Reds Slab Stuff Looks
To Be Best in League
BY GRANTLAND RICE,
&neria1 Corresnopdept ~ Tho Star

NEW YORK, April 80 (NA.NA).
With the stuff Gene Thompson OF
the Reds produced last fall and
with the big improvement he has
shown this spring, Cincinnatis Reds
should have the best pitching staff
in the National League and one of
the best in baseball.
Thompson. a 190-pound 6-footer,
won't be % years old until early
June. He has picked up the expert
ence he needed a year ago when he
won 13 games and dropped only S.
AS he looks today young Gene not
only will figure higher up in the
winning column; but also he will
help remove some of the pressure
from Derringer and Walters, the two
Red aces. These two, aged 33 and
80, look to be as good as ever. They
may not bag any So victories, but
they'll win plenty.
Whitley Moore can be as good a
pitcher as he wants to be. He
should be much more useful than
he was year ago when he won 13
and lost u games with pennant
winner.
Johnny Wander Nicer still is the
problem child. Since he pitched
his two no-hitters in succession in
1888, Wander Nicer has won only 10
games against 10 losses. He prac-
tically was no help at all last season.
There is no reason in sight why at
the age of 25 he shouldn't get
Strengthened out soon to get going
again.
=. Every one knows that Mandarin
Bill McKechnie is top master in
the art of handling pitchers. He
should have better staff this sea-
son than he had last wear.

Fur Confident Route
Will Favor Him Over
Mcdowell Tonight
Opponent Roted Choice,
Though, in Veterans
Win-or-Quit Bout

Phil Furr is ready to stake the last
shred of his once rich ring career
on his trusty right mitt against the
strong, durable legs of Wild Bill Nc
Dowell tonight when they tangle in
a 12-round feature bout at Turner's
Arena.
Outpointed by the clever Texan in
their first meeting over the l0-round
route, Furr must win or 60 to the
foot of the class. 1t SINNERS down
to a victory or the gate" for the
colorful veteran. The wagering is
81 on Mcdowell.
Furr floored his opponent for a
brief count in their first encounter,
connecting with solid right to the
head midway in the argument, but
Mcdowell came back with two
fisted attack that completely erased
the knockdoWn and won a clear-cut
decision. There were many who
thought Furr earned at least a draw
on the strength of the knockdown,
but the judges couldn't see it that
way.
Furr is counting on the two added
rounds to give him another opening
at McDowell's clean-shaven jaw. He
honestly believes the longer distance
will favor him, but neutral observers
are unanimous in the opinion that
Wild Bills superior legs will carry
him to victory even more decisive
over the longer distance. Mcdowell
hankering for a real payoff bout,
also would like to put the chill on
Phillip for the sake of his wavering
prestige. SO Phil may go out tonight
completely and flnally-on board.

Washington public links golfers
will qualify for the national cham
pionship on familiar territory this
year. They went to Baltimore to
qualify last year on the Mount
Pleasant course, where later the
national title tourney was played.
Tommy Doerer, East Potomac

been designated the Washington

boys, today announced that East
Potomac Park has been chosen as
the scene of the sectional qualifica-

Three public links golfers from
Washington will qualify sectionally
for the national tourney, which will
be played July 22-27 over the course
of the Rackham Golf Club at De-
troit. Andy Szwedko. the burly
Pittsburgh pipe mill worker, won the
title last year over Baltimore's
Mount Pleasant course.

be staged for the Baltimore public
links boys between July 5 and 8.

the future will alternate between
Washington and Baltimore. Pres

d. c. Meet to Be Separate.
Doerer does not plan to run of
the local municipal championship
for the S. G. Leoffler Trophy at the

for the national tourney. He will
hold separate affair, probably in

play. Andrew Oliveri won the crown
last year for the second time.
Lanky Roy Smith. a North Caro-

The feeling persists in pro circles

wasn't generally known around
