PHILADELPHIA, April Alt
past performances of this years
competitors count, barring a soggy
field, many a long standing record
will fall Friday and Saturday
when the forty-third edition of
the Penn Relay Carnival unfoldS
itself on Franklin Field.
Started modestly in 1895, the
Penn relays have long since be-
come Americas banner track and
field meet, carrying the name and
fame of individuals and teams to
the four corners of the globe.
Like the circus, the carnival
grows digger and better than
ever" annually. A cavalcade Of
5000 high school and college ath-
letes from 489 institutions will rip
up the cinder track and greenSward
within the Red and Blue stadium
this year running, jumping,
throwing spears, pole vaulting,
and heaving cannon balls, ham,
mers, and discus weights.
It is doubtful If any of its pred
ecessors could SurpasS this years
program consisting of 76 events,
larger by seven than the 1886
classic.

Outfieder Joe DiMaggio, the prize
rookie of 1895 now grown into Q
full-fledged major Lacquer, made
these predictions:
That the Yankees again would
win the American League pennant
in a breeze. and that Bob Teller,
of the Cleveland Indians, will
stand up as one of the great
pitchers baseball has seen.
The Yankees should win again
because Of the power that carried
them to the world championship
last season, and Teller should con.
tinue sensa tionaliy because he has
shown that ne has everything
necessary to attain ranking with
the best, DtMaggio believes.
Speaking Of the Yankees,

last year, except for Red Ruff.

said, unhesitatingly passing the

do the things he has been doing,
such as striking out 81 Giants in
those ~ innings in exhibition
games.
"NO, don't look forward
with any eagerneSs to batting
against him. When a pitcher
can pitch that good, I'd just a.
soon avoid him entirely"
A 1928 hitter last year and
among the leaders in extra base
knocks, DiMaggio said no matter
what he might hit this year he
would not be satisfied-"But I'll
settle for an average Of $40 and
that's all right in the majors, al.

NEW YORK CITY, April 81.
Lou Gehrig's first time at bat as
he started q new season and new
records, was q line drive to right
for a double. The Iron Horse goes
right on about the business Of base
ball with new zest born every day.
AL Simmons, whose life time
average among active players Is
second only to Lou Gehrig's, sim
gled to center in the first inning
and scored Chapman with the
games first run. Chappie walked
his fourth toddle in two games.
Hogan dropped a Texas Lacquer
at the feet Of Roy johnson in left
field, and rushed to his turn as If
he were going to try for second.
He wisely restrained this desire.
Buddy Myer saved Weaver's
scalp in the first inning by making
diving stop Of Bill Dickey's low
line drive. There were two on
bases ana all hanQS running VlCn
two out when Myer made his cap
ture.
What did 1t matter to Gomez,
win or lose? He got a single in the
second inning, and it was a clean
single.
Red Rolfe almost cut a leg off
Monte Weaver in the third in.
ming when he laced a line drive
back through the box. The ball
struck Weaver on the leg and
bounced away for a clean single.
Tony Lazzeri r1fled one back at
Weaver which took effect on the
pitchers chest. What with base
balls bouncing off his chest and
legs, Weaver had trying day
of it.
Facing the Yankees is arduous
enough for most pitchers.

DSecond. Nice fielding on both
ends in that playl
frankie Crosetti fumbled a sim.
pie chance off Bluege's bat in the
fourth inning. The fans could
hardly believe their eyes.
Crosetti fouled one Of Weaver'S
pitches into a field box and tall,
Sun-tanned man stood up and
caught 1t. The crowd roared its
applause on the catch. for the tall,
sun-tanned man was Babe Ruth.
Crosetti gave the crowd another
chance to cheer when he sn1acked
screaming single into left field,
we'll beyond the clutch of Buddy
Lewis.
Bill Dickey has muffed only one
foul ball in several years. He has
muffed fewer than a dozen foul
balls in his entire career. Just
a great ball player!
Commissioner Kenesaw Noun
tain Lands was all dyked out in
a new sombrero. He strutted out
on the field. a symphony in grey,
even to his hair.
Buddy Myer had a nice time Of
it in the fifth inning. He threw
out Johnson, Gehrig and Dickey
in order.
The movie men had a lot Of
fun. They photographed Mayor
LaGuardia and Colonel Rupert.
Then Gehrig and Rupert came
in for their attention. Finally
Lands and Rupert were allotted
their six feet of film.
Gomez moved down the Griffs
after the second inning until AL
Simmons cracked his home run
into the right field stands. This
blow caused considerable discus

that the ball had passed out of
