Daggett, 'One-Man' Track Team At
 Colby College

Waterville, Me, May 12.-CUP)- A singing janitor who won two events in three seconds in recent meet will seek additional laurels as Colby's one-man track team in the Maine state intercollegiate championships tomorrow.
 Johnny Daggett, short though well-built sophomore who has amassed 3 6points for Colby in two dual meets, has entered the pole vault, broad jump and 1O0-yard dash. His chances of winning the first two are considered good.
 Two weeks ago against Massachu- sets Institute of Technology, he turned in his amazing performance After clearing 12 feet in the pole vault, ne trotted across the 1nfielo to the start of the 100-yard dash Just after he breasted the tape ahead of the dash contestants, his pole-vault opponent failed in his last try, giving Daggett double victory. He also won the 220-dash and broad jump the same day.
 The following week against Yer mont, he annexed the pole vault and broad jump and finished second in both dasheS for 16 points.
 Daggett, whose mother, father ano four of six brothers and sisters alst attended Colby, was standout per former on the football team last fall, scoring 48 points as a back.
 Regarded as the best baritone or the campus, he sings in the Baptis choir, works as janitor in ar apartment house, is active in fra 1 ternity affairs and gets average scholastic marks.
 If he had the time, he says, ht would try out for the glee club.

New York, N. Y, May 12-(UP) Wilde or Whistler or someone ir that set once epigramed that a gentleman is one who is never rude -unintentionally.
 If that is true then Don Budge will find the England he is now sailing toward on the Queen Mary simply alive with gentlemen. Be- cause from the moment he lands as a tennis professional, as a man in trade, he is going to be treated ln- tentionally rude. He will get the snub direct on his forehand, the cold shoulder deliberate on his backhand, and the arched eyebrow and frigid greeting on all hands.
 Don thinks he is prepared TOT the different manner with which Eng land will greet him. now that ne has abandoned amateurlsm and tax en to playing the game for money He said before sailing a few days ago that he knew he would not be accepted, where, as Davis Cup per. he had not only been &C., cepted but almost dragged ill as celebrity and a charming, gracious sportsman.
 Cold Shoulder?
 But he isn't prepared. Man isn't geared so that he can absorb that sort of thing without hurt. Even a Fred Perry, an Englishman, whe knew full well what his loss of am ateurism would mean, was shocked when he returne to his country al a pro for the first time. And Els worth Vines, chap with as flnt a sense of values as any athlete you ever saw, was hurt by his treatment on the other side. It even hurt big Bill Tilden, and heaven knows Big Bill was fortified by a shell O. conceit that required 14-inch snob' bery to pierce.
 But that is what they fire at thu tennis professionals on the ohtel side-14-inch hauteur and disdain They are not welcome at any anna teur club, no matter if that clul be the one that saw them lion ized as amateurs. Backslappers O earlier days turn away, and mel who once wanted to carry ther racquets forget their names.
 Budge's English reception is goinl to be particularly galling, becaus it was such short time ago tha he was not only the lion, but tn entire menagerie of Wimbledon crowd as he did the laughing freckle-faced, red-haired Cali fornian. The center court was al ways packed when he played, ant the crowd thrilled to his winning shots and groaned with his losinl ones.
 Snubbed?
 But that's all over now. The cente court will be banned to him fo practice, so will all the scores o courts that sprawl about that castl of tennis. He is through being pre- sented to royalty and hob-nobbinl with the peers of the realm. Tn i fact that he is still the perfec sportsman that he was an amateur means nothing. Neither does tn fact that he is even a greater shot maker today than he was as al amateur champion. He is a pr now, working for living, and tn fact that he turned to professional ism to better his family's way o living-that doesn't mean anything | either.
 There's laugh in Budge's trip

| though. He is accompanied by Vines, and what kind of reception do you think Ellsworth will get? A rousing, hearty one, pals, be- cause Vines is travelling not as Vines the tennis professional, but as Vines, gentleman golfer and arl entrant ill the holiest of all British amateur events, the golf champion ship.
 Vines, who has been playing ten his for money for years, will get a MT" before his name on the scoreboard and will be given free run of the club. If he had evei played golf for money, however, he would enter the grounds through the tradesman's entrance and generally given the delightful old British showing around.
 Ripping sort of a set-up, eh?

NEW YORKERS WON 8 OF 1 Q
 ROAD GAMES
Averaged Over 9 Runs Per Game Without DiMaggiO
 or Gehrig
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY

United Press Staff Correspondentl
 New York, May 12 = (U.P0 The New York Yankees own production of death in the afternoon" return ed today from successful 10-day road tour through the west.
 They left trail of desolation Read 'em and / weep, American League pennant contenders:
 Eight victories in 10 games.
 91 runs, or over nine runs per game.
 124 hits, or over 12 hits per game.
 69 bases on balls, or nearly seven per game.
 29 pitchers faced them, or nearly three per game.
 That's why the Tanks rolled home from St. Louis today with a game and half lead in the American League.
 And, mind you, the Tanks were minus Joe DiMaggio, left in New York with pulled leg muscle, and Lou Gehrig, who broke his consec- utive game record at 2,130 on the first game of the trip.
 Slugging Bee
 The St. Louis Browns tried to slug with the Tanks yesterday, and took 10-8 shellacking. Each team made IS hits, but the Tanks made theirs count Charlie Keller hit a triple with the bases loaded. Two southpaws, Ewald Pyle and Russ Van Alta, were rudely treated by the Tanks.
 Ted Lyons, 38, who never pitched for any other team but the White Sox, outhurled Woody Rich, 22- year-old rookie, as Chicago nosed out Boston, 3-2. The defeat cost the Red Sox the lead. Lyons, who is ,n his 17th season, allowed only five hits to win his second game. It was Rich's first loss.
 Al Milnar, Cleveland southpaW, pitched TO victory over the Ath- letics, allowing only five hits. Roy Weatherly had "5 for B." It was Milnar's second straight and the Indians fourth in a row. Scoring three in the ninth, Wash- ington rallied to trim Detroit, AZ. Rookie Joe Haynes held the Tigers to seven hits. Buddy Myer led the Senators with three singles. The Cardinals gained the Nation al League lead without playing. Brooklyn knocked Cincinnati out of first place, defeating them 4-3. Doif Camilli's fifth homer with mate on base was the winning punch off Bucky Walters. Van Mungo won his second game although relieved m the eighth. The triumph enabled the Dodgers to tie the Reds for sec ond place.
 Giants Win One
 The Giants scrambled out of the cellar, breaking their three-game losing streak with Al triumph over the Pirates. Cliff Melton yield. ed only four hits as the game was played in one hour and 48 minutes "a seasons record for the Polo Grounds. Bill Terry shook up his lineup again. sending Mel Ott back to right field and returning George Myatt to third.
 The Cubs rapped Jim Turner for IA hits and beat the Bees, 6-2. Vance Page gave up 13 blows but kept them scattered Billy Herman, play ing considerably better ball since Gabby Hartnett benched him for one game, poled a triple and two singles, driving in three runs.

 stud entry.
 Only possibility of rain can soften Johnstowns firm position as favor ite, and thousands of customers at the mile and 3-16 race tomorrow will lay their bankrolls that the son of Jamestown will run away with the second leg of Americas triple crown and most of the $75,000 added money.
 StandOut
 The Belair Bay, winner of the derby by eight lengths and unde- feated this year, is the solid choice by himself. With Gilded Knight, the heavy selection to run second, coupled with him, the odds on the entry are expected to drop to a ridiculously low figure - consider ably shorter than War AdmiraPs mark of 35-100 in 1887. Challenge, third member of the combination, will go only in slushy footing.
 King Ranch's Ciencia, who defied the adage that fillies can't win in the spring by taking the $50,00O Santa Anita Derby, has received considerable backing. Ciencia will hold two distinct advantages - her five-pound sex allowance and a pronounced tendency to start step- ping late in the stretch.
 Challedon, who chased Johnstown home in the derby, still is strongly backed despite the way he was beaten. A. G. Vanderbilt's impound like Ciencia, gambles his chance to step out in the closing yards. Voli- tant, the Saratoga stable hope, has not performed up to his two-year-olo promise this season.

 Long before the trainers and owners filed into the Pimlico racing offic to drop their slips in the box, observers reduced the field to seven starters. noe of them will be kept in the barn unless the track is muddy, clearing the way for the smallest number of contenders in 20 years.
