Today's Sport Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent

New York, April 21 - (U.P) - II I were a carpenter, and out of work, would go to the Yankee Stadium and apply for the job of building the extra bleachers for the 1889 world series.
 Because the Yankees are in. The National League may have heluva time determining the victim to be sacrificed in late September, but theer is no doubt in the American League. The fight is strictly con- fined to second place. It may be the Red Sox, it may be Detroit, or it may be the irrepressible Clevelands, but first place belongs to the Yank- eeS.
 Easy For Red
 They proved that yesterday in their opener. Faced by the Red Sox, the only club that is given a chance to beat them, the Tanks won 2 to 0. It was a quiet, easy victory. With Rufus (RedD Ruffing doing the pitching (and try and name me someone who can do it better than the three-toed man from Illinois, the Tanks just breezed. Funny thing about the Yankees-they win as they have to. If their pitching is bad, they take a firmer grip on their bats and slug their way through. If their pitching is good they sort of relax, and get just enough base knocks to win. Look up their scores of last year. They'll av- craze something like 10 to 8 or to 2. The Tanks are obliging. They'll either hit with you or pitch with you. They don't care, just so they win.
 To say that any club will bother them is ridiculous. To bet that any team will is to play the narrow per- centage that Bubonic Plague will hit the champions, or that three or four of their men will be removed from combat by accident. Man for man no team in the majors belongs on the same field with the Tanks.
 Take the life line of the team - that axis that starts with the catcher and ends with the center fielder. All the Tanks have in that shot through the middle is Bill Dickey, Red Ruffing, Joe Gordon and Joe DiMaggio. In short, the best catcher, the best pitcher, the best second baSeman, and the best outf1el ger. I'll even go farther than that in describing Dimaggio. He is the best man in baseball today.
 StandOut
 He made two catches yesterday that no other outfielder in the league could have made. And-this is im- portant-he made them look easy The first one was shoeString catch, and Joe took it on the dead run, without a stumble or play to the crowd. The other was long fly, on an arc over his head. He brought it down with the ease of union leaguer looking at his watch. Dickey was off to a bad start. All he could do was to get all there was out of Ruffing, and blast home run and a double. The best that Ruffing could do, with chill wind whipping about, was to shut out the Sox.

baseball game of the season for the local nine, played yesterday at Rec- reation field. Three-hit pitching oy Naugatuck twirlers blanked the wis., itors, 13-0.
 Naugatuck meets Torrington High here tomorrow afternoon and is ex- pected to have tougher going. Frank "Speck" Shea showed yesterday he still has the form which made him one of the outstanding pitchers in the state, when he twirled three in- nings without allowing a hit, strik- ing out five batters. Muroff, a new addition to the local nine, allowed only one hit in the following three ninnings, and famed five also. Ty- burski pitched the final three in- nings and allowed two hits, fam ming four.
 The Foleymen tallied four runs n the first, added four more in the fifth, one in the sixth and four in the eighth. Czaplicki got two doubles and SEhea, RaWley and Farrar each had one double. Rowlington went the route for WatertoWn.

ty bad. True, he took the same old cut at the ball at bat, but in the field he was slower than almost any man you ever saw. The long grind has got him. Hell stay on first, how ever, as long as the Tanks can win with him. The minute they start losing with him he'll be replaced by Heinrich. My guess is that he will be on first all year, because the Tanks are good enough to carry him along. After all, they carried him most of last year. It wasn't until late in the season, when the flag was won, that Lou hit enough to bring his average up around the 300 class.
 Anyway, the Tanks are in, and if you bet on them in the future book go right ahead and spend your pro- fit. They are in the same class with death and taxes when it comes to sure things.

Ellis And Jordan Ln Return Boxing Bou
Baseball To Films
 Is "Pesapallo"

Paris, April 20-UP)-You call it baseball, but the Films call it "pesapallo," and they will play it, at least their ver- sion of 1t, at the 1940 Olym- pics. The Finnish Olympic committee has notified the In- ternational Olympic commit tee that a demonstration of "Pesapallo" will be given for athletes and visitors attending the games.
 In pesapallO there is no catcher-there is no need for one. A "tosser up" stands few feet in front of home plate and lObs the ball over so slowly that the batsmen hardly ever miss and when they Go they have to chase the ball and return it to the "tosser up."
 Some of the heavy-hitting Films boast batting averages of 300. To compensate for the absence of catcher, they have installed second shOrtstOp between the second and first basemen.

Dick TurcOtte Opposes Stamford Negro; KOvach
 Meets McAlpine
BY HUGO HOOKJAB

It's swing-time in Waterbury, and tonight, some 18 boxers, all but four of them amateurs, will swing in the spring" so to speak, when they are paired up on the indoor program of the Waterbury A.C. at Buckingham hall, where seven amateur bouts and two professional battles will be pre- sented to the general public, or that portion of it which relishes good exhibitions of the so-called manly art of self defense"
 Program
 From 8::30 o'clock to about II p. m. the following boys will fight. according to schedule:
 Dick Turcotte Vs. Davey Haynes; Babby Ellis vs. George Jordan; Tommy Ciarlo vs. Billy Towne; Du- la Kovach vs. Art McAlpine; Nick Sato vs. Kid Woose; Sammy Craig vs. Bulldob Milano.
 More Action
 Several other boxers including Jackie Moriarty. Lou Leonard of Bristol, Emil Eters, Joe Brown, Jackie Mrs, Joe Wallace and more will be seen in action Ellis and Jor- dan looks like the solid" bout on the card, as the pair gought to a standstill two weeks ago, Ellis get ting shade by virtue of a knock down, though Jordan gave him such whale of a battle that many fans yelped for draw. The Springfield team, which includes Jordan is always worth while. Billy Towne may give Tom Ciarlo much tougher fight than expected, as the Home City boy is a bearcat of a boxer, who has not had to take off the wraps in two local showings to date.

Factory Employment Coins
Possible 100000 Since Iulv

Washington, D. c. NLNS).-7OO,-
900 more factory workers were en-
ployed on October Is than there were
on July Is, Secretary Of Labor Perk
ins estimated in making public the
Department Of Labor's preliminary
employment report for October.
Almost 100000 persons returned to
work in manufacturing industries be-
tween August Is and September Is,
the Bureau Of Labor Statistics report
ed. Miss Perkins estimated that fac
tory employment between September
Is and October Is increased by 2OO,-
900. The increase from July Is and
August Is was 100000.
To what extent, if any, the war
situation is reflected in this increased
manufacturing activity is not revealed
by the reports received from indus
tries, and cannot be estimated, Miss
Perkins said.
However, the preliminary reports
show that among the major industries
in which substantial employment
gains were made were iron and steel,
cotton goods, woolen goods, meat
packing plants and electrical ma
chinery and equipment Decreases,
except in the canning industry, were
small and largely seasonal in char
