Sports Writer) PHOENIX, Ariz, April 8-—Idle hopes have no place in Harry Heil- | mann's baseball plans—the big De- troit Tiger slugger feels he is bound to take first place honors in thei American league batting race again. | The 190-pound fence buster now | in spring training here will not be | at his usual outfield post this sea-| son, having been delegated to the| busier first base berth, but that| should not keep him from continu-| ing the unusual batting record be- | gun several years back. | The unusualness of Heilmann's record lies in the fact that only every other year has he been able to attain the batting pinnacle. Last season was one of his off years, and his average, .328, while ranking high, was exceeded by several. Heilmann likes playing in the in- field and says the change will bene- fit the club. ‘The big stock man from Detr is full of optimism as to the club’s chances in the coming campaiga. “We have an excellent chance,” he says. “A great aggregation, a great manager in ‘Bucky’ Harris, immeasurable spirit; in fact, every- thing to make the season a success.

I look for the closest race the American league ever has had. “Every club is in good financial ondition and is owned by spor men more interested in producing g money. “Baseball is just emerging from ten ye of hard times. First the var came along and diverted every. minds, young men stopped playing baseball professionally.

Seattle used 19 players to try and win. Buzz Arlett hit one home run for the Oaks. more new players this season than ever before. When I say new I do not mean green. They are all sea- soned pla; They have had several yea on AA teams and other good minor teams and they can play ball. “But you can't tell much about them yet. It remains to be seen how they fit in. Take the Indians here. They will start with almost a new roster. The Indians may be the dark horse team of the league and start right off with a winning streak. Again it may take them 1alf the season to get going to- gether. I also look for Detroit to GAMES SATURDAY Seattle 6; Oakland 7. Los Angeles 10; Hollywood 5. Portland 1, 11; Sacramento 4, 7.
