Rowing Revival at Har- yard Celebrated This
 Afternoon

Cambridge, Mass, May 1.-(UP)- Harvard's rejuvenated oarsmen were heavy favorites to sweep the first annual Rowe Memorial Regatta against Rutgers and Massachusetts Institute of Technology on the Charles river today.
 It will be the Harvard crews first competitive appearance in home waters under its new coach, Tom Bolles of the University of Wash ington, who was appointed last sum- mer to replace Charlie Whiteside.
 The three colleges will vie in the varsity and junior varsity races, with Harvard and M. I. T. battling 1t out in the 150-pound and fresh- man races. All races will be over the Henley distance of 1 5-16 miles.
 A point system will determine the winner of the Rowe Cup. In the varsity race, first place will count 10 points, second place 6 and third place3. The jayvee rating is 8-5-3 and the 150-pound race winner will get six points with second place be- ing worth four.
 Harvard got of to an suspicious start in its first race under Bolles at Princeton last week, outdistanc- ing the Tiger eight in the Compton cup race to give Harvard its first sprint victory in years.

Today's Sport
 Parade
By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Stan Correspondent

Danny Clark, who tralns Pom poon, does not share my doubts about the colt. Clark, never a man to go overheard on a horse without reason, is completely sold on his star boarder. Without blinking an eye he announced yesterday that Pompoon would not only win the Wood, but would do it in the best time in the history of the stake And. furthermore, that the colt would be shipped to Louisville to "romp home with the derby"
 That's optimism. There is many slip between Jamaica and the blanket of American beauty roses that Colonel Matt Vim so gra- ciously provides each derby winner. There have been many Wood win- ners, but only two-Gallant Fox in 1880 and Twenty Grand in 1931- that went on to take it all down at the rambling old Downs.
 Pompoon will be one of 12 to go to the post in the Wood, and I be- lieve his sternest competition will come from Rudie, with J. Stout up, and Sir Damion with Nick Wall in the saddle. Rudie isn't entered in the derby, Sir Damion is. Rudie can run. I have seen him take it all twice this meeting at Jamaica, and he asks no questions, if it's a sprint he sprints. If it's long haul he long hauls. He likes mud just as well as he does lightning. I think he'll win the Wood. And just to be sure of a seat way ous there on the end of the limb-1ll name Sir Damion to take the place with Pompoon doing no better thar grabbing the show.
 You may call me crazy, but yc never will be able to say l ca:'c take it.

Sts. Peter and Paul parochial school baseball combination gave early indication of putting up a strong bid for the title in set- ting back the St. Francis Xavier boys Il to 2 yesterday afternoon in the seasonal opener at Hamilton Park. No less than an even dozen mlsplays were marked up, 9 of them against the losers who were held to four hits by Sugden, while the winners got but six hits from Lynch.

New York, May 1.---(UP)-Two weeks ago, amidst the hysteria and hoopIa which followed Pompoon's brilliant win in the Paumonok han dicap, I asked permission to curb my enthusiasm for Jerry Loucheim's colt until after the Wood Memorial stake.
 As I explained at the time, with my customary lucidity, I wanted to see if the big boy child of Pompey "a strict sprinter who began to get stitches in his side (or the equine equivalent of stitches in the side) once that mile post was passed could pickup 8 lot of weight and go a distance.
 Six furlongs didn't suit me. The Wood is for one mile and 70 yards, which is getting up around the derby distance of mile and quar- ter. They run the Wood today, and so when the sun goes down we'll have a pretty fair line on the handsome Pompoon. If he wins 1t, and is asking for more when he whips past the judges, we'll know that his derby price of 39 to is sinsible, and that he will be the one to bet on when the field walks out to the post next Saturday.
 Of course, we won't know for sure. Because Pompey, Pompoon's old man, won the Wood in record time and reached Louisville hot favorite to win the bluegrass stake in a breeze. But Pompey-who had been able to tear of mile and 70 wards in record time-found that extra pull at Churchill Downs a little too much. And the best he could do down in the country where the mint juleps flow the day long, ruas fourth

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 New York, May 1-(UP)-Dizzy Deans whip-lash rightarm is rap- idly winning back 8 place in the baseball sun for the loquacious St. Louis Cardinals pitcher who ale most talked himself into retirement last winter.
 Dizzy's winter antics, which got him in bad with everyone from boss Sam Breadon down, apparent ly taught him valuable lesson. He is letting his right arm talk for him from now on, and 1t speaks a more eloquent language.
 Behind Deans masterful hurling the Cardinals charged on to their seventh triumph in eight games by defeating the Cincinnati Reds, 7-1. The Cards now top the National league by 1h games.
 It was Dizzy's third straight win, the first major league pitcher to win three games. After 20 scoreless innings Dean finally was solved for one lone run. In three games Dizzy has pitched 28 innings, al- lowed g hits and one run. He's registered p strikeouts, and allowed only four walks,
 Johnny Mize, big Cardinal first baseman, and French Bordagaray, the player not good enough for Brooklyn, did the damage. Mize hit a homer and drove in 2 runs. Bor- dagaray hit a double, driving in two runs. Joe Medwick went hitless for the first time this season.
 King Carl Hubbell turned in his second triumph-No. 18 including last years 16 straight-by pitching the Giants to a 11-2 victory over Brooklyn. Mancuso, Ott, Ripple and Joe Moore hit homers. Heinie Manush's homer with a man on ac- counted for the Dodgers two runs.
 The Chicago Cubs came out of their slump and pounded out IT hits in walloping Pittsburgh, 7-2. Roy Parrelee scattered 10 hits and won his first game in a Chicago uniform. Paul Waner made his 165th triple, surpassing the previ- ous record among present day play CTS held by Pie Traynor. The Pirates made e triple play on Joe Marty's roller with the bases loaded in the seventh.
 Jim Turner, Indianapolis rookie, pitched the Boston Bees to a lO-2 victory over the Phillies. Vince Di- Maggie hit a homer with one on,
 Washington snapped the New York Yankees five game winning streak, Al, behind Buck Newsom's five-hit performance. Newson famed eight men. Joe Kuhel's double drove in two Washington runs, and the other two came in when the Yankee infield got itself tangled up.
 Detroit moved within half a game of the Tanks by winning 10-inning battle from Cleveland, 4-2. Hank Greenberg's single and Gerald Walkers double drove in the two winning runs. Jake Wade, Tiger rookie, allowed 10 hits and walked 10 men, but received credit for the victory. The Indians had 16 men left on base.
 Blasting out 19 hits the Boston Red Sox crushed the Athletics. 15-5. Manager Joe Cronin led the attack with five hits. Jimmy Foxx, who has been laid up with sinus trouble, made his 1897 debut and hit 8 homer with two on. Yves Fer rell won his second game, allowing 10 hits.
 The White Sox-Browns game was rained out.

The first practice for the Colum- bian Squire baseball nine will be held this afternoon. at 2 o'clock at the Fulton Park diamond. All can- didates are urged to be on hand promptly and to report to Sports Chairman Gregory Gilmartin.
 Most of last years successful squad is expected to be on hand to- day for the initial 'tryouts. Ben Daly is going after the mound as- signment again. but will have plenty of opposition from Jack Brickel, who Is a member of the Squire's class now being formed.
 Gilmartin looms as the likeliest prospect for first base with Jimmie Arnold, Johnnie Slavin, and Bob McNellis rounding out the nfield, provided no newcomers upset the veterans.
 Last years outfield of Pete and Jim Luddy, Duke Meehan and Joe Stevens is still on hand with plenty of competition assured.

 His Santa Anita Derby victory was rather easily accomplished. Twenty odd horses started and all but two encountered trouble. But Fairy Hill proved himself to be the finest of his age racing on the winter tracks.
 Fairy Hills pedigree shows sprint ing blood to some extent, but 1t is combined in a way to give him every right to go the Derby distance. which is a mile and a quarter. Weight won't stop him, and he shouldn't be bothered by mud.
