SHORT ON HURLERS

Only four pitchers who were with
the club last year are back and
unless BlLege can uncover some
promising freshmen he may be
short on hurting. The veterans
are Emil tDutch) Leonard, who was
out most of last year with brok-
en- angle; Alex Carrasquel, Rae
Scarborough and Early Wynn.
None of the nine rockies appear
too promising, but neither did Sid
Hudson, who came up unheralded
and developed into a top-ranking
moundSman. The newcomers are
William Kennedy and Phil McCul-
lough, both from Chattanooga;

NEW YORK, April i.-UPl-
0sSie Blucge will begin his man
agerial career with the hardest
hitting outfield i'm the American
League, but opinion is divided on
whether his Washington Senators
will have enough all-around
strength TO become factor in
the 1913 race.
Manager Joe Mccarthy of the
New York Yankees believes they
will: other baseball men doubt
whether Bluege will come up with
enough pitching and infie d
strength.
Only two of the American League
outfielders who hit 800 or better
last season arc back in the game
this year and both are with Wash
ington-Stan Spence. who hit 1923,
and George Case. whose average
was 800. For his third gardener
Bluege has Bob johnson. secured
from the Philadelphia Athletics.
johnson fell below 300 last year,
but with the change in scenery he
may again become one of the
leagues leading batSmen. He al
ways has ranked among the leaders
in the -batted-in column and
his long ball hitting should come in
handy for the Senators. who long
have lacked a cleanup Slugger.

Earl% this morning, a tall, elderly
and somewhat emaciated Negro
named Harry Wills tremendously
slipped glass of grape Juice, there
by officially ending his 3l-day fast
The former BLACK Panther" of
the ring absorbed considerable pun
ishment during his II years as a
professional fighter. He suffered
untold disappointment because he
never could entice Jack Dempsey
into the squared circle. And he
hungcred through 80 previous an
nual fastS.
But the 1943 evasion of edibles
was tops as an ordeal, he says, be-
cause throughout this fasting period
the entire nation was talking of
food-ration cards, frozen fodder,
meat shortages, etc.
TOO MUCH TALK
1t was bad enough to go 81 days
without poak chops" the big Negro
explains, without havin' people
talkin' forever about where they're
goin' to get poak chops"
Wills, who at 81 owns two upper
Harlem apartment houses and who
is affluent enough to satisfy his
penchant for pork and chicken, was
assailed even in his dreams by del
ectable hog ribs and fried fowl.
Although he aWoke each morn
grinding his worries, he heroically
resisted the call of the larder in
the cause of health.
Normally packing 252 pounds on
Six-fOot-tWo chassis, Wills fasts
month a year to keep healthy-to
burn the impurities in his system.
He started fasting in his first year
as a professional fighter-back in
19ll-and has kept it up ever since.
When he stepped on the scales last
night, he weighed 1876, having starv-
ed off 56 pounds. He lost eight inch
eS around the waist.
We talked to the erstWhile "Sen-
egambian Menace" in a large and
handsomely appointed apartment of
one of his buildings at st. Nicholas
Place. Harry, stretched out in an
oyer-stuffed Morris chair, said he
felt "puffectly swell" after his
March-long fast. He said he didn't
feel weak except when he tried to
walk too fast on his daily morning
hike of eight miles or when he
tried to climb stairs too fast while
collecting his rents. At 81, he said,
the period of enforced starvation
had no more enervating effect upon
