A 28% game boosted Herschel Shelby to a 675 series in the Hornaday Milk Co. matches at the Illinois Alleys. It was a season record in the loop. Al Schonecker, rolling in the Optical circuit, also. in action on the Illinois drives, posted a 676 in his trio of games. Bruce Johnson topped Universal League pastimers at the Pritchett Alleys when games of 205, 269 and 194 netted him a 668. Gib Smith's

(Continued from Page One)
Ed Heusser and Paul Chervinko are {a safe guess to work on the firing [line for the Buckeye Birds. The Columbus squad remained in the South until the very last and | delayed their invasion of Indian- | apolis until tomorrow morning. Burt Shotton, a grim and silent baseball figure, is their manager, his second season at the helm in Columbus. His club finished sixth in 1936. Pilot Killefer is beginning his fifth year as chieftain of the Redskins. His clubs wound up. third in 1933, fifth in 1934, second in 1935 and fourth last season. However, his 1936 Indians increased prestige in the post-season play-off and fin- , ished runner-up to the pennantwinning Milwaukee Brewers.
Field in Fine Shape -
The Perry Stadium diamond had dried out today and was firm enough for the players to take regular batting and infield practice. The outfield also was in fine shape and the flychasers limbered up “shagging” the horsehides when they were not occupied at the batting cage. It was announced that all games during the Tribe's first home stand including the tomorrow and the Sunday | tilt with the Red Birds. The Bucks | are scheduled for only two appearances here this trip and will give way to Toledo on Monday.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 16.-—From “boy manager” to “miracle man” with 12 barren years packed in between—
that's the transition Stanley (Bucky) Harris will make this season. He will pilot the Washington Senators to the American League pennant in the biggest upset of the baseball season. After a dozen years of failure at Washington, Detroit and Boston, Harris, who. as a curly-haired youngster of 28, managed the. Senators to their first pennant in 1924 and repeated the next year, is ready to toss another surprise into the baseball world. The setup is exactly the same as in April, 1924. the world title in 1923 and the Senators finished fourth. They were overwhelming favorites to repeat. But in October Washington ruled the baseball world, and the Yanks were dethroned. Last year the Yanks won the world title and the Senators finished fourth. But October, 1937, will see the same story as in October, 1924. The Yankees will crash from baseball’'s highest peak to third place. The power which crushed all opposition last season will be squandered by New York's weak pitching staff. The Yanks can’t win without Red Ruffing, a bitter holdout who led the team last year with 20 victories. If, and when Ruffing signs Manager | McCarthy will still be panicky for pitchers. Case of Di Maggio Then there's the case of Joe Di Maggio, sparkplug of last year's club. He's in the hospital recover-
ling from a tooth extraction and a
tonsilectomy, two ailments which
{rendered his throwing arm useless. { When he gets out there’s no certain-
ty his ailing arm will be well. But Di Maggio’s arm may not be his main trouble. There's something wrong between Joe and the Yanks’ other two Italians, Tony Lazzeri and Frank Crosetti. They shook: hands recently and Di Maggio admitted, “It was all my fault.” But the three San Francisco Italians don’t pal | around together any more. The Detroit Tigers, armed with

CLOSE WEEK DAYS 5:30 P. M. Y,9 P.M.
The Yankees won
a vicious array of hitters, will beat out the Yanks for second place. They lack the pitching to head off the Senators. The Tigers’ two stars are question marks. Tommy Bridges,
|a 23-game winner in 1936, is in a
Detroit hospital with a mysterious ailment. Schoolboy Rowe has a sore shoulder and hasn’t thrown a ball in four days. But there's no question about the Tigers’ power, topped by the “G-Men"—Greenberg, Goslin, Gehringer, G. Walker and G. Cochrane. Cleveland has potentialities and will close quite a gap in the 22'2 games the Indians finished behind the Yanks last year, but will get only fourth. The Indians have the power and pitching but lack leadership, spirit and defense; especially defense, where the infield is akin to a sieve. Bob Feller, Cleveland's kid pitcher, will be a sensation, but predictions of him winning 30 games is loose talk Four Have Chance Washington, Detroit, New York and Cleveland are the only ones with serious pennant chances. It'll be a much closer race than last season. The main factors why Washington will startle baseballdom are: 1. Shanty Hogan, catching the smartest ball of his career. He didn’t catch five years for McGraw for nothing. 2. Eight .300 hitters in lineup every day. 3. League's classiest defensive infield, Kuhel-Myer-Travis, Lewis. 4. Al Simmons, happy and hustling like a rookie, who supplies right-handed power lacking last year. 5. Buddy Myer, 1935 batting champion, who will regain his old form after last year’s illness.
Baseball Expert Picks Washington To Capture American
League Flag
6. Best throwing outfield in league —Stone-Chapman-Simmons. 7. Steady, surprise’ pitching: staff of Deshong, Appleton, Weaver, Newsom, Cascarella, Cohen, Lanahan, Linke. 8. Bucky leadership. Below the four contenders we find Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia and St. Louis in that order. If any team in this group is to crowd its way into first division it'll be the White Sox. They have as good a team as last year when they finished third, but the improvement of other clubs possibly will drop. them to fifth. They have the batting champion in Appling, a great pitcher in Kennedy and a hustling manager in Dykes. The Red Sox are on the upgrade, | but they lack pitching and power in the outfield. Connie Mack's kid pitchers will get the Athletics out of the cellar. The Browns are up against it for pitching and are doomed for last place.

Pittsburgh Boxer Gets Return Bout
Joe Smallwood, Pittsburgh mauler, has been matched for a return bout with Allen Mathews, speedy Negro boxer from St. Louis, for the 10-round headliner on the Armory fistic card next Friday. Matchmaker Lloyd Carter said today.
in a whirlwind “give and take” encounter on the John Henry Lewis program here last Friday, the decision going to Mathews in 10 rounds. Mathews was signed previously with the understanding that he would agree to fight any opponent named. Smallwood leaped at the opportunity for a return bout, Carter said. The Pittsburgh fighter holds a decision over Vince Dundee, former middleweight champion. Mathews has a strong knockout record, his victims including Billy Ketchell and Tommy Freeman. On two occasions he went 10 rounds |with Freddie Steele, the middleweight titleholder: ;
