 New York, April 10 Lp - New York's Yankees laughed with the rest of the world last October when the Athletics, behind the dazzling work of Howard Ehmkc, smearcd the Cubs in the world series open CT.
 But will the Yankees do any laughing after the 1930 opener at Philadelphia, Tuesday, April l5?
 New York faces tho As in that game and it doesn't look like a bad choice to name Howard J. Ehmkc as the starting hurler for the Mack men.
 Ehmke's selection seems more ccr- tain each day as the spring eXhibi- ton games go by without Howard throwing more than a few balls in batting practice.
 The veteran side arm finger indi- cated that he might like to retire after his classic exhibition against the Cubs. but the fatherly Connie Mack persuaded him to stick. Manager Mack said then he eX- 1 pected to use Ehmke to work in a mighty few ball games; that he probably wouldn't start him oftener than every two weeks but that he figured he would be worth ten or twelve victories to the club in l9S0. Ehmke pitched in only II games l in 1920: that is outside of his two world series appearances. For the regular season his record was 55 in- nings pitched and seven games won and two lost. His earned run aver i age was 3.44.
 l Howard disappeared from the box scores late in the summer and was not heard from again until the day before the series when one or two 1 baseball experts wrote, in whisper i ing sort of way that Ehmke might | be the As choice to open against the Cubs.
 l Where there were faint whispers i S4 hours before. there was thun- derous acclaim the day Of the first game when the G5 year old Ehmkc pitching like Mathewson famed B of the fence bustin' Cubs and beat them to 1.
 They say it's rest that Ehmhc needs. Well he hasn't pitched in c ball game since last October, SC that fact alone may justify the guess that Philadelphia opening day battery, ladies and gentlemen will be:
