PhiIs Lose To Quaker City Cop
By Sam Davis

Philadelphia, May 26 - (U.PO - Three Phillies players wound up in a Philadelphia jail last night after an auto accident that developed in- to an argument between the players and policeman.
 According to Patrolman Harry Fryman it all started when Right Fielder Ron Northey's car collided with a car driven by Isadore Light, 5l, of Lebanon avenue.
 Fryman said Northey, Left Fielder Jimmy Wasdell and Third Baseman Charlie Letchas cut loose with some language they must have picked up at a training camp"
 Wasdell and Letchas were booked as drunk and disorderly. Northey, who is slated to take his draft phy- sical today, was charged with as- sault and battery by automobile and disorderly conduct. They were re- leased after two hours for arraign- ment before Magistrate Joseph Mo- Dewitt later today

Torrington, May 26. Nothing less than some sort of a sports Hnir- acle is expected to prevent Tor rington High from moving in on another championship - this time the 1o44 baseball honors of the Nau- gatuck Valley League. Whats more, after edging Crosby of Waterbury 4 to 3 yesterday, Connie Donahue's lads may do 1t the hard way without Q defeat to mark their sea- sonal campaign. All that is needed now is win over Gilbert of Win sted Saturday, and, off the form of the two teams and their records to date, 1t seems like a 24 karat, lead- pipe "cirlch" for the New City corn- bine, even if Carmine Mele, Torring- tons hard-hitting, low-hit pitcher, is not in the game.
 Mele, continuing in his good form let Crosby down with four hits yes- terday, while he and his mates got six off Jackie Neuman. On top of that Crosby scored in but one in- ming, and was held scoreless until the seventh; when 1t got all three runs, Torrington having a 4-C edge up to that time. Russo, Torrington outflelder, hit a triple, off Neuman, while Mele got two of the six hits allowed. Score:

New Orleans Boys. Giving PeIieons Wing, Are Exceptions; Player, Like Prophet, Is UsuoIIy Without Honor in His Home Town

popular hometown battery for years.
 New Orleans has sent a full share of players to the majors. Mel Ott was a l6-year old catcher when John McGraw took him out of a New Orleans high school. Carl Lind. who helped establish a dou- ble play record as an Indian, regis tered from New Orleans. Sgt. Zeke Bonura. who has done such a grand job in North Africa, came out of the Crescent City. So did Connie Ryan of the Braves. Lou Klein, who helped the Cardinals to last years National league flag, is from down wonder. So are Howie Pollet and his right-handed successor with the Red Birds. Al Jurisich-and so down the line.
 At the moment the line of scouts forms at the right trying to sign Dick Callahan, a lanky right-hand- CT who strikes out practically every body and who duplicated Johnny VanderMeer's double no-hit, mo- run feat in prep ranks.
 Ball players mature quickly in the bayou country, it seems, which to some extent could account for the story of the New Orleans club, made extraordinary by the fact that the ball players like the prophet, usual- ly is without honor in his old home town.

Horses Hote Some Jocks; Love Others

Eddie Arcaro believes horse and rider must be team. He says, T can work we'll with certain horses, but not much with others. I can't explain it, but other jockeys can do much better with some horses than I can" Tn saying that. the great little rider wa sgiving a modern ver- sion to long standing belief of rac- ing.
 Ben Jones, the Calumet trainer, has every faith in Conn McCreary on Pensive, but is quick to say that Sun Again and Freddy Smith make a perfect team. There is such a thing as horses for courses" Jones will tell you. land equally important is selecting the jockey suited to each individual horse"
 Racing annals are replete with famous morse and jockey" com- binations. Isaac Murphy was the perfect rider for Salvador, and, while Earl Sande, the only other
 jockey to win three renewals of the Kentucky Derby, was uni- formly good on most horses, the
 team of "The Handy Guy and
 Gallant Fox make bright page
 of racing history. Then there is Johnny Longden and Count Fleet and in England. Steve Donaghue and Brown Jack.
 Horses grow to hate some jock eys and become attached to others. The Derby winner, Coronach, would prick his ears when he heard the voice of Joe Childs. Lord Londsdale claims that Cor don Richards had 8 "mesmeric influence over animals that he conveys from himself to them"
 An outstanding example of a horses hatred for one man and his affection for another concerns the erractic Diamond Jubilee. winner of the Epson Derby for King Edward VIII, when he was Prince of Wales, Diamond Jubilee grew to hate "Morny' Cannon, one of the best English jockeys of his day. They had to blindfold the horse until Cannon was in the saddle. The trainer switched from Cannon to Watts, but the wild behavior of the horse continued.
 Meanwhile, it was noted that a godo-looking and kindly exercise boy was able to do almost anything with this horse. After some hesita- ton. the trainer decided to give the boy a chance and that resulted in Herbert Jones and Diamond Jubilee becoming one of the best known teams in English annals, for Jones rode the horse to win the coveted Triple Crown. King Edward was SC delighted he made the exercise boy first string rider in royal colors.

Though Watertown's Bob Hassel ran away with the 100 and 220 yard events, the overall "class" of the Crosby track and field team was much too much for Watertown high yesterday afternoon.

RING SKILL IS RATED ABOVE
 BAKSPS WEIGHT
By JACK CUDDY

 United Press Stan C0rrespondent) New York May 2e.--(UP)--xeo savold, New Jerseys veteran heavy- weight "Blond Tiger" is e 7-5 fa- vorite to trounce young Joe Baknf again tonight in their return bout at Madison Square Garden, where boxinh resumes after lapse of the seven weeks of the circus.
 The circus and its elephants moved out, making way for big fel- lows among the leather-tossers who should prevent any quick shrlnknge of the Gardens girders.
 Blond Savold of the GrecIan pro- file is slated for 12 rounds with big, numbering, brown-haired Baksi from the coal mines of Kulpmont, Pa. Savold won close i0-rourd decision over Baksi at the Garden. March 10, when Baksi tired in the later going. Because Baksi faded in 10 heats, larruping Lee is fa- vored tonight over the longer l2- round distance because of his ape parently greater stamina.
 AIibi
 But Baksi, who is % is six years younger than Savold, claims that his surprise defeat by Lee in March was due entirely to lack of condi- tion. He says he took the Savoid bout on short notice. interrupting his honeymoon with his bride, Anne. Also, his abbreviated training period was broken up by his mothers file ness. He had no time to round into shape; so he tired for the first time in his career.
 Many experts agree with Baksi: they are convinced that he will rebound tonight in fine shape, and win out with his heavier punch. his youth, his ruggedness and weight advantage of about 10 pounds. He is expected to scale about POS. 10 more than Lee.
 However, Savold is favored in the smart betting because of his pre- vious victory, because of his sppar- ently superior stamina, and because of his superb boxing skill and sharp hitting.
 A crowd of 15,oo0 and a gate of $60,000 are expected.

New York. May. 25.-A record which no other club in organized baseball can boast is claimed by the New Orleans Pelicans. Manager Fresco Thompson has seven home town boys on his roster, which makes his club truly representa- tive one. Left-handed Jesse Danna and Fats Dantonio form a home grown battery, are the only hold over from the l943 array. It is pos sible to field an infield composed entirely of New Orleans products.
 All the native players are not of Southern Association caliber as measured by pre-war standards. but Danna won 22 games while losing 2 last trip to lead the leagues pitch CTS. And Outfielder Bull Shep- hard has been swinging a vicious bat. Danna was shunted from one club to another without making any headway until signed by New Or leans. There sympathetic addicts helped him find himself,
 New Orleans fans like the home- town flavor, turn out to cheer the home-bred combatants. Players the customers know personally have greater appeal than strangers. The current squad is the most popular ever to wear the crescent.
 New Orleans has one of the fin. est high school circuits in the land. Its American Legion juniof series annually draws more teams than are attracted in any other city of the same size.
 Larry Gilbert, who broke 2l- year tenure with the Pelicans in 1889, realized this trend when he went to New Orleans in 1917.
 Manager Gilbert started the year. in and year-out appearance of New orleans talent on the local club Since 1917 6 total of 34 homelings have worn Pelican flannel, At times there were two on the club, some. times three and once there were four. but this seasons number Is the all-time high.

HOME CAMESNO HELP TO THE
 DETROT.TICERS
BY GLEN PERKINS United Press sStaff Correspondent


 New York, May 2e. (UP)-The Detroit Tigers, who play their home games in spacious Briggs Stadium, generally regarded as one of the best baseball layouts in the major leagues, would be just as well pleased today if the remainder of their schedule called for all road games.
 Playing at home usually has been regarded as a slight edge for ball club-but not with sthe Tigers as far as this season is concerned They have played 12 games at home and have lost ii. Only because of their strong showing on the road, where they have played .667 ball, have the Tigers been able to achieve fifth place in the American League standings.
 Yesterday the Tigers dropped an- other at home, to the Philadelphia Athletics, who behind the three-hit pitching of Luman Harris, scored their second straight over the Ben gals, 20. Harris pitched one hit ball going into the eighth frame and had retired 18 men in order when the Bengals got to him for their other two hits. Harris also batted in one of the Philadelphia runs with single in the eighth.
 Celebration
 Mel Harder, seeking his 202nd major league victory on Mel Harder night at Cleveland had 8 tough time of it as the Washington Sem ators beat the Indians, 4-2, larkely no Harder's error. The dean of the Tribes pitching staff. being feted by the home town folk for haivng achieve dl1is 200th victory while the club was in the east, blew a 2-1 lead by dropping a throw while covering first base. Three Mats were on the bases and two scored to de- prive harder of the decision. Mickey Haefner, who pitched six-hit ball, was credited with the victory.
 The second place St. Louis Browns gained another half game on the idle New York Yankees by win ming their second straight over the oBston Red Sox, 3-2. Tex Hughson started for the Sox and gave up all seven of the Browns hits. Bob Muncrief was on the mound for the winners and allowed seven hits. The Browns punched their, however, in the fourth and fifth inning to score all their runs.
 The Yankees game against the Chicago White Sox was rained out for the secon dstraight day.
 At Long Last
 Boston Braves finally supported Al Javery adn the hurler came up with his first win of the season, a three hit performance that edged the Pittsburgh Pirates, l..
 Javery, who had lost six straight, was given a one run lead in the first frame and protected it. He was in trouble only in the third inning when two walks and hit filled the bases. A stqueeze play failed, however. and a double play cleared the sacks. Nick Strincevich, who allowed but six hits, was the loser
 Chicago at Philadelphia, Cincir- natl at New York and St. Louis at Brooklyn in the National league were rained out.
