New York, April l.-tuP)-ossle Bluege will begin his managerial career with the hardest hitting out. field in the American league, but opinion is divided on whether his Wa; .lngton Senators will have enough all.around strength to be- come 0 factor in the ielS 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 infield strength.
 only two of tho American league outfielders who hit 300 or better last season are back in the game this year and both are with Wash. ington-Stan Spence, who hit 1923 and George Case, whose average was .32O. 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 be- come one of the leagues leading batsmen. He always has ranked among the leaders in the runs. batted-in column and his long ball hitting should come In handy for the Senators, who long have lacked clean.up slugger.
 Gene Moore, who hit .Sl5 with Montreal last year, and John Mar ion, rookie who came up with a .3Sl batting average from Utica, are the reserve oUtflelders.
 Maybe
 The infleld may depend upon the draft for James Vernon at first and Jerry Priddy at second are married but have no children. Should they last out the season and should Priddy come up to tho form he dis- played with Kansas City the Sena- tors could make Q lot of trouble,
 The rest of the infield is uncertain although John Sullivan and Ellis Clary, who were with the club last year, arc back for the shortstop and third base posts respectively. George Myatt, who hit .27S with Columbus last year, may beat one of them out. There are four other in. field candidates-Joe Jacobs and Hills Layne, neither Of whom have had organized ball experience; Charles Roberts, up from Charlotte, and Sherrard Robertson, with Bal. timore last year.
 Jake Early, last years regular, and Angelo Kiuliani, back for an. nklAw txiaY altar a aAa eaaa zxytkla ARiVa. neapolis, are the front line catch- CTS. Both are weak hitters. Don- aid Barbary, rookie from Char. lotte, is the only other catcher on the roster.
 SO-SO Stan
 Only four pitchers who were with the club last year are back and un- less Bluege can uncover some prom. ising freshmen he may be short on hurling. The veterans are Emil (Dutch) Leonard, who was out most of last year with e broken ankle; 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. tough, both from Chattanooga; Dewey Adkins, Wilkes-Barre; Milo Candini, Newark; M. A. Haefner, Minneapolis; James Mertz, Atlanta: Ewald Pyle, Toledo: o. ?. ScheetZ, Minneapolis and John Bunnell, who has had no previous organized ball experience.
