Pittsburgh. ra,, March Y (P) -- Manager Bill McKechnic of the Pirates was happy today, and for two good reasons.
 one cause for joy was that Max Carey. captain and center ttellcr or the world champions, who mad been in a s. Louis hospital ar rived in camp last night.
 The oshcr reason was that an A- ray taken of Eddie Moorc's injured foot showed that no bones were broken. Moore WIS hurt in a re- cent practice game.

CASSIDY HAS JOB
 0F FORMING NINE
High School Coach Has Only
 One Veteran Remaining

Coach George NJ. Cassidy win Iagain be confronted with seem ingly impossible job Of welding to- sethcr team with but one veter- an regular left from last year when the baseball season gets under way this spring. Captain Tim Clair, short stop, is the one member of last years varsity nine who will be back In uniform this season.
 The job of creating a pitching stan will be up 10 the Red and Gold mentor. This will be his hardest task. None of last years staff con sisting Of Lefty" Haber, Jackie" iConlon, and Gordon Salmon arc back, and at the present writing there does not seem 10 be very many good prospects. Dutch" Conway. an infeld substitute, may be groomed for mound duty. Al" Havlick, basketball star, is a likely candi- date for the position as is Eddie Hinchey, and "Ar' Fengler.
 A large squad win probably re- port for the initial practice, but Il will be a green bunch that will have to be taught the fundamentals Of the game before they will be useful in the lineup.
 Among the outfield men who are expected 10 form the nucleus of the nine are Eddie" LeWicki, and Char. low.
 A hard schedule has been arrang- ed, but 1t is not completed and will not be announced for some time Two games with Hartford Public Higi, school, St. Thomas Seminary Naugatuck High, Weaver High, New Haven Hillhouse High. and Lewis High school are expected to make UT the greater part of the schedule. The Hartford games will be on May S 1T this city and June 1o in Hartford The latter game will close the N. E H. $. season.

LEY BILLY ENANSl

New Orleans, La. March IT, Manager Lee Fohl of the Boston Red Sox is an optimist, In baseball an optimistic manager is ono who, after finishing in last place, still smiles and can see better things ahead.
 Sure! It's going to be better team than last year." r,.Iarked Fohl when l queriod him as to the outlook.
 No doubt there arc some unkinl folks who will discount that state ment by saying the club couldn't be any worse.
 T am going to get better pitch ing. l believe ] am conservative when l say it is going 10 be at least 25 per cent better than last season. That should help q lot.
 T am banking on my Big Three, Ehmke. Ruffing and Wingtield, to keep the club out of last place.
 "Ehmke has always been one of the best pitchers in the American league. There isn't an opposing batter in the orgina2ation who rclshes hitting against Howard.
 Pitching Looks Much Better
 "Rufing," I would say, lis the most improved young pitcher in the circuit He has all the stuff in the world and needs only experience. He improved 100 per cent last season.
 "Wingfeld. if he can continue the fine work of last fall must be con- sidered q most valuable asset.
 "Then there is Paul Zahnisor, who started slowly last year because he was late reporting and not in the best shape. If he comes through for me will have four dc pendablcs.
 "Of course, ] nm looking forward to improvement in all other depart mcnts, but of the itching l am posi- tive it is certainly going to be bet. ter than last season."
 AS l watched the Red Sox work out here l could sec the logic ir Fohls line Of reasoning relative tC his pitching l. should be muck better and the team should prove more formidable because of it.
 However, as Fohl frankly admits for tho club to start to get any. where the infield must be welded together.
 Ac present, Phil Todt at first bas' is perhaps the only certainty in th, Red SoX inner combination.
 Fred Haney. who did some might, good work for Cobb at Detroit, ant , Chester Fowler, with Minneapoli , last year, and who has been up be , foro with Cincinnati, will fight 1 , out for third base. , Shortstop Is Biggest Problem : Regardless of who wins the berth , the SoX will be better fortified d , that position than in years. Hane , will be hard 10 beat, In that cas Fowler may be used at short.
 Emmett McCann, who starred q Portland in the Coast league las season and who was dug up an tried out by Connie Mack som u years ago is the probable choice fo second.
 f Shortstop, the most importar
 position on a ball club, is the lea. settled of the Red Sox problems. would be taking long guess at tn
 time 10 name who would play tn spot at the opening of the seasoi , Shortstop is Lee FohIs bigget puzzle.
 t The outfield will he much ii Il same as last year, Flastead is tl y only outfieldcr sure of a berth. Il U will play center.

The Press is indebted to Prof. j.

The exact nature of sun spots is

new NASH MOTOR
CAUSES FURORE
in AUTO WORLD

An exhibit that is attracting pro
nounced local interest is the new
Nash ''enclosed car motor being
shown to the public for the first
time. II was mitiallv introduced AT
the New York Motor show and prov.
ed to be an outstanding attraction.
The reason for the discussion cen
tering around this engineering de-
velopment is the fact that Nash has
here approached and solved the
problem of providing power, speed,
acceleration, quietneSs, and long life
III a passenger car engine from a
standpoint entirely new to the in
dustry. In fact Nash engineers
have reversed precedent in seeking
to improve upon the performance
standards of today.
Since the beginning of the indus
try il has been general practice for
automobile engineers to develop
their motors upon the basis of the
requirements for touring car mod
els. Once they had achieved salts
factory performance. they employed
the same motor in the production of
their enclosed bodies The result
was that the standard Of perform
ance attained in open cars was new
er reached with the far heavier en-
closed models. And buyers have
long been accustomed to consolp
themselves with the thought that no
enclosed car could be expected to
perform like an open car.
But that was not necessarily true,
and Nash has deliberately set aside
custom and engineered motor es-
peciallv for the requirements Of en-
closed models. In fact, instead of
building the performance abilities
of the motor up to the lightest ear
of the line. Nash has created a mo-
tor to power the heaviest model and
to give that model the kind and cal
ibre of live. alert, powerful perform
ance that has hitherto been linked
only with the open car.
