From the Press Box Can't Believe Managers, Baseball Expert Finds By JOHN LARDNER, Special Correspondent of The Star. NEW YORK, April 26.—You can't trust a baseball manager as far as you can throw Jimmy Poxx. Take the case of Joe Cronin of the Boston Red Sox, an inscrutable, devious sort of fellow who has been boasting about a rookie pitcher named Hash and saying nothing whatever about a rookie pitcher named Harris. Harris, Mickey Harris, is a left hander whom I mentioned last month as looking very good (said Lardner modestly). I^aw him pitch four or five innings in an early March game against Brooklyn. He had good speed and much more coolness and poise than you’d ex pect in a green youth of 21, 'fresh up from Scranton. However, your scout was tempted to disbelieve the evidence of his eyes when Mr. Cronin, discussing the ball club, carefully talked all around Harris. "Harris has got it,” said Mr. Cronin. "He’ll be a winner. But land looks good. Rich’s arm seems to be 'Okay again. Watch Bagby. Keep your eye on Gklehouse. Oster mueller may be all right. Don’t overlook-” “You have a young left-hander,” began your agent timidly. Grove Young in Age Compared With Mack “Ah, yes,” said Mr. Cronin, smil ing broadly. "You refer to Mose Grove. And you do well to call him young. Young in spirit, young in outlook, young in age, too, if you compare him with Connie Mack or Judge Landis. Ah, yes, indeed,” said Mr. Cronin expansively, as he strolled away, "my young left-hand er, Mose Grove, is one of Nature’s noblemen. I’m glad you mentioned him.” This sort of patter confused me no little. Did Harris have some gruesome secret? Was he wanted by the police of Elkhart, Ind? Mr. Cronin seemed bent on covering him up, with whiskers if necessary, and all you heard around the camp, on the subject of rookie pitchers, was Hash, Hash, Hash. Now, Herbie Hash is by no means a bad young pitcher. His record last year in the American Associa tion, a double-A league, speaks for Itself. But he looked to me to be a year or so away from complete suc cess in the big time this spring, and when the hour came to make out my list of rookies-of-the-year, the boys with the best chance of making the grade in 1940, I leaned to young Harris rather than Hash. Nats All but Helpless Against Rook Lefty But Cronin’s attitude on the sub ject seemed sinister. The way Joe behaved, Harris probably would be back in the minors before the sea son opened. And there is no sense In picking a man for rookie-of-the year if he is going to spend his year in the bushes. So I wrote down the name of Hash and relapsed into deep and mournful contemplation. I was aroused from the same with a jolt this week, when I noticed in the papers that one Mickey Harris, of southpaw persuasion, had started for Boston against Washington, had gone the route, and had blanked the Nationals for the first six in nings-yielding two runs late in the game when his team had given him a lead of 7 to 0. Furthermore, this boisterous rookie had fanned eight men, which seems to hint at a certain amount of speed. He had walked only one, which seems to Indicate poise and coolness. I guess it is the very same Harris I had in mind, though why Mr. Cronin should wait til how to rip off his whiskers is more than I can say. Harris Pitching Gravy For Red Sox Outfit I don’t want to go on record as calling this youth a star.' There may well be better young pitchers around. But Harris is a pretty good pitcher already, and doubtless will get better, which is very im portant to the Boston campaign. With good pitching, Boston can win the pennant. Without it, the Sox are sunk. Thus, if they were not banking on any wins from Harris, the boy is gravy, all gravy. But I have an idea that Mr. Cronin was banking on him just a bit. Jo seph is more devious than his open Irish pan would lead you to believe. Up to date, Boston pitching re sults are not bad. Grove appears to be the same old Grove, good for at least 1\ victories. Bagby’s work is encouraging. Dickman looked pretty fair in one start, and Wil son’s trouble is mostly wildness. Harris, as I say, is pure velvet. If Rich. Galehouse, and Hash can match these performances, then Mr. Cronin ought to be able to select himself a rotation of four reasonably effective starting pitchers from the list, with Grove working once a week and some of the others pitch ing in spots. There is a log of pine wood handy, tnd I am going to knock it three times. I don’t want to spoil the year for young Harris—mysterious Mickey, as we call him at the lodge. - , Three Mentioned For Duckpin Job By the Associated Press. NEW HAVEN, Conn., April 26.—A. A. Hosselton of Rich mond, Va.; Arville Ebersole of Washington, D. C., and Ed Feus tel of New Haven were mentioned today as possibilities for the post of executive secretary of the National Duckpin Bowling Con gress. The election of officers tonight, generally a minor event, took on a major aspect in view of the death last week of George L. Isemann of Washington. The post paid a salary of $5,200 last year. The American Legion All Stars of New Britain furnished the only fireworks in last night’s championships, rolling a 1,913 to grab fourth place in the men’s open team division. New Leaders Loom As Strong Squads Roll at Arcadia Brookland Leagues Head City Tourney Lineup; Bill Krauss Second With bowlers of the strong Brook land Merchants and Building Sup ply leagues bidding for champion ships a new crop of teams, doubles and singles leaders looms tonight in the Washington City Duckpin Asso ciation tournament at the Arcadia. Irwin Simon, captain of the pen nant-winning Kann team of the Department Store League will strive for the Class A singles lead when a squad of 45 opens the sixth night of the 30th annual championships at 7:15 p.m. The crack Petworth dou bles team of Rocco Nocera and Nick Benner are down for doubles at 10 p.m. Team action is carded at 8. Four New Leaders Crop Up. Four new leaders appeared last night as Everett H. Browning of the Bakers League took over first place in Class D singles with 355. Robert J. Hoffman, jr., of the H. O. L. C. shot 336 to grab the top spot in Class E singles, while Kermit Goodyear of the Soil Conservation League banged out 326 to assume first place in Class F. Bill Krauss took over second place in Class A singles with 382 as Meyer Weinberg, star of the Hebrew and Distributors Leagues, shot into sec ond place in Class B with 393. His 394 in. doubles gave him a flying start in the Class B all-events. Sid ney Brown was tops in Class C last night, taking second place with 364. Kaschub and Simmons Lead. Two Patent Office rollers, Herbie Kaschub and Lorona Simmons, gained the lead in Class B doubles with 722. Mannie Landsman and Weinberg, with 709, placed third in Class B doubles. A 704 gave E. R. Cole and E. M. Castle fourth in Class C. The highest in the team rolling was Woodward & Lothrop’s 1,725 for second place in Class C, while the Circle team of the Motion Picture League gained fourth place with 1,676. W. Anderson's 161—395 paced the movie operators who outrolled the Capitol gang, headed by the veteran Charley Plunkett. Capitol, with 1,633, is fourth in Class D. Roosevelt moviemen are third in Class E with 1,584. Dropkicks Miss Goal As Murphy Yields To Irish Angel Victory Scored After Customers Toss Tough ' Matman Back to Ring On the strength of a near-ca pacity turnout last night. Promoter Joe Turner had reason to feel en couraged today over his new affili ation with the Pfefer troupe of wrestlers who began operations at the Arena last night in crowd pleasing style. Several times tossed to the cus tomers in the first two rows, the Irish Angel returned to defeat Dropkick Murphy in the feature bout, employing an airplane spin for the clincher. The feature bout lasted 30 minutes, with the spec tators thoroughly enjoying the dra matics put on by each. Murphy tied the Angel in a knot and booted his chin for two drop kicks, but on the third, the Angel swung a right on Dropkick’s chin, spun him over his head and pinned him for the count. It took Zim Zam Zum only minutes to finish Otto Wallick, who protested Z. Z. Z. had strangled him in the semifinal, while Carol Zbyszko went 24 minutes to beat Vanka Zelesniak and Maurice Boyer and Benny Rosen defeated John Melas and Juan Olaguival, respectively. p ^ ---- * ( Sectional Scrap Seen With Washington in Storm Center Ebersole Among Leading Candidates; New Setup For Congress Planned A plan hatched by the fertile mind of George L. Isemann prom ises to be the main topic of discus sion tonight at New Haven, Conn., when a successor to the late execu tive-secretary of the National Duck pin Bowling Congress is named at the annual meeting of the organiza tion. For some years, Isemann, who died * week ago last Wednesday while conducting the 13th annual tour nament at New Haven, the biggest in the congress’ history, realized the necessity of several assistant or re gional secretaries. But lack of funds kept him from appointing assistants except in the territory where the national tournament was held. •V times there wasn’t enough money in the congress’ treasury to pay even his salary, but although George weathered the lean days somehow he didn’t expect others to go unpaid, particularly if they were key men. So for 13 years, ill or well, he traveled the duckpin territory on business much of which an assist ant could have handled. Take Up Isemann’s Plans. His final trip was a fatal one. His sudden death rocked the bowling world. The things he sought now are of major importance to every duckpin alley owner, manager and bowler. Unless there is a hitch, particu larly in the plans of the operators, the Executive Committee, which votes generally as instructed by the operators who pay the running ex penses of the congress, a general secretary with two or three assist ants will be elected. The plan, it is understood, calls for the appointment of a secretary for the New England territory, one for The Central Atlantic section and one for the South with probable headquarters at Atlanta. One of the three will act as general sec retary. The extreme South Is in dire need of a national official to carry on the groundwork started by Isemann. Duckpins, on the boom in Florida for several years, now are being re placed by tenpins. So tonight Instead of the invasion of hundreds of Southern bowlers being of major interest, the election of a man to fill the important post of general secretary has caused those most vitally affected—the alley operators—to be at the scene of the meeting in unprecedented force. Baltimore which long has wanted the office of the secretary, is ex pected to put up a stiff fight to elect a man from the Monumental City. Washington, where home offices always had been maintained by Isemann, also is anxious to have the secretaryship. With Ed Feusel of New Haven doing a swell Job of running the present tournament, the duckpin bosses of Connecticut ap pear to have an edge in the selec tion of general secretary, but strong ly backed will be Arville Ebersole secretary of the Washington City Duckpin Association. Rosslyns to Bowl Tomorrow. Among Washington’s contingent of bowlers expected to make strong bids for the various championships tomorrow will be the champion Rosslyn team of the District League, headed by Astor Clarke; Chevy Chase, captained by Jack Talbert; Convention Hall, led by Julius Sing er; Lucky Strike, with Jimmie Moore at the helm: Brookland Recreation and Russell Motors of Mount Rainier. Washington’s only defending champion, Mabelle Hering, the na tional woman’s singles titleholder, will roll with Arcade-Pontiac, while other Ladies’ District League teams will Include the champion Rosslyn quint, the runner-up Chevy Chase combination, Lucky Strike, twice winner of the team event; Red Circle Food Shop and Arcadia. Bronson Quaites, president of the congress, will captain a picked Convention Hall girls’ team. Seven Classes Listed In Colonial Horse Show Tomorrow George Washington U. will hold its annual horse show at Ray’s Meadow on the East-West Highway tomorrow starting at 2 pjn. Seven classes are scheduled—stu dent jumping, open hunters, open jumpers, hunter hack, pair hack, G. W. horsemanship, fraternity and so rority hack (any school). Prizes and ribbons will be award ed in each class. A championship will be given to the high point win ner of the open classes. Maj. Henry Leonard will judge.

Bimelech's Visitors Must Check Stop Watches By EDDIE BRIETZ, Associated Press 8ports Writer. NEW YORK, April 26.—Re porters going to Col. E. R. Brad ley’s Idle Hour farm to watch Bimelech must check their stop watches at the gate. An exhibi tion golf match among Babe Ruth, Gene Sarazen, Jimmy De maret and Gene Tunney is being lined up for Norwalk, Conn., May 12. Dead ringers: Max Baer and Phil Harris, leader of the Jack Benny Band—clothes and all. In that cigarette ad show ing George Washington Case slid ing into second base, the umpire is Frankie Baxter, the Nationals’ clubhouse boy.

Mumps has all but floored the Michigan State baseball team what with Paul Starck, crack outfielder, and Norman Duncan, the leading batter, on the side lines with swollen chops. Ring side pews for Baer and Oalento will cost 12 yams—and ought to be worth it. Today’s guest star: Daniel F. Mulvey, New Haven Evening Register: "Not even ‘the Angel’ can rescue wrestling here. The game has gone plumb to the devil.’' Maybe he’s talking out of school, but Trainer Jack Black burn told the Terre Haute Star that Joe Louis’ next two fights will be with Arturo Oodoy and the Baer-Oalento winner.
