Mickey Cochrane's “battering ben- gals” dominated the circuit from the midway mark of the 1934 race and ‘won going away. Untamed by their world series beating, the Tigers have the stuff to repeat. They are the only club in the league now present- tng a solid, grade “AAA” front in the three payoff departments—pitching, power and defense. Cochrane's crew was phenomenally fortunate in escaping injuries to any regulars in their leap from fifth place to the top within one year There are far bigger “ifs” con- nected with the chances of all the other contenders. Walter Johnson's Cleveland Indians shaped up as the strongest challenger until Billy Knickerbocker, star shortstop and key man of a youthful infield, was floored by old iran appendix. Cleveland and the New York Yan-; kees, both substantially rebuilt within the past year or two, are the coming clubs, regardiess of where they fin- ish this year. The Yankees have more speed than power now but. their pitching staff, with the veteran Pat Malone just added to it, will keep the club in the race. George Selkirk will not make New York's fans forget Babe Ruth in right field. So many uncertain factors involve the chances of the Boston Red Sox, the Philadelphia Athletics and the Washington Senators, that tt is pos- sible only to guess what. these three “dark horses” will do when the boys begin playing for keeps. All should figure in the scramble for first divi- sion berths. Despite Rogers Hornsby's able and aggressive leadership, the St. Louis! Browns haven't the stuff to go any- where. The Chicago White Sox, equally handicapped and obliged to depend on some ancient pitching arms, can't expect even an Al Sim- mons to propel them upward this year. Elgin High Cage Five Sets Enviable Record (Special to the Tribune) Elgin, N. D., March 28.—Bringing their string of conseuctive conference victories to 24, Elgin's high school; basketball team won its second South Slope conference championship this year. Tn addition to the twelve conference games, the Elgin quint won two tilts from New England. one from Glen ‘Ullin, one from Lemmon, 8. D., los-| ing only to Mandan on the regular Playing schedule.

Meeting Reeder in the regional playoff, the local five ‘was turned back in a close, hard- Sought encounter.

Down here they say that it was only a question of time until Roy Hughes replaced Knick at shortstop, anyway. They take into considera- tion that Knickerbocker is one of the great stars of baseball, too. Knickerbocker! Why, they go all the way back to Cottontop Turner and Ray Chapman in describing Hughes. And to Turner and Napo- leon Lajoie, Chapman and Bill Wambsganss in painting a pretty picture of Hughes and Bozy Berger, Cleveland's new second base com- bination. “I knew something would happen to poor Knickerbocker,” says Buzs Wetzel, head of the Indians’ subsi- diary in Zanesville, O., who discover- ed Hughes. “The young man was just meant to play short for Cleve- land.” Hughes is a fighter, and has the habit of making sparkling plays in tight spots. Out of the amateur ranks just two years, the 22-year-old Cincinnati Irishman is an_ excellent base runner. Billy Evans, general manager of the club, says he’s the st in this respect on the team, and his backers down here are saying that Knickerbocker, at his best, can’t field with Hughes.

His only fielding fault is in con- nection with slow rollers hit straight at him. This he attributes to taking his eye off the ball in taking a peek at the runner. This is not a serious ‘fault, although such a remarkable shortstop as Joe Cronin was unable to correct it until the last couple of years, In regard to his reported weakness against curve ball pitchers, he says: “It's just one of those reputations @ young player gets, and has to knock out of the opposition’s head. “Curve ball pitchers don’t bother me any more than fast ball pitchers, or pitchers of any other type, as a matter of fact. “In a recent exhibition game with ‘Washington, Jack Russell struck me out with @ curve, and then I came right back with successive singles on identical pitches. “There are worse second basemen and hitters in the American League than Bozy Berger, and there isn’t the slightest doubt in my mind about standing up.” It appears the kid has the requir- ed cockiness to stick around.
