TWO NEWCOMERS DEFINITE THREAT TO S' Brownies Expected To Add Spirit To American Chase By Gayle Talbot Tampa, Fla., April 2. (AP) This is getaway week in the baseball training camps, and as the sun-tanned athletes hit the exhibition trail leading to opening day on April 14 there is talk of only one team that might possibly Inject a little pepper into an otherwise unpromising Yankee-dominated American league race. That club is the St. Louis Browns. Every manager who has met the Browns this spring says they are a good, fast outfit that 'might cause a lot of trouble." A couple of pilots, whose opin ion the writer respects highly ray that Luke Scwell's outfit is a cinch to climb into the first division. It was one of the three teams in the American league to play better than .500 ball after Decoration day last season. the others being the Yankees and Washington. Here is the order, then, In which the coming war-time cam paign might wind up: (1) New York, (2) Chicago (3) Boston, (4) St. Louis, (5) Cleveland, (8) Detroit, (7) Wash ington, (8) Philadelphia. The Yankees, winners last year by a lop-sided 17 games. are fundamentally so much bet ter than any other team in the Junior circuit that there ' is no real comparison. Sure, they haven't been looking like world champions this spring, so what? By mid-summer they will have some rival club owners pining secretly for a split season. The Chicago White Sox. who were third last year with exactly a .500 average appear to have the pitching to boost them up to second place this time, say about 25 games off the pace If they make it. then the loud and persistent group which in sists that Jimmy Dykes Is the greatest manager In the world not barring even Joe McCarthy will have to be listened to with new respect. Sockeye Jack McDonald won't appear in the Medford armory grappling ring next Monday night as expected, but Promoter Mack Lillard has lined up an excellent card, nevertheless; one that will Include two brand-new faces. McDonald has wired Lil lard he will be unable to come here until April 20. ' Pedro Brazil, the South Amer ican champ, will face Chief Thunderblrd. big Indian, In the one-hr.ur main event The mid dle clash will pit Jim Casey gainst Tug Carlson, a new comer, and the opener will find Andre Adoree meeting Billy Marcus, another newcom er. Both Carlson and Marcus have been operating In the San Francisco bay district and are aaid to be plenty potent. BOWLING At the TRAIKIXG CAMPS (By Associated Press) Orlando, Fla Clark Griffith of the Washington Nationals is in the market for a hitting out fielder and a third baseman. His theory la that a winning team will mean big gates this season In boom-town Washington, espe cially with 21 night games scheduled at Griffith stadium Since, buying Buck Newsom. Griffith is satisfied with the pitching staff and he thinks the Nats may finish In the first division with more power at the plate. Charleston, S. C. Pitcher Charlie Wagner of the Boston Red Sox will try to go the dis tance against Bucky Walters and Paul Derringer of the Cin cinnati Reds today in the first of an eight game exhibition series between the two teams. Manager Joe Cronin also hopes to have Dick Newsome, Joe Dobson and Yink Terry, ranked as his other starters, go the route before the team reaches Boston.

TIGERS PLAY AT ME FRIDAY i urns, Ariz., April iz. Frankie Frisch'a Pittsburgh Pir ates of 1942, boasting new club record with 18 victories in 20 exhibition games, are shaping up as definite threat to the National league supremacy of the Cardinals and Dodgers. If the Bucs click during the regular season like they're click ing now, the hard-driving "Ford ham Flash" has a fine chance to make good on his attempt to give Pittsburgh a pennant-winning team In three years. Buying here and trading there, Frish has created almost a brand new club, as only six of the 28 players on the 1039 roster of former Manager Pie Traynor are still around. Frisch's foundlings emerged in fourth place In 1940 and 1941 as the process of team-building went on. Then the Flash ac quired some material which seems to be all the Pirates needed greater batting power and a tighter infield. A large chunk of the new Pir ate power came from the Dodg ers which would make a bitter pill for the Brooklyn champs should the Bucs dethrone them. r'tv-. 1- . 1 f Vac (t -H ,;V, .Vf.f L $ 2 4 '4 AQUATIC STARS AWAIT AAU MEET New Haven, Conn., April 2. iP) With an eye on the first Pan-American games, which Ar gentina's Olympic committee in sists will take place next No vember, more than 100 of the greatest swimmers and divers In this country anxiously awaited today the start of the three-day National A.A.U. championships in Yale's swanky natatorium.

The victors are almost certain choices should the United States send a swim ming team to Buenos Aires. OKEH NAVY PROGRAM Washington, April 2.

Hogan, for all his icy nerve, feels under pressure as much as any man playing golf; and he's been under it so much that he feels the difference when It is off. Leading the North-South last week by a wide margin. Hogan took sixes on number 10 both rounds of the final day. He was so far ahead that he couldn't concentrate. "I had to shake myself on the eleventh tee to get rid of the letdown," he said. The result In the after noon was a birdie three on the next hole. Today the pressure was on again, because Belting Ben was the favorite and defending champion. gon AAU boxing tournament iast night. The expected feature of the night.
