TROJAN TRACK
 TEAM AT TOPS
Southern California Ath- letes Favored For I=C IA
 Meet Tomorrow

New York, June 2-(UP)-The Trojans of the University of South ern California, unbeaten this sea- son were heavy favorites today to capture the 62nd annual intercolle- giate A. A. A. A. track and field championships which open tomor- row at Randall's Island Stadium.
 Most track experts forecast that the far westerners, with a well-bal- anced squad of IT athletes, would win with total of at least 40 points and displace Pittsburgh, last years champions.
 Southern California, N. c. A. A. champions for the past three years, hasn't competed in the I. c. A since 1885. Before that, Dean CromWelPs men had taken seven ti- ties nthe ten year span.
 A total of 31 colleges will com- pete, including Columbia, indoor I. c. A. champions; California; U. c. L. A., with it's one man squad, Tom Berkeley; Pittsburgh, Prince ton, the Ivy league champions; Mi- chigan State and Cornell.

Boston Sports Salad
BY ROBERT WEBB

Limited Press Staff COrreSpOndent)
 Boston, June 2.-(UP).-Letting the sports chips fall where they may:
 The Red Sox are much more susceptible to trading than before that sour western trip. The team still needs a few left-handed hit ters. Right-handed power is okay at FenWay park where the left field fence is only mashie shot away. But on the road, particular ly at Cleveland, few boys who could hit down the right-field line would help.
 The Sox have their eye on a pitcher and an outfielder who hits from the first-base side of the plate. Ben Chapman, hitless during is last 20 times at bat, and Johnny Mar cum, who apparently won't ever live up to his Philadelphia reputation, will be offered as trading material. Eric McNair might be used in a swap if there was demand for his services.
 Youngsters O. K.
 Don't be surprised If Cronin starts Lee Rogers and Emery Dickman during the Sox present home stay. The Boston manager was cheered by the performance of Charlie Wag- ner who went the distance yester- day for the Sox' fifth victory in 13 game. If the veteran pitchers cant deliver, Cronin must give his young sters a chance.
 Wagner had pitched in five games before yesterday. But on four oc- casions he worked only one inning
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-06-02

In his fifth trip to the slab he pitch ed 21-3 innings against the Ath- letics. Cronin had relief pitchers warming up several times during the game. A 21-year-old youngster, Wagner won 20 and lost IA for Min neapolic last season.
 Don Heffner is playing good ball at second base for the St. Louis Browns. The former Yankee won't hit very lustily but he's there as a fielder. Players from first division teams generally look good when traded to second-division teams. And second division team players rarely help the big teams How many Philadelphia ball players have been stars elsewhere?
 New Players
 There will be a few new faces at the All~Star game. A year ago, the National League team started a shortstop, Arky Vaughn, on third base. Either Stanley Hack, who is hitting better than ever, or Lee Handley, the slick-fielding Pitts burgh lad. should make the "alP' team at the hot corner. And Frank Mccormick of Cincinnati is tops among the N. L. first sackers.
 The Giants aren't winning be- cause everyone is having a slump at the same time The writing is on the wall for Wally Berger, the old blond basher. When Hank Leiber was hurt, columnist Terry put Lou Chiozza in center field. :. From the Giants bench, Berger may go to Cincinnati. He played his best baseball for sweet William McKechnie, who, by the way, is do- ing a pretty fancy job of managing the Reds.
 When Cincinnati was last in Bos- ton, a reporter asked McKechnie where the Reds would finish. . T never make predictions of that sort" said the Scott. . q wouldn't promise a first division berth for the Reds because they haven't been

KENNEDY DEAL GIVES COCHRANE LAUGH ON DYKES
Former As, Rival Manag- CTS, All Even on Trades;
 Greenberg Hits 18th
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY


 United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, June 2 - (U.P) The friendly feud" between those pals of Connie Mack's great teams of 1929-30-31, Mickey Cochrane and Jimmy Dykes, was a horse of an- other color today.
 Now rival managers of the Tigers and White Sox, Cochrane and Dykes, are two of the keenest rivals in baseballAin a ball game, trade or any battle of wits. Dykes drew first blood with his r"City Slicke sale" of Al Simmons to Cochrane for $75,000 two years ago. Dykes has laughed at Cochrane ever since.
 But Dykes laugh now is a little hollow. Cochrane finally has the upper hand. He has Vernon Ken nedy, the eccentric pitcher whom Dykes trade to Detroit last winter with the belief that he was putting over 8 fast one. Cochrane gave Ger aid Walker, Marvin Owen and rookie Mike Fresh for Kennedy and Dixie Walker. A storm of disapprov- al broke over his head because Ger aid Walker had been Detroit hero.
 When Kennedy was with the White Sox he was bitterly criticized for living in trailer. Some critics said his wildness was the result of improper sleeping. Cochrane was asked yesterday after Kennedy had hung up his eight straight victory, whether his star still ives in a trailer.
 T don't know" replied Cochrane. "But if you can find me another guy who can pitch like Kennedy I'll buy him trailer to live in"
 It turns out that it wasn't Ken nedy's trailer that made him wild. In his White Sox days he pitched overland and underhand. When he joined the Tigers this spring Coch- rane suggested that he concentrate on pitching his natural way, over hand.
 Kennedy pitched the Tigers to an 8-4 victory over the Yanks yester- day, blanking them until the last two innings at which point he had an so lead. Thus he ranks today with Lefty Grove as the top pitcher in the American. Grove was knocked out of the box by the Yankees while attempting to win his ninth straight.
 The victory enabled the Tigers, still in fifth place, to move within fivo games of the league-leading Cleveland Indians who lost to the Athletics, 9-5. Johnson, Hayes, and Chapman hit homers for the As to drive Mel Harder from the box.
 In the other two American League games Washington beat the White sox. 5-4, on Buddy Lewis ninth in- ming single, and the Boston Red Sox triumphed over the St. Louis Browns, 6-3, on Manager Joe Cro- nin's homer with two mates on.
 The New York Giants dropped their third straight and had their National League lead cut to two games as they were beaten by Pitts burgh Al. Russ Bauers pitched a five-hit game to triumph over Cliff Melton. The second place Chicago Cubs were idle because of rain.
 Cincinnati turned back Brooklyn Al, behind Johnny Wander Meer's five-hit pitching and the St. Louis Cardinals hammered out 9-4 vic- tory over the Phillies. Ival Goodman hit homer No. II for the Reds. Joe Medwick, Cards, came out of his batting slump by getting A for 4" including homer.
