Early Review

Of T he National Baseball League

ATLANTA, 0a., Apr., 2-(C.P.)- Unless the unexpected happens in baseball there will be no drastic upheaval when all the 1929 returns are in for the National League. Spring indications point to four clubs in a fight for the first division places, and the favored quartet is made up of those finishing in the first four places last year.

Beau gemeni of the order in both upper and lower brackets seem likely. The champions, the 5t, 1.0.115

- Cardinals, will find ‘thcir High posi- tion definitely menaced by/Chicago. New York and Piitsburgh. some- students of the game have con. eluded that St. Louis is not greatly improved while the Cubs, Giants Pirates are definitely better.

The outlook for ihe clubs who finished in the second division last year if. not promising in view of the improved condition of their rivals who were ,more fortunate last sea- son. The Phillies, chronic tail end- ers, have taken the longcst strides and with a break in luck should get out of the cellar. ’

A majority of baseball's close ob- servers forecast a long and bitter struggle with the competition con- tinuing to the stretch. Each of the

i faul- first. division clubs of last year has ‘made a definite addition to its strength. The~ Cubs have Rogers Hornsby and his devastating bat, Giants expect Fred Leach to streng- then their out-field, the Pirates have Jess Petty, a star left liander, and the Cardinals infield has been braced by the acquisition of Charlie Gelbert, a great young shortstop.

Supporters of the Cubs believe that. the addition of Hornsby has made the club. The batting leader (f the league will add a~punch and his strong offensive is expected to carry his mates with him. If Manager Joe McCarthy gets satisfactory re- rults from his pitching staff his club should play a prominent part in the indicated finish fight. His infield re- serves have not been strengthened but an already stronigcatching staff has been bolstered by a hard hitter in Tom Angley, the former cracker and Georgia Tech star.

The New York Giants have been gratified to find Andy Reese, a greatly improved performer at second base and if he carries his terrific spring hitting streak into the re- gular campaign it will be difficult to oust him. from the infield. Carl Hubbell, who showed himself a c7115- eble left hander on his first appear- ance is better now and Leach and Ed, Roush, apparently recovered from his indisposition of last year will form a stronger ouifield combinat- ion. '

Pittsburgh is conducting an in-

field experiment and has been re- tarded in its outfield ll! ements by the absence of the Waners. The signing of one of the poisonous brothers relieved the tension in part but the Pirates will not be happy ,unti.l they have the elder as well. 'Jess petty supplies a touch the ,pitching department has long need- ed. Pittsburgh has not had an ex- perienced southpaw in many sea- sons. i

The Cardinals will take the field with a rearranged infield, including the sensational international league recruit, Geibert, at short stop. He has given every indication of being as good as he was touted and should develop into one of the stars of the game. ry Belph. another recruit infielder. barring a slowness on dou- ble plays, ha; also lived up to his press notices. The return of Waiter Roettger to physical fitness will add batting strength to the outfield.

Cincinnati has uncovered some promising young outfielders ‘giving manager Jack Hendrick food for thought. The gray pilot of the Reds must decide if any or all of them are reeady for promotion to the baseball heights. Silas Johnson, a young pit- cher, may be helpful..

After a. bad fright over the con- dition of the arm of Glenn Wright, his new short stop, manager Wilbert Robinson has been able to turn his attention to his outfield where he has a difficult problem in working out an arrangement that will be satisfactory from a defensive and offensive standpoint. He may in- troduce a new Jack. There is no sug- gestion that he has found a pitcher in the new crop to replace Petty but Dazzy Vance will continue to throw them by the opposition batt- ers.

The Phillies for the first time in years will be able toipresent a tight infield combination in Don Hurst. Fresco Thompson, Tommy Thevenow and Red Whitney. There is a woeful lack of ’rcserve strength but the first stringers will rank high. In spite of the loss of Leach, Burt shotton should improve his position.

The Boston Braves will be an ex- periment from the manager to the trainer. President-Manager Emil Fuchs will direct play from the bench, a new field ofcndeavor for the fol-m- er judge. A new training system has also been introduced along very mod- ern lines. The Braves have drawn on champion clubs for new players, Joe iDllgilfl and Pat Collins from the the Yanks and George Harper and Rabbit Maranville from the, Card- inals. Lance Richbourg, an out.- standing outfielder, will ntinue to run his hits out.

Dan Howlcy, hustling manager o! the St. Louis Browns, is not con- tent with the fact that his gang finished third last year after the teomwas almost entirely rebuilt. Al- most everyone overlooked the Browns in the early ratings last Spring. This year, the dopesters cannot; afford to do any belittling when it comes to Howley’; team.

After glimpsing the Browns in their

early. workouts at West Palm Beach. ,the teanfiwmsecms to have a sweet §chance, and, despite the surprise sprung by St. Innis last year, How- ley is continuing to build. And he has some youngsters with him that would be an asset on any man's ball club. ’

i Starting back of the plate, Howley has a new catcher in Dick Ferrell, the youngster who ‘ ' ‘ to Det- roit but who was declared e. free agent after backstopping for Colum- bus, 0.. last year. President Phil Ball paid him a bonus of $25,000 for

‘jotting his name on the dotted line and that's a lot of money. However, he looks worth the price and he's likely to do most of the receiving when the season gets under way. Incidentally Dick has a. brother, Wes-

ALLIANCE SUGGESTED

WASHINGTON. Apr., 2—An al- liance between Canadian wheat pools and United States wheat growers was suggested by J. W. Brlnton, of Lincoln, Nebraska. before the Senate agriculture committee today as a means of stabilizing the price of wheat. He said 80 per cent of ihe wheat of the world~is grown in these two countries and that if they co-opented they would be able to control the‘ price rather than have the worldmlarket do so.

Collins, Jonnard. and Kinlsey look to be the pick of the six new ones be- ing tried out. They're all right-hand- ed flingers. Collins will be remem- bered as the same fellow who for- merly did mound duty for the Yan- kees, Red Box and Tigers. Last yea: he won 1'7 and lost 9 pitching for Toronto 1n the International Lea- gue. He's 32 years old and a six- footer, weighing over 200 pounds. Claude Jonnard is another old- timer whose arm wasbelieved. gone three years ago when he was re- leased by the Browns to Milwaukee. But, with two winning seasons in the American Association, Jonnard is up for another shot and is expect- cd to make the grade. Chad Kim- sey is a young giant who stands two inches over six feet and weillhs 300 pounds. Only 23 years of age, Kim- sey won 23 and lost '1 with Tulsa last season. Kimsey is noted as being

frhis 23-year-old Leonard Dondero looks like a great find. He had four years of athletics at St. Mary's in California and hit .373 at Tulsa last season fits first year as» a pro.‘ He throws and bats right-handed and, if he stands up like he started, How- ley will surely use him either at second. or third. And he's likely to have the fans standing up and root- ing for him.

Another likely prospect is Id Grimes, another 23-year-old kid, who is listed as a. third baseman. Grimes played the last two years with Tulsa and hit .334 in 1928. Originally spear ed ofi’ the Chicago sandlots, Grimes. like Dondero, has all the earmarks of a big league ball player.

Detroit Tigers L o o k For Good Season Un- der Managership Of

Stanley ‘Bucky’ Har-

rnomunf, Ariz., April 2—-(C.P.)-— Whether Stanley "Bucky" Harris plays or not, he is a factor that can- not Well be overlooked when the chancellor the Detroit ‘Tigers in the forthcoming American League cam- olién are considered.

‘Bucky’ might be new to the club’ _but nevertheless he is an experienced hand at putting out good ball ieams. Hisrecord will attest to that. In the five years that he has been wielding managerial reins, his pro- ducts never have finished out of the first division.

Considerable interest will center upon Harris’ debut with the Tigers. forhls accession to the manager “up bringsthem s. leader of a typg. new to _,Detroit baseball. He has a way of handling the team that is interest- ing to study, _ i

After ‘oiding down an outfield berth for the past ten years, Harry Heilmann, ‘whose chief enjoyment appears to be knocking dry knots out of baseball fences, has been assign- ed to first base. Heilmann, who a- gain aims to lead the league in hit- ting, is finding coverase of thg in- itidl-s-ack much to his liking,

Dale Alexander, formerly of Tor- onto. a. fence. buster, has been hit- ting s mighty pace to vie with Hell- mann. The six-foot-three-inch first base prospect, who batted .380 last season, appears to have put in a stronger bid for.1929 hitting honors than has Dudley Branom, drafted from Louisville where he led the American Association in total bases and hit around .320.

best second sucker in the league and a $18 batsman last, yearflwill again fill the berth he has held for the last three seasons. He has Francis Siga- foos, drafted from Portland of the Pacific Coast League, as a rival. while Manager Harris also can play second, but does not plan. to do so unless an emergency arises.

Heir-lie Schuble, once with the St. Louis Cardinals, and last year with the Houston club cf the Texas Lea- gue,‘ has been working his head oil

ito make the shortstop grade. Mortie 'McManus, veteran of two years, is a

certainty at third.

If Roy Johnson. $75,000 fly chaser from‘ the Ban Francisco Club of the Coast league, fits into the place Harris has opened for him, the Tig- ers will have an outfield possessed of both power and speed. ,

sey, Howley has two of the bllikiesir pitching recruits in the pastime.

"Red" Kress, the big sensation of last year, will be the key man around whom Howley will build his infield. Blue will be back at the initial 00r- ner, but there is some doubt about the second base and hot corner jobs, but whoever holds down the posts the Browns should have a strong in- field. i‘ ' ’

FINE BANQUET

"A real good time"—-Was the un- animous verdict of forty or more Abegiveit llockeyista and officials who sat down to a sumptuous and splendidly served banquet table at. the Parker House last evening, at the conclusion of which speeches were made by His Worship Mayor Yeo, one of the biggest supporters of athletics in the Province. Messrs. S. F. Doyle, Chairman of the Hock- ey Committee, Jack Stems, Abcgweit President. Fred Moore. Abegweit Coach, charlie Stewart and others.

The trend of the remarks of the various speakers was along lines ath- letically and hockey in particular and

‘the furthering of tho Abegweit Ath-

letic Club in general. As above men- tioned. the banquet was a decided success. -
