- the f, Washington Senators, is out
for a matter of weeks on account
of an' Injury, and Stanley Coveles
kle will draw the first assignment.
His opponent probably will be
Bryan Harriss, long and lean star
of the Boston Red So i.-. Cleveland
will send Emil Lersen against the
Chlieagos f with ; the likely White
Sox; selection. Ted Blankenship.
Connie Mack definitely has de
cided to order left handed fast
ones and curYes only slightly less
fast. ' delivered ; by Bob Grove,
against, the Yankees, who will
doubtless can .on Urban. Shocker
to toss his spitball on opening day.
The St. Louis Browns will lose
no jttme in calling oi "Sad Sam"
Jones" to earn his moiney, and the
forrner: Yankee, is in a receptive
mood, to do the first pitching of
the year for Dan Howley. Earl
WhitehlU, southpaw, has. an edge
In petfoit calculations for the day.
John J. McOraw has made no
announcement, but the burly
Grimes is being prepared for some
game and it may be the first, "
It would : not be surprising to
see;GrtfVer Cleveland Alexander
start the season for the Cardinals.
He' is equal to it after his busiest
spring in years. AU the Brooklyn
pitchers are In shape sand Wilbert
Robinson can draw a name out of
a hat if he chooses, with Dazzy
Vance a likely selection. The same
situation applies to the Cincin
nati Reds, with Pat Donohue the
probable choice.
The Philadelphia Nationals will
be represented by Carlson, their
ace, and the Chicago Cubs may
choose between Guy Bush - and
Charlie Root. The Pirates may
warm.up both Ray Kremer and
Lee Meadows.

Cambridge won by three lengths.
The winning time ovemne 9 Si

Kingsbury was the hero of an
exciting race, although he rowed
in the losing boat and with a crew
that was conceded Jittle chance to
win. The former Yale star stead

NEW YORK, April 2. (AP)
If any baseball fan fpllowed the
example of Rip Van Winkle and
fell asleep on the closing day of
the 1926 season he has a rude
shock awaiting him. He will need
a guide when he sits up to take
notice on the opening day of the
1927 season.
' No one who has failed to read
the. papers during, this winter of
managerial discontent will recog
nize many of the major league
clubs by their players when the
new season gets under way.
Eight of the 16 managers have
been displaced and the overturn in
playing talent has been on a cor
respondingly active basis. Even
the umpires have telt the blast.
If George Moriarity was Rip's
favorite umpire this will be the
first shock, for George, the song
writer, has doffed the umpirical
blue to don, the grayj of Detroit,
where he is1 perched in the driv
er's seat. Promotion of McCallis-
ter from coach to manager at
Cleveland and the conferring of
the title of manager ! along with

elations.
If Rip wants to know what has
become of Cobb, Collins and Tris
Speaker, all managers when he
went to sleep, he will have to look
to the Athletics and Washington.
Ty and Eddie joining Connie
Mack, while Tris was moving to
the Senators to lend Clark Grif
fith and Bucky Harris a hand.
The major league fan who has
been dreaming of pennant fights
will recognize the new St. Louis
Browns manager, for Dan Howley
was once a Detroit coach, but he
will have to look among the coach
es for two former managers. Art
Fletcher, late of Philadelphia, now
with the Yankees, and BUI M
Kechnie, taking up as Cardinal
coach where he left oft as Pitts
burgh manager.
A search among Pittsburgh
players for Mclnnis will be use
less for Stuffy is master minding
with the Phillies.
The great shock for the base-t
ball enthusiast coming up for air
will be his first glimpse of tbe New
York Giants. He will see Rogers
Hornsby at second base, Eddie
Rousch and George Harper in the
outfield and Burleigh Grimes as
pitcher. I
Prisch will be missing, but may
be .found at St. Louis along with
Ring. John Scott will be warming
up to pitch In Philadelphia.
Rip will think he has waked up
ten years back when he sees Bill
Carrigan directing the play of the
Boston Red, Sox, and although he'
will recognize Donie Bush man-;
aging Pittsburgh, he never saw
him before In a National league
uniform.
He will I rub his eyes when he
glimpses Zack Wheat in the colors
of the Athletics and may decide
that he is seeing things when he
finds Aaron Ward and Roger Peck
inpaugh, last together with the
Yankees, on display in White Sox
uniforms.
Expecting to see Marty Mc
Manus with the Browns this base
ball Enoch Arden will find him
with Detroit, and Oltourke and
Mullin gone to St. Louis. Henlinc
with Brooklyn will be no greater
shock than George Kelly with Cin
cinnati. He will wonder again when he
sees the "B" on Jacques Fournier's
shirt stands for Boston and not
Brooklyn,
A peep into the Yankee dugout
will not show the face of Had Sam
Jones, but he may be found doing
his smiling with tha Browns. This
Will account for how Durst and
Giard got in there with Miller
Huggfns.
Rip will think that Joe Harris
has lost his way when he finds him
at Pittsburgh but will know that
Washington did not leave him
there two years ago.
A call ion Bill Klllifer and Otto
Williams will be useless when the
Cardinals are fn St. Louis, but Rip
can see them both if he waits until
the Browns come home.
Foreman, wlib are experienced
fielders and competent hitters.
First "base will be protected by
Harold Olinger who played all
last season' in that position.
The baseball schedule .is being
arranged by Dwight Adams but
no early season games have been
booked as yet. Several games in
