MEDFOTtD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON. FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1933. PAOE FTVE WHILE OPPOSITION New Yorkers Still Have Plenty of Stuff That Makes Outstanding Club They're 2 to 1 Favorites By ALAN GOULD ' (Associated Press Sports Editor.) Despite the fact they lace much stronger opposition all along the American league line this year, es pecially from Washington, the New York Yankees still have large and abundant quantities of the stuff that makes them the outstanding club In baseball. Salaries of the baseball champions underwent drastic reductions, includ ing a slice off Babe Ruth's paychecks big enough to pay the year's stipend of all but a half dozen other stars, but the New Yorkers ' are still the most expensive cast In either major league. Allen Looks Bad. Johnny Allen, their freshman pitch ing sensation in 1932, has not round ed Into form and seems unlikely to duplicate his feat of winning 17 games, but the wealth of available pitching talent Includes a big fel low -who may do even better, Don Brennan, up from the Newark "farm" and reday for a regular Job. The Babe himself no longer Is a greyhound on the defense, and Man ager Joe (McCarthy may not have de cided yet who will start the, season at shortstop, but consider the em barrassment of the Yankees' pilot In the circumstances. He has two of the greatest young outfielders any where in sight, Bam Byrd and Fred Walker, both straining at the leash If Ruth shows the least sign of need ing an understudy. Three Ace Shorstops. He has three shortstops, any one of whom would be welcomed on most other big league clubs, and the task of deciding whether Bill Werber has come along fast enough this spring to displace Prankle Crosettl or Lyn Lary. 1932 alternates. In this dreadful predicament. It la small wonder that the Yankees are 3 to 1 favorites to win the pennant again, even though Washington Is conceding nothing and the other clubs are hoping mostly for the "breaks." In the two vital elements of base ball supremacy, power and pitching, the Yankees have nothing to worry about. Now that Connie Mack has broken up the Simmons -Poxx com bination on the Athletics, there Is no two-ply powerhouse anywhere to compare with Ruth and Gehrig. All Carry Wallop. t Oombs, Sewell, Lazzerl, Dickey and Chapman all carry enough wallop to originate or Join typical Yankee slug fests. No matter who plays short stop and If Red Ruffing Is pitching, there Is no soft spot anywhere In the batting order. The starting pitching staff again will be built around Ruffing, the Nokomls (111.) righthander, and Ver non (Lefty) Gomez, the accomplish ed southpaw. Together they won 42 games last year and should come close to that figure again. George Plpgraa and Johnny Allen may have to hus tle to keep their regular Jobs, with Brennan, VanAtta, Deshong, big Wal ter Brown and Danny MaoFhyden anxious for steady employment. Herb Pennock and Wiley Moore are past masters at the art c mopping up. Charley Devens, Harvard alumnus, was originally ticketed for a season In Newark, but he has developed so fast that McCarthy may keep him with the varsity. May Farm Crosettl. Aside from the problem of trim ming his pitching staff, the man ager'! cnlel worrlea concern which two of his shortstop trio to keep. Right now It looks as though Cros ettl will be sent to Newark, leaving Werber and Lary to fight it out. Mc Carthy, because of the optional lim its, also may be obliged to let Wal ker go back to Newark for another season and keep Dusty Cooke Sr outfield reserve duty. Otherwise, there Is no questing about the lineup. Including B.il Dickey behind the bat, barring acci dent or suspension. Gehrig, Lazzerl ' and Sewell are set at their Infield posts, as are Qpmbs and Chapman In the outfield. Notre Dame Pays Honor To Departed Grid Chief SOUTH BEND, Ind March 31. (AP) Notre Dame today honored the memory of Its immortal Viking of football, Knute Rockne, and looked back longingly on a glorious era of athletic achievement that may never return to the campus of the golden dome. It was two years ago today that the great master of the "Fighting Irish" was killed in an airplane crash in Kansas and the entire university Joined In tribute and prayer. Classes for the day were dismissed and the Rev. Charles L. O'Connell, C. S. C, president of Notre Dame, planned to sing a requiem high mass. Notre Dame's football army, always 10 or more full teams strong, has fought many a rousing battle under the leadership of Coach Heartley "Hunk" Anderson since "Rock" passed on, but Its supremacy over the col lege gridiron has been broken. The fall started with Southern California's great victory In 1931 and continued through last season when the forces of the South Bend raiders were leveled twice under attacks by the same Tro jans and the Panthers from Pitts burg. The football record "after Rockne" has been 13 won, four lost and one tied, as compared to Rockne 's great record of 105 victories, 12 defeats and 5 ties In 13 successive campaigns, ending with 19 straight conquests- Track Star to Of ficiate For Klamath Field Meet KLAMATH FAWA Ore., Mar. 31.

See World Plot by Jews The Nazis profess to .see an inter national Jewish plot at work, such as they have always blamed for the ills that befell Germany as & result of the world war. Several hundred thousand brown shlrted Nazis are to begin the picket ing of Jewish establishments through out the country and already have been delegated to their posts. In many towns boycotts already were active but the Nazi troopB were ordered to halt them and in some places they were able to do so, though It was necessary to close the victimized stores. An order was Issued by the Nazis headquarters to refrain from inter fering with the business of the Wool worth chain stores. A Nazi economic theory Is hostile to chain stores of all kinds, holding that such large organizations ruin small dealers. One report laid the latest outbreak against the Woolworth stores to an erroneous belief that the original Woolworth was a Jew. (American Investors have $27,000,000 Invested In various chain stores and Jewish-owned department stores In Germany). New Yorker Assaulted Prompt action by the American consulate has resulted In the expul sion of one Nazi storm trooper from the party and a sharp reprimand to two others. The action arose from another as sault on Julian Fuhs of New York, who was beaten March 12 by men In Nazi uniform who demanded money. A storm troop leader Interfered at that time and gave an alarm to the police. Uniformed Nazis and civilians en tered Fuhs night-club early Wednes day morning. When Fuhs asked to see their membership cards one of the civilians assaulted him while one READY FOR CLASH WITH LOCAL NINE After two weeks of working out dally with the high school team, the Ashland town team Is ready for their first game of the season Sunday, when they will Journey to Medford to tangle with the Medford Mer chants.
