NEW YORK, April 13.-The st.
Louis Browns, having played only
half of their games with major
league teams. today were at the top
of the standing in Springtime's exhi-
bition base ball.
In combat in their own league the
Browns wound up with an even score,
having won four and lost as many,
while they broke even in their inter-
league play also with one victory and
one defeat. Their al-games score,
however, showed them winning Is
games while dropping S; the five they
lost to the big league teams, and this
gave them an average of .750
In second place were the Washing

five and lost three against National

training campaign, today found
~ himself momentarily shunted
into the background as the Washing

for the opening game tomorrow
against the Yankees.
The 19-year- third baseman. who
fell heir to the post almost as soon as
he set foot on the training field at
Orlando. Fla, In February, will sit on
the bench tomorrow, it seems assured
and in his place will cavort the veteran

shift. 1t was explained by Manager
Bucky Harris, Is Lefty Gomez, star
southpaw of the Yankees. who Is due
to open on the slab against the Griffs.
Today, as the Nationals began a
lengthy practice that was to wind up
with a six-inning game between the
regulars and yannigans, Lewis was to
give way to Bluege on the first team" "
which also will have Carl Reynolds
playing in right field.
The reason for the replacement Of
Lewis by Bluege and Johnny Stone by
Reynolds is to throw as many right
hand hitters as possible against
Gomez.
"In the case Of Lewis" declared
Harris, "the whole idea is to take some
of the strain of the kids shoulders.
After all, 10 is a tender age to break
into an opening game against left
handed pitcher like Gomez. Buddy is

Versatile Talent Reports to
Coach Walter Young for
Daily Drills.

ROGRESS of the newest candi-
- dates for American Univer-
sity's track squad has removed
some of the burden of the
team from the shoulders of the vet
eran, Howard Thompson, who, Incl
dentally, reported for the first time
this season last week after being con-
fined to bed for 81 days.
Only the lack of pole vaulter and
high jumper now is worrying Coach
Walter Young. who is forming his
team around four men-Sparky Bart
lett, Gus Hertz, Olin Smith and Clar-
ence Corkran, who do several things
well in addition to composing the
Eagles relay team. Bartlett is a
half-miler and broad jumper, Cork
ran dash man and broad jumper,
while Smith and Hertz both run
the $50.
Particularly in the mile and 2-mile
runs does Young find himself well
equipped, possessing as he does Fred
Church, star of the Maryland fresh
men last year, and Joe Carlo and
Herbie Fuchs
With Thompson again fit, the A. U.
coach is planning to use his star in
the dashes, half-mile and broad Jump,
sparing him, if possible, from duty
with the relay team. Other field
events are being prepared for by Kim
Shoop, who throws the javelin, and
Chick Yackel and Jack Rhodes, who
toss the shot-put.
The Eagles will meet their first op-
ponent a week from Friday when
they travel to Lynchburg to meet the
athletes of Lynchburg College.

morrow he'll be on third base"
Today's practice game was to find
Kendall Chase, young left-hander,
pitching against the regulars. Harris
believes the use of the speedy but wild
southpaw will afford the club a final
chance to look over some offerings Of
the variety that Gomez will serve up
tomorrow. Joe Bokina. the right
handed recruit from Albany, was to
hurl for the regulars.
Today's practice game was deemed
necessary by Harris following the cam
collation. of yesterdays exhibition tilt
in Baltimore against the Orioles. Al
though the weather was clear at game
time, Washington's final exhibition
tilt had long since been called, much
to the dismay of Harris. By the time

Gomez who won 26 out of 81 decisions
to lead the league in 1884, had broken
even last season he might have won
the flag, inasmuch as Detroit's margin
over the New Yorks was only three
games.
For another thing, too much
has been said about Joe Di
Maggie to belittIe his chances
of helping the Yanks. If the
spaghetti kid is half the ball
player he is cracked up to be,
New York will have an outfield
considerably better and more
powerful, extensively and defen-
siveIy, than that which didn't
help any too much in the 1885
flag chase.
But there was some tearing down,
wasn't there? Beginning at the be-
ginning, there are the Tigers, riding
the crest of their base ball careers. 1t
takes pretty good ball club to win two
straight pennants, but it seems to take
a great team to make it three in row
Only three times has 1t been done in
American League during the last %
years. Back in 1929, with Babe
Ruth and Miller Higgins, the Yanks
finished on top and they repeated the
triple victory in 1926-7-8. Then the
Athletics did it in 1929-3o-31. And SO
far nobody has been comparing
Cochranes Detroiters with these ball
clubs.

Simmons Value Held Doubtful.

MICKEY figures he has added power
A'A by the acquisition of Simmons.
He probably has. But even as long ago
as three weeks it was whispered by
few aides de camp at the Tigers train
ing base at Lakeland, Fla, that AL
wasn't hitting it off too well with the
bunch who fought their way to the
1884 and 1885 flags. Then, too, base
balls grapevine route has buzzed now
and then with prophesies that Hank
Greenberg's holdout act, together with
the concessions made to him, will dis
turb the unmatchable spirit Of anna
teurism that propelled the Bengals to
the front.
Finally, those with an ear to
the ground think they detect a
few bone creaks emanating from
Detroit way and they have been
suspecting such cogs as Goose
Goslin. Bill Rogell, General
Crowder and Charley Gehringer.
Moving over to Boston we find the
Red Sox studded with stars and pack
ing enough potential dynamite to blow
up Back Bay. But there also remains
the necessity Of Lefty Grove and Wes
Ferrell again winning As games be-
tween them, in addition to Johnny
Mercum and Lefty Ostermueller turn
ing in sizable share as starting pitch
ers. Marcum just yesterday was dis
charged from hospital after a ton
silectomy calculated to cure an ailing
arm. 1t would be embarrassing for
Messrs. Yawkey and Cronin to discover,
for instance, that Johnny's arm re-
mains sore. And Ostermueller, for all
his promise, never has managed to set
the league afire.
Out in Cleveland they again are
talking pennant for club that some
how seems to lack what it takes. Steve
ONeill, it's said, has the Indians
clicking, but they always are hot stuff
in the Spring, when the very passable
crew Of pitchers is ahead of the batters.
