Never "in the swim" at all, the Colonists failed to take a single first place in any event.

About the old batting eye? feel he could meet the Chicago Cubs – A Sure Bet not to Win thing in the League – Won't Give Up The Associated Press is any team in the Nacogua that looks like a not to win the pennant, Chicago Cubs. But Phil a mill-mannered follois serving his second Bruln manager, isn't give least not yet. He's kidding us perhaps a little, but the fact is that a Marion hitting around 275 with his occasional long ball would give a tremendous lift to the Browng and act as a wonderful settling influence on the rookies who will make up much of the team. As Veeck puts it, just to have a man like Marion around adds closes to a club, no matter how much or how well he plays. In theory the fact that Marty hats righthanded could be of value, too, as the prospective Browns line-up is studded with lefties. The prize rookies, Jim Rivera, George Schmeos, Frank Saucer and Clint Courtney, all hit from the left side. So does second-baseman Hobby Young, and all the first-base candidates. Marty would help break up its array, though Manager Rogers Hornsby insists somewhat grudely that there's never been any sense to this idea that lefthand butters are less effective against southpaw pitchers. "I'd sure like to have Marion in there, but I don't care which side he hits from," the Rajah insisted. "In my opinion that's always been a lot of bunk. If a man's a good batter he's going to hit any kind of pitching. The ball's got to come up there, doesn't it?

Diving—Bond (SA), Hain (A), Philipott (A). Medley and 4-man relay—Santa Ana. Stallings started that two-platoon stuff. I never did believe in it." The trouble is with this system of juggling line-up according to whether you're facing a left or righthanded pitcher is that a boy never gets a real chance to prove that he can hit both. You tell him he can't hit lefies and he gets where he believes it, himself. "I'm not supposed to do it. This Schmees isn't supposed to hit lefies. He's going to have to prove it to me. He'll be in there against both kinds until he does. So will all the others." College basketball duced to Madison Squared when Notre Dame played Dec. 20, 1934. This was first game of the Violiers.

The New York Yankees, who have been playing as though they’re in the middle of the pen-nant race, won their fourth game in five starts by whipping the Detroit Tigers, 4-1, behind three of their junior varsity hitters—Bill Miller, Tom Organ and Art Schulzock. For the Tigers, who have not looked good, it was their third defeat in four games. Art Houtteman was the loser. The Yankees suffered the first major injury of the campaign when 22-year-old Dilly Martin broke his right ankle sliding into second base for a photograph. Martin who slated for utility inflicted duty, but he’ll probably be out until May. The St. Louis Cardinals and the Losten Red Box played a 15-inning marathon, with the Cards winning, 7-6.
