PETERSBURG, Pla., March 1' (AP) Summed up, the chief de velopments of the 1034 major league spring training to date Include the evidence of increased public Interest, the somewhat marked decline of the left-handed pitching species with growing conviction (.morn? the players that the new standard baneball Is bit livelier than advertised. The first and last of these Items go hand-tn-hand, for it Is already ap parent there Is going to be more slug ging with the spryer ball this year and the major league magnates feel move spectacular batting will mean bigger crowds. t A number of the big hitters have already expressed the opinion pri vately that the 1034 ball Is noticeably. livelier than that used In either league last season. This will test a favorite theory of the magnates that the fans at large are more Interested In a home run duel between Jimmy Poxx and Lou Gehrig or a batting race between Chuck Klein and Bill Terry than they are In a pitchers' battle between Carl Hubbell and Dizzy Dean or Lefty Grove and Vernon G'Snez, It all goes back to the popular fu rore created by the exploits of Babe Ruth, the greatest gate attraction of all time, and still the highest paid performer in baseball. Gehrig, freed this year from any sub -conscious worry about keeping up his "Iron man" record, figures to overshadow Ruth in supplying power to the Yankee attack, but the Babe remains the game's most magnetic figure. The tourist trade besieges him upon every public appearance and the 41-year-old slugger Is re sponding with all the flourish of a grand opera star on a farewell tour. The popularity of the world cham pion Giants, at the same time, tends to demonstrate that slugging Isn't the whole show and that the baseball public appreciates the fine, more In tricate points of the game. Bill Terry's dynamic crew has played to overflow crowds In most of Its Florida engage ments so far, notably on Its home grounds at Miami Beach, as well as Fort Myers, Brottenton and Tampa. All this enthusiasm, plus the fact the Yankees and Boston Braves played to capacity at the outset of their ex hibition series, has helped revive the spirits of financially harassed club owners. St. Petersburg has not seen such turnouts in nine years. It may not be so Important, but the left-handed pitching situation is one of the most unusual In spring training history, with the Boston Red Sox In possession or as much sea soned southpaw talent as the other 10 clubs in Florida combined. The Giants have Hubbell, the Car dinals rely on comfbcV: by Halla han, the Braves depend on Ed Brandt, the Yankees on Gomez anti the Tigers on Fischer. But these scattered lefties contrast with the portside Red Sox galaxy of the great Grove, Walberg. Pennock, Wetland, and Fred Oster mueller, the highly touted Rochester (N. Y.) recruit. OPEN BALL DRILL FOR YEAR TODAY Medford Rogues will hold their first work out of the season today at one p., m., at Van Scoyoc field and In all probability will be nursing sore arms and strained muscles for the balance of the week.. The alining of- Hoosler Roffard, outfield, and Cliff McLean, pitcher, waa announced by Manager Hal Halght, yesterday. This Is good news to Medford fans who have seen thus pair In action. Hoffard, a veteran, Is well known here, having played In southern Ore gon for several years and for the past two years, managed the Eagle Point team, where he played a bang up de fensive game In center field and waa the backbone of the Cheesemakera' attack. Although a right hander, the Hoos ler hits from the port side of the plate. He Is the type of hitter who takes a real healthy cut at the ball and gets a world of power behind his drives when he connects. This he fre quently does, as his .368 batting av erage of last year shows. Hoffard Is airtaln to patrol center field, and with his acquisition, one of Halght's outfield problems la solved. Cliff McLean la an ex-normal school basketball and to of ball star. Although a comparative youngster, he is one of the best all around ball players outalde of professional ranks, seen in action here. The "Chief" la at home anywhere and can play anyone of the nine posi tions on the team better than most playera can play one, Manager Halght stated. He waa with the Rogues part of last season, established quite a record, and waa popular with the fana. McLean throws a bat right handed, and drives the ball hard to all parts of the field. Hla apeed on the bases enables him to stretch many of these clouts Into home runs. Halght has Issued an invltatlin to all aspiring talent, desirous of mak ing the team, to report at that time. BOBBY SETS NEW E IT'S GALLANT SIR AGUA CALIENTE, Mex., March 17.
