8T." 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.
