MCCARTHY GETS
 GOOD PITCHING
Manager of Chicago Cubs Has
 No Fear Of Eastern Invasion

Chicago April 70 ,UPl-Joe Mo Carthy's smile which until a few days ago turned into seriousness at the mere mention Of pitching. spread into ar out-and- out grin today as the Cubs manager talked of tn. hurling performances exhibited by his regulars in the first four games.
 Before the season began. the one if which the experts injected into NcCarthy's pennant chances hinged on pitching. So Joe couldn't hold back the grIn as he reflected that not once in the four games has ore Of the pitchers allowed opposing bat tors 10 gel entirely out of hand.
 Charley Root lost the opener de- spite good hurllng A first inning niisp.ay helped to give the veteran Burleigh Grimes ot the Pirates three runs to work on and win 4-3.
 Then Pat Malone kept the Pirates eating out Of his hand in the sec ond game while the Cubs ''Nrecklrg crew. scored enough runs to win seNera! ball games.
 Sheriff Blake followed this with a four hit performance against Pitts hurgh and Guy Bush set the Cardi- nals down with three hits while the Chicago hitters banged out a 40 victory yesterday.
 And all that in weather which IS supposed 10 be anything but con- duciNe 10 good pitching "Whatl they do when il gets warm cnoucn for their arms to get hot" was the cry Of fans today
 McCarthy's worries were further frightened by the showing Of his ''wreckers -Hornsby, Wilson, Guy Icy and Stsphenson. While the pitchers were holding off the opposl- ton, these four slammed the ball for a combined average ot AZ, HUrnsby's average today was .5S3,
 The great showing even has gotten under the skin of Hornsby, who has been considered rather blase per hits i'll four 1rys yesterday he Was btIiHl@S llkc youusSter.
 That the fans rallied to the cause Was shown yesterday when 5l.tgu- tn. largest e oWd which ever Sd W he CGbs play-lammed into Wrie- ley held, ana oyer the loop tod " fine talk was all Of what the CuLS are gong to do on their eastern ln- >aslon which starts "Wednesday and l@sls until May IT.
 Mccarthy knows he has the hlt- ters and he is confident that tEe pitchers will outshine the sluggcrs criticism Of the Cubs hurletS makes me laugh" he said. T don { 1 believe any club in the past ten years has had a better star. There's Root. Carlson. Blake, Malone and Bush. Art Nehf will be set in anoth'r week Backing them up are I.autonbacher and Horne. two youngsters who look plenty good" Jo" believes the first eastern trip will sond the Cubs back home lead ing the l"aguo Were 2 ting the pitching and l guess there's nobnlv wanting to deny wen get the runs, ' he said

Back 10 the front rank of the shtw,igEts comes the hard-hiitns Billy Wallace.
 His recent victory over Tommy Grogan in Detroit puts him neck and neck with Ray Miller in the chase for chance 10 fight the champion sammy Mandcli.
 Over year ago Billy stood in the same spot he enjoys today. but mls fortune, in the shape of ring inJur- ies. forced him down in the standing The courage and determination Billy displayed in fighting back 10 his present position have won him as much popularity as has any tighter in the ring today.
 Billy first attracted national attcn- ton with a knockout over Louis Kid kaplan. former fea1herWelg cham pion, in the kids first battle as a Hghtle. Then came more knockout& and wins over good men and finally inc big money of Madison Square Garden.
 Whipping Sid Ferris. although the decision went against him, added to his fame.
 Next q fight with Jimmy McLar- min. who at that tirlo was making his bid fer the lightweight cham pionship. and Billy started on the downward grade. Against McLarnin. Billy broke his right hand and lost the decision.
 A long layoff followed and when he returned to the wars, indifferent lights with mediocre opponents callS- ed the word to go around that Wa! lace was through. But Billy fooled tEcm. Slowly but surely he regain ed his old form. Knockout over Jackie Pilkington, Joe Nedill and Mickey Chapin were steps on the comeback traIl.
 If the champion defends his title this summer, it's q good bet that Wallace will be in there with him.
