NEW, YORK, Jan. 8 Sastlafled
his Philadelphia, Athletics still are
tho .class or the American league,
Connie MacJc has decided to stand
by his guns In 1032.
A survey by the Associated press
Indicates the A's alone, of eight
league contenders will face the wire
fn April with exactly the same line
up that closed the 38.31 race.
Tho New York Yankees have pur
chased a couple of expensive young
infleldcrs, Jack Saltzgaver and
FanJc, . Crosottl, . to; .plug, up what
. Managor joe Mcuariny regaraea as
v his only serious weakness. "'; ,
Washington has obtained 'Carl,
Reynolds from the White Sox. : Ho
is expected to prove the answer to
-Walt Johnson's plea, for a slugging,
ilKht-handcd, outfielder. , ?
Flie Others Unsuccessful
Despite their best efforts, the five
other clubs , apparently have not
been able to acquire what it takes.
Threo of them Cleveland, Detroit
and St. Louis promise to be little,
,if any, stoute rthan lost, year.
i The Browne did not make a flln
glo trade. . Cleveland Is thinking of
Biiiftlng Ed dlo Morgan to the out-
field and, putting Bruce Cannatser
' from New Orleans, at first. Detroit,
rarely In. need of batting strength,
hopes to find a .3 pa hitter or two
among its newcomers.
Tho winter's biggest upheaval oo
eurred at Chicago following tho
death of tho "Old Roman," Charles
Comlskoy, and the elevation of his
-, son, Louis, to. tho club presidency
Don to Bush,, has been replaced by
Lew Ponacca as manager..! ....
Home I'uiuty Trailtnfr , ,
Under Foiuajca's Influence, ,, tho
club did some fancy trading at thq
annual meeting,.. and. In tho opinion
oi many observers, did, itself some
good. In addition to Sad , Sam
Jones and Irving (Bumps) Hadley,
obtained from Washington, the Sox
got another voteran curver In MilT
ton, for whom young Lefty Bob Wet
land went to Boston. Fonseca, hopes
Ted Lyons, tho great right-hander,
will return to fprm.
Should tho Boston Red Sox con
tinue to improve as they did under
John Collins last season, they might
very wen prove a sensation. . With
, tho exception of Wei land, thoy ob
tained no recognized talent, but
they return with tho same combin
ation that fought Its way Into sixth
ptneo late In 1031.

tho little- man Is better.

Culver City Pro
Leads' Qualifiers1
At Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES, Jan, 8 OP) Those
golfers privileged to pass up jthe
qualifying round of the Los Angeles
$7,000 open tournament yesterday,
looked at the lint of 97 survivors to
day and wondered. If In big .Fred
Morrison, Culver Ci.iy. Cal., pro, they
did not have a rugged opponent, to
watch. .,- .,
While (the 36 stars who by virtue
of their showing in the 1031 Los
Angeles open or. the national open
of last summer, waited for Satur
day's first round of 18 holes, Morri
son, Southern California open cham
pion, turned In a 73-68 141. One
over par for the tricky Bel-Air. course
to lead a field of 253. t
Morrison was slow to start, shoot
ing a 36-37 op the first eighteen.
But he warmed to his task on the
out nine of the final eighteen, tour
ing It In 32. Two under. He started,
out with a birdie 3 on the first hole
and then dropped his .brasBle - shot
for a golden eagle 2 on par 5 eighth.
Certain of his chances to qualify
he eased off with a 36 on the final
nine holes.
As Morrison appeared to be a threat
to the pros, so did young Gale Stock
ton, University of Southern California
sophomore Irom San Bernardino, who :
finished second with a 71-72143.
Present a problem to those amateurs
seeking first place trophy after Mon-;
day's final round. , ' ' j

lection comj.nltteo of the United
Stutes Lawn Tennis association has
com up. with a ranking ,11st, for
.1931 that may provide material for
plenty of verbal fireworks when the
association holds its annual meeting
in New Orleans, next month.
There can be no quarrel, of course,
with the selection of Ellsworth Vines
for the No. 1 place in men's singles
nor with the choice of Mrs. Helen
Wills Moody for a similar spot on
the women's division, but elsewhere
In the list are rankings open to
dispute. ' ,

ny Doeg No. 6, Cliff Sutter- No. 6,
Sidn?y Wood No. 7, Keith Gledhill
No. 8, Wilmer Allison No. 9 and
Berkeley Bell No. 10.
In that array, tho one really dis
putable point seems to be the rank
ing of Van Ryn at No. 4 in prefer
ence to. Doc'g, national' J hamplon
and No. 1 player in 1030.
Tho rise of Gledhill to the No. 8,
post puts the two ranking Juniors
