Gehrig at first base.

Ruth, who insists he will never.
take a minor league job, said You
can't take a hustler like Lou out
of an infield without missing him,
regardless Of what he is doing at
bat or at the bag, because it's
breaking up a combination. But
even with Gehrig gone, the Yanks
have got too many long hitters who
can break up a ball game at any
time. It's almost impossible to beat
club like that over a long

Plans to stock the Yankee stadium
with trout and open it to public
fishing were being discussed today
as the world champions opener
with the Red Sox continued to bc
rained out.
With the infield and Outfield 50
deep under water that high and
low tide bulletins are now being
issued, and with pelicans nesting IN
the bleachefs, there is no telling
when the first game will be played
The report Is that Yankee officials,
disturbed by the loss of revenue due
to the postponements, have called
in a fish and game authority for
an estimate. The plan, as l got 1t
from a very questionable source,
is to operate the park on the lines
of fishing camp until the weather
gets decent Manager Joe Mccarthy
will serve as warden, and the play
ers as guides.
Instead of peanuts, hot dogs. and
soft drinks the concessions depart
ment will handle hip boots, canoes,
dry flies, rods and reels, and the
like.
The plan is a sensible one. Ger
tainly something has to be done to
offset the stupidity of the major
league officials in opening the base
ball season so early in the year
April is no time for baseball IN the
east and middle west You might
lust as we'll select July for ski
ing carnival or January l for the

Woody Rich Named Best
Rookie Pitching Star Of
yeur, Picked 70 Win 20
First Glimpse of
Yankee Stadium
Biggest Thrill

NEW YORK. April 20. tUP)-
Woody Rich. a tall. fair-Skinned
broWn-haired lad, came up the run
way steps by the dugout. His blue
eyes bulged and he said: "GarshI
Sight of the arena that Ruth
built was one Of Woody'S major
thrills since joining up with the
Red Sox six weeks ago. 1t wasn't
his bisgest thrill. of course. That
came last Sunday when he set all
Boston town to talkin by shutting
out Casey Stengels Bees. 10. in
the hub cityS inter-league training
Windup. Rich set the Bees down
with five scattered hits.
Woodrow Earl Rich, the most
discussed rookie pitcher in the ma
jor leagues, got his first glimpse OF
Yankee stadium while he and his
mates were wondering if the wea-
ther ever would permit them to
tangle with the Yanks in a season
opener.
But when he pitched at Boston's
Fenway Park Sunday. it was the
first time he ever saw any major
circuit stadium. And this noon he
was looking forward to witnessing
his first regular major league ball
game This is his first visit to
New York. He says. you've got
a pretty big town here. Guess
lot of folks musta come for the
Worlds Fair
incidentally Woody's statement
about the Worlds Fair. which opens
on April 30, is the longest anyone
ever heard him make. The right
handed finger from Morgantown,
N. c. is not man of few words.
He's a man Of ONE word. His
favorite monosyllables are Yeah
and "Nopel" SportswriterS with
the club insist that if Rich is as
tight with his hits during the sea-
son. as he is with his conversation
he should win at least 25 games.
Some Of them figure that the shy
22-year-old farm boy will win
more than 20 anyway. because he's
been a sensation during the condi-
tioning grind at Sarasota and the
exhibition trip. Boston writer's are
vieing with one another in calling
Woody a throw-back to Grover
Cleveland Alexander and Walter
Johnson.
