Not only is he face to face with the task of bringing the Yanks back to their former position in: the league by winning the pennanty in his first year, but he also is confronted with the task of re- building the pitching staff that crumbled so badly last season. McCarthy could only bank upon one or two hurlers to do regular . duty as it should be done, with his main hopes being centered on George Pipgras, ace of the Yankee mound corps in 1930. And then. just before the start of the train ing season, Pipgras suffered an acute attack of appendicitis and was taken to a hospital to be oper- : ated upon.

Jack Lenfesty, who gained con- siderable fame for himself digging divots on the Varsity golf team last spring, has long been recognized as a conspicuous contender for golf- ing honors in the Chicago district. Although Jack hasn't managed to break into the "big money' class in the larger tournaments, he has on several occasions fought his way into the semi-finals, and bids fair eliminated in the semi-finals of the Chicago City tournament, 2-1, and in the qu4rter-finals of the West- ern Junior, 3-2. Loses at Indianwood. Several invitational tournaments in the Chicago district fell before his masterful stroke last year, but he ran into his old jinx again and lost out in the later rounds of the bigger meets. In the Western Open at Indianwood his 54 hole total of 232 eliminated him by one stroke FISHER PINS* HOPES ON THHREEBATTERS Hudson, Tompkins, Eastman Favored to Carry Brunt of Varsity Attack. All the members of the baseball squad being accounted for with the appearance of Daniels last week, Coach Ray Fisher is continuing with strenuous daily practice ses- sions in the field house. Batting practice is still being stressed by cago, where Coach Matt Mann will attempt to guide them on their way to a national title to add to their already brilliant record of a Big Ten championship. Michigan's big threats will be in the breaststroke, the medley relay, and the 400-yard relay. If the Maize and Blue representatives can take first places in these events they will just about cinch the title, for a second or third place here and there in the 50-yard sprints, the 440, the 220, anct the free style are almost certainties with the aggregation of star natators that Coach Mann is taking to the Windy City. Schmieler Favored. Johnny Schmieler, holder of the worldrecord in the 200-yard breast stroke, is a favorite to take that event, for his mark of 2:31.4 has not been approached. Ted Moles, Princeton star and former holder of the collegiate mark of 2:34, has not been entered, thus eliminating one of the outstanding competitors for the title. Illness has kept Moles from entering. Schmieler's opposi- tion will come from aspirants as new as himself in Harms of Ford- ham, West of Princeton, Evans of Iowa, and Kruger of Minnesota. The middle, west is also favored to cop the backstroke for Lowell Marsh, Minnesota ace, who holds the Big Ten record at 1:43, holds the top position with the an- nouncement that George Kojac of Rutgers has not been entered in the event. Kojac has been swim- ming the 100 and the 220 in the past few meets this season. Two other Eastern men who will make a bid for this title are Ed Scherer and Bob Long, both of Princeton. Fancy diving competition seems, to be a place where Michigan will not shine, for four of the winners of the event last year are again entered. These include Lobdell of Iowa, winner of the Big Ten title, Mickey Riley of Southern Califor- nia, holder of the A. A. U. diving crown, Jack Fisher of Springfield, and Walter Grandy of Penn. Walter Nappa of Minnesota who took a sixth place last year is also enter-1 ed again.{ Free Style Strong. Michigan's quartet of free styleI natators, Ladd, Klintworth, Marcus, and Fenske will provide plenty of opposition for the other entries in the 100, 50 and 220-yard free style sprints, but none of them are good for a first place in these events. Smith is also favored to place high' in the 100-yard event, for he copped a fourth in' the meet last year.f Other sprint stars who will be comL peting include Kojac, who is the favorite in both the 100 and the 220, and Wilson of Northwestern. Schmieler looks good for a second place 'in the 220. Kennedy will be Coach Mann's best bet in the 440, but will find some tough opposition in AustinI Clapp, Stanford middle distaneb star, and Buster Crabbe of South- ern California. Crabbe is the A. A. U. 440 crawl champion. The Michi- gan entry looks good for a second place in this event. Cincinnati Reds Seek. to Buy Cardinal Star TAMPA, Fla., Mar. 25.-()-Re- ports that the Cincinnati Reds had offered $40,000 for Chick Hafey, holdout outfielder of the St. Louis Cardinals, were discounted here to- day. In the absence of Sidney Weil, president, the report could not be confirmed, but Manager Howley said he doubted that Weil would pay that much, TYPEWRITING & i% i ! rand MIMEOGRAPHING A speciality for tweinty years., Prompt service . . .

Pip- gras will be lost to the team for several weeks, even though he is recovering rapidly from the -opera- tion. But even when he does get back he will take some time to get into his best physical condition, so that it will likely be mid-season before the Yankee ace can operate with his full effectiveness. Meanwhile McCarthy will be forced to rely on Charlie Ruffing as his first string hurler, with several other holdovers from last year, all of them mediocre pitchers, to assist the former Red Sox star. Of all the BRmUINS GI,N LEAD Come From Behind to Nose Out Champs; Meet in Second Contest Tonight. NEW YORK, Mar. 25.-(IP)-To the bruising Boston Bruins and the speedy New York Rangers go the honors of the first night in the playoffs among National Hockey League clubs for the Stanley Cup, emblem of the world's professional hockey championship. The Toronto Maple Leafs and Chicago Blackhawks, the third pair of teams to see action in hockey's "World Series" Tuesday night, fail- ed to reach a decision, winding up their 60 minutes of play in a 2-2 tie. Boston was late in showing its power but came through in the third period to overtake the world's champion Montreal Canadiens and won, 5 to 4, after nearly 20 minutes of overtime play in the first of a five game series between the teams that topped the two divisions. The Rangers routed the Montreal Maroons, their rivals in the two- game third place series, 5 to 1. This series, like that between the sec- ond place Toronto and Chicago teams, is decided on the basis of total goals scored in two games. The first place teams play again in Boston tonight before moving to Montreal to complete their series. George ipgras men on the Yankee pitching staff, it was a break of the toughest kind that will keep the team's star out of the game for such a long period. Defeated Pirates. Pipgras has been one of the stars of the league for a period covering approximately five years. The tall right hander got his first chance to start many games for the Yanks in the year that the Gotham club met the Pittsburgh Pirates in the World Series and walked off with four straight games. Pipgras pitch- ed the second game of that series, and as at the time he was just a raw rookie, he brought considerable attention on himself as a result of the case with which he tamed the Pirates. With Herb Pennock growing older every year and losing his effective- ness slowly, the 'Yankee pilots, Huggins and Shawkey, have come more and more to depend on Pip- gras to carry them through the sea- son. , TRYOUTS REPORT Oosterbaan Starts Batterymen to Work in Field House. About 12 or 15 freshmen have be- gun practice as pitchers and catch- ers on the freshman baseball squad, Coach Oosterbaan said yesterday. Workouts have been held daily since Monday. So far the men have engaged only in limbering-up ex- ercises to get their arms in shape, so no estimate of available talent can be made this early. The fielders and the remainder of the squad will not be assembled for practice before Spring vacation. They will be asked to report im- mediately after returning to school.
