By ALAN GOULD

Reactionary policies having flown out t6e window, along with big salaries, it is not surprising that the major leagues principal pen rant contending clubs have caught the current spirit of reconstruc- tion.
 Not even the venerable MT. Con nis Mack, it now seems, will stand pat if he can unearth fast, hard hitting outfielder in the training camp of the Athletics or find a new infield combination, due to the aging of comrades Dykes and Bish- @.
 Fortunately, none of MT. Mack's shining satellites are old enough to be fearful of the downgrade. Sim mons, Grove, Earnshaw, Cochrane, and Foxx should retain their num- capacity for greatness for a num- her of years, but the patriarchal pilot is still on the lookout for more youth, especially since the  successful injection of young MT. Dib Williams into the infield last season.
 The Cardinals, of course, are al- ways babbling with youth, pro- cess no less conspicious now that the club occupies world champion ship heights.
 Pepper Martin is r'arin' to go. So is the celebrated MI. Dizzy Dean and his associate newcomers in the pitching staff, Tex Carelton and Ray Starr.
 They may make such veterans as Jess Haines, Syl Johnson and Flint Refm take a comfortable bench in the shade. Eddie Delker and Jimmy Collins, young infield- CTS, are also on the verge of be- coming Cardinal regulars.

Old Hurler Tells of Days Gone By in Baseball
 in Georgia

FAIRBURN, Ga, March 2.-It was a little over 50 years ago that Will Ferguson startled the Georgia Sandlots by throwing a curve ball.
 Ferguson follows the fortunes of pitchers in the big leagues now with the interest of a youngster, although he is getting along in years. He knows all the tricks present day pitchers use, and said he knew about all except two, back in his days on the mound. He never threw the spit ball or knuckle ball.
 It was in 1879, Ferguson said. that he first heard of curves. The baseball books told about them that spring, and printed diagrams show ing how to hold the ball and turn it loose.
 T practiced according to direc- tions, but couldn't do any tricks he said.
 But that summer Ferguson got a chance to watch a pitcher from Knoxville throw curves and dogged his steps until he showed him how it was done
 During his career as a pitcher, Ferguson lost but one game. That was against the first professional team he ever saw.
 True enough, there was the game between Fairburn and Douglasville in l884-when the opposition took 50 runs off Ferguson's delivery but the Fairburn boys countered with 15o.
 That declared a native. who witnessed it. was the best dog soned ball game ever played il. Georgia
 Judge W. S. McLarin, of Camp bell county, Ga, was Ferguson $ catcher. There were no masks, breast plates. and no gloves in those days, but Judge McLarin had about the toughest hands I ever saw" Ferguson said. He caught 'em all, crooked or straight

Hcpe History Repeats

The New York Yankees made baseball history under the late Mill Ter Higgins in 1926 when they came back to start another pennant-win : ming stretch with raw rookie paid at the middle of the infield-Short- stop Mark Koenig and Second Baseman Tony Lazzari. Lou Gehrig also was a newcomer that year at first base.
 The club may try to repeat his- tory this year by inserting two newcomers into the same vital po- sitions, Frank Crosetti, California sensation, at shortstop and Jack Saltzgaver, St. Paul recruit, at sec ond base.
 Manager Joe Mccarthy frankly admits he will give these two young men every chance to take over the positions, moving Lyn Lary over to third and keeping Lou Gehrig, of

ROCKIES FAITH

NASHVILLE. Tenn. March a. Frank Severa. of Troop. Pa, has faith in fortune tellers. and so does James A. Hamilton. vice-president of the Nashville club of the South ern association.
 Hamilton received the following letter: T am a young catcher and a good one. Having been playing n local semi-pro teams for ths past two years, I want to go into professional ball.
 While in New York last month I consulted fortune taller. She told me I was going to play in the Southern league this season and in the big games next year. I'm giving Nashville the first op- portunity to get me. How about @ contract?"
 After requesting and receiving photographs and records, Hamilton decided to take a chance on the fortune teller. GIe mailed Severa a contract.

Cubs We'll Stacked

The Cubs will do plenty of ex- pcrimenting with expensive talent under Rogers Hornsby at Catalina Island Before he died William Rig ley, Jr., turned loose his resources for the acquisition of some sensa- tional young prospects, including Billy Herman and Stanley Hack, infielders.
 The Cub outfield also is due for a revamping, but if the Bruins make any real threatening gestures it will be because Grimes, Root, Malone, Smith and Bush combine to produce consistently effective pitching.

Six times the laurels Of the ice

is fed up. Today she said:

When you skate you must do
only skating. I've been skating
since August now. 1 haven't
been home at all. never can
have any fun when Pm skating.

She sank back in the orange
upholstered chair of her hotel
suite. exchanging sympathetic
glances with her round-faced
father, Wilhelm Henie, Olso
draper. Father Henie has not
been attending to business for
six months. what with traipSing

skating daughter!
Sonia. who is 10 and has been
a champion since she was IA, will
always skate, she says, but right
now her interest centers in Paris,

this year studying French. That
won't be as tiring-nothing could
