Boston, Mar. 10. - (AP) - The
Braves feel a lot better today as a
result of their decisive e to l victory
yesterday over the New York Yanks
at the st. Petersburg camp. 1t was
the Braves game all the way and
the Yankees looked and played away
off form. Babe Ruth went through
the entire game without getting a
single hit, although he did catch
hold of two of Wertz's pitches for
wicked fouls which must have land
ed two or three squares from the
ball park.
Bill Cronin caught the full game
for the Tribe, while Wertz shared
pitching honors with Cooney and
Benton.
1t was the busiest day of the Red
SoX training season at the New Or
leans park.
They put on a nine inning scrap
in which the Yannigans downed the
regulars q to D. Fred Haney showed
he had not forgotten how to hit, by
siamming over two doubles.

NO PROMISE OF BIG

New York, Mar. 10.-(AP)-If
any newcomers to major league
baseball ranks this spring have been
showing symptoms OF become Sec
ond Cobbs, Speakers, Hornsbys or
Johnsons, the reports thus far from
correspondents on the southern bat
tlefronts have failed to indicate it.
This is not because Of any lack
Of rookie material. much Of it prom
Using. Glowing reports of the work
of some Of them have drifted north
ward this week, with the condition
ing campaigns in full swing over
the area from Catalina Island, Calf,
to Tampa, Fla. On the whole, how
ever, the critics with the various
clubs have found little to startle
them into telegraphing the rhapsod-
ic sort of praise usual to this stage
Of the baseball season.
Brooklyn, which is doing as much
if not more rebuilding than any
other major league club. seems to
have found a partial solution to its
pitching problem in the form dis
played by two newcomers. One OF
them, Douglas McWeeny. from the
Pacific Coast League, is not in the
rookie class however. He was up
with White Sox for some time and
is apparently ready for a comeback.
Ray Moss. right handler obtained
from Memphis by Brooklyn, also is
displaying ability.
The White Sox. reports indicate,
are placing high hopes on Alphonse
Thomas, pitcher, who was a big
factor in <Baltimore's seventh
straight pennant victory last season.
Other new faces prominent in the
training picture so far include Joe
Buskey, shortstop with the Phila-
delphia Nationals; al Tyson, out
field product of the Louisville Amer
lean Association, which is counted
upon by the New York Giants to
fill the center field berth, and Clark
son, Giant pitching prospect from
the Virginia League.
