YANKS. FACE STIFF F IGHT
Some Ex Expect Big Upset in Junior Loop
Point to Champ’s Poor,
Showing in Camp; Absence . Of Di Maggio Hurts.
By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondens
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., April 4. —There’s a good chance that the American League race this season won’t be another one of those “cut and dried” Yankee triumphs. The Yanks may win it again but there's enough evidence to indicate that anti-Yankee opposition will be the severest since the Ruppert rifles took command of the baseball world two years ago. A majority of the press box boys favor the Yanks to make it three in a row but they always go along with a winner until beaten. Some of the more shrewder baseball bigwigs scent trouble for the Yanks. Connie Mack says the Yanks are far from invincible and that they’ll find their third flag the hardest of all to win. Clark Griffith comes out flatly and says the Yanks will be dethroned. Mickey Cochrane says he doesn't see how the Yanks can get any better and he firmly believes the entire league is moving up to them. If spring exhibition games meant anything, the downfall of the Yanks could be safely predicted right now. They've looked feeble at bat. Their mighty power has been missing and their defense has wobbled in spots. But the Yanks have a habit of

Tribe Tackles Montreal at Lake Wales

17-4 Drubbing at Hands of Syracuse Club.
3 | Times Special BARTOW, Fla., April 4—With their Grapefruit League winning streak snapped at four straight by the Syracuse Internationals here yesterday, the Indianapolis Indians set out for Lake Wales today to try their luck against Rabbit Maranville’s Montreal Royals. The Indians really looked the part of a Rall club here Saturday when |they collected 14 hits and trounced Steve O'Neill's Buffalo Bisons, 7 to 1, but it was a different story yesterday. Jim Bottomley’s Syracuse’s Chiefs cut loose and pounded the offerings of the Hoosier hurlers for 15 blows, including two doubles, two triples and a home run. The Chiefs won by the| lopsided score of 17 to 4, and at one time the count was 17 to'O0.
| Eight Runs in Third :
Indianapolis failed to score until the seventh inning while Syracuse rolled up markers in clusters of four in the first frame, "eight in

first two stanzas and out of his
Phillips relieved Riddle in the third and failed to do much better. Clay Smith [and George Gondira also saw service on the Tribe mound.

The Yanks have two in this class— - shortstop Frankie Crosetti, who hasn’t played an inning this spring because of a charley horse, and pitcher Monte Pearson, whose ineffectiveness has made -him a real problem. he Yanks’ most dangerous rials, the Tigers, also have {wo key men in the doubtful class, pitcher Tommy Bridges, who has a chipped bone in his right elbow and may not be able to pitch until May 15 and Schoolboy Rowe, whose attempted comeback must remain doubtful until he tries out his arm in May. The third-place Chicago
White Sox received a cruel blow |
when shortstop Luke Appling’s leg was broken and their ace pitcher, Monty Stratton, pulled an arm ‘muscle. a All calculations point to the Tigers and Indians as the Yanks’ two strongest Tivals. The Tigers have the punch—featuring Gehringer, Greenberg and York—and the defense. Their main worry is pitching, where the loss of both Bridges and Rowe might easily kill them off as a stubborn challenger.
Cleveland Has Punch
Cleveland’s bid to challenge the Yanks can’t be laughed off when the Indians can toss a pair of pitchers like Johnny Allen and Bob Feller into the fray. The Tribe's infield is none too stable but the team has punch and can make trouble under Oscar Vitt’s driving leadership. . The White Sox, who might have been dark horses, seem temporarily out of the pennant picture because ‘of injuries. They may even have to battle to stay in the first division now that ‘they've temporarily lost Appling and Stratton plus their two leading run manufacturers, Zeke Bonura and Dixie Walker, who were traded away. In second division Washington and the Red Sox sdem to have made some improvement. Bonura will add teeth to the Washington attack and if Al Simmons keeps up his spirited comeback the Senators may make a -serious first division bid despite an uncertain pitching staff.

with the cigar,
entertained a few bright ideas anent his Chicago White
Sox going some place in the American League pennant race. But that, as we stated, was a month ago—long before Luke Appling’s leg was broken, and before Monty Stratton threw his arm out.
Losing the offensive power per- ®
sonified in Zeke Bonura was bad enough, but losing Appling, too, just about ruined their punch at the plate. The star shortstop, who was one of the most consistent hitters in the league, will be out for at least three months.
Defensive clubs have w the American League pennant before, but it would be strange, indeed, if the Pale Hose were to win their way into the World Series in this gay and age of New York Yankeem. ~ . Although the Sox have one of the best defensive units in the junior circuit it’s the base hits that count, and that’s where Dykes starts to moan. With Bonura gone and Appling unavailable for some time, Gerald Walker, who hit .335 for Detroit last year, looms as the lone power hitter on the squad. Kuhel, who is fitting in nicely at first base, may supply added punch if he can return to his .320 form of two years ago. Pitching Staff Hit, Too
Ray Radcliff, who hit. 325 last season, surprisingly enough will not start in center field. His hitting would come in handy but Dykes figures John Rosenthal’s defensive work will offset his ineffectiveness with the willow, Naturally, if a team is going to depend on its defensive strength to win ball games, it will have to have good pitching. The Sox have just part of that—or will have if Stratton’s arm responds to treatment. And it'll be a month before he’s ready again. “The loss of Vernon Kennedy weakened the pitching staff. It would hurt any club to lose a pitcher of his caliber,” explains Dykes. “But, if one of the youngsters comes through, we’ll get by all right. “Monty Stratton, if he recovers
completely from his injury, may win 20 games. Bill Cox, a youngster, is
coming along and, of course, we vanduc
still have Ted Jones, John Whitehead and Thornton Lee.” Dykes’ infield and outfield will be made up of veterans and only in centerfield is there much chance of a change. Marvin Owen, who came 40" the Chicago club in the Kennedy deal, is a certainty at third, while Boze Berger is being counted on to replace Appling at short. Jack Hayes has second all sewed up and Kuhel has delivered at first.
Big Ten Rivals To Play Annually
3 CHICAGO, April 4 (U. P.).—Big Ten coaches attending the National Association of Basketball Coaches convention tcday approved a new scheduling ° system adopted last month by Big Ten athletic directors. Under the new plan, which will become effective next winter and be retained if successful at the end of a two-year trial period, each team will play three traditional vivals annually in a home-and-home series, three single games away and three single games at home. This would enable each team to play every other team in the league each season.
