DUE
To SLIP

NEW YORK, March %
One of the best bets of the day
is that the worlds champion
New York Yankees will not
be bowed politely into another
American League pennant this
year; that, if they win again,
which is entirely plausible,
they will be pursued up to the
wire, not escorted, and that
they may even experience a
few bad moments en- route.
This is not written because the
Yanks are blowing lot of exhibit
ton games in the South. It repre-
sents. in fact, the dispassionate opin-
ion of smart baseball men, who pay
exactly no attention to exhibition
records. These, after all, come
within the general meaning of a
swell practice putt. The Yankees
have the stuff and sooner or later
1t will come out like a pardoned con-
vict.
But there Is Well-fOunded SuS-
piciOn that the pitching they had
and the pitching they knew last
year are no more and never
again win be. They still figure
to get plenty Of both, Of course;
enough, i'm fact, so that the man
doesn't live who would bet
against them as pennant pros
pect. The only thing is that the
league is somewhat better and
the Yanlxs are somewhat worse.
Any baseball man, for example,
will lay you odds that Ruth and
Gehrig don't hit all those home runs
again. They say that one Of them
may repeat, but never both. 1t may
be mentioned that Ruth and Gehrig
have hit precisely none so far.
The Yanks themselves will bet
you that they don't beat the St.
Louis Browns nearly as many times
as they did last year. Their 1927
record against the Browns was q
baseball miracle and those kind OF
things just don't happen more than
once. It accounted for not q small
portion OF the Yankees 19-game lead
at the pay off.

BUCKNELL TEAM
OPPOSES c. j.
BY George A. Simpson

Old foes will schuffle on the
diamond tomorrow afternoon when
Bucknel College faces Georgetown
University at o'clock on the Hill
top field. Smouldering embers of
past battles will light afresh as
these arch enemies have oft clashed
in baseball, basketball and football
over a span of years. with an oc-
casionaI interlude.
Unknown is the caliber of the visit
ing collegians from Pennsylva mia,
but If similar to the patterns OF
other years, then Georgetown is due
for a warm session as Bucknell has
turned out some magnificent base
ball mines. It is also the alma mater
of Christy Mathewson and others
who later scaled the jagged cliffs
leading to the major leagues.
Captain Frank Gillespie will
go to the hiIIOck in an effort
to turn back the Bucknen crew.
1t win be GiIlespie's first ap-
uearance in the box this year
and he desires to step off with
a victory. Tommy Phelan will
probably don the catching equip
ment.
Coach Larry Kopf hasn't decided
whether Bobby Nork or Bucky
O'Neil will get the third base as
signment. O'Neil started at the hot
corner in the games against Spring
field though Nork relived him in
Tuesdays contest.
Coach Charlie Moran and his
Catholic University troupe departed
at noon today for Lexington, Va,
where the Cardinals tomorrow are
to begin their 1928 diamond activi-
ties against Washington and Lee.
The team also faces Virginia Mill
tary Institute Saturday IN Lexing-

Gioffre in the outfield.

Murray, the sand of good old

Muddy RueI made his first ap-
pearance in the lineup when he
relieved Moon" McMullen in the
seventh. Up once, he smashed one
of his stereotyped liners over Schu
bIe's head for a single and looked
good behind the bat, though he did
no pegging.
Big Jack Kloza found smart pitch
ing rather bit too much for him.
He singled to right center in the
opening frame, and then famed
three times in succession. However,
he turned in the brightest fielding
bit Of the day when he stole
triple away from Wally Roettger in
the sixth with a brilliant running
one-handed catch of his long drive.
The Washington pitchers are
not yet quite ready. Lisenbee

against the Cardinals. but he
wavered in the sixth and away

three hits and KlOza's error al
lowed the Cards to cash in for
their two runs.
Fred Marberry is expected 70 face
the minor leaguers here today.
Whatever he does won't be I'M
aortant because of the class of the
opposition. The big fellow needs
