...additions to the roster are Robert H. Waldinger '36 and Louis B. Carr '37, who reported from hockey last week. The former will help carry the burden behind the plate, while Carr, a week hitter, but fast and strong armed, may be very much in the battle for the shortstop...

They have lately won ten games in a row and their crack shortstop, "Arky" (from Arkansas) Vaughan, last week made his 19th homerun and was leading the National League in batting with an average of .400.

The Boston Red Sox, still in the process of rebuilding, are likely to get into the first division. The prospects of the Philadelphia Athletics will depend...
