'—KEight Na- tional League baseball clubs have been ‘winning league games on paper for two months or more. Tuesday with a little cooperation from the weather man, they'll see if it’s just as easy to win them on the ball field. Some 120,000 persons were expected at the four opening games in New York, Brooklyn, Cincinnati and St. Louis. ‘The opening schedule was: Pittsburgh Pirates at St. Louis Car- | dinals. Chicago Cubs at Cincinnati Reds. Boston Braves at Brooklyn Dodgers. Phillies at New York Giants. Race To Be Close Whatever the final result of the pennant drive that ends Sept. 25, the Jeague looks forward now to one of the most interesting races in its lonz history. By trade and purchase, all eight clubs have strengthened ‘weak spots in defense or offense until it ap- pears not one can be used as a con- venient stepping stone for such out- Standing pennant contenders as the world champion Cardinals, the Giants or Cubs. Perhaps the Cardinals deserve to be rated as heavy favorites to win their third straight pennant but some ob- servers believe the champions wid feel the loss of Burleigh Grimes, vet- eran right handed pitcher, and out- fielder Chick Hafey, champion in 1931. Except for the pitching staff, the Cardinals, Giants and Cubs start the season with only one change apiece in their lineups. The Cardinals will have Jimmy Collins in the outfield in place of Hafey; the Giants will use Len Koenecke in left field at least} when opposed by a right-handed pitcher; and the Cubs will play Stan- ley Hack at third base. Add Players The Phillies’ principal addition ts outfielder George Davis while the Braves count on Art Shires at first base and Fritz Knothe on third. The Pirates will present an unchanged lineup although their second base- man, Tony Piet, played only a few games last season. FProoklyn and Cincinnati present the greatest changes and it. is these two clubs that may furnish most of the fireworks. Brooklyn has added Hack Wilson to the outfield. Tony Cuccinello, Joe Stripp and George Kelly to the in-| field, Clyde Sukeforth to the back-) stopping department and Waite Hoyt! to the pitching staff. Cincinnati, which rounded out its infield by trading Benny Frey and Harvey Hendrick to the Cardinals for Hafey Monday, will have such other newcomers as Babe Herman, Taylor Douthit, Andy High, Wally Gilbert and Ernest Lombardi. {ou HELLO! ~~ YES ~—-His iS HE HOOPLE ASYLUM tae WHO?

A ‘comfortable stance and grip is neces- sary to accomplish this, Regardless of the style of grip, it should be light. Putter should rest in the fingers and thumbs with enough firmness to keep it from twisting when the ball is struck. One of the greatest putters of all time was the late Walter Travis, first American to win the British Amateur hampionship. His grip put the first wo fingers of the left hand over the third and little fingers of the right. Travis taught Bobby Jones this grip when Bobby was a poor putter. He employed the right hand to control the swing and became as great a put- ter as Travis. THIS IS TAE GRID EMPLOYED WHEN ‘THE FAMOUS CALAMITY JANE SWINGS INTO ACTION. NEXT: The square stance.

Work of conditioning the Demons has been in progress for the last two weeks with aspirants taking daily workouts in cross country jaunts. Lloyd Murphy, pole vaulting cap- tain, will lead a team whose most po- tent weapon is strength in the field events. Murphy, who cleared the bar at over 11 feet, two inches last year, is expected to be one of the Demons most consistent point annexers. Dohn, whose all-around athletio ability has made him a factor in every sport, will understudy Murphy in the pole vault in addition to running the high hurdles. Potter also is regarded as one of the men who will represent the locals over the big sticks. Bolter has shown promise in heav- ing the weights and gives every indi- cation of developing further, accord- ing to Roy D. McLeod, who is direct- ing the destinies of the team. Heiser, a newcomer in the ranks, {s another promising weight man. He represented Selfridge in the Capital City track meet last year and walked off with first honors in the shot put. Green is regarded as the most promising of candidates for running berths and probably will represent the Demons in several events. Although still to early to make any definite predictions, Coach McLeod indicated he believed the available track material was better than aver- ge. The locals are expected to enter four meets this year. They will be [hosts at the Capital City meet in ad- dition to being entertained in the state meets at the university and ag- ricultural college. A. C. Van Wyk, George Hays, ‘Shakey’ Schaumberg and Myron An- 'derson are acting as assistant coaches.

Thousands upon thousands of people will pay millions of dollars to see their heroes on the gridiron, the baseball diamond or in the fight ring. But they won't go to see them on the screen, It is an: established fact that an impassable barrier separates sport- dom from moviedom. Dozens of heroes from the sporting world have been imported by film producers. Yet, with the exception of Bobby Jones, every one has failed to “click” with movie fans. And Jones did not come as an actor but as an instructor. The series of shorts which he made were not for entertainment as much as for instruction on how to play golf. -* k Despite past failures, however; film Producers still continue to import sport idols in hope of “cashing in” on their reputations. Babe Ruth is the latest of these to be presented with sacks of movie gold. The Babe now is in Hollywood making a series of short baseball films. Perhaps they will prove popular—perhaps not. Others have tried to break the jinx which apparently has hovered over sports heroes who have tried to crash the movies. For three years Harold “Red” Grange was a sensation on the football field. Sports writers sat up nights trying to think of new adjec- tives with which to describe this mar- vel of the gridiron. He was known throughout the nation. But as a movie actor he was a “flop.” He made two pictures, the first of which was fairly successful. The second was @ terrible failure. * Oe OK Gene Tunney made a picture which was released just about the time he|}; won the heavyweight championship from Jack Dempsey. But even the fact that he was a new champion couldn’t drag people into theaters to see him on the screen. Prior to that Dempsey, while he was champion, tried his hand at pictures—and failed. Georges Carpentier came over here from France, made a picture—and went back to France again. 1 Charlie Paddock, known for years as “the world’s fastest human” and one of the outstanding track stars of SEEKS ANOTHER OL VANES.

New York went wild over her when she returned to this country. Producers stumbled over each other in their frantic efforts to get her name on the dotted line—and she “flopped.” Ruth Elder saw her name blazoned in’ headlines as the first woman to attempt a flight across the Atlantic. Ruth apparently had everything necessary for screen success. She was famous, she was pretty. But the movie public didn’t take to her.

Babe Ruth Promises Misery For Pitchers With His War Clubs Poised Chicago, April 12—(4)—The Amer- ican League pennant chase, a strug= gle dominated for six straight years by Philadelphia and New York, broke into the open again Tuesday with the same two formidable rivals pitted against each other in the grand in- augural feature at Shibe park. ‘Washington's Senators, off to a flying start with an old fashioned 1 to 0 victory over Boston in their 10- inning opener Monday, moved over to the Red Sox camp for their sec- ond engagement, Cleveland invaded its lake shore rival, Detroit, while the St. Louis Browns braved the chilly blasts of Lake Michigan at the home field of Chicago's White Sox. Given any encouragement by the weather, nearly 95,000 baseball faith- ful were expected to watch the big send-offs. Lured by a mid-season natural, 30,000 were anticipated at Philadelphia to view the first test between Babe Ruth and his Yankees and Connie Mack's forces, handpick- ed favorites to win the 1932 flag. Chilly Weather Looms Twenty-five thousand was the promised crowd for each of the De- troit-Cleveland, St. Louis-Chicago games, with 15,000 more at Boston. Chilly weather seemed to be the surest elemental setting for each inaugural. A lively pitching duel was in pros- pect at each battle ground, topped by that between Vernon “Lefty” (Gomez, the 22-year-old Yankee. southpaw, and Big George Earnshaw of the Athletics. Connie Mack had just about the same big baseball guns—Al Simmons, Mickey Cochrane, et al—in position, while Manager Joe McCarthy had a shuffled line-up with the spectacular recruit, Frank Pietro Crosetti at third, Lyn Lary at shortstop and Sammy Byrd the apparent gardener in place of the veteran Earl Combs. Babe Ruth had his big war clubs poised and promised misery for all Pitchers, Veteran to Pitch Manager Walter Johnson planned to send another veteran right hander, Fred Marberry, against the Red Sox, who countered with Ed Durhaw. The Senators were in high spirits over their victory of Monday. The ‘Senators played errorless baseball and won an inaugural game at home for the first time in four years. Manush’s double, scoring Myer, was the finishing blow with one out in the tenth inning. A pitching duel between two rivals of high school days, Wesley Ferrell and Victor Sorrell, added punch to ithe Detroit-Cleveland inaugural. Manager Lew Fonseca of the White the previous five-year average of|Sox decided the opener was the spot about 500 children injured annually,|for the veteran “Sad Sam” Jones, as the result of playing with blast-|The Browns expected to start Walter ing caps, 10 per cent during the past year.
