At Least Is Rockies Will
Make Major League Grade
BY DILLON GRAHAM
Sports Editor. APP Feature Servic

r-t=t
NEW YORK, april IA
It's bit early to venture guess
as to which rookie pitchers will
make the major baseball league
grade but you can put your fin
ger on a dozen and a half recruit
infielders, outfielders, and catch
ers who are fairly certain to
spend this summer in the big
show.
Let's look at them by clubs:
BROOKLYN-Hal Reiser from
Elmira, who played a third of
last year with the Dodgers, is
a good outfield bet.
CINcINNATI-Dick West. up
from Indianapolis, will do part
of the Reds backstopping.
PHILADELPHIA - Hard-hitting
Nick Etten is set at first base,
with Dan Litwhiler and Stan
Benjamin likely to be among
the flychasers.
ST. HOUSEWARES Cooper will
do major share of the catching,
with Steve Mesner at third
base and Harry Walker in left
field.
- The Indians are
holding Murray Howell Inter
national league batting cham
pion, for pinch-hitting purposes
and Jim Hogan likely will be
kept as catching insurance.
DETROIT-The Tigers plan to
use Ed Parsons as No. 3 catcher
and Robert N. Harris. who hit
.312 for Beaumont, may hang
on as an outfielder.
Archie.
the best fielding first baseman
in the Pacific Coast league,
apparently has cinched the post
with the Senators.
NEW YORK-It's sort of strange
to find a flock of rockies listed
as possible regulars with the
high-flying Yankees. But Joe
Mccarthy is doing an over
hauling job this spring. Phil
Rizzuto. shortstop (unless he's
drafted, and Gerald PriddY.
second base, are slated to be
infield starters. Tommy
Holmes. who hit BIT for New
ark. will be one of the outfield-
ers and may be the regular left
fielder. Infielder Lou Blair
from Newark and first base
man John Sturm from Kansas
City are likely to be carried as
utility performers, since Nc
Carthy doesn't know whether
Red Rolfe will regain his old
form at third base or whether
Gordon will be a success at
first.

Ring Up Curtain Of III
Baseball Season Today
HERE'S SURE WAY
Become President Of us.
TO TOSS FIRST BALL

CAssOciated Press Feature servicel
WASHINGTON, April 14.-The
only wild pitcher in baseball who
always gets a coveted opening
day starting assignment losses
for the Senators. He lives in an
old house at 1900 Pennsylvania
avenue. The name: President.
FDR is all warmed up and
ready TO throw. Barring sud-
Gen international developments
requiring his attention. he'll
flip out the ball starting base
balls ls4l season here today.
His throws generally are wild.
Perhaps he's just fooling the
boys. At any rate, he looks to-
ward home plate but his losses
land somewhere near first base.
While his 1941 lob is in the air
there'll be a scramble among
Senator and Yankee players,
then some obscure athlete named
Joe will grab the agate and Mr..
Will Harridges men-in-blue will
take charge and the campaign
will be under way.
No one seems to know just
how it started. this custom of
the President lending his Off
cial presence TO the annual
game. William Howard Taft
was the first Mr.. Big to take
part. That was in 1910.
Two years later Clark Griffith
came to Washington. He recog-
nized the value to the game of
the Presidents participation and
the Chief Executive has worked
every opener since.
Roosevelt the precedent-break
er will break another as tosser-
coter. This will be his eighth APP
pearance. No other President ever
performed the chore more than
seven times.
Roosevelt made the worst pitch
of his opening day career last
year, A cop finally recovered
the ball and the President auto
it for him.

HIS ROWBOAT CAPSIZED


 The most familiar story about Kimmel is the tale about his swearing off the sea forever at the tender age of Is, just after his row. boat capsized in the Ohio River. But he had to break his oath when his congressman ran out of West Point appointments. He went to Annapolis.
 Administrative genius. unsuitable curiosity about his ships. uncanny powers of observation, gunnery per lection and morale building effici- ency are Admiral Kimmel's in- visible badges of success, his mates say.
 He was slightly wounded in the 1915 Mexican trouble. He taught the British a thing or two about gunnery in the North Sea with his own range finding gadget.
 Most of his forebears are steeped in military tradition from the Revolution on down His wife's a daughter of an Admiral. Two sons are in the Navy, in the most dan gerous of posts-submarine com manders. The third has eyes too weak for sea duty.

 structions given at the take-off.
 It is entirely possible, the ex- pert tells me, that 1000 are too many planes for any one force to keep in the air at one time. A single error of a commander in the air or on the ground in the rear might wreck the entire or ganization before anybody knew what happened
 The main reason why the nu-i merical ratio of 6-to-4 is not the real ratio of air power is that the Germans still have the production edge on the British, even if you add in the 400 or more month the British are getting from the United States.
 The best reliable figures on Ger man production indicate they are turning out about 2.20O planes a month, while the British are run ming off only 1,600 Favorable fac tors for the British are that they are not supposed to have reached

their peak production of 2,400 planes a month, and that the American production figure is mounting rapidly. The experts do not expect British production. in cluding American planes, to equal German production before July l.
 Many American officials say Am erica can not help the British much this spring. Our air shipments won't come along soon enough to over come Germanys numerical advan- tage, nor soon enough to cut down her superior striking power very much.
 The spring test sinners down, then, to a question of whether a superior British performance can duplicate the almost miraculous defense of last September, That's question of pure argument, con- lecture or judgment.
 The production factor is the biggest of all elements in air war. Total air war means total destruc- ton of one-siXth of an air force every two months, if both sides are strong That means a nation must count on replacing it's front line air force every year That piece Of aerial arithmetic is based on experience from the beginning of air fighting, and nothing has happened in this war to change it.
