Wildly FL Winner
Over Naugatuck;
Nacunas Gives 2 Hits

Wildly high schools baseball Wild
cats were long time winning their
first game of the season, but when
victory did come it was sweet one,
in the form of 2-1 decision over
Naugatuck; gained on the strength
of two-hit pitching by Johnny Ma
cunas Saturday afternoon at the
Municipal Stadium. A seven in
ming game was agreed upon, with
Schiller and Nacunas as the oppos-
ing pitchers The latter was in
rare form, his team backed him up,
while a poor throw of an easy
grounder, Ryan to Mass, for a force
out at the plate, let in the second
Wildly run and the one that eventu-
ally won the ball game.
Schillers only walk of the game
to Wilby's Galente was vital as the
latter scored after stealing second
and was singled home by Ciccio.
Nacunas continued to pitch excellent
ball and no less than six times
in seven innings, set down Manga
tuck in one-two-three fashion. The

SLIDE RULE, 3RD
IN DERBY, MAY
NOT TRY AGAIN
Famous Preakness at Pim=
leo Saturday; Counts"
Owner Seeks Triple Gro
BY TOMMY DEVINE
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

UNITED Press StaH Correspondent
Louisville, May 8 --CUP)- Count
Fleet, current ruler of the three
year-old division after his impressive
three length victory in the Goth re-
newal Of the Kentucky Derby, and
his persistent challenger, Blue
Swords, who took second place
money in the blue ribbon stake, were
travelling companions today en- route
to Baltimore for the Preakness next
Saturday.
1t was the fourth time that Blue
Swords finished runner-up to Count
Fleet. AS preparations were being
made to ship the colts yesterday,
Don Cameron, trainer of Count
Fleet, and Walter Kelly, the condi-
toner of Blue Swords, were rib
bling" each other.
You better treat me right Cam
eron," Kelly said, "or I won't ship
my horse and then you'd be in
tough spot because you wouldn't
have anybody to stay up close and
make the count rum
Jaw Kelly, don't leave" Cameron
replied, Il don't want any walk
overs"
Behind the testing there was a
world of truth for Count Fleet by
his triumphs in the Wood Memorial
and the Derby has scared off the
bulk of his three-year- rivals.
From the Derby field, only Count
Fleet and Blue Swords are certain
Preakness starters. Slide Rule was
shipped east today, but Trainer
Cecil Wilhelm has not decided yet
whether the w. E. Boeing color
bearer will go in the Preakness.
Only Starters?
Only two eastern representatives
who failed to come here for the
Derby are considered probable
Preakness starters. They are the
Belair Studs Bossuet and w. l..
Brann's incentive. Thus the field
for the rich Pimlico event appears
to be five starters.
When Ocean Wave, the Calumet
Farms top three year old who was
declared out of the Derby three hours
before post time because of an in
jured leg, and John Marsch'S Occu-
patton, one of the outstanding two
years old of 1912 but inactive at
three because OF an ailment, are
able to return to the races there
may be some stern opposition for
Count Fleet. .
Count Fleets immediate objective
is the elusive triple crown of the
Derby, the Preakness and the Bel
mont Stakes. Only five horses in
history have accomplished the feat,
but the Count is good bet to join
the group composed of Sir Barton
(191O, Gallant Fox 1890, Omaha
Q935), War Admiral Q93D and
WhirlaWay G94D.
BY his Derby effort Count Fleet
added $60,725 to his earnings and
boosted the aggregate for his brief
career to $159,07O.

BRAVES RAINED OUT
IN FIRST VISIT TO
YANKEE STADIUM

New York - When the Boston
Braves dropped in for an exhibition
game, it marked their first visit to
Yankee Stadium since the arena
was opened in 1923. And then it
rained. The Yankees have been in
no fewer than IL World Series in
20 years, but the Braves haven't
been in any of them, and there was
no occasion for their playing at the
stadium when the clubs trained in
the south.

Baseball "Old Mans
Game" Says Connie

Boston, May 3. (UP)-Baseball,
says Manager Connie Mack of the
Philadelphia Athletics, is rapidly
becoming an old mans game.
Speaking last night at father
and sons banquet here, Mack pre-
dicted that baseball would com
plete its 1943 season despite the
war but that the players probably
would have to be married men with
children.
Single players and those who
are married but childless will play
as long as possible said Mack.
After the married men with chill
dren will have to take over. But it
seems to me that baseball will finish
the year"

New York, May 3. - (UP)-The

Schoolboy Rowe hit a homer with

heart to f1utter like one of the but

Representative Stefan, Repub-

yesterday hopes OF farmers to pro-
tect their home markets have been
shattered by a statement of Vice
President Wallace that the synthetic
rubber program would be elimini-
mated after the war"
In. that statement" Mr.. Stefan
said. ''Mr. Wallace indicated that a
program OF new uses for American
products was not the policy of the
American Government, and that the
market for synthetic or
substitute materials would be turned
over to those countries where the
natural materials are produced.
Il greatly fear future events will
bring a bitter disappointment to the
American farmers. who in past years
have been encouraged to believe the
protective tariff has given them real
protection and who have believed
the American agricultural market
belongs first to them"
Il am reliably informed by ex-
perts who are now testing our first
output Of synthetic rubber" he went
on, that, with more experience,
mass production, chemical re-
search, especially if farm products
are used, we will eventually be able
to produce synthetic rubber at g.
cost close to that of natural raw
