BY BRIAN BELL,

NEW YORK, April Base ball,
about to start another season, lacks a
brisk trading mart to complete its
equipment A few exchanges would
make for a more equitable distribution
OF talent. Some clubs are long on out
fielders, while others have surplus OF
infielders Pitchers and catchers are
assembled in convention in some cities
and lack quorum In others.
The trades may not materialize, per-
hapS because owners and managers are
a suspicious lot and prone to Jump at
conclusions, one of the most persistent
being that If rival Is willing to trade
a player there must be something
wrong with him.
The first-base situation Is especially
acute. Two clubs, one in each league
are oyerstocked. Washington has George
Sisler and Joe Judge, and could be
happy with either II the other charmcs
were away. Cincinnati has George
Kelly and Wally Pipp, and has not yet
been able to figure way to play them
both On the bag at the same time.
In the meantime Cleveland is won
dering whether George Burns will apply

and Connie Mack shudders when Joe
Hauser makes quick starts on a knee
that was once very bad. In the Ma
tional Brooklyn and Philadelphia are
starting the season at first base with
promoted minor leaguers who have yet
to win their spurs in the majors. Bos-
ton Is turning the assignment over to

The Giants have seven outnelders. II

The Yankees have the place all clut-
tered up with infielders, but no under
study for Lou Gehrig letter perfect in
the part.
The st. Louis Browns are woefully
shy on outfielders, so desperate that
before the season gets under way, Dan
Howley may be found on corner with
tin cup, hoping against hope that
ny chaser may be dropped In. The
Browns, however, are not in the best
position to talk trade as they need
all the players they have
Detroit has infielders almost beyond
the dreams Of avarice and would cheer
fully part with one for another pitcher
who could win for the Tigers.
Only the Athletics, Cardinals and the
Robins may be regarded as satisfied
With their pitching stats Ali the 9TH
ers would jump at the chance TO part
with valuable considerations for add
tional first-class pitching strength.
II the trading mart could function
on a wholesale scale. some interesting
combinations might be worked out
Boston could take Brooklyn's battery
electives and be practically assured OF
one-two-three place. This goes for
al the other National League clubs,
and Pittsburgh, with the Brooklyn
catchers alone transferred to Forbes
Field. would be regarded by many ex-
perts as "in" before the race starts.
The great equalization in base bail,
however. will not come this year, and In
many cases the rich will continue TO
grow richer as the poor get poorer.

Watch the st. Louis Browns and the

This is the advice of President Z. s.
Barnard of the American League, who

''The Browns have a group OF new
veterans that will be playing ball every
minute under a new management,
while the Detroit Tigers have coterie
of batsmen who are bound to provide
trouble" Barnard said.
Fans should not worry over the poor
training season showing Of the New
York Yankees, Barnard added, as they
have not yet hit their stride. They
know how to step up TO the plate and
swing and that is what gave them the
pennant last year, together with some
good pitching"
