day was trimmed today to nine thor

Zealander, Pillow Fight, was not or

Son of Night Raid. Phar Laps sire,
Pillow Fight was on the verge of STEP

last year in coming from down under

After Pillow Fight finished fifth yes

that the horse be scratched. Danny
Farrell, the jockey who accompanied
Pillow Fight to America and who rode

Farrell said. Il kept tight rein
on him until the head of the stretch
and then let him out. He passed two
horses, having been in last place. but
could do no more. The race was only
mile and one-sixteenth and Pillow
Fight couldn't 60 that far. The handi-
cap Is a mile and one-quarter."

ager, Joe Cronin, and the BOSNIAN,
Clark Grifhth.
But his pupil. Cecil Travis. the hard
hitting rookie from the Chattanooga
club Of the Southern Association, despite
the expert tutoring Of the agile Johnny,
proved to be still a year away from the
big top.
Kerr, on the other hand, showed him
self to be adept at still another role to
make him more valuable than ever to
the Griffmen.
Travis was showed out of the running
by the performance Of Bob Boken, the
player purchased from Kansas City by
the Nationals last February. Boken,
while not hitting the ball on the nose
with as much eclat as the rangy Look
out infielder, was far more polished In
the field than Cecil, 50 won the call
from Cronin.
IN action at shortstop or third base,
Johnny Is buSdle of vim and fire.
He keeps up a constant chatter is

as the next mans player.
In utility role. Johnny hit for .273
last season. He is 80 years Of age and
bats and throws from the right side.
Despite the boss contention that he likes
his infielders tall, and with plenty Of
reach, Griff seems to be well pleased
with the spirit the former Chisox player
displays.
Getting down to Biloxi a week before
the main squad, Kerr took over the
task of helping Cronin to tutor the
young pitchers and catchers. He dug
his left hand into a catcher's mitt,
and told the youngsters where to put
'em, and why.
Just as Joe Kuhel gave Joe Judge
grateful credit for teaching him the
fine points Of playing first base, 50 did
Cecil Travis speak Of Kerr at Camp
Grit.
..TERR has shown me things about

said Travis. at camp. For in
stance, I could never get the proper
balance to get speed behind the ball,
I hesitated too long in securing footing
to get the ball away fast enough. Kerr
showed me how to quickly throw my
weight on my right leg while leaning
back for the power to get the ball down
to first. or home, in a hurry. Nobody
ever showed me that before. And it
is going to mean whole lot to me
next season, no matter where am
playing"
Johnny IS Just as interesting of the
field as he Is on It, He has sense Of
humor, shows 1t on all occasions, and
Is well liked by all Of the Grinmen.

Cubs Pennant Chance Dimmed
AS Cuyler Hurts Leg So Badly
He's Out Till June Is at Least
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
T OS ANGELES. March 30.-Fol
the second time in as many
seasons, the name of Hazer
tkikD Cuyler has been stricken
from the Chicago Cubs starting lineup
because OF injuries.
The veteran outfielder fractured the
smaller bone Of his right leg yesterday
when he stole second base in the fourth
inning of an exhibition game with
Hollywood of the Pacific Coast League
and will be out at least until the middle
Of June.
In May, q year ago, Cuyler suffered
a broken bone in his left foot and did
not get back to take his turn at Wrig-
ley Field until July.
With Cuyler out, the Cubs chances
Of retaining the National League pen
nant were considerably dimmed. Frank
Demaree. purchased from Sacramento
last Summer, finished the game in his
stead and was considered as the most
likely man to fill the gap, although
Manager Charles Grimm thought there
was possibility that either Vince Bar

sidered to have been an unnecessary
chance in the play that resulted in his
injury. The Cubs were leading to
at the time. He held wide lead of
first and raced for second. He was so
far ahead of the throw that he ap-
peared to hesitate, uncertain whether
to slide.
As a result, he hit the dirt close to
the bag and his spikes caught, badly
wrenching his leg. He was carried from
the field. Examination showed the
smaller bone of the leg had broken
away from the larger bone just above

Four misplays were charged against

faulty fielding-if possible.

followed a pass and an error in the
fourth to tie the game at two-all and
another came in the nth with a passed
batter on base. It was a drive by
Daniel. pinching for the pitcher into

made the game a total loss SO far as

NEW ORLEANS MAN
PROTESTS SURRENDER

NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. /.
(UP).-Sol Opotowsky, president
of the Moro Manufacturing Co.,
protested last night against telc-
gram received from General Hugh
S. Johnson, demanding that the
company surrender its NRA in
sigma.
General Johnson's order stated
that the New Orleans compliance
board had reported that the COM
pany was violating the Presidents
agreement with respect to wages
and hours of labor.
Opotowsky denied any viola
tions of the code under which he
was operating. He sent a tele-
gram to General johnson. asking
for a further hearing and asked
for permission to retain the IN
sigma pending the rehearing. He
added that regardless of whether
the insignia was taken from him,
that he would observe the code of
the industry as to minimum wages
and maximum hours when the
plant resumed operations. :,
Opotowsky told the United
Press that he had answered a re,
quest to appear before the local
board on October 20. This hear
inc was unfair, according to Opo-
towsky, because he did not have
the company's records with him
which were necessary for CON-
plete examination of his wage and
hour rates.
