The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-06-05

New York, June 5-(UP)-Hope of the eternal sort must spring be- meath the manly boSoms of horses as well as men, because today Pom poon once more goes out to run a race against the old Gaffer's boy, War Admiral.
 No one would have blamed Pom poon if he had passed up the Bel mont stakes today for a quiet after noon in his barn. For after all, he has had two whacks at the Admiral and on both occasions ran his heart out for nothing. He wasn't even close to winning at the derby in Louisville, and in the Preakness at Baltimore was clipped by 8 head. At race track, head is as good as a mile when they swing those pay-of numbers up on the board.
 My guess is that Pompoon will take another fancy licking today. He isn't going to like that long, hard pull of a mile and half. He was a weary, weary steed at the finish of the Preaknes, and the Preaknese was over only "a mile and three sixteenths. War Admiral, on the other hand, finished that race as full of run as blackberry pick CTS stockings. It took Charlie Kurt singer a quarter of a mile to pull Man O. Wars boy to stop, and when he came back to gather his

HILLS TO MAKE CRUCIAL BID OF SEASON SUNDAY
Sacred Hearts in Feature Game -BrOoklyns Vs
 TOnlnlies

Tomorrow is the day on which the Washington Hills will see for themselves just how much they amount to this season in the City Amateur League race, and whether or. not they can make 8 serious bid for the pennant, won three times in a row by the Sacred Hearts. The fact that the Hills are scheduled to play the Hearts in the feature game at 3:30 o'clock at Hamilton park is the sign that the Baldwin street en- try managed by Marty Connors will have to shoot the works" in an ef- fort to knock the Hearts out of first place and move toward that goal themselves.
 Strengthened
 Toward that end, it is rumored that the Hills will sprout two new players, both of them Bristol boys, and one being Al Bordeaux, 8 catcher and outflelder who can hit. Last season he played with the Recreations. The other player is from the Bristol Celtics, according to report. Bob Grady will be the starting pitcher, and, as the leagues strikeout king who averaged 10 fans per game, will have a chance to really show what he can do, for the Heart batters as a team are bad news to most pitchers that face them. Young Len Creddo may also figure in the game. Walter Malins will probably be Ray (Fedora, FFamss pithcing selection.
 Brooklyn vs. Tomynies
 Another interesting angle pops up in one of the earlier games, where the North End Thomas club, tied for the lead with the Hearts and undefeated as yet, have to beat the Brooklyn A. C., which is going to make a strong bid for the game, depending almost entirely upon Lefty Bowler, the young southpaw who has been showing considerable promise in the pitching department, and selected by Manager Buddy Bercier to turn back the Tommies. Against the Hearts, last week Bow Ter gave but one solid hit in four innings and may be able to turn in the prize upset of the season if he can beat the Thomas club entry which is powerful and determined
 Tribunes and Recreations also meet at 1:30 o'clock, with the Baldwin street club favored to win a close game.

rosebuds from the governor he wasn't even breathing hard.
 He is stout one, that little seal brown cuss. He answers all the queS- tions they ask him, Four times they've sent him to exams this year and four times he has returned with a perfect answer. He grabbed the Chesapeake stakes, followed it with breeze in an overnight item, and then took the derby and the Freak nes. Betting on him so far has been just like putting money in the bank and lots more fun.
 Cleanup Spot
 The Admiral has every reason to shoot the works today. Victory in the Belmont will mean lot. In the first place there is the little matter of $50OOO, the purse of the winner. If he picks it up his winnings as a three year old will exceed those of his illustrious pappy's as a three year old. In the second, victory will enable him to join the most select lodge in American turf-the lodge composed of horses who have ac- complished the golden triple" by whining the derby, the Preaknes and the Belmont. There are three in the lodge now, Sir Barton, Galalnt Fox and Omaha. And in the third place it will keep the Belmont in the fam- fly, so to speak, for his sire and two brothers already have won it.
 The Belmont field will be small War Admiral's presence frightened off all but the boldest owners. His opposition will be limited to the un- sinkable Pompoon; John Hay Whit ney's Flying Scot; H. Maxwell How ards Sceneshifter; Mrs. H. c. Phipps Melodist; Colonel Bradley's Brooklyn, and Felaise stables VamooSe.
 Only three of the contenders are getting much of a play-the Ad- miral, Pompoon and Brooklyn. War Admiral will be the favorite, of course, and at price that's shorter than 8 Yale boys hair. Brooklyn is the nag, you remember, who re- ceived such brisk support in the derby book, only to be scratched when he showed up at Louisville with spots before his eyes or some thing. He was scratched, incident ally, the same day that a magazine hit the stands with an article by Colonel Bradley in which the old gentleman with the gates ajar col lar urged everyone to guarantee a peaceful old age for themselves by wagering on Brooklyn.
 I paid no attention to the article and bet on Military, who, at the last reports, has just reached tho middle of the backstretch.

By ART KRENZ NEA Service Golf Writer

When he pulled his tee shot into thick woods on par hour hole of a course at Waterloo, Iowa, Joe Kirk woods ball went through the front dor of an old log cabin. s This set the stage for one of the more unusual trick shots for which Kirkwood is famous.
 The green was on the other side of the cabin.
 Kirkwood played out through the door with full swing, driving the ball against a big oak. It caromed back over the cabin and lit on the green, 50 yards away.

Prick Warns Frisch to Keep Dizzy O. et--Bad
 Feeling Rer'ains
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY Limited Press Staff Correspondent

Limited Press Staff COrreSpOndcnt)
 New York, June 5. (UP) - Jerome Herman Dizzy) Dean, Ss. Louis Cardinals stormy pitcher, was back in good standing and sched- uled to pitch today against the PhillieS. f '''
 Although Ford Prick, president ot the National League, lifted Deans three-day suspension that cost him $487.20 in pay h. warned Manager Frankie Frisch:
 Keep that big guy quiet or we'll have to go through this, thing all over again"
 And in 8 statement under his name Prick said: "So far as what has gone before, the case is closed So. far as what may occur in the future, time alone can tell. Ger tainly this office does not propose to have the name of the National League, it's officials or employees dragged through the newspapers n uncomplimentary manner hereaf- ter"
 There was definite evidence of a widening of the breach between Dean and Prick. During the last wrangle it was evident that the Cardinal officials have little con- trol over Dizzy. Sam Breadon, owner of the club, advised him osign the statement prepared by Brick: but he refused. Frisch could do little.
 Old Feld
 The difference between Prick and Dean goes back farther than the now-famous balk Dizzy made in the Giants game at St. Louis and the Belleville, H., remarks by the pitcher. They go back to an item in the May 6 issue of Sporting News, in which appeared the follow ing:
 Among other comments by Prick, according to Scribes, was a reference to Mrs. Dizzy Dean as a dominating personality" These re- marks supposedly were made by Prick in Buffalo, pril 27.
 The Cardinals were travelling from Boston to New York when Mrs. Dizzy Dean read the article. She called Dizzy Dean, and according to Ray Gillespie, of the St. Louis Star Times, said:
 "The first thing want you to do when yoa get to New York is to go to Ford Tricks office and punch him in the nose. If you don't. you're yellow" ii
 Gillespie afterwards spoke to Dizzy about the incident, and he quotes Dig as saying:
 "I'nAa peaceful guy. Nobody hits me and I don't hit nobody"
 After yesterdays three hour, and twenty minutes session, in which Dean almost talked himself back into suspension after the ban was lifted, the loquacious pitcher left feeling that he had scored 8 victory.
 T won my point" he said. T didn't sign nothing"
 Peace was restored by having Prick question Dean about his re- marks and when Dizzy made the necessary verbal denials the news- papermen signed the report as wit nesseS.

YANKEES HARD HIT BY INJURY

Five Players Have Been Out of Action; Bucs

 New York, June 5. (UP)-The in- jury jinx which plaques champion baseball teams camped on the trail of the New York Yankees today.
 It was the same jinx that caught up with the Detroit Tigers last year and as soon the Bengals were de- throned the old man of bandages and liniment moved right in with the Tanks.
 The training season wasn't even completed before Outf1elder Joe Di- maggie was stricken with tonsils and an operation kept him out of the lineup until May. Then, Monte Pearson, Manager Joe McCarthy's 19-game winner last year, hurt his pitching armand still is out. Outfielder Jake Powell next suf- fered an attack of appendicitis ne- cessitating an operation. Aside from three pinch-hitting roles, this 300 hitter has appeared in but one game.
 Thursday, Outf1elder George (Twinkletoes) Selkirk pulled a leg muscle which probably will keep him out of the lineup for the en- durance of the road trip. Latest loss was Sturgeon Chandler, rookie pitcher. He twisted a shoulder mus cle yesterday and went down to de- feat before the Cleveland Indians. The loss cut the Tanks American league lead down to two games over the Indians.
 Hank Hits Elm
 The Detroit Tigers put on seven run Splurge in the seventh to defeat the Washington Senators, 10-3. Hank Greenberg hit his 18th homer. Boston at Chicago was rained out but the St. Louis Browns and Phil adelphia Athletics staged a pair of 10-inning thrillers. The Brownies won the opener when Manager Rog- CTS Hornsby singled, was sacrificed to second, and was singled home by Huffman in the 10th for 8 7-6 de- cision. Jack Knott lost his own game when he walked three men after Rothrock had doubled in the 1VOLl CO lOICC 1lOAlAC ulC WAAIAAS counter in the Athletics 4-3 night cap.
 In the National league the Boston Bees scored their second straight win over the leading Pittsburgh Pirates, 9-1, to trim the Bucs' mar gin to two games over the New York Giants who split twin bill with the Chicago Cubs. Bill Her mans fourth hit, single in the 11th drove in a run that gave the Cubs their eighth straight victory in the opener, 6-5, but Slick Castle man bested Bill Lee in a nlghtcap duel, the Giants winning Az.
 The Cincinnati Reds crushed a ninth inning rally after two runs were in for their second straight triumph over Philadelphia, 9-8.
 The St. Louis Cards scored IS hits to drub the Brooklyn Dodgers. 1%-4.
 YESTERDAYS HERO: Billy Her man who ran the Chicago Cubs winning streak to eight games by singling home the victory run in the 11th, his fourth hit of the day.

 Jimmy McAleer's Browns, with "Wee Willie Sudof in the pitchers box, won a thrilling uphill victory from Pat Donovans Senators 6 to 5 in fourteen innings.
 Washington had scored five runs in the first five innings, to none for St. Louis, but the Browns kept peg ging away, hitting Jacobson in the last four rounds just hard enough to drive in one or two runs each frame, until the score was tied in the ninth at five all, as Washington was unable to solve Sudhoff after the fifth inning.
 Both teams failed to score during the first four extra frames, but St. Louis put over 8 run in the four teenth off Patten, who had relieved Jacobson in the ninth, to give them the game after great uphill climb, made possible through Sudhoff's
