P, Al Righia Revorved Who's in the majors? Ask that one, it seems, and an the greatest short-stop cld-fashioned argument is under way along any part of the spring training trail, whether it happens to be in-Texas, California or Flor- ida. THE HIGH SCORING HE AGAIN WonN FOR SWMMING IN THE INTERCOLLEGIATE ASSQOCIATION MEETS. ~A BIG FisH IN ANY SIZE Ponp | /1 ; | | | HONORs| BUT JOE HIT .346 So far as the American league is concerned, the boys can argue all evening about the respective merits of English and Gelbert, the look over the ace of the short stoppers, Joseph Cronin, who bat- ted .346 and had as much to do |as any indlvidual with the sensa- tional rise of the Washington senators last season. Cronin, also 24, is rangier, heav- ier and more of a slugger than either English or Gelbert. He played spectacularly afield and was voted the American League’s | most valuable player in 1930. All three of the youngsters, in la year, have leaped away up to- (ward the front and become stars [in a position that seemed to he {shy of its old class. All three wi! |be very much in the limelight this year. f So far as the Florida camps are| concerned, no more brilliant work- | man has been on view at short|e J than Charles Gelbert, the 25-year) ! R L R AL SR SPORT BRIEFS \' ! MM DA A e old star of the St. Louis Cardinals. Gelbert has improved at a tre-i mendous clip. He batted over .300 last year for the first ti in his short big league career. He was a sensation in the world’s se- ries, hitting for .353 and he looksi better than ever in the Cardinal; camp at Bradenton this spring. ® Gelbert covers acres of ground| on either side and has a rifle shot arm, powerful as accurate. He not only has satisfied his manager, Gabby Street, that he the best shortstop in baseball now but Gabby believes the youngster will soon rank with the best any department of play. HOW ABOUT ENGLISH? After sizing up Gelbert, however, we can hear the echoes from Cata- lina Island: What about Elwood English of the Cubs? For the time being they can't be compared on the spot by this observer, but the records and the testimeny are strong enough to enable English to dispute Gelbert's claim to top nk, confining the debate for the moment to the National league. English outhit Gelbert by a sub- stantial margin last year, posting an average of .335, the best of his career. The Cub star is 24, but this; is- his fifth year in the majors, whereas Gelbert is just starting Lis third. English also came along like o house afire last year and no less an authority and neutral observ- er than Col. Dan Howley of the Reds thinks that Elwood’s batting gives him the edge over Gelbert, up-to the present, o well as; | The freshman basketball team lof Baylor umiversity, scored 896 |points last season, averaging al- most 60 to the game. E. Paul Young, New York golfer, made the “hole-in-one club” for a |second time while playing on a { Ft. Worth, Texas, course. All nine men on this year's champion Texas Christian univer- sity basketball squad, were award- ed a varsity letter. i Invitation for Bids United States Lepaitment of Ag- riculture, Bureau of Fublic Roads, | Juneau, Alaska, April 1, 1931, Seal- {ed Bids, subject to the conditions contained herein, will be received until 9 c'clock AM.
