Managers Are Fovored
For Infield Posts

There is not much to cavil at in
the rest of Gabby's choices, even for
a hot stover. They all did time
in the National League, and they all
were good.
The picker gives the nod to
fellow foreman, William Harold
Terry, at first base, and another
overseer, Pie Traynor, at third, and
still another pilot-until recently
at second, in the person of Francis
Frisch. This may seem like log
rolling in the ranks of the mana
gers marching and choWder club.
but where can you find better Ma
tional League inflelders, in the last
IS years, than Terry, Frisch and
Traynor?
For an outdeld, Mr.. Hartnett gives
you Joe Medwick, Chick Hafey and
Pep Youngs. That's a good one.
Hafey was one of the finest all
around outfielders in National
League history, and Medwick rap
idly is mauling his way to a place
among the great right-hand hitters
Of all time. didn't see much Of
Youngs myself, and I might be
tempted to give the edge in right
field to Paul Waner, for his fine
defensive work and lofty lifetime
batting average, but who is picking
this team, Hartnett or me? And
who the heck sits closer to the field
Of play? All right, all right, skip it.
Gabby's pitchers are Dean and
Hubbel. He gives the edge to Dean,
and, there again, it's all the point
OF view. At his peak, perhaps, the
Diz was more effective than Hubbell.
But Hubs peak is nothing to sneeze
at, and he held it, man and boy, for
nigh onto 10 years. Dizzys span as
a regular starter in the major
leagues has been, up to date, about
five years. and even during that
time he was not always effective.
/ like the southpaW, myself.
But, if you think I am knocking
Hartnett's selections, you haven't
heard anything yet. His all-star
catcher-get this-is fellow named
Mancuso. Where do you think he
has been all these years?
Mine is a fellow named Hartnett.

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 10.-A four
way battle for the Southern Con-
ference boxing championship was
in prospect today as Clemson's de-
Tending titleholders, South Carolina,
Maryland and the Citadel neared
the final skirmish Of the season
in dual competition.
The meet will be held at South
Carolina February 24-25, where en-
tries from the eight loop schools
supporting ring teams will fight 1t
out.
Only two individual champions
are back to defend their crowns,
Ben Alperstein, Maryland's light
weight ace and twice N. c. A. A.
titleholder. and Harvey Ferguson,
Clemson light heavyweight.
Important scraps involving all of
the Conference squads will help
shape up the title picture tomorrow
end. Foremost among these is the
Clemson Citadel match set for
Charleston which will bring together
a half dozen potential tourney
f1nalists.
Maryland's potent team swaps
punches with Mike Romans North
Carolina club at Chapel Hill, Dukes
Blue Devils invade N. C. State and
Virginia Tech fights at Catholic U.
Clemson Record Bright.
The Clemson team, held to a A
draw by South Carolina in its only
loop appearance, has an impressive
record showing victories over Flor
ida, Georgia and Presbyterian and
a draw with Loyola Of New Orleans.
The Tigers individual stars include
hard hitting Bill Cason, who has
remained unbeaten as a middle
weight.
Maryland exhibited plenty Of
ringmanship in drawing Virginia
and Catholic U. and in trouncing
Duke. The Terps have a flashy
155-pounder in Frank Cronin, a
trackman turned boxer, who is un-
beaten.
South Carolina's best performance
of the season was the surprising
draw with Clemson. 1t climaxed
victories over Duke, North Carolina
State and Presbyterian and A
deadlock with Florida. The Came
cocks big guns included Lou Carleo,
lightweight; Allen Legare, betting
welter, and Richard Baxter, un-
beaten heavyweight.
The Citadel's well-balanced team
drubbed North Carolina and Pres
byterian and drew with Tennessee.
Leading winners are Peeler, 120;

Londos, Terror Save
Mat Regulations
In EasySN|e

Jim Londos has made 1t certain
that he is better rassler than Tom
my OToole. the handsome and en-
thusiastic Irish strongman. He put
Tommy away in A minutes with the
regular airplane spin last night at
Turner's grapple pit. A previous
meeting here between the two also
was taken by Londos when O'Toole
was unable to continue after falling
out Of the ring.
In the early going OToole forced
the fighting and clamped several
arm locks on the Gorgeous Greek.
Both were a little rough at times,
with Londos' greater experience tell
ing at last.
The Golden Terror returned to
Washington and disposed of still an
other opponent. His match lacked
the usual fireworks, as Chief Sanooke
proved no trouble. Rube Wright
won over Pete Peterson, Jack Hader
and Nick Campofreda were involved
in the weekly draw and George Pen
chef disposed of Red Ryan in the
other matches.

Crosetti Looked Greet
Over Four-Doy Span

Hartnett says Crosetti showed him
more shortstopping in the last World
Series than he ever saw before.
That probably is true, for four
day period. For four days, Crosetti
was the best shortstop I ever saw,
too. He was practically jamming
his shortstopping down Mr.. Hart
netts throat. and, If the memory is
vivid with Gabby, it must also be
pretty bitter. Wasn't 1t Crosetti, as
a matter of fact, who overlook Dizzy
Dean with the home run that broke
up the only ball game the Cubs had
a chance to win?
But those of us who watch frankie
the year around know that he isn't
quite that hot all the time. 1t
seems to me that there have been
better shortstops than Crosetti in
Mr.. Hartnett's own league, during
Gabby's term as an eyewitness in
good standing-consistently better,
If not much better.
The best I ever saw, and Gabby
must have seen him too, was Glenn
Wright. Another peach was Travis
jackson, before they moved him
over to third base. And what Of
Lippy Leoncevallo Durocher, the
fluent Frenchman, now managing
the Brooklyn club? And the Dick
Bartell of 1887? And the William
Jurges of now and then? For that
matter. would you give Arkie
Vaughan for Crosetti in straight
trade?
I think Gabby should have pa
tronized local industry, especially
in the shortstop department. If
you have to reach into the American
League for player, your man
is George H. Ruth. incidentally,
always Yankee conscious, Mr.. Hart
nett describes Joe Di Maggie as
the best ball player now doing
business.

Hortnett Too Modest
In AII-Stur Choices
BY JOHN LARDNER,

opcSidi So1IcSpOuocnL Oh Inc 6tdr.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1o.-The poet
Browning revealed himself as a
crackpot in spades when he re-
marked, apropos of nothing in par
ticular, "Oh, to be in England now
that April's there" What would
anybody want in England in April?
Do they open the baseball season
there? Positively not.
Millions of us baseball pecans are
yearning for April now, as we pick
the sleet out of our ears, and here
comes Gabby Hartnett to make
things all the tougher with his per-
sonal all-star team in the Saturday
Evening Post.
The Cubs mute manager sets out
to confine himself to National
Leaguers he has seen with his own
good eyes, but I observe that about
three-quarters of the way around
that infield he injects a shortstop
by the name of Crosetti, who never
played for any National League
worthy of the name, unless some
body has been fooling Ford Chris
topher Frick, notoriously hard
man to hoodWink,
