Picks His Spot
Well, it was o. K. by Goose,
or at least was by the time he
came to his senses, because he
had heard rumors he would
probably be traded during the
season and if there were any,
thing to them, why, there was
nothing like having an oppor-
tunity to pick his spot.
It seems there has been some
thing of a mutual admiration
society by. amongst and be-
tween Messrs Cochrane and
Goslin of many years standing.
They not only devote much of
their off-season time to each
others company, but they have
many baseball ideas in com.
mon. From Cochrane's CONVEX
sation with this innocent by
stander at the New York gath
ering Of the Loyal Order of
Babe Ruth Adulators, it seems
that GoSlin will not only play
one Of the outfield berths for
the Tigers, but become a men,
Der of the Tiger board of
strategy as we'll.
In fact, this little boy scout
also caught hint that Coch-
rane isn't through adding to
the Detroiters yet and that he'd
like nothing better than to get
Jimmy Foxx to join the Ben
gals. What a trinity that would
make for Owner Navin-Coch-
rane, Goslin and Foxx!
Griffs Favored
Mickey was fairly beaming
at the acquisition of Goose. To
hear the new pilot tell it, moth
ing can keep the Tigers out of
the pennant, and next season
at that-not just the year after.
The trio, Mickey and Jimmy
and Leon, left the Ruthian
conclave together, dancing
merrily down the street as
three little pigs who were not
afraid Of the Big Black Griff.
men.
incidentally, all of the dis
interested b seball folks to
whom we talked over the week
end seemed to see nobody in
the American League, who
could beat the Griffmen, come
1884.
The consensus of thought of
writer's, scouts and hangers on
was that Weaver will come
through in the box, thereby
enabling Cronin to save
Crowder a little bit and other
wise relieve him of the heavy
burden he carried last year.
Stewart, Whitehill and Russell
are thought by the winter COS
sip monger to round out a very
potential winning combination.
Too, all hands believe Cronin
will have profited immeasur-
ably by his world series set
back, using it for a stepping
stone to greater achievements,
rather than letting it hang
over his head as a pail.
Ruth, himself. told the radio
audience that both Detroit and
Washington can easily profit
by the swap involving Stone.
adding that Goslin certainly
had a couple more years of
headS-up baseball in his system.

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, March 2e-Most brokers
today continued to be non -committal in
their views Of the stock market.
Thomson & McKinnon-Continued
strength In wheat would be extremely
helpful In extending the rally in stocks.
Frazier, Jelke & Co.-The action Of
stocks in the market provides a rea-
sonably accurate picture of the attitude
the business world is taking toward
the trade outlook There is q general
hope for better things in q reasonable
length of time, but a disposition to post
pone new commitments until hopes are
supported by more tangible indications.
Redmond & Co.-The attitude Of most
investors appears to be one of watchful
waiting, which we believe to be a
sensible one. The market still shows
no definite signs Of emerging from its
trading area.
Shields & Co-For the immediate
future, however, there Is no reason to
change trading policy of selling the
leaders on durrieS.
Hornblower & Weeks-1t is entirely
possible that the necessary readtust-
ments may be accomplished stimuli
taneously with general improvement
In the price levels for certain debated
commodities and equities favorably
situated.
jackson Bros, Boesel & Cove see
further evidence of coming imitation in
the recently enacted bank law, which
permits the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation to purchase preferred stock
In new or reorganized banks and to
make loans upon such stock. It is con-
ceivab.e that a vast amount of new
credit will be pumped into the market
If wide latitude is resorted to in this
direction.
