Indians, Tigers, Cardinals, And
Cubs Gather Leading Prospects
Standout of Group Is Boblj
Feller, Star Pitcher Ruled
Property of Tribe.
By SCOTTY RESTON
N6W YORK—(®#)—The Cleveland
Indians, Detroit Tigers, St, Louis
Cardinals ang Chicago Cubs pick
ed up the best of this year's major
league prospects, an Associated
Press poll of major league man
agers indicated today.
Standout of the lot, of course,
was Bob Feller, whose graduation
to Cleveland by means of book
keeping without his having play
ed for a minor league club was the
source of considerable excitement
and worry at the recent baseball
meetings. Aside from him there’s
no single standout player, but the
managers list the following as
outstanding rookies:
(leveland: Pitcher Charlie Fis
cher, Buffalo, led International lea
gue with 17 victories 2 defeats;
Tom Henrich, outfielder from New
Orleans iy Milwaukee; batted
846 in 157 games for New Or
leans.
Detroit: Rudy York, first base
man from Milwaukee, hit .334 in
167 games; Chet Laabs, outfielder
from Milwaukee, batted .324 in
1567 games.
Cardinals: Catcher Arnold “Mic
key” Owen, Columbus, hit .336 in
126 games and was hailed as one
pf the finest receivers seen in the
minors in years: Infielder Ira
Smith, Houston, batted .313 ja
Texas league.
Cubs: Joe Marty, outfielder from
Los Angeles, leq Pacific coast bat
ters with mark of .359 in 164
games,
The energetic Cincinnati club
and the personal scouting system
of Manager Bill McKechnie of
the Boston Bees also brought in
some promising youngsters. The
Reds obtained two outstanding
boys from the Durham, N. C.,
club of the Piedmont league, In
fielder Frank MoCormick and Pit
cher John Vandermeer. McCormick
batted .881 and Vandermeer won
19 games and lost only 6,
McKechnie took time out in mid
season for a scouting trip and
came up with two pitchers who
stand near the top of the “AA”
class,. He got St. Paul's Lou
Fette, who won 25 games and lost
8 to lead the American Associa
tion hurlers, and Bill Harris of
‘Buffalo, who won 15 and lost 11.
‘Harris pitcheq two no-hit games
in the International loop, one a
seven-inning affair.
In addition to Marty. Bob Doerr
pf San Diego and Eddie Joost of
San Francisco, both infielders,
were generally conceded to be the
“past league’s top prospects. The
\Boston Red Sox got Doerr and the
’Beds Joost. . One of Cincinnati's
‘best products, catcher John Pea
cock, wound up with the Red Sox,
‘who signed him after he was de
clared a free agent.

MEET MIGHTY “MIDGETS”
Associated Press Names Annual
‘Tittle All-American” Team
By ALAN GOULD |
NEW YORK &)~ This year's
“Little America”, selected by As
sociated Press survey from the
small-college footballers who romp
the gridirons from coast to coast,
presents an aggregation of talent
that belies its designation.
With aline averaging 200 pounds
and 6 feet 2 inches, from eng to
end, clearing the way for a quar
tet of wunusually versatile ball
hardlers, the team’'s manpower
qualifies for ecompetition in any
league.
The selections represent the pick
of players who annually perform
without ballyhoo or headlines, ex
cept for such recognition they get
in their own bailiwicks or when
they tackle the bigger fellows.
From their ranks e2ch year pro
fessional teams gather talent that
often steals the big league show
from more illustriously built-up
All-America performers.
With the exception of Norman
Cooper, captain of the Howard
(Ala.) team and choice for center
on the 1936 “Little All-America”,
the seletions have been made from
colleges with a student body well
under the 1,000 mark. Most play
ers represent schools with less
than 500 undergraduates.
Kicking off, we find the east
back in power after many medio
cre seasons, filling four places in
the “Little All-America” eleven.
The south, middle west and far
wesy occupy two places, the south
west one.
Lone repeater is Trinity’s Mic
key Kobrosky, powerhouse back of
this Hartford (Conn.) college.
Mickey is rated tops as an all
around back by New England ob
servers.
Pro league scouts already have
had their attention called to ex
ploits by “Little All-America” line

PART 4: THE LIFE STORY OF
The New King of England
TR TIR ERIVTTIRIE I wN™™
(The last of four articles on \‘
the life of the Duke of York, "
successor to the throne of l‘
King Edward VIII). i
By MILTON BRONNER 1
NEA Service Staff Correspondent. 1
LONDON.—Quiet and retiring
even in bachelorhood, the Dul-:el
of York, now George VI, after his
marriage probably would have
been only too glad to fall into the
inconspicuons role of “family
man,” ignored by press and pub-
He; ]
But two things worked against
his comyplete retirement from the,l
limelight. i
One, was the fact that his fa
ther, the late King George V, felt |
that his second son should shoul
der some of the responsibilities
of empire rule.
The other was the birth—on
April 21, 1926, about & year after'
the Duke's wedding—of a pretiy
davghter, the Princess Elizabeth
Alexandria Mary, who by dint of
her own personality and through
careful newspaper propaagnda,
soon became probably the most
popular individual member of the
entire royal family.
It was recognized that, unless
the then Prince of Wales married
and had issue, or unless her own
parents had a son, she would, if
she lived, be Queen of England
some day. Another Queén Eliza
beth. :
The papers delighted to retail
stories about “Lillybet”’—as Eli:-l
abeth called herself-——and “Gran
pa King,” as she . called Kingy
George. What was true in these
articles was that the little girl had
completely captured the heart of
the King and that they had be
come excellent pals. All of which
was good grist for the London
Jjournals.
And on August 21, 1930, arrived
“Lillybet’s” little sister, Princess
Margaret Rose, who also now is
an apple of .the British publie’s
eye. %
Shares Wales’ Duties
In these years, King George had
delegated wvarious representative
duties to his eldest son, the Prince
of Wales, but deemed it wise not
to crowd too much wupon his
shoulders. Alsp he believed 1t
would not be a bad idea to l.¢

Darlings of ‘the British public are Princess Elizabeth (left), who one day may be Queen, and
younger sister, Margaret Rose, portrayed in a new and exclusive picture. They, probably as much
as his own accomplishments, have kept George VI and his smiling Queen (top) in the limelight.
lof these tasks. Thus the Duke
represented his father at the wed
iding of the late King Alexander
luf Yugoslavia, at the coronation
of King Carol of Rumania, and
at the wedding of the Crown
Prince of Italy.
But these were all “easy cant
ers.” About all the Duke had to
do was to wear a uniform and
| look pleasant. He had no long
journeys to make, no speeches to
deliver. Just as easy from a pub
lic point of view was his expedi
tion to Africa in 1925, when he
did some hunting in Kenya. Per
{ haps more exciting than shooting
lions was the fact that on this
trip, for the first time he crossed
the line of the Equator and, in
accordance with ancient custom,
was duly ‘“shaved” and ducked
by Father Neptune and his crew
of hearty British sailors.
Goes Around the World
In 1927 a more important job
loomed for him. The Common
wealth of Australia was to hold a
great celebration in honor of the
't‘urmal opening of the new Par
liament houses in- the new capi
tal of Canberra. This city, like
America's Washington, is a made
to-order capital ecity, just as
Washington was. The Australians
wanted somebody from the rojal
house to go out there and preside
over the opening. IThe King,
[when Prince of Wales, had visit
led Australia, and so had his eld
est son.
It was therefore, decided that
the Duke of York and his Duch
| €SB should go to the antipodes.
| From the young man's standpoin®
! there was one main objection tc
| the errand—his stutter. This
lwould seriously interfere with the
speeches he was expected to
{ make. But he put himself in the
lhands of an Australian specialis:,

was able to deliver a fair speech.
On January 6, 1927, the Duke
and Duchess set sail on the huge
battleship “Renown,” reaching
the Panama Canal: two weeks
ll&ter.‘ They made a brief and tri
umphal stop at the British pos
session of the Fiji Islands and so
on to New Zealand, where the
{ Duchess especially carptured the
crowds by the smile that the Lon
don papers—in naming her ‘“the
Smilinrg Duchess’—had made fa
mous.
At last, bidding New Zealand
good-bye, they rejoined their ship
and made another 1,000-mile
journey, this time to the great
metropolitan c¢ity of Sydney in
Australia. £ :
Finally, they went to Canberra
in May, 1927. After the elaborate
ceremonies there, they returnecd
to their ship and started on the
long homeward journey. The em
pire got rather a nasty shock on
May 26, when .the vessel wire
lessed there was a fire on board,
caused by oil in the boiler room.
However, the ship was stopred
and the conflagration put out, the
main damage being- slight burns
to four seamen. .
Now thoroughly broken inty
public life, the Duke _was given
many other jobs by his father
In 1929 he was made Lord High
Commissioner for the annual con
vocation of the Church of Scot
iand, which takes place in Edin
burgh with great ceremony. ‘Also
in the same year he represented
the Kinz in Oslo at the wedding
of Crown Prince Olav to Princesg
Martha of Sweden.
Develops Personal Touch
There are not afloat many inti
mate, personal anecdotes concern
ing the Duke of York. But on his
own hook, he has inserted a
don, and by very hard work soon
frank and human note in his
speeches which often reveals his
fondness for his famliy and his
humorous attitude toward the
way it is treated by the British
press.
For instance, in February, 1930,
in opening a new school, *he paid
a neat compliment to, his Scot:h
wife, saying:
“T commend study of domestic
science in «ll seriousness, for I
know from personal experience
what real comfort can be given
to a home by a wife who is in
terested in domestic matters.”
In May, 1930, he attended a
dinner in support of the: British
Press Fund, which seeks ‘to’take
care of sick' and impoverished
newsparer © men. Among other
things, the Duke slyly said:
“I owe a rather special debt es
gratitude to the gossip columns
of our newspapers for, if T am in
doubt as to what is happening in
my own home, I need only ‘turn
to! the gossip in the Daily Wonder
and I find all the information I
require. The latest remark or
action of our little daughter Eliz
abeth, though probably .totally
unknown to myself, is set out in
detail.”
‘When his brother ascended the
throne, the new King honored the
Duke in various ways to accentu
ate the faet that he was heir prre
sumptive to the throne. Thus one
of King Edward's first acts was
to promote the Duke to some of
the highest ranks in the British
army, navy and air force. And
on the eve .of St. Patrick’s Day,
1936, the King made him g
Knight of the Order of St. Pat*-
rick. As he was already a Knight
of the Garter and a Knight of the
Thistle, the Duke was thus made
a member of all the great Brit
ish orders of chivalry coming
down from the far past.
