Eddie Arcaro got a swell Christmas
present, but inside the wrapping
was a great big "if."
This is Ben A. Jones, Eddie" "
said the voice on long distance.
I'VE want you to come out to ride
Whirlaway in the 100000 Santa
Anita on March 7. Can you make it?'
"Sure, I'll be there" Arcaro re-
piled.
The "if' is that racing men may
not be successful in their efforts to
get the turf program, already can
celed, approved by defense officials
in California this winter. Arcaro
rode Whirlaway to victory in the
Kentucky Derby, the Pimlico Freak

therell be no beating him.
 The only team with a real chance to lick the Tanks is Cleveland. The Indians are g helluva ball team. Any team with Teller in there throwing for it is helluva team. He is the No. man in baseball Not only IS he great pitcher, but he is nice, quiet, boy, who minds his own bus mess and doesn't carouse. But the Indians lack the will to win"
 Boston and Detroit Haney dismiss as as teams with enough to be good but not enough to be great AS a matter of fact, in listing them above his own Browns, he didn't sound too sincere. When was in San Francisco, pretty fair judge of baseball by the name of Ty Cobb told me that the Browns would be the surprise of the American League this year. told Haney this and asked him what he thought.
 Outside Chance
 Well, he said, T gave us fifth place and that's pretty good. But to be honest with you, feel we have an outside chance to climb even higher. Flo rseveral reasons, one be- ing that our players don't have the defeatist complex anymore There was time when man landed on the Browns he figured he was about washed up and what was the use of trying. But that spirit doesn't exist any more. In the second place, we have the best defensive infield in baseball. You can't name a better one than McQuinn, Haeffnar, Der andino and Gift. Our pitchers fig ure to be pretty good, too. We'll start with Johnny Allen, Galehouse, Ostermueller, Caster, Kennedy. Auker, and a couple of boys from San Antonio, Muncrief and Newlin. Too, We have Lucadello, an infleld- CT from Toledo, a switch hitter, who can knock the cover off the ball." Haney points out that nothing is impossible in baseball. To prove it he cites what Johnny Dykes has done with the White Sox.
 There's the greatest piece of managing and making something that I have seen in baseball in twenty years. Dykes had been given credit but not enough, He's a won der"
 If the Browns finish fifth or better Dykes will have to move over and make room for another miracle man -Haney. The Browns were less than nothing when he took them over Eow-well, they're dreaming of a first division spot, and stand a good chance to make the dream come true.

Today's Sport Parade
By HENRY McLEMORE United Presses Staff Correspondent

Los Angeles, Jan. 22.-CUP)-If the American League wants to have the closest battle in it's history this year, all it has to do is to arrange for Fred Haney to be placed in charge of the draft.
 Not the baseball draft. mind you, but the selective service one.
 The first thing Haney, who, as you know, manages the St. Louis Browns, would do would be to see that Bob Teller, Hank Greenberg, Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams and Ro5o Newsome got into the army, and in hurry.
 Balance of Power
 Those are the fellows" Haney told me, who make for the balance of power in the American League. Take them off their teams and Cleveland, Detroit, New York and Boston wouldn't have a great dael on the rest of us And. if you dis tributed those players to the weak CT clubs, well, we'd be in there knocking all the way"
 On the of chance that he wouldn't be placed in charge of the draft, and that the stars named would start the 1S41 season at their old stands, asked Haney how he thought the American League would go this year; asked him to guess the October order of finish
 He gave me this lineup: New York, Cleveland, Boston, Detroit, St. Louis, Chicago, Washington and Philadelphia.
 There is only one chance to stop the Yankees" Haney said. And that's a pretty slim one. But it's a chance just the same. We must beat them to death in the spring. Get on them and lick them before they get la chance to settle down. Joe Me Carthy is bringing in lot of new players. He must experiment. If he happens to find the club that clicks during spring training, or in April
