De Chard Spurns $500
To Fight Kenner at
Turner'S S Monday

Have you had your grain of salt
today?
Promoter Joe Turner alleges he is
willing to pay Jimmy De Chard $500
in the coin of the realm for boxing
one Jabbo Kenner on Monday
nights card at the w street coliseum
and Jimmy says nix. At least frugal
frankie Mann, Jimmie's agent, is
putting down his fiat foot on the
proposal.
Young De Chard made his profess
sional debut about 10 days ago by
f1attening one Joe LinSie and Ken
ner kayoed Larry Bochard at
Turner's in his first paid engage
ment about month ago. Both lack
experience, but Kenner might ac-
cidentally spoil De Chard's promis-
ing career with a butt or stray left
to the chin, and Mann is against
exposing his boy to such risks.
Meanwhile, a committee is being
organized to protect the District
Boxing Commission against the
WileS of Mike Jacobs. Shouting his
motto, Shoot the wrangle to me
angle" Jacobs has lighted his first
hotfoot under the commission by
confusing its members on the selec-
ton of a referee and will have EN-
talking to themselves before the
proposed Buddy Baer, Joe Louis
fight comes off.
1t is emphatically denied that Gen.
John J. Phelan, chairman of the
New York State Athletic Commits
sion, will come here to direct the
District trio for this bout.

Fayden. Hudson will be wearing a
Washington uniform some years
hence, but Danny must show con-
siderably more than that to hang
around.
Harris places premium on cour-
age. He was the first to detect it
AS one of Hudson's finer qualities
and he long has felt Walter Master
son is we'll stocked in the same de-
partment. He has strung along with
them over some rough spots be-
cause he has seen them absorb
lickings and bounce back. MacFay-
den is at an age where he must
produce or get out on short notice.
Sundra Goes Tomorrow.
Hudson's start was reminiscent Of
last season, when he lost nine of
his first II games, but there's more
reason to believe he'll get going
sooner this season. Last year he
virtually had to learn to pitch all
over again. Against the Red Sox
yesterday he couldn't make his curve
ball behave, but he's likely to have
that cured his next time out.
MaSterson was assigned the task
Of attempting TO win Washington's
first victory of Al today, facing
Charley Wagner, while Steve Sun
dra is slated to toll for the Mats
tomorrow against Emerson Dick
man. Ken Chase and Dutch Leon-
ard will labor against the Yankees
on Friday and Saturday if all goes
well.
Hudson blew three leads before
relinquishing the chucking chore to
MacFayden. Homers by Joe Cronin
and Bobby Doerr erased the Mats
first two leads and Boston locked
the score on Sid for the third time
in the ninth inning on Frankie
Pytlak's double, Pinch-hitter Ted
Williams single, Dominic Di Mag
gio's sacrifice and Finney's single.
Then came MacFayden and there
went the game.
Washington previously had blast
ed Jack Wilson from the mound in
three-run uprising in the sixth
to take a 6-3 lead.

Three Tests in a Row
Should Bare Worth
OF WI. Nine
Battling Wilson Today,
With Gonzoeo, Falmouth
Contests TO Follow

Wilson today, Gonzaga tomorrow
and Falmouth on Friday furnish a
tough stretch for Washington-Lee's
baseball team and should give fair
line on the busiest high school nine
in this area. Last season the Gen.
erals rated as one Of the top teams
in this section with II victories in
27 games
The same number of contests are
booked this year with the team hold
ing 500 average going into todays
game. A defeat by Episcopal in last
weeks opener was balanced yeSter-
day when the Generals displayed
fair fielding and plenty of punch in
downing Fairfax, ia. Pitching may
be Washington-Lee's weak point this
season with Big Ed Johnson. last
years star twirler, not back with the
team.
Melvin Winfield, promising
hurler, turned in a creditable relief
job for six innings yesterday. He
gave only two hits, struck out three
and walked the same number. STAN
ley Bowbeer, starting and winning
WI. hurler. was blasted from the
mound in the fourth inning when
Fairfax scored all four Of its runs.
1t was no contest after the first
inning, when the Generals gathered
six runs on four singles, two errors
and three walks.
Shanty Shepherd. veteran catcher,
supplied much of the teams punch
with two hits. one of them a triple,
in three official trips and scored two
runs.
Eddie De Celle at first did even
better. with three hits, one of them
a triple, and scored three runs.

Reds Vernon and Walter CBuddy)
Thomas will decide the unofficial
amateur lightweight championship
of this bailiwick tomorrow night in
the feature of l6-bout program
scheduled at Ritchie Coliseum, Uni
versity of Maryland. Prince Georges
County Police Boys Club is spon-
soring the show.
Vernon, winner of the Golden
Gloves title, halls from Police Boys
Club No. 5, this city, and is hailed
as one of the most promising young
leather -pushers in the game. He out
pointed an old rival and clubmate,
Leo Marcopulous, in winning his
most recent crown and later made
a good showing in the Eastern
tournament at New York, although
he failed to advance beyond the
second round.
Have Large FOllOwings.
Reds has a large following from
his native Southwest Washington,
and indeed, from all over the city,
for the popular youngster never has
failed to give his best and the
tougher the opposition the better
he likes it. Never has he failed
to hold his own before a home
town crowd, but Thomas may prove
to be his first stumbling block, for
the suburban youngster has potent
package in either hand and fears
nothing
Thomas, son of Rat" Thomas,
a we'll known bantam and feather
weight of yeSteryear, is one of the
most improved ringmen on the local
scene. His rise to the top was sem
sational-his path strewn with vic
tins of his soporific smashes. They
thought he whipped a pretty good
boy for the Golden Gloves novice
crown when he kayoed John Ghikas.
They knew he did when he out
pointed rugged Tony De Toto in the
A. A. U. senior semifinals, and when
he hacked down Frank McCaleb in

Savannah Champions,
Columbus, Macon Top
Sally Loop Ratings
Appear Teams to Beat
In Organization Thot
Storts on April 20

BY the Associated Press.
A rebuilt Columbus team, vet
eran outfit, and an improved
Savannah club appeared today the
teams to beat in 1941's renewal of
South Atlantic League competition.
The eight-club league squares
away for its new season April 20
when Savannah opens at Charleston,
Greenville at Columbia, Augusta at
Columbus and Jacksonville at
Macon. Two days later a second
round of opening days" will re-
verse the billings
Manager Clay Hopper's Columbus
Red Birds, defending class "B''
champions, have been rebuilt from
bumper to bumper Only three of
last years veterans, who won the
Sally playoff and the Little Dixie
series, are back. Biggest problem
will be to find another slugger like
Hooper Triplett, who led the league
at bat last year to earn promotion
to Columbus, Ohio.
Pitching Worries Macon.
Macon'S Milton Stock is little
concerned over pitching, but gener-
ally pleased with the Peaches pros
poets.
Savannah partisans think last
years pennant winners will be
stronger this time than they were
at the start of 1910, as the pitching
staff has four holdovers.
Jacksonville. which had a $3.50
season in 1910, is making fresh
start under Manager Nellie Leach,
who finished last season as a pilot
The Charleston Rebels comfort
themselves that no matter what
1941 brings, the season can't be any
worse than 1910. The club started
at Spartanburg and was taken
over by the league in July and
brought to Charleston. 1t finished
in last place, with less than so vic
tories. Owner Bobby Lamotte has
worked early and late to round up a
first class crew.

The Greenville Spinners are
rated the best in three years, and
whereas Columbia's Reds have only
one regular returning to the ranks
this year, the rest of the players are
talented youngsters who offer prom
ises of making a good showing for
the team and for themselves in
climbing the Cincinnati farm lad
der.
Several positions, including all
three outfield posts, must be filled
before the Augusta Tigers can be
considered strong contender.
Manager Ernie Jenkins is looking
to Binghamton, Newark and Kan
sas City, other New York Yankee
afhliates. to supply player REIN
forcements for the outfield, mound
corps and possibly one or two of the
infield posts.

Landon Has Star Hurl
As II Takes Opener
With Gilman Nine

Landon's veteran baseball team
promises a much better season rec
ord than last year, when it won
two and lost seven. The Brown
and White made a successful start
yesterday by topping Gilman, 1875,
in seven innings.
Big Paul Baker pitched a four
hit game for Landon and led his
teams hitting attack with three
safeties. 1t was easy for Landon
after the second inning, when it
scored nine runs. A blow to the
nine, despite yesterdays victory, is
that it likely will be without the
services of John Sager, regular
third baseman, for about 10 days.
He received a spike wound in his
leg that required several stitches.
