The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-03-03

Because of this trend, Jack Sharkey is casting anxious eyes at his world, heavyweight belt. He's very superstitious fellow. Other title holders. such as Maxie Rosen- bloom and Kid Chocolate, share his anxiety. The epidemic of "chambionitis' started Januarys13 when Freddie Miller, Cincinnati southpaw, wrest- ed the N. B. As featherweight title from Tommy Paul of Buffalo, by taking the. decision in a Hereunder at Chicago.
 Wear the Purple
 The same night Ben Jeby of New
 York won recognition as middle
 weight champion in New York by scoring a technical knockout over
 Frank Battaglia of Canada. He
 succeeded to Mickey Walkers dis
 carded crown.
 Gorilla Jones, colored boxer of Akron, O, regained the N. B. As
 middleweight belt on January 31 at Cleveland when he knocked out Sammy Slaughter, Terre Haute Negro, in the seventh round of
 their final elimination match. Battling Shaw of Mexico took the | junior welterweight title from Johnny Jadick of Philadelphia by winning the 10-round decision in
 their bout at New Orleans on Feb
 ruary 21. The following afternoon, Young Corbett, Fresno southpaw, annexed Jackie Fields welterweight crown
 with a 10-round verdict at San Francisco.
 Knight Out Joe Knight of Cairo, Ga. was
 handed the N. B. As light heavy
 weight championship when the as- | sociation vacated George Nichols title, but Knight bequeathed it to Bob Goodwin of Daytona Beach, Fla, Wednesday night, when he dropped a 10-round decision to the Floridian at West Palm Beach. Maxie Rosenbloom, recognized as
 light heavyweight champion in
 New York state, will defend his honors against Adolph Heuser, Ger
 man slugger, at Madison Square Garden a week from tonight. 1 Many boxing experts would not be
 surprised to see the German take the title.

JOE MCCARTHY RATES
 GEHRIG BETTER THAN ANSON, CHANCE or CHASE
(By NEA Service)

New York, March 3-The best first baseman ever to don glove was not Pop Anson, Dan Brouth- CTS, Fred Penney, Hal Chase or Frank Chance. The best first base man in baseball is Lou Gehrig
 That's the opinion of Marse Joe CcCarthy, portly and wise old leader of the champion New York Yankees
 Joe recently attended a banquet given the Newark Bears of the h. ternational league. He was sitting next to a speaker who chanced to remark that Gehrig was one of the game's greatest first basemen.
 Mccarthy leaned over and re- marked:
 Not one of the greatest, but the greatest"

Kuhel at First

aFss AunGl aC lFSt
 The Senatorial infield sits pretty, too, thanks.
 siJoe Kuhel looks set for a big year at first, although the Wash ington fans may expect too much from him after Joe Judge. kuhei is great to throw to, great on grounders, and shows signs Of be- coming a great baserunner. His hitting has improved, too. And Joe knows that while we have young Connaster, the first call goes 10 Kuhel.
 "Buddy Myers .2S0 batting aver age doesn't prove his real ability. He's & great baserunner, too. Last wear. he settled into the second base .iob got the knack of pivoting, and with his gameness and hustle, he can be the league leading man In this sport"
 Ossie Bluege is a great favorite in Washington, where the fans realize that his scintillating defen- sive play overshadows his occa- sional weakness at bat. Another third baseman to look over is Ce- ciI Travis, whose left-handed hit ting put him second in Southern league standing, last season-his first year in professional baseball
 with this club, believe Wash ington is a greater pennant con- tender than last season. Cronlr 9ummerized. The trades have helped us.
 "The Yankees will be tough or account of Gomez and Allen, anc strong batting. Our left-handeo pitching is strengthened, as is oul batting. So, barring injuries only we are going places"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-03-03

;, with the club that is to reper- have to do is hustle hard as a player to keep up with bunch that should go somewhere, and try to vindicate MT Grifiiith's judg- ment in picking me as manager" says Joe.
 Experienced Men
 Players make the manager. Ours is an experienced club. with all the men well past the experi- mental stage, so there isn't going to be q lot of tinkering. They know they'll all hold their positions un- less they go bad or injuries over take them. So their mental attitude Is all set for a battle as pennent contender"
 Winter trading materially helped the Senators, Cronin ayers. He doesn't consider the club worked shell games on the others in swaps.
 sam West was hard to give up. He packs lots of punch, and his fielding is the greatest in the league. But we needed right handed hitter in the outfield, and we wanted Goose Goslin back in Washington, where he's tremend- ous favorite.
 Fred Schulte, the centerfielder who also came in the trade with the Browns, is a good right handed hitter. I rank him next to West in fielding. Schulte has powerful arm. And as we're out to win every possible game, it might be noted that he was the best pinch hitter in the American league last season.
 Fans Like Goslin
 "Goslin will be in new posi- tion as right fielder in Washington, back. Goose makes more extra base hits than Reynolds, and drives them further. 1 feel he's better de- fensively, too.
 Add to these Heinie Manush- one of the first five in league bat ting, tied with me in batting in runs, capable in pinches and a great fielder--and it looks like a strong outfield any way you size it up."
 Cronin sees an advantage in the Sewell-Spencer swap with the In diaps. For years, he has admired Sewell's hustling, and his work with pitchers. At Biloxi, the Sena- tor boss will look over Cliff Bolton. a catcher from Chattanooga who hit .340 last year.
 And in pitching?
 'The trades put us in good shape to fight the As and Yankees. Whitehill and Stewart are great southpaws. Working for the Browns last year, Stewart beat us six times in that many starts. The Washington park should be to his liking. And Walters one pitcher who's set to start in the spring. Earl Whitehill, who came from Detroit. is one of the most likely lefthanders in the circuit. Russell, righthander from Cleveland, al- ways was good against the Sena- tors"

Cronin insists that his holdover pitching crew doesn't get the at tention it deserves. In spite of win ming 26 games in 1882, Crowder received practically no attention, Joe means.
 "Only the close of the season kept the general from winning It straight games-a record held only by Wood and by Walter Johnson. And with a years experience be- hind him, Monte Weaver should be a fit running mate for Crowder, Whitehill and Stewart.
 .Al Thomas, who is credited with three victories over the Browns Tn three successive days, was hurt in a great game against the Yankees. The arm under went an operation during the winter. It's a question of the arm."
