PREDICT SENATOR'S
 WILL LAND ON TOP
BuCky Harris Sure His Team Will Come Through This Year

Atlanta, Ga, April R - In spite of references of baseball critics 10 the Washington Senators as "cripples" and "old men," Bucky Harris, youthful player manager, said here yesterday that "it is the same outfit that won tho worlds championship year before last and the American league pen nant last year.
 If history repeats itself, we will land on top this year" Harris said. My team Is not composed of old men. It Is all made up of some of the best ball players ever produced. Just because a man has had eX- perience. doesn't mean that he cant play baseball"
 Harris said he would start the season with the same team that ap- peared last year in the world se- res.
 If they are good enough to be runners-up for the worlds cham pionship, I guess they will look pretty good to start things off again."
 Buddy" Myer, who replaced Bluege at third last season when the latter was injured by q pitched ball. may relieve Roger Peckin- paugh part of the time at short stop. While Peck" Is not slowing Up any, he has a leg that must be nursed.
 Myer is a good fielder, throws well, but Peck is one of the best battors in baseball Harris sees lit- tie chance of Peck losing his posi- ton permanently.
 The entire Washington team is in good physical condition and barring injuries, will begin from the start of the season as a serious contender for the American league flag, Harris said.

UPTON HERE WITH
 YACHT CHALLENGE
Sir Thomas Is Eager to Press
 for Elusive Trophy

New York, April 9 R,--A quarter of century quest of the America 8 cup today finds Sir Thomas Lipton, here on visit, still eager at tho ago of 76 to press on for the elusive yachting trophy, an ambition which has outliyed four straight defeats and an expenditure of close to S10.- 100000.
 will my next challenge be my last. you ask? Certainly not, if we fail. of yachting trophies in the world, but l never shall be satisfied until 1 win back for Great Britain the cup America took from us 75 years ago."
 Thus did Sir Thomas indicate how deeply the quest has taken root in q man to whom the world has yielded fame, fortune and friendships, yet who has been denied the prize he covets.
 T am still robust and healthy. I keep that way because l never have indulged in smoking and drinking, and because ] make business my fun," said the genial Irish sports man who has become one of the most interviewed men in the world. Forty-tive requests for visits from newspaper men and magazine writ CTS have been received by him since his arrival early this week.
 Yachting has been Sir Thomas hobby since boyhood days, although his early experiences in sea travel as a steerage passenger did not tend to kindle youthful enthusiasm.
 "I came over here in the steerage at r and went back the same way" he explained, "hut I took back something the family badly needed my own experience In America, barrel Of flour to make griddle cakes and a rocking chair for mother"
 Except to affirm his intention of challenging for the cup next Octo- Der in anticipation of series Of races in July, 1927, Sir Thomas in- dcated that his plans were indett- nite. He says he has not yet dis cussed with designers the size and style of yacht he will pit against Americas s dcfender--a craft whose entry in the contest is expected to cost him at least another million dollars.
 Our defeats In the past have been due partly to the Herroshoif-dosign- ed American boats and partly to clever handling by American skip pers. Rut l hope we have proiited enough by our experiences to win the next scrics," he concluded.

(BY JOE WILLIAMS)

New York, April 9.-Until Fidel La l3arba came to this town and messed one Lew Perfetu around in an energetic unceremonious manner New York has been asking itself What's wrong with Frankie Ge- naro?"
 You may recall that Genaro, a local product, with three victories to his credit over the late Pancho Villa, was generally accepted as the best 112 pounder in the racket.
 That is, he was until he went to the coast in the early summer and in an unguarded moment agreed to debate a matter of the fists with q former amateur who had gained q certain local prestige by winning the Olympic title in the tlyweight division.
 This reformed amateur was Fidel La Barba, a fellow Italian of some IS summers and a precisely equal number of winters.
 New York agreed something must be wrong with Genaro. Possibly it was the climate. You know how it Is when we customers venture into a strange land where there is marked difference in climate and customs. Almost anything is liable to happen.
 New York did not pause for a fleoting moment to consider that possibly the gifted Genaro had simply been beaten by superior i fighter This seemed too absurd for consideration. And besides, who had ever heard of this La Barba beyond the Rockies?
 And then Tex Rickard persuaded La Barba to come east for the holi- days, a shopping tour on the avenue, a sightseeing expedition and, if there was time enough left, little siX-round shindy with Lew Pcrfctti.
 Forthwith Ln Barba proceeded 10 give New York the answer to it's most pcrpleXing tistic question, to i wit; What's wrong with Frankie Genaro?" The answer was, in brief. La Barba.
 La Barba only fought six rounds but he showed undeniable class. It is custom to compare current f1v- weight articles 10 Jimmy Wilde. Whether La Barba is actually an. other Wilde remains to be proved.
 You are safe in saying however he comes closer to Wilde than any fyweight the game has had in the past five years, And that goes fol Pancho Villa, too.

ANDERSON 10 MEET
 FOOTE AT CASINO
State Champion Takes Eight Out
 Of Nine From White

Eddie Anderson, state champion duckpin bowler, is in a grim state of mind for his match with his local rival, Joe Foote, representative of Rogers alleys, at the Casino alleys tonight. Evidence of this was given at the Casino last night when An derson, rolling against White of New Haven in state league match, took eight out of nine games.
 Anderson was in wonderful shape and did some unusually fine bowl ing. He averaged 1885 to Whites 104.1. Eddie made 30 spares and five strikes. He missed seven spares. White made r spares and three strikes. He missed ten spares. The New Haven bowler was forced 10 pile up a total of 1S7 to take tho only game of the match he won, so wonderful was Anderson pinning them up. This made the high mark for the night Just 10 show how Anderson was hitting them, only in the fourth game did he roll less than 110, and in this frame he hit the pins for 1o2.
 Tonight the match that New Britain bowling fans have been waiting all season for will take place at the Casino alleys when An- dcrson and Joe Footc clash, Be- sides being a state league match, this will also about decide the city championship. These two are roc ognizcd as the leading lane artists in the city, but in each camp there has always been question as 10 which was superior.
 Anderson, representing the Casino alleys, and Foote, representing Rogers lanes, arc rivals with the most intense feeling between them. When Anderson injured his back g. few weeks ago, just prior to his two slated matches with Foote. it was whispered about in certain cir cles that the champion was a little 1 afraid of the other local man. Foote's camp discounted this. know | ing that such was not the case, but | Anderson and his followers are out to show the boys on the north side of Church street just how good the champion can be when he is pushed. E'oote, on the other hand, is eager 1 for this match. He has been doing some fine and steady bowling in the state league and promises to make things hum for the boys tonight. His eye has never been better and his ball Is hitting off the head pin every time. With Anderson going like he is and Foote in his best con- dition no other match in state league circles could equal tonights battle at the Casino. Both will 1 play the second match at Rogers alleys next week. the day to be se- ] lected.
 The games will be started at 2 o'clock, or shortly after, and every one who is interested in bowling will be on hand to witness the spectacle.
 The scores of last nights match between Anderson and White are as follows:
 White-as, ss. 1o1. 100, 1o6. 137. iii, 91, 99-total 037.
 Anderson--123. 127. 1t4. 102, is. 115, 122. 121, 127-total 1,o67.

JONES AND HAGEN
 LEADERS ON LINKS
Pair Is Favored to Win in Golf Campaigns During This Year

New York; April Q Pt--Thc dom, mating positions that Walter Hagen and Bobby Jones occupy in golf stand out in striking relief as the 1926 campaign spreads its frontiers northward.
 Nowhere among the deeds of knights of the niblick. here or ! abroad, has there been record to surpass the achievements of these two stars over the past four years. Tn sport conspicuous for Its in consistcnciee, where champions rise to dizzy heights one day and flop" with a dull thud the next, the feats of Hagen and Jones gain added Jus | ire by contrast.
 Here and in other countries dur l ing the last four seasons. Hagen twice lifted the British opeff cham pionship, missed it once by q stroke on t third occasion and captured the Professional Golfers association ! title for the past two years.
 In the same span, Jones, confining his activities chiefly to his home land, has won the open champion- ship once, finished second in his three other tries for it and gained the national amateur crown twice in succession.
 Others have reaped laurcls in this time, Sara2en in 1922, Walker in 1924 and Willie McFarlane last sea- son carried off the open champion ship. Sarazen also held the r. G. A. honors In 1922 and 1923, but none of these stars has quite ap- preached the all around, consistent brillia Ice of Hagen and Jones.
 Average Strokes
 In the last six years of play in the American open championship, Jones has averaged 296 1-3 strokes for each 72-hole test, three strokca better than Hagcn's average of 299i5. These marks top the per l IofndnCeS or all rivals.
