 BY HENRY McLEMORE
 United Press Stan Corrcspondent)
 New York, April 12-Being noth- ing more than @ baseball roundup of most of the items you already know:
 Nine of ten basebell experts will tell you pitching is 75 per cent of the game, yet nine of ten are not picking the Cards who have more pitching than a canoe in a tyhpoon ... most of the war correspond ents who travelled with the Tanks will tell you that with the excep- ton of Gehrig, Fred Walker is the ball-playingest guy on the team. and that the Tanks would win more games if Ruth was kept on the bench and Fred put in tho right pasture. Brooklyn is report ed to have offered the Braves Hack Wilson, Bake Phelps and Fresco Thompson for slugging Wally Ber- ger. Not in many a year have 50 many ace players been on the side- line at the start of the season. Del Bissonette, Kiki Cuyler, Babe Herman, Babe Ruth, Jimmy Foxx, Glenn Wright, Tony Cuccinello, Pinkey Whitney, Rogers Hornsby, Travis Jackson, Don Hurst and Dick Coffman are among the doubt ful starters. The distinction of be- ing the most drab club in the ma jors is 0 toss-up between the Ti- gers, Giants and Browns, tke latter having slight edge. We would say the leading gate attractions in baseball are--Yank's, Ruth; Giants Terry; Phillies, Klein; Robins, o. Doul; Cubs, Herman; As Grove; Indians, Terrell; Braves, Maran- vile: Pittsburg, Bros Warner; Cards. Dean; Red Sox, Alexander; Detroit, Rowe; White Sox, Sim mons; Reds, Hafey; Washington. Browns, nobody....
 George Gibson of the Pirates is known in some quarters as the man who can scramble q pitching staff like Oscar of the Waldorf an ome' let. This King Kong Rowe of the Detroit in batting practice before game with the Giants here, slammed one into the centerfeld bleachers, a point Ruth was barely able to reach in a fungo competi- tion. Bill Terry now encourages Giants dugout and seems to be get tbbb iSo1itbs sShiy HNo IiuoS, thC Tanks. Browns, Senators. Pirates and Cubs have the same infields they used last season....
 It's against the rules for Q Ma tional league manager to announce his pitcher in advance. Connie Mack, 70, is the oldest big league manager and Joe Cronin. 2C, the youngest. and Connie, we'll bet you, is more excited about the 1883 season than Joe. Yves Terrell is said to kick and complain more about Q fielding error than any other pitcher. .and just for your information, it'll be the Cubs and the Tanks again in October.

PRESIDENT WILL
 PITCH NEW BALL FOR SENATORS-A's

Washington, April 12 - (UP) - Pitcher Franklin D. Roosevelt. a new recruit in the big leagues, warmed up his throwing arm and pronounced himself ready to burn a fast one over home plate at Grif- filth Stadium today.
 | Making his first start at the bus mess of opening a major league baseball season, he promised to make the pitch a good one. When young Joe Cronin, man. ager of the Washington Senators, gets the ball from Mr Roosevelt. | the Senators will be lined up against their ancient enemies. Con- nie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics. and the 1893 pennant race will be on.
 That is, it will be unless the weather man has different notions. Canvas protected the diamond from heavy rains through the night and President Clark Griffith of the Washington Club said the contest would go on as scheduled unless the rain continued close to game time, 3 D. m.
 Cronin planned to start his pre- mier pitcher, General Alvin Crow der. Connie Mack maintained his customary secrecy, but 1t was be- lieved Lefty Grove would pitch.

 Yale played a fine game afcld, and except for one inning held the Tanks nicely in check. The final score was 10 0.
 Dixie Walker. who is being groomed for Ruth's place in the outfcId, was the only visitor to get two hits. Wcrber, who is trying for the shortstop position, made two pebbles yesterday after he re- placed Crosettl.

The Royal Typewriter quintet Of Hartford earned the right to meet Carols of New Haven Thursday night in the finals of the state elimination Industrial tournament in the Elm City upsettIng the Clock shop, local Dusty champs, at tho Central Y last night, 32 to 30, before small crowd. Carols qualified for the finals defeating Conde-East of Stamford by the Identical score of last evenings games.
 GctersIoh Some Shot
 The Capitol City array were too strong and tall for the green and white cagcatcrs who trailed from the outget excluding q brief period in the early part of the final quar- ter when they went ahead three points. Jimmy Getcrsloh, who has led the Hartford Industrial League in scoring for the past two years, clearly demonstrated the reason why by netting I9 points.
 Hollis BanIsiIcd
 Clock deserved to lose as they played raggedly. Earl Lewis was the only consistent shot cut ting the cords for 13 points. "Yanol" Carroll and HcnnIe Dea- pins played exceptionally well on the defense. Had Captain Harry Hollis taken himself out long be- fore he was banished on personals and substituted Dcspins or Nick Hudobenko. the Ingersoll lada migh have held Getersioh in check and might be looking forward 10 the state finals Thursday.

NOtre Dame Grads and ROckne Specialists Move to Worcester

Worcester, April 11-Joe She- kcetski, '33 and Joe Locke go, No- tre Dame, are the new assistant football coaches at Holy Cross col Iege under the regime of Edward N. Anderson of Chicago, recently named head coach of football here. Anderson's selections were made known tonight by Rev Timothy J. Phelan, $. J., moderator of athle- ties at Holy Cross. Both arc ex- pected to be on hand early next week ready to work with the new coach installing the Notre Dame system of football. 'T
 Took Brilps Place
 Shekeetski graduated from No. Ire Dame in February of this year. He was a starting back with the Fighting Irish. The Holy Cross coa ching job will be his first. Locke was substitute guard to Cannon and Metzger of the smaller type of guards in 1928 and 1929. Since his graduation in 1030 he has been coaching football at Wichita uni- versity, Wichita university, Wich- ita. Kan.
 Shekectski played two seasons at right halfback for Notre Dame. He held the role of blocking back and took over the assignment upon the graduation of Marty Brill, an ace in that phase of football.
 Today Rev T. J. Phelan also an- nounced that the Colgate university football team will play Holy Cross at Titton field on October 27. 1884. The booking has been thanking fire for several weeks. Holy Cross is elated over the idea of entertaining the Chenango Val- ley club, which waB unbeaten and unscorsd upon in 1892.
 With the announcement that Holy Cross will meet Colgate in football during the 1894 season. four of the Crusader contests for that year are already booked. The Red Raiders from Hamilton, N. r.. will be making their first football |appearance in Worcester at Fitton field on October 27. Other 1884 big games scheduled include Har- yard at Cambridge. october 20; Brown at Providence, November 17, and Boston college, either at Boston, or Worcester, on November 24. The latter date brings into line the policy to end the Crusader season one week earlier than has been the rule for many years.

Appetites of baseball-thirsty fans were whetted by prospects of closer pennant races in the two circuits, resulting from hodge-podge of changes during the off-season, and they were anxious to test the kick that the games braumeisters had given the 1893 concoction.

The complete card consists of 34 rounds of boxing.
 Two eight rounders will support the Jadick-C Cocoa battle. In one Steve Carr, the Meriden K. O. artist. will pair with Jimmy Capola, N. Y. armory fighter. Capola. though practically unheard or hereabouts, is one of the outstand- ing battlers in metropolitan armory arenas. He is a stiff puncher and a willing mixer--the type of a punch dispenser to do his share in giving a replica of the Moore- Carr slugfest at the last show.
 The second eight rounder will bring together Eddie Moore, the Bridgeport southpaw flash. and Tony TraverB, former king Of tho welters in the state for their fourth meeting Of the first two contests, Moore gained the verdict in the Park City and Travers avenged that defeat here Their last meet- ing. held at the Arena recently. was halted in the fourth round due to Travers' injured eye It has been reported that the winner of thia contest will be rewarded with . star bout attraction against Steve Carr
