McCarthy optimistic on Yankees comeback with rookies
Joe McCarthy, veteran Yankee manager, hails prospects Phil Rizzuto and Gerald Priddy as standout rookies. He notes Gordon Gordon and Frankie Crosetti can cover short, Gordon at first, Red Rolfe at third, with Dimaggio expected back and new pitchers offering a potential improved pitching staff. He insists the club finished third last year with weak hitting and poor pitching but could rise if the youngsters develop.

Morgantown March 11 The eastern intercollegiate boxing conference canceled the annual conference tournament due to lack of a representative entry list.
