NEW SLUGGERS 0 REIGN THS YEAR Last Season's Lesders Have Slumped Badly This Mogth New York, May 16 UM—Batting kings are mot crowned in May, but it this month's performances are any criterion, the major leagues will have a brace of mew rulers in the domain of(the royal and ancient wallop. The kings of 1928, Goose Goslin and Rogers Hornsby, dashed forth with lowered lances in April, appar- ently ready to ride rough shod through all oppesition, but both have slumped badly in the last few weeks. The great Rajah, in fact, has Yad trouble keeping around .300 the last few days, slipping well back in the pounding parade, but it's too early to count him out altogether. The Goose promises to be working as effectively as ever, in time, to de- ty all rivals. Meanwhile new faces take prom- inence in the slugging procession as the names of Cobb, Speaker and Col- lins, among others of the old guard, no longer appear. Gehringer “and Alezander of Detroit, Averill of Cleveland, Lindstrom and Ott of the Giants, S8immons and Foxx of the , Athletics and the celebrated Waners of Pittsburgh all are helping supply the new punch. Just now brother Lloyd is outdistancing brother Paul Waner, but the latter may bhe ex- pected to his real stride at any time and join the pace setters. By precedent this should be Har- ry Heilmann's year. He has won the batting crown of the American league in the odd yeasrs since 1921, tut handsome Harry has atarted slowly. He has a flock of clouting teammates to beat this year before looking elsewhere for batting laurels. Baseball packs some of the queer- est turns of any sport. And this sapring is furnishing a flock of good examples. Rarney Friberg, considered #hust” as an inflelder, turned pitcher [ this spring, but when Tommy Theve- now was hurt, he jumped in at shortstop for the Phillies and has played sensationally. Lu among the “five leading bats- men” of the Xational league fis ¥rank Frisch, blasting away while the man for whom he was traded efter the 1926 season, Hornsby, is way down the list; also Andy High, starring at third for the Cardinals after being cast off by the Robins and Braves; not to overlook Rabbit Maranville, playing brilliantly for the Braves again after being a vital cog in the 1914 champions. George Uhle changed his Cleve- fand uniform for Detroit livery and promptly wins six in a row. Bam Gray and Alvin Crowder, the Brown pitching aces, were discarded by eastern clubs. Cuyler, Hornsby, Stephenson and Wilson, the big four of the Chicago Cub attack, all were traded or released by other big league clubs, Stanford will be the favored team fn the intercollegiate track and field championships at Philadelphia, May 81 and June 1, but the east counts on getting the lion's share of in- dividual honors by way of easinz the pain of far western conquest, which fact has developed into a habit. Jimmy Daley of Holy Cross or Karl Wildermuth of Georgetown may cut into the sprint honors now that Charley Borah of Southern California is on the casualty list. Borah, in fact, is slated only to rua the 220. Phil Edwards, New York university’s dusky flier, will try for double honors in the 440 and 880 yard runs. Jimmy Reid of Har- vard, in the mile, and Montgomery of Penn in the two mile run, are potential champions. Reid won the two mile crown last spring and may forsake this for the mile, unleas he tries the iron-man stunt and seeks thso foad. It memnt bo permaitted %o rediste thet hest rupidly. As best netewallly rises, it can be rodisted firom the tep of both titles. On form so far, Maynard of Dart- mouth in the high jump, Sturdy of Yale in the pole vault and Black of Maine in the hammer throw will be favorites. But the far west wiil be hard to beat in the weights, with Rothert and Krenz of Stanford toss- ing the shot and discus, while Churchill and Curtice of California heave the javelin. © Anderson of Cornell looms as an eastern hope in the weights. YOUTHFUL DAYIS CUP TEAN 70 MEET CANADA American Zone Play Will Opea To- day When John Van Ryn Clashes With Crocker, Montreal®May 16 M—With John Van Ryn, of East Orange, N, J., showing the way, the youthful anl somewhat experimental Davis Cup team of the United States meets the Canadian team today in the:opening of the American zone Davis Cup play. Van Ryn, meets Willard Crocker of Montreal in the first singles match this afternoon, The second match brings togeth- er the No. 1 players of the two teams, John Hennessey of Indiana- polis, and Dr. Jack Wright of Mon- treal. The second set of asingles matches, which will be played Sat- urday, pit Van Ryn against Wright and Henneasey against Crocker, The lineups for Friday's doubles" on- counter still are in an uncertain state with several possibilities tor each team. The results of yesterday's draw were considered as strongly favor- ing the United States. The Canadian opinion was that the matching of Van Ryn with Crocker probably will send the American team off to a flying start toward the three match victories necessary to reach the sec- ond round tie with Japan. It is he- lieved that Wright, clearly the best of the Canadian players would have a much better chance against the former Princeton captain than [against the more experienced Hen- nessey, WINNER MEETS RISKO Boston, May 16 (UP)—The win- ner of tomorrow night's 10-round bout between Jim Maloney, South Boston heavyweight, and Ricardo Bertazzolo of Italy will meet Johnny Risko of Cleveland, O., in a 10- round bout at Braves Kield, June 10, according to an announcement by Eddie Mack, Boston garden matchmaker.

Pete De Grasse, New York, defeated Jimmy Picardi, Boston, in eight. Rene Lubear, New Haven, defeated Kid Wagner, New London, in six.
