BATTING ROBOT TESTS NEW BALL
Not Much Difference in "Lively" and Other
 League Baseballs

Washington, March - U.P0 - The greatest hitter of all time - a slugger that never saw a baseball game - stood today in the batters' box at Griffith Stadium.
 Veteran baseball men were awed when this slugger slammed the first ball far over the center field fence APO feet from home plate, the next went even farther.
 This slugger is only a copper col ored iron cylinder filled with con- pressed air. It is being used to com- pare the "liveliness" of American and National League balls.
 The machine was made by the Bureau of Standards at the request of an American League committee, headed by Clark Griffith, president and owner of the Washington club.
 For two weeks, Dr. H. L. Dryden, chief of the bureaus mechanics and sound division, has been putting the machine through its paces indoors. Yesterday it was given its first out door test.
 An equal number of American League and National League balls were used. Under scientific testing, the two makes of balls travelled about the same distance. Dryden said there wasn't enough differ ence" to draw any conclusion.

McKeever, octogenarian Dodger president who died yesterday. Man ager Burleigh Grimes cancelled yesterdays session and announced there would be no practice Thurs day, when McKeever will be buried.
 Baton Rouge, La, March 2-(UP) Manager Bill Terry of the New York Giants professed no interest today in obtaining either Dolph Camilli or Buddy Hassett from the Brooklyn Dodgers to play first base. It was a straight denial of reports that the Dodger purchase of Camilli from the Phils presaged deal that would send Catcher Gus Mancuso to Brooklyn. Outfielder Joe Moore signed his 1888 contract last night and holdout Shortstop Dick Bartell is scheduled to arrive for salary conference with Terry tonight.
 St. Petersburg, Fla, March B. (UP)-The New York Yankee roster was completed today except for holdouts Joe Dimaggio and Lou Gehrig. The world champs went through their first heavy workout yesterday, and Third Baseman Red Rolfe and Frank CroSetti both ap- peared to have recovered completely from last season injuries. Rolfe per- formed as though his leg never had been operated upon and CroSetti's throwing arm seemed as good as ever. Billy Knickerbocker, who managed to maneuver himself from known that rookie Joe Gordon from the St. Louis Browns, let it be the Newark farm club had a fight on his hands for the second base post.
 Sarasota, Fla, March 8-(UP)- Manager Joe Cronin began today putting his Boston Red Sox through two sessions-morning and after noon-in preparation for a game against the Cincinnati Reds Sun day. Pitcher Johnny Marcum signed a contract yesterday. leaving only Infielder Eric McNair and Pitcher Archie McKain holding the recall citrants' fort.

Chozen was injured by 8 foul tip from Billy Myers stick during batting practice yesterday.
 Lakeland, Fla, March 8-(UP)- Manager Mickey Cochrane ordered extra fielding, walking and running exercises for his pitchers today. Black Mike has IT candidates try ing for Detroit Tiger hurling berths, and plans to weed them out quickly. He has decided to work them on alternate days to get a line on all. Joe Walsh, infield candidate with
 Bradenton, Fla, March 8-(UP)- Rocky Mount last year, was ex- pected to depart today for his Little Rock, Ark, home for treatment of knee injury. Manager Casey Stengel regards Walsh highly and was disappointed to find he had not recovered from the injury. The Boston Bee roster was complete ex- cept for three players. Rockies Harl Maggert and Max West have been held up by the California floods, but Infielder Rabbit Warstler's absence was something of mystery.

Bobby Jones's vocalizing has long been heard in this area through distant stations. WATR is the first station in this part of the state to carry Bobby's tenor vocalizations :.

Besides the fifty or more studio spectators that view the program three times weekly, an estimated number of 600 telephone calls, or more, are registered each broadcast at the telephone company's switch- board. A program similar to WATERS What's Your Answer,' performed with a battery of studio phones re- gently disrupted telephone service in Hartford, due to an excessive number of calls.
