T\AMPA, Fla, March IL. - The
Cincinnati Reds may be all
dressed UP and nowhere to go
so far as the National Leagues
pennant race this year is concerned,
but Col Daniel Philip Howley has hopes
that his shake-up will show some sur
prising results.
These hopes are not without founda-
ton. The manager of the Reds has
landed q prospective star in First Base
man Mickey Heath to round out a
rapid-fire infleld. He has made over
more punch. His pitching prospects,
with an outstanding star in Red Lucas,
look good. He has an ace catcher in
Clyde Sukeforth, also a hard hitter.
Frankly, don't know where we will
wind up In this race" said Howley.
You can't find a tougher set of clubs
than our league has. That goes all
the way down the list. Maybe well
be lucky to stay out Of last place.
But this club Is going TO go places
and do things with lot Of good young
ball players. Well hustle whether we
are able to show the punch or not"
while the others wage battle royal,
will present more new faces than any
other club in the league.
Makes New Infield.
Howley broke up the best double play
combination in the majors when he let
Hughey Crttz go to the Giants and
benched Horace Ford, but he has put
together another brilliant defensive
pair in Tony Cuccinello, at second base,
and Leo Durocher at short. They pulled
fiye double plays yesterday for a fash
tonable audience, including Commits
the National League.
Cuccinello also is the most consistently
long hitter on the club. He was going
at close TO a 400 clip toward the end
OF 1880 and has been assigned to TIE
cl:an-up position.
The infield will start with Heath, the
Hollywood recruit, on first and Jersey
Joe Strip on third. Both can hit. The
reserves are Ford, Sigafoos and Dresser.
Handsome Harry Heilmann. the old
American League batting champion,
will be welcomed for outfield duty any
time he RECEIVERS from an ailment of tho
right arm. So far however. the signs
have pointed to the end of Helmann's S
great career.
Howley,s number one outfield .combi-
nation now is composed of Gene Moore,
the Dallas rookie. in right; Nick Cullop,
the American Association home run
king, in center; Walter Roettger, OBJ
tanned from the Giants, in left. Ray

go SEEN AS BEST
SINCE JACK GENE
=
American Should Have Edge
Up to Tenth, Champion
Gains Thereafter. !:
BY ALAN GOULD.
Associated Press apoNtH FdjtoY.


THE experts who glimpsed the
comparative fistic ability OF
i Young Stribling and Max
Schme' ng in the ring at
Miami are by no means in agree
ment on what to expect when
these two agile young men trade
wallops for the-world heavyweight
championship in June, probably
at Chicago.
The South is solid for Stribling,
whether or not 1t is still solidly Demo-
cratic. The pride of Georgia is as big
a hero to the kids and most of the
older fans in Dixie as Jack Dempsey
ever was in other parts, but the critics
like Schmeling too.
This departments feeling is that the
Stribling- -Schmeling is as good a match
as the heavyweight division has had
since the days of the Dempsey Tunney
rivalry, that Stribling should be the
favorite inside 10 rounds and
Schmeling's chances improved over q
longer route.
Schmeling is an earnest young man
Of 25. who has developed himself with
HluCH SeIlOuSneSS tCOupieQ Win some
breaks) as first-rate heavyweight.
The German has great confidence In
his endurance as well as his punching
powers and ability to adapt himself
successfully to the varying styles Of
opponents. He studied and copied
Dempsey's stun. He keeps himself con-
stantly in good condition.
He doesn't drink beer even when in
his own country. He prefers milk for
q beverage, the movies for amusement.
Golf has an attraction for him, but he
admits he isn't 50 good and broke 100
only once-in Germany.
Max thinks Camera soft" by COM
parison with Stribling. The German
saw ponderous Primo knocked out in
Leipzig by an obscure heavyweight and
doesn't think Camera can take it.
Stribling likewise is a somewhat seri-
Gus youth. although he has been in the
heavyweight fistic business long enough
to seem a veteran. "W. L." is a more
nervous type than Schmeling. He ex-
pends energy In various ways outside
the prize ring. He Is particularly keen
about aviation, a licensed pilot and q
good one.
After some persuasion he took Ed
Danforth of the Atlanta Constitution
and Joe williams OF the New York
World Telegram for a flight over Miami.
These earnest young journalists still
are talking about the way Willie the
Strib does q vertical turn.
II Stribling can handle Schmeling as
cleverly as he does the "stick'' of an
airplane, he viii be the next heavy
weight champion.

TRAINING-CAMP gossip at this
stage of the major league base
ball campaigns may not mean
much, but nevertheless Frank
Watt, who grew up on local sandlots,
is conceded fine chance to string
along with. the Philadelphia Nationals.
A queer thing about Frank is that
he is not generally known around here.
True, he has had two trials with De-
troit and spent year or so in the
Texas League, but even the majority
Of the older sandlot sages fail to re-
member some of the ssndlot feats of
this member Of the family Of five base
ball Watts.
Frank had plenty of talent when he
pitched for the Mohawks and Dread
naughts. What he lacked was color.
Frank was doing some OF his best
pitching about the time Walter Beall
was putting base balls into tail spins.
Walter had color-and talent, too.
Walter had great curve, Frank de-
pended mostly on q fast ball and
Perhaps Watts control may have
paled him somewhat. There wes sonle-
thing In the way Beall would wild
pitch then follow with a bewildering
sweep making the batsman look fool
isf. that made fans look twice.
The eyes of Wasllington's sandlot
fans were more or less focused on
Beall. even after he went to Rochester
and thence to the Yankees. Watt was
bought by Detroit, had two trials with
the Tigers, developed a sore arm in the
Texas League and bobbed up again this
season with the PhiIlies. while many
fans back home puzzled, "Watt2 ] don't
