Torrid play marked the contest
from start to finish. In the second

SO seriously injured that he was

With the loss of their goalie, the

Associated Press Sports Writer
New York, April 9.-tR)-Nation-
al League pennant hopes, rising like
sap in the spring, cover more terri
tory this year than has been the
case in recent seasons. Seven clubs
sit up and evince interest at the
mere mention Of the championship.
Only - points separated the
first and third place clubs last year
and the training period has left no
suggestion that the race this year
will be any less contested.
The first division clubs of last
season, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, New
York and Chicago have undergone
striking changes during the idle
baseball months. The Pirates and
Cubs claim added strength through
an exchange Of talent, the Cardi-
nails expect to be more formidable
on account of improved physical
condition of several stars and the
Giants have replaced one of the
games greatest hitters with a
youngster, who will play second
base where Rogers Hornsby worked
in 1927.
Has Strongest Outfield
The addition of Hazen Cuyler to
Chicago's outfield has converted Joe
McCarthy's outer trio into one of
the strongest in the game at the
same time, "Sparty" Adams is
credited with having "made" the
Pittsburgh infield. St. Louis sees
O'Farrell, Thevenow, Blades and
Rhem in much better shape to give
their best efforts.
The Giants present problem.
Hornsby has gone to Boston and
Grimes to Pittsburgh. Andy Cohen
has been given the second base as
signment and must sink or swim
around it. The other assets are
Frank Hogan, a promising young
catcher; Frank O'Doul, a hard hit
ting outfielder; and several brilliant
young pitchers, Bill Walker, a Dem
yer lefthander, leading the list.
Reds Are Optimistic
Three clubs who were in the Sec
ond division hope for better things
and even vision a pennant at the
end of the season. Cincinnati has
lost Pete Donohue, an able pitcher
but return to winning form of
AdOlfo Luque, the Cuban star, has
encouraged Jack Hendricks and his
aides. The Reds think George
Kelly, much improved in health,
will do some fancy first basing and
hitting.
Boston's Braves, bolstered by
Hornsby at second and Lester Bell
at third, expect to display more
punch. The Braves have picked up
Eddie Brandt, lefthanded pitcher
who seems to have the goods.
Brooklyn has drawn on Boston
for Dave Bancroft, who can still
! play shortstop and hit; and Cincin-
natl has contributed Rube Bressler
to the outfield. Hendrick and Her
man, former first basemen, have
been converted into outfielders and
the minor leagues have sent Bison
cite. Riconda and Freigau to lend
hand in the infield with Tyson to
help in the outfield.
The Phillies must undergo a per-
iod of reconstruction before they
can challenge their fellows. A good
start was made in getting Bill
Kelley for first base, Arthur Whit
ney at third and Bill Deitrick, an
infielder-outfielder.

their best in the two dashes, the

here and there, which combined with
the great lead taken in the distance
events, were enough to give them
victory.

Following the Identification the
charge of attempted assault was
placed against CLANCY. Standing
before CLANCY, the little girl re-
peated her charges against him.
Then she broke down and cried.

CLANCY, who denied the charges,
will be arraigned in court tomorrow

The name and address of the
girl Is omitted by The Wash

driven by CLANCY and recognizing
him from the description placed him
under arrest and brought him to

of the alleged attempted assault
while investigating a theft of
jewelry valued at $500 from an

questioned her.
According to Wilson, the child adj
mitted taking the jewelry and told
him where 1t could be found.

calmly for the patrol which was TO
