Hungarian Star Sees
Yankee Dominancy
In Table Tennis
GIoncz Is Impressed
By PIoy of Schiff
And Bells Here
BY BILL DISMER, Jr,

The tremendous popularity which
table tennis is enjoying in this
country and which strikingly was
demonstrated last night when some
75O patrons turned out for an exhi.
bition at Heurich gym will result in
America soon assuming international
command of the game which has
been dominated by European coun-
tries for the last Is years.
At least that's the opinion Of
Sander Glance. 30-year-old vet
eran" of the game who is forsaking
his native Hungary for an American
citizenship And the fact that two
of his ellow-countrymen beat two
of the United States best in three
out of five matches last night
doesn't alter Glance belief in the
slightest.
AS matter of fact, America was
within one game of winning the
team match which wasn't decided
until the final game of the final
match. Sol Schiff. this country's
No. player, avenged a beating by
Thor HaZi in the recent nationals
by 21-16, 21-18 score, but it was
the only singles match the United
States team could win. Schiff again
lost to Lazlo Bellak, certainly the
greatest paddler this city ever has
seen, by scores of 2l-19, 21-17. and
IzZy Bells, Americas No. 5 player,
lost to Bellak, 21-13, 21-18, and
to HaZi, 1921. 21-19. 21-18.
But Schiff and Bells played great
table tennis together to whip Bel
lax. one of the co-holders of the
world doubles title, and Hazi, 21-l3.
17-21, 21-18.
Once again, spectators were made
to realize that table tennis is not
so far removed from its outdoor
cousin as the players raced around
in wide areas to return balls with
sweeping forehand and backhand
drives.
Glancz' statement that America
soon will be unbeatble at the game
is based on the fact that table ten
mis- now is being played everywhere
in this country and by persons of
all ages. He pointed to the record
which reveals America won the
world team championship in it's
third year of international compe-
tition in 1887 and the fact that
Schif and Bells already are able
to give such vets as Bellak and Hazi
real battle.
He unhesitatingly called Bellak
the greatest player the game ever
has known. Incidentally. local au-
thorities who had seen Schiff play
before said the red-headed young
ster never performed better than
he did last night.

None of these has the chance to

denied.
The only other championship won
last night was the 105-pound title

Toll in BAT Drill
Reveals Worth
As Pitcher
Bob Ready for Major
Sturt After Shutout
OfWhite Sox
BY TOM SILER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

CHICAGO, April Robert Eu-
gene Lillard, third baseman turned
pitcher by accident, is responsible
for the latest upward surge of the
Chicago Cubs National League pen
nant stock.
Lillard, a 26-year-old highlander,
has been pitching we'll in short gaps
in grapefruit competition. But yes
terday he served notice on Manager
Gabby Hartnett that he was ready to
"go" in the big time.
A moundsman only the past two
years, Lillard yielded the Chicago
White Sox four singles at Yuma,
Ariz., yesterday, blanked them, 20,
issued no passes and allowed none to
reach first after the fifth inning. He
was the first Cub hurler to go full
game.
Starts as Bat Drill Hurler.
Lillard was understanding Third
Baseman Stanley Hack with the
Cubs during the 1886 season when he
got his first chance to pitch.
I'm 1885, Lillard says, Hack was
having a good year and I didn't get
to play much. was crazy from just
sitting around. Roy johnson had
been pitching for batting practice
every day and his arm was dead.
Charley Grimm (then the man.
ageD wanted somebody else to pitch
to the hitters. I figured it would
give me some exercise at least, so I
went out there, although I knew
nothing about pitching.
Il just stood on the mound and
started throwing as hard as I could.
The hitters moaned a little about
it-and there I was, starting out to
be pitcher" .
Sparkles in Coast Loop.
Grimm saw possibilities in Lillard
as a pitcher and sent him to San
Francisco in the Pacific Coast
League in 1887. He won IA and lost
10 games. Last year, pitching for
Los Angeles in the same loop, he
won 16 and lost 10.
Hartnett has been "high" on the
rookie ever since spring training
began. Lillard figures to rate a
starting berth If he maintains the
form he has shown thus far.
After watching Lillard again this
spring, Grimm. now a radio broad
caster, said the rookie needs Ito
learn to let up a little more in the
easy spots and save his best stuff
when he'll need it."
Then he'll be helluva pitcher"
Grimm concluded.

Then, Of course. Bucky has that
pitching headache. Ortiz needs
much work to acquire polish and
experience, Krakauskas and Ken
Chase must be worked regularly and
every few days due to their control.
So must De Shong. In his only
game so far, Harry Kelley. normally
control pitcher, was wild and con-
stantly in trouble. Anderson and
Bucky Jacobs are on the border
line but the only way they can
prove anything. one way or another,
is to get chances to pitch.
The powers of the rainmaker

you'd be surprised at the number
of people who believe in herr, but
she can't hope to continue. For
another week, or as long as the
Mats are campaigning in Florida,
they are fairly certain to resume
steady play. But it is the two days
of rain this week and the possibili-

are worrying Harris.
Rained out in Lakeland as they
took the field against the Tigers,
the Mats jumped back into their
bus and headed here. where they
were to play the Boston Bees in the
first of eight exhibitions this spring.
Tomorrow they will meet the Reds
at Tampa and on Monday they
journey to Clearwater to tackle the
Brooklyn Dodgers.
In fact, it's all steady campaign
ing from next Wednesday on, at
least on paper The scene then will
shift to Daytona Beach, where the
Griffs will play Baltimore. Then
Brooklyn will come into Orlando
for one game and the Bees will
invade for three in a row, closing
the camp. The trip North, with
the Bees as sparring partners, will
follow.

Win From Strickland
Adds Little 10 Rinq
Status Of Pastor
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. April bob Pastor,
rated No. heavyweight challenger
by the National Boxing Association,
has added Maurice Strickland of
New Zealand to his victims, but little
to his pugilistic record.
Pastor, weighing 1881, outpointed
Strickland, 1907, in 10 rounds last
night in the semi-privacy of 3845
customers in Chicago Stadium. The
verdict was unanimous.
Highlight of the show, having little
to do with fighting. came when
Pastors trunks began slipping off
in the sixth round. Referee Phil
Collins was kept busy pulling them
up as he broke the clinching battlers.
At the end of the round Pastor
changed to another pair of trunks
without leaving the ring, much to his
embarrassment and his audiences
merriment.
The fight itself was rather on the
dull side, Pastor taking seven Of the
10 rounds, mainly with effective
counter punching and clever ma
