Tanks To Repeat, But Cards Picked Over Reds |1s
World Champs Are Too Well
 Balanced For
 Fiery Red Sox
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

New York April 15-Only long shot stabbers arc picking the Boston Red Sox to beat out the New York Yankees in the American League this season.
 The St. Louis Cardinals to this observer appear a much better bet to get to the wire in front of the Cincinnati Reds in the National.
 Once more it looks like two- club races in both majors, a. though there is a chance of the senior circuit having another of its mad September Scrambles :. with the rejuvenated Pittsburgh Pirates and the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Chicago Cubs figuring in the firing.
 At this writing, the Cleveland Indians form the only other junior loop outfit possessing the poten- tiaities 70 stir up great deal of trouble for the Yankees and Red Sox.
 So here's our offside prediction of the final standings in both wheels:

Bees Sting Red Sox,
 7-3, For Hub Title

Boston, April 15-(UP)-The Bos- ton Bees, city champions, were to hold final workout today before starting their National League sea- son against the Brooklyn Dodgers here tomorrow. Bill Posedel, former Dodger, was Manager Casey Sten- gels choice to hurl the opener.
 The Bees clinched the series by scoring an impressive "a win over the Boston Red Sox before 10000 chilled fans at Fenway Park yes- terday. Max West, Bee outfielder paced the attack with a homer and single. His circuit clout in the first inning carried 425 feet into the right field section rebuilt for Ted Williams. The city rivals split even in two Florida games.
 The Red Sox left last night to open their campaign against the Senators at Washington tomorrow Either veteran southpaw Bob Grove or Emerson Dickman will pitch for Boston. :.

New York, April 15-(UP)-The Millsdale stables Andy K., hard luck juvenile of 1889, may become the horse of the year of 194O or he may never win another race. The tall son of Jack High can run far enough to win the Kentucky Derby and he can run fast enough, but not even his owners are certain he can run straight enough.
 Last season Andy K. suffered from weak right ankle, an ailment which caused him to SWerve and bear out in the stretch. Although he didn't exactly turn cart-wheels, he nevertheless spun himself out of at least thre certain victories and probably $7O,0O0 in purses. Instead of finishing the year as juvenile champ, the best he could get was second behind Bimelech. And, at odds of 10-1, that is still his position in the winter. books today-second choice to win the Derby.
 The record books show that last year Andy K won two races, placed in two and showed in two more out of nine attempts for earnings oi $43,36O. Hiswinnings totaled almost 10 times the $4,7OO paid for him at Saratoga yearling sales by Anthony Pelleteri and Mel Emerich of New Orleans, his co-owners. But if it hadn't been for the colts swerving habits. the record would have been different.
 Can't Stay Straight
 Andy's bad luck was phenomenal He was disqualified once out of a minor prize and again out of the $10,OO0 United States Hotel stakes He drifted wide in the Saratoga Spe- cial and the Hopeful to lose what ever chance he may have had Then. to make the run complete, he stumbled at the start of the biggest prize of all-the' Belmont Futurity and never managed to reach the Contention.

.1S4O BASEBALL SEASON OPENS;
 PITCHERS SHAKY
Mad Scramble Seen in Na= tiOnal League Race; :. Cards Team to Fear
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

NOnlted freSS Stan COrreSpOndentl
 New York, April IS = (U.P3 - One more. srndown and the 16 ma jor league clubs will be of in their twin derbies which wind up late next September. Both races are fraught with possibilities. The Tanks are not the cinches the old guard is trying to make them out The National League race is defn- itely an omelet in which many chefs will have a finger.
 Many unexpected returns may come in early because the ball clubs are far from being in shape to open the season. Some of the athletes. especially pitchers, won't be ready for coup of weeks. The inclement weather has upset the plans of many pilots. Ill yesterdays exhibition games some of the man. agers had four and five pitchers ir. action ill order to give as many fingers as possible their final preps.
 High spots of the opening day program will be at Washington where the Red Sox battle the Sen. ators with President Roosevelt ir attendance; It Philadelphia where the four-time champion Yankees will begin the quest of their fifth in row against the Athletics: and at Cincinnati where the Reds begin the defense of their National League title against the Cubs.
 Latest Odds
 As the sixteen clubs get ready to go to the post, here's the final call over:
 AMERICAN. LEAGUE
 Yankees, 2-1. Champ until beaten, Same clubs with more pressure on veterans Dickey, Rufdng, Gomez and Crcsetti. "
 Red Sox, 9-2. Danger, pitching and defense, pitching and defense improved. Best punch.
 Indians, 8-1. No weakling, in- field patched up at second.
 Tigers, 10-1. Money chance. Su- perior power. Weak in infield.
 White Sox, 15-1. Outclassed. Pi- lot Dykes has hands full.
 Senators, 3O-1. Could surprise. Goo dspeed. Need more pitching.
 Athletics, 50-l. Must show more. Pitching weakest. Fair punch.
 Browns. 100-1. Doomed. Better de- fense but woefully weak in box.
 ATIONAL LEAGUE
 Reds, l1-5. \ Given preference. Pitching strongest. Best pilot. Good balance. ,..
 Cardinals, 11-5 One to fear Long on power. Serious infeld problems. Cubs, 5-1. Shaky. Spirit and tear..- work lacking but Bryant and Dean could make them dangerous.
 Dodgers, .5-1. Hard to figure. Pitching and defense good attack. Needs EolStering.
 Giants, 7-1. Darkhorse. Loaded wthi ifs but might become inspired by Hubbel's comeback.
 Pirates, 10-1. Possible surprise. Hustle and punch may offset weak pitching and catching. ~,
 Bees, SOL. Pass this. Weak in outfield and second. Pitching only fair.
 Phillies, 1oo-1. Hopeless. Need plenty of everything.

 New York, April ,15-(JP)-Carl L. Storck, who knows as much about professional football and eat ing candy as anyone in the world, will rule. the National Football League for another year. ,
 Storck, who has been acting pres ident of the circuit since the death of Joe Carr last May, was elected unanimously to the presidency for one year at the final session of the leagues 21st annual meeting Sum- day.
 Contrary to report that he would not accept the office for such short period, Storck insisted that the term be no longer because of his increasing business duties.
 Consuming all but a few pieces in the bottom layer of five pound box of chocolates he brought to the opening session of the league Fri day, the Stccky Storck declared:
 q will continue to carry on and give the league my best efforts. It is likely that will retain the pres ident's office in my home at Day. ton, O."
 Marshall Seeks New Faces
 Election of Storck followed a viz -orous pre-meeting campaign by George Preston Marshall, owner and president of the Washington Red- skins, to clean house and install a new regime.
 Marshall took the election of Storck gracefully, declaring, "as long as Storck is president, he has my whole-hearted support, but do not think he is the man best suit ed to the job"
 Storck's salary was. withheld. He received $10,000 last year as acting president, vice-president and treas urer. It was assumed that he was given an increase. Dennis Shea, business manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers. was elected for one year as vice president and treasurer: a joint title that Storck enjoyed un- der Carr. ,,,
 The 44-year old Storck also was named chairman of the executive committee, which included Marshall and Bert Bell of the Philadelphia Eagles, representing the Eastern Division of the League; L. H. Joannes of Green Bay, Wis, and Charles Bidwill, Chicago Cardinals representing the West. For the first time this committee was given the job of naming officials for games Previously it had been the duty ot the president.
