Confidence in New Talent
Zooms Club’s Morale.
Veterans Prance.
BY BILL HENRY.
ASADENA, Calif.. March 17.
—Lots of nice warm sun
shine always acts as an
elixir of youth on the
creaking joints of the veteran
ball players, and Manager Lew
Fonseca of the Chicago White
Sox can be thankful for the per
fect weather that seems to have
reduced the average age of his
ball club about five years per
man.
Such battle-scarred veterans as
Haas, Simmons, Swanson and even
the venerable Jimmy Dykes have been
scampering about the greensward like
a herd of young colts in Spring prac
tice.
Every player on the Sox pay roll
seems inspired with the belief that the
new talent available to the club and
the general leveling off process that
has whittled down outstanding Amer
ican League clubs to more nearly
normal strength give the South Side
boys a chance to horn into the first
division this year.
Simmons and Haas reached the
Pasadena training grounds in advance
even of the pitchers and catchers and
spent their time getting into consid
erably better than average condition
before the start of Spring training.
Dykes, the barrel-chested third base
man. who hit a .536 clip in the city
series, is likewise in fine shape and
rifles the ball across the diamond as
in the old Athletic days.
lanes Appling in Short.
"ITTE HAVE the best shortstop in
VV the dig leagues outside of Joe
Cronin.” Manager Fonseca
announced as he watched Lucius Luke
Appling in action. Appling is work
ing hard to eradicate a tendency to
shadow box low grounders and seems
to have an accurate batting eye. The
struggle at second base between Min
ter Hayes and Ralph Kress Is on in
earnest. Vanishing Joe Chamberlin,
providing he doesn’t do his famous
disappearing act again, promises to
fit into the picture somewhere, prob
ably backing up Dykes in the third
base position.
The hot weather served to take the
kinks out of the arms of the Sox
chuckers in startling style and Man
ager Fonseca's eyes nearly popped out
of his head when he spotted several
of his boys throwing curve balls on
the third day out — and apparently
suffering no ill effects.
The best news, however, was the
appearance of George Eamshaw, the
eccentric fllngsr from the Athletics,
who, after winning 67 games and los
ing 28 in the three golden years of
the White Elephants, showed up last
season resembling a double for Mr.
Hardy of Laurel and Hardy. He ap
parently had nothing left but his ap
petite and dropped 10 decisions while
winning 5.
Earnshaw came to Pasadena with a
scant 200 pounds strewn along his
6 feet and 4 inches, same being about
20 pounds less than last year. He has
shown a lot of pepper in practice and.
according to a widespread rumor, has
ideas of collecting a lot of dough on
his contract, which carries a bonus
for every game won over a certain
number. He can pitch, and any games
he wins will help the Sox as compared
with last year—because they didn't
have him then.
Hopes to Revive Lyons.
FONSECA has great faith in Ed
Durham. Paul Gregory and Phil
- Gallivan, all of whom were on
the pay roll last year. Durham won
10 and lost 6 before an injury laid
him low. The other two are expected
to have profited by experience gained
when they were farmed out to the
minors in midseason last year. Whit
low Wyatt, who did a lot of high-class
rescue work last season, probably will
have to finish a lot of ball games this
year—the penalty of too much effec
tiveness in that line.
Fonseca hopes to, restore ol«-time
effectiveness to Ted Lyons, who de
veloped an annoying habit of being
overgenerous with runs last season.
The Sox manager has been studying
his former star flinger's difficulty with
the aid of his motion picture camera
and has convinced him that his trou
ble lies in a change in his ‘'motion"
which can be cured by following
through his pitching movement much
as a golfer follows through his stroke.
' If Lyons can be cured of giving the
other side ten or a dozen runs, he and
Sad Sam Jones, Milt Gaston and Joe
Heving will form the veteran back
bone of the mound staff.
me box omciais frankly are opti
mistic of improving their position
over that of 1933, although they base
their hopefulness on the undemon
strated prowess of three or four young
pitchers and the massive Zeke Bo
nura. first baseman. The youngsters
have shown no little talent but Fon
seca will not really know the value
of his young sprouts until he's seen
them under fire. The White Sox
leader has heard tell of base ball
managers waking up to discover a
Walter Johnson or a Christy Mathew
.«on among their rookies.

A’s Hurler Gains
By Breaking Arm
FORT MYERS, Fla., March 17
f/P).—A broken arm did more
to Pitcher Bob Kline than
cripple him—the enforced idleness
added 20 pounds to his weight—so
Kline is training with the Phila
delphia Athletics, splint and all.
The former Boston Red Sox
twirier arrived here yesterday from
his home in Columbus, Ohio, with
the expectation that he can dis
card the splint Monday or Tues
day. A right-hander, it was his
left elbow which he broke.

Houghton scored a 69 over his home

THERE S plenty of Interest being
shown locally in the Augusta
tourney, where Bob Jones will

One small wager recorded here
yesterday made Jones a l-to-4
shot against the field, while
another W'ager had it that the
Great One wouldn't finish in the

Most golfers feel, however, that
even though Bob hasn’t played
any tournament golf, he still is
good enough to come out on top
in any field, even though the pros
have advanced their scoring pace
since Jones quit back in Novem

BALTIMORE SCENE
OF AMATEUR TEST
D. C. Without Major Prelim
First Time Since New
System Was Devised.
BY W. R. McCALLUM.
ASHINGTON is going
to get along this year
without the sectional
qualification rounds for
either the national ojfen or the
national amateur golf cham
pionships.
Although one Washington club ap
plied last Pall for the sectional rounds
for the amateur championship, the
turn of the wheel has moved the local
sectional event to Baltimore for 1934,
marking the first time since the sec
tional system was devised that Balti
more has had such a test and Wash
ington has missed at least one of the
elimination trials. The set up this
year is as follows: National open
championship sectional qualification
rounds, May 8, at the Lakeside Coun
try Club, Richmond, Va.
National amateur championship
sectional qualification rounds. August
21, Five Farms course of the Bahi
more Country Club. This award has
not been officially announced, but an
announcement of the choice of Five
Farms for the amateur trials will be
made by the U. S. G. A. within a few
days.
Lakeside Is Chosen.
RICHMOND was announced several
weeks ago as the scene for the
local sectional trials for the
open, but only today has it become
known that Lakeside will be the
course over which they will be played.
For three years in a row Washing
ton has had at least one of the sec
tional elimination rounds for the
major championships, but this year
neither of them will be played at a
club near the Capital. For the last
two years clubs in nearby Maryland
have staged both sectional tourneys,
Chevy Chase and Columbia having
had the amateur events in 1932 and
1933 and Congressional and Manor
having staged the open trials in 1932
and 1933. Indian Spring was the
only local club which made a bid for
either tourney for 1934, but the pow
ers-that-be within the councils of
the U. S G. A. have decided to send
the amateur trials to Baltimore, at
the course over which the national
simon-pure title chase of 1932 was
played. Five Farms is rated as one
of the outstanding courses of the
East and should be In excellent condi
tion on August 21. With the cham
Monship proper to be staged at Boston
in September and with every en
trant who qualifies sectionally to
start at once at match play, there
is no question that the entry list from
the Capital for the 36-hole sectional
rounds at Five Farms will be bulky.
D. C. Gets Women's Classic.
MUCH the same situation may
exist in the open tourney trials
at Lakeside In Richmond, for
the open tournament Itself will be
played at Philadelphia early in June
and all the local pros will try to qualify.
But a good deal depends on how
many places are awarded to Rich
mond as to whether the bulk of the
Washington pros will go there. In
the past some of them have essayed
qualification at Pittsburgh and Phila
dephia. and with the tourney
going outside of Washington for the
first time in four years, the local field
at Richmond may be small.
In place of these events of national
magnitude, however. Washington gets
the Curtis Cup matches at Chevy
Chase late In September, a golf affair
that will bring to the Capital the
leading feminine players of the
United States and Great Britain. It
also gets the Middle Atlantic women *
title event at the Washington Golf
and Country Club in October.
