Winners in both of the first
two games in a a three-out-of-
five series for the title, the
Plumbers today were virtually
certain to hand the lettering
NavStas another trimming We'd
nesday night, bringing final
end to weird season.
The Stas, minus their spark
plug and captain, Philip (Cheta)
Baker, and their manager, Bob
Reid, both of whom were putting
in overtime at their navy station
jobs, presented a changed and
listless front to the galloping
Plumbers. Shorstop Anthony KEEL
ly, who injured a leg Friday
night, was also absent from the
lineup.
Castro Raped Hard
Limo Castro, who had the
Plumbers spellbound in three
games before they landed on him
Friday night, took an even worse
flashing last night.
Airman Bennett, never hard
hitter, lifted one of Castro's of
ferings for a line drive homer in
to left-center in the third in
ming, and the rest Of the Plumb
ers marched right behind him,
tallying is hits.
Everett (Two-By-Fourl Riggs
was the most painful thorn in
Castro's side through the whole
affair, hitting four singles and
double for a perfect night at bat,
in which he knocked in seven
runs and scored once himself.
Gates Allows Four
Cigarette Willie" Gates, star
Plumber tosser, gave up four
hitss walked three and famed
four, while Castro was hit Is
times, walked nine, struck out
one and delivered seven wild
pitches. All Plumber runs were
earned except one and three of
Stas' scores were unearned.
The NavStas tailed twice in
the first inning when Julio Bar
celo's triple brought in Gabriel
Rubberman) Garcia, who had
walked, and Barcelo came home
on Solomon's sacrifice fly to cen
ter.
Trailing 4 to IL after the Pipe
filters had scored three runs in
the first session and four in each
in the second and third, the Stas
sent two more across the plate
in the third on captain-shortstop
Jackie Carbonelrs brace of err
rors, but the Plumbers came
right back with five more in the
fourth.
Carbonell of the Plumbers hit
safely twice last night. scoring
four runs. Benefits homer in

singled to center, ahead of him.
In the second inning, Benefits

Nova CIamors for
Bout With Conn
Before Title Fight

NEW YORK, Jan. 13. (UP)-Pro-
moter Mike Jacobs, still side-step-
ping the Nova-Conn heavyweight
challengers' match that press and
public demand, went into another
huddle today with Ray Carlen, No
vas manager.
Carlen. rejected last night a title
tilt between Lou and Champion
Joe Louis at Madison Square Gar
den in March.
Carlen said, Nova is not a mem
Der of Louis fight-a-month club.
Nova wants to meet Louis in a big
outdoor fight at Yankee Stadium in
June. He doesn't want to fight Louis
for peanuts in the Garden
Promoter Jacobs offered Nova the
indoor March fight with Louis be-
cause he is fed up with Manager
Carlens demands for challengers'
battle with Billy Conn. Jacobs eX-
again bllc1t q tNO'e
battle is impossible because Conn rs
signed to fight Louis for the heavy
weight title in June. Jacobs insisted
that he cannot break that Conn
Louis contract.
Manager Carlen is not impressed
by the Conn-Louis contract. Carlen
insists that Promoter Jacobs and
Conns manager, Johnny Ray, guar
anteed that if Nova beat Pat Com
iskey at the Garden last Friday
night. Nova would be given a chal-
lenger's bout with Conn.
Carlen says, 80 Nova murders
Comiskey Friday night, and what
happens? Jacobs says that he'll
let Nova fight the winner of the
June bout between Conn and Louis
in September. But Jacobs knows
that if Conn Beats Louis in June
he must give Louis return title
shot in September, and Nova will be
left cooling his heels. And Jacobs
says if Nova doesn't want to wait
until September, he can fight Louis
at the Garden in March.

This is the home of the Aqua Cal

more action here with a So bill

The horses run but once week,
on Sunday, but you can make more

They provided every known means
for wagering on the thoroughbred,
and to make sure that the bettorS
have time to make the rounds, they
sometimes run as many as 16 races,
starting in the morning and run
ming throughout the afternoon after
a brief pause for lunch.
Aqua Caliente has the regular
parimutuels, to start with. If you

and books that will accept wagerS
on fourth place horses. This latter
department is boon to those strug-
Cling amateur handicappers who
aren't able to choose a steed with
speed enough to finish one-tWo-

The foreign books handle bets
on horses running at any of the
American tracks. You can figure

Chicago Sox Loom
As Surprise Team
Of Junior Loop
By GEORGE KIRKSEY

NEW YORK, Jan. 13. (UP)-1he
Chicago White SoX are always one
of the hardest clubs in the ma
iors to dope Nobody ever expects
much out of them but they usually
have a surprise in store when the
payoff comes.
The 1871 outfit runs true to form.
1t doesn't look too impressive on
paper. On the material at hand it
seems doubtful that the White SoX
can equal their 1910 record when
they won 80 games, lost 70 and
tied with the Red Sox for fourth
place. However,, Jimmy Dykes has a
way with him with castoffs, mis-
fits and pithers unable to win
elsewhere.
Dykes success with pitchers may
be due to the fact that the White
Sox have one of the best handlers
of pitchers in the business working
quietly and tirelessly in the back
ground. His name is Muddy Ruel,
and if a pitcher has any talent he
is likely to bring it out
Last season only the Indians had
better pitching than the White
Sox, great tribute to Dykes and
Ruel. The entire Chicago staff had
an earned run average of 3.74.
There won't be many changes in
the White Sox. Definite improve
ment is likely at second base, where
they were patchy last season be-
cause of Jackie Hayes eye trouble
and Eric McNair's temporary re-
tirement. Four men, will battle for
the second base job-Don Holloway,
who hit .281 for Oklahoma City:
Bill Knickerbocker obtained in
trade with the Yanks: Dario Lodi
giani, obtained in a trade with the
Athletics; and Jimmy Webb, who
played "a games there in 1910. The
three left-fielders are likely to be
retained as utility infielders.
The rest of the infield will be
the same, with Joe Kuhel at
first, Luke Appling, picked as the
All-American shortstop on the
Sporting News team, and Bob Ken
nedy, last years 19-year-old rook-
lie sensation, at third. Kennedy is
likely to blossom into a fine third
baseman.
The outfield will be Moose Sol
ters in left. Mike Kreevich in CEN
ter, and Taft Wright in right with
Larry Rosenthal the No. l reserve
Dave Short. who hit 291, and
Thurman Tucker, who hit .257,
both from Oklahoma City. will bat
tie for the other utility post.
Like the rest of the White Sox,
the pitching staff isn't impressive
on paper. But they have group
of cagey veterans who know what
pitching is all about and are tough
to beat. This group includes Ted
Lyons, who is still rolling along at
40; John Rigney, who recently mar
ried Miss Comiskey, the clubs
treasurer; Thornton Lee and Edgar
Smith, lefties; Bill Dietrich; Clint
Brown and Pete Appleton
The catching is top-notch, with
Mike fresh. the No. l man, and
Tom Turner, a bright rookie last
season, the second-string receiver.
George Dickey. brother of Bill of
the Yanks, will hold down the third
string job. He hit .315 for Oklaho-
ma City.
