victory in the 30-lap feature event and received a silver cup from Mayor John W. Kern. Lewis, piloting an Indianapolisbuilt Mannix Auto special, roared around the treacherous course at a speed average slightly under 50 miles an hour to beat a field of nine other starters in the trophy event.

McQuinn was knocked out of this race early w’hen his car was bumped by Jimmy Rogers’ mount in a spin on the curve. The opening event on the program, an eight-lap struggle, saw Householder in a thrilling triumph over Lewis. The Los Angeles driver passed Lewis on the fifth lap and held a nose edge at the finish. Gale Lower tossed a wheel early in this event and skidded into the wall. Two Records Fall Two track records for the tiny gas buggies were shattered last night. McQuinn turned in anew eight-lap mark of 1 minute 27.74 seconds, a speed of nearly 54 miles an hour. The one-lap qualifying mark was dropped to 11.97 seconds by Householder.
