@F COURSE, the whole future Of
the Yanks depends on these
gentlemen. Allen and Van
Alta can make the pitching staff the
best in the league. Dickey is vital to
the team. Combs and Walker are

turn out well, the Yanks are a cinch

Van Alta YOU can't tell so much

he shouldn't be good pitcher. He's
young and strong. So far, he hasn't
reported any trouble with his arm or
any other part Of his anatomy. I
never saw q ball club in better shape

Maybe you should discount q little

truth is that the Yankee club is

1t was q year ago. It's ailing members

HURLERS GREATLY
IN NEED Of WORK
Plan to Give Vets 9-Frame
Tests Before Campaign
Opens Goes AWry.
BY JOHN B. KELLER,
STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.

)HATTANOOGA, Tenn, April
Rain fell on Tennessee
4 with the most devastating
effect on the Washington ball
club. Bucky Harris is fretting today.
Two days have gone by without ball
games with the Chattanooga club as
scheduled. He had planned to have
all his veteran pitchers go through a
nine-inning stretch. before the Amer
ican League championship season got
under way. The interruption OF the
schedule in this town will force a
revision of his policy.
He had planned to use Petit, the
pitcher brought up from Chattanooga,
yesterday, and also AL Thomas. This
business Of using AL Thomas, OF
course, for only three-inning turn,
was something that Harris had looked
forward to. With Bump Hadley still
under the ministration of Lee Jensen
the remarkable physical therapiSt and
trainer of the Chattanooga club, the
Washington manager had hoped to
bring Thomas around to the point
where he might become a starter OF
games once the season opens.
This delay in giving Thomas a
thorough test, even a three-inning
test, somewhat upsets Harris calcula-
tiOnS.
