The preponderance Of British be-

and two things happened at once:
The British started mobilizing
toward Syria and began air attacks
on Syrian points. and the French
started propaganda efforts to prove
that they needed German aid to re-
pei British attack.
The British countered by announc-
ing. via their Turkish friends. that
Germany already had landed 20. 900
men in civilian dress. who would
doff their tourist garb and take up
arms just as soon as sea-borne
transports landed them.
Also the British asserted that 400
German planes were already at
Syrian airdromes. ready for an at
tack on Iraq's British army from
bases supplied, in defiance of
Franco-British friendship, by agree
ment with the Petain government
headed by Darlan.
The observers in this country were
not fooled by this sort Of diplomatic
byplay. and were able to recognize
the same maneuvers, with some
variations. that had preceded the
German occupation Of the Balkans
and the subsequent blitz attack upon
Greece.
Britain's plan was not only a de-

KAPLAN TO BE S|DETRACKED IN
 TITLE BOUT TRY
Boston Boy Beats Cham- piOn Zivic By Convince
 ing Margin

Boston, April 19 -(UP)- Cocky Mike Kaplan demanded title shot today after beating World Welter- weight Champion Fritze Zivic at his own style of scrapping, but 1t ap- peared that the 23-year-old Boston stylist probably will have to wait a few months.
 Mike Jacobs, New York boxing czar who has zivic tied up, said the Pittsburgh slugger positively will go through with his present schedule. there will be no changes"
 Zivic has been booked for non- title matches with Tony Marteliano of Brooklyn, N. r., at New York, May 2, and with Phil Fur of Wash- ington at Philadelphia, May 13. Then he probably will defend his crown against Freddie Cochrane at Newark, N. J., May 26.
 Jacobs also was believed set on arranging a return bout at New York between Zivic and Al (Bummy) Davis, who was given 8 life suspension for his tactics in their initial encounter and later in- ducted into the army.
 Kaplan's best chance of crack at the championship seemed to rest with local promoter Rip ValenN who expressed marked interest at the porspect of an indoor title bout here in September. Meanwhile, Kap- Ian will defend his New England 147-pound diadem in the latter part of May against Georgie Martin, an- other Boston boy who has climbed to success in New York and Phila- delphia rings.
 Outroughed Champ
 Kaplan hit a new peak in his comparatively short ring career last night by outroughing zivic to gain an unanimous decision in a 10-round overweight bout.
 It was Kaplan's second triumph over 8 member of the famed fighting Zivics and erased his previous loss to Fritzie at Philadelphia before the clouting Croatian gained and re- tained the title by twice conquering Henry Armstrong. Kaplan started his big-time climb little more than two years ago by defeating Eddie Zivic, an older brother.
 The fiashy Kaplan piled up com manding lead and then withstood Zivic's all-out rally in the final two rounds. He was credited with five ,.o,,f,ds nS, fha TTy,itad press acore sheet to three for the 26-year-old champion. The third and fifth rounds were tallied as even.
 Punch for Punch
 An accurate left jab and his will ingness to swap dock-brawl wallops with Zivic proved the deciding fac- tors for Kaplan. AS early as the second round when Zivic landed a low blow, Kaplan moved in and fol- lowed suit. Merry Mikes best round was the seventh when he landed two heavy overland rights to the side of Zivic's face just before the bell.
 They continued to punch after the end of the ninth and then de- clined to shake hands at the start of the tenth when zivic failed wildly in an attempt at a haymaker.
 A partisan crowd of 9092 fans rocked Boston Garden with cheers when Kaplan's hand was raised. The gross was $l6,544 with net of $15,- O63. Zivic's share was $5272 and Kap- Ian received $30l2.

BOSTON RED SOX
 HAVE WON THREE T|LTS HARD WAY
DOerr Already Looks Like Most Valuable Player
 for 194l Season
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY United Press Staff Correspondent

New York, April 19 - (U.P) - Forget the collapse of the Cincin- natl Reds for the moment, over- look the stumblings of the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Yankees, pass lightly over the sensational start of the New York Giants and look what the gold-plated Boston Red Sox have done
 For one thing they haven't been licked and are leading the American League with three triumphs in three starts. But no team could come closer to losing three in a row and win them all in last ditch stands. On opening day Washington had them beaten, 6-4, going into the ninth. The Red Sox scored three runs and won, 7-6. The next day the Senators went into the ninth leading, "A, but Boston tied 1t with another 3-run rally and went on to win in the twelfth, 8-7.
 DOerr Stars
 Yesterday the Athletics were leading, 20, going into the seventh and 2-l going into the ninth but the Red Sox triumphed, 3-2. And in Boston's gallant back-to-the-wall victories the shining figure has been Bobby Doerr, games greatest sec- ond baseman without doubt since Joe Gordon moved to first base. In three games Doerr has hit four home runs, driven in nine runs and handled 16 chances without a bob ble. Doerr personally won yester- days game with his two homers-- one in the seventh with none on and another in the ninth with Man. ager Joe Cronin on base.
 or Nose Grove pitched seven in- nings for the Red Sox and allowed only two hits, but one of them was homer by Sam Chapman with a mate on, thus he left the game trailing, 20. Herb Hash pitched the last two innings and held the As hitless
 Home runs enabled the Champion Tigers to score their first victory 8 Az win over the Indians before 42,- 165 at Detroit. charlie Gehringer's home run broke a 1-1 tie in the sixth and Birdie Tebbetts' round- tripper with a mate on clinched 1t. Tommy Bridges allowed only six hits until the ninth and then had to have relief from Al Benton.
 In the other American League games Washington hammered out IT hits and beat the Yankees, "A, for it's first victory and the White Sox plugged along to 6-3 triumph over the Browns behind Ted Lyons Shit twirling. It was Lyons 2SSrd triumph.
 Ott Did It
 The Giants reeled of their fourth straight by defeating the Phillies, 7-2, and took undisputed possession of first place Mel Ott's homer with the bases loaded after the Phils' missed 8 double play which would have retired the side wrecked Vito Tamulis. Bob Bowman, former Cardinal making his first start for the Giants, hung up his tenth straight victory over Philadelphia in three years.
 The Cardinals streak hit a snag when the Cubs came from behind to hand St Louis its first loss, 6-4. Forty-one year old Charlie Root went the route to score his 194th major league victory. Bill Nichol- sons homer with a mate on base was the Cubs big punch.
 The Dodgers came out of their nose-dive by pounding IA hits and han tfraoV flaM naaa 1fmA Gtw R0nAan errors helped the Brooklyn cause.

 5OO,OOO FANS
Cote, Kelley or PawsOn Among Top FavOrites
 to Win Famous Run

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Boston, April 19-(UP) - Hoary plodders and speedy striplins all run today in the 45th renewal of the Boston A. A. Marathon over a course probably as g7lelling as that pursued by ill-fated Philip pedes on his historic trek to Athens from the Plains of Marathon.
 Some call 1t the nations daftiest sport. Others term is the purest form of amateurism. But most tom- petitors are content just to take their annual shot at being sports page king for a day.
 They run for Greek laurel wreath and 8 gold medal but the only reward for all except the win ner will be a steaming bowl of beef stew and a cup of coffee.
 Free Show
 With about 500O00 spectators lining the course, it is unquestiona- bly, the biggest free show" in the country. B. A. A. officials pay the yearly bill of approximately $l,500 from proceeds of their indoor win- ter track meet at Boston Garden.
 Precisely at noon, Starter Walter A. Brown will fire the gun, just as his late father used to do, and some i50 pavement pounders will head for the first turn on the colln- try road leading 26 miles and 1885 yards to the finish line in Boston's Back Bay.
 Champions and pretenders alike, nearly all have a burning desire to lead the way through the sar- dine-packed stretch throng after the killing climb over Newtons hills.
 For most competitors, a victory would eliminate gloriously long months of strict training and pri- vation and running back roads at dawn and dusk between regular hours of employment. Some are youths who hope to get jobs or bet ter positions by winning the famed classic. Veterans are back for just one more fling" A minority who seek publicity usually sink to the roadside after 8 couple of miles.
 Favorites are as numerous as hills and dales along the course. The field, cut by the draft, includes a half dozen former winners and bumper crop of youths, all of whom feel they are ready to overthrow the old guard.
 Closest to top favorites are de. lending champion Gerard Cote of St. Hyacinthe, Que, who raced the fastest full marathon in history here last year, and Leslie Pawson, 36-year-old Pawtucket, R. l., park foreman and twice titlist.
 Brown Uncertain
 Curbstone critics also back smil- ing Johnny Kelley of Arlington, 1885 victor and thrice runnerup, for his consistency and unpredictable Ellison (Tarzan) Brown of Vest erly, R. l., Narragansett Indian who twice has won the B. A. A. and probably is the swiftest of all If in shape.
 Youths like Don Heinicke of Baltimore. Md, Fred McGlone of Boston, a converted golfer. Joe Smith, Medford milkman, Paul Do- nato, Boston strongboy, Scotty Rankine of Preston, Ont, and Lou regory Gof Batavia, N. r., will get plenty of support.
 Two ancient marathoners-lar- ence De Mar of Keene, N. H., sev- en-time winner, and 57-year-old Bill Kennedy of East Portchester, N. Y, who won the 1917 renewal will get the bulk of the crowds cheers as they trot along.

CUNNINGHAM GOOD

New York, April 19-(UP))-Bill Cunningham, known as the coun- tryis highest paid sports writer, has signed a contract with the United Feature Syndicate for national syn dication of his column, which will deal with general topics as well as sports.
 The Boston Herald, which re- gently employed Cunningham at a salary of $26,000 a year. was a party to the contract for syndication.
 The agreement was signed by Cunningham, Robert B. Choate of the Boston Herald, and George A. Carlin of the United Feature Syn- dicate.

along about the second day of the tournament.
 Grover Cleveland Alexander wishes to express his thanks to the many baseball fans who contributed to the fund that will help him get back on his feet after a serious ill- ness. The old pitcher says things looked bad for Q while, but the fans kindness was as much of Q tonic as striking out three men In c row with the bases loaded.
 Nobody is likely to get hurt very badly, but the coming fight be- tween Ken Overlin and Billy Soose for the middleweight championship will draw out the old-time boxing fans who like to see the fancy stuff. Neither Overlin nor Soose can punch much, but they are a pair of cuties who set 8 terrific pace.
 Manager Jimmy Dykes of the Chicago White Sox, who rides the opposing team lnmercifully, didn't call the Cleveland Indians "cry babies" once during the opening game at Cleveland.
 Docs that mean you're going to lay of the Indians this year?" in- quired Henry Andrews of the Cleve- land press.
 T can't answer that one," Dykes said. "becalIse by June I might be calling the Indians anything"
 Touching the bases around the baseball circuit: Lefty Gomez, the eminent wise cracker of the New York Yankees, says he has de- veloped a slider ball this season. "Every time I look up," Gomez add- ed, "a batter is sliding into third" Pee Wee Reese, the kid short- stop who was Brooklyn's idol last year, made two errors in one game and now the Dodger fans are riding him to death, proving that it's either @ famine or 8 feast in Dod- gerland Bill Klen, supervisor of National League umpires, sits in the press box to watch his men in blue perform you ought to see the impires hustle when they know Bill is on the premises [. It would have been worth plenty to see Doc Prothro, manager of the Phil. lies, pinch hit and play an inning in the outfield in an exhibition game on the way up north |. the Doc probably figured that the efficiency of the Phillies couldn't be lowered much by his presence in the lineup, even at his age.
