Mccarthy Sees
Closer R ace
This Season
BY PAT ROBINSON

SSS~SSNS~SN
NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-"The
American League race will be
closer this year, but the Yankees
are sure to repeat, with Cleve-
land and Detroit trailing in that
order"
At least, that's the way Manager
Joe Mccarthy Of the YankS size;
up the situation in one breath to
day.
1--WE probably won't win the
pennant by 1917 games again,
but 1 don't see any team i'm
proved enough to beat us out.
If we lose, we'l have to beat our.
selves"
The Yanks are going to stand
pat on what they have, and any
rookie, says Joe, will have about
as much chance to break in as &
burglar would have getting intC
the Governments new stronghold
in Kentucky.
cat that" he adds, ''I might
consider one more pitcher IL one
Of them can show me enough
stuff. I'm taking TObin, Tamu.
lis, La ROcca and Sundr& south
and maybe one Of them may
stick"
As for the rest, Joe expects
them to again prove the best
staff in the league. Ruffing,
HadIey, Malone and Murphy
should be as good as ever, in his
opinion, and Pearson and Broaca
should be better.
"The only possible if on my
club" he said, "is Lefty Gomez.
Lefty's a winning pitcher any
time, but If he comes back to
have one Of his big years, we
won't worry much about the rest
Of the field.
"The rest Of the team should
be at least as good as they were
and DiMaggiO should be better.
DiMaggio will get off to bet
ter start because he won't be
Handicapped by all the ballyhoO
he had last year; he'll know the
hitters better and he won't hit
at so many bad balls because ne
won't be pressing"
Here's how Joe sizes up the res
Of the league:
81 think Cleveland will be the
most improved team. That
young Feller showed me plenty
and he'll win for them. And
WhitehilI should be a big help,
and Hadley will be better If he
keeps his weight down.
Incidentally, / think the In
dianS got slightly the better OF
that trade with the Browns
where they gave VOsmik, Knick'
erbocker and Hildebrad for Sol.
ters, Larry and Andrews. The
Indians are the team to beat.
81 think the Tigers will be
greatly improved through the
addition Of Laabs, even though
he has a scatter arm-you know,
one Of those fellows who's liable
to throw the ball any place
and York. But their pitching
won't be any better and Green
burg has still to prove he can
come back"
Joe believes the White Sox will
be an inspired team and think
highly of the Senators although
somewhat dubious about thei
pitching staff and their shortStor
He figures the Red Sox must b
better if only because he doeSn'
see how they could be worse thai
they were last year, and tn
Browns and Athletics he dismisSe
with q Shrug.

SCA4ogC ONN4 S%AAN
reau of Investigation don't come
to grips until Tuesday. February
16, in The Washington Times
Community Center League, both
teams are looking forward to that
meeting with keen anticipation.
At present the teams are dead
locked for first place with two
victories and no defeats, and the
way they are hitting on all
cyclinders they should be unde-
feated when the meeting time
comes around. =.
The washington Times will
give each member OF the pennant'
winning team gold awards. some
thing that every basketer in the
city would be proud to own. -.
In an effort to keep in physical
trim for league competition, the
G-Men have booked the powerful
District WPA tonight at Tech
High School.
Merriwell Finishes
Playing before a capacity house
at Heurich gym month ago, the
G-Men staged one Of those finishes
that you read about in story books
to win. Is to 10.
A few weeks later the WPA boys
came back and nosed out the
Government Sleuths, "a to %,
when Ollie Upton, guard, sank a
long shot from the middle of the
court.
In the opening contest tonight,
the Flying Eagles tackle Twin
Oaks in league affair. 1t starts
at 7:15. Neither quintet has been
setting the world afire, but they
have turned in some well-played
games.
The Eagles have former high
school performers in Bob Grimm,
of old Business High, and George
Lassise, former Tech luminary.
Steal Show
The Columbia Little Tavern
game stole the show in the league
Saturday night. Billed as the pre-
liminary to the Bureau Of InveSti-
gation-Labor encounter, the boys
staged one Of the finest contests
seen in the Community Center
League this season. Columbia won,
29 to 20.
Although they played without
the services Of Cogar, forward, and
Magahey, center, who are i'll with
the flu, Little Tavern displayed
enough power to warrant other
teams to watch out when it has
its full strength available.
Russ LampSon, former Central
High School captain, played a
brilliant floor game for Columbia.
However, the scoring honors went
to three former Techites.
Diversion Tops Scorers
Walter Diversion, center, came
through with 8 points and pep"
Hunter and Reds" Schaeffer with
7 markers each. Warren Swift and
Bus Cross, who learned their bas-
ketball at Central, kept Little Tav-
ern in the running throughout
with their long shots.
Bureau of Investigation had no
trouble disposing of Labor De-
partment, As to II. Bethel, Six-foot-
three forward, led he attack with
eight points. The only redeeming
light in the Labor Departments
play was the excellent defensive
game of Dewey Poole, 18-year-old
forward. The former Central
player found the rims for eight
tallies and found time to hold
Herbie Thompson and Carl Mac
Cartee two points each.
