Cochrane Back
With Victorious
Baseball Start
Great Lakes Manager
Yet to Approise Club;
Sees Yonk Pennunt

BY the Associated Press.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, April 2e.-
Gordon S. Mickey Cochrane, once
manager of the Detroit Tigers. is
back in baseball with his team win
ming its first game.
Cochrane, out of the game and in
business since mid-1938, now at 80
is a lieutenant in the Navy and
manager of the Great Lakes QllD
Navy Training Station nine.
His team, mingling ex-major
leaguers and former college stars,
made it's debut yesterday by licking
Indiana University, 13 to 4. Games
were scheduled today at Ohio Uni
versity, tomorrow at Miami and Fri
day at Notre Dame.
He'd Like to Have Feller.
On the Great Lakes squad are
such former big league players as
frankie Pytlak from the Boston Red
Sox, Don Padgett from the Brooklyn
Dodgers. Benny Mccoy from the
Philadelphia Athletics and Joe
Grace from the st. Louis Browns.
But If Cochrane thought he had
any inkling of what the team was
likely to do in its first season, he
wouldn't talk about it.
Its too early in the season to
judge" he said.
He said he'd like to have Bobby
Feller, Cleveland pitcher who Joined
the Navy from Norfolk, Va, but
didn't know whether he was going
to get him.
Sees Flag for Yanks.
Looking over the major league
picture, he figured the New York
Yankees had the American League
pennant in the bag and said Brook
lyn and St. Louis seemed to have
an even chance to take the National
League championship.
Cochrane, catcher at one time for
the Philadelphia Athletics and later
for Detroit while manager there,
hasn't played game since his skull
was fractured by pitched ball IN
Yankee Stadium in May, 1897.
Iron Mlke'-WhO caught more
than 100 games a year for II of his
13 years in the majors-wasn't sure
whether he could consider himself
fully recovered from that blow.
Before the game, he received for
the pitchers in batting practice, but
was non -committal when asked If he
planned to catch any this season.

when Bob Repass doubled with two
out to score Bobby Estalella, who

He preserved that margin, but
with no thanks to George Case, who
dropped Skeeter Dickeys easy fly
with one out for two-base error.
Leo Wells, who ran for Dickey, never
moved beyond second, though, as
Don Holloway flied deep to Stan
Spence and Repass threw out Luke
Appling.
Chicago, in absorbing its fifth
straight defeat to remain shackled in
the cellar, tied the score at % in
the fourth after the Mats had pro-
duced single runs in the first and
second innings. That latter run,
incidentally, was the result OF a
Repass triple and Cases single. Case
scored the first run by reaching first
on Murrell Jones error, stealing
second, taking third on a wild pitch
and romping across on Roberto
Ortiz's single.

Arcaro- Split
Confuses Dope on
Kentucky Derby
Jockey, Troiner Twice
Have Been Victorious
Performing as Duo
q. the Associated Press.


LOUISVILLE. KY. April %
There is a little Jingle you hear in
these parts around Derby time every
now and then which goes something
like this:
"Just bet Arcaro and Jones and
you won't have to pay loans"
Up to right now this has been a
tip right out Of the horses mouth,
because whenever there has been a
Kentucky Derby in which both
Jockey Eddie Arcaro and Trainer
Ben Jones figured they have been
hooked up as duet, and it was just
a case of hanging up the numbers.
There was no use running the race.
-Four years ago it was Lawrin.
Ben worked miracles on the big
horses ailing leg and Eddie pulled
magic in the saddle. And last year
Ben called in the Kentucky COOL
head only two days before the big
heat to handle Whirlaway. Without
even a formal introduction to the
whacky whizz-bang, Eddie flew him
home in the fastest Derby Of all
time.
Horse Folk Bewildered.
Now, for the first time, the hot
team is split, because of contract
circumstances, and the result is that
not only are the boys in the know
other trainers and riders who al
ways are high on this pair-some-
what bewildered. but even Ben and
Eddie are little undecided, too.
OF course, the split has no con-
nection with their hesitation. Eddie
doesn't know just whether to take
the mount on Devil Diver or Shut
Out for Mrs. Payne Whitney, for
whom he is contract rider. And
Ben hasn't quite been able to make
up his mind whether to start Sun
Again in the race, because the high
quartered husky, which was ailing
most of the winter, had to be fired
twice and hasn't been back in train
ing long enough to be sharp for the
mile and quarter.
And when you take a whirl
through the stable colony off the
back-stretch to find out how the
boys feel about the run for the
roses, you get nothing but flgurative
head-scratching all over the place
Ben and Eddie Pals.
A trainer will say, IF it's close
you gotta stick with Arcaro.'
Then he'll switch to, But if Ben's
in there, he's the one to watch
That's how they feel on the inside
