ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Marct
9.-R)-Babe Ruth and Lou Geh'
rig are enjoying their usual robust
health and the New York Yankee:
are ready to start another queSI
for baseball supremacy.
1t matters little in the camp o.
the world champions that an un-
tried third baseman will protect &
| corner of the infield. Two pitchers
are trying to regain their misplaced
cunning. Ruth and Gehrig are II
good health and spirits. The Yam
KEGS believe that when longer hits
are made, Babe and Lou will make
them.
Mark Koenig, who has been q
Shortstop most of his baseball life
has succeeded Joe Dugan at third
base, with shortStop falling to Lyn
Larry, sensational Pacific Coast re-
cruit. Larry promises to join the
small class OF players able to live
up to advance notices and big price
tags.
Tony'S Arm Better
In the limited scope permitted by
Hug" Tony LaZzerie, who suffer-
ed from a lame arm last season, has
thrown we'll enough although no &C
casion has happened calling for him
to bear down" on his repaired arm.
Leo Durocher, a great fielder in any
league, and Gene Robertson, better
as a hitter than a fielder, stand
subject to call without notice. Lou
Gehrig has a first base assistant
in the person Of the veteran, George
Burns.
The Yankees, always well forti-
fled in the outfield, have won an
even greater surplus of talent which
may prove embarrassing when the
time comes to clear the decks to a
working basis. Ruth, Combs and
Meusel, Of course will get first c.
and burst and Paschal, able re-
serves, have been joined by Sam
Byrd and Elias Funk, good enough
to qualify as underStudieS.
The catching staff also presents
a contest with Arndt and JorgenS,
an Oklahoma City recruit, fighting
energetically for a place. Bengough,
Dickey and Grabowski IRE WearerS
of service stripes.
Herb Pennock and Wiley Moore,
pitching casualties Of 1923, look all
right and feel all right, but the ex-
tent to which their ailing arms
have been re~juvenated can be told
only under fire.
Waite Hoyt and George Pipgras
will take up where they left off last
year and Tom Zachary, a bulwark
in the closing days Of the campaign
seems to grow younger with the
passing of the years.
Ed Wells, a left handler with an
abundance Of ammunition, has an
excellent chance OF sticking after a
tour Of duty in the Southern ASSo-
citation.
Henry johnson, Fred Heimach
and MyleS Thomas are back again
as is Al Shealy who started with
the Yanks and finished with st.
Paul. Fay Thomas, the former
Giant, is bidding for a place. Of
the younger candidates Roy Sherid,
seems to have a slight advantage.
He prepped at Montreal with con-
SplcuOuS success.

BY LIEUTENANT HAROLD
BROMLEY

BURBANK. Cal. July 17.-Scien-
tiflc and mechanical progress Of the
last two years have made it possible
for a pilot 10 undertake alone a
longer nonstop fight than could
have been possible in 1927 when
Lirdbergh made his lone fight
across the Atlantic.
It is With the assurance that my
mechanical and navigational prob
lens hare been solved that will
hop off in a few weeks from Tacoma,
Wash, for Toxic. Japan-4.762 miles
vest.
am taking every safety provision
possible. that no element Of the
fight will be left to chance. These
take form not only III frequent in
spections of the plane during its
final assembly. but also in careful
consideration OF the weather and
preparations TO carry radio appara-
tus that will function under any
conditions.
In Open Cockpit
My plane will be a special low
wing Lockheed. I will sit near the
tail in an open cockpit. I decided
on a lowing Job for several rea-
sons. one of the most important be-
ing the added lift it will give when
taking off with my heavy load.
The plane will be powered with
a Wasp 425-horsepoTer engine. This
engine is uper-inspected." That
means every bit of metal in the
motor has been miscroscopically ex-
amined. and that no flaws will de-
velop in it during the fight.
In fact. the engine twice vas SUI
per-inspected. Following the first,
it was torn down and again COM
pletely inspected with microscopes.
Prior to taking off, the plane will
be loaded progressively and tested
from dry lake beds near here. On
each take-off the length of run and
time will be measured. wind direc-
ton and altitude being taken into
consideration.
Will Fly Alone
Thus ne can determine exactly
what load the plane can lift at Sc
attic under given wind conditions.
In considering the Tacoma Toxic
fight I decided to fly alone when ]
learned 1 could use the system of
navigation devised by Commodore
P. V. H. Weems Of the navy. In
nractice I have determined my DO
sition at night in forty -eight sec
ondSi
Thus can handle the bubble
sextant and do my calculating with
one hand while flying the ship With
the other.
Trip In IS Hours
When I take off the plane will
have in her tanks approximately
ss5 gallons Of gasoline and 80 gal
ions of oil. With the special N. A.
c. A. cowling, the plane should
cruise at least $50 miles an hour.
On that basis and assuming
fairly favorable flying weather, the
fight should be completed IN not
more than thirty live hours. OF
which only three and one-half
hours will be flown in darkness.
I will follow the great circle
route along the Aleutian chain OF
islands. This will carry me near
five Russian and American radio
stations.
