RUCK’ HARRIS visions a place in the first division $27 for his Washington Senators. . . . Owner Clark “Griffith. who every spring hitches his predictions to a star, ta'ks about knocking off the Yankees. . . . Enthusi“asm abounds in the Senators’ camp. . . . The big reason is Zeke Bonura, first baseman, obtained from the Chicago ‘White Sox in exchange for Joe Kuhel. “I have to pinch myself to believe we really have PBonur:.” says Harris. . . . “We didn’t get enough runs last “year, making less than any club except the Athletics. and "Browns. . . . We-had more men left on base than any . ‘other club in the league, but I think Zeke will do :some- ~ thing 2bout that.” ° : Harris thinks the ‘right-handed-hitting Bonura balances ‘he Senators’ attack, which was predominantly lefthanded last year. . . . This year they have three righthanded hitters, Bonura, Al Simmons and Rick Ferrell. ; 8 mn 2 = = THE two big Washington problems right now seem to. be Al Simmons, 35-year-old outfielder whose lifetime battine average is .342, and the pitching staff. . . . Simmons, ‘who had his hand broken twice last year and slumped accordingly to 280, ‘has shown promise of a comeback. ! : ; “Simmons is trying hard and looks well,” Harris says. “There is every reason to indicate he’ll make the grade.” Manager Harris hopes his two southpaw youngsters, Joe Krakauskas, 200-pounder, and Kendall Chase, who beat the Yanks twice in Yankee Stadium late last year, will make ood and round out his staff. . . . Wes Ferrell, Jimmy Deshong and Monte Weaver are counted on as the hig three. . . . The others will be Chief Hogsett, Pete Appleton, Ray “hebus, who pitched a one-hitter against the Red
Sox late last.year, and Emil Leonard, up from Atlanta. #2 % = Ce 7 ASHINGTON'S infield will be Bonura_ at first, Buddy Myer at sacond, Cecil Travis at short and Bud wis at third, one of the best-hitting units in the league. . . . The/ outfield will be Simmons in le’t, Mel Almada in center and Johnny “Stone in right. . . . Defensivelv the outfield is good, but its batting power depends on Simmons. ‘« «» f Simmons fails, young George Washington Case, one of the fastest men baseball, will take over left field. . . . Goose Goslin also is around trying to win a job, but it’s too early to tell about him. Rick Ferrell, Tully recovered from last year’s broken hand, will’be the éarst-string catther, with Angelo Giuliani, bought from the St. Louis Browns, the ", Ossie Bluege will be the infield utility man. : : : y 2 8» =» QFEING up the rest of the league Manager Harris says: “The Yankees, J of course, are still the club to beat. Detroit is strong, but the Tigers’ ‘problem is pitching. Rowe doesn’t look good to me. Cleveland will be a better club with Allen and Feller pitching regularly. “T look for the White Sox to drop out of the first division, We hove to take their place up there. [The Red Sox look better and may be our big opposition for a first division berth. ” DT «I think our attack is strong take us into the first
; C enough to division. Every man in the batting order is a potential .300 hitter. ‘We'll get plenty of men on base, and if Simmons and Bonura hit up to expectations we should score a lot of runs.”

FE ILI. MGOWAN, veteran American League umpire, has some inter- . esting stories which he supports with facts. . . . One concerns B-he Ruth. . . . McGowan said that in the 1928 World Series, in which th- Yankees beat the Cardinals four straight, Ruth had given a far more notable exhibition of “calling his shots” than he had in the more publicized 1932 classic between the {Yankees and Cubs. “In that game in St. Louis in| 1928, in which he hit three home runs, Ruth called his shot on sll three occasions,” McGowan said. “The first time up he fanned, and the left field bleacherites welcomed him out there with a shower of lemons. “Ruth grinned and showed them where his next effort would be ¢irected. After he had done it three straight times - those .fans- got up en masse and gave him one of the greatest qvations a player ever got on a foreign field.” | 2 8 = 8 8 = r = toughest play Umpire McGowan has seen in 24 years came in | a Baltimore-Buffalo game in 1921. «Baltimore just had ended a winning streak of 28 straight,” Bill ~ecounted. “In the ninth, with one out and the bases full, and the Orioles one to the good, Sargeant of the Bisons walloped a line drive .etween short and third. Maisel, at third, dived and missed. Boley, at short, also dived and speared the ball. But what nobody else saw was that as Boley fell he dropped the ball momentarily. : “The two clubs quit the field as Boley threw to Maijsel for what looked like a double play. The crowd was leaving. It took plenty to call the play and insist on the game being resumed. But Boley told Manager Jack Dunn the truth. The Orioles lost.”
10-1 Choice To Score K. O.
Bomber Hopes to Make Better Showing Against Rival Than Max Did.
CHICAGO, March 30 (U..P.).— Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis, grooming his explosive right fist for a quick knockout, ended training today for a scheduled 15-round title fight Friday against Harry Thomas,
Minn. : - Anxious to dispose of Thomas quicker than did his conqueror, Max Schmeling, Louis finished the grind with stress on his right hand punch. Schmeling stopped the artless Thomas in the eighth round. There was little wagering, bub odds still remained at 20 to 1 and 10 to 1 that Louis would retain his world title by a knockout. & Approximately - $30,000 worth - of tickets were reported sold and the bout may not do better than $60,000
Louis opened up with his right for the. first time yesterday, abandoning the cautious left jab which carried him through most of ‘the earlier workouts, the Bomber ripped into his three sparmates repeatedly, often leading with his right. Careless on Defense
Thomas, who fights from a weaving crouch, is a slow swinger and cangbe hit with either hand. The champion, however, appeared careless in his defense during these flurries although he never was hit solidly. : He worked:two rounds each with George Williams and Tom Jones of Chicago and his old standby, George Nicholson of Yonkers, N. Y. He knocked down Jones with his first right-hand punch and let up. Williams, first to box with him, was staggered several times in each round, but stayed on ‘his feet. Thomas resumed today after a rest and planned to spar at least six rounds. As his fitle chance neared, he still retained his confidence and showed no traces of the “Louis jitters” which have sent more than cne man against the deadly Negru shivering in his socks. “I've got to go to the dentist again today,” he complained. “Golly, I hate that worse than climbing in there with Louis.” :
