INDEPENDENT VOTERS

Mastering its full force for the
final days Of the city primary elect
ion campaign, the Independent Vot-
ers league, its hackers believe was
still among the foremost on Omaha's
political stage with three days ago
before primaries.
On Tuesday the voters will be call
ed on to 60 to the polls and to dig
through a record ballot Of 81 names.
The huge list Of prisons seeking Of
flee undoubtedly will confuse the vot-
ers but the number of persons seeking
public office is also seen as a point
in favor of such tickets as that en-
dorsed by the Independent Voters
League.
An extensive newspaper, radio and
personal campaign has placed the
names of these men before the public
as uncompromising foes of gang and
machine politicians and as for a sub
stantial reduction in taxes.
Roy N. FOWL is conceded by most
of the political guessers a first or
second position in the primaries. His
popularity gained through a three
year battle on behalf of honesty in
the city hall will probably swing
thousands Of votes to those a~ssociat-
ed with him. The plea is being made
by workers that only by electing mer
in sympathy with FOWL a the vot-
ers be assured the kind of good gov
eminent he represents.

The Big Attraction

So with bird on limb and sun
| in sky, we find the chief busi'
ness of the day is the Hartford
! Handicap, which finds II
thoroughbreds who have passed
their third birthday vieing over
the comparatively short stretch
of six furlongs.
In the group one finds only
two which are fresh from win
ter campaigns, the others having
idled away the off months in
sheltered quarters. So it may
be almost expected that this
trio, still carrying the edge Of
winter competition, may be
ready to take up Northern
racing right where it left off
two weeks ago in the Southland.
Finite, the George D. Widener
entry, and Con Amore, the latter
a filly belonging to William Mar
tin, made their marks in the
,winter turf competition, and are
getting a lot of attention from
the speculative public here to-
day.
Tired Avon, the S. w. Labrot
champion. and w. w. Vaughn's
Canron, which wintered at Ben
ming, are the other fillies in to-
days feature, and good horse
flesh they are, if you ask us.
The fact that the purse has
been cut to one-quarter of its
The Washington times., 1933-04-15
Interest Is Normal

Secondary only to the Hartford
Handicap is the third race on
today's inaugural program, for
3-year-olds, also at six furlongs.
This event will supply an early
test for Derby and Preakness
candidates and will be watched
with meticulous interest by turf
followers everywhere.
Glorify, Silent Shot, War
Glory, Acataw, Projectile, and
the much-talked-of and written
about Ladysman, all Derby and
Preakness entries, go to the post,
the event being called the Bay
view. Later on at this track the
Chesapeake will provide what is
generally termed the final test
for eastern aspirants in the
Derby and Preakness.
Washington was well repre-
sented in the throng which came
here today, trains and motor
thoroughfares bringing hun
dreds from the National Capital
enthusiastic over the new racing
year. The new State tax of l
per cent on all pari-mutuel bets
goes into effect today, and $780,
900 is expected to accrue to
Maryland from this source be-
fore the fall meeting ends.

DODGER ROOKIE.
MAKES GREAT
DEBUT

The Brooklyn Dodgers def
nitely became a serious con-
tender for the National League
Pennant today as a result of
the brilliant debut yesterday of
Walter Beck, six-foot Rookie
pitcher who won 81 games for
Memphis in the Southern AS
sociation last year.
Manager Carey showed his
confidence in the big fellow by
starting him in Brooklyn's
second game Of the season in a
tough spot-against the slugging
Phillies in their bandbox park.
Beck came through like a major,
holding the Quaker sluggers to
seven hits and winning, 7 to 1,
with the aid of Johnny Fred
erick, who had perfect day at
bat with four hits, including a
homer.
''Elmer The Great" as his
mates have dubbed the rookie,
has the aplomb of a veteran and
the self confidence of Dizzy Dean
or a Yves Ferrell.
Kid Looks Good
Since failing to make the grade
with the Browns two years ago.
he has developed marvellous con-
troll and peculiar half side arm,
half underhand delivery that will
give National League sluggers a
flock of headaches.
For the first time in several
years Hack Wilson, former home
run king of the National League,
is starting the season as a bench
warmer. And the pudgy outfielder
of the Dodgers is likely to go on
collecting splinters for some time,
judging from the way his under
study, Johnny Frederick, is hit
ting the ball. In seven times at
bat against the Phillies, Johnny
has delivered five hits and scored
four runs.
The Yankees are still the same
old home-run outfit. Lou Geh-
rig hit his second circuit clout
in two days and Pitcher Charley
Ruffing, in addition to holding
the Red Sox to five hits, won his
own game, 6 to 2, by smacking
a homer with the bases filled in
the ninth.
Giants Back Home
The New York Giants had set
a new baseball record today by
postponing a Friday game and
Saturday game on the same day.
Snow kept them idle again in
Boston yesterday and there was
no prospect of playing today's
game there, so they called off
both contests yesterday and came
here to work on their own dia-
mond in preparation for tomor-
rows clash with Brooklyn.

DAME FORTUNE
EYES BOXER
ANTONELL|

Dame Fortune at last appears to
be glancing down little Nick An
tonelli's alley.
The Brownsville IN. W Fire
Engine, as he was called around
Gotham, stokes up the old fur
mace for a trip against Billy Es-
singer Tuesday night at Portner's
arena.
Local fight fans all know Nick s
plight. They know he is one of
the most pleasing little fellows the
town has in its fistic ranks, yet he
never seemed to get that "break"
which comes at least once in every
fighters career. Always Nick was
tossed in there with stern ma
terial and always he ran that
close second.
Given Choice Spot
Matchmaker Frank Mann was
so pleased with Nick's perform
ance two weeks ago when he put
the skids under Jackie Lamar in
one bell, that he gave the Fire
Engine the next to the choicest
spot on the preliminary card
Tuesday-the semi-windup.
Norfolk, Roanoke and Hagers-
town fans could tell better stories
of Nick's fighting ability than
any customer who piled through
the gates at Portner's Arena.
Nick could go into any of those
towns and pull out the most
severe ring critic.
Groves Substituted
Essinger. Nick's foe Teusday, is
by no means a set-up. Yet, if
Billy should happen to get the
decision, it's a 10-to-1 shot the
Italian will look good even in
defeat.
Harry Groves, Baltimore feather
weight, was substituted in place
of Angelo Brocata on Tuesdays
card. Groves boxes Jackie Simp-
son in one of the six-round af-
fairs.

Yesterday, Mr.. Grove was

His presence made the hereto
fore clickless AS a decided tough
eustomer-so tough in fact that
the Griffs fell before the spell,

their respective breaths.

Experience another one of his
successful seasons? Folks, he

Same Thought
Groves performance yesterday
brings a certain idea to mind
that's been famous characteris-
tic with the New York Yankees
all these years. It's been said, in
this connection, many times that
ps Babe Ruth performs, so will
the Yankees.
The same can be utilized now
with Grove and the Philadelphia
AS. At least it can be figured
this way until Robert Moses and
his teammates blow up" one of
these days, ending the thought.
Lefty Walter Stewart opposed
Grove as Manager Cronin's start
Ing pitcher. He Travelled along
all right during the eight innings
he occupied the mound and would
have been retTrned winner nine
times out of ten had the Griffs
been able to crash through with
some timely hitting when base
hits meant runs.
AS it was Stewart had to make
his official 1888 regular season
debut as a Griff with loss
charged against his record. But,
as he said after the game, there9l
be plenty of more opportunities
to make amends for this loss
later and he means to hurl even
better the next time he's given
the chance to face them.
Six Hits Off Grove
The Griffs collected six hits
off Grove all told. In only one
inning were they able to bunch
them for a run and this was in
the ninth when Goose Goslin

field line and Fred Schultz fol

day when accidentally knocked
