Crosby Continues To Prove
 Class Of Valley League

Though it was not able to win @ single game of eight or more played last season, Crosby's high school basketball combination, coached by J. Oliver Patrick Manherz, is today in the pleasant position of leader atop the Naugatuck Valley League, having won both games played to date by such convinced margins that the club looms as having val- ley championship possibilities even at this early date.
 Yesterday, Crosby followed up it's 15 to 6 victory at Ansonia in its seasonal diamond debut, with a nifty to ? win over Torrington at the Municipal Stadium, the losers being, held to eight hits by Jumbo Shembriskas, 220 pound footballer who seems to have the makings of heavyweight baseball pitcher also Freddy F1tzsimmons. Torrington got run in the first inning, but Crosby had a 3-1 lead before the second canta, Kohrin's home run with two on by walks, scoring the trio of markers which, as the game turned out was enough to win 1t then and there as Torrington scored but once more a single run in the sixth. Crosby's 13 hit attack was led by Joe Cavanaugh, Jr., who got 8 for 5" while Smith, Kobrin, Kelly and Slugger Shembriskas got two apiece. A five run splurge in the seventh as Cavanaugh, Shembriskas and Kobrin hit time ly to put the game on ice. Johnny OCain, starting Torrington pitcher was followed by Palker. Cavanaugh was robbed of a three bagger when he failed to touch first base in his anxiety to get around the sacks in the second innings. Score:

Sewell Isn't Jumping Out of Windows Vet; Cehringer Talking After IS Years in Game; He'd Have
 Been Fair Player With Pepper
BY HARRY GRAYsON (NEA Service Sports Editor)


 New York-James Luther Sewell is asked how 1t feels to be manager of the St. Louis Browns.
 "Well," replies the Old Alabama athlete, there am on the 40th floor of this New York hotel with oil the windows open. And I haven't jumped yet"
 Whats the feature of the early going9 It Is obvious that Luke Sewell doesn't care to discuss the Little Brownies, who had dropped nine straight as they launched their first eastern swing in Yankee Stadium.
 That's easy," says the great catcher. ''It's Charley Gehringer coaching at first base for Detroit. 0ehringer is talking. It's the first time he has talked on e ball field since he broke in lS years ago.
 You can hear him--about 20 feet -eSging the Tigers on. Come on, get on. Get q hit" he fairly whispers.
 T told him that if he'd had that much pep IS years ago he'd have been e fair sort of ball player"
 Sewell tells the story of Gehring. CT going to Japan with Connie Mack's All-Stars some winters back The Fowlerville Forum said Hello" boarding the boat and Goodbye" when the long journey was cona- pleted. Not another peep out Of the original strong, silent man.
 Eewell relates how, when on Q transforming trip, 0ehringer met . friend in Winnipeg who offered Co fly the catcher and himself to Fargo. N. D. Arriving at the air. port, the players saw on old. r!ckety crate, the wingspread of which was hardly as wide as their outstretched arms.
 As they took of and wobbled around for Q brief spell, Sewell con- fesses he was scared to death. Gehr- iTlSer remarked that it was his first flight. "Tg this all there Is to fly ing2" he wanted to know. Assured it was, he settled back in his chair and drawled: Wake me up when we get to Fargo"
 That is one of the principal req. sons why Charley 0ehringer was such a great ball player.
 With him, it was either you do or you dent.

CLEVELAND COPS
 NINE STRAIGHT; DODGERS 3 UP
Brooklyn Club Without Walker, GaIan; Ancient
 Auker Stops Yanks
By OSCAR FRALEY

United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, April 29.-(UP)-It's only the beginning, as the side-shoW barkers say, but the come-on men couldn't point to Q greater oddity today than major league baseballs wartime standings.
 Brooklyn's daily Dodgers, who many expected to come apart at the seams after @ soaring stretch sprint which gave them the National league pennant, are out in front by three flil games. And Dem Buns" show no evidence of faltering to provide an expected close race.
 Meanwhile, the New York Yan- kees-counted on to waltz away from the opposition at the gun and win the American league banner in the proverbial walk-are down in second place.
 Walker, Galan Out
 As the first intersectional games opened yesterday, with eastern Na- tional league clubs in the west and the western American leaguers touring the east, the Dodgers con- tinued merrily on their way with 7-S win over Cincinnati. Although playing without two of its stars, Dixie Walker and Augie Galan, Brooklyn had little trouble with the Reds-one of the preseason pen- nant favorites.
 Whit Wyatt lasted only one in- ming In which the Reds scored three unearned runs but Hugh Casey came back to stem the Cincinnati attack as his mates knocked Elmer Riddle out of the box. Dolph Camilli, recovered from a cold, blasted two-run homer in the first.
 The Tanks meanwhile dropped one game below Clveland by losing, 3-l, to the St. Louis Browns as the Indians scored their ninth straight triumph with 6-4 decision over the Philadelphia Athletics.
 The world champions tumbled after holding a one run lead be- hind the mound work of veteran Charley Rufnng.
 The Boston Red Sox took @ flrmer grip on fourth place, two games off Cleveland's pace, by stopping De- troit, 6-l. The defeat kept the Tigers one-half game below the Yankees, when victory would have showed the champs down into third place. Jimmy Foxx hit his second homer of the season in the Boston victory,
 Second for BObO
 Washington remained at the top of the second division as Buck New som scored his second win by set- ting back the last place Chicago White Sox, 4-3.
 Pittsburgh remained three games back of the Dodgers in the National league battle with a 7-l triumph over the hapleSS PhilS.
 Tommy Holmes and Bill Nichol- son homered in the Boston Braves 6.S conquest of the Chicago Cubs while Bill Lee suffered his first de- feat in three starts. Lou Tost was the Boston victor although he had to be rescued by Dick Erickson in the seventh.
 Johnny Hopp's 10th inning double allowed the St. Louis Cards to turn back the Giants, 5-4. The Giants had tied up the game in the sev- enth.

than the .2s2 posted at Chicago last year.
 SIEBERT RATES HIGH AS FIRST EASTMAN
 "Of course, Dick siebert, who finished among the first five hitters last year with .3S4, is just about as good a first baseman as you'll find. And Frankie Hayes leaves us no catching worries.
 "But my pitching has been ter- rible. Phil Marchildon, Herman Besse, my only left-hander, Roger Wolff, Luman Harris and Jack Knott are my starters, but they haven't shown much yet.
 Russ Christopher, who won i6 and lost seven at Newark last year, is going to be good pitcher some day. But he got of to bad start with us.
 If we get some pitching, we may surprise lot of folks"
 Mr. Mack says that quite de- liberately and a little remotely too.
 Grove, Earnshaw, walberg, Rommel, Ehmke 1t was only dozen years ago, But that's familiar story.

NO NEED TO SUSPEND OR CuRTAIL BASEBALL

The years have fallen lightly on Connie Mack'S shoulders. This is his 60th season in professional baseball, his 42nd in Philadelphia. His lean, six-foot one-inch frame is sttll amrod-straight. His eyes are bright, he has ready smile and his heart beats baseball.
 Much has been said anent the national pastime and the war. Mack thinks talk of baseball lsus- pending or curtailing is poppy cock.
 Certainly I think baseball will finish the season." he says em- phatically. T think it will con- tinue in Q highly satisfactory way.
 People want baseball today. They ought to have 1t. We're try- ing to boost morale, not depress it..
 T believe baseball has done @ good war Job. Night games should be encouraged for the benefit of defense workers. The ball and bat fund, the extra all-star game, free admittance for service men |. those ere steps in the right die rection.
 "Weu do everything that's asked Of us and more."
