BOSTON, April 24-The illness

ing its batting average, with the
result that Buddy Lewis is out with
the flu for an indefinite period.
Lewis, of course, remained in WASH
ington and Charley Colbert has
been handed the third-base assign
ment.

Wasdell Coming Back.
Meanwhile, First Baseman Jimmy
Wasdell's jammed thumb is on the
mend and Manager Bucky Harris
expects him to be able to play dur
ing the three-game series here with
the Red Sox. Ossie Bluege, vet
eran utility inf1elder, has done a
remarkable Job of filling in for the
youngster
Manager Harris has been able to
place what he regards as his first
team on the field only against the
Athletics in the Mats first game.
Travis was withheld from the
opener against the Yankees, due to
poor condition, while Wasdell, who
pinch-hit yesterday at Griffith Sta
dium, has been at his post in only
one game.
Lewis has been hampered by in
jury and illness since he damaged
his knee in an exhibition game. He
recovered from that and collided
with throat trouble and then, when
he finally appeared to be in excel
lent physical trim, he tangled with
some stray flu germs and came out
second best.
Krakky to Face Bosox.
Harris has hopes the cycle is COM
plete. First it was Taft Wright with
a sprained ankle, then George Case
with pulled leg ligament, Travis
with the flu, Lewis knee, Wasdell's
thumb and now Lewis again. Rain
was an aid in the case of Catcher
Rick Ferrell, whose split f1ngernail
healed during four days of inac-

Yankees in his first start, has been
named by Harris to toll against

thing more damaging than pink

Like Hero Of Old
Holding Tribe
To -Four Hits
Paul Dean Suffers
Reverse Fortune
Trying Comeback
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer

Hold that Tiger, boys. Schoolboy
Rowe Is back to stay.
His four-hit shutout of the Cleve-
land Indians yesterday, as noble a
comeback bid as sport has seen in
many a year, didn't cause the New
York Yankees to lose sleep last
night, but certainly it raised the
Detroit Tigers into consideration for
spot better than their fourth place
of last year.
The big Texas Highlander, who
pitched Detroit to an American
League pennant in 1884 and helped
less spectacularly in their 1885 re-
peat, showed no trace of an arm
ailment in his first appearance this
season.
He struck out four and walked
only one man. The hits he yielded
were three scattered singles and a
double. The effort fulfilled Detroits
fondest dreams.
Arm Went Dead in 81.
Rowe's arm went dead in the
spring of 1887, and after he worked
F! in 10 games with no success he
retired from baseball and pathet-
ically travelled up and down the
country ferreting out any doctor,
bone-setter, rubber or what-not any
one ever had heard of.
He failed to come back last spring
in four games with the Tigers, but
had moderately good year with
their Beaumont farm in the Texas
League. Now he looks the hero of
old. incidentally, he contributed
triple and a single toward his
teams 80 rout of the Indians.
In contrast to RoWe's return was
the rebuff received by Paul Dean,
who also sought to come back yes
terday for the St. Louis Cardinals
after having lost his pitching fee,
in 1887 and spent most of last sea-
son in the Texas League trying to
get it back.
Dean was belted out of the box
in the fourth inning by the Chicago
Cubs and charged with the 6-5 loss.
He worked three scoreless innings
on one hit before the Cubs crashed
through with five hits and four
runs in the fourth.
Owen Ties Two -baser Mark.
In the National League games
Harry Gumbert permitted only one
hit for six innings as the New York
Giants subdued the Boston Bees,
AZ; the Cincinnati Reds took their
second straight from the Pittsburgh
Pirates, To. behind the Shit pitch
| ing of Bucky Walters, and the

The New York Yankees main
| tanned their record of not having
lost to lefthander against whom
they're supposedly weak by knock
ing Ken Chase of the Washington
Senators out of the box in the
fourth and going on to win IA.
This victory and Cleveland's defeat

the American League.
The Chicago White Sox amassed
10 hits. including four doubles by
Marv Owen which tied a major
league record, to wallop the St.

STOCKS REVIVE

NEW YORK, Jan. 13 GNSO.
The stock market met support to-
day, after slipping more than q
point at the start in a continue.
tion Of its recent reactionarv
trend. Most early losses were re-
covered, and many leaders moved
fractionally above previous clos
ing levels.
Trading was at a comparatively
sluggish pace with stocks shifting
easily in either direction on small
blocks.
BIG STEEL IN RALLY ....
Typical of the markets fluctua-
tions were the movements in such
leaders as U. S. Steel, Chrysler
and Consolidated Edison.
Big Steel converted a loss Of
more than a point into a frac-
tional gain while Consolidated
Edison turned in a similar per-
tormance. Chrysler wiped out an
extreme decline of 15s points.
COMMODITIES LOWER
Some of the coppers continued
backward, but most utilities,
5teels, motors, rails, aviationS
and rubbers moved behind plus
signs.
Commodities were shade
lower in most instances. Grains
slipped fractionally, while cotton
gave up 25 cents bale. Bonds
cut down early declines, following

NATIONAL DEBT
ON LONG Term

Although the Governments
debt currently stands at an all
time record peak of $4,000, ,000,-
900, taxpayers won't have to
worry about its repayment for
long time to come.
Federal Reserve Board studies
today showed that $35, ,000, 200, 900
of the debt does not start to
mature until 1914 and that a con-
siderable portion still will be on
the Treasury's books 20 years
hence.
Because of the large volume of
idle funds that has been available
in the United States during re-
cent years, the Treasury has been
able to borrow money on a con-
siderably longer maturity basis.
Approximately $13,390,000,0 900

soon wiped out in large part.
DOUBT EXPRESSED
Our recovery" since June is like
them to the extent that it, too, is
largely a matter of consumer
goods; and it is accompanied by
the same lack of confidence and
backwardness in demand for bank
loans for business purposes.
I strongly doubt the correctness
of the foregoing analysis, however
alo not not believe the outcome
will be as suggested.
Just as the peak in 1887 was
much higher than the ones men
toned above, and much more like
the boom phase of the usual "busi-
ness cycle; so the depression in
1888 was probably the bottom Of a
cycle. If this be true, then we are
now recovering from that depreS-
sion in a more fundamental way
than was the case in the mere
"bcomlets" of 1888 and 1884.
STEEL SITUATION
OF course, the unsound and
disturbing conditions created by
the New Deal must affect and
limit this recovery, but there is an
element Of real cyclical recovery
which is likely to carry through
to higher levels.
