Flying Start in
Title Struggle
FIomingo Stake Victor
Rated Derby Material
By Jockey Arcoro
BY JOHN WILDS,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


MIAMI, Fla, March 2.-Ben F.
Whitaker's Requested, beaten out of
the 1941 juvenile championship by
Alsab's meteoric performance, had
flying start today toward top g.
year-old honors.
The chestnut colt found himself
again Saturday, and outclassed IS
of the fleetest 3-year-olds in Florida
to win the Flamingo Stakes-a vic
tory worth $28,15O.
Almost left at the post, Re
quested showed the kind of speed
and heart that make Kentucky
Derby Winners-and earned the
praise of Jockey Eddie Arcaro.
Pronounced Derby Material.
Hes definitely Derby material"
the veteran rider declared after
plotting Requested to a four length
edge over the longshot Redthorn in
the feature race, and nine-length
revenge over Alsab, the show horse.
Included among his victims were
two previous 3-year-old stake win
ners at Hialeah Park, American
Wolf and Bright Willie. Bright
Willie, like Requested, had to break
from outside of the starting gate
because of the overflow field and
was left f1atfooted in ragged start
that brought boos from the crowd
of 26 6,571-Hialeab' second largest.
American Wolf had no excuese.
The victory came as a surprise
worth $1310 for 50 to those who
backed him-because Requested had
finished dead last in his first ap-
pearance this season, and second
in his only other outing.
Wood Memorial Next.
Whitaker said the colt would not
run again until he goes to post in
the Wood Memorial at Jamaica.
Requested won seven stakes as
2-year-old, and was considered the
pick of the crop early in the sum-
mer. Then Alsab came along to
beat him in special $4,000 match
race at Belmont and again in the
Champagne Stakes, and the Whit
aker horse was forgotten in the rush
to the wonder thoroughbred.
Owner AL SABBATH said he was
much encouraged by Alsab's show
ing Saturday even though the horse
absorbed his third licking of the
winter.

ORLANDO, Fla, March 2.-One
of the unsolved items in connection
with a Washington baseball team
that possesses more question marks
than a print shop is Second Base
man Frank Croucher, who has
played only three games at second
base in three years of major league
campaigning.
One reason Croucher Is inheriting
the second base job is because he
has no competition-unless 17-year-
old Eddie Lyons, .270 hitter up
from Charlotte of the Piedmont
League-may be adjudged as such.
Another reason, perhaps born OF
necessity, is the fact manager
Bucky Harris believes he will do all
right at the position.
Croucher, a fine fielder, will add
no color to the Mats infleld. He is an
industrious sort of performer but if

Durocher's boys-that and the fact
they won the National League
championship last year and feel that
they should wear their laurelS with
a certain dignity. AT any rate, they
bear but slight resemblance to the
rowdy crew that invested, or in
tested, the tropics year ago.
"We're slowly going to sleep
around here,' complained one vet
eran Dodger newspaper correspond
ent. why, it's safe for us fellows
to go to bed by midnight.
Last year our best stories never
broke until long after that. But
maybe things will pick up a little
now that Larry MacPhail is here"
President MacPhail, himself, ap-
pears to have been slightly bitten
by the new order. He is talking
and dressing somewhat more quietly
than usual and twice within five
minutes this reporter heard him
agree with Durocher about the
merits of one of their players.
Everything is fine" said Mac
Phail as he baSked in the warm sun.
Every man of our roster is signed
except Whit Wyatt. I had to fine
Kirby Higbe $3.50 for the seven days
he missed practice, but he's all
Strengthened out now"
Durocher expressed similar con-
tentment and even the peppery
Coach Charley Dresser looked a
little broader across the middle.
Since their acquisition of Arky
Vaughan to play third and the pur-
chase of good extra outflelder in
Don Padgett the Dodgers have no
major worries-except the draft, and
they all have that.
About Padgett: They wish Uncle
Sam would make up his mind soon.
Evening star., 1942-03-02

If Don, who is top-fight draft ma
terial, is ordered to report before
the season begins, then Brooklyn
doesn't owe the Cardinals a cent
for him. But If he plays a league
game and then is called up he will
be one of Brooklyn's frozen assets.
If the draft doesn't intervene to
take either Centerfelder Pete Reiser
or Shortstop Pee Wee Reese, the
only new face in the Dodger lineup
on opening day will be Vaughan at
the hot corner. And from batting
standpoint, at least, he figures to be
an improvement on the former Gus
todian, Cookie Lavagetto, who joined
the air force. Durocher thinks he
might even have a little better pitch
ing staff than the one that strong
armed the senior league into sub
mission last season.
"I wouldn't say we have anything
phenomenal among our rookie pitch
ers," he explained, "but who does
these days? We have three very
good-lookers, though, in Chet Kehn
and Ed Head from Montreal and
Bob Chipman from Atlanta"

he doesn't know which. Max
West of the Braves had just
grounded out and advanced a
runner to third base: The first
baseman threw the ball home and
the catcher let it get away just
far enough so that the runner
made a break. West, heading for
the bench, absently picked up the
ball and tossed 1t to the catcher,
who made a putout. While every
body, including Casey Stengel,
still was speechless, Paul Waner
administered perfect rebuke by
fouling one of so the ball caught
Max on the back Of the neck.

slumber he isn't likely to be the
fellow that will wake them up. His
thinning blond hair bellies his 27
years and there are other deceptive
factors about him that may have
prompted Washington bosses to OBJ
tain him with Outfielder Bruce
Campbell in a deal that sent In
fielder Jimmy Bloodworth and Out
fielder Doc Cramer to Detroit.
He was rated one of the most
promising players in the major
leagues when Detroit imported him
from Toledo in 1888, but early that
season Frank fractured an ankle in
a slide at second base and he never
has recovered that early form.
May Regain Rookie Form.
Probably on the hunch he will
regain the batting touch that
stamped him a coming player as a
rookie did the Mats trade for him.
He was a rather dangerous batter in
the minors - hitting BAT with
Springfield of the Three-Eye League
in 1885 and .321 with Beaumont of
the Texas League the following
year-but he has been feeble
specimen with a bat in his hands
in the big show.
When Croucher batted .254 with
the Tigers last season he merely was
improving his 1910 average by 149
points, for he was a los hitter that
year. He swatted only 1863 in 1889
after returning to duty following
that broken ankle.
1t was in 1910, incidentally, that
Croucher last played second base.
He played three games there that
season and that constitutes his
major league experience at the posi-
ton. He is no complete stranger
to second base, however, for it was
there that he played three years IN
the minors. When he was graduated
to the Tigers a pretty fair second
baseman, Charley Gehringer, was
handling the assignment rather
neatly.
Croucher launched his baseball
career as a Junior American Legion
player at Houston. His team played
Saturdays and Sundays and he at
tracted enough attention to snare a
job with Alexandria of the Evange-
line League at 10. He moved up
steadily until that broken ankle in
terrupted his career, and he hasn't
been the same since.
Madie Nav Make Grade.
Mickey Vernon, Croucher, Lyons
and the pea-green first baseman,
Curtis Balentine, were the only in
fielders to toll with the squad yes
terday. Stan Gale and Bob Repass
were due to arrive today, while Ossie
Bluege will be delayed until Wednes-
day. Outfelder Stan Spence also
participated in the workout and
Bruce Campbell was expected to
bolster the outfielding corps today.
Prexy Clark Grifith is indicating
little Theodore Madjeski, product
of the Florida State League, may be
retained as the Mats third catcher.
Madjeski Is no impressive batting
figure, but Griff relishes his spry
action.
The most heartening development
in drills thus far is the ability of
Walter MasterSon to whisk his
pitches over the plate. The normally
wild right-hander, who is Is pounds
sturdier this year, was cutting EN-
loose yesterday and gratified his
bosses with his display Of control.
Meanwhile, Inflelder Pofahl has
arrived here to discuss terms with
Griff, whose latest word from Third
Baseman Bobby Estalella was that
he was having difficulty obtaining
plane passage from Cuba.
