Track Drill
Drawn Up

With time for practice sessions
to get track athletes in shape for
the annual Holtville relays growing
steadily shorter, valley coaches to-
day mapped intensive routines for
the cinder stars to follow during

tract athletes from seventeen or
more schools.
Ell Centro and Brawley high
schools are favored to be the strong
est valley teams but Yuma and
Coronado now rank as the strongest
teams in the meet.
Coronado, by virture of its fine
showing in dual meets on the coast
is reputed to be the best in the
Metropolitan league and Yuma is
the defending champion.
Holtville and Imperial should have
an abundance of half milers fol-
lowing their Is mile race last Sat-
urday but their teams are not ex-
pected to amaSs a great total of
points in the relays Friday night.
The Holtville track is rounding
into fine shape and Coach Noval

Pinch Hitting For Henry
McI,emOre)

CHICAGO, March %. UP)-It's
long hop from Will Harridge's
office to Gulfport, Miss, where
We finally cornered an American
league spokesman who would pick
the world champion New York
Yankees to win the pennant with
out much interference.
Harridge, who is president of
the league and should know which
ball club will win his flag, usually
doesn't. All his exporting is done
by Henry P Edwards, Spry little
man who covered his first world
series back in 1905 and still man
ages to come up with a fresh view
point every spring.
Fresh over direct telephone to
Gulfport came his views for 1897:
col. Jake Rupert said his
Yanks would win and that's good
enough for me. They look like the
same old powerhouse champions
and Lefty Gomez will make 'em
even stronger by pitching better
ball.
Detroit and Cleveland look like
the tough opposition. l haven't
seen Chicago, st. Louis or Phila-
delphia, but Chicago should be
the only dangerous one there.
That Jimmy Dykes will have
the White Sox causing lots of trou-
bic"
Henry's sketch by clubs:
New York-The YankS probably
won't win it by 1917 games this
year, but they are the same old
murderous club. Gomez looks good
and should be back in his finest
pitching form. If he isn't, man
ager Joe Mccarthy will fall back
on two rookie pitchers. Probably
two lads from Newark, Chandler
and MakoSky.
Detroit = Schoolboy Rowe looks
great. So does Hank Greenberg.
The Tigers will have all their
strength back and will make
fight of it. Chet Wilburn may
take over Bill Rogell's shortstop
job Ruby York may replace Mar
vim Owen at third and Al Sim
mons will have a battle in the
outfield with Jo-Jo White.
Cleveland Manager O'Neill
thinks the Indians will give New
York a run if Little Frank Ptylak
is strong enough to catch 100
games. Mel Harder is in great
pitching form. There seems to be
little doubt about Johnny Allen
and Bob Feller being outstanding
winners and Earl Whitehill looks
his best in years. Lyn Larry will
help the infield, but it still is too
early to tell whether the other
trade, Joe Vosmik for Julius Sol
ters, helped.
Boston = More congenial spirit
than last spring. But the Red Sox
reported late and won't be reaoy
TO go at full speed until April.
Helping Bob Grove and Wes Fer
rell with the pitching will be the
strongest group manager Joe Gro
min has had yet-Johnny Marcum,
Jim Henry, George Walberg and
Jack Wilson. all improved. The
outfield, however, won't measure
up TO that higf-priced infield.
Chicago from the White
Sox indicate they will be in shape
far earlier than last season. This
is the team Jake Rupert fears
rs much as any. Both pitching
and fielding win be stronger 81
