1 i of of of EIGHT THE ANNISTON STAR WEDNESDAY, JAN. 13, 1932 I TWO CHANGES IN WASHINGTON LINEUP IN '32 Revision in Roster Not Enough to Bring Pennant to Capital, Said By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Jan. two changes are likely be made in the Washington lineup this season, and it is doubtful 11 they will be enough -to convert the third-place Senators Into a pennant winner. The addition of Carl Reynolds, outfielder obtained in a trade with the Chicago White Sox, probably will give the Senators more punch, but they sacrificed pitchi: strength to get him. Unless Montie Weaver, who won 21 games and lost IT for Baltimore last year, replaces Pitchers Irving Hadley, and Sam Jones, sent to the White Sox, along with Infielder Hayes, for Reynolds and Infielder Kerr.

Washington's pitching staff will be weaker than last year. Washington is counting heavily on Reynolds, who batted. only 290 last year but was handicapped by Illness and injuries, and. Weaver to step into regular berths and keep the Senators in the thick- of the pennant race. Reynolds batted 350 In 1930 and tied with Babe Ruth for third place in the Amerl-1 can League batting race.

Except for Reynolds and Weaver Washington's lineup will be much the same as last year. The Senators have 26 players, the second amaDest squad in the American League. They have seven rookies, but, outside of Weaver, the only other youngster with chance to make seems to be Outfielder Boyle, batid 310 for Baltimore, and Ragland, right-handed who won 13 games and lost the Chattanooga Southern League club. Joe who played 139 games at base, is expected to keep Judge on the bench permanyear. During the last few the Senators have tried many" an effort to replace the but he usually wound the initial sack.

Myer Cronin, the best in the American League, and at third round out the inManush, West and Reynolds a strong outfield. The probable lineup follows: Player: Batting average 1931: 18-Kuhel .269 28-Myer .293 3B-Bluege .272 85 Cronin .306 LP -Manush .307 CF -West .333 RF-Reynolds .290 Spencer 275- V. F. W.

There was A time when wicked and busy puncher was the cream of Loughran's coffee, meaning that when Tommy was in his heyday he liked nothing better than to take some hard-hitting, always- boringin chappie and left punch him nigh unto death. But those days A.S King Levinsky. a brash young Chicago mug proved recently are past. The King.

Charley Harvey, Hamas' manager undoubtedly will, tell his boy to do the same thing -wade in from the start and keep wading in thereafter.

I doubt if Steve will throw AS many punches toward Loughran as did the King. but he'll throw 'em harder. Levinsky is a swinger and he stuns rather than paralyzes. Hamas is sharp, clean puncher as hts record of 23 knockouts in 26 fights testifies. When he lands.

If Hamas has Levinsky's luck and smacks Loughran four or five clean ones, I expect to see Tommy go down and stay down. I hope this doesn't happen for it would mean the end of the string for the Philadelphian.

And when Loughran quits the ring will lose one of its most fearless and honest fighters. Don't be surprised 11 Loughran beats Hamas. Tommy has been counted out before only to come back. When. Sharkey knocked him.

Thusly, Joe Cashman.

sports writer on The Boston Amerman staff, began a write-up of the local professional ball player. Cashman continues: "For this young draftee from Raleigh, N. happens to be the only southpaw among the Tribe's mound rookies, and Pilot Bill happens to have acquired very decided southpaw complex since the remarkable show. ing of Ed- Brandt and the betterthan -average performance of O1' Tom Zachary last season. "Coleman is 22 years old and has been playing pro ball for four years.

The Detroit Tigers picked him off the sandlots back in 1928 and farmcd him out to Hanover, Pa." The local pitcher has climbed up the ladder twice. On the verge of entering AA baseball about two years ago, he was suddenly hampered. with a broken thumb which kept him from Spring practice and ruined his chances for the time being. He started back up the ladder and expects to stick at the top this with full consideration. of course, for unforeseen accidents.

Cashman says, "A glance at Frank's record makes one wonder why he has been tossed around so much. He won 14 games and lost only eight at Evansville- in 1929. and he won 11 and lost 9 with Raleigh in '30. Last season he turned in 14 victories in 19 starts." This is the second write -up that Coleman has received in Boston papers. another having appeared in The Boston Post several weeks ago.

MAYOR HANDED BRIOK, WHISKEY AT RESIDENCE Unidentified Youth Calls at Home and Gives Articles to Reaves An unidentified white youth presented Mayor Sidney J. Reaves with brick and a bottle of whiskey Tuesday night at his home at 2000 Noble Street. The Mayor was puzzled over the matter and called Chief Lot Police Sam O. Smith. gave him the booze.

and asked him to search for the man. Thus far he has not been found. Someone- rapped on the mayor st door and one of the children answered the rap. "Daddy, a man wants to see you," the Mayor was told. The mayor went to the door, but failed to turn on the porch light.

The youth handed forth brick and a bottle: "They've been a trying to throw these at your house." he told the mayor, "do you want them." The mayor answered in the affirmative and took the bottle and the brick and left the man sitting on the steps. "I didn't know it was never occurred to me that anyit one would come up and hand the recorder the evidence until I uncorked the bottle took a whiff," the mayor recalled. He then called Chief Smith and the neighborhood was searched, but no one was found answering the description Mayor Reaves could give. Anyway; the liquor is. locked up in the cupboard at police headquarters and the owner can get it by proper identification, Mayor Reaves said.

What else will go along with the booze or how long one can have it he did not say, "After it was all over and I could see back, I thought that the fellow was terribly drunk or demented. didn't smell any whiskey on his breath, though," the mayor said. Joe Engel Makes Public His Partner Lookouts Climbing in the By GARNETT D. HORNER United Press Staff Correspondent Jan. you're baseball fan, you've probably heard of Joe Engel, president of the Chattanooga Lookouts who finished in the first division in the Southern Association standings last season for the first time since Aunt Emma threw away her bustle.

Joe is known among men whose busir.ess is baseball as the fellow who took over a ball club in one of the worst "baseball towns" in circuit and made it into one of the best drawing cities during his first year and even more so his second term. This was something unusua! enough to attract considerable attention in years when more minor leagurs were disbanding on account for poor attendance and consequent financial collapse of many clubs than were showing a profit. Many minor league club owners are lying awake nights now trying to figure out how they are going t. survive the swiftly approaching season. But Joe is not among these He has solved the problem.

Here's how, he told the United Press, he does it: "The fundamental thing in making a success of a baseball club, 01 anything else depending on th public for support, is get and hold: the confidence of the public. "I sincerely think of and. run club, not as Joe Engel's private business, but as a civic institutionsomething that belongs to the people of Chattanooga, and incidentally is providing me a living. The people repay me by coming out to support club that they think of as their own." Joe was in Atlanta to talk up a basketball game here tomorrow night between the Celtics, claimants of the world's professional championship and the Chattanooga Lookouts--known as the Tepcos until Engel took over the cage team this season. That basketball proposition is an Illustration of how Joe's civic spirit works.

The former backers of the team, which in several years play had become recognized as the best in the South, withdrew financial support this season. Joe thought a championship basketball team was a civic asset to the city from an advertising standpoint and stepped in with sufficient financial support -to prevent its disbanding. But back to baseball -Joe was very much amused at a press dispatch the other day from an Eastern city relating that the baseball club there already had sold. one reservation for the opening game of the season. The Chattanooga club.

already has sold 677 reservations for opening day! Engel, with the financial support of "Clark Griffith, owner of the Washington Senators, purchased the Chattanooga club in the Fall of 1929. It was just about On the rocks. that year, had: totalled 78,000. In 1930, the first year under Engel's generalship, the season attendance was 146,000, and last season it grew to 172,000 -more than 50,000 over Chattanooga's population of 119,000.

This last Christmas, for instance, he fed 5,625 of Chattanooga's employed bountiful Christinas dinpers at ball park-some more "civic spirit." Decorating his grandstand with canaries and exploiting a girl pitcher-Jackie Mitchell who struck out Babe Ruth in an exhibition game last Spring-were just A couple of the more frivolous things Engel has done to keep Old Man Public from forgetting about the Chattanooga Lookouts. Oh yes--Joe expects to have good a baseball team this season that might even realize his ambition of giving Chattanooga its first pennant winning club. In 1931, Chattanooga was surpassed in attendance figures only by Birmingham, outdrawing by several thousand New Orleans, Atlanta and Memphis, larger cities In the circuit.
