Into First Bracket:
Mats Dropped Notch
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 13-Those
Yankees can't be so good. They
haven't convinced II baseball ex-
perts they are any better than a
second-place club. OF course the
other 66 writer's taking part in the
Associated Press poll selected New
York to finish first in the American
League, but at least it wasn't unan-
imous.
1t is pretty we'll agreed by the vot-
ers that the champions and the Bos-
ton Red Sox will finish 1-2 mean
ing the Red Sox will be No. 2. Nine
OF the dissenters placed the Red Sox
first, another liked the Cleveland
Indians for the top spot, and still
another put load on Jimmy Dykes
by naming his White Sox as the
pennant winner.
Tigers Barely Fourth.
The Yanks piled up SOS points in
the poll, based on eight points for
first place, seven for second. etc. The
Red Sox rolled up 536. which was 90
more than the third-place Cleveland
Indians. Detroit had a margin Of
only 13 points over the White Sox
for fourth place, but Washington,
Philadelphia and st. Louis won their
sixth, seventh and eighth spots
without much competition.
With the exception of New York,
which nobody dared put below Sec
ond, no club was named for less
than four places and the White Sox
were selected for ali positions but
second and eighth.
Only one transposition was made
in the order of the 1899 finish-the
placing of Detroit over Chicago.
Mats Dropped to Sixth.
incidentally, the first division
teams were named in the same or.
der as in the 1889 poll Among the
last four clubs, however, the Atf.
letics, picked to finish last in 1899,
were handed seventh place, in a
trade Of positions with st. Louis,
and Washington, picked for fifth a
year ago, was showed back to sixth.
The Browns did pretty we'll in
their unanimous last-place choice,
but 10 voters picked the Athletics
for that doubtful honor, and two
others saw Washington as the tall
ender. One voter pushed the
Browns up to sixth, and to more
than offset Washington's two last
place ballots, three voters picked
the Nationals to land in the first
division.

Fans, Win or Lose,
Griffith Claims
Predicts No High Place,
But Envisions Hustle;
Come Today OFF

Clark Griffith has changed his
preseason style Of appraising his
Washington ball club. There was a
time when he'd say the Mats had a
chance for pennant, or a first
division post, or anything else that
he thought. But this year he is
keeping his appraisal to himself.
Indeed, Griff's not even predicting
the Yankees will crack up.
But like the way this team of
mine plays ball this year and the
fans will like 1t, too, no matter how
many games we win or lose. It's a
team that's playing the hustling,
old-time Washington style"
In case anybody isn't familiar
with the "old-time Washington
style" GrifIith is willing to explain.
Boasts Five 800 Hitters.
"It's a team that runs bases and
bunts for base hits" he says. Like
the 1924 team did, you remember. I
don't know how far we'll go this
year, but the people will like the
club. They'll get a kick out of
watching Case. Walker, Lewis, Was
dell and Pofahl run the bases"
The Old Fox admits it doesn't be-
long in the same league with the
Yankees, Red Sox and Tigers as far
as power is concerned.
mo-" he says, "but we've got q
funny club. We've got five fellows
who are 800 hitters. Case always
has hit 800. So has Lewis. Last
year Travis fell down below that
figure for the first time since he's
been playing ball, but he'll be back.
Wasdell was hitting 800 for us last
year when he was sent to Mime
apolis.
"Bloodworth is a streaky hitter, but
he'll always be dangerous. Walker
is a pretty good hitter, too, and
there's Early, who may catch half
the games. Five of these fellows
will hit 300 and there aren't many
other teams going to have as many"

Associated Press Sports Writer.
NEW YORK, April 13-If you're
hooking for nice simple way to
start riot, just step up to the near
est bunch of horsemen and bring up
the subject of winter racing as
good or an evil for coming 3-year-
old gallopers.
The resultant argument may not
exactly wind up in war, but If
you're Of mind to start the thing,
always remember you're strictly on
your own thereafter.
For years, the pros and cons have
been tossing this subject around
like Babe Ruth used to pitch the
medicine ball in the spring to tighten
his tummy. Those who believe in
racing horses during the winter be-
tween their 2 and year old cam
paigns argue that a juvenile per-
former never really gets going until
the fall of his first season, and that
to put him away then for the cold
season is just undoing a lot of good
Each Side Has Argument.
They point to Lawrin, who won
the Derby two years ago after TAX
Ing the Flamingo at Hialeah, and to
Black Gold, who turned the trick IA
years before that. They contend
that's pretty good average, since
it's only a comparatively short time
since winter racing amounted to
more than nickels worth, and they
shout that this year you're going to
see something from such of the re-
cent California and Florida CAM
paigners as Woof Woof and Sweep
ida, Prompt Pay, Midland, Chatted
and the fillies, Little Risk and
Augury.
The other side. such authorities as
Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons, hee-haw at
this theory. They argue that you're
wearing your youngster out running
him over the winter-that, if you've
q mind to point him for the big g.
year-old stakes, you're not giving
him a chance to grow up right. Their
contention is that winter galloping

fingers of one hand-and still have
enough left over to pick up the din
ner check-the number of such
gallopers that amounted to anything
as 3-year-olds.
Chance to Test Theories.
Well, from the looks of things,
both sides are going to have
chance to test their theories this
year. Opposing such of the nom
Yinter hopefuls as Bimelech and
Andy K. are eight or a dozen of
the California and Florida fellows
and lassies who looked. as though
they might have the stuff.
There's Woof Woof, the Jock
Whitney colt who isn't eligible for
the Derby, but who won the mile
and-eighth Flamingo hands down
in 1905 this year and will try
against Bimmie and Andy K. in the
1zeamess and Belmont. On the
