IT'S ZERO HOUR
 IN BIG LEAGUE FOR RECRUITS
Performance Counts Now and Populations Are
 Forgotten
BY PAUL SCHEFFELS limited prNoa gtaR Cnrrazm0p.A

New York, April 11-(UP)-From April 1 on it's "Stop- Pooling Time" in the major leagues as the cham pions of yesteryear in baseball's top minor leagues face the supreme test along exhibition trials, homeward bound for the season opening, April IS.
 All winter, rookie crowns have glittered brightly and brought fancy prices but now the batting cham pions, pitching champions, and league-leaders in every department of ball-fleld prowess must make 1940 figures pay of at a good rate of ex- chance, or else.
 This year finds every leading r1i- nor league represented by a cham pion performer on a National league roster. Even the Cincinnati Reds were not content to stand pat on their world championship lineup.
 The Reds rate favorites in the senior circuit pennant race because their squad which defeated Detroit in the World Series has been rein forced by platoon of star minor league additions, notably the batting champions of the Southern Associa- ton and the Eastern league, an American Association pitcher whom no rival topped in victories in the 40 campaign, and "the best third baseman in the Southern since Pic Traynor," Chuck Aleno.
 Many "No. 1 Rookies'
 This roundup of champions. un. expected only in the case of tho Reds, brought the National league as @ whole, a record-breaking roll. call of aspirants for the title of "No 1 rookie"
 From the Double-A's came Lot NovikoH, Pacific Coast league bat. ting and run-driving-in champ, ant sensation of the Chicago Cubs training camp; Ernie White, Amer ican Association pitching king botl in the earned-rrn- averages and vic. tory percentages, now tossing hi southpaw slants for the St. Loui! Cardinals; and Nick Etten, Inter. national league run driving ii champ, who'll drive in this year fol the Philadelphia Phillies, the Ma tional league spot where runs bat. ted in are needed most. From the two Class Al leagues come Ace Adams, strikeout king o1 the Southern Association and to tht Cardinals, Sam Nahem, earned TUT monarch of the Texas league, ant his Houston teammate, Spud Krist whose 1.7l was close to Naham' 1.65 and whose 22 wins far eclipse Nahem's 8.

Arlington, Mass, April 1i-(UP)- The 45th renewal of the Boston A. A. Marathon on April l9 will be wide-open race with any one of about 8 dozen experienced runners likely to win.
 Although it's difiicult to predict what "Tarzan" Brown will do, I think he is the runner to beat. I like Gerard Cote, defending cham pion, to land second place with Les lie Pawson third.
 I'm picking myself for fourth po- sition with Joe Smth, Andre Bru- nelle and Paul Donate, all good com- petitors, as others who will finish nj the first 10.
 Training for me started Jan. 8 this year. Since that time I have been doing plenty of road work. I won the North Medford 20-mile race, considered a B. A. A. baromet- CT, for the sixth time In its 10 years of competition. Incidentally, I hold the course record for this race.
 Sportswriters have termed me the most consistent runner in the B. A. A. event from 1884. My record in- cludes a win, three seconds, a third, A flint and q 18th. Last year was runner-up to Cote in his record breaking performance. This will be my llth B. A. A. race.

The Bruins slammed c 4-2 vic- tory over the Detroit Red Wings before 10,i37 fans last night to take e 80 lead in their best.o9.seven series.
 Detroit, which had given the No. tional league champions two stih tussles at Boston, wilted under the Bruins' scoring drive which pfo- duced tallies In each period.
 The Wings took the lead at S:lb In the first period on Q goal by Bill Jennings who slapped home Q rebound of Don drosso's. Both Crosse and Syd Abel were given assists on the play.
 Boston tied 1t up A seconds later when Eddie Wiseman took Roy Conacher's rebound and smashed t Into the net. Detroit's second and last goal came when Abel nudged the puck home at 7:45 on pass from Bill Stewart.
 Nice Work
 Milwt Schmidt clinched the game for the Bruins then with two straight goals. Schmidt took c pass at the blue line, sailed past e lone Detro!ter who spotted him too late and slipped the puck just inside the net to tic the score at i4:07 of the second.
 He racked up his next zeal in the second period with . shot from 50 feet out that whizzed past Qoalie Johnny Mowers before he even saw 1t. The last Boston goal came late in the final session on close shot by Art Jackson while De- troit defenseman Alex Motter was in the penalty box.
 The fourth game of the series will be played here tomorrow night

tributing champions to the Na- tional. Buster Maynard, Piedmont batting king at Richmond last year, is a New York Giant now. From Decatur, Max Surkont, the best pitcher in the TIT, champion in per- centage, ERA and strtkeouts, joined the Cards mound battalion. The same leagues run-batted-in cham pion, Don Manno, is with the Bos- ton Bees.
 Roll-calling the champions does not tell the cmoplete story of new blood in the National league. From the Coast league, for instance, be- sides Novikoff, Steve Mesner, the Mo- 2 hitter, goes to the Cards; Aldon Wilkie, leading winning streak pitcher for the Seattle outfit, is a Pittsburgh Pirates southpaw; Ed Stewart, third only to Novikoff and Masner in hit production, is a Pi- rate outfielder.
 Besides White, there is Reds rookie pitcher Bob Logan, south- paw whose 18 wins were unsur- passed; Frank Melton, strikeout leader, now a Phillie: and two Col lmbus pitchers, Harry Brecheen and Murry Dickson, who won l6 and 17 respectively.
 Heeney Majeski, the International leagues .478 hitter in the little World Series, is 8 Boston Bees hopeful. Rochester contributes tc the Cardinals, Hank Gornicki and Herschel Lyons, right-handed pitch. CTS who each won 19.
 Down the line the cream of the crop is up for testing. Around tho corner the big league season starti and the crowns of 40 will mee their test on National league dia' monds every day from April IS on. l, lLa.

Big "Gates" Ahead
 Baseball attendance will be ter- rife, particularly in such industrial centers as Detroit where there Is national defense money being paid out for wages and where night- shift workers will flock to the ball park. Colorful rockies such as the Yankees second base combination of Rizzuto and Priddy and Lou Novikoff. the Chicago Cubs Mad Russian" will pack the customers into parks wherever those two teams play.
 Hank Leiber, most stubborn of hold-outS this season, finally will report to the Chicago Cubs and get two singles and double the first day he plays, thereby raising the question of how much good long training grird does ball player.
 The comeback of the year will be made by Monte Pearson, the right handed pitcher sold by the New York Yankees to the Cincinnati Reds. Manager Bill McKechnie of the Reds has 6 talent for getting the best out of pitchers and Pear son seems to be free of the aches and pains-real and imaginary which plagued him for years.
 The surprise of the American league will be the St. Louis Browns, who have 8 fighting chance to get into first division after too many years spent being the door-i1lat.
 Manager Jimmy Dykes of the White Sox will take glue, two safety pins and g. roll of adhesive tape and corae up on July with a good ball club, thereby proving again that he is one of the smartest managers in the business. Give him some ma- terial and he would be a WOW.

New York, April 11.-(UP)-PaS- ing out & few prophecies and prej- ud1ces about the coming baseball season with the fervent hope that nobody will remember to check on them come September:
 The Cleveland Indians will win the American league pennant and Bob Teller will win at least 28 games. There will be 2,146,754 man hours of sleep lost in this country by people who sit up all night argu- ing whether Teller is faster than Walter Johnson. After listening to baseball experts, young and old, det- bate the question for hours your correspondent leans to the belief that Johnson was faster but that Teller will develop into the better pitcher because he has curve something Johnson never bothered with in his palmy days.
 Cincinnati will win the National league pennant, but along about the first week in August the St. Louis Cardinals will get hot and start tearing the league to pieces One of the hottest races in baseball will be between the Cardinals and the Brooklyn Dodgers for second place.

The 20th Century Theatre will continue it's new season parade of film hits so auspiciously begun with Brother Rat and Baby" and The Fighting 69th," with "Vir- ginia City" starring Errol Flynn, Miriam Hopkins and Randolph Scott. The film brings to the screen one of the most stirring chapters in the vests unwritten history
 West of Dodge City there's no law" was a byword in the old west. And west of Dodge City, there was Virginia City, a city of gold, ruled by lead. Sprung up overnight, after the discovery of the Comstock Lode and other gold and silver mines had brought thousands of prospec- tors to Nevada, Virginia City was as colorful as the gold that brought it into existence, and just as un- needing of law and order. It is this background against which Warner Bros. have set their excit- ing new film. in the stormy days at the close of the Civil War.
 Southern sympathizers in Vir- ginia City have banded together and raised some five million dol- lars which is to be smuggled out and sent to the Confederate Army. Flynn, as Union intel ligence officer, gets wind of the plan, and sets out for Virginia City with some plans of his own On the stagecoach journey, he meets Julia Miriam Hopkins), who is the new singing and dancing star at the famous Sazerac Cafe in Virginia City. This marks the beginning of hectice romance which has as many ups and downs as the terrain of Nevada.

 TEAM IN NEW
 ROACH COMEDY
"A Chump at Oxford" l. Opening Tonight at
 Capitol Theatre

One of the most side-splitting and fun-filled comedies of the year will be unreeled tonight at the Capitol Theatre when Hal Roach presents that inimitable pair of comics, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in "A Chump at Oxford. which is released under the aus- pices of United Artists.
 The new four-reeler presents sombre-faced Stan and rotund Ol- lie in a series of gay misadven- lures in England's most austere halls of learning, Oxford. The com ic team, presented as erstwhile white wings who cross the Atlan- tic to get an education, romp over the Oxford quadrangles as two undergraduates dressed in Eton jackets and schoolboy hats.
 As soon as they arrive they are singled out as the vitims of some very elaborate hazing. Asked to he Nh SStSA tO tIlC OCdll QudT UeTS, they are sent into the Maze, a complicated labyrinth of shrubbery in which they become hopelessly lost. Staggering under the weight of their luggage. the heroes wan der an entire day and encounter a most remarkable ghost. in the form of an upperclassman, when night comes.
 Especially funny and uproari- ous are the scenes wherein Laurel and Hardy are hoaxed into an in- terview with bogus dean who as- signs them to living quarters in the rooms of the real dean. Here they carry on in regal style, un- til they find themselves in a pretty kettle of fish.
 "A Chump at Oxford" is a brightly directed comedy, filled with cracking dialogue, topnotch acting and all the ingredients ci real, down -to-earth entertainment.
