Dearborn Plans
Bus Plea 10 0DT

After more than 200 angry
parents stormed the Dearborn
Board of Education last night to
demand free school bus service
for their children, board members
today are planning to appeal
jointly with the parents to the
ODT in an effort TO soften ODT
regulations.
Herbert s. Mitchell, board bust
ness manager, explained that the
ODT permits free transportation
only to those children who live
two and one-half miles or more
from school. None of the COM
plainants lives more than two and
three tenths miles from school,

Banks 10 Beat Perry
If Bout Goes Route,
Armstrong Holds

Fridays 10-round fight between
Aaron Perry and Billy Banks at
Uline Arena looms as an interesting
match between puncher and boxer,
in the opinion of Henry Armstrong,
the former triple champion who fol-
lows these two into the ice plant
with match on March 20 with
frankie Wills.
You never know how to Judge
these fights" said Armstrong after
watching both go through their
training PAGES yesterday at Liberty
A. c. Perry might win by knock
out. he predicted, but If it goes the
distance he likes the more skillful
Banks.
Experience and cleverness mean
a lot" Armstrong reasoned. Banks
has been around and knows how to
pace himself, but Perry is a good
prospect and should go long way"
The Hammer also concurred in the
opinion that Perry resembles Joe
Louis in lightweight version. He
has plenty of Joe's actions. He
shuffles out and punches fiat footed
and he has the poker face and
mechanical reactions of natural
fighter"
Armstrong likely will remain here
and train locally for his Wills match
on March 20. Perry and Banks were
scheduled for additional workouts
this afternoon.

Ample Playing Talent
For Big Season Seen
By Mack, Pennock
By the Associated Press.


PHILADELPHIA, Mar. 7.-Connie
Mack, president of the Athletics,
and Herb Pennock, general manager
of the Phillies, agreed today that
in spite of the reluctance of players
to sign and the loss of manpower
to the armed services, major league
baseball teams will open the season
with ADEQUATE playing strength.
The two veteran baseball men
said they believe major league teams
may be able to get by with a squad
of 20 players instead of the prewar
maximum of Is, if such a step be-
comes necessary.
Il don't see any reason why base
ball should not go through the sea-
son and flourish" Mack declared.
There isn't anything to worry about
on that score"
TITS a grand opportunity for boys
to break into baseball" said Pen
mock. Most of the major league
clubs will lose their ga players any
time.
Nothing short of an order by the
Government banning all sports will
stop baseball" J." Pennock declared.
Backing Pennock's statement that
the new season will be one of oppor-
tunity for boys, Tommy Richardson,
Eastern League president, said the
minors have hired scouts and will
seek out 16 and II year old boys
with baseball ability.
Arthur H. Ehlers, president of the
Interstate League, said in Balti-
more, "Our problem is the same
as any business today and we are
going to make the best of it. There
is no reason why the Interstate
League can't go through with it's

Arcaro May Be Third
To Be Thrice Victor
In Kentucky Derby
By the Associated Press.

os Lie Associated PTeSS.
NEW YORK, Mar. T. Eddie
Arcaro, the jockey of the hour, may
become the third man in history to
win the Kentucky Derby three times
Arcaro, who regained national
prominence with his victories in the
Flamingo and Widener stakes at
Hialeah Park, triumphed in the 1898
Derby with Lawrin and repeated in
1941 with Whirlaway, famed all
time money winner.
So far the skillful little Jockey
hasn't received a mount for the May
6 classic at Louisville, but racing
observers believe that is a formality
that will be attended to long before
post time.
Isaac Murphy and Earl Sande
famous jockey of the Golden 1920s
so far are the only riders to thrice
win the coveted Churchill Downs
classic that started in 1875.
Murphy was up on Buchanan ir
1884, Riley in 1890 and Kingman in
1891. Sande booted Zev home ir
1873, Flying Ebony in 1925 and Gal
liant Fox in 1880.
With Arcaro in the saddle on
Derby day no bettor probably will
feel safe without at least two bucks
on him, just for safety's sake. The
odds against him riding four con-
Secutive winners of the Flamingo
and Widener were tremendous, but
he did it. The stakes were not run
IN 1943 because Hialeah was closed
but Arcaro won both in 1912.
To date this year Arcaro has
ridden Al winners, his latest, Grand
Day, $11.20, in the second race at
Tropical Park yesterday.

Both Have Funefioned
Over 40 Years, Vet
Leader Points Out
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Mar. TT you
think baseball should fold up for
the duration, or that the fans win
not turn out to see the talent
depleted teams in action, you can
get yourself a swell argument with
John A. Heydler.
Come August, Mr.. Heydler will be
rs years old, and he's spent mite
more than so of those years with the
National League, l6 as its president
before retiring in 1894, when he ac-
cepted lifetime job as chairman Of
the leagues board.
The white-haired gentleman, who
has seen the national game weather
many storms, should know whereof
he speaks, and here's what he has to
say:
Don't worry about baseball giving
up in wartime. Discounting the
huge investment angle, the clubs
and the leagues have other and
greater reasons for continuing.
Have Proved Their Stability.
For A years the National League
has operated with the same eight
clubs. Counting the eight years
those clubs were part Of the old 12-
team league, they've been together
So years. Why, Boston and Chicago
n,1f Nf IA
minute since 1t was organized back
in 1876.
The American League has had
the same eight clubs for AZ years.
There Is a pride of organization
among the major league clubs. The.
long association has placed halo
around the teams and the game,
and 1t will not be discarded.
Some fear the attendance may
fall far under the usual standard,
but I do not subscribe to that idea.
I don't believe the absence of estab-
lished stars will hamper the gate to
any great extent.
Il have seen, out on Long Island,
$500 to 1000 fans at a high school
game. Many of the players this year
may come straight from the high
schools-but remember such stars as
Mel OFT, Phil Rizzuto, Marius Russo
and a host Of others made the jump
straight from high school to the
majors or high minors. Present-day
boys can do it, too.
Sees Uncertain, Stirring Race.
ITO me it appears we are in for
an interesting season-one full of
thrills. The fact that no one can
possibly predict the outcome should
add to the interest. With the clubs
filled with new talent, and training
in the North, there's not much
chance for preseason rating-and
who knows but what a chronic tall
ender might turn up as the winner?
TITS too bad the teams can't train
in the South. Given a months
warm weather, and a chance to work
the youngsters alongside the vet
Grams, the managers could put clubs
on the field that would compare
favorably with those of the prewar
days.

with new men going into the service,
but baseball Is proud of what its
men are doing in helping to win the.

until, they come back" "a. ssa5s,
