Butler Nine | ‘Shaping Up

Veterans Available at Every Post But Third Base.

Prospects for Butler's 1038 baseball team appeared bright today as Céach Tony Hinkle laid plans for the opening of practice April 4, the first school day after spring vacation. Veterans will be available for every position except third base on the newest edition of the diamond Bulldogs. Only regular to disappear from the 1937 club was Eldon Stal ler, third sacker. Clarence Laymon, third base sub, is gone, as are Pitcher Norval Corpett, who didn’t return to school,

: land "Catcher Byron Schofield, who is

not expected to report because of a knee injury. Hinkle has four returning outfielders from whom to pick his gardening trio before Butler opens its season here April 19 against Purdue. The flychasers are Tom Harding, Andy Boa, Laurel Poland and Jim ‘Hauss. In the infield, Joe Macek, Cody ‘Burdette and Silvio Constantino probably will hold down first, second and short. Jack Naylor of last year’s nine will have to outshine several promising sophomores to win the third basing duties. Returning battexymen are Inmon Blackaby and Al Sporer, pitchers, and Dick Wilson and Jim Kubal, catchers. Sophomores expected to figure promifiently in the new Bulldog lineup are Jerry Steiner, Bob Connor, Paul Herrmann, Melvin Vandermeer and Francis O'Connor. After the Bullldogs play Purdue, their schedule will be as follows: Apri 22, Indiana Central at Butler; April 23, Franklin there; April 30, Earlham here (two games); May 4, Indiana Central at Indiana Central; May 6, Wabash there; May 10, Ine diana here; May 11, Purdue there; May 12, DePauw here; May 16, Wabash there; May 19, DePauw there; May 21, Wabash here; May 23, Indiana Central at Indiana Central; May 26, Indiana Central at Butler; May 27, Franklin here: May 31, InGiana there, and June 4, Wabash ere.

Worse Than Jesse James

Like Ty Cobb, Chapman can destroy deferises by running the bases. He started to run again last year, when he lgd the American Leagtie in stolen hasés for the fourth time in eight. years with 35. He swiped 61 bases for the Yankees in 1931, and threatens to stir up plenty of trouble this trip. Generosity and being & good fellow having failed to get him anywhere, the fabulously wealthy Tom Yawkey has tightened up all the way along the line. His handling of the McNair holdout was the last illustration of this. The New York capitalist spent $1,500,000 for athletes before he was convinced that he couldn't buy a pennant. There will be no more fantastic purchases from Connie Mack or anybody else—that is not unless some gutfit wants to dispose of a first-rate catcher.

Doerr Slated for Second

Next to pitching, that is what the Red Sox need most. The veteran Gene Desautels will have to do in the meantime.

With Roger Cramer, Vosmik, Jim my. Foxx, Pinky Higgins, Chapman, and himself hitting as they should, Cronin figures that he can play a catcher who hits .243 and young Babby Doe'r at second base. Cronin believes that Doerr abe sorbed a Jot of American League knowledge in the dugout last term, ahd is to string along with the Californian at the outset, with Mc= Nair .in reserve.

Foxx, who experienced the worst batting year of his career in 1937, reported early and at weight. Someone had just complained about the American League ball being as bean-baggy as the National, when the Sudlergville slugger busted one 450 feet over the left field fence. Cronin said that Jack W fireball would have accounted or more than 16 victories in 1937 had not the husky Oregonian so frequently taken his turh as a relief worker.
