Iyer to Start at Second for Griffs : Close Races Due in Both Major Leagues West lll, Harry Rice Will Play Center—Nationals Beat Rochester. BY JOHN B. KELLER. the Nationals take the fleld tomorrow against the world champion Ath- letics before as many grp—e yed fans as the stands in rifith Stadium will hold they will do so with Buddy Myer at sec- ond base and Harry Rice in center fleld, according to hints made by Manager Walter Johnson. The pilot has intimated he will em- ploy this palr instead of Jack Hayes, ‘Who has been performing at the middle station, and Sammy West, regular mid- field patrolman, in the opening contest of the season here. That Harry Rice instead of West probably will be used in center is not surprising, for the regular worker not only has a sore throwing arm, but also is suffering with a mild aitack of in- fluenza. While West quite likely will be on his feet tomorrow and in uniform he probably would feel the effects of his ill- Dess too much to be of any great help to his club. ‘The switch from Hayes to Myer, how- ever, is something of a surprise. In the ~ exhibition games Hayes fieldcd smarily - and batted at a fast gaii. In fact, the Bama boy hit at such a rate it was re- garded as settled that he would get the | call over Myer for the middle station 3ob But in sending Myer instead of yes to second base yesterday when the Nationals faced the Rochester In- ternationals in the last of the Spring exhibition series Manager Johnson in- dicated he would have Buddy in the line-up on opening day. 'O doubt Johnson's choice of Myer | for second base would be influenced by Buddy’s superiority at bat. Al- though Hayes hit well in the exhibitions, performances do not werrant rating the ba‘ter Myer unquestionably is.

Hayes drove across just 20 runs and scored 25 times. In picking play-r for the second-base job with Nationals that attack record of Myer’s can't be overlooked. bad that West had to suffer fll- ness right on the verge of the cam- paign.

HICAGO, April 13.—Having watched their National League cousins reap gate receipt harvests for four straight years while they eagerly snatched world series glory, American League clubs set out on their 1931 base ball wars tomor- row with renewed but rather doubtful hopes of a tighter pen- nant race. Most of the experts, accustomed to seeing the league stage a somewhat top- heavy pennant race for the past few years, predict just another romp for Connie Mack and his Philadelphia Ath- letics, with ;only a little interesting crowding by Washington, New York and perhaps Cleveland. The club own- ers, @owever, join with their managers in predicting the closest race in years from start to finish, and in first as well as second division, A careful sifting of claims and hopes just before the big get-away indicates that the key to the situation is held by the Athletics, who have been running away with the flag for two straight years. Connle Mack, perhaps with a feeling of remorse, has failed to strengthen his championship front for the 1931 campaign, except for a few reserves, While the rest of the clubs have strengthened their forces in vary- ing degrees. Macks Big “It.” The big “if” of the race centers around the Athletic pitching stafl. If “Lefty” Grove and big George Earn- shaw are as good as they were last. year the A’s probably will repeat, no matter what the reserves accomplish, If either of Mack’s two pitching aces experience a poor season, and no re- serve pitcher comes through in big style, the whole race may be turned upside down. ‘Walberg and Mahaffey, two pitchers who helped Grove and Earnshaw last season, haven't looked so well this Spring, _although Hank McDonald, husky ' 20-year-old pitcher purchased from nd’ of the Pacific Coast | League, has caused many a smile to ripple across Connie's face. If Mc- Donald comes through and Grove and Earnshaw are in form, the A's, wif their terrific batting punch, probably will repeat easily. Walter Johnson and his Washington | Senators and the New York Yankees, piloted by the same Joe MeGQarthy who lifted the Cubs out of base ng\sm ness in the National League, are the two clubs which are expected to end the domination of the A%e if7 an team does it Of the two, Lo look the strongest because of excellent pitching, a tight infield and the spi champion- ship teams, The Yankees, still pos- sessing a great punch at the wgme aré contenders although their pitching is o{ 4 suspicious quality.

EW YORK, April 13—An- N other close race in the Na- tional League with at least . four or five clubs in the running—that is the dope the day before the 1931 season opens. Optimism is the rule in the elder major league and few clubs are willing to admit they won’'t be close to the top in September. The St. Louls Cardinals are generally favored to repeat their triumph, but only after the hardest kind of struggle from the Chicago Cubs, Brooklyn Robins, New York Giants and Pitts- burgh Pirates. The consensus of ex- perts has picked the five leaders to finish in that order, with Boston, Phila- delphia and Cincinnati bringing up in the rear, ‘While all the clubs have added new playing talent in preparation for an- other tight race, the Cardinals, for the most part, are standing pat on their 1930 line-up.
