GOMEZ COUNTS ON COMEBACK
 AT AGE OF 30
HurIer Says He's Right to Start l2th Year
 With Yankees
BY PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Staff CorrespOndent)

United Press Stan COrreSpOnuentJ
 New York, Feb. 14-(UP)-There are only two times when Lefty Go- meg of the New York Yankees, shows any signs of nervousness, namely when he is not pitching and, when mention is made of a proposed trade which would send him to the Brooklyn Dodgers
 Gomez, in town for the recent baseball writers dinner, said he is in fine shape and ready to assume a prominent role in the plans of the Yankees for 1941. He said he will leave for spring training camp in Florida soon, planning to drive all the way,
 Right now, l feel stronger than I ever have" Gomez said, "even after that year I spent the entire winter drinking milk to put on weight"
 The wiry southpaw, whose fast ball was once one of the most for midable pitching offerings in the American League but who was able to win only three games last sea- son, has several times been classed as one of baseball's "eccentrics. '" No gathering of baseball men dis cusses Lefty for more than five minutes without referring to the famous airplane story.
 Stopped by Passing Plane .aoo,,e, nft1y I1roc 1lifpn in O in a world series game against the New York Giants when, hearing the drone of a plane motor, he hated the game, stepped off the rubber and calmly watched the plane pass. It wasn't a grand stand gesture" but just served to illustrate that Gomez nature, all though he puts all his energies into the game he is part of, is such that he doesn't miss anything that goes on around him
 Although his 1941 salary is be- lieved to be about $12,000, it was not so long ago that he was up as high as $2O,OO0. That was when his pitching effectiveness was at its peak. Now, Gomez said that, bar ring injuries, there is nothing to stop a comeback for him this sea- son.
 "Take a squint at that waist | line" he urged. Right now, I'm down to 175 and my arm and back both feel swell Anyhow, my arm didn't bother me last year, it was my back that caused all the trouble"
 He's Proud Yankee
 With all the verbal sniping at and by Gomez, among his team mates, Lefty has always wise cracked about his being traded He i has admitted the possibility and laughed it eff But despite all his raillery, hardly a moments con- versation passes before his strong pride at being Yankee can be detected.
 T don't know whether or not you remember" Gomez said, "but except for Bill Dickey, I'm the only other guy who was with the Yan- kees in that 1930 spring training camp. Lep, that's right. Even SO though, I'm only 30, which isn't se ripe.
 AS for being sent to Brooklyn there's nothing wrong with the Dodgers, mind you, but I still like being a Yankee. After all. I've been around the club so long, it'll be sorta nice-nf and when, do wast up-to finish with this bunch Here's hopin' it won't be this year | though"
