American Legion committee. I've
got hunch that there's more sand
lot baseball teams this year than
ever before in history. A few years
ago when good old Squire Ebbets
got UP in a meeting and declared
that baseball was in its infancy. a
lot OF the fellows laughed at him.
But he was right-and all this
sand-lot interest proves it. After
all it is the sandlotters who are
keeping the game alive. Those OF
us who play professional baseball
love the game-but after all it's a
a job with US, the same as cIefking
in a store or working in a bank OF
being a guard on the subway.
The sandlotters play because they
love to play-and they're the great.
est supporters the game has.

the opening game of the season for
both elevens. One Of the most
promising teams to ever wear the
Blue and White on the gridiron has
rounded nicely to form and. now on
the eve of battle, is found tuggMg
at the ropes to get going.
Adhering to the training policy
of Coach Malloy the Mountmen
opened their conditioning season
under low power. All precautions
tending to eliminate, as far as
possible, accidents that might play
havoc with the Mountains chances
in the curtain-raiser. were taken.
The Mountain mentor, how
ever, speeded up his troops as
the hour of the opening gong
approached, matching off his

they not break their way into tht
regular lineup, will be mighty vel

The finding of some such fodder
to toss into the fray at its crucia

to be found in Zubris. Abby, Baran

League winner and hold its own.
This will be especially true II
Herb Pennock can deliver at least
two welI-pitched ball games.
Pennock is almost a necessity to
a Yankee triumph. Without him
the Yankees may not look so good,
especially If the st. Louis Cardinals
are opposing the American Leaguers.
The Cardinals have a veteran
staff with Haines. Alexander. Sher'
del. Rhem and Mitchell ready to
bear the brunt of the big series.
The Giants outstanding star is
Larry Benton, the leagues leading
finger, but F1tzsimnnons is the
only other member of the McGraw
staff of which much might be ex-
pected. The principal weakness Of
the Giants is in its pitching.

.EHNKE DENIES
HE'S NOT CAME

Howard Ehmke's gameness is
being questioned in Philadelphia.
The tall Highlander of the Mack
men hurt his knee with the YAM
KEGS. Some of the sharps. there are
inclined to agree with an opinion ex-
pressed some years ago by Ty Cobb
that all Ehmke needed to make him
an outstanding star was courage.
no one knows exactly whether Cobb
has changed his opinion about
Ehmke, ventured at the time he
was manager of the Tigers and
Ehmke was a pitcher there.
From the hospital Ehmke was
discharged on Saturday and the
question of his gameness was
apparently brought to his at.
tenti0n, for he issued denial
that he was laying down on
Connie Mack. i
'"The breaks have been against me
this year." explained Ehmke. "but

Charles A Lindbergh's new job will

not preclude his participation in

He made this clear in an inter-
