ARKIE VAUGHN
 NOT so EASY TO
 PLACE ON BENCH
Anderson of Georgia Rated Good Enough 10 Replace
 Pirate Star
BY PAUL SCHEFFELS Limited Press Stan Correspondent

NOAAAgSW AAOOD 0SsSAA SVAA AOSksOAA~s~"~"
 New York, Feb. II = CUP. Its a full two months until the opening of the major league baseball sea- son but baseball men have already chosen a successor to Arky Vaughan perennial Pittsburgh Pirates slug ger. The man so honored at this early date is Rookie Ali Anderson, up from Atlanta with a .350 batting average in 148 games.
 Anderson's record is good. He's been in organized baseball for three seasons, is only 26 years old and graduated from the University Of Georgia where he was three letter man in baseball, basketball and football. However, there's one joker in the Vaughan himself.
 When National League records for the past nine years are considered there is hardly any basis for Vaug- hans removal and little room for improvement.
 Strong And Able
 Arkie, only 28 years old, lacks only the color and dash of a Babe Ruth to be one of baseball's greats. Chin tucked in, he resembles West Point cadet or heavyweight fighter in action when he takes his cut at the plate. He has powerful legs and tremendous speed in getting down to first and seldom hits into a dou- ble play.
 It's not easy to find out anything about close.mouthed Arkie. In fact, he is so self-effacing that when he came up for trial from Wichita in 1882 he was almost shipped back without~eTen being looked over. However, regular Shortstop Tommy Thevenow was injured, and Vaug- han was inserted into the breach and he's been there ever since.
 That Pie Traynor, then manager of the Pirates, didn't make a mis- take in using Vaughan is attested to by the official averages. Here are some of teh facts that make the shift Vaughan for Anderson" movement look absurd.
 Good Hitter
 In nine years in the majors he's never batted under 300 and has a lifetime average of 1925. He won the league batting crown in 1895 with .385 mark. In 1940 he fell to 300, lowest mark in his career but fin- ished among the circuits three "top tens"
 He played in 156 games and wa ninth hardest to fan with only 2 strikeouts in 691 times at bat fo an average of one strike-out every 27.6 chances.
 He was sixth among the pass-get- ters with 88 bases on balls in his 6el trips to the plate or boiled down, was able to draw walk once in every 78 trips.
 As evidence of his speed on the basepaths, he was seventh in the ten tough to-double, hitting into a doubel play only five times during the year for an average of only once everyq 1882 times at bat.
 That's all Anderson has to equal to stick with Pittsburgh.

Today's Sport Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent

Los Angeles, Feb. 11.-(UP)-If you bet anything in tomorrow's $5O,O0O Santa Anita derby that isn't 5 to 1 or better you should go back and have the sleeves in your straightjacket shortened.
 This is one race where the fa- yorite doesn't stand any more chance than a flea on Chihuahua. You can read through the records of past derbies until you get as bored as I was reading through them, without finding a favorite who was first to salute the judges. Now don't get technical on me and tell me that He Did, which won the second derby in 1886, was the favor ite, because he wasn't. He was coupled with Valevictorian and, but for this partnership, would have been at least IS to l on the board. Valevictorian was the big gun of the Silas B. Mason entry that year.
 Nice Prices.
 The other derby charts list such luscious winners as Gillie in 1885, who came pounding home to pay $32.20. In 1897 Fairy Hill paid $30.80. In 1888 Stagehand was good for $13.20, and a year later the lone Ally to capture the derby, Ciencia, paid $19.80. And last year the Cali fornia-bred Sweepida swung by first to reward his few packers $68.20 for g.
 The reason for these prices prob- ably is to be found in the fact that the derby seldom is truly run. The field is always too big for the track, as witness 1897, when no fewer than 21 steeds broke from inside and out
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-02-11

[ side the gates. In this race one third of the field had to start out side the stalls and the pumping was of the five o'clock subway variety. The jockeys, with their eyes on a $5 900 cut of the purse, always add to the interest in the big races with riding that is worthy of a rodeo.
 Good horses daw unfortunate pole positions and are lost in the snuff fl.e Bad horses are lucky in the draw and get of well and avoid trouble.
 Large Field.
 Tomorrow,s derby promises to provide another circus start. There is a good chance that well over 20 horses will answer the call to the post Right now the favorite is Charley Towards Bargain Beau ty, Porter's Cap. Howard got Por- ter's Cap for little or nothing at the Saratoga sales. and, like so many other Howard purchases. the Cap turned into four-legged mint.
 The Howard star probably will go postward a to 1 or to favorite. But you are silly to bet on him. The past performances say he is doomed and that some mysterious hide will come bounding from mo- where to take it all. If you could be certain that the race was to be truly run, and that all the horses would have equal racing luck, then you'd have to back either Porter s Cap or one of his chief rivals, they being Good Turn, Valdina Groom, Valdina Myth, Bull Geigh, Swain or CuantoS.
 Nasca.
 My special code hide for the race is-well. turn to page 313 of Dick ems Tale of Two Cities. and in the fifth sentence of the fifth paragraph you'll find it. Only in the calfskin edition, though. But I won't be a meanie and make those of you who haven't a calfSkin edition go out and buy one. I'll give you the best And what Ally. Nasca. That's the name. Nasca. Can't run a lick for the first half mile or so, but who- ever heard of mile and an eighth race being won in the first half mile? Nasca can turn it on where it counts, though, and that is in the stretch.
 So if you're listening to the race, and don't hear Nascas name called all along the backstretci1, don't wor- ry. Us the finish line that counts and that is where you'll hear about Nasca. f you don't well. don't let me hear about it either. Just wire her owners and fuss about her being overtrained or undertrained.
