one on to more than cancel.
For Brooklyn, though, the most
encouraging phase of the game was
the way old Tex Carleton tightened
up after bad start. He shut out
the Bees for the last eight innings,
tanning six and never giving a base
on balls.
Giants at Last Win.
The New York Giants finally won
their first game of the season, 10,
at the expense of the Phillies, with
Harry Gumbert pitching four-hit
ball. Kirby Higbe, who had stuffed
"a three-hitter down the Giants
opening day, allowed five this time,
but gave eight passes and forced the
only run of the game across with a
walk in the seventh.

Well, as of this date, he still

He went into yesterdays game

It's Routine for Paul.
This was just routine chore
soon to be forgotten by the lean,
tanned little Oklahoman who led
the National League in batting four
different years and probably holds
more hitting records than any other
player now active in his league.
But the day before he also was
sent into a game with the Cubs as
a pinchhitter and on that occasion,
his first time at bat this year, de-
livered a double that figured in a
3-run rally and 9-5 victory. That
was the 2,8O0th hit of his major

For Third Win
Over Yanks
Connie Praises Mccoy
As He and SteneeI
Loud Recruits
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR.,

Associated Press Sports WRITER.
NEW YORK, April "A couple
of incorrigible optimists are convey
ing the youth movement around the
major leagues these days and 1t
may be they have something to back
up their optimism.
They are 77-year-old Connie
Mack, who has been in baseball
long enough to lose any illusions he
might have had, and Casey Stengel,
who is at his best when making
lugIbrlous remarks about his teams
in way that brings down the house
with laughter.
They're in town today with a
couple of youthful ball clubs to
play the Yankees and Dodgers, re-
spectively. Already Mack's young
men have beaten the world cham
pions twice, blanking them 80 yes
terday, and Casey's Boston Bees,
though beaten, 8-3, were the first to
score against Brooklyn since the
season started.
Expect to Get Much Better.
The point to their statements,
however. is that they both expect
their teams to be a lot better in
another season or so.
Mack, maintaining more firmly
than ever that the Yanks aren't in
vlnclble, doesn't think his Athletics
are the team that will beat them
this year.
MY boys are a year or two away"

are considered fine prospects. and
First Baseman Dick Siebert has be-
come dangerous hitter.
Stengel Likes OutfieIders,
Stengels ideas about the Bees
might be an echo of Mack's remarks
with new names inserted. He tells
about Bob Loane and Chet Ross.
rookie outfielders, who team up with
the youthful Max West.
Lots of people say they aren't
ready for the majors yet" Casey
said. That's what they said about
West when he came up, and Max
was good enough to keep some own
ers and managers up nights last
winter trying to make q deal for
him.
Ross is a big guy who may be
real slugger. The other kid Is a
fancy outfielder who already has
made some amazing plays in CEN

Stengel also foresees a bright fu-

Sisti, and has hopes for some of his
young pitchers like Nick Strincevich,
Dick Erickson and George Barnicle.

my own mind that we could finish

Rock Backs Cronin's
Spring Predictions
In Beating Mats
y Q Staff Correspondent Of The Star.

By Staff Correspondent Of The Star.
BOSTON, April 24-The Amer
lean League pennant race scarcely is
. week old, less postponements, and
already the pennant bug is buzzing
In Beantown.
The Red SoX, with a 7-to-2 victory
over the Nationals yesterday, are
pacing the circuit and, at long last,
they proceed in their quest of Bos-
tons first flag since 1918, with evi-
dence that at least one young hurler
may come through.
HIS Is Maurice Mickey Harris.
22-year-old southpaw attempting to
negotiate. in one jump, the gap
between the Eastern League and the
majors. Harris making his big
league debut, turned back the Mats
with seven hits and, as the Yankees
were losing and the Indians were
idle, pitched the Red Sox into
undisputed possession of first place.
Cronir Called the Turn.
This young southpaw, Harris, may
well bear watching. A year ago he
was pitching for Scranton, virtually
unknown and unheralded He won
II, lost only 4, and led the circuit
in strikeouts with 147. Yet, despite
his record, he appeared to be no
important figure in the 1910 Amer
ican League race.
Today, however. Mickey is cock
O the walk in this sector. Ever
since the Red Sox went into spring
training at Sarasota, Fla, the Sox,
particularly Manager Joe Cronin,
have been touting Harris.
1T doesn't add up" Cronin said
one day in Tampa, "but this kid
looks like he's ready to make the
jump. He's got plenty of stuff and
plenty of confidence. He's like Ted
Williams; he knows he's good and
he acts like it,"
Harris Surprise Starter.
Mickey was surprise starter
yesterday. It was Bob Groves turn
to pitch, but the weather was too
bad for old folks. Instead, Cronin
unclaimed Harris and his perform
ance was even better than the box
score shows.
The longest stretch of pitching
done by Mickey prior to yesterday
was five innings. For six rounds
Mickey shut out the Mats. not that
it is any great feat. and gave only
two hits. In the last three innings
he tired, which isn't surprising, and
allowed five hits and both of the
Washington runs. He famed eight,
including Jimmy Wasdell three
times.
The Sox, in the meantime, were
teeing up and going for distance
against Dutch Leonard and Ale
jandro Carrasquel. Boston made
only eight hits but three were home
runs - well-socked blows by Will
liams, Finney and Jimmy Foxx.
Carrasquel took over the pitching
in the fifth, just long enough to
pitch Foxx a home-run ball with
mate on base, and there was the ball
game beyond reach.
Today the Griffmen were to try
to win with Joe Haynes pitching
for the first time. The Red Sox
we're to counter with Grove, who
shut out the Mats on opening day
in Washington with two hits.

applications fall into contrasting

The administration has to shoulder
a new and serious responsibility. It
must avoid Withholding a valuable

Air-Minded Alaskan City
Gets Army Flying Base

With plans reported under way to
begin work on u. S. army air base
near Fairbanks, Alaska, a new kind
of boom is in prospect for this for
mer gold-mining camp of Uncle
Sans Far Northwest. The Gold
en- Heart of Alaska" Fairbanks is
set almost exactly in the geograph-
&c center of the territory. Already
it is reached by railway, motor
road, and air service.
More than 80 planes come and
go at the local airport of this little
town, whose population is estimated
to be little more than 1000. One
of the more dramatic activities of
the pilots is to deliver by parachute
supplies of bread, bacon and beans,
mail and medicines to gold miners
working in the vicinity.
Fairbanks was born of gold fever
in 1902, when an old prospector
named Pedro stuck it rich along
the creek which now bears his
name. Today Fairbanks is still q
growing town, no longer entirely de-
pendent on its major industry of
gold mining. AS the metropolis for
a vast hinterland it is an important
trading center, as well as headquar-
tiers for rising lumber business,
and something of a mecca for sum-
mer tourists.
Telephones, telegraph, electricity
and radio, together with a hospital,
chamber of commerce, schools,
churches and clubs, indicate an &C.
tive civic life that bellies its size.
1t is expected that the new army
air base will add some $500 people
to the city's census figures, and
make air-minded Fairbanks a CEN
ter for nearly 1000 more planes.

Bad Men of Today
Are Not So Tough
Former wo-Gun Sheriffs
Sheer at Gangsters.

CONCONULLY, WASH.-To a pair
OF chip-jawed sheriffs of the day of
the Observation-Disclosures" today's gang
sters and bad men wouldn't rate
second glance.
Bad Bills? Humph, they're Sweet
Williams" say these two men in
whose day the usual historian of a
gun duel between the law and the
outlaw was the man who was fastest
with the gun.
Both ex-Sheriff George Tindall and
his successor, Fred Thorp, rate as
historians.
Tindall, a native of Oregon, began
his career as an officer in 1887 when
he was a deputy sheriff and u. S.
marshal. In 1902 he became sheriff
here and that year was the begin
ming of the end of horse thiefs and
cattle rustlers in this territory.
Fred Thorp was his successor and
he is the man known all over the
Northwest as the sheriff that brought
in his man, dead or alive
When Tindall assumed Office the
average population of this region
was one person per square mile
a situation that made cattle rustling
a profitable affair.
A conviction of a charge of cattle
thievery was hard to obtain, some
old pioneers even alleging that many
juries had members that were
mixed up in the rustlings.
But 10 months after election, Tin
dali had changed the complexion
somewhat. leaning with fighting
prosecutor, Tindall brought about
conviction and prison terms for q
men in that time-a record never
equalled.
Probably the high point of the
sheriff's career was the cattlemen
and sheepmen war. 1t began when
Tindall aided in the arrest of one
wild Bill'' Hughes, a reported muir
derer.
A deputy sheriff was shot the next
night, supposedly by a friend Of
Hughes-and the war was on.
When the war had quoted down,
Tindall left office and Thorp became
sheriff. He was quiet but Of frmer
clay than the hardest criminal In
the West
A peace-loving man on the sur
face, Thorp was known as man
who could-and did-fight it out If
need be.
While his career lacked some Of
the color that filled the term in
office of his predecessor, Thorp joins
with Tindall in contempt for present
day criminals.
