Now The National League Since miracles rarely happen, I can’t vision the Boston Bees gerting the pitching they oblained last year. They couldn’t punch, cven in ihe Three-I league. Just to be different, here’s a good word for the not-so-daffy Dodgers. They're better than last year, but— Rookie Pete Coscarart at second base can’t hit. The pitching doesn’t sparkle. The outfield is questionable and the Brooklyns need another catcher. T find it hard to dislike the Cubs. but they have too many master minds—Grimm, Hartnett and Lazzeri. They're too brittle.

This international 12-liter classic will be run at Detroit over Labor Day next September. The Gold Cup, with entries from four nations last year, became .a real test for world supremacy in the 12-liter class. Not only did some stirring competition davelop but the race produced new speed records for every competitive dis- tance in the Gold and President’s Cup event Reports from Europe claim that both the French and Italians whil make another bid for the Gold Cup on the Detroit River this year and Canada is almost certain to be rep- resented. A still further increase in speed is anticipated which will add to the international importance of the race. Last year a new lap rec- ord of 71.446 miles an hour was es~ tablished, a new heat mark of 68.645 m. p. h. was turned in, and Notre Dame, Herb Mendelson's winning boat, averaged 6347 miles an hour for the total distance of ninety miles. Despite the presence of numers< ous 12.liter craft in Europe no single event for the class on the continent compares in impeortance {0 the American Gold Cup and the European boats never have turned up the speed in competition that they were forced to make on the Detroit River course last fall. England is reviving the Duke of York Trophy race this year and the Spreckles Trophy for outboards will be continued in France as the out- standing international events abroad likely to attract American entries.
