It was with the pitching firm of Me and Paul "You know there's a good chance that the suggestion may be all remarked one veteran. "There may be only six in second grpup when the season begins to "warm upt "I see where they think now that Mickey Cochrane may be back behind the bat in spite of his retirement and that Schoolboy Rowe'a arm is coming along well, so far. If that battery gets to going again, the Tigers will give the Yankees all they want" And, of course, there is that IF. But it's a capital DJ and not even Rowe himself is any too hopeful of his future.

You judge that after reading his recent statement: 'Td pitch the entire season for nothing if I thought my arm would be all right" The Tigers really have a lot of power this year both on the mound and at bat The return to form of a formidable battery like Cochrane and Rowe would certainly change those 3-to-5 odds against the Yanks and the 13-to-5 against Detroit Even as matters stand, the Yanks, it seems to this writer, are 3-to-5 shots more because of their past prestige than because of their present powerhouse bat- tlefront On the Wing. LOUIS TITESZ entertained spectators here, including members of the Browns, with a wrestling appearance and, to judge by the applause for his underdog rival, Juan Humberto, Louis is not winning much popularity in the beans and tortilla circuit in which the St Louisan, former "world champion," Is now garnering the kale. Louis hopped Into San Antonio around 6 o'clock Wednesday, flopped Humberto twice in half an hour or so, and then hopped the rattler for Houston, where he wrestled again Friday. It all led up to another match with Crusher Casey, with whom Thesz is matched at St Louis tomorrow night It's al! so baffling this wrestling procedure. Imagine a man six days before wrestling the champion of the world, to regain a title he once held, taking chances by appearing in fly-by-the-night shows.

He should be spending weeks in preparation for the struggle. Joe Louis, preparing for his match with a secondary fighter, Nathan Mann, spent a month in training camp; he put in at least three weeks more tuning up for Thomas, in wrestling, a shave and a haircut seem about all the preparation required. Most Traveled Bowlers. BOWLERS FROM HAWAII stopped off here last week, en route from Honolulu to the American Bowling Congress tourna ment They will roll in Chicago April 13-14, A five-man team total of 2578, a pretty fair average for a women's team, makes one wonder that men would travel so far with so little hope of success as the score indicates. It costs about $1000 for each man to make the round trip, and that's more than the bowlers would receive per capita if they won the five-man team championship prize.

Most of the bowlers are army Lewis Defeats Barnev Ross By tli Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, April 6. To Trade Moses To the Browns SAN ANTONIO, April 6. AN official of the Browns, who did not wish to have nis identity revealed, admitted that the club recently bad made an attempt to procure Outfielder Wallie Moses from the Athletics. The Browns were reported to have offered two of their vet- erans, Pitcher Jack Knott and Outfielder Sammy West, in addition to $7500 in cash, for the A'a fly chaser.

However, Man ager Connie Mack, determined to retain Moses at the salary he wishes to pay him, refused to agree to the deal. PICARD'S 285 WINS ALL-STAR GOLF TOURNEY By ths Associated Press. AUGUSTA, April 5. No one was more certain that Henry Pi- card would win the all-star Au gusta National Golf Show than the "Hershey Hurricane" himself. Tall Henry isn't the bragging type, but he is the sort of golfer who will tell you when he feels that they're going to hang up his number in a tournament The Pennsylvania pro, 30 years old and a native of Plymouth, practised only once before the start of the golfing feature of the winter and the putts were roll ing for him.

They continued to roll and that's the story of the vic tory that won him $1500 for his score of 285. And, for Ralph Guldahl of Chi cago, the national open champion who was edged out of the big prize here a year ago, it was the failure of the putts to roll that cost him a possible tie and playoff for the championship. Even Through 69 Holes. Looking back over the scoring records, one finds that Picard and Guldahl were exactly even through 69 holes. But at the seventieth hole, Guldahl three-putted, where Picard got his par.

Again at the seventy-second, the big Chicago champion three-putted and Picard came along to get his par. There Is where the winner grabbed two strokes that saved him from deadlocking with Gul dahl and Lighthorse Harry Cooper of Chicago, who knocked off a sub-par 71 on the final round to finish in a tie for second place with Guldahl. They had 287's. All in all, it was a great tourna ment Picard was a popular win ner. Bobby Jones, who helped put the big show on the winter trail for his lone competitive appearance since his retirement in 1930, came through better than expected.

Attendance records were broken and the weather man was kind, after a shaky start that washed out the play after seven twosomes had completed nine holes on Fri day. Cooper shot a 68, four under, for the first round lead. Ed Dud ley, the Augusta national professional, fired rounds of 70-69 to take the halfway lead when Cooper soared to a second round 77. Sarazan Faltered. vooper came back close with a third-round 71 as Dudley dropped back with a 77.

It was at this stage that Picard assumed the lead with rounds of 71-72-72, never to be beaded. Gene Sarazen, the Con necticut farmer, put on a great exhibition of 70-68 on the second and third rounds and then dropped rar Dack with a finishing 79. While Jones put together rounds of 76-74-72-75 for a 297 total and a tie for sixteenth place, his best effort since a thirteenth Dlace fin- ish in 1934, Sam" Snead, the slug ging rookie from White Sulphur springs, w. went the way of aw previous favorites.

That is, they had no ex. hibition game scheduled. But Manager Gabby Street had cut. lined enough work to keep his men busy as they went through the last stages of training work in prepare tion for the coming of their first big league rivals, the Chicago Cubs, who open a series of six games here Friday. "It's a bit early to say this," tfc Browns' manager said, "but I havs to start guarding against over-con-fidence.

They believe in themselves. They believe in me. Tbey feel like I do that we have quits a ball club. Thev haven't lnct game and they simply don't know what it means to lose.

The former Washington Senator allowed but one mt, ana in that inning when the Mudhens made the blow pitched himself out of a hole by striking out two fair hitters, Cecil Dunn and Charley Gelbert, with men on first and third base, "Ed had a fine curve," Street ex. plained. "If he could jnst learn to kepn thnf hall mi- i iwwer on the batters I think he'd be a ereat pitcher." 6 Of course, the Brownie playen in general appeared Quite iubilant over the triumph, for they pointed out that it proved the team has the fight and pluck to come ftom behind and win.

Trailing 3-0 in the fourth inning, following a bad start by Southpaw Howard Milla, the Browns kept plugging away, picking up a run in the fourth on George McQuinn's double and a single by Bell, and adding another in the sixth, when, after two were out, they filled the bases and then had a run given to them when Roy uiew Pass off Bob Ha ris, Toledo righthander. Kress Hits Home Run. In the eighth, with the veteran Fred Marberry pitching, Red Kress, who has developed a habit of hit. ting homers in the pinch this spring, hammered a drive over th leit neid fence, tying the score. An inning later, after a line drive off Kress' bat had virtually knocked Marberry out of the box, Southpaw Johnny Johnson came in and saw the Browns push over the winning run when Harlond Clift singled with McQuinn on third.

Three Browns Released. General Manager Bill De Witt announced that two young pitchers had been released. Ewald Fyle was sent tc San Antonio, Browns' farm club in the Texas League, and Bill Miller was optioned to Holly-wood, in the Pacific Coast League.

PETERSBURG, April 5. In their final game at the St Petersburg training base yesterday, the Cardinals drubbed the Washington Senators, 11 to 8, bringing their "Grapefruit League" record to 11 victories against 13 defeats. It was not a pitcher's game, the batters having all the better of the argument, the 29 safeties, 15 for the. Birds and 14 for the Senators, including two doubles, two triples and two home runs. The three new southpaws upon whom Manager Frisch Is counting for help this season did the burl ing.

Max Macon started and after allowing nine hits and three Vuns in six rounds was replaced by Roy Hens haw. Henshaw ran into rough wfather in the eighth, when the Senators pounded him for four hits and five runs. Max Lanier finished. He stopped the American Leaguers without a safety in the one round he toiled. The Cardinals picked up a big early lead at the expense of Jimmy DeShong, one of Bucky Harris' reg ulars.

Enos Slaughter, the new right fielder, found him for a hom er in the first and then the Birds fell on his offerings for five tallies in the second and added three more in the fourth. Two more markers came off Pete Appleton in the sev-entn. In addition to Slaughter, Jimmy Bucher, who replaced Stu Martin at second base, hit a home run on his only appearance at the plate.

BALTIMORE, April 5. Leo Wal per, Middle Atlantic rroiessionai Golf Association champion, was sus pended for 30 days and directed to write a letter of apology to George Jacobus, president of the National P.

The action was taken after the officers were read a letter from Jacobus which charged a violation of the code of ethics at an incident in Sarasoto, Fla.

The nature of the incident was not disclosed. The vote of suspension, dating from March 16, was unanimous. Lifting of the ban on April 15 will permit Walper to defend his title and play in Ihe Middle Atlantic open at Old Point Comfort, Va, April 22-24.

At least $50,000, set aside for the five-man, two-man, individual and all-events championships would not only greatly enhance interest in the event and stimulate entries, but would give an added zest to keglers from far-flung territories which annually send their quotas of contestants thousands of miles. The only indication of ABC interest, in the suggestion was the proposal to increase the entrance fees for the all-events to $5 and thus create a separate prize fund of $10,000 for this championship.

Queer Things Happen. THE VETERAN BOXERS Association threw a dinner recently and voted Jimmy Braddock the most deserving and most courageous fighter of last year. We are not carping but merely curious when we point out that Braddock, after beating Tommy Farr, turned down a very lucrative match with Max Baer and retired. Jimmy is both courageous and deserving, no doubt; but it's hard to see where he wins any medals for being a standout in the respects mentioned. If anybody deserves a medal it is none other than the fellow who once was almost laughed out 'of the ring Max Baer.

He battled his way back into popularity and second place among the challengers of Champion Joe Louis last year he was not among the first ten. In doing so Baer overcame popular prejudice, the effects of a terrific beating by Louis and still another defeat that by Farr, to prove himself once more a real fighting man. The V. B. Association seems to have booted one, in this matter.

Showing They're Interested. THE BROWNS were at infield practice Oscar Melillo was batting grass-cutters at Heffner, Kress, Hughes and others. A newspaper man walked up to Melillo and engaged him in conversation. Time passed. No balls were batted at the infield men, who fidgeted while waiting for activity to resume.

Finally, Kress shouted to Melillo: "Hey, Spinach! Whatta you think this is, a WPA camp?" Activity was resumed at once. Plenty of Concrete. CONCRETE will feature a new baseball park being built at the interior city of Fla. Not all the concrete will be poured. Some of it seems to have been stored in the upstairs or brains departments of the originators of the idea.

The park will have only 1200 jeats, built at a cost of approxi mately $1000 a seat And yet there is no local baseball club and a population of about 8000. The city put up only $30,000 and the Government the remainder. Why not build a fight arena in the Mojave desert or a race track In Timbuctoo and keep the wheels of progress turning?

Hurrah for Rickey.

NE of the most important 0 bits of news to come out of Florida, in my opin ion," writes Ho-Pits-True, "was the statement by Branch Rickey that he'd let Frank Frisch pick his own team this year. "It is my conviction that one of the major flaws in the Cardinal organization in recent years has been the necessity of furnishing passable teams for Rochester, Columbus, Sacramento and Houston. The Yankees, through their recent years of prominence, have had only one minor mouth to feed. Now 1 realize that the large minors in which the Cardinals are represented constitute important investments. But the point is that we want a pennant in St.

Louis, "I don't care what Rickey said last year about Bill McGee, he was sent to Columbus because he was needed there. He could have helped the Cardinals, and Rickey, and nobody else, decided that Bill had to go. "This year, we hope, Rickey will concentrate on winning a pennant in St Louis and if he does and that still fails, we'll feel that he is doing all he can. But let him beware! If he takes one player that we know could help Frisch, well know that was a phony statement he made and that he's still worrying more about the bush league fans than he is about us. We know the dead wood.

And we hope doesn't load any of it on Frisch's shoulders this year." Buck Suzy Writes Again.

"Johnny Mize seems an overgrown boy to us and we are as surprised as he is when a grounder scoots through his legs. We usually have to sit down below first base on ladies' day, and we sort of get acquainted with the first baseman and right fielder.

"We have always wondered if outfielders didn't get sort of lonesome when Hubbell and Dizzy were pitching, and we think the' field men should have an avocation, like gardening, to kind of keep themselves and the grass in trim. "We get a good view of Pepper (Snow White) Martin running to first base. He sort of raises his arms and is as graceful as a bird. Ditto Terry Moore. We feel as crestfallen as he looks when he doesn't make it.
