CROSBY NOT TO PROTEST WIN OF
 LEAvENWORTH
Age Limit 10 Be Asked in Freshman Ball League;
 Wilby Wins
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

Crosby's high school baseball coach J. o. P. Manherz, has not protested Leavenworth's 15 to 3 freshman team victory yesterday, and does not intend to, he told the writer this morning, despite reports that Crosby had protested the use of ineligible players. What .Manherz does intend to do, however, is ask for an age limit on freshman play CTS in the newly-formed baseball league.
 The complaint, such as it is, cen ters about William "Yung Razor" Doran, Crosby freshman last year, but now attending Leavenworth as a freshman, and a regular member of the class. ManherZ objects to any boy Is or 17 years of age play ing against boys of IA, but he has made no protest on Doran. A meet ing of coaches of teams in the league with William J. Derwin of the park department is to be called for the purpose of setting up definite rules on players.
 One Sided
 In the meantime, Leavenworth's 15 to 3 win of yesterday stands. "Rube" Ruffino, the Mulcahy school "no-hit" pitcher turned up as a Leavenworth right fielder and belt ed out three doubles, Doran got "2 for 2" while Sturdevant hit safely twice in three chances, one hit a triple. Thompson gave Crosby two hits in five innings. Score:

Cauarretta Out
 Broken Ankle

New York, May 9.-(UP)- Phil Cavarretta, Chicago Cub outfielder. was in a hospital to- day suffering from a broken right ankle that will keep him out of the lineup for a month or longer.
 Cavarretta, playing the out field for the first time this sea- son due to the benching of Joe Marty, stole second base in the second inning, and when he slid into the bag he twisted his ankle under him. He was called safe, but instead of getting up he rolled over in agony. Giant iecOnd- -baseman Burgess White second baseman Burgess Whitehead saw Cavarretta's torn shoe and called for help to assist him from the field.

New York, May 9-(UP)-Men don't have much horse sense about the horse.
 Shown a great horse, and the fig ures to back up his greatness, they immediately begin to try to find a flaw in him. If this flaw is slow in revealing itself, they create an imaginary one and cast about for another horse to beat him.
 Take the case of Johnstown, the big and healthy hammerer who just won the Kentucky Derby, and be- fore that the Wood Memorial, and before that the Woodhaven Stake in record time. He was an absolute standout in Louisville, the only solid horse in the field. Yet he was ig- nored by half the experts in pre- race selections, and one nationally known turf writer went so far as to predict that he wouldn't even finish in the money. This is not a gloat- ing story, prompted by the fact that I happened to name him to win. l am not the one to point the finger of scorn at those who missed, be- cause heaven knows I am without a peer in picking losers. I would have nothing to do with War Ad- miral, I remember, and my Derby selections include such animals as Grand Slam, Military and Bull Lea.
 The newspaper experts were not the only ones who missed on Johns town. Scores of owners and breed CTS of thoroughbreds, men who can bore you with fetlock lore by the hour, and who need only two more legs and a set of larger ears to pass for horses themselves, said he didn't have chance to win a race longer than a mile.
 The fact that Johnstown proved in the Derby that he was great horse, and far superior to any three-year- rival, will not pre- vent thousands of otherwise smart folks from betting against him in the Preakness at Baltimore next Saturday. Big as it is, the Amer ican Legion hasn't one-tenth the members that the knock k-doWn-the-

Holy Cross Crusaders At Yale Today
(BY JOE NOLAN

Worcester, Mass, May - The Holy Cross baseball nine will make its first road trip of the season thls week when it journeys to New Ha- ven today to meet Yale. The Crusaders have not been quite up to par this year, breaking even in four college games to date. They opened the season wi Una 1o-f loss at the hands of Fordham'S famed Hank" Borowy, but recover ed immediately and toppled ProVi- dence from the ranks of the un- beaten. Dartmouth's Indians defeat- ed the Barrymen in 5-4 tussle, and last Saturday they won over Colgate 12-3.
 However it does not follow that the Crusaders record is commen- surate with their actual playing strength, a paradox easily explain able because of the pitchers they have faced. After Hank" Borowy beat them in the opener, Providence used its ace Joe Krasniewsk1 who had not lost college game until Holy Cross nosed him out. Against Dartmouth, they faced altitudinous Hal Wonson, a pitcher unbeaten in the Eastern Intercollegiate league last season, Joe Passabet who start ed on the mound for Colgate, is a sophomore sensation who was vic- torious in his first four games.
 Against Colgate, rated among the better teams of the East, the Cross demonstrated the latent power lurk- ing in its batting order. Third base man Dick Blasser paced the attack with a home run, triple and single. Blasser, a Junior from Dorchester, is batting well over the 300 mark and is considered splnedid major league prospect. Whitey Piurek, a Hartford boy who is playing his third season as a regular at first base, is also a fine sticker and a brilliant fielder. The keystone com- bination of Captain Red Durand at shortstop and Art Duplessis at sec- ond rounds out the infield.
 Holy Cross has an all-football out- field with Ray Monaco in right, Hank Ouellette in center and Bruno Malinowski in left. All three are among the leading hitters on the .eam, and Ouelltete ranks among he finest balhawks in the East.
 Malinowski injured his leg in the Colgate game and theer is still some doubt as to whether he will be in uniform. Henry Giardi has been Ill., ug in for him.
 Coach Jack Barry has nominated foe Delaney and Rave Barry as bat- lerymen to work against the Ellis. Rely yenashcm sh sh cm shr
 Delaney, Ali-American tackle on the ootball team, downed the Provi- lance Friars on three hits in his h1t game this year.
