Ask Clubs to Cancel Some
Pre-Season Baseball Games
WASHINGTON, March 16 (IP)
The National and American lea

reducing measure. '
This decision was announced

' CHICAGO, March 16 (IP)
There may be no records
smashed, but for this fourth war
time year the quality of compe
tition is expected to remain
above par in the seventh annual
Chicago Relays here tomorrow
night.,
i Travel limitations will keep
some of the nation's top track
and field stars away and, of
course, many more are in the
armed services far from the
United States.
But those entered represent
the upper crust of the nation's
amateur trackdom, and include
those two touring Swedish stars,
Guilder Haegg and Hurdler-Journalist
Haakan Lidman.
The spotlight, naturally, is on
Haegg because of his failures in
his first two starts in this coun
try his first two indoor mile
races, in fact. His critics have a
number of explanations for that
slow, 4:31 mile he ran as he fin
ished last at Madison Square
Garden two weeks ago, and his
comparatively slow 4:19 as he
finished fifth last week.
They blame it, primarily, on
his insistence on outdoor work,
rather .than indoor conditioning
so as to develop a stride to fit
the shorter banked curves of the
indoor ovals.

Boston Red Sox Manager
Hirt Homer On Firit Pitch
By JOE REICHLER
NEW YORK, March 18 (IP)
Beginning his 20th year in the
major leagues, Manager Joe
Cronin of the Red Sox, generally
regarded as one of baseball's
greatest shortstops of the last
two decades, may become Bos
ton's regular first baseman this
season.
Cronin, who passed the mili
tary draft age last October 12,
never played the initial sack un
til last year when the tardy ap
pearance of Lou Finney, coupled
with the sale of Tony Lupien to
the Philadelphia Phillies, led the
jut-jawed Irishman to don the
first baseman's mitt. He ap
peared in 76 games and hit .241,
including five homers.
Cronin brought the same mitt
to camp with him .Wednesday
and emphasized his "comeback"
attempt yesterday by slamming
the first batting pitch over the
left field fence. With Finney
gone into the service, and George
Metkovich, who was expected to
hold down the bag, in QAA,
Cronin may reach the 100-games-.
