By Joe Williams 808 World Series Teams Named They’re Pirates, Athletics 808 Writer Just Playing Hunch

YORK, April 13.—1 fa fellow wanted to play a hunch he’d pick the Pittsburgh Pirates to win the National League championship and the Philadelphia Athletics to win the American League championship. And so this department hereby nominates the Pirates and the Athletics to fight it out next fall in the World Series for what is known as the blue ribbon of baseball on the sheer scientific basis that they finished fifth last year and therefore are due to finish first this year. To win their championship this year all the Pirates have to do is make up a decit of It)* j games, the margin which separated them from the top last fall. In the gay village of Dopeland there are no exacting laws to discourage such an ambition. A year ago the Tigers made up a deficit of 25 games over 1933—and won with seven games to spare. If. all forms ton simple for extended analysis and so if you don't mind we’ll turn to the field in general. a a a ana C^IANTS— The tram that should have won last year. Blew a sevenJ game lead in the strrtch. Even Terry, the manager, went down in the general panic, showing he was scareely a John McGraw as an inspirational!, t Addition of Bartoll. return of Davis and physical fitness of Parmelee from r-fart make team obviously stronger. Figure to be closer than teeth in a comb. CARDS—Potentially the best team in league, and will be tough to stop if Frisch can keep harmony in ranks. Two Deans hard to handle, tut harder to hit, which make it more than even. Fellows like Martin, Medwick. Frisch and Delancey make it most colorful, aggressive team in baseball. Rowdies in same sense Dempsey was in ring, Sande on a horse. n a a a a a DODGERS —A dashing gang that talks, eats and sleeps baseball. Sometimes on the bases, too. Managed by Wisecracker Stengel whose wise cracks are steeped in baseball wisdom. A so-so team as it stands, but would go places and annoy haughty people with one more pitcher. CLUB.?—Two new pitchers, Frenrh and Carleton. may help. Boy Scout fir r ba • man, Cavarreta, strictly an experiment. Outfield spotty. Good first division bet. Pennant tips just Grimm's fairy tales. First name, Charley, if you forgot. PIRATES Hunch team running on fifth to first ticket. Backed up by material strength in additions of Bush. Weaver and Hermann, plus remarkable come-backer in Hoyt, whose slogan, being Brooklyn boy, is give till it Hoyts. Bound to be up in there somewhere, hunch or no hunch. B B B B B B BRAVES — Fourth last yeni without Ruth. May be worse this year with him. Except at box office, where artistic wounds of magnates are easily healed. Tbam almost went to dogs last winter, prospects even brighter now. despite absence of gambling element. PHlLLlES—lnteresting young ball club with one great pitcher in Davis, who won 19 games with the seventh-placers year ago. Enthusiastic manager in Jimmy Wilson, local boy. and profuse sloganeer in Blondv Ryan, whose "see your dentist twice a year” saved the world for democracy. REDS Finished an earnest and emphatic last year ago. Can’t, do any worse and may do be'ter Lot of new faces, none of whom would fascinate Elizabeth Arden. Sure of one sell-out. Opening day. When season begins and ends on American Rhine. YANKS — Don’t look the same without Ruth. Neither does Christy Walsh. First time Joe McCarthy has had free hand in running club. Both he and his $37,500 contract on spot. Gomez and Ruffing won 45 games between them last year. If they repeat, club will be the one to beat. TIGERS— One-man ball rlub. Ts anything should happen to Mickey Cochrane it would be Katv shut the door Outfield worse than last year. Youngsters. Green. Owen. White and Rowe should improve. Given same ' luck in lark of injuries as last- year may repent. CLEVELAND— Popular choice to win. Loss of Knickerbocker at short j j blow Good pitchers but not winning pitchers.’ Best outfield in league Weak behind the hat. Hard to beat on home grounds. Walter Johnson fans’ target. Personally think he's got as much out of club as Roosevelt could have ATHT FTTCP—Hunch team No 2. From fifth to first. If old man Mack gets the pitching he'll show 'em something besides a set of scrawny e’bows and a score card. Greatest hazard, next to pitching failure, is in Foxx getting hurt behind the bat.

They have been supplied with three meals each day and have obtained much sleep.

The Indians were scheduled to mix in an exhibition with the Toledo Mud Hens here yesterday, but when game time arrived everybody was frozen. A cold wave hit Mayfield yesterday * morning and increased during the afternoon. Both Indians and Hens went out to the i park, but after a short workout both managers—Killefer of the Hoosiers and Fred Haney of Toledo—agreed that the wise thing to do was to protect the health of the ball players. The game was called off. The Hoosiers and the Hens will try it again this afternoon and then call it quits in the Southland. The Indians will depart for Terre Haute this evening, where they will tackle Bill Burwell’s Three-I Leaguers tomorrow. but they will make the long trip a little easier by laying over in Evansville tonight. Headquarters at Evansville will be the Vendome Hotel and headquarters in Terre Haute will be the Deming Hotel. The Sabbath tilt in Terre Haute will begin at 2 p. m. The Mud Hens will remain overnight in Mayfield and then go home to await the opening of the season with Louisville on Tuesday. The Hens did not schedule an exhibition for tomorrow. Thoams to Pitch Opener So far the Indians have played four games and have split even. Moreover, very little batting practice has been possible. The athletes tried some of it yesterday and it was so cold they couldn’t swing without suffering finger stings. Manager Killefer still has Myles Thomas marked up as his starting pitcher on opening day in Columbus with Riddle catching. He changed from Jim Turner to Thomas yesterday when Turner continued to be annoyed by a slight cold. The opening day Tribe lineup is expected to be as follows: Bluege, ss: Cooney, cf; Stoneham, rs; Stephenson, If: Heath, lb; Bedore. 3b; Sherlock, 2b Riddle, c; Myles Thomas, p. The tribe chieftan announced today that it will be necessary to send the Indians through a batting drill at Perry Stadium in Indianapolis ‘ii Monday. They are short of practice and instead of a holiday on Monday it will be more work. The Tribesters will get out of Terre Haute tomorrow night and go to Indianapolis where they will make headquarters at the Clavpool until they leave for Columbus late Monday afternoon.

Outfielders are Stephenson, Cooney, Stoneham and Cotelle. Bob Kahle. shortstop from Richmond, has been optioned out to Terre Haute.

The rookies released by the Indians last night will accompany the main Tribe squad to Terre Haute for the game tomorrow. All of the American Association clubs expect bad weather in the North next week and the teams that have had miserable weather during spring training may not be so bad off after all. The openers on Tuesday afternoon will be: Indiarapolis at Columbus. Louisville at Toledo, Minneapolis at St. Paul and Milwaukee at Kansas City.

Katherine Rawls By United Press CHICAGO, April 13.—With Katherine Rawls, diminutive all-around star from Miami, Fla., finishing competition last night, interest in the national women's swimming championships was centered today on the attempts of three defending champions to hold their titles. Lenore Kight of the Carnegie Literary Club. Homestead, Pa., second to Miss Rawls as the outstanding figure of the meet, will seek to retain her 500-yard free style crown; Eleanor Holm Jarrett, Olympic champion, is a heavy favorite to repeat in the 100-yard back stroke, and Dorothy Poynton-Hill of Los Angeles will attempt to add the high board diving championship to her title collection. The tourney ends tonight. Both Miss Kight and Mrs. Poyn-ton-Hill will be striving for their second national crown.

Fights Last Night

Louis Halts Lazer Early In Ring Bout —7 Negro Scores Knockout in Third Round; Baer Is Impressed. BY GEORGE KIRKSEL \ nitfd Prrss >tjfY Corrr'pondent CHICAGO. April 13 —The echo of Joe Louis’ lethal punches today drummed warningly against Max Baer's ears. The heavyweight champion last night sat in a ringside seat and watched the stone-faced Detroit Negro slash down Roy Lazer, scoring his eighteenth straight ring triumph and moving nearer a title bout with Baer. Louis knocked out Lazer after 2 minutes. 28 seconds of the third round before 19.641 persons who paid $44,642 to see the bout. Louis weighed 196>2. Lazer 192. Until last night Baer took Louis casually. Once he walked out on him during a fight. But he didn't walk out last night. He sat and watched solemnly every move of the poker-faced Louis. Max Wishes Joe Luck He got in the ring and shook hands with Louis, wished him luck and then started clowning. As he left the* ring, he turned his back on the Negro, sidestepped, and broke into a half run. The crowd laughed. It may be the last laugh Baer will get at Louis’ expense. The first punch Louis landed sent Lazer on the road to his first defeat in 36 bouts. The scowling, heavybearded Paterson <N. J.i boy was frightened when he came out at the opening bell. Louis calmly stalked him, and laid a stiff right punch on his jaw. From then on Lazer was fighting a game but. losing battle. Before the first round was over Louis had opened a streaming gash over his left eye. Floors Foe With Left Hook Louis fought cautiously in the second round, scoring effectively as. he caught up with Lazer in retreat. The third round produced the thrills. A short left hook flush on Lazer's chin dropped him for a nine count, when he came up Louis rushed him, ripped both fists to the head several times and Lazer went down for another nine count. He was barely able to rise. Lazer staggered against the ropes and Louis caught him there. A onetwo punch knocked the Jersey Hebrew unconscious. He toppled to the floor. His whole body was stiff. He couldn't move. His seconds threw in the towel but it wasn't necessary. Referee Davie Miller followed Louis to a neutral corner and raised his hand. Louis’ next match will be with Primo Camera at Yankee Staduim, New York, June 19. Between now and then he will engage in exhibition bouts.
