A last-minute Inspection has convinced baseball's sixteen major league managers that all Is well. They may not think so by the time July rolls around, but at the moment optimism is the keynote.

There are no last-place clubs in April managerial forecasts. On the theory that what won last year should be good enough to win again, Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics and Gabby Street's St. Louis Cardinals, champions, respectively, of the American and National leagues, will start the season tomorrow with lineups that closely approximate those that appeared in 1930.

A closer fight than usual looms in the American League, where the Athletics may expect trouble from the Washington Senators, Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers. The Senators, who surprised the boys by finishing second a year ago, will start with virtually the same lineup. Cleveland, which has looked very strong this spring, boasts a crak pitching staff and a well-rounded offense and defense.

Joe McCarthy's Yankees are a somewhat doubtful quantity, but the old punch still will be there with Ruth and Gehrig in the lineup. Detroit's chances will depend largely upon how a new and young outfield performs. Of the other three clubs, the Chicago White Sox look strongest, with Luzerne Blue at first base and Mel Simmons in the outfield. Bill Kille-fer's St. Louis Browns will start with a revamped and young lineup that does not look especially formidable.

AMENDMENT PRESSED TO IMPEACHMENT ACT BY SENATOR BINGHAM Washington, April 12 (JP) A constitutional amendment to give the Senate as well as the House the right to institute impeachment proceedings against federal office-holders was proposed today by Senator Bingham for "consideration and criticism" by the people. The Connecticut Republican held the present system under which the House impeaches and the Senate tried an offender has not worked, because a majority of the House usually is elected by the same party electing the President and is "for many reasons loyal to him and unlikely to impeach any of his appointees." The Senate, on the other hand, he said, is "much more willing to criticize members of the administration than is the House" as only one-third of that body is elected at the time a President is chosen and "rarely more than a dozen senators consider themselves under political obligations to the President for their success at the chairman.
