Don't get the ide they are surfeited with triumphs McCarthy say8; L lias no prob- lem at second base, where Tony Lazzeri presided for so long: “Don’t worry about Joe Gordon—he's going to be all right.” Gordon, the rookie from Newark, ficlds gracefully and covers more ground than old “Poosh-em up’ did, but his stickwork isn't up to Yankee standards. He hit .280 last season, But McCarthy isn't fretting: “He takes a nice cut at the ball and, you never can tell, he may hit even bet- ter in our league.” Except for the pitchers, there are no other rookies around. There’s a three-cornered scrap for left field between Jake Powell, Myril Hoag and Tommy Henrich, and Billy Knickerbeeker, the happiest man in camy since his escape from the St Louis Browns, says he fe€ls so great he'll give.Gordon and Frankie Cro- setti a battle for either second or short. McCarthy figures a couple of 6-foot twirlers from Newark, Right- handers Joe Beggs and Atley Don- ald, will more than take up the slack in the Yankee pitching. Beggs won 21 and lost 4 and Donald copped 19 and dropped two. “That’s pitch- ing in any league, and don’t forget they play pretty fast ball in the International. Beggs and Donald look good to me.” D LEFTY GROVE TELLS IT ALL VERY CURTLY Answers “Yep” to Most Questions Putto Him by Interviewer as tional miles By DILLON GRAHAM AP Feature Service Writer SARASOTA, Fla., March 29.—Ro- bert Moses Grove, the loquacious conversationalist of Lonaconing, Md., was cornered for a balls-and- strikes interview while standing knee deep in a country creek near arasota. The Boston southpaw hurler had snuck away from an afternoon drill of the Red Sox and was casting his reel in search of bass in a pretty little fishing hole away out in the backwoods. “Lefty, if memory doesn't betray me, you're about the oldest pitcher in the American league, you and Earl Whitehill and Ted Lyons?” “Yep, that’s right.” “It’s 38, isn't it?’ “yep.' “As T recall it you topped both of those other old men. How many games did you win?” “Seventeen.” “Well, you're getting ready to start your 19th season in baseball. How does the old flipper feel?” “Great.” “The boys tell me you've got more pep and ginger than you've shown in years.” “Yep.” “How many games do you figure' youwll win this year?” Rookies Galore, but Mana S e Rookie rush is on in southern training camps. one and all major league managers, sifting through a big crop numbering more than 150 in all camps involved, look for another Joe Di Maggio, a Bob Feller or a Lou Fette, rookie stars YoU FOR PUTTING MY FRIEND/HAROLD, THE HYPNOTIST, \_OUT ! —~—4 YUH DON'T !

T know I could do a good job.” Asked if he could use Johnny with the Boston Red Sox, Manager | Eddie Collins said: “Before anybody could consider him, Johnny would have to be re- instated. Furthermore, he is the property of the Yankees. They can do what they wish. I'm not inter- ested.” To stage a comeback, Johnny must first make peace with the Yankees. To date it would appecar that the Yankees have not forgiven Jehnny for being A. W. O. L. dur- ing the world series last fall when they needed pitchers. Will the “walkout” bar Broaca from baseball forever? Will he continue to be the “forgotten man” of baseball? The answers to these questions appear to be in the camp of the Yanks. CHANCE THAT WAS TOSSED AWAY EASILY PITTSBURGH, Pa., March 20.— Russ Bauers, who is said to be a coming pitching star of the National league, came to the Pirates as a free agent. The Phillies once owned | him but Judge Landis declared him frec because the Phils had signed him as a sandlotter. Jimmy Wilson recommended him to Pie Traynor. who signed Bauers for the Pirates. Later, to his disappointment, Wil- son discovered the Phils could have bid for Bauers’ services themselves. | | at the Brunswick Alley 1S ---TWEET, TWEET--- 'S A BIG BRAVE DICKY BIRD ! gers Wanta Di Maggio BROACA SEEKS Few Perfuct Pin Scores Recorded CHICAGO, March 29.—The dif- ficulty of rolling a perfect 300 score in American Bowling Congress championships play is illustrated by the fact that only four men have accomplished the feat, knocking down the ten pins twelve times in succession with sixteen - pound spheres over a thirty-seven year period.

FUR CATCH OFF, MININE IS 600D, SAYSTRAVELER J. ] Meherin R;!urns After Long Airways Trip Through Alaska After a flying trip through the ory, J. J. Meherin, Hiils' Bros. representative in Alaska, returned to his Juneau headquarters on the Alaska yesterday With Earle Clifford, Zellerbach Paper Company salesman in Alaska Mr. Meherin left Juneau February 21 for the westward. In Anchorage the travelers chartered a Pacific Al- aska Airways plane with Murray Stewart, pilot, and in 22 days co ered all of the towns along the Kus- kokwim and Yukon rivers and in the Nome district. When they re- turned to Fairbanks they had flown over 4,000 miles. The fur catch, from Whitehorse to Point Barrow was about 65 per- cent less than a year ago, and busi- ness in the fur districts was off as a consequence, according to Mr. Meherin. Now fur traders are figur- ing that the muskrat and beaver catch will offset the poor season on cther furs. Conditions in the mining sections throughout the Interior show great- er improvement than at any time in the history of the country, said Mr. Meherin, who has been cover- ing Alaska as a wholesale broker for over twenty years. Especially there is much action in mining around Flat, Ophir and in the Nome district. : “Every place we were, Delegate Dimond's name was favorably men- tioned,” Mr. Meherin said. “In my opinion it will not even be neces- sary for him to campaign, as his election is absolutely assured. Every- where in Alaska people appreciate the fine work he has done and they are certainly not considering any change.” i M. Cilifford remained in Anchor- ege and will go through Bristol Bay, and to Kodiak and Seldovia before reiurning to Junean in about two weeks. Mr. Meherin will remain in Ju- reail a week before leaving for Ketchikan and the south end of the division e MRS. RHODE ON YUKON Mis. Clarence Rhode, wife of A'- aska Game Warden Clarence Rhodé now stationed at Cordova, and their son Jackie, are on the Yukon bound for Cordova where the Rhodes’ will make their new home. Mrs. Rhode and son have been in the States during the winter. She was accom- panied by F. 8. Rhode, brother of Mr. Rhode, who is going to a posi- tion at the Kennecott mine. e 420's Hawaiian Holiday, Saturday Night. adv.
