WEAK ARMS ARE BETTER

New York. April 9.--GTp-The same
old target will be In position ready
for the heavy firing when the Ameri-
can league season opens April is.
In other words. the Yankees ap-
parently are the team the rest OF the
Junior loop clubs will have to shoot
at again this year.
When Miller Higgins began expert

new hopes for q break. But Mark
Koenig and Leo Durocher seem to
have mastered their new positions at
third and short. respectively. thus CIV
ing Huggins a perfect rating on an
ether big test.
Hope Yanks Crack
Since tho only hope for tho re-
maindcr OF the Junior loop teams Is
for the Yankee machine to crack
some observers also have sought to
pitk on the throwing arms OF Second
Bascman Tony Lazzeri and. Pitcher
Herb Pennock as weak parts. Yet both
E.ayer5 declare their. wings to be
ready for duty.
The rest Of the field in the Ameri-
can league represents wide variety
Of changes over last year. with the ex-
Ception of the Athletics and Browns.
Connie Mack has the same squad that
rallied brilliantly to crowd the YAM
KEGS In the closing days Of the 1928
race, and Dan HoTley plans to use
his 1923 lineup unless one Of pair Of
rookie third basemen beats Frank
O'Rourkc out of the third base post.
There has been much more activity
in the way OF trades and purchases at
Washington, Boston. Chicago. Cleve-
land and Detroit. Washington has a
new manager in Walter johnson, q
new third baseman in Buddy Myer,
and also has Stuffy Stewart, formerly
of Birmingham, at second base to re-
place Bucky Harris.
Cleveland Garden Strong
Cleveland has concentrated on new
outfield strength, buying Porter and
Averill from the minors and getting
Bib Falk by trade. Detroit, with Bucky
Harris at the helm, has rookie. Dale
Alexander. at first, Roy Johnson, an
other firSt-year man. in the outfield
and makeshift keystone arrange
ment that may finally draw Harris
into service as player manager.
The White Sox are counting on
Autrey, young catcher obtained
from Cleveland in the Kamm deal, for
needed reserve strength behind the
bat, and have two recruits-Johnny
Kerr and Art Shires-at second and
first respectively.
Boston. which received five Wash
ington players for Buddy Myer. has
these and other new men to look to
for help. Bigelow, who batted around
400 for Birmingham In the Southern
league, has been showing promise
both at bat and afield and may sup
ply that old punch which Bill Carri-
gan looked for In vain last year.
