Only Six Series Vets
Now With The Yankees

with the club and it is possible
the nucleus may shrink to five by
tomorrow.
Roy Weatherly, stocky outfield-
er, was accepted by the Army yes
terday and Johnny Lindell, tower
ing outfielder-pitcher, is scheduled
for his draft physical at Camden,
N. j., tomorrow. His acceptance
almost would force Mccarthy to
use score-card to know the name
and number of his players.
OF the remainder only George
Stirnweiss, infielder, and outfield-
er Bud Metheny are ATS. Nick
Etten, first baseman and the club S
main hitting reliance at present,
is IA and expects his appointment
for physical examination sometime
before midsummer.
Tuck Stainback, another outfield-
err, and Pitcher Hank Borowy are
in the 2-B listing but both are po-
tential members of the IA club.

Crosetti and Bonham, both Cali
fornians, still are in 2-B and At
respectively but decided to take
their preliminaries physicals be-
fore coming east. Both passed and
the infielder has remained in his
war work.
While Bonham passed the physi.
cal test there is a feeling among
the Yanks that he will not be ac-
ceptable to the services because
of the back injury that forced him
to wear brace while pitching.
Despite the manpower shortage
that kept Mccarthy from making
single substitution except for
pitchers in the initial training
game, the manager still insists
that his world champions are the
team to beat in the campaign that
gets under way two weeks from
tomorrow.

CRAMER SHOWING
FORM WITH STICK
BY WATSON sPOELSTRA

EVANSVILLE, Ind, April 4.LR
Roger Cramer is the type of ball
player who can peel off his winter
underwear, climb into a flannel
uniform and be ready to play i'm
mediately.
Thus it was no surprise to his
teammates when Cramer, starting
his 18th full season in the Ameri-
can League, blasted Chicago Cub
pitching for seven successive hits
in two games a week after reach
ing training camp. Moreover, it
would astonish nobody on the De-
troit Tiger club if Cramer became
a leading challenger this summer
for the league batting title.
Cramer, whose lifetime major
league average is .298, whacked
away to a 300 mark in 1913, fin
ishing fourth in the batting derby
won by Luke Appling of Chicago.
Appling and runner-up Dick Wake
field of Detroit are in the armed
forces, however, leaving Ralph
Hodgin and Cramer as the sole
returning 300 hitters of last sea-
son.
The veteran outfielder, who will
be SO years old in July, isn't even
a reasonable facsimile of a power
hitter. In all his year sat Phil
adelphia, Boston, Washington and
Detroit, he hit ony 20 home runs,
getting four in the past eight sea-
sons. Nevertheless he bats out
plenty of singles, topping the play
ers now active in the league with
1926 total. The Tigers have the
notion there are more hits where
the 1926 came from.
Besides, the Detroit front office
regards Cramer as the best de-
fensive center fielder in the league.
The most active of basebalrs old
guard, Cramer still can get fly
balls With tne pest. his StfOnS
throwing arm bears witness to the
fact that Cramer was pitcher
when Cy Perkins of Philadelphia
discovered him nearly two decades
ago at Beach Haven, N. j.
The Tigers regard the acquisi-
ton of Cramer as one of the best
deals they ever negotiated. He
came to Detroit with Jimmy Blood
worth in 1941 from Washington in
exchange for Frank Croucher and
Bruce Campbell.
They're either too young or too
old in baseball this year, but
Cramer is still considered good
enough to be Major Lacquer any
time

the early exhibition baseball games

II YOU want to try to read some

competition this year will be razor

were decided by one run, one OF

To discou1 age that line of read
ing, however, the Chicago White
Sox went outside the major league

versity of North Carolina base
ball schedule, but IS games nave
already been arranged by Athle-
tic Director R. A. Fetzer and
Coach Bum Hearn.
OF the IS games, IL are with

Outside drills were cancelled
most of last week because OF rain,
but Coach Hearn will try to hold
intra-squad practices daily from
now on until the season opener

Prospects so far have indicated
a fairly strong team, but it Will
not be as potent in the pitching
bracket as were the '43 cham
pions of the Ration League. Red
Forrest, Winston Salem; Claud
Crocker, Winston-Salem, and Art
Lowe, Providence, R. l., have
