Flown by a metal robot, which took
over the controls as soon as the plane
attained flying altitude, q big Army tri-
motored Ford transport airplane is fly
ing to the National Capital from Wright
Field, Dayton, Ohio. The flight is a
test of the mechanical pilot, developed
after years of research work by pri-
vate interests and the Army Air Corps.
The robot has proven its ability as
pilot in more than SO hours of flight
and is hailed by officers of the Army
Air Corps as one of the most promising
developments since the World War.
All the pilot needs to do, after taking
the plane off the field, is to set it on
its course and put the robot in opera
ton. The mechanical pilot then holds
the plane straight and level, regardless
of fog, rain or darkness.
The big plane with its metal man at
the controls, left Wright Field at noon
and should arrive at Boiling Field at
$3.50 PM, the War Department has
been informed. The robot will man the
controls during the entire 500-mile
flight, except for the take-off and
landing.

HIGH SQUAD HAS
 BRIGHT PROSPECTS
Several Likely Looking Recruits
 Among 40 Candidates

Several likely looking candidates are among the squad of more than 4O high school baseball prospects, that are reporting for practice at Willow Brook park and with the ad- dition Of the veterans of last year Coach George NJ. Cassidy is hopeful of successful season.
 Although he is at present in doubt as 10 what schedule he will follow. he believes that if the pitching staff comes through in the form expected, he should have d successful season. Never before has the coach started q season with as formidable a pitch ing staff.
 He has Joe Potts, mainstay Of last years team and "Hermy' Schmarr, young pitcher who showed plenty Of stuff III the amateur ranks last year. Hope is being held that stan ley Partyka, a third member of the staff. will have recovered from q nand aiment sufficiently 10 allow him 10 take his turn on the mound. Potts ana Schmarr are left handlers.
 Captain Bill Mangan will catch this year. Others who are trying for inteld places are Joe Bogdan- ski who may hold down third base, and Mike Grip who is making a try for second base. II is probable that when the pitchers are not working. they will be used either in the out field or infield places. Among the new men who are being groomed for an infield jCb is Flood Hho will be a converted catcher. Billy Ross. an outlielder. is showing good form.

YANKEE MENACE STILL
 SHADES AMERICAN LOOP
League Launches Tomorrow What Looks Like One Sided Championship Race-Babe Ruth and Mates Have Won Pennant Three Straight Years and Six Times in Eight Seas0ns-Team Managers Take Ex- ception to Experts and Predict Close Battle to End

Chicago, April IS Cp-With tho
 Yankee menace still casting its bulky shadow across the pennant horizon and chilling interest. tho American league tomorrow launches what looks like to be just another one sided championship race.
 Three years straight six times in eight years have Babe Ruth and his
 Yankee mates blasted their way to the championship. American league officials and rival club owners and managers, who admit they and tho
 box office receipts are a bit weary of this prolongeL Yankee domina. tion. dispute the "experts' by pre-. dieting a tight race up to the last game in October. It is generally to Philadelphia. the team that gave the Yankees a scare last year: St. Louis. combination of fair hitting strength and great defensive power; Washington. great offensive team with Walter Johnson at it's helm. and Detroit with several heavy hit. ters and the brain of Bucky Harris. that experts look for breakers in New York's pennant surge. Tho other entries-Chicago's weak hit. ting, cratic fielding White Sox. Cleveland's mysterious Indians and Boston's mediocre team, are not ex. pected to cause much trouble. The piece de resistance of tomor. rows fourgame menu will be tho clash between Philadelphia and Washington at the capital. President
 Herbert Hoover is expected to start
 hostilities. by throwing out the first ball. Official Washington and Presi- dent F.. s. Barnard of the American league will attend the contest.
 Lefty" Grove probably will get Philadelphias pitching assignment. heinz opposed by the veteran, Sad Sam" Jones.
 Waite Hoyt always has been lucky star for Miller Huggins and the Yankees, so he has been chosen for mound duty against the Boston
 Red Sox at New York. Charley Ruff fing or Jack Russell are the probable starting pitchers for Boston. which will have newcomers in it's infield.
 Baseball Commissioner K. M. Lan- dis and another baseball hungry crowd will watch that conflict.
 Upset by injuries during it's un. successful training season. Detroit's starting lineup and pitcher were somewhat of a mystery. The Tigers open their campaign at Cleveland. Joe Shaute is expected to draw l Cleveland's initial mound assign. ment.
 The White SoX- Browns opener at St. Louis may see mound duel be- tween Alphone Thomas and Sam Gray Of St. Louis.

FANS GIVE CUBS
 GREAT RECEPTION
Followers Of Chicago Team
 Vision PenDant This Season

Chicago, April 15 (UP)-The Chi cago Cubs, with their big artillery of Hornsby, Wilson. Cuyler and Ste phenson came home today to an .n- thusiastic reception, given by fam dom which had visions of the city's first National league pennant since 1918.
 Spurred by the great exhibition showing of the Cubs, the fans were convinced that Manager Joe Me- Carthy and his team strengthened by the addition of Rogers Hornsby, could battle their way to the top.
 Another optimistic point was the manner in which Hack Wilson, cen- ter fielder has been hitting the ball in spring games. Hack has been we'll above the 400 mark and this hitting strength, combined with that of Cuyler, Stephenson and Hornsbv gives the Cubs one of the greatest Wrecking crews in the game. Fac ing these four in row IS task no pitcher will relish.
 This sprinr, the Cubs won 2b games. lost five and tied one. To date, they have shown hitting, field ing. pitching, base-running and everything else good team needs.
 Mccarthy was worried for time about the pitching but in the past two weeks the hurlers have turned the worry into optimism. At Kansas City yesterday, Guy Bush allowed the Blues two singles in six innings and Mike CNcngros, who comes back for another big league chance, en- tered the game in the seventh and struck out the side. The Cubs won 90
 Third base has been looked upon as a possible weakness but Me Carthy believes that Beck now can fill the job acceptably, Gabby Hart nett. star catcher. has had some trouble with his arm but he was ex- pected to be in shape soon. Mike Gonzales will handle the catching, meanwhile.
 The present lineup follows: English. ss; Beck, 3b: Cuyler, If; Hornsby. 2b; Wilson, cf; Stephenson, If: Grimm. 1b: Gonzales and Hart nett, catchers. Root. Bush, Malone. Blake, Carlson and Nehf were "N- pected to carry most of the pitching burden.
 Since Nehf is the only left handler in the group it is probable th1t Cvengros. who has been up before with the White Sox and Pittsburgh, will get every chance to make the grade. Another left-hander would round out the staff nicely and little Mike is expected 10 fill the bill.
 Mccarthy expects to use either Root or Malone in the opener against Pittsburgh tomorrow, while Grimes or kremer were looked upon as probable Pirate hurlers. Approximately 5o,o00 persons Will see the opening game.
