Flew York May 9-(up)--The most set-up man in baseball today was tho janitor in charge of the Amer ican legaue cellar,
 He wore 0 carnation in the lapel of his overalls and twirled his broom as if t were q malacca cane.
 ue had classy tenants at last. The New York Yankees. long time occupants of the penthouse, had come down to the basement.
 The janitor's happiness was un- derstandable. After listening to the squawks of such shabby and habit ual cellar ,!wellers as the St. Louis Browns and the Philadelphia Ath- 1etics, he glowed with pride to have such poor but proud occupants as the New York Yankees.
 For one thing. the Yankees had some pennants to tack up on the wall. And they brought some silver ware, too. The head of the family even had big silver cup on which was engraved Champions of the World, 1886 1887, 1888, l930."
 The only thing that disturbed the janitor vas the fact that his new tenants, the Yankees, didn't act as if they intended to stay very long, They didn't tidy up the place a bit, but spent their time looking out of the windows at the upstairs ten- ants.
 As the janitor's helper, went to the Yankee Stadium yesterday af-

ternoon to see the Yankees get the keys to the basement. They got them from the Cleveland Indians, the temporary and giddy occupants of the seventh floor front Amer- ican league apartment.
 Not Discouraged
 The Tanks took their miSfortufie with all the grace and fortitude one would expect of true bluebloods, There was no discouragement, no complaining, no hanging of heads; nothing but an air of assurance that not even the youngest utility member of the family would be in the basement long enough to suffer from the stuffiness of the drab lodgings.
 Manager Joe Mccarthy looked for better days to come very soon.
 This Is 6 great ball club, one of the greatest, but there never was one so good that it didn't have Slumps. We had one last year when the Red Sox knocked us off five oH uibilVb buV JOu ISIItIIlDtI WIlpTC we finished. l have hVrad it said that the boys aren't hiistling. Just the opposite is true. My biggest job right now Is to keep them from hustling too hard, because that IS the same as pressing, and pressing Is fatal to an athlete"
 Big Bill Dickey said there wasn't anything wrong with the Yankees that a few base hits wouldn't cure.
 And we'll get 'em, don't worry" he said. And when we start we'll make a few of these pitchers who have been heating us sorry they ever heard of us."
 Let those other teams have their fun" said second basemaf1 Joe Cor don. T haven't been around long but I never heard of World Series checks beinC passed out in May.
 "Will those other guys love us in December as they do in May?" cracked Lefty Gomez. When DiMag and Bill and Red and Joe ard Char lie get to belting that ball they'll find out who IS boss in this league"
 On the bench. in the dressing room, on the field, the Yankees didn't give a sign of being worried about their slow start.
 If they're finally breaking up they dent know it.

AMBERS RATED 13TO5 CHOICE
 OVER JENKINS
Champ Looks Bad In Training - Knocked
 Down By Spar.Mate
TY JACK CUDDY

United Frees Staff Correspondentl
 New York, May 9.-(UP)-Cham. pion Lou Ambers, unimpressive ip training and menaced by weight. making, still is the 13-to-5 favorite to retain his lightweight crown to- morrow night against Texas Lew Jenkins at Madison Square Garden.
 In quoting this figure, price-mak- CT Eddie Borden said the betting was heavier than in recent years for 6 battle in the 135-pound di- vision.
 Borden added that the odds were ? to l against Ambers scoring a knockout during their IS rounds, and to 1 against hard-hitting Jenkins belting out the champion.
 This is heavy-betting fight for the same two major reasons that 1t will be big-crowd brawl: CD It losses into the ring Ambers, a mas ter boxer, against Jenkins, a deadly puncher, and (2) 1t pits young, hungry challenger against mature Ambers, who may be fading.
 Experts are agreed that Jumping Jack Ambers, at 26h years, no long CT has the blinding speed and adroitness that enabled him to wrest the crown from Tony Can- zoneri and win 1t back from Henry Armstrong. Moreover. he has had six weeks of travail in try ing to pare down from 146 pounds to the i35 limit.
 Although champion Lou never has been an impressive performer ir training tlike many other great fightcrS, his work in yesterdays last sparring session at Summit, N. J., verged on the pathetic. Dur ing his three rounds with Austin McCann, he ate far too much leather and finally suffered a knock down in the third stanza.
 At the end of the workout, King Lou still scaled 137 pounds, forc- ing him to do plenty of gym work today If the extra suct is to be sweated off. Should he fail to make l35 pounds for the weigh-in tomor- TOW noon, Ambers must forfeit $l,- 800 to the boxing commission, and automatically lose his title. The fight would be a non-title affair, and Jenkins later would meet some other challenger for the crown.
 However, 1t Is virtually certain that AmberS will make the l35- pounds. even If he has to spend tonight ip Turkish bath. But will such pairing down weaken himp Even his manager. Al We'll. doesn't know. We'll says, We can't tell, until we see him in the ring"
 AmberS and his encourage will come into New York from Summit tomorrow forenoon. Jenkins un- cxpectedly broke camp at Green- wood Lake, N. r., last night and motored Into a New York hotel. Af- ter a month at his first training camp, the 23-year old Texas chal. lenger said he was Gin the pink and rarin' to go,"

MUDDY TRACK IS POSSIBILITY
 FOR PREAKNESS
BimeIech May Be Favored Again - Honey Cloud
 Wins Dixie Handicap
By JACK GUENTHER Limited Press Racing EditOr)

Baltimore, Md, May Q tUP)-The weather jinX haunted Bimelech the entire week of the derby blew in from Kentucky today as spring rains pelted old Pimlico with a reminder that the preakness may DC run on a muddy track for the third straight year,
 The skies began to curdle shortly after Mrs. A. J. Abel'S, Honey Cloud scored nose victory in the 36th running of the $20,000 Dixie handi- cap, and they Sprinklcd the Balti- more area with light drizzle for hours. The rain wasn't hard enough to seriously change the track this morning, but the skies remained bleak.
 Despite 6 bulky field of a dozen starters, Bimelech was Q solid choice to reverse his poor derby form in the preaXness-until 1t be- gan to look like rain. The drizzle threw the golden jubilee renewal of the $50 ,000 added stake open again.
 It is open to Gallahadion the derby victor, Midland, Dit, Pictor, Royal Man, Andy K., Jacomar, Your Chance, Marogay and possibly Sun Pharos, Abrasion, Pass Out, Asp, and Snow Ridge, All of these have tested the Pimlico oval in the past two days, either in competition or trial spins. The others appear de- finitely out.
 Weather Important
 The weather holds the key to the field. It was on mud here a year ago that Challedcn upset JohnstoWn and 1t was over the same sort of slippery footing that Dauber streak cd home in 1888. On dry track around 2-l, but on any other kind of surface Dit, Gallahadion and Pictor will come in for plenty Of backing
 The last preliminary to the preak . ness was passed with the running Of the Dixie. Honey Cloud, claimed by owner trainer jockey Abel three years ago for $2,500 proved that smart handling can change a sprin- ter into q router when he ran n front all the way for a slim victory in a finish that wasn't decided un- til two photographs were developed and q claim of foul was argued for 10 minutes.
 Honey Cloud broke on top and stayed there in q head and head race. Tn the last few yards, W. c. Hatch's ArHentine Filisteo cmae on with rush Tor second and W. L.. Brann's Aethelwold took third just another nose behind. Isolater, Bclay, Masked General and olympus fol- lowed in that order.
 The winner ran 6 mile and three sixteenths over fast footing In l'5a 3-5, two second off the record, carrying 1l5 pounds under the hand of Henri Mora for q long-shot pay off of $1520 on straight bets and net winnings of $l8,250 -- which boomed his earnings for the season to $30, $50.

New Yale Trainer Puts ''Kibosh"
 On Tradition Laden Gales Ferry

was sired by Q mountain goat. It even took while to convince himself the trouble wasn't astigna- tism.
 But 1t was his job to whip the squad Into physical shape for an 8-game schedule. The time was e critical one. Yale was getting an annual scalping by Dartmouth with disquieting regularity; Harvard was winning too many games to satisfy the alumni, and except for the fa- nous Iron man" team of l035- which trimmed Princeton 70 with out Q substitution-the enemy WaS- n't striking their colors often enough for the A. A.
 Hoyt laid out a traning sched- ule, which included an enforced 8o0-yard gallop every day to the practice field. When the players were In shape, he turned them over to Raymond w. (Ducky) Pond for some head coaching.
 The squad looked fine, but the field began to create headaches. It sloped so that ont team was playing down hill and the other up hill. The backs were having serious trouble with timing, and the plays weren't clicking tho way they were mapped out on the blackboard. A ball carrier on the down-hill team, given perfect interference, was In danger of going through @ hole In the line with such momentum that he couldn't stop until he hit the river or was brought down by some of his own men. The up-hillers were developing hammcr.toes from digging Into the turf to keep from being trampled upon.
 Expensive
 While this was going on the A. business office was getting increas- ingly concerned about re-establish- Ing Yale's prestige in the Ivy league. It began to add Up the bills for carting the squad and extra per- sonnel to the river Then, when the news arrived that the new trainer didn't think much about Gales Ferry, the die was cast.
 The A.A., Issued Q brief announce ment that the squad would stay at home this year, sleep in comfortable beds, play on a level field, and get away from the Gales Ferry night- mare. After all. 1t didn't make any difference whether the crew de- veloped bowed legs running up and down hill-they didn't show in boat. But e football team was dif- ferent.
 And that's why the squad isn't going to Gales Ferry this fall.

 New Haven, Conn, May 0-(UP) Ever hear of Q football team that played the first half Of the game running up hill, and tho second on toboggan slide2
 Charlie Hoyt never did, either, and that's why the Yale football team isn't going to Gales Ferry this fall for It's conditioning workouts
 Hoyt is the squads new trainer and doubles in track. He came to Yale from Michigan last August after Maj. Prank A. Wandle retired as muscle-builder for the football CTS, and Frank Randy quit as cin- der coach. Hoyt, a track star in his own name and who knocked off ten of the big-ten championships for his Michigan teams in eight years, wrapped up both Jobs In one bundle and went to work.
 A month after he signed the pay roll, he climbed aboard bus with the squad, coaches, handlers, equip ment, etc, and was off to Gales Ferry--creW quarters borrowed every year since 1884 to get the varsity squad away from campus influences during the crucial dress rehearsals before the season openings.
 Nice View. Bad Ground
 Hoyt was impressed with the beautiful view of the Thames river, and the multi-colored countryside, He was impressed with the morale of the squad, and friendliness of the coaches, the weather and the menu. But, 1t is reliably rumored, that when he got his first look at the playing field he began subscribing to crop reports,
 The field resembled e ploughed pasture on 0 hillside, With ruts deep enough to hide e football. Hoyt had never been east before, and for q moment he began Ia s,,Snoet thnt the Vale Bulldop
