Boy Manager Predicts Daffiest
Season In History OF Baseball

| back to his 1885 form when he
won the American League batting
title with a .341 mark after being
laid low last year with stomach
ailment?
~ Freddy Sington. Will the big
All-American tackle from the U.
of Alabama keep up his vicious
hitting and justify the cleanup
batting role given him? He hit
.319 in 25 games for Washington
last season after coming up from
Chattanooga with q 1884 batting
mark.
80 Dick Lanahan and John
Salveson. Will these two young
pitchers win regular jobs? Lana
han won 13 out of his first IA
games at Chattanooga last year
before being stopped with a sore
arm. He's strong again. Salveson
is back for his third major league
trial after a record of 81 victories
and seven defeats with Los An
geles last year.
~ Shanty Hogan. Can this be-
hemoth come back from baSeballS
scrapheap to catch 100 games? He
has trained down from 270 to 23O
pound and seemingly is ready to
go at top speed through a sizzling
season.
If those men come through,
washington will be a contender
without a doubt, according to Har-
riS. The Senators have the best
balanced hitting team in the ma
jors with a lineup of 300 hitters
right down the batting order. The
infield Of Kuhel, Myer, Travis and
Lewis is perhaps the majors best
combination. Stone, Chapman and
Sington form a strong offensive
outfield. The big four of the
pitching staff will be Jimmy De-
Shong, Buck NeWsom, Pete Apple
ton and Joe Cascarella. That's not
championship quartet but the
clubs hitting may carry them far
ther than anyone expects.

Stanley tBucky) Harris, one
time boy manager" of the Wash
ington Senators, forecasts the sill
liest. daffiest, craziest race in Am
erican League history this sea-
son.
washington has q better club
than last year" said Harris, but
the race may be so tangled up
that we will win more games and
have a better percentage and not
finish as high as our fOurth-place
berth last year. Then again t
something should happen to the
Yankees we might win the pen
nant.
why shouldn't we have a
chance? We beat the YankS nlne
times last year, more than any
other club in the league. We broke
even in % games with the second
place Tigers. If those two clubs
are figured as the top teams, why
shouldn't washington figure too?'
Harris, who piloted the Senators
TO the worlds title as a youngster
in 1924. is one of the keeneSt
ANALYSTS in baseball. He said not
to LET the Yankees 1912 game mar
gin in last years race fool you.
Don't tell me the Yankees are
that good" challenges Harris.
They're creaking in a couple OF
spots. I'll wager that Pat Malone
and Bump Hadley won't win 2b
Games between them again this
wear Joe DiMaggio is a great
hall plaver but he may find the
Going tougher in his second year
than he did as a freshman. The
pressure will be on him more than
last wear and it may cause him to
tighten up. -
Harris said he didn't blame any
one for picking the Yankees TO
reneat but that the setup all
around the league is such that
the race can be turned topsy-tur-
wv with four or five clubs battling
New York for the pennant.
Take my club, If everything
sbo,,ld break well for us we could
olive the Yanks whale of a scrap.
The same applies to Detroit,

Howard Hettrick Wins In Golden Glove Meet

Stage Finals Tonight

Raleigh, March 19.-(SpeciaD-
Howard Hettrick, Elizabeth City
High School boxer and finaliSt in
!ast years Golden Gloves tourna-
ment here blasted his way into the
Semi-finalS of the 1897 Goldcl
Gloves tournament tonight Wllcn
he gained a decision over Roscoe
Flowers of Four Oaks in three fast
and furious rounds.
The ever popular Hettrick used
fast left hand to hold his oppo-
ncnt at bay and turned loose a
right hand loaded with dynamite
that gave Flowers no little trou-
BILE. Hettrick carried the fight to
his opponent in all three rounds
and never YVES the winner in queS-
ton. The Elizabeth City boy,
fighting under the handicap of a
boil on the back of his neck thrill
ed the fans tonight when he be-
gan to use his right hand. Flow
erS, who is not much of a boxer,
but S.ugS all the way. was unable
to touch the eastern boy.
The fight opened with both boys
fighting cautiously. Flowers swung
q long right but missed and Het-
trick was satisfied to jab with a
left that hit its mark on most
tries. In the closing seconds Het-
trick stepped in and let both righ:
and left hands fly. The crowd got
big kick out of this.
The second round the Elizabeth
City boy came out with both
gloves flying. Jabbing with his
left and sending home his right,
Heretofore when Hettrick has
boxed in Raleigh he has used his
left IS per cent of tie time but
tonight he used his right frequent
ly. He took the second round with
wide margin as Flowers never
touched him during the round.
In the final round, Flowers was
still trying to slug but HettrlcE
refused to be drawed out and hit
him with lefts and rights that
pleased the crowd. 1t was IIcttricE
by wide margin.
| The semi-fina'S and the final;
will be run off tomorrow. In thc
semi finals Hettrick will meet Will
lard Morris. of Zebulon, who is a
slightly taller boy than the East
ern boy. The other two left in The
class. Phillip Hulk Of Roanoke

New York. March 17.-WDH-,
Holcombe Ward, new president of
the United States Lawn Tennis
Association, sat in the office of
his woolen business today and
said: ''a'
l. Winning the Davis Cup is
not important to development of
tennis.
2. 1t is not alarming that the
professional promoters are Sue
cessfully raiding the amateur
ranks.
3. The competition for the
Davis Cup this year should be a
threcway battle among the United
States, Australia and Germany.
Ward, who played on the, first
American Davis Cup team in 1900,
ha 3two ambitions in his new job.
Fer years he refused to head, the
Tennis Assc citation. He felt that
because of his business interests
he could not do justice to the task.
Now, that he finally is president,
he has two major ambitions.
The first" he caid, lis to- devc-
lop throughout the country-to
interest smaller clubs in joining
the U. S. L. T. A. We are dcvct-
ing considerable time and Thought
to this because we feel if the
smaller clubs get into the organi-
zation it will help to spread the
sport. The second is to develop
younger players. We want to
bring out a lot of boys who con-
slider tennis a real amateur sport
and play it because they like it,"
Wards organization is in
augurating this season the idea of
a Junion Davis Cup squad. This
spring, in dozen big cities,
squads CT players from is to 20
years of age will begin training
under competent coaches. With
the lure of the Davis Cup urging
them on, the youngsters will take
mere than a passing interest in
the game. 5.
The cup" Ward said, lis not
important as a trophy. But it is
a grand incentive. I don't agree
with theorists who hold that, loss
Of cup means decline in a
nations tennis fortunes. If one
hcldS the cup tco long. younger
players become discouraged be-
caUse they feel they haven't a
chance to make the team. I'd
prefer to see a country keep the
cup two years and then lose it.
This would serve to liven up COM
petition in that country"
Discussing profession a S m,
Ward said:
In one way, II has a beneficial
effect. The game suffers when
two OF three players remain at
the top year after year. Many
promising youngsters become, dis
couraged. With the champions
seeking professional fields, how
ever, new faces break into the
amateur picture and the result
is health one"
About the 1897 Davis Cup.
Having lost Fred Perry, Eng
land probably will part company
with th2 cup. 1t looks like a toss
UP among this country, Australia,
and Germany. We should have a
better team than we had last year
as the result of additional expert
ence. Like England, however, we
must find d capable No. 2 singles
player. Don Bulge shapes up as
our big hope. After that it's hard
to discriminate among Gene
Mako. Bobby Riggs, Joe Hunt,
Frank Parker and Bryan Grant"
