Reds Call Upton
Problem Solver
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, May For five
years the Cincinnati Reds have
been pouring money-from $780,
900 to $500,000, according to who
may be believed-into left field,
but they think they've found the
plug for the rathole at last.
He is young Eric Upton. Un-
like half his predecessors. Eric
can field acceptably. Unlike the
other half, he can hit. At least
he's hitting .359 so far.
Whatever his luck, the Reds
are certain of keeping him.
Uncle Sam already has turned
him down. thrice for the Navy
and once for the Army. because
of a perforated ear drum and
color blindness.
While he has had three brief
tries with the Philadelphia Ath-
letics since 1899, Upton is up for
his first real test.

Mats Are Hoping
To Find Punch
Lights
More Needed Against
Bosox Than Revealed
In Loss to Mucks

More than a little light will be
thrown on the Mats tonight at Grif-
fifth Stadium at a time when Man.
ager Ossie Bluege is beginning to
suspect his teams power may be
represented by its elegant electrical
system. The Mats will tangle with
the Boston Red Sox at $50 o'clock
and Bluege is. hoping the illumina-
ton will be bright enough to show
Washington a path out of its recent
slump.
Defeated in four of its last six
games, Washington will rely on
Early Wynn to register his first vic
tory of the season at the expense
of the seventh-place Red Sox, who
will enter the engagement with a
string of four losses to the Yankees
by a margin of one run.
More than 10000 customers-the
Mats third large home crowd of the
still infant campaign-are expected
to attend Washington 1943 night
inaugural, first in a series of 81 noe
turnal games to be played at Grif-
fifth Stadium this season.
Bosox Much Revised.
A Chicago triumph over Detroit
today would set the stage for the
Mats to inherit third place by
humping Boston, which thus would
be deposited in the American League
basement. The Red Sox, Who have
won only of IA games, will dis
patch Yank Terry to the mound and
he also will be seeking his first win.
Minus such familiar figures as Ted
Williams, Dominic Di Maggie. John
ny Pesky and Lou Finney, the Red
Sox are employing 40-year-old AL
Simmons as their left fielder on a
team that probably will qualify as
the worst ever to be handled by
Manager Joe Cronin.
Washington is hoping to use the
Red SoX as stepping stone to a
ioAIASi lSfCA bC1ol CliDdl hlllS OIl lJS
first Western trip. The Mats will
tangle with the Red Sox in a single
game tomorrow, then battle them in
a doubleheader on Sunday before
deserting the village for two weeks.
Against the Red Sox, too, the Mats
will be trying to display overdue
power. A TO victim of Roger VOLTS
knuckle ball yesterday at Philadel-
phia, the Mats collected 10 hits but
none when Mr.. VOLTS shutout was
jeopardized by men on base.
Mats Show No Punch.
In little Ellis Clary the Mats will
present their only regular batting
over $50. Clary is hitting 1888 and
the nearest approach to that figure
among the Mats is George Cases
$50, with Stan Spence, Bob johnson
and Mickey Vernon shackled in the
.230 class.
Clary and Jake Early each OBJ
tanned two hits against Wolff, but
the Mats never made contest of it
as the Athletics produced two runs
in the first inning and two more in
the second off Ewald Pyle, who alb
sorbed his second defeat.
Pyle was sabotaged by the Mats
inept infield play, but it made little
difference, for Wolff was permitting
no liberties and the AS slammed

War Plant Jobs
May Tune Pro
Grid Squads
Packers Are Making
Such Plans, Others
Considering Move
BY the Associated Press,


GREEN BAY, Wis. May III
you want to be a fullback on the
Green Bay Packer football team this
fall you may have to learn how to
back up a rivet as we'll as you can
back up a line.
Training on turret or engine
lathe in war plant or with a rivet-
ing gang at the nearby Sturgeon
Bay shipyard may take the place of
routine calisthenics for the Packer
gridders this fall, according to E. L.
(Curly) Lambeau, coach of the
Green Bay. team of the National
League.
IF the War Manpower Commits
sion believes pro football players
should work on war jobs, we see no
reason why they can't do so and
play football, too," Lambeau said.
They could start work on an
early shift and be through in time
to get in daily drills. If need be they
could practice at night. In the old
days of pro football most of the
players worked at other jobs and
played football on Sunday. There's
no reason why the present crop of
players can't do the same thing to
keep the game alive"
Coach Lambeau said Elmer Lay
den, commissioner of the National
League, had expressed approval of
such program. Other National
League club owners also are con-
sidering it, he ADDED, and all are
ready to do what the Government
wants them to do.
The Packer coach has contacted
officials of several Green Bay war
plants and shipyards at Sturgeon
Bay and all are willing to put on
players on shifts that quit work
about pm, he said.
The Packers will play only two
or three games out of the State this
year, Lambeau said, so little time
would be lost from war Jobs by
travelling,

Sentiment Gets
Colt
Some Backing
Portido Now Appears
As Fourth Starter in
PimIico Classic
BY DONALD SANDERS.
Associated Press Sports Write.


BALTIMORE, May THE knock
down the champ" club, looking
around for colt which might stand
chance against Count Fleet in
the SD running of the Preakness,
had just about settled on Vincentive
today.
Sentiment played a strong part in
the swing to the sturdy Maryland
bred son of Challenger II, but the
fact that Blue Swords had had five
shots at Mrs. John D. Hertz's brown
hurricane without success was an
other factor
Vincentive has won only races in
10 starts, but he was impressive
in his last two efforts, winning
against second-rate colts. Conse-
quently, it appeared that w. L.
Brann's color bearer might 20 to the
post tomorrow the second choice, de-
spite the fact that Blue Swords
never has allowed anything to come
between him and Count Fleet.
Partido May Start.
Besides, Marylanders still hadn't
forgotten that the only non-favorite
to win the $50,000 added second leg
OF the triple crown in it's last nine
renewals was Brann's Challedon, like
Vincentive a son of Challenger II,
Up until the deadline, the number
OF starters in the run for the black
eyed susans remained in doubt.
Robert Lee Hall, jr., of Upper
Marlboro, Md, said he would send
Partido, colt which he claimed
this week for $500, after fourth
money If he could obtain permission
OF the nominator, r. j. Kleberg's
King Ranch.
Fourth money is worth $4,000. and
if only the Hertz hurricane, Allen T.
Simmons Blue Swords and Vim
centive go to the post, that sum
will stay in the Maryland Jockey
Club till.
Count Fleet remained an almost
unpettable choice and it appeared
he would close at IA or is, the
shortest-priced favorite since the
advent of the mutuels at Pimlico.
Victory for the Count would net
him S43,190 and would run his
earnings for 10 races to s202 ,260,
which is more money than Whirl-
away had won through the Freak
ness. Warren Wrights top money
winner of all time had amassed only
$l94,69l through the Preakness, his
25th race.
$4,000 Crowd Expected.
Maryland Jockey Club officials
predicted that the crowd would ap-
proach $4,000, which would jam the
old Hilltop layout but still would
be we'll below the $4,000 which wit
messed the last two renewals.
Although patrons have had to rely
largely upon streetcar transporta-
ton, attendance at the current Pim-
llco meeting has been running we'll
ahead of last year.
Count Fleet, Blue Swords and
Vincentive all received their final
tune-ups today, Johnny Longden
being scheduled to give the favorite
short breeze.

George Case uses different type
of start. He likes to be on the move
when he breaks for a steal, so he
walks out from first base, figuring
to be under way with the pitch.
Consequently every pitcher in the
league has orders to wait until Case
stops walking before the pitch to the
batter is made, but he steals any
way.
Case ranks with any base runner
who ever lived. He's learned lot
about it-when to run, how to slide
and what sort of liberties he can
take with the pitchers. Certainly
he's as fast as anybody I've ever
seen and he annoys those pitchers.
When Case is on base batters get a
tremendous break.
''I suppose Washington has had
more outstanding base runners than
any other team. Case has led the
league four straight years. Sam
Rice stole 81 bases to lead the league
one year, Ben Chapman was an
other league leader with us and I
was on top twice.
Burt Shotton Was Fastest
Rice must have been thrown out
20 times the year before he stole
those 81 bases. He was slowing up
to slide and it was fatal. He made
better slider out of himself,
though, by eliminating that hesi-
fancy and then he was tough.
Il guess Burt Shotton was the
fastest man of my time getting down
to first base A couple of race-horse
clockers timed all of the fast men
in both leagues over a long stretch
and told me I was the fastest, but
couldn't believe them. Shotton was
running as he swung, so he got a
better jump away from the plate
than I did.
"Shotton would have been a much
better stealer if he could have got
ten a bigger lead off the bases. He
had more speed than Cobb or my
self, but. as I was saying, base
stealing depends on the start and
finish"
