For Young HurIers
~ the Associated Press.

BRADENTON, Fla, Feb. 19-
After getting his rockies OF on
their first workout, Manager

the opinion that his 1910 Boston
Bees Ought to make it mighty in
teresting for the folks"
The youngsters are scheduled for
twice daily workouts the next two
weeks, course of special tutoring
before the regulars take up spring
training chores March /.
"You never can tell" said Casey
Of the baby Bees. you're liable to
turn up a real prospect in these
special classes. and even If you
don't find q big Lacquer right of
the bat, it's q fine thing for the
kids and the club.
They are bound to learn some
thing that will help them step along
q little faster, and In the long run
the club will profit If the boy has
possibilities"
Stengel will be assisted by Coaches
George Kelly and Johnny Cooney
and Managers Bob Coleman Of
Evansville and Jack Onslow of Hart
ford, both Bee farms.
There were 81 rockies in camp
Sunday night, with more due.
AS for the varsity Bees. Stengel
said:
II think we will have a very in
tereStin0 team. II isn't an old hall
club. We have a lot of good ma
terial, and it is young. I wouldn't
say any position has been picked
yet. but naturally there are some
regulars who will have to be beat out
of their jobs"
Casey particularly is optimistic
over his infield.
He has Buddy Hasset and Les
Scarsella for first base, and plans
to give youthful Sebastian Sisti every
opportunity to clinch second base.
With Tony Cuccinello slated for
third base, Stengel said Henry Ma
jeski would be tried out at second
along with Sisti.
Flashy Eddie Miller is ticketed
for shortstop. with Bill Weitelmann
in competition with him.
As for the pitching staff Stengel
said he had high hopes for such
additions as Joe Callahan and
George Barnicle. who are figured to
bolster regulars like Lou Fette,
Bill Posedel and Dick Erickson.

PITTSBURGH, Feb. l9.-Heading
into what promises to be the most
lively scramble in years for starting
assignments, Pittsburghs baseball
Pirates will up-anchor this week for
their spring training base at San
Bernardino, Calf.
The first group of Pirates will roll
out Of Pittsburgh Saturday, and
Frankie Frisch, the old Fordham
flash, who took over Harold (Pie)
Traynor's job as manager, will leave
the day before.
Frisch, the last National League
manager to guide a team to a world
pennant (St. Louis, 1880, is counted
on to turn last years istless BUGS
into modern counterpart of the
old st. Louis Gas House Gang.
Competition for Old Hands.
With the infield pretty well set,
preseason fireworks will revolve
around jobs in the outfield and
behind the bat All the old hands
are back. but they'll have to fight
it out with fine-looking crop Of
rockies.
Particularly in the outer garden
is the situation changed. For the
past l3 years the Buccos haven't
had to change the right and left
field names on their scoreboards,
with the Waner brothers-Paul and
Lloyd-f1rmly entrenched. Center
f1eld was more of a problem, but
it was the rockies only hope.
This year it's different. Frisch
promises to begin workouts with a
clear track for the youngsters.
Seven outfielders are on tap and
two newcomers. Maurice Van Robays
and Bob Elliott, are expected to put
up a gallant fight for starting posts.
Besides the Waners, Fern Bell,
Chuck Klein and Johny Rizzo from
last years team are very much in
the running.
Five Seek Catching Job.
In the catching department five
are competing for the starting job.
A weak spot in 1899, it's bound to
get lot of Frisch's attention and
he declared, Our catching troubles
should be ironed out before the race
progresses far"
Backstops include Ray Berres,
Virgil Davis, Ray Mueller, Joe
Schultz, jr., and George Susce.
Club President Bill Benswanger said
he believed Mueller, disappointing"
last year, would snap into form
this season."

Victory Over Wilson
byLincoIn Parkers
Will Tie TraiIers
CentruI-Tech Come Also
Figures in Possible
Runner-up Deadlock
BY ROBERT HENRY.

Possibilities of q four-team tie for
second place or a three-team tie for
third place loom in the interhigh
basket ball title series scheduled to
end playoff qualifications tomorrow
afternoon when Eastern meets
Woodrow Wilson and Central plays
Tech in a double header at Eastern,
starting at $3.50.
So keen has been the battling
since the series opened six weeks ago
that the only playof round certainty
is Roosevelt with Tech and Anacos-
tia definitely out. Wilson, Eastern,
Western and Central have chances
to crowd into the three remaining
places. Should Central lose to
Tech and Eastern beat Wilson, all
four will finish with 500 averages.
Should Central win and Eastern
lose, however, the playof berths will
be settled with Central, Wilson and
Western moving in. Should Central
and Eastern both win, Central will
hold q clear claim to second place
and a playof post-and Eastern,
Wilson and Western will be tied for
third place.
Only Roosevelt's Slate Clean.
Only Roosevelt completed its
schedule without losing. The first
big upset occurred when Central
beat Eastern a month ago. A week
later Wilson scored mild surprise
by whipping Western. Eastern, de-
Tending champion, then suffered its
second upset defeat by losing to
Tech, and Anacostia beat Tech for
another unexpected result. Last
Friday Wilson bowed to Central to
the amazement of all.
Both Central and Eastern must
be conceded an edge in tomorrow's
games, although an Eastern loss
would not be too shocking. Central
figures to beat Tech off its winning
effort against Wilson, which had
no trouble stopping the Manual
Trainers Eastern. better now than
its been all season. rates several
points above Wilson, which has
slipped somewhat.
Central will take the court against
Tech with Charley Kligman, Teddy
Thomaides. Sam Di Blasi, Morris
Bisker and Jesse Mandes. Harry
Martin and Benny Steiner also fig
ure to see action. The Manual
Trainers have Jackie Walsh, Dutch
Teeple, Buddy Webb, Marshall Del
1inger and Shrimp Brewer ready to
start.
High Scorers Clash.
Several outstanding players will
take the court in the Wilson, East
ern game and each is among the
Districts high scorers. Gene Cowd-
rey, Moke Macdonald and Jordan
Bentley make up Wilson's big three,
with Bart Fugler and Chris Co.
lumbus backing them. Bob Gus
ter, who has been the mainstay for
Eastern throughout the season,
heads the Lincoln Parkers' lineup
and Moe Schulman and Joe Essex
helping out should tally often. Neil
Craig and Bill Erhardt will start
at the guard posts.
Several non-title games also are
on tomorrow's program and each
figures to provide action aplenty.
At $3.50, st. Albans plays host to
Woodward and Friends invades
Rockville. At o'clock Washington
Lee entertains Bethesda-C Chevy
Chase in return engagement of
an earlier game at Bethesda, which
the Virginians won.

to German army invasion of

The Berlin announcement said
battleshlp of the Warspite (or
Queen Elizabeth class had been
sent down in flames off the Nor
Wegian coast by German air bonn
bers. IF confirmed, it would be the
first capital ship ever sunk by air
planes. The British admiralty re-
fused TO comment.
AS the Germans mopped up in
central Norway the battle of Narvik
appeared to be a decisive one for
the Allies. If they win that north
ern port, they will have regained
some of the prestige lost in central
and southern Norway and the hard
pressed Norwegian forces will be
encouraged TO continue their re-
Sistance.
Britons waited for news of Narvik
with the greatest anxiety. The life
of Neville Chamberlain govern
ment may depend upon its out
come.
The attitude of the opposition
was best expressed by a national
liberal member of parliament, Glenn
cnt Davies, in a jibe at Chamber
iain's remark that Hitler had
missed the bus" Davies said:
Hitler too often takes a Taxi"
The Norwegians continued their
weakening resistance to the Ger
mans in the eastern and central
parts OF the country, but the COM
mand north of Trondheim gave up
hopeless struggle and concluded
an armistice.
Germany advanced the idea that
Britain, baked in the north, is
about to spread the war to new
front, perhaps in the Mediterranean
or the Balkans. The press said
Germany is ready and that Italy
will be with the Germans.
The tone of the Italian press was
Warlike. The ultra Fascist II Tevere
said Italy, with 100000 soldiers

LOS ANGELES, May a. CUPJ-
A suit on file in superior court
today attacked the aims of an

The suit alleged the trustees of
the organization promoting the re-
call of Gov. Culbert Olson intend
ed to use the recall as a cudgel to
hold over the governors head in
furthering their individual finan-
cial interests.
The six persons who filed the
suit alleged that the trustees of
the recall movement planned to
file sections of the recall petition
in less densely populated counties
at intervals, widely enough separ-
ate to keep the movement alive
without precipitating an actual cleo
ton.
