N YEW YORK, April eff it's not
asking too much, Tom Yawkey,
millionaire owner of the Bos-
l. ton Red Sox, would like to
spend his money as he pleases without
too much criticism from the other
owners in the American League.
YaWkey doesn't want to make any,
thing of this. He merely wants it
made clear that with the exception
of the deal for Joe Cronin every price
I have been quoted as paying for ball
players has been grossly exaggerated;
and even if they hadn't it would be my
own private concern" 1t is generally
accepted that Yawkey has spent So
100000 on the club since 1882.
"Everybody's worrying about nv
going broke" Yawkey said. "And
while I appreciate their interest, I
don't think there's much of a chance
OF that. I'm not kicking about paying
and unless I completely upset the bal
ance Of power in the league I don't
think this adverse criticism Is justi-

A A sample of the twisting facts
in the trading activities of the
Boston club, Yawkey pointed TO the
clubs deal for Heinie Manush. He
said that the deal was announced as
a straight player deal-Ma nush for
Carl Reynolds and Roy Johnson-but
that the deal seemed to pick up more
cash every time he read about it.
Yawkey left here today for Boston
to see the exhibition series between
the Red Sox and the Bees. He said
he hopes TO see his club play over
100 games this season, and that more
than likely he would fly around the
league to watch the club on the road.

~ ISAPPOINTED, but not dis
couraged by a dolorous de-
but of his Nationals on their
49, home stomping ground, Man
ager Bucky Harris nevertheless took
steps today to prevent duplication,
when it's really time to begin worry
ing-after the American League sea-
son starts"
Watching the Washington ball club
step forth against the Dodgers to take
their worst beating of the year yester-
day, Harris was convinced OF only
one item-that was his charges were
squeaking with rust accumulated dur
ing five days of idleness. And so, with
a view toward working it off before the
curtain rises next Tuesday, Bucky
today mapped out a new pitching
schedule that definitely will result in
Buck Newsom facing the Yankees in
the inaugural and being followed, in
order, by Earl Whitehill, Ed Linke
and Jimmy De Shong.
The four remaining exhibition tits,
together with an extra day of drilling,
easily will suffice to put his hitters
back in stride, Harris is convinced,
but only by juggling his flrst-string
moundsman is the pilot fairly GER
