PLACES WALBERG,
MCDONALD ON LIST
Asserts Rube Is Right This
Year and That Rookie
Will Deliver.
BY EDWARD ]. NEIL,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n Jew YORK April 81 tRy.-There
M is enc young man on the roster
~ of the world champion Phila-
delphia Athletics who knows
considerable about their pitching staff.
Most every day he's in there catching
one or the other of Connie Macks
hurlers. Here's what Mickey Cochrane
has to say about them:
"A two-man staff, Ell? Well, now let
me tell you something.
For the first time In a couple of
years RUDE Walberg is right again. And
when he's right he's as tough a man
to hit as there is in base ball Ask
the Yankees who hit against him last
Sunday.
THE RUDE got away to a bad start
last year. He got to shooting those
left-hand slants of his too much from
the side. He got discouraged.
Now all of a sudden he's back
again. RUDE Is shooting them in there
straight overland and he's great. His
curve is a corker and his speed is sec
ond only to Lefty Groves and George
Earnshaw's. Watch him this season.
He'll win all year for u.s.
Praise for Mcdonald.
Having disposed of one of Connie
Mack's chief problems, a third starting
pitcher, Mickey went on to straighten
out the situation even further. He
reached right down and came I'D with
a No. man for the staff.
This fellow Is Hank Mcdonald, the
big youngster from the Pacific Coast. +"
said Mickey. Hes tall and strong and
weighs about 100. He should have
beaten Washington in his first start,
but he got some tough breaks. He'll
win ball games for us. and so will LEROY
Mahafey. Roy's a cinch against some
clubs. Bill Shores is hurt right now,
but he's been threatening for q long
time, and this may be his year, too.
"Two-man staff, Ell? Why, Lefty
Grove is pitching staff all by himself.
That game he lost to Washington Sat-
urday was a heart-breaker. They only
got five hits. He's better than ever this
year. George Earnshaw always starts
slow, but they won't be beating him
after June.
"I figure Grove and Earnshaw VIII
win so games between them. Walberg
will win 20, and Mcdonald is good for
Is. That doesn't leave many for Ma
haffey and Shores to get chance at
Two-man pitching staff, Ell?
Thinks Well Of Mats.
1.-THE first three months of this sea-
son will be toughest for US. Washington
has q whale of a ball club. Bump
Hadley pitched better against us than
I've ever seen him before. Joe Cronin' s
the best shortstop in our league. They've
got speed and balanced power. Every
ones been saying for years that they
were too old club to keep going. But
they keep going.
1.-THE Yankees are always dangerous.
They have amazing power. One day
you'll hold Ruth and Gehrig even and
Lazzeri and Larry will hit everything.
The next day you stop them and[some
one else breaks out in rash of hits.
On paper they're going TO need pitching,
though.
you've got to figure Cleveland In,
too. In fact you've got to figure all Of
them in until August You can't ever tell
where the breaks are going to go. But
after August-well, it looks like the AS
again to me-"

ROBINS AND REDS
BREAK THE ICE
Show That There Are Eight
Clubs in League-Ruth
Gets Two Homers.
BY GAYLE TALBOT, Jr.

TINE National League, it seems, Is
to have an eight-club race after
all. Brooklyn and Cincinnati,
after taking it on their respective
chins with alarming regularity since
opening day, finally have broken into
the winners circle.
Brooklyn fandom, possibly the most
rabid in either major league, feels GER
tain the Robins have gotten lot of
bad base ball out of their system early
and are ready now to romp right on
to the flag. Cincinnati enthusiasts have
harbored no pennant hopes to speak of,
but they are happy to see Col. Howley S
charges get a start, even If from the
bottom.
Come Out Of Trance.
Both clubs chose yesterday TO come
out of their five-day trance. Brook
these several days, came to life and
blasted a 10to-5 victory over four
Philadelphia pitchers. Every Robin
joined in the fun, with lombard, big
rookie catcher leading the way with
a pair of doubles and a single. Joe
Shaute kept IL Philly hits strung out.
Nick Cullop former American Asso-
citation home-run king, led the Reds
into the light. His circuit drive of
Meme with two on beat the Pittsburgh
Pirates, z to S. Red Lucas held the
Pirates to eight hits.
Meantime, the st. Louis Cardinals
took over the undisputed leadership by
downing the Chicago Cubs, 3 to 2, Bur-
leigh Grimes besting Bob Smith and
Guy Bush in a mound duel. Jim Bot
tomley's homer in the sixth provided
the difference"
The New York Giants and Boston
Braves battled their way into a tie for
second place by dividing their Patriots
day double-header. Rookie John Berry
pitched McGraw's clan to 4to-3 win
in the morning, aided by Freddie Lind
strom's home run, but the Braves came
back with a 1-to-0 verdict later in the
day. Seibold finally got the nod over
Carl Hubbell when the southpaw filed
the bases In the ninth and Spohrer lift
ed long fly, scoring Richbourg.
Ruth Has Big Day.
Babe Ruth enjoyed one of his most
spacious days as the Yankees squared
accounts with the Athletics. His two
wallops into the stands, each time with
Lyn Larry on base, accounted for all but
one run in their 5-to-4 victory over
Earnshaw. Gomez and Wells pitched
brilliant relief ball after the champs
had fallen on johnson hard in the early
innings.
The Boston Red Sox abruptly halted
Washingtons four-game winning streak,
Is to 3. While Russell kept eight Sena-
tor hits scattered, his mates piled into
four opposing hurlers for 1S, driving
Crowder out in the seventh.
Although hit hard, Willis Hudlin was
stayed in the thick of things with a
9-to-3 decision over Detroit Every In
dian contributed to a 14-hit assault on
Waite Hoyt and Hogsett. Rain stopped
the Chicago White Sox and st. Louis
Browns In the latter city.

VOSM|K HAS TRIBE
FANS ALL EXCITED
Young OutfieIder, Hitting
.636, Proving Big Sensa-
ton in Cleveland.
BY X. E. SANDERS.

0LEVELAND, April 81 P.-
iris Speaker, Nap Lajoie,
~ Stan Coveleskie-they were
great ball players, but it's
Joe VoSmik now
Vosmik probably won't put the
Cleveland Indians in the world
series, but he couldn't create any
more of a base ball hysteria here
If he did. In just one week the
strapping, blond youngster from
the SandlotS has smashed his way
into regular job in the big time
in fairy story manner.
Besides making the jump straight
from the Sandlots to the majors, Vosmik
has made good in his home town
something that rarely happens in the
big leagues. He didn't play the open
ing game because Manager Roger Peck
inpaugh thought he might be too nerv-
GUS, but in the five games since then
he has dashed out six singles, five dou-
bleS, two triples and home run in %
times at bat. 1t figures out at an aver
age of .636.
Cleveland fandom, which never be-
fore saw a rookie break in so auspici-
ously, has taken VoSmik to heart. The
bleacherites, who watch him in left
field, have installed him as their favor
ite. Sunday $4,000 persons waited I'M
til the ninth to see him bat, unmindful
that the game was sewed up. 1t was a
compliment never before recalled in
Cleveland He obliged with single.
The same thing happened yesterday.
He's proving a drawing card, too.
Seventy thousand persons have turned
out in five days.
It all may turn out to be just an
other flash in the pan, but those who
watch him are confident he'll stick. He
hits 'em slow and fast high and low, in
natural manner.
The Tribe wouldn't have had Vos-
mix if they had not decided to take
Cleveland's two best sandlotterS South
with them this Spring. Il always
wanted to be a ball player" he said,
but I never thought seriously could
until then. I made up my mind I'd
try for it."
Vosmik has no other ambitions or
hobbies and thinks nothing but base
ball When he was in school, he used
to play hockey to watch the Sandlot-
ers. His mother didn't like 1t at first,
but now she admits there may be some
thing in base ball. He was 81 years old
April 4 and has lived all his life in
Cleveland.

Moore Does Not Want Cards tt
Send Him to Columbus.

CHICAGO, April 81 H1.-Outfielder
Al Moore, whose release to the Co
lumbus American Association Club was
announced last night by the st. Louis
Cardinals, today was baking over the
transfer.
Moore, drafted from Buffalo of the
International League, said he would
like to buy his release from the Car
dinals. He believes he can sell his
services to some major league team,
but if he is forced to go back to the
minors he would prefer to return to
Buffalo.
Buffalo, under base ball law, had first
claim on Moore, but that team waived
the claim, supposedly on the strength
of another deal with the Cards.
