DALLAS, April 7.-Getting ready

we have q ball club that will be a
pennant contender from the opening
day to the finish. L see and hear
that we may start the season as the
favorite, and. other managers have
been saying nice things about us,
but 1 prefer to let the club show
how we feel about it, instead Of talk
ing about it.
The only problem I had in the
training camp was to decide upon a
lead-off hitter and to choose between
Rhyme and Cronin. The latter was a
real puzzle.
We have r fast club and 1 intend
to develop our attack with speed as
the primary objective. Speed has
been overlooked in this modern game
of smuggling, but it is still an impor-
tant weapon of the offense.
We are getting along fine together
and the boys want to win just as
much as l do.

NEW YORK, April 7.-Attempts

The new rule applies particularly
