Big Leagues Open Season Tuesdayj
LAUNCHED TUESDRY
Colorful Talent Will Be
Exhibited in Senior
Circuit This Year.
By HERBERT W. BARKER |
Associated Press Sports Writer
NEW YORK ~(A)—"* The .\‘n-g
tional league lJaunches its 60th |
season tomorrow aiming to keep |
the turnstiles clicking this sum- |
mer with as colorful h:lsf-hnllg
talent as ever roamed its parks. :
The magnates are not counting |
alone on Babe Ruth, who shifled'g
his base of home run operations to
the National league after 21 yéars!
in the rival loep. to pull the an-l
ton Braves out of the red and pro
duce a salutary effect on the l'l'-‘
ceipts all along the route. |
Two well-established brother|
acts, the incredible Deans of St.l
Louis and the Whaners of Pitts
burgh, will be at the same old
stands and so will slender Carl
Hubbel, No. 1 man of the NPW'
York Giants’ pitching “Big Four,”
and such other fixtures as Van
Mungo of the Deodgers, Court Davis
of the 'Philies, Mell Ott of the
Gilants and Wally PBerger of the
Braves.
The league’s revolutionary ex
periment with night baseball, sche
duled for later in the summer, also
should contribute to possibly the
most prosperous season in years
‘whatever its competitive effects, |
Baseball observers forsee a two
¢lub race for the pennant between
Frank Frisch’'s world champion
St. Louis Cardinals and the New
York Giants.
“ Although the Cardinals were
picked to win in the Associated
Press’ annual consensus, there has
been a definite shift of the Giants
the past week or so. ‘
The Chicago Cubs and Pitts
burgh Pirates both should benefit
from thelr big mid-winter trade’
which sent Larry French and
Freddie Lindstrom to the Cubs
for Guy Bush, Jim Weaver and
Floyd (Babe) Herman, but neither,
in pre-season calculations at least,
is figured to menace either the
Giants or the Cardinals.
Ruth rapidly nearing the end of
his playing days, probably will
help the Braves very little from n
playing viewpoint, whatever his
value at the box office, and Bill
McKechnie's club appears fore
@pomed to the second division.
The Cincinnati Reds, seeking to
terminate a four-year lease on the
cellay, are banking on a combina
‘tion of rookies. |
With any kind of a break from
the weather, the four inaugurals
tomorow—at Boston, Chicago, Cin
draw 125,000 fans. ‘

Baer’s Next Foeto
Be Selected Today;
’
Favor Jim Braddock
NEW YORK.—(#)—The day of
reckoning between heavyweight |
champion Max Baer and Madisnn!
Sqguare Garden was at hand today.
‘While Ancil Hoffmn, Max’'s man- |
ager, was buzzing around with a
hatful of ideas and plans, 11:1
seemed quite likely that things
would be settled .in short order
for a title bout between Baer and
James J. Braddock, the Jerscy
City slugger.
The Garden already has an
nounced, its acceptance of the
New York Stale Athletic Commis
sion’'s dictum ihat Braddock, sur
vivor of an e'im‘nation tourney,
must be Baer's next opponent and
has signed Jimmy for the bout.
According to its econtract with
the champion, the Garden had
until today to name a suitable op
ponent for Baer.
While Hoffman insisted that it
wasn't all settled, he was slateg
to meet Jimmy Johnston, Garden
promoter, for the official naming
today. It seemed unlikely that he
and Max would eXercise their
privilgge of saying the Jerseyman
wasn’'t “saitable.”
A date for the fight “around
June 10" will be set when John
ston applies to the eommission for
its approval of thé match.

Holes in one have been made in
tournament competition by Paul
Rynyan, Leo Diegel, Ross Somer
ville, and others, but none can
compare with this, the outstanding
shot in the history of golf.
Granted that Gene is a strong
finisher, as was provéed at Fresh
Meadows in 1932, when he scored‘
66 in the final round to snatch thei
National Open crown away from |
the waiting hands of Ph? Perkins, |
no one conceded him a chance of
Craig catching Wood as he mount

Wlood finished with 282, and]
Gene was three strokes behlnd.’
This would necessitate shaving a|
like number of strokes from par,
finishing in 13 strokes againt per
fect figures of 5-3-4-4; even then
Sarazen would only tie Wood.
But the seemingly impossible has
happened in sports. Touchdowns
have been scored after the final
whistle had blown; baseball teams
have come from behind to decide
the jssue in the ninth; and long
shots have thundered down thel
stretch to cross the wire a winner.‘
And here another long shot was
to decide a championship. 3
Hole No. 15, which was played
as No. 6 last year, {s described in
the Augusta National program as
a threeshot hole, It not only is an
interesting three-ghot hole, as one
will be maneuvering for position
from the tee onward, but it also is
a sporting two-shot hole.
A skillful and courageous player
is able to pull his second . shot

of a large hillock to the right.

The Slender Child |
Slenderness in itself does mot in
dicate a lack of vigor. Children,
like adults, are of various types.
Some are naturally more short and
stocky, while others are taller with
light bones. The frail child is thin
from lack of development, but the
naturally slender child may be only
light boned, and may really be in
perfect health, with good color and
remarkable strength and vitally
for his weight. Such a child is
~usually a good runner and very
factive. But when the slender child
is pale and inactive with g thin
;nock, drooping head, round shoul

Brief Summary of Every
Team Shows 2 Clubs
’
League’s Best.
By PAUL MICKELSON
Associated Press Sports Writer.
CHICAGQ.—(#)—The American
league has lost its Barnum, but
tomorrow it opens a baseball shov
that promises to surpass them al
inr excitement and thrills.
Babe Ruth, the great shnowman
who for years packed 'em in, has
joined the rival National leagus
show, but the actors and maestros
he left behind figure they will
more than make up for his depar
ture with a production ~<that will
hold an intense interest from cur
tain to curtain.
Here is the s tup with thg “ifs”
and trimmings, club by club:
Detroit: The Tigers, pennant
winners last yvear by seven games
over the now Ruthless Yankees
look far more formidable today
than at the start of last season
when Manager Mickey Cochranc
didn’'t know whether some of his
players, later stars, would de
liver. ‘
New York: In all fairness to the
Babe, most of the Yankees feel
they have been strengthened con
siderably by his departure, cer
tainly defensively. The team spirit
is higher.
Cleveland: The Indians look all
over the team to beat although
the catching = position, last year's
weak spot, may blight their hopes.
They will miss Bill Knickerbock
er, but Manager Walter Johnson
has made some fin¢ additions, no
tably in Louis Berger, a fielding
genius,
Boston: Can Lefty Grove come
back? That's the big if. Joe Cro
nin, acquired in the big deal with
Washington, will give the Red
Sox a great leadership and more
punch, but even he may be a big
question mark. L.
Philadelphia: Will Jimmie I'oxx
he more valuable behind the plate
than at first? Also will Connie
Mack’'s young pitchers, who won
two-thirds of their games in the
last six weeks of last season, con
tinue their rapid improvement?
Connie thinks they will. If they
do, and the A’s get some hitting,
they'll make them all hustle.
St. Louis: Not much change
here except for a little more punch
and probably a good starting
pitecher in Fay Thomas of Los
Angeles.
Washington: The Senators, so
riddled with injuries and sickness
last season that they didn't play
their first string once, may be
tough. Bucky Harris is back as
‘manager and may bring luck with
him. .
. Chicago: If spring. exhibitions
mean anything, Jimmy Dykes has
a vastly improved club with a
béttér punch and some young
‘pitchers.
