StengeI Proud of Bees
New Swutsmiths
BY JOHN LARDNER,

optCldl Correspondent OF ! He quar-.
BRADENTON, Fla, March 13-
Casey Stengel stretched an ear to-
ward the batting cage, where his
Boston Bees were cudgeling the ball
In turn.
Boff! Boff! Boff!
Il must have the wrong ball club"
said Casey, puzzled. This must be
the Red Sox. Boy, take a letter to
Joe Cronin. Tell him to give me
back my hitless wonders and take
these murderers off my hands,"
Boff! Boff! Boff!
That killer over there" said Mr..
6tengel, pointing at a big fellow
whose pants dropped halfway down
his legs, lis AL Simmons. They had
to get him out of the American
League because he was killing too
many inflelders. I remember this
ball club now. It is, indeed, the
Boston Bees, my own Bees, but they
have turned caveman on me over
the winter. Remember my Bees last
year?"
1t was easy to remember the Bees
of last year, and the year before
that. Good field, no hit. A base on
balls was a savage Boston rally in
1898.

Betting Strength Is Added
To Pitching and Fielding

Winding up in fifth place last
year. the Bostons had tight fielding
and crafty pitching. This year, they
will have more batting strength.
They couldn't have much less
The potential infeld of Hassett,
Cuccinello, Warstler and Hill is i'm
proved in two spots. Aloysius Sim
mons will give the outfleld added
power, if he plays regularly, and
Mr.. Stengel VOWS that he will. AL
Todd, imported from Pittsburgh to
reinforce Catcher Alfonso Lopez,
hits long and savage ball.
Boff!

Boff
That's Hassett," said Mr.. STEM
gel. He'll kill somebody some day."
Boff
That's Max West" said Mr.. STEM

Danny MacFayden. Jim Turner Lou
Fette, John Lanning and Bill Shoff-

I don't think the team will ad-

If one of the leaders, the Giants,
for instance, collapses.
Meanwhile, boff! Boff Boff!

Casey Wonders If It's Sofe
To Turn His Gono Loose

well. we call 'em by the same
name this year." said Manager
Stengel, stroking his chin, but the
club is nothing but a mass of mus
cles. wonder sometimes If it ain t
unsafe to loose these boys against
those innocent Giants and those
anemic Cubs. Somebody will get
killed.
1--WE don't allow no busher on the
team this year that didn't lead his
league in hitting last season. That's
the password. There's a boy that
hit 400 in the whoozis league. That
young man assaulted the ball for
800 in the three-X league. Say,
son." said Mr.. Stengel, halting a
passing rookie, what did you hit
last year? Honest injun, son?"
II. hit .3l1," said the youth.
"See, what did I tell you?" said
Casey, rubbing his hands with de-
light. Nothing but murderers on
this club. No doubt this splendid
young athlete led his league, into
the bargain"
"I finished fifth" said the man
from the bush.
"Tsk, tsk!" said Mr.. Stengel, dis
appointed. He shook his head.
Then he frightened. "Oh, well, we
prob1y got the four boys that fin
ished ahead Of him, right here on
this same ball club. That's what
I mean by mass power"
It's fact that the feeble Pees
dredged the minor leagues for hit
ters this last winter. Mr.. Stengel
exaggerates, all right, but not too
much. Johnny Hill, Irish Indian
from Atlanta, Ga, who is striving
for the regular third base post, led
the Southern Association with 1888.
Ralph Hodgin and Otto Huber, out
fielder and inflelder from Evans
vile, Ind, hit 1923 and .311, respec-
lively. Mcleod. an outdelder from
Hartford, hit 1882, and Andrews and
Masi, catchers, hit .304 and 1903.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9 -Ohic- CTS of the American Olympic Committee said Hans Osten is not empowered to cancel the win ter Olympics but could merely re ject them in Germany's behalf and return them to the Interna- tional Olympic Committee.
 However, since the games must be held during l940 and scheduled in February, it is ex- tremeiy doubtful that the IOC will be able to award them to any other country in time for that country to make adequate preparations.
