 New York, Aug. 31 Rt-Instead of standing around wrinGing their hands about the 1929 pennant tias- co, major league managers are working overtime in an effort to strengthen their clubs for 1880.
 So if the material is available in the clubs favorite hunting grounds, some of the glaring weaknesses re- vealed during the 1929 campaign will be corrected.
 Four of the Is clubs are badly in need of new shortstops.
 The Braves will have to have one to replace Rabbit Maranville, who will be a manager next year. Dave Bancroft's aging arm and legs put Brooklyn in the mar ket for new man. Joe Boley's bad throwing arm is causing Connie Mack to look around for help, while the Soluble Richardson Westlins combination at Detroit has brought the Tigers enough punishment in one season to last them several years.
 The punch-d drunk Yankees will have to have a pair of pitchers and a reserve outfelder to take Byrd $ place when he moves into Meusel' g position.
 McGraw's Giants need two pitch CTS. an outtielder and a second baseman.
 Brooklyn wants, in addition 10 the shortstop, a second baseman to help stop that treacherous leak in the middle of it's inner defense.
 The Braves want d shortstop and an outfielder
 Bill Carrigan's Red SoX must have a pair of slugging outfelders if they expect to get out of the eel lar.
 Pitching is the Phllies' greatest need
 Cincinnati craves some batting punch and a pitcher or two to re- place the aged Luque and RiXey.
 Pittsburgh wants a second base man and new pitching strength which it probably will be able 10 get if the Paul Waner deal goes through.
 Cleveland is short on catching strength.
 Washington is in the market for first baSeman
 The White Sox could use q pair of pitchers, a second baseman and sluSging outtielder or two.
 The Cubs only pronounced weak ness is in the catching department
 Detroit is after a shortstop and might become pennant threat with this and pair of winning pitchers.
 Dan HoWley's Browns need har- mony. They seem to have the play ing strength
