By BILL VAN FLEFT (Sports Editor. Galveston News) GALVESTON, Texas. March 15.

Eight players and Manager Billy Webb earned major league trials at the conclusion of last season and their loss to Gal PRIMO AND RAY SCRAP FRIDAY Camera Heavy Favorita In Battle Of Giant Bruisers NEW YORK.

Camera and Impellitiere would reach al most as high as Keith Brown pole vaults. Impellitiere. approximately six and a half feet tall, has a frac tional edge over Primo in height. The question of who will win is entirely secondary to the circus as pects of the bout. From a specta tor viewpoint, it should be one of the most entertaining shows of this or any other indoor season.

Their re turn would plug the three out standing weak spots on the club. In addition to the three above player*. Pitchers Jim Blvin and Orville Jorgens went to Philadelphia on a make-good basis and may be re turned before the start of the sea son. Jack Mealey. who succeeded Webb as manager, is proud of the pitch* ing alignment. Joe Gibb*, six-foot five youngster who was a sensa tion last year until he suffered a broken collar bone In mid-season, is counted on as ace of the staff. He won 15 games against 9 defeats last season Plenty of Hurler* With Gibbs la Jack Jakuckl. rookie who broke in with a siring of shutouts in mid-season of 1934; Eddie Cole, young righthander from the New York-Penn league, who won 18 games with the 7th place Hazleton club last season: Tom Davis, righthander, who won 13 games for Tulsa last year; Max Butcher, righthander, who formerly pitched in the Southern association and New York-Penn; Tim Mc Keithan, righthander, purchased from the Athletics; Hokie Garcia, righthander who joined the club last season wher Gibbs was Injured and won a couple of important games during the pennant drive; and two rookies. Cub Moore and Lefty Bracheen. Jimmy Walkup. veteran southpaw, is on the reserve list but has expressed a desire to be placed on the voluntary retired list. Behind the plate the Bucs mill be well fortified. Bob Linton, giant leftband hitter, is the No. 1 back stop. Don Maynard and Monk Keith are candidates for the sec ond string job. Manager Mealey will hold himself in readiness for emergency duty behind the plate. Sol Mishkin, a 335 hitter from the New York-Penn league, was counted on as the regular first baseman but he is seeking to go on the voluntary retired list. Galves ton officials hope to dissuade him. but have started hunting for an. other first baseman. Infieldrrs Needed Second base is wide open. Jim my McLeod, last year's shortstop, is a fielding star but a light hitter. Third base is wide open Rookie mfielders include Bob Yarter. who divided time between the outfield and Infield with Oklahoma City last season: and Freeman Ueckert. Carl Hardin and Mbright Hunt, all from the sandlots. Yarter Is con sidered an excellent utility man and may make the third base grade. Tonv Governor in center and Joe Prerost in left are considered out field fixtures. The right field Job is open with Gerall McQuaig. ob tained from the Athletics on op tion. the leading candidates. He will find competition from Fred Frink from Hazleton. Warren Bak er from the Chicago sandlots. and Zeke Mon from the Rio Grande Valley. Summed up. the Galveston pros pects are for strong pitching, strong catching. powerful defensive strength at shortstop and center field; fair performers at first base and leftfield from both the offen sive and defensive standpoint, and good all-around flay at second, third and right field If English, Fausett and Moses are returned.

AT 1ST BASE Hurlert Show Better l*orm With Jimmie Doing Catching BY ALAN GOULD FORT MYERS. Fla.. March 15 — (/P)—Upon the broad, capable shoul der* of James Emory Foxx re*U the chance to make the Philadelphia Athletics a first-division contend er in this year's American League pennant race. With Foxx shifted behind the bat. after seven years as one of the game's outstanding first base men and sluggers. Connie Mack be lieves he has filled the big gap created by the departure of Mickey Cochrane and fortified an other wise powerful, much improved ball dub. It is a drastic move Most prece dent is against its success and skeptical managers of rival teams believe a month or two will con vince Mack that Foxx Is still a great first baseman. Moreover there is the added risk of Injury to a player who is the powerhouse of the A s attack. So far. however, the evidence all points to a happy conclusion for all concerned Pitchers Like Foxx The pitchers nave already gam ed more confidence with Foxx re ceiving them. Jimmie’s presence. Mack feels, will mean at least 25 per cent improvement in the A s pitching. Jimmie’s success Is essential to the team's prospects for the reason that the only backs) / of exper ience available otherwise is the veteran Charley Berry, let go after last season but re-hired for relief duty. Foxx tVnself is so optimistic that ‘ he predict three of the younger ' sharpshooters. Joe Casrarella. BUI Dietrich and Johnny Marcum, will turn In as many as 55 victories under his direction. Merritt (Su gar* Cain, who lost six games by 2-1 marg.ns last year, says he won’t drop the close ones this sea son with Foxx handling him. Al ton Benton a sophomore, and Le roy Mahaffey. a veteran, both right-handers, probably will round out the starting corps. The jest freshman prospect Is Charles Lieber. right-hander draft pn from the San Francisco Mis s.ons. Hooks at First The main switch in the A’s line up leaves a big hole at first base which Alex Hookb, obtained from 'Tulsa, can only partially fill. Hook' a left-hander, is good defensively, but no fence-cracker at bat If he doesn't come through. Lou Finney, an outfield substitute for several years, is available. The infield otherwise is first-class with Bio Williams back in form at second base. Eric McNair at short and Frank (Pinky) Higgins at third. Wallace Moses, Georgia boy who come up from Galveston in the Texas League, ha* shown so much speed and all-round ab.ltly that he may displace big Ed Coleman in right field. Moses looks like the logical leadoff man and is better defensively than Coleman, who has {yet to fulfill his promise a* a slug ger. Roger Cramer in center, and Bob Johnson. In left are fixtures. The A's may have seven .300 hit tes in their batting order. With such fiower and if the great Foxx experiment works, the club looms as the dark-horse of the pennant race.

Up-set after up-set has marked the competition as the clubs came down the home stretch. The BPOEs had a fighting chance but were knocked off by the Goodyears, the most Improved club in the league.
