Mats Seen ScrumbIing
For Fourth Place
By GRANTLAND RICE.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March
81 (N.AN.AD.-It is betraying no
state secret to announce the
Yankees, up and down the line,
expect to make it five straight.
Having dragged this information
from their willing tongues, we also
discovered just how their consensus
ranked the other teams. Boiled
down it amounts to this-Boston,
second; Cleveland. third, and after
this a close scramble among De-
troit, Washington and Chicago.
They gave the Athletics a chance
to break into this group, but they
look for their main trouble from
Boston and Cleveland
AS one of the veterans said; The
Red Sox have as much power as We
have. If young Di Maggie comes
through and lives up to promise,
they may have even more power.
We have the edge in defense, and
we have bigger edge in pitching.
That's where the main margin is
We have veteran pitchers ready to
60 again and we have young pitch
ers who will be even better than
they were last year"

DecIores Yankee Spirit
Hos to Remoin Hiqh

"What about that so-called will
to VIM" I asked. you've won four
pennants and the Red Sox are
hungry for that World Series split"
"I'll still match Yankee spirit
against any team in baseball" he
said. Its just that kind of team.
You have to hustle for Joe Nc
Carthy or you move along to an
other town.
"If the Red Sox had two more
good pitchers it would be much
closer. But they haven't got en-
THAT Bob Feller keeps Cleveland
up there" another Yankee said.
Move Feller over to the Red Sox
and we might have more trouble.
A lot more trouble. A guy like Eel
Ter, who can win around 25 games,
stops any slump. He steps in, usual
ly wins, and there's another start.
Feller means to Cleveland what
Dean once meant to st. Louis-what
Carl Hubben once meant to the
Giants. That kid is great pitcher.
He should be better this year, for
he has a better curve ball and bet
ter control. He knows more about
his job. With any luck he might
easily win 80 games this season.
1--WE figure Boston and Cleveland
are the teams to beat"

Catcher Diokey Greatest
Asset to Yonkees

"Ili tell you the tough spot on
the Yankees" another veteran from
another club told me. Its that fell
low Bill Dickey. I don't mean his
hitting or his mechanical catching.
But Dickey has been out there IL
years. He is one of the smartest
men baseball ever knew. He knows
the strength and weakness of every
batter IN the American League.
Dickey is student with a long time
memory. He can make any fair
pitcher look better than he is. Bill
keeps his pitchers pitching to weak
nesses. If they have any control at
all, they have the jump on any man
at the bat.
Look what he did with those
Yankee rockies last year-that kid
Donald with IL straight. Donald had
no experience-but Dickey did. He
turned Donald into veteran
pitcher. Donald is good, but he
wouldn't have been that good with
most catchers.
II don't think many outsiders know
the value of great catcher A smart
catcher can be a big part of any
pitching staff. A smart pitcher won't
need smart catcher so much. But
young pitcher will. And so will
thrower."

Griffmen Will Be Better,
Joe Mccarthy Ayers

washington will have a much
better team this year" Joe Nc
Carthy cut in "Bucky Harris has
a good, young hustling outfit, with
some pretty good pitching to bank
on. They might be surprise"
What about Detroit?" I asked
the Yankee manager.
"a lot will depend on Gehringer
There's grand ball player, one OF
the best of all time. AS you know
he has been troubled with his back
If Gehringer isn't right, it won't be
so good. You can't replace Gehr-
ingers.
Those White Sox will win lot
of games" Mccarthy continued
'They won't win any pennant, but
they'll bother you a lot. We've got
q league in which there are lot
of teams hard to beat. I mean by
that you can't beat 'em by loafing
or taking any game for granted"
might mention the fact here
that Joe Mccarthy means more to
the Yankees than many know
about. Joe is a hard loser, which
is the way any manager should be.
He is far from being any stold
phlegmatic director. / sat with him
on the bench through recent ex-
hibition game and it might just
as well have been a World Series
He was busy waving his outfielders
left or right. He was growing
when some runner missed chance
to pick up an extra base.
why don't they play percent
age?" he suddenly turned and asked
THAT guy had 10 per cent with MIN
and 80 per cent against him and
he wouldn't take the chance"
Which exactly is what Chrlsty
Mathewson told me 80 years ago
Mccarthy suffers almost as much
on the bench as George Stallings
once did-and Stallings wore the
seat out of a pair of pants almost

Second Shot al Louis
For Godoy in July
Seen on Fire
WE'LL Angles for Bout,
Using Ambers-Jenkins
Match to Lure Jacobs
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 2.-Monsieur
Armand WE'LL, better known as Al,
stuffed a fighter into each of the
upper pockets of his large checked
weskit, stuck cigar in the corner
of his mouth. and went up to trade
with Uncle Mike" Jacobs the other
day.
The reason was that Lew Jenkins,
the larruping lightweight from
Sweetwater, Tex, had just flattened
Tippy Larkin, and Uncle Mike
wanted to give him a shot at the
title held by Lou Ambers, who is
managed by NJ Armand.
In the upper left hand pocket of
the expensive WE'LL weskit. AL put
Ambers. In the upper right hand
pocket, he carefully placed Arturo
Godoy, the heavyweight, who also is
in the WE'LL corral.
WE'LL Looks for Swap.
Now Arturo fought Joe Louis a
few weeks back and went IS rounds
with the bomber. Those Is rounds
were most uncomfortable for the
heavyweight boss that evening. He
was a mighty baffled young man by
the Chilean's clowning style.
Since that time, Uncle Mike has
said he wasn't contemplating a re-
turn match for Godoy with the
Bomber. At one point, he said he
didn't like Godoy's style. The gen.
eral belief here and there, however.
is that 1t wasn't Mike so much as
Louis and his fistic family" who
wanted no more of the South Amer
ican way.
So, with Ambers in demand, WE'LL
figured he and Mike could get to-
gether on little give and take In
the mater.
Sure, I'll give you Ambers for a
May 10 or May II fight with Jen-
kins," M. Armand offered, but I
want Louis for a fight this summer
with Godoy."
July Bout Seen for Godoy.
This was a new one on Uncle
Mike, 50 he left that afternoon for
his cabana on the shores of Miami,
Beach. But before he took of, he
told WE'LL he always was willing to
trade when it couldn't do any harm
to the Jacobs pocketbook. So the
report went around today that Am
bers and jenkins would get together
In May, and that Godoy would have
his chance at the head man in July.
Louis next start is scheduled for
March % against Johnny Paychek
and his July tea party was to have
been with two-ton Tony Galento.
The chances now are that the two
ton Tony treat will be unfolded in
September, instead.
