Sewell has three good veter

starting staff Nelson Potter,
Jack Kramer and Sig Jakucki.
This trio won 49 of the Browns'
89 victories last year. Potter's
19 triumphs was the third best
record in the league.
Most likely candidates for the
other two starting jobs are Al
La'maechia, Jex Shirley, Earl
Jones and Al Hdniflgsworth'' i.;
"Lamacchia looks a lot better
this spring than when here for
trial last year," Sewell said.
"Hollingsworth has shown me
his best work in two years dur

American Lopp Home Run
Champ Reclassified ,1-A
By JACK HAND
NEW YORK, April 5 MV
Uncle Sam continued to shape
the 1945 pennant races today as
threatened loss of First Baseman
Nick Etten, last year's American
league home run champion,
struck a body blow at the hocs
of the New York Yankees.
Etten's reclassification to 1-A
by a Chicago , draft board was
hardly a surprise to Joe McCar
thy. The Yank skipper, had ex
pected such tidings and planned
accordingly, but coming on top
of similar news on Oscar Grimes
and Johnny LindeU's imminent
induction,. It may force consider
able shuffling.
If Etten . and Lindell go, the
vaunted Yankee power of by
gone days will be strictly a one
man act-by George Stirnwelss,
4-F but also up for re-examination.
If Grimes also goes, Mc
Carthy will be up against it for
a first sacker.-
Emerson Rosers six shutout
innines in yesterday's 8-3 victory
over the Boston Red Sox must
have been some comfort to
Marse Joe for his title chances
lean heavily on the pitching
staff. Roser was of little help in
1944 but could win a regular job
with that kind of chucking. .

that knows and abides by none of the rules of warfare, and that
they have all been hospitalized at one time or another for a

. "I think DiMagglo is the best
