JOE CROWN T0I START AT SHORT
 FOR BOSTON SOx||
McNair's Morale Shot Due To Death of Wife
 DOerr At Second
By ERNEST BARCELLA


 United Press Stan Correspondent
 Boston, April 7-CUP)-Cali papers please copy:
 Joseph Edward Cronin of San Francisco, boy-manager of the Bos- ton Red Sox, will be back at his old Shortstop job when the 1887 campaign gets under way a fort night hence. And Master Robert Doerr of the Los Angeles DoeerS has clinched the second-base assign ment his first year in the big time.
 That was the verdict of General Manager Eddie Collins on his re- turn from Sarasota, Fla.,, where he and Owner Tom Yawkey watched their hired hands in spring train ing.
 "Of course, the decision remains with Joe," Collins added diplomati- cally. But my present impression is that Cronin will be at Shortstop when the season starts. He has looked great in spring training. His enthusiasm and batting punch cer- tainly could be used in the lineup"
 Cronin, who has had only mod crate success as a player since Yawkey shelled out $250,0 ,000 for him two years ago, took another fling at his old job a couple of weeks ago. That was when, 1t became evil dent that the sudden death of his wife in January had virtually wrecked Eric McNair's Morale. Of course, McNair may snap out of it. When he does, he and the boss will have a battle royal for the short stop berth.
 Collins, who personally secuted Doerr last summer, is sold on the, sensational 19-year-old Pacific coast rookie. He's living up to all the fine things they said about him. Bobby has clinched the second-base job as far as I'm concerned" :.
 That means the Red Sox will start the season with an infield of Jimmy Foxx at first, Doerr at second, Cronin at short and Pinky Higgins at third.
 As for the outf1eld, Doc Cramer and Mel Malmada are all set, while Fabian Gaffke, Buster Mills and Dominic d'Allesandro will fight it out for the third garden spot. "Almada is the most improved ball player on the club," Collins ob- served. Hes got his old confidence back"
 Rick Terrell will be the mainstay behind the plate, with Gene Desau- tels serving as second string catcher.
 "As for our pitching" Collins as- serted, Lefty Grove and Wes Fer rell look every bit as good as last season. Johnny Marcum looks bet ter. They'll be three of our starting pitchers. Walberg also has improv- ed and McKain is the most promis- ing of the new crop" q.
 Collins was "very much pleased with the attitude the Sox have talk en in training camp this year.
 They're working on 8 natural and firm foundation. Absence of the pennant ballyhoo of last year has eliminated the air of expectancy The. boys aren't walking around on air like they were last spring. They're doing business-like job and are showing a lot of enthus- iasm."
 Would Collins say whether the Sox would better their sixth-place standing of last year?
 "No."

MANERO, OPEN CHAMPION PLAYS
 FOR FIRST TIME
Sarazen Chosen For Ex- perience-Shute, Smith,
 Picard, RevOlta Named
BY HENRY SUPER


 United Press Staff Correspondent New York, April 7-(UP)-Five veterans and one newcomer-U. s. open champion Tony Manero-to- day were named the nucleus of squad of ten which will represent the United States in the biennial Ryder cup golf matches against Great Britain, June 29-30, at South port, England.
 Four other players who will com plete the squad will be selected on the basis of scores made in the na- tional P. G. A. tournament May 24- 30 at Pittsburgh and the U. s. Open Championship at Birmingham, Mich, June 10-12.
 The squad members named today in Augusta, Ga, by P. G. A. pres ident George R. Jacobus were: DenSnnore Shute, West Newton, Mass; Gene Sarazen, Brookfield . Centre, Conn; Horton Smith, Chi cago; Henry Picard, Hershey, Pa, Johnny Revolta, Miami, Fla, and Manero.
 First For ManerO
 All except Manero have played before, with Sarazen topping the list. He played on the 1927, 1929, 1891, 1883 and 1885 teams. Shute, P. G. A. champion last year and British open titleholder in 1883, played on the 1881 and 1883 teams. Smith played from 1929-when, at the age of 21 he was the youngest man ever to make Ryder cup team through 1885. Picard and Revol- ta had their first international ex- perience in 1885 when the U. s. de- feated Britain 9-3 at Ridgewood, N. J.
 Harry Cooper of Chicago, who led the winter circuit winners by cap turing $6,773.33, is not eligible for Ryder cup competition because he is British born, although he now Is an American citizen. Picard and Smith naled down their posts by finishing second and thrd in the earning column with $4,236.25 and $4,017.83, respectively.
 Shute and Manero, although not among the first ten money winners, automatically were selected because they won the major tournaments last year while Sarazen, another who failed to land up with the big ize-winners, was picked apparent ly because of his experience. Revol- ta, eighth on the winter circuit with $2,034.63, also was named be- cause of his experience.

 Bowling Notes

There was too much power In the arms of those Whistles last week at Andy CarrolPs A. B. c. alleys as they hit 1892 and took two games away from the first place Gin team without very much effort. The Gins won their only game by hitting a 554 in the second, beating out the Whistles, who had 548, by six pins. Their other tw ogameS were very mediocre and unless they really hit them the next two weeks, they will have a tough time holding on to their present two game lead. The Whistles high scores were Jack Slattery $50, Mccarthy 334, Jack Corden 326, and Galullo, 323. The only real pin getter for the Gins was Leo Scully with 336. although Carl Schoenmehl's 121 and J. B.. Delaney's 116 in the second game were really very instrumental in giving them their only victory. The Cider's four man team start ed off fine by taking the opened from the Beers by more than 60 pins. That's as far as they got however. The Beers came back strong to win the next two and prevented the Ciders from picking up any games or the leading Gins. Jimmy Creem was high man for the winners with 325, while Derouin had 302. For the losers, Fritz Kern, 347 and Kennedy, 328.
 The Champagnes advanced them selves to a real threatening posi- ton by winning all three games from the Cognacs and going into second place tie with the Ciders. The Cognacs had little to cheer about as they lost their games by 34, 72 and 40 pins as the Cham pagnes rolled up three game total of 1884. For the victorS Gregory had 374, Moriarty 327 and Doc Hogan came through with consist ent games for a 323 total. Jones stood out for the beaten team with 328 while Stafstrom had 311.
 The Brandies took the first two games away from the Wines, but lost the third as Harry Conway put in a nice 155 and Pat Slattery a 117 for the latter team. The Bran dies victory places them in sixth place in the standing. Not so very long ago, it was pretty difficult for any one to imagine how they ever could get out of the cellar. The high man for the Brandies was Montory with $50, while Bowen clipped in with SIS. Conway led the Wines with 357, followed by Mur- rays 329.

such guidebook. I have only 8 few chapters concerning a few sports but I will give you abrief outline of what I have written. ELet's skim through the chapter on tennis and list a few of its helpful hints.
 Directly before play swing your racquet vigorously before your op- ponent and worriedly replark:
 1T wish the balance were nearer the throat. There's entirely too much weight in the head of this bat"
 Only professionals call racquet 'bat" and the discussion of weight will show that you are a devout stu- dent of the game. When you miss shot your opponent will think the weight is wrong, not you.
 Once the game begins, cry after every shot you miss such things as Peach" "Too good" well hit" or Beauty" This will so f1atter your foe that he will overlook the fact that his shot WASN'T any too good and that you SHOULD have gotten it. Also keep up a running criticism of the court. The sun, the wind, your tight sneakers, your untight racquet.
 In golf the best way to make your own poor game seem better is to criticize the golf1ng form of the per- son with whom you are playing. vo,, ,ro,,cf acfo LI;cI fLa iSao %I,o you know the game as well as a pro, and that your bad shots are the result of carelessness and not lack of skill.
 ! have found the following ex- pressions very helpful:
 "Keeu your head down. "You were taking peek, weren't you?" I "You let your right shoulder col- lapse, ola fellow"
 Get your right hand over lit tie more. You've got to get that clubhead through, old man, if you wan anty distance"
 Too, you must also find fault with the greens. find it very impress sive to criticize thefairways with the rmemark: You seldom get a decent brassie lie. on this course, do you?" | Swimming would seem difficult to verbally improve, but it isn't. Just 8 gay bit of deception and you're fixed. We'll take the case of the fellow whose only stroke is the childhood "dog paddle" Say he's at pool, and al laround him are handsome males sliding through the water by means of the Australian crawl There is only one thing for him to do to save embarrassment. Just before he jumps in he turns and, with a light laugh, says "Won- der if still can do that stroke I learned when was a boy?"
 Then he jumps in and smartlY dog-paddles across the pool. Every one will agree he's card and think nothing of it when he says that be- cause of a chest cold he thinks he'd better not stay in the water any longer. The same is applicable to 8 poor diverm, he just stands on the edge of the springboard and suggests that he will attempt the old "cannonball" dive of his child hood.
 In polo and other equestrian sports, repeatedly dismount and stare in your horses mouth. This gives the impression that some thing serious ails him and, without a proper mount, you are sorely ham, dicapped.

Washington, D. C., April 7-(UP) Spring is here which makes it all most impossible for summer not to follow along very shortly. With the advent of summer millions of Amer jeans will turn to having a go at sports.
 Unfortunately the great majority of these outdoor lovers are not as good at the games they play.as they would like to be.
