Job
By Allen Stops
Tigers Cold
Casey Curbs Gionts,
Though Hit Freely;
A'sCooI Red Sox
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


A couple Of four-alarm fires are
raging in the major leagues today
and nobody. is going to have any
peace of mind until they're out.
The Brooklyn Dodgers and Cleve-
land Indians, who finished third in
their respective leagues last season,
have started the current campaign
with two consecutive shutouts.
On the heels Of Bobby Feller's
epochal no-hitter in the Indians
opener. Johnny Allen came along
yesterday with a three-hit 40 trim
ming for the Detroit Tigers.
This exhibition warmed 26,529
Cleveland fans who braved 40
degree temperature to welcome the
Tribe back to the tepee.
For five innings the affair was a
scoreless sizzler between Jawin'
Jawn and Henry Pippen. Then in
the sixth JEFF Heath, who like Allen
has been classed as one of Cleve-
lands problem children, belted a
homer with two on and the ball
game was over.
Dodgers Maui Giants.
The Dodgers vented years of pent-
up fury on the New York Giants
yesterday with 1910 thrashing that
Bill Terry and his outfeld won't be
permitted to forget soon.
Hugh Casey gave nine hits. but
had the full cooperation of Brook
lyn's great infield to keep any of
them from meaning anything. On
the other hand the Dodgers got II
hits and made every hit a run
without a blow bigger than a double.
But once Cookie Lavagetto smacked
two-bagger with the bases loaded
and another time the team batted
around for six scores.
An important angle to Brooklyn's
success Is that the two shutouts
have been accomplished without vet
resorting to the clubs leading pitcher
OF last year, Luke Hamlin, 20-game
winner.
The only other team still unde-
feated in the majors is Cincinnati,
which was one of half q dozen
teams rained out yesterday.
As Snap Bosox String.
The Boston Red Sox were cooled
of by the Philadelphia Athletics in
the afternoon, 81, after taking a
morning contest. 7-6. to run their
string to three straight. The dou-
ble-header program was part of Bos-
tons Patriots Day celebration. and
the two games drew a total attend
ance Of $4,000.
The chief patriot was Jimmy Foxx,
with his second home run in as
many days to help decide the morn
ing game. A similar blow by Bob
johnson came with one on in the
first inning of the afternoon affair
and gave the AS all the runs they
needed on John Babich's careful,
fve-hit pitching.
The world champion Yankees got
their home season safely under way
with So nod over Washington.
The Chicago Cubs broke into the
winners circle with a SO shutuot of
the st. Louis Cardinals by Lefty
Larry French, who permitted only
six safeties.

BOSTON, April 20.-His fifth and
"last" try at the tortuous Boston A.
A. Patriots Day marathon hit the
Jackpot for little, 26-year-old Gerard
Cote of Verdun, Quebec.
For four weary years the French
Canadian news vendor has made
his try at the heart breaking New
ton Hills and he often was close,
but never winner.
But this year, which he said was
to be his last in the Boston compe-
tition, was another story. Cote, who
expects at any moment to be called
for service in the Royal Air Force,
had system this year-a system
which brought him to the finish line
nearly a half-mile ahead of his
nearest rival in the record time of
hours % minutes 1895 seconds.
Trains Carefully for Hills.
In four previous efforts Cote
finished eighth twice, 22d once and
seventh once, all because he was
unable to nurse his strength over
the hills in Newton. which have
taken tragic toll of so many am
bilious marathoners.
But this year it was different. Be-
fore the race Cote found himself a
training spot in Cumberland, r.
l.. and for two weeks he worked
over that 6-mile stretch, which in
cludes eight hills sleeper than any,
thing that Newton can offer.
And this rigid training sent Cote
to the marathon wars yesterday with
a reserve that could not be denied.
He opened fast. He says now he
didn't, that the others ran slower.
Then he settled down and the lead
ers passed him.
But he forged upward again on
those Newton hills. He had mas
tered them this time. Coming past
Boston College he took dead aim on
the leaders and within a mile he
passed them. From there on he
opened up his lead and finished
fresh as daisy.
Surprised by Record.
That his time had established a
new record was as much q surprise
TO him as any one.
"Record?" he exclaimed, "sacre
bleu! Ooh! Ooh! 1 know make
good time, but-record? Ooh! Ooh!"

ner in 1885, ran second, and Don

The best athletes 48 of the Ma

E. Lee Todd, winner of the 1899
