Teller to Follow NewsOm; Game for Finn Fund at
 Tampa Tomorrow
BY HARRY FERGUSON United Press Shorts Edik0rl


 Tampa, Fla, March 16.-(UP)-A breeze off the bay carried the rurnor today that Buck" Newsom, six feet, two inches of muscle and bone and star of the Detroit Tigers pitch ing staff, will be blazing them through for the American league when the umpire calls "play ball" tomorrow in the all-star game.
 The hopes of the National league in the early innings of the game for the benefit of the Finnish Re- lief Fund arealmost certain to be riding on big Paul Derringer of the Cincinnati Reds, a fireball finger with such uncanny control that he can almost thread needles at tts plate.
 Neither Manager Joe Mccarthy of the American leagGe nor Manager Bill McKechnie of the National league made an official announce. ment of the starting pitcher, but McKechnie is known to lean toward either Derringer or Bucky Walters, the aces of his own Cincinnati staff. On what he has shown in training this spring Derringer should get the call.
 Derringer vs Newsom should be something to see for the two or three innings they will be in there. New- som won 20 games and lost last season; Derringer won 25 and lost 2.
 All May Play
 McKechnie, with the cream of the National league talent, at his command, is going to try to give all 25 of the players on his squad crack at the American leaguers. Other National league pitchers be- sides Derringer and Walter who may see service are Harry Gumbert, Gi- ants; Kirby Higbe, Phillies; Luke Hamlin, Dodgers; and Mort Cooper and Clyde Shoun, Cardinals.
 American league hurlers who will be ready to relieve Newsoln are Bob Teller, Cleveland; Dutch Leonard, Senators; Tommy Bridges, Tigers; Red Ruffing, Yankees; Lefty Grove, Red Sox: and Lefty Gomez, Yam kees.
 Both managers stood pat on start- ing lineups announced earlier in the week. Mccarthy will have a starr studded infield chosen from the Yankees and the Red Sox--Jimmy Fo2x on first, Joe Gordon on sec- ond, Joe Cronin at short stop and Red Rolfe at third base. Bill Dickey will catch and the utfield will con- sist of Charley Keller, Joe Di- Maggie and Ted Williams, brilliant sophomore star of the Red Sox.
 Against that murderous collection of hitters McKechnie will start Johnny Mize at first, Tony Cucci- hello at second, Bill Jurges at short and Harry Lavagetto at third, Er- nie Lombardi will start behind the plate and the outfield will be Mel Ott, Frank Demaree and Morrie Arnovich.
 Special bleachers have been built here at Plant field and a capacity crowd is expected. The proceeds of the game will be devoted to the feeding, clothing and housing of Films who were -combatants in the war. Game time is 1::30 p. rn.. and the conetst will be broadcast by the Mutual Broadcasting Sys- tenn.

 U. s. COURT TITLE.
Westerners Prove Class of Tourney at New
 York Meet

New York, March 16.--(UP)- Basketball'S national championship belonged to western team-Colo- rado university's Golden Buffaloes flor the first time today.
 Colorado, champions of the Rocky Mountain Big Seven Conference for the last three years, won the third annual national invitation tourna- ment last night with a 51-40 tri- umph over Duquesne university of PittSburg. Oklahoma's ,Aggies. champions of the Missouri Confer ence, took third place with a 23-22 victory over DePaul of Chicago.
 It was Cclorados 18th straight victory, including a selni- final win over DePaul Wednesday night in Madison Square Garden. and brought their season record of IT victories iii 19 starts.
 Duquesne, two-point victor over Colorado in an early season over- time game, put up "a better battle than the final score indicates. Only 10-point surge in the last seven minutes of play gave the Buffs their 11-point winning margin. That was when the Dukes abandoned theri cautious tactics and broke loose with a hell-for- leather attack designed to crack the tight Colorado defense. But their offensive netted only four points to Colorado's 10.
 Oklahoma fought of a second- half DePaul rally to win a first game hair-raiser. Trailing by five points at half time and apparently beaten, DePaul tied it up at 21-21 and then lost in the most exciting finish of the tourney.
 Guard Jess Renick, who tied for scoring honors with Stan Szukala of DePaul, each with seven points, won the game on a field goal with a minute and 10 seconds to go.

TODAY'S SPORT
 PARADE
BY HENRI McLEMORE Limited Press Staff Correspondent

St. Petersburg, March 16.-tUP)- The New York Yankees aren't quite ready to fall apart.
 The chances are they will Stagger through the 1940 season and man. age to win the pennant by ten or twelve games.
 This information, which is scarce ly exclusive, was gained after only one day in St. Petersburg. As a matter of truth, it was gained after only one hour of sitting around and talking to Bill Dickey. As the vet .eran of the team, as the man with the longest term of service with the world champions, it is only natural to assume that the first signs of erosion will appear in Dickey.
 So, sought him out, in order to study him at first hand and deter mine if the greatest catcher in base ball was opening at the seams and showing signs of wear and tear after twelve years of work with the Yankees.
 Sad news though it be to the other seven clubs in the league, I must say that Dickey appears as hale and hearty as the day he broke in behind the bag in Yankee Sta dium in 1928. He is as hard as nails. Fast as he ever was, and speaks lightly of catching upwards of 125 games.
 Only two days ago, in 8 game against the Cincinnati Reds, he scored from second base on short single, crossing the plate with a slide that Ty Cobb wouldn't have been ashamed of in his palmiest days The slide took a little skin off his hip but Dickey dasn't both- cred by it.
 "Shucks," the Arkansas traveller said said, I'm a young guy. Whats a little bruiSe or bump?".
 Key Man Bill
 So you see what the other clubs must face again" this year. The key man of the Yanks-and Dickey is the key man-is looking forward to another great year. In addition to health and vitality, Dickey has the soundest knowledge of rival bat terS and pitchers in the American league. For twelve years he has been student as well as perform CT, and there isn't man who can put his finger as surely on the weakness and strength of opposing players as Dickey can.
 As Dickey points out it is a bit absurd to predict crack-up of the Yankees.
 Sure, we've won four pennants T row, and four world series" he said, but how many veterans have we on our team? Just two, that's all. Red Ruffng and myself. The rest of the team is young, up and coming, and eager. And if you think Ruffing is slowing down, just come out and catch him some morn- lngs. He is better this year than he has been in a long time, and that's saying plenty"
 Dickey believes that Charley Kel- Ter, the freshman sensation of last year, and the hero of the world series, will begin to reach his full stature this year.
 There's a great ball player. He can knock the cover of the ball and he can go and get it."
 Dickey thinks Lee 0rissom, the patcher obtained from the Reds, will win plenty of ball games for the Tanks.
 There aren't many better fast balls in baseball than his," Dlckey said, "and he Is c worker. He is going to be . real surprise"
 AS for the rest of the Yanks- well. what more do you want than Q DiMageiO in center, a sslkirk irl left. a Rolfe on third. a Orosotli 0ll short, e Gordon on second. and nt Dahlgren at flret2 Kt,s tha efando,,t
