Inasmuch as the New York Giants couldn't win in the National League efter having held a 7': game lead on Labor Day last season, I cannot fig- | ure how they expect to top a younger and improved band of St. Louis Car- dinals this trip. Therefore, the combatants in the 1935 world series should be the Yanks: and Cards, although, baseball being what it is, I won't jump off the i est viaduct if either outfit st toe.

The remainder of the club was hidden behind the great shadow of the Great Man, and a new spirit was born with his departure. Joe Mc-/ Carthy has a firm grip on his ath- letes for the first time.

If the Yanks and Cards lead the respective parades, Dizzy Dean won't find the star of the New York staff sidestepping him in the world series, as Schoolboy Rowe did last autumn Gomez, whose earned run average of 2.33 last term was the lowest in the American League since Bob Grove's 2.05 in 1931, would choose the elder Dean with the greatest of pleasure. No Replacements for Detroit Detroit is hanking on an effective fchoolboy Rowe from the outset this spring, and hopes thet either Clyde Hatter, from Louisville, or Joe Sulli- ‘van, from Hollywood, will develop into a starting left-hander. Every Detroit infielder batted in 100 or more runs. Detroit is a re- markably fast club, too, but two com- plete seasons without a single injury or protracted slump really is too much good fortune for even stich an upright citizen and good fellow as Cochrane to expect. The ‘Tigers’ success depends entirely too much on the ability of several key men to stick in there. There were no flaws in the Car- dinals of 1934, yet Terry Moore, from Columbus, threatens to take Ernie Orsatti’s position in center field.

There are too many ifs connected with the Boston Red Sox—the right side of the infield, Grove, etc. Philadelphia is the dark horse, with the height of their rise depend- jing on how well Jimmy Foxx handles a young set of pitchers, the batting, lof Hooks at first base and the throw- ing of Dib Williams at second. Good catching might make Wash- ington a contender, but where is Bucky Harris going to find it? In the National, the Chicago Cubs will stir up plenty of trouble as long as Freddie Lindstrom, the cleanup hitter, is happy at third base. Pittburgh's problem is where the headaches thump the hardest—pitch- ing and catching. Harry Lavagetto, the second baseman, is an All-Amer- ica out. Brooklyn has Mungo, Lopez, Frey, and another two or three and Casey Stengel—enough to keep Bill Terry convinced that the Dodgers are still in the league. Philadelphia is too well fixed in pitching and catching to be an oasis where the leaders can rest and doctor up their wounds.

Wienbergen of the Dickin- |son State Teachers college. Captain Maurice Ross of Lambert, Mont., who throws the javelin, puts the shot and runs the hurdles, is the key man of the Savage track team. Ted Krause, the only other letter- man, is suffering injuries and may not entc. competition. He is a 440 and 88C-yard man. Several former Dickinson high school track stars offer some hope for Wienbergen. Charles Pagenkopf, who broke the Slope invitational record here last year in the 440 by doing it in 54.1, is being rélied upon in the 220 and 440/ jevents, Baggenstoss, outstanding basketball and grid man, will com: | pete in the 100 yard dash, the 220 and the broad jump events. Sam Robinson, Negro distance runner. is another yearling hailing from last year's Midget team, who looks good this year. John Randall of Mandan also is showing well in the distance \runs. Other distance candidates are |Bobby Partridge of Mandan and Dan jLeroy of Washburn, both of whom! jare without previous experience.

As the annual women’s indoor championships opened at the Lake Shore Athletic club long course pool pool Wednesday night, 17-year-old Katy Rawls, the “Miami Minnow” streaked away with two champion- ships—enough for any headline writer — but interspersing her great per- formances came Medica and Kiefer to shatter world records in the 300 yard free style and 400 meter back stroke. They simply stole the show and the applause of the crowd. “I don't know why the men swim in our meets.” said Charlotte Epstein. ‘coach of the New York 8wi Association. After four attempts, Medica finally cracked the world’s mark in the 300 yard free style Wednesday night, swimming the distance in 3:044 as compared with the former record time of 3:06.8 established by James Gil- hula of the Detroit Athletic club. Kiefer swam the 400 meters in 5:17.8, clipping 12.6 seconds off the world mark set by M. Kiyokawa of Japan. Bowbells Cage Team Prospects Are Good rete Bowbells, N.
