Spring. II I fail it will not be be-
cause / did not try TO lick my old
starting habit"
Crowder was in splendid condition in
the South. He hurled Is innings before
the team reached Washington, three
against Baltimore, three against Louis
vile and nine against Chattanooga.
Here he went four innings against the
Braves, but In q fashion that indicated
that he was under his Southern form.
Crotuder, like Fischer, is cunning
for 20 pictorieS this year. Last sea-
son he rang up 18 against II losses,
most OF his t0tItS coming after the
SouthpdU had cracked trying to
make up for the right-hdnder's bad
getdCdy.
Walter johnson, looking over his
hurting squad as it moved North last
week, said that he expected both Crow
der and Fischer to bring him in 20 wins
apiece, and that if they did not he
would be very disappointed.
Crowders condition warrants him be-
signment tomorrow. In fact, the Cen
eral Is the only fellow who seems right
at the moment.
Big Fred Marberry Is recovering
from a cold, Carl Fischer is just
reaching tops after a siege with an
achey arm. Lloyd Browns fin still is
bcthersome, Monte Weaver had a
bad time of it in his last start, and
Bobby Burke's arm is just recovering
from a prolonged soreness.
And, above all, the General has been
asking for the honor of pitching the
first conflict of the season. For days,
coming North, the topic among the
hurlers was which one Of them would
get the assignment, but johnson evaded
the issue by announcing that the man
in the best shape would be picked.
But regardless iDhether CrotudeT
pitches in the opener it tDiH be nee
eSSdry for the General to prope et-
tectire from the outset II the Sem

Uncle Clark cannot afford a single

To offset the extra-base
swatting of such clouters as

will display more combined
speed and a tighter defense. 1t
is our notion the YankS are
leaning too heavily on an un-
tried keystone duet-Saltz-
gaver and Crosetti-brilliant

Cleveland appears too un-
certain defensively to threaten
the leaders, but with its
healthy hammering should
hang onto fourth place, with
plenty to spare. Almost any,
thing can happen with the
quartet consigned to the sec
ond division, but we think the
Browns ought to top it, fol-

last year, but st. Louis still

the revamped Brooklyn Dodg-
ers, under the guidance Of Max
Carey, fighting it out for the
other two money positions.
Pittsburgh's Pirates, with
George Gibson back at the

some sturdy opposition for fifth
