He is 24-year-old Johnny McCar- thy, obtained from the New York: Yankees' Newark farm as a re- placement for Manager Bill Terry at first base. Only light clubbing stands between McCarthy and ma- jor league success, for he's said to be pretty fancy afield—and im- | proving against southpaw flinging. Johnny bats and flings from the port side. McCarthy is rated as a better all- arounder than First-sacker Leslie Powers whom the Giants bought from Baltimore, along with South- paw pitcher CIliff Melton, reported improved since tried by the New York Yankees in 1935. Besides McCarthy and the Balti- more pair, the International “gifts” to: the National league stack up like this: Braves took Pitcher Bill Harris, Outfielder Frank McGowan and First-baseman Elburt ‘Fletcher from champion Buffalo . . . Return trips to the big-time for all three . . . . Harris pitched a pair of no-hitters —aone by day. and one at night., McGowan- was one-of -the * smhdmm outfielders and hitters of the league. Cincinnati got Shortstop Robert Miller and Pitcher Jake Mooty from Toronto and Outfielders John Rothrock and Phil Weintraub from Rochester. . . . Weintraub, who first based for Rochester, was the de- mon “Sunday hitter” of the IL. Dickshot From Buffalo Phils took"left-hander Bob Burke from Albany . .. Return trip for him but first N.L. experience. Pirates recalled Outfielder Dick- shot from Buffalo after he en- Jjoyed a great season. Cardinals got hold of Southpaw Bobp Weiland, Right-hander Ray Harrell, Infielders Jim Brown and Al Cuccinello from Rochester . . . Harrell, last two months of 1936 season, was ‘just about the best pitcher in the circuit, in players’ opinion. . . . It's Weiland’s first trip to National . . . Cuccinello doubtful about sticking . . . Brown has a chance. To the American League: Red Sox had Babe Dahlgren at Syracuse and recalled him, then sold him to the Yankees . . . He led the league in triples and played |- well . . . From Rochester Boston got Colonel (Buster) Mills, who led International in batting in| time. Carl Fischer, up with Cleveland, was a flop in the American Asso- ciation and then set the Interna- tional on fire at Buffalo . . . With- | out his left-handing Buffalo prob- ably wouldn’t have got into the little world series. . . He dominated the playoffs. Athletics Draw One The Yanks took from Newark Spurgeon Chandler, right-hander, who had & good year; Frank Ma- kosky, a good finishing pitcher; Kemp Wicker, left-hander, whose 11-9 record woult have been bet- ter if the Bears hadn’t worn light- hitting clothes just about every time he pitched; Bill Baker, catcher, who isn't likely to stick, and Ernie Koy, big outfielder who may come through . . . Yanks also have Vito Tamulis back . . . He pitched well after getting rid of pleurisy . . . And Steve Sundra, who was better at night than day. The Athletes drafted lnflelder Chalmer Cissell from Baltimore. Browns grabbed old Sheriff Fred Blake as a free agent and recalled Catcher Tommy Heath from To- ronto , . ., The youngster did all the backstopping for the Leafs when they went from seventh place up to the first division. ‘Washington took two pitchers from Albany—Ray Phebus and Harry Kelly . . . Phebus won 13, lost 12 for a club that didn’t play .400-ball, « - . Kelly, a reformed outfielder, has a high hard one and is about as wild as they make 'em . . Phe- bus should stick, Kelly may. ——o——— Try Tue Empire classifieds f He may stick up there this o/ Steve MESNER ROCKIE G 7 M!CZO BASEMAN | oF the WHITE SOX.

Tilden declared he could not fi- gure out why Perry wins. Perry praised Tilden's play. e Sport @iants By PAP' A ball player's legs go faster at third hase than at any other posi- tion, says Ossie Bluege, veteran ‘Washington infielder. "“The shortstop and second-bases 'man and the outfielders may cover more ground but the thitd-baseman must start quicker. It's that spring, or quick break, toward the baljs that wears out your legs and an- kles.” Bluege ought to know. He's been playing the infield for 16 years.— ionger than any American Leaguer except Jimmy's Jimmy Dikes. He's playéd every position, too. Pushing 40 now, Bluege s used chiefly as a utility man but last year he played 90 games and dem- onstrated his fielding genius by leading third-basemen and short- stops in fielding percentage and taking runnner-up honors among second basemen. Old-timers say the league has never had a classier fielder than Bluege. Bluege’s suggestion to young in- tielders is to learn to break quick- ly. He knows of no better way than to field bunts by the hour. “Handling hard hit and softly- struck bunts, several feet to the right and left of the player, devel- ops a springy start, agility and confidence. It strengthens the wrist for flipping the ball in a peg and teaches a man to throw accurately when off balance or in awkward po- a man on second, is one of Cle hardest plays for a third-baseman \lO handle. It's seldom used now- adnys. although the Senators work- ed it last year at his suggestion. ‘ The batter chokes his stick as though to bunt. The third-base- man comes charging in to handle the expected bunt. This leaves' third base unprotected and the runer on second tears out. The batter strikes at the ball, purposely missing it, but leaves him- self in such a stance that tig catch- er has to throw over him to third base. The infielder has to scamper back to third and take his chanhces of getting there in time to grab the throw from the plate, “In the gld days when there were g00d fielding pitchers and & run- ner on second, the third-baseman stayed on the bag, but now they Jjust give the runner third base and are content to throw tha bunter out at first. ém good flelding pitehers we'd cut off that tunner lt third,” Bluegue ca\chulel OXFORD TURNS ON CAMBRIDGE, B9TH REGATTA Oxford Eight Claims Vic- tory 0ve'rh ivals After 13 S,lu:fl Losses LONDON, March 38.Aftes thir- teen consecutive defeats, Oxford CLIPPER AT | PAGO PAG[]i PAGO PAOO American Samao, March 25.—(via Pan-American Ra- dio) —~The American Clipper, pion- eering a commercial airline from California to New Zealand, landed here yesterday afternoon at 5:30 His Whole Team Left UNIVERSITY, Ala, March 25— ‘Hnrold Drew, track coach at the University of Alabama, is one coach who has really been hit by the graduation of his men.
