REGULAR QUARTET DISPLAYING CLASS Reserve Talent Also Rated Adequate—Intraclub Games Listed. BY JOHN B. KELLER. ILOXI, Miss, March 12— This year Walter Johnson has no infield problem such as the one he had to wrestle with last year at the Tampa training camp. Then the Na- tionals’ manager was forced to take a chance with Buddy Myer at third base and try to make a second baseman of that bril- liant hot-corner performer, Ossie Bluege. Nothing like that now. Instead it looks as though the Washington club will enter the American League campaign next month with the best inner defense ssessed since the days Bucky arris and Roger Peckinpaugh were teaming around the second base, with Joe Judge and Bluege flanking them. ‘With Judge’s underpinning seemingly in great trim, Myer looking better than ever at the middle sack, Bluege back at the third cushion, with a leg appar- ently much strengthened after a surgi- cal operation last Fall, and Joe Cronin more solid and powerful than last sea- son in the short field, the Nationals on April 14 should present an infleld among the best to be found in the majors. ‘The performances of three of the four layers slated to make up the Na- &mfla' inner cordon in training sessions covers more ground around sack these days than he has in the past several seasons. Myer rapidly is set- tling into excellent second-basing form and Bluege once more is the flash around third that made him the wonder of the circuit not so long ago. Cronin, who ended a long trip from San Francisco to camp today, looks almost in the pink now and with a few days' work should be able to throw with the strength he did last year. Joe's legs already are good, for he spent much of his spare time du the off season tramping the around San Francisco Bay. If wmd#mapmwvu a ball player more power at bat, Cronin should have that added power, for dur- his jaunts over the hills he says he often felled trees for exercise. And his arms show it, too. Infield Displaying Class. Judge, Myer and Bluege with Jack Hayes. now a veteran utility infielder and Jim McLeod, rookie, alternating at shortstop, have flashed speed and cleverness all_through the inner de- fense drills. - Brilfant stops, fast and hrows, ivoting have marked the practices. combina- tion working now looks much better than did m&u‘""m being developed Perhaps the greatest improvment is in Myer's work. This young feller who was found wanting when tried at third base and was no great shucks at the middle sack, to which he was shifted, go’?l’. at second as though he had been ing there several seasons. He moves to his rflm or left freely to handle sharply hit ders, goes back with good judgment for the short outfield, rushes in wit] PO] to the a burst of speed on slow rollers and when he gets the ball whips it to base accurately and without hesitation. ‘The best feature, r.hou‘fh, of Myer's improvement is his ability to pivot well, scmething that was missing from his at second to the end of the last scason. Somewhere in the few days the National’s infield has been per- forming, Buddy discovered the knack of taking & throw and wheeling prug:rly to g!?l the ball to another ise. Bot! ayes and McLeod have been feeding him short throws and often foreing him to get the ball while in an swkward position, but invariably Buddy has recovered his balance sufficiently to get the sphere away with no undue loss of time. With Myer having the pivot down so pat, the Washington inner defense should prove apt at double-play m’:n( during the championship cam- paign. Reserve Talent Strong. Nor will the infleld reserve be much shy of the regular formation in fielding | strength. Hayes, although in the league i but a short time and used at irregular intervals, is neoglaed as one of the cleverest fielders thé game. He can fill the bill admirably at second, short or third. Then there is McLeod. Daily this rookie, up from Little Rock, has the manager and coaches marveling at his flelding ability. A fr:fl ground cov- erer, capable handler of t;u \nl‘l.

Jl:nulty looks adequate every way defensively. mlt Tqu;tlonlbu now whether Bill Bradley, the lanky first base recruit drawn from the New York lots, will stick with the club. He is a good-looking worker around the initial sack and in batting drills wallops the ball surpris- ingly well for a player of his slight build. But Bradley has had no pro- fessional experience and undoubtedly needs a deal of polish before he may be regarded as & major lnfle prospect. But the Nationals still have Harley Boss, and Boss has proved his worth. he is with chltufloo(lz:th%{le; , but subject to recall on S flu‘?‘wnm{ gives the club a fine un- to Judge. d"'A““ifl'ud'b ‘lmdenut'un the teams of two club houses used by the squads was expected to be played this afternoon. Prankie Baxter, in charge of the house used by the reserves and recruits, challenged the athletes of the house controlled by the iron hand of Mike Martin and the older crowd announced its willingness to battle. Manager Johnson believes the scrub game a good thing for the squad in training, and as the Nationals have so few engagements here he may order several intra-squad contests before the club heads for Chat- tanooga. The squad was reduced by one last night with the departure of Herbert Pyle, pitcher, drafted from the Look- outs, for Chattanooga, where he will | K, undergo dental treatment. Pyle has been suff with neuritis and the af- fection has attributed to trouble with his teeth. He will work out with the Lookouts now in training at Chat- tanooga until the Nationals transfer their training camp to the Tennessee town. 4 —_— PENSACOLA, Fls, March 12 (P).— Shields, former Yankee southpa he #Fp WITH SUNDAY MORNING EDITION ening Star.

PETERSBURG, Fla., March 12.—The warning may as well be broadcast now that the New York Yankees, after taking it strictly on the chin in 1929, are ready to step right back into the American League pen- nant fight and make the Athletics prove they belong on top. Four years ago, after the first cham- pionship machine of the Yankees ¢ up, the late Miller Huggins produced the «cogs needed for another three-year winning drive, 3 base ball wise Bob Shawkey, 's” successor at the helm, may repeat the process. At least Shawkey has a wealth of remarkable new material in hand to remedy most if not all of the weak- nesses of 1929, whether or not this is sufficient to accomplish more than an argument with Connie Mack's great outfit. Pitching remains the question mark and a big one. ‘With Babe Ruth roaring defiance from all corners of the field eager to prove he is a bargain at $80,000 and far from being through, the Yankee have his spirit as a rallying point. The youngsters as well as the veterans all gain_a big chunk of inspiration from the Babe, who is more irrepressible on the fleld than ever. Cynics doubt Ruth's underpinning and digestive organs can carry him through more than 100 games at his old pace, yet outwardly tie big, bronzed playboy of base ball looks to be in remarkably good condition. Cooke Looms as Hitter. ‘The club needed a robust, hard-hit- ting eutfielder to replace Bob Meusel and seems to have found him in Allen (Dusty) Cooke, who hit .358 for St. Paul in the American Association last vear and looks like a finished product A third baseman was required and he appears to have arrived in the person of Ben Chapman, also from St. Paul. Ben's throwing habits have been altered !in camp, but he can field as well as hit. More and better pitching has been the most important of the Spring’s re~ quirements and the club apparently has uncovered three, if not four, prospective year; Americus Polli, who won 22 and lost 9 with St. Paul last year; Vernon Gomez, southpaw, who won 18 and lost 10 with San Francisco, and Bill Henderson, . picked up as an after- thought from Jersey City. Reserve strength was needed in case anything went wrong with the seasoned keystone combination of Mark Koenig, shortstop, and Tony Lazzeri, second baseman, whose shoulder has bothered him for some time. On tap for this possible emergency are Lyn Lary and Jimmy e, the former Oakland combination, brought together again for . the first time since they were bought by the Yankees. Reese, with the benefit of additional experience, is a | fine looking second base prospect. “How I Broke Into BEGAN playing base ball while at- tending school in Havana, in Cuba, where throughout the island the kids are more interested in base ball than even the kids of the United States, and took up pitching when I be- lieved I could do it a little better than any of the other boys. 1 do not know really how it happened that I came to the United States to play ball. One day in Havana some man asked me how I'd like to pitch for the Long Branch (N. J.) team, and I s} the contract. I do not know the man was, but presumed he was a scout or some base ball man on a visit to Havana, my home town. This was in 1913. The following year I was sold to the Boston Nationals, and e a big leaguer, hardly knowing or understand- ing what it meant to go to the major league. I failed to make good with the Braves, who sent me to the Jersey City team of the International League, and the next year I again went back to the Boston club, and then played later with Toronto and Louisvilie. For two years I was with the Louis- ville American Association, and a year Iater joined the Cincinnati Reds to stay ever since. I always pitched my own way, but #s far & knowing how I hap- In response to many requests, some of the late Clare Briggs’ famous dr awings are being reproduced in the sports pages of The Evening Star. Bolstered Y ankees Are Likely To Give A’s Fight for Pennant Lou Gehrig at first and Earle Combs in center need no recommendation for their_ jobs. Behind the bat the Yankees seem bet- ter equipped than at any time sinc Wally Schang was in his prime. Bil Dickey was a great young catcher last year, and a greater one this year on the basis of his work so far. Eugene (Bub- bles) Hargrave, persuaded to accompany Polli, Chapman and Cooke in the gen- eral movement from St. Paul to New York, has the experience needed to work with the young pitchers, as well as a potent bat. Have Same Old Wallop. ‘There is no question whatever th: the Yankees will have as big, if not bigger, wallop than ever, and no one has yet referred to them as the “hitless wonders.” With either Dickey or Har- grave wearing the mask there is a po- tential .300 hitter in every position and a .350 punch in three or four positions. bs, ri, Ruth and Gehrig all have hit over .350 in the American League, Cooke did it in the American Association and Hargrave has exceeded this mark in both the National League and American Association. Shawkey, wise in pitching ways, seems an ideal man to tackle the main prob- lem, that of rebullding the hurling staff. To start with he has Waite Hoyt, George Pipgras and old Tom Zachary well seasoned nucleus, another capable port- side veteran in Ed Wells and the youth- ful Roy Sherid, a big right-hander who }fl[urel to be a regular and a star this year. | © Herb Pennock will be a gift from the gods if he stages a comeback, for there is not much prospect of his arm re- covering its old usefulness. Henry Johnson may not recover his 1928 form wl{l-m a regular post, so that Shawkey is building most of his hopes on the newcomers. Henderson, despite an unimpressive record in the Interna- tional League, has shown a world of training camp stuff. So have Polli and Andrews. Gomez has been ill and un- der weight, but he looks the part of a capable southpaw. Two of the college prospects, Fred Asbeck from Michigan and Bob Walsh from Notre Dame, a son of the famous Ed Walsh, need more sea- soning before they crash the big league gates. . .

'HEN a club that has a team batting average 20 or more points below the clubs that finished one, two, three in the American League and-yet manages to land in fourth place, losing third in the final series of the season with the Cleveland Indians, it is very logi- cal to place any failure of the club to the lack of power at the bat. That is the status of the St. Louis Browns. St. Louls had a team batting average of .275 last year. Four other teams had marks of .204 or better. One of these Detroit, finished below the Browns in the per- centage table. Yet, despite this lack of punch at the bat, the Browns stuck in the first divis- ion from the start race for practically five months of the land in the last series of year. One need only e e lual g aver- Bll Killeter. ages of the Amer- ican League to realize the weakness of our club at the bat. Of the first 38 hitters, the Browns had only one, Heinie Manush, with a mark of .355. Of the 50 American League batters who hit .300 or better last season, only three were Brownies. Aside from Manush, Kress batted .305 and Schulte .304. Fine Fighting Spirit. PFrom these facts the natural deduc- That is very true, but to these two very necessary assets one must add a fighting spirit. The Browns gave Howley the best they had every min- ute. It was a team that didn’t know when it was whipped and I am sure it will give me the same earnest effort. In team fielding the Browns ranked second, only a point behind the world champions of Philadelphia. Incident- ally, there could be no complaint as to the pitching. While Gray and Crowder Features and Classified A’s Already Challenged By Cubs for Big Series BY JOHN B. FOSTER. LOS ANGELES, Calif, March 12 (C.P.A)—The Athletics are chal- lenged for 1930, if one wishes to put it that way. “My players hope to win the pen- nant of the National League,” said Joe McCarthy of the Cubs. “They hope that the Athletics win the pen- nant of the American League. They want to play them again. I haven't got a man on the team who isn't eager to get back at the Athletics. “None of my players says we were not fairly licked. They took what they got with a grin, but it wasn't a grin of pleasure and they are still grinning, but it is the kind of a grin that a bear wears when he sees another bear that has stolen his big comb of honey.” still Gray turned in 18 victories and Crowder one less. Collins won 11 while | losing 6, and Stewart had 9 wins against 6 defeats. Each of these pitchers lost three or four games by the margin of a run or two, that would have been victories had the timely hit been forth- coming in the crisis. As the successor of Dan Howley as| manager of the Browns I have no fears as to the club®s defense or its pitching. Both I am sure will be up to standard. If we can get just a little more hitting, I can see no reason why we shouldn't be in the first division all the time, which, of course, means that your club is always in the running and has a chance. Club to Be Little Changed. On the whole, the club will be much the same as last season. The addition of Sammy Hale, secured in exchange for Wally Schang, gives us a certain amount of reserve strength in the in- fleld that was lacking last season. True, Hale batted only .275 for Philadelphia last year, yet I am willing to on record that he will bat 25 points better for the Browns. Incidentally Lu Blue should have a much better year at the bat. Blue hit in mighty hard luck last season, plenty of his drives, hard hit balls, went directly into the hands of some waiting flelder. ‘What our new material has in store for us will be more or less a matter of uncertainty until after the training season. Our scouts report some mighty likely flmpecu in the newcomers and there & chance we may get some immediate help from the recruits, I hope so. However, on the whole, the club will start with pretty much the same line- up as last year. Its pitching and de- fense makes it a hard club to beat. If we are able to give our pitchers the working ma: of & few extra runs, we will be all the tougher.
