JOHNSTOWN LOW PRICED CHOICE AT JAMAICA
New Derby Favorite Has Chance to Break Worlds
 Time Record
By JACK GUENTHER Limited Press Racing EditOr)

New York, April 29-(UP)-Wil- liam Woodward's Johnstown was an odds-on favorite at 3-5 in the 18th running of the $20,O00 added Wood Memorial att Jamaica this afternoon. If he wins he will fur ther solidfy his position as favorite for the Kentucky Derby.
 Five of the bay beauty's eight con- tenders also are eligible for the May classic at Churchill Downs and among them was William Ziegler's Fl Chico, the 1888 juvenile cham pion who was the second choice to- day at Al.
 Behind these two were listed A. G. Vanderbilt's Impound, Joe W. Browns T. M. Dorsett, Mrs. John D. Hertz Book Plate and Edward Duf- fy's Chief Onaway. The derby non- Night. Saratoga Stables Volitant eligibles were F. A. Clark's Lovely and George Widener's Eight Thirty. Volitant and Eight Thirty will com- pete in the Preakness.
 World Record?
 A fast track and fast horses drew a heavy crowd and officials expected a seasonal record. Turfmen thought Johnstown had a chance to break the world record for the mile and 70 yards. The son of Jamestown came within a fifth of second of the record Tuesday and was under restraint at the finish.
 He will be ridden again by Jockey Jimmy Stout today.
 The Wood is the make or break race for Fl Chico, who never before has gone farther than sprint route. Nick Wall will have leg up. Eight Thirty, at 8-1, was the only other contender given more than an outside chance. The rest were 15-1 and up.
 In years past Gallant Fox and Twenty Grand both went on from victories in the Wood to capture the derby. Only Fighting Fox, the 1888 winner, never again ran up to his Wood performance.
 Also this afternoon is the Jamaica Handicap, with purse of $5,000 for six furlongs. The three chief contenders were Sir Damion, Fight ing Fox and The Chief.

GOODMAN HOMER DRIVES REDS
 INTO TOP SPOT
Cincinnati Gains League Lead for First Time
 in 4 Years
By GEORGE KIRKsEY

(Unlted Press StaH COrreSPOhuchJ
 New York, April 29. (UP)-Take 8 tip, you National league pitchers, and don't take any liberties with Ival Richard Goodman of North view, Mo-, and Cincinnati, o. Tip- sters are Bill Lee, acknowledged pre- mier upitcher of the league, and his cohorts on the Chicago Cubs staff.
 Lee, who twice this season has pitched and won complete games, threw just one pitch to Goodman yesterday and the consequences were tremendous. The Cincinnati outf1eld- CT drove it into the right field bleachers for his third homer of the season, scoring two mates ahead of him and giving the Reds story book victory, 7-6.
 That's why the Reds are breathing the rarefied air of first place today for the first time in four long years and the Cubs are tied with the Bos- ton Bees for second place.
 One-Man Team
 Almost single-handed, Goodman, who in his four years in the Ma tional league, has never received much acclaim, hoisted the Reds to the pinnacle. In the two game series the Reds swept from the Cubs, Goodman got two homers, triple and two singles and drove in nine runs, the exact number the Cubs scored in both games.
 It was tough blow for the Cubs, who poured their two best pitchers, Clay Bryant, who won 19 last year, and lee, who won 9, at the Reds in an effort to save first place. Bryant was taken out in the seventh, and Jack Russell held on until the ninth. Werber and Frey opened the inning with singles, and Lee was rushed to the rescue.
 Goodman was first man to face him. Lee got credit for the defeat and Whitey Moore, Cincinnati's fifth pitcher, who worked only the ninth inning, received credit for the vic- tory.
 Giving the St. Louis Browns 8 shot of the same hustle serum Doc Protho has injected into the Phil- lies, Fred Haney, the fiery little pilot who once third -based for the Tigers, has his club up in second place in the American league. The Browns outslugged Cleveland yes- terday, 9-8, dropping the Indians to seventh place.
 Johnny Berardino, Browns rookie second baseman, hit two doubles and single to drive in five runs. Bill Trotter, going in the fifth, received credit for the victory. No other kames were played.

Field Is Widened Now.
The Anglo-F French bond with Po-
land commits them to the task OF
expelling Germany or any other in
vader. And they have widened the
field by declaring that they will not
quit until "Hitlerism is smashed"
England some days ago let 1t be
known that she was preparing for
a three-year war. Hitler tossed that
over his shoulder in his Danzig
speech, and declared that seven
years would find Germany still on
the job.
Experts say that in herself Ger
many couldn't hold out over any
such period of war. She lacks the
foodstuffs, the war materials and
the money. She must have help
from outside nations.
The Nazi Fuehrer's assurance pre-
sumably comes in large degree from
the assistance he expects to get
from Russia in the way of supplies

The French, these observers said,
have completed mass movements of
men and materials preliminary to a
major offensive against the heavy
Notifications guarding the Reich's
western frontier.
Action along the Blies River and
Mandel Greek east of Saarbruecken,
where the French yesterday met
fiery resistance, led Swiss military
men to conclude the French may
have gone as far as they can with
the use of patrols. To advance
further, 1t was said, the French
soon must show the full strength OF
their offensive power.
Germans Resist Firmly.
All along the western front be-
tween the Moselle River and the
Vosges foothills at Wissembourg, a
distance Of about 80 miles, the
French are meeting determined re-
sistance which can be smashed only
by a large scale attack, observers
declared.
It was the general view of Swiss
observers that the French ano
British may strike through the hills
in any one or all of three mair
sectors:

This Changing World
All the Border Stotes Except Finland Appear
Doomed; Fate Of Rumonio Now Being Decided

There Is a German economic mis-
sion in Rumania at the present
time discussing the question of sup
plying Germany with everything
that Rumania has. There is no
doubt that the government of
Premier Calinesco is willing to sign
on the dotted line, but the question
of Bessarabia cannot be discussed
between the Germans and the
Rumanians. AS soon as the clean
ing-up operations in Poland have
been completed and the new
boundaries between the U. S. S. R.
and the Reich have been definitely
agreed upon it is probable that
some new developments will be wit
messed in the Danubian Basin.
The attempts of the Balkan states
to gather under the protective wing
of Italy is not likely to succeed.
Italy at the present time cannot
afford to antagonize the Reich, and
while it is endeavoring to obtain
a stronger foothold in the Danubian
countries, it will do nothing to pre-
vent the dismemberment of any
country threatened by Germany and
Russia.
The Rumanian government Il
taking the situation philosophically
It is loath to sacrifice hundreds Of
thousands of men in hopeless com.
bat against overwhelming forces
But it says that If the conditions
of the robber barons are too severe
it would rather go down fighting
like Poland than surrender every
thing. Carol says that Rumania ha!
been invaded scores of times in it,
long history. 1t was for lont
while a Turkish province, then ar
Austrian protectorate. 1t was thu
highway of the eld barbarian horde!
which invaded the Roman Empir.
and destroyed the Roman civiliza'
ton. All that did not deprive thu
Rumanians of their nationality ane
eventually they came back as al
independent country.
Although they are reluctant tt
fight now, because they are boune
to be hopelessly crushed, they viii
fight If the conditions imposed upo1
them by the Hitler-Stalin con1bina
ton mean the destruction Of Ru
mania's independence.
