Los Angeles, Feb. 18.-(UP)-Thert Is one group of baseball "old guards who have no idea of dying, surren' dering, or even falling back before the onrush of youngsters who want their jobs.
 They are the veterans of the New York Yankees-such men as Dickey Rolfe, Crosetti and Ruffing - men whose brilliance carried the club tc four consecutive world champion ships before 1t collapsed to third place last year.
 My authority for the valor of the Yankee veterans is Joe Gordon, who while he is only 26 and has been with the Tanks but three years, is one of the veterans who will have to battle for jobs in spring training camp. En route to the Yankee camp in St. Petersburg, Joe stopped here long enough to talk a little baseball and play a little golf with me.
 We're going to have red-ho' spring workout, you can bet on that Joe said. MT. Barrow and Joe Me- Carthy have brought in all the young talent from the minors, and il is going to be free e-for-all fight fol positions. But don't sell us short until the kids prove they can beat us playing baseball Take Dickey, fol example. Bill got of wrong last year and never did get strengthened out but I'd bet you hell catch a hun dred games and bat over three hun- dred. And that Crosetti. I've been alongside him for three years, and he still is the best defensive short stop in the American League. roomed with Rolfe last year and know what gave him a bad year His tonsils were bad and they both- cred his eyes. He used to get up ir the morning and could scarcely see He has had the tonsils out and hell be all right And when he's right where you gonna get better thirc baSeman? Or one as good?
 Joe made it clear that he wasn't knocking the youngsters who were coming up. I asked him about Jerry Priddy, the Kansas City flash who'll be gunning for Joe's second bast job, and his sidekick, Phil Rizzuto the shortstop.
 RiZzutO Red Hot
 Great ball players. Both ol them. I know Priddy well. playee on team with him in Los Angele! in 1885, when he was still in higf school and I was in use. He car do everything. He's a great fielder

In the first place, the winner of the main bout may get a chance to try out the Cocoa Kid of New Ha- ven which is why Carroll, in par- ticular, is training hard with Light weight Champion Lew Jenkins, his pal, as the Canadian has heard of the fine impression that Doug Marsh has made in this territory and wants to become regular per- former up this way throughout the forthcoming outdoor season, as he has already heard that Waterbury outdrew any city in Connecticut last season with its outdoor boxing shows.
 All Set.
 Suggs is the son of the former ring star, Chick SuggS, who will be on hand with his boy while Doty's last showing here, though losing one to Jimmy Bell, indicates that he will provide the New Bedford Negro with keen opposition from the opening bell. The latter has been boxing in New York and has done real we'll for himself in recent months, under the competent ham, ding of his father.
 The other sizes will show Dula Kovach, the Naugatuck light heavy weight, pitted against Tony Gillo of New Haven; and Maxie Katz, Waterbury middleweight, will clash with Ralph Torrens of New York.
