I D
TAP OFF

Earle Moser is coming back to
town. one of his two big league
ambitions satisfied. Most wash
ington basketball fans. high school
followers in particular, remember
Earle as the husky guard OF the
championship Central High five Of
1886.
Sunday and Monday nights at
the Arcadia, Moser's host Of friends
will see him do his stuff for the
Baltimore Orioles of the American
League against the Washington
Palacers. Earle has made good in
pro basketball and If the signs do
not fail he will play regularly at
guard for Johnny Beckman's qulnt
the remainder Of the season.
When he left Central q year
ago MOser told his friends he
was going after jobs in pro.
fessiOnal baseball and basket.
ball. First he started I'm the
former, getting work from
Bucly Harris as warm-up
catcher in the bull pen at
Griffith Stadium and with the
advice of some of the Ma.
tiOnals the youth showed steady
Improvement.
It seems improbable that Moser
will climb the ladder in baseball
as rapidly as he has done in the
cage sport, but If a spirit Of
determination counts he surely will
get there.
Recently In Cleveland, the Orioles
were trailing the Rosenblums by
one point in the last minute Of play
when Buddy Bushman, Baltimore
guard, Gagged q shot from the mid.
die Of the floor. In doing 30 Bush.
man was fouled and injured. and
Moser was called from the bench
to shoot the resulting pair Of free
losses. In true style the Wash
ington boy sank the BAN twice.
assuring the Orioles Of victory.
Moser has played in twelve games
with Baltimore and has scored eight
field goals and twenty-eight fouls
for a total Of forty-four points.
Jazz Chizmadia, 2O-year-oId guard
and center, has been recalled by
the Palace Club from the Lorain
Ohio team as the first move in a
plan to strengthen the Washington
outfit for the remainder Of this
campaign and for next season.
Several deals are rumored that
may be consummated at the direc.

Basketball League in April.

III try and answer them here. Az
4 70 the home runs, that's foolish. The
answer is. Of course. that I'll r1y to
hit 40 many as can. I don't
promise to break my old record.
That's q pretty big Job. But I'll be
IN there trying every minute, and
I'm feeling great. / hope to do we'll
Now, about the Yankees.
We've got good ball cIub-bet-
ter than lot Of people give US
/ credit Tor. Last year we won
the pennant because we had the
t punch. We've still got 1t. And
she kids who made. the team for
4 US last year ought to Be a lot
better this season. I've always
I said. and still think, that Tony
Lazzeri, Lou Gehrig and Mark
KOenig are about three Of the
i best infielderS to break In for q
long time. Mark was 4 little
cratic last year. but he'll do
better this season. And the
others are sure to improve, too.
But I don't think the .Yanks or
anyone else will run away with the
pennant. It's a little early to make
any prediction as to who will win
and who won't, but I'll make a
guess right now that the American
League race this year win be the
toughest one that's come along in
quite some time.
A lot Of fans are already giving
the flag to the Athletics. That's
the bunk. Connie Mack has a great
club-better than last year. But
there are lot or other good clubs,
too, ana the old flag won't be won
until september or October.
The Yankees are stu in
there. Don't forget that. And
Detroit and Cleveland and Wash
ingtOn. Even the White SOx
look like they had q chance II
] Wariie and Peck can hold up
on the infieId. Maybe some
people might give the AS the
pennant, but not me. I'll grant
It after, they've won. and not
minute sooner.
A little later on, when the boys
get oiled up and going, you can get q
lot better line on the various clubs.
No one knows now Just what the
pitchers are going to do. or how the
kid players are going to fit in. If /
had to make predictions right now
I'D say that the Athletics chances
depend on this chap Boley at short
stop. The Yankees chances hinge
on the way their young pitchers
come through. Detroit has got to
bolster up it's infield; Cleveland must
get the same sore of pitching they
got last season. And that's the way
1t goes down the line.
In the springtime when teams
90 into camp at the smart base
ball men know that their chances
depend upon their ability to
bolster up certain weak spots
which always exist. They get .
lot of young players and bring
them into camp. After that
Il is q gamble. If the kids
come through everything's hotsy.
tOtsty. II they don't it's too
bad.
At this time OF the year about
the only thing any manager or any
player can say is that he's in there
trying, and he's out to make fight
of it.
