Browns summed up the situation
with: Anything can happen. The
team that gets the breaks will win
the race in the American League.
The war is the important thing now.
# we don't win that we won't have
baseball. The several players we've
lost to the armed services so far have
not been drafted-they enlisted"
Optimistic is the word for Bill
McKechnie Of the Cincinnati Reds.
"The club looks better" he said.
"The new regulars-Gerry Walker,
Bert Haas and Rollie Hemsley-look
as If they have what it takes to help
us. Our pitching is tops and I am
sure our attack is going to be much
stronger"
Mel OFT, new skipper of the New
York Giants, displayed optimism for
a man whose team lost II Of 26 ex-
hibition games.
"Our pitching, which was the big
problem when we went South, has
shaped encouragingly and I'm sure
our hitting will come along as soon
as we get chance to play every
day." he said.
Brooklyn was picked to repeat in
the National League by Jimmy Will
son Of the Chicago Cubs, who added:
'The Cubs are going to be lot
stronger than last season. We're out
to win the pennant just like every
other team. I hope we'll finish
among the contenders."
Harris Looks to Fourth Spot.
Said Bucky Harris Of Washington:
'The Mats pitching is improved.
We expect Buck Newsom to help the
club lot. We're weak around sec

/. Week for Eagle Nine

Lefty Groves son, who Is reported
to bear striking resemblance to his
illustrious dad on the mound, de-

to pitch for Washington College
against American University this
afternoon when the teams launched
their Mason Dixon Conference
championship race at O'Clock on
the Eagles field.
I'VE don't know anything about
them" said Stafi Cassell, American
coach. But we've heard this Grove
has fast ball with enough hop on
it to set q high Jump record. Wash
ington Is q great baseball school,
you know. I belive it Is their best
sport and know we're in for q
tough afternoon-especially If young
Grove is as good as they say"
Norman Byer, q big highlander,
who plainly showed need Of more
work in his first start against George
Washington last week, was to start
for the Eagles, with Charley Klig-
man slated to see his first action
in q relief role II Byer faltered.
American shaped up well against
the Colonials In their debut, but was
the victim Of tricky air currents In
bowling to Georgetown. A victory
over Washington would help assuage
the pain Of those setbacks.

By the Associated Press.

FRENCH LICK, Ind, April 13.-
Gus Moreland of Peoria, ILL.,, won
the annual Midwest amateur golf
championship yesterday--his fourth
triumph in the 11-year-old tourney
Just as he was about to concede
the title to Gus Novotny Of Mem
phis, Tenn.
Moreland posted a 54-hole total
of 233, which he believed was not
good enough to enable him to retain
his title inasmuch as Novotny
needed only par on the final hole
for 232 total. But Novotny, who
had led the scoring during the first
two rounds, muffed his chance for
the title in regulation play and
forced a playoff with Moreland.
They agreed to a nine-hole playof,
but they finished In deadlock at
81 and decided to finish the match
on sudden death" basis. The end
came on the 10th hole when Novotny
again needed five strokes on par
hole, after Moreland had played
1t in par.
Moreland had a 76 on the final
18 regulation play while the South
ern star posted a 70, as against .
pair Of IT'S the two previous days.

Iobert's observations were echoed
by Casey Stengel Of the Boston
Braves, who said: '"This Is an un-

Wide World Feature Service.


LOUISVILLE, KY, April 49,
Already bulging at the seams from
the influx of war workers and Army
families, Louisville rather perplex-
edly prepares for the annual jam of
Kentucky Derby visitors May 2.
Hotels, which formerly looked for
ward eagerly to the Derby crowds
with the resultant sky-high price
boost, have been doing land ONCE
business for several months.
Rooming houses nearly all are
full. Unoccupied furnished and un-
furnished apartments are few, and
those available are expensive.
The Kentucky Derby Housing
Commission, which annually has ar
ranged for lodging at reasonable
rates for thousands of Derby visitors,
admittedly has tough job this year.
Hotel Rates Terrific.
Hotel rates range from $75 for
three nights for q double room
payable not later than April is
on down to $40 a night.
Cheaper lodging, also In q limited
quantity, Is available in rooning
houses and private homes from S
. night down.
Although Louisville has expert
enced q general rise in food and
drink prices in recent months, an
other special Derby weekend price
Jump Is NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the
usual nickel cup Of coffee for Is
cents. Derby visitors will find there
won't be any generous supply Of
sugar or paper napkins on tables for
them.
Many local persons are expressing
belief that while this years renewal
of the Derby itself promises to be
the most wide open race In recent
years, the crowd will not be as large
Break for War Workex
Heavy income taxes, tire ration
ing and crowded transportation IA
ctltties will cut down the out-of-
town visitors, they argue.
On the other hand, others point
out that thousands Of defense work.
ers who never have seen q Derby are
in town. Nearby Fort Knox has
thousands Of enlisted men and on
GERS and their, families who want to
see a Derby. Higher wages all over
the country have swelled many In
comes.
And there are those thousands OF
Kentuckians who yearly save their
pennies just to make the trip to
Louisville to say they went to the
Derby.

Hank Greenberg, Charley Gefringer
and Bruce Campbell, but our de-
fense is much improved and our
pitching should be better.
I'VE should have a chance for
third with Chicago, Cleveland and
st. Louis"
frankie Frisch of the Pittsburgh
Pirates declined to name the posi-
ton he expected his team to occupy
at the end of the chase, but said:
1--WE figure to be in the pennant
race, but we've got to get away to
a good start. Eleven of our first
IA games are with the Reds and
Cardinals. We can't afford to let
down a minute.
"Our catching is no worry, the
outfeld and infield are satisfactory
and the pitching is improved. We
have quite a bit of punch at the
plate"
Southworth Praises Cards.
In the opinion Of Billy South
worth, whose st. Louis Cardinals
are being picked to battle 1t out
with the Dodgers for the National
League flag, the 1912 Cards "are q
stronger defensive ball club and
have added speed and pitching to
an already good pitching staff.
IT am depending on strong de-
fense, good pitching and enough
power to keep us in the race" he
said.
Joe Cronin believes his Boston Red
sox are as good If not better than
last year. "The Yankees are favored,
OF course" he said. "and its up to
Boston, Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland
and st. Louis to knock them OF.
"We're In fine condition. Jimmy
Foxx is ready to 60. Johnny Pesky
looks fine at shortstop. And the
pitchers have more confidence than
at the same time last year. Yank
Terry and Oscar Judd should be a
help. but the loss of Frank Pytlak
to the Navy was q big blow"
"It'll be the Yankees again in the
American League" said Jimmy
Dykes Of Chicago's White Sox.
"Were an improved ball club, but
the best I'm hoping for Is third
place" .
Luke sewell Of the st. Louis
