Earl Whitehill, the doughty little southpaw of the Cleveland Indians, has just been initiated into the se- lect little club of Major League Pitchers Who Have Hurled 200 Vic- tories.
 There are only three other club members still active in the majors today. They are Lefty Bob Grove, the sour old gaffer of the Boston Red Six who rang the bell most of the time for the Philadelphia Athletics; and Waite Hoyt, the one-tlme Boy Wonder of the New York Yankees who is at present toiling for the Pittsburgh Pirates now and then; and ancient Jesse Haines, Of the St. Louis Cardinals.
 Grove has scored 243 victories to lead the parade, while Hoyt has won 23O. The venerable MT. Haines has run up POT triumphs.
 Carl Hubbell, the New York Giants masterful SouthpaW, is right up close to the mark and may soon be eligible to join up. If he wins 30 games this year he'll pas Sthe mark. Ted Lyons of the Chicago White Sox is even closer than King Carl. Ted needs only IA victories this season. It is doubtful that the old fellow can do it this year, be- cause IA is lot of ball games to wir this day and age, but he is sure te pass the mark before he retireS.

men who belong to the Pitchers Who Have, etc., club, you can see that it is most xclusii2 organi- zation and MT. Whitehill should be- indeed, most proud of himself, al- though if you know MT. Whitehill you realize that no one need tell him to feel proud. He's funny that way.
 There was quite a celebration, in- cidentally, when MT. Whitehill won , his 200th game.
 His teammates, the rampaging Cleveland Indians, joined in the fes- tivities and killed a couple of fat ted calves-in the futile form of a couple of Washington pitchers and exploded fireWorks-in the form of base hits and Such--around the premises for couple of hours.
 The score, you see, of MT. White hills 2OOth victory was 17-5. It's a shame they didn't make his cleo ton into the Major League Pitch CTS Who Have, etc., unanimous.
 'I should've won that 200th game long ago." says MT. Whitehill. i've been way off form this year-es- pecially in the two games right be- fore. I was wild-terribly wild"
 Control has been MT. Whitehills greatest asset in his IA years in the major leagues. Unlike most south paws he was never wild galoot- of course, he issued passes, but as sparingly as the producer of hit in Edinborough.

famed as the "man in the green coat" He never has been seen without this coat which, so the legend goes, was tailored from the top of an old billiard table. The coat is night on to 40 years of age, but the only wear it shows is about the pockets. Undoubtedly from the passage of my dollars and your dollars into therein.
 Colonel Watterson Is the Fal- staffian gent used as the subject of an essay from Pittsburgh during the P. G. A. An amazingly fine chef he carries a ckcfing dish with him wherever he gc and breaks down his clients objections to his odds with rare viands. One taste of his truffled dishes and the GUS toner is perfectly willing to accept his odds, which are tighter than a drums vest.
 Colonel Watterson will need h.s finest sauces, and MT. Doyle his smoothest line of glib to keep their customers smiling out here in B1r- mingham, because they hc.ve quoted some of the most ridicul cus prices since one of their predecessors of fered no better than even money against Joshua's stopping the sun.
 With ITO of the worlds finest golfers in the field. here are some Of the prices offered today by the philanthropic commissioners:
 Harry Cooper, Sammy Snead, By ron Nelson, Ralph Guldahl, and Henry Picard, 10 to to win, to to place, to to show and even money to come in fourth.
 In the second bracket 5arazen, Revolta, McSpaden, Runyan, La foon, Ghezzi, Dudley, tines, Thom- son, Shute, Watrous, Little Manero, Horton Smith and Dutra are quoted at IS to l, 6 to l, to l, and 3 to 2 for fourth.
 Consider that first group. Not 9 man in it has ever won a national title, and Cooper is the only one who has ever finished as high aS second in such a championship. Yet the best you can get is 10 to T. If race track bookieS offered the same sort of odds the customers would knock them off their stools and set fire to their equipment.
 The odds on the second group are pust as ridiculous. Sarazen hasn't won a decent tournament since he uncorked his once-in-a-liftime double eagle at Augusta two years ago. Revolta didn't last a round in the recent P. G. A. McSpaden has swing whcih makes him a frightful risk ill medal play. Ghezzi, Dudley, Hines, Thomson, and Hor- ton Smith never have won a na- tional crown. Dutra has practically up tournament golf. Every one of of these men are 30 to or better shots.
 Yet Doyle and Watterson are do- ing rushing business. And among their most eager bettors are the players themSelves-the men who, above all, should know the vagaries of golf and the absurdity of trying to place finger on the winner.

FOUR NEW FACES
 TO BE SEEN IN RIVAL LINEUPS
StrOkalaitis and MuIesky Starters-zajac With
 TOmnlies Tomorrow
BY JOHN R. CLUNEY (SpOrtS EditOr)

No less than four new players have been signed since last Sunday by the league-leading North End Thomas club and the defending champion Sacred Hearts prior to their all-important playof game tomorrow night at Hamilton park. scheduued for 5:30 o'clock and destined to decide the City Amateur League championship should the north enderS win. If the Hearts triumph, there will be a wide-open three team scramble for the title, with the Washington Hills having a fighting chance to cop the pen- nant, especially if they turn back the Tommies in the feature game next Sunday at Hamilton park, fol- lowing their 5-4 win over the Hearts on the past Sabbath day.
 Loading Up
 Realizing the crucial situation that has come up, Manager Ray Tram has signed Joe Spear" Stro- kalaitis, American Brass pitcher, and well-Wnown throughout state baseball circles, to twirl against the Tommies tomorrow evening. He will work with Benny Martel, the able Bristol boy, who can hot hard enough to break up 8 ball game. The Thomas club, after 8 few pro- longed huddles, will coutner with a battery consisting of Beans" Mu- lesky, Sacred Heart pitcher of last season, and Joe Marc of Bristo. I:l addition, the Hearts are expected to have Benny YoSka, the New Mill ford infielder at second base, while the Tommies are set to show Henry Zajac, one of the Meriden athletic tribe, at the hot corner. Mandy Green, who was doing great job on the Hearts in the game which was called due to heavy rain two weeks ago, causing tomorroW'S play off, will not be available for nine inning of mound work, though he may be tried if Mulesky is hit too hard.
 ., Large Crowd
 President Ed Fitzpatrick figures that, given good weather, the game should attract 7,5o0 baseball fans for it is strictly the game of the season to date. Should the Tommies win, it will take nothing less than 8 double-miracle to knock them of the flagpole, for a two game lead, at this time is tantamount to the title, as their four game winners to date and short test against the Hearts show them to be the team to beat for the title, rather than the Hearts, who looked like sure re- peaters at the start of the season.
 Next Sunday, the Washington Hills, full of fire since their win over the Hearts get a scheduled shot at the Thomas club. starting at 3:3o o'clock with the Recreations and Sacred Hearts to meet at 1:30 O. clock and the Brooklyn -Tribunes booked for the same hour. Frankie Edmonds, Naugatuck5s negro pitch ing star and natural athlete, is said to be Tribune pitcher for the remainder of the season. Gus Metz, former Platts Mills coach, succeeds Ned Farley as boss of the Recrea- tions on the field, the latter to pitch occasionally.

Difficult, But Smooth Wind-up

DImcult, BuC SmOOtn Wmu-up
 Most baseball men have always been intrigued by Earls pitching form, and his control always seemed the more amazing to them because of it.
 You see, he is actually a twirler. He pirouets on his left leg, twirling his body completely around to face second base and then whips his had back fast as he unWinds so that he manages to catch a glimpse of the batter before he lets fly with the pitch.
 It is thing of beauty, really. But the Black Earl did not master such wind-up and delivery for the sake of beauty. He had most prac- tical reason. It gives him added power and he needs this power.
 The Earl is not so small now weight about 175-but when he was kid fresh off the sandlots and pitching around in the Sally league he was a skinny bag of bones, weighing only about 125 or 130 pounds after a hot dish of hominy.
 He had a good curve and nice con- trol and pitched headily, but he lacked speed. So his manager sug- gested that he try to get his body behind the pitch so that he would increase his power and at the same time reduce the strain on his arm.
 It was a tough thing to master, but Earl did.
 As you can see by his record of IA years in the major leagues.

WILLIE BULLDOGS
 FACE TORRINCTON

One of the most vital Litchfield county league baseball games of the season will be played Sunday after noon at South school field in Oak vile. The Torrington Tabs, lead CTS of the circuit, will be the guests of the Oakville Bulldogs in a game which will see the leadership of the league at stake.
 Torrington is undefeated in four starts while the locals have dropped but one loop game in the same number of tries. On paper both clubs look evenly matched but the home team is sure to enjoy big advantage because they arc aware of the tricky corners of the South school layout.
 Odd Situation
 Strange as it may seem, however, the Bulldogs always have hard time winning at home. They have always just managed to eke out wins over clubs that should be easily overtaken while on the other hand they have seldom been beaten a foreign surface.
 Lee Vaughn, newest addition to the Vile pitching staff, will get the starting assignment and will prob ably face Ted Shiba, New City strikeout ace. Vaughn should win against the Tabs if the home forces can maintain the pace they have been setting in scoring runs so far this season. The old Standbys, Beauty brothers, Palmer and Krull have started to hit their stride at the plate and with Kielty, Al Krull and McCleary hitting the old ball hard, they should be tough to beat. The home fans are well pleased with the fine young ball team the Bull dogs have put in the sandlot field this summer and have been SUD- porting the club in excellent style. Sundays game marks the first of long home stand of Sunday ball games. To be definite, five success sive games will be played at the South school field.

 New York-Of course, it's all right to give Dad nccktie for Fathers Day. But first make sure he wants or needs a necktie. II he doesn't, how about some con- structive thinking on what he real ly would like? A surprise that will get him all pleasured up so that he'll forget that it's dear old Dad who foots the bills anyway? Concentrate on his practical needs (which he probably never does) and his hobbies or pet sports, and you'll have a flock of ideas in no time. Here are a few suggestions to use as mental springboards:
 Clothes are always practical and usually always needed. Neckties, shirts and sox are conventional. There are lots of little things you can give that don't cost much. How about gloves? Chances are he'll not buy himself any formal gloves, so think about pair or handsome hand-sewn channels ones. Or, per- haps perccary driving gloves with leather palms and mesh backs that are cool in summer.
 Hobby Items
 Jewelry is another inexpensive item. It can be linked to his hob- by. For instance, if he's doggy, you can get whole jewelry kennel, consisting of Scottie cuff links, tie pin and collar bar. The collar bar has tiny Scottie heads at each end. The kennel" they come in is a handsome box that can be used for cigarettes later. If he's not doggy perhaps he's horsey, in which case there are some unusual cuff link; bearing finely carved horseheads, with other items to match.
 Also on the inexpensive but mighty useful list are belts and suspenders. If he's stoutish and se- dentary get him non-elastic braces, or if he prefers a belt, select one of the new narrow ones. They're more comfortable for tummied gents. White or white with col ored trim belts are swell for sum- mer and go with white or gray flannel slacks.
 Key To Gift Puzzle
 If he's always forgetting his keys. you can put a stop to that non- sense by giving him . key chain.

FATHERING BRIGHT GIFT IDEAS


with an initialed panel that clasps over the belt. Another form of this bclt-plate idea has a short chain 10 hold watch in the trouser watch pocket.
 Smoking accessories are always yood gifts for man. Have you cen those handsome new tobacco touches of soft, pliable glove pig kin? They're waterproof lined and oil up very thinly. A more luxur- ous affair is 8 cigarette case hold- ng 20 or 30 smokes, made of os- rich, lizard or cobra skin.
 Another practical idea is a com nation cigarette case and lighter. \ good looking one is made of rho .ium, & metal that looks like soft liver but is actually so hard you lmost need diamond to scratch ! |. The lighter part is built in the op and cleverly countersunk to ,liminate extra bulk. Desk lighters re good for Pops den or his of- ce.
 For Gadget Lover
 If he likes to play with gadgety lings he'll like the lighter that's lade up as cocktail bar, includ- lg 8 tiny chromium "barmaid." Or : he prefers rich simplicity, there's very masculine looking cigarette OK of wood with corners and legs f chromium and saddle-Stitched azel pigskin top.
 Think of all the things you can ct him if he travels regularly! luggage, of course. And pullman lippers. Or a featherweight robe. If he drives, there are some new ,ye-saving polaroid driving glass ss that protect against glare with out blurring details and may be worn over regular glasses if de- sired. There's also a new leather road map case with map pockets and large celluloid windows which show the map and eliminate wear and tear of constant folding.
 For active sportsmen the choice of gifts is limited only by your pocketbook. Tackle and gear for the fisherman; guns, ammunition. shooting clothes for the hunter; clubs. balls, tees and other gadgets fo rthe golfer, and of course, rac- quetS, balls, sweaters, and whatnct for the tennis fan.
 By the way. Fathers Day ls June 4Vb
