Mack 10 Play Ball
By the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, April "a. - Ray
Mack, Cleveland Indians second
baseman employed in a war plant,
is free to play ball In his spare time,
members of his selective service
board have declared. They denied
the Tribesman would be classified
la for joining the team in home
night and Sunday games.
In a letter to the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, Board Chairman Stephen
w. Csutoros said: "At no time was
Mack told he would be given a la
classification if he played ball"
| The letter stated Mack asked the
board for permission to play nights
and Sundays, whereupon board
members told him it might embar-
rass the board" because the public
would not know he was engaged in
war work at Thompson Aircraft
Products Co.
Csutoros explained the board did
not desire to limit Mack's free-tim
activities, however, land Mr.. Mack
is free as he always has been to
utilize his time as he sees fit"
Neither Mack nor Cleveland club
officials could be reached for COM

purely mechanical, making the In
field look especially poor.
This collapse was surprising con-
sidering that during the exhibition
season the Mats appeared TO ad-
vantage In defense and a revised
infield was believed to be well able
to bear up under sharp attack. But
In the championship games the
Mats with the pressure on haven't
looked any too good.
The Mats also have suffered from
the failure of their cleanup hitter
to pound in pinches. Only twice
has Bob Ortiz really caught hold
of the ball with the bat. In the
fifth inning against the AS here
last Thursday he sent a solid wal
lop to center when the bases were
filled, but partially Offset the value
of that blow with some blundering
baserunning. Against the Yanks
in New York Saturday, he drove
a torried liner to left In the sixth,
but Bud Metheny made a fancy
catch.
What sound hitting the Mats have
had has come from George Case,
Stan Spence and Yves Ferrell.
Spence especially promises to be the
hitter he was two seasons ago when
his bat figured largely in what at
tack the Mats were able to produce.
Pulling the ball again, he is danger

Poor results from the hit-and-run
play thus far may cause the Wash
ington club to swing more toward
the sacrifice. This form Of attack
promises to be a mainstay with most
clubs this season, what with the
batters now at hand not the potent
Founders their predecessors were
and the pitchers perhaps farther
ahead of the batters than the hurl-
ers formerly were.
Something must be done to get
runs for the Mats. The two games
they have tossed away indicate
they'll need plenty of scoring to get
on the winning side as a rule.

Kentucky Derby Now
Figures as Stir Up
Against Field
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 24.-It's Stir
Up against the field in the historic
Kentucky Derby at Louisville, KY,
a week from Saturday.
The decisive victory of Mrs. Payne
Whitney's 3-year-old gelding in the
first division of the Wood Me-
mortal at Jamaica cut his odds in
the Derby winter books from to /
to a slim 8 to 5.
The winner of the Flamingo at
Hialeah, Stir Up scored by four
lengths over Mrs. Ethel D. Jacobs
Stymie before a crowd of 41,412,
which contributed to racings first
S., 100000 betting day. A total of
S3,176,553 was wagered on the seven
race card. Col. c. v. Whitney's
Pukka Gin, the early winter book
favorite, finished a disappointing
fourth behind A. A. Baroni's third
place Autocrat.
Although George Widener's Lucky
Draw romped to an easy triumph
IN the second division of the Wood.
he ran the 1/16 miles in 1:46k,
two seconds slower than Stir Up.
This is equivalent to 10 lengths,
figuring l length every fifth of a
second.
Stir Up will be shipped to Churchill
Downs tomorrow, with indications
that Lucky Draw also will be on
his way before the week end. Bert
Mulholland, trainer of the Widener
colt, said in Philadelphia that Lucky
Draw "came out of his race all right
and we're going for the Derby if
nothing happens to him in the
meantime"
Meantime the Chesapeake Stakes

MoIIis in PreIims

Tomorrow morning Old Tommy
Mollis will be either another pre-
linn boy or a fighting fool looking
forward to a ball park booking with
AL Dummy Davis and a lot OF
lettuce.
Tonight Old Tom is up against a
tough fight in meeting Red Doty
in the 10-round welterweight wind
up at Turner's Arena. This will
be their third meeting. Tom took
the first one, but when they met
in Boston the second time, the red
haired Irishman slapped Mollis
down in l minute and IA seconds
of the first round Tom says ii
was lucky punch, and demanded
la rematch.
Veteran Banks on Craft.
Tom is planning the craftiest
fight of a long career, and it may
require all the ring strategy he
can muster to defeat his slugging
Opponent.
Doty has scored three knockouts
in a row, including a four-round
kayo of Morris Reif, the sensational
New Yorker. Doty has come along
brilliantly under the coaching of
his high-ranking stablemate, Willie
Pep, and the carrot-top now is ready
to challenge the top welters. That
ball park date with BUNNY Davis
would be feather in his cap and
money in his pocket and Red will
overlook no chances tonight to
clinch it. Doty claims he hurt his
hand in the bout Old Tom won
from him, and some fight experts
think he could have won had he
kept on punching with that mitt
However, the action was so close
that no more than three points
separated the two.
Should Please Crowd.
Both have everything at stake in
tonight's fight, and it should be a
crowd-pleaser.
The supporting card features a
six-rounder between Brad Lewis,
last years National AAU middle
weight champ, and Tee Hubert, a
local favorite. Roy Lewis, Indiana
battler, meets George Farrell. The
other two sixers have Ernie Butler
against AL White, both unbeaten
and Frankie Gillen facing Al
Franklin.

Flag Threat; Army
Takes Chandler
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Off to fast start with six straight
victories, this may be the year the
surprising St. Louis Browns will
win their first American League
pennant.
Not since 1922, when they finished
second by one game to the New
York Yankees, have the Browns
been pennant contender, but un-
less all signs fail, they should be
in the thick of the scrap all the
way this campaign.
They polished of the Chicago
White Sox in both ends of a SUM-
day double e-header at st. Louis yes
terday, S to 2 and 4 to 8. Pitcher
Jack Kramer helped himself to his
second victory in as many starts
by blasting two-run homer in
the opener. Effective relief twirling
by the veteran George Caster ac-
counted for the nightcap Indica-
tive OF the excellent pitching Man
ager Luke Sewell is getting is the
fact that in 54 INNINGS the Brownie
twirlers have yielded only Is runs
and 40 hits while sweeping three
game series from the Detroit Tigers
and White Sox.

Sharing interest with the Browns
six-game winning streak was the

2o-game winning pitcher of the

been accepted for limited service,
but was not Immediately called, was
notified he will pitch one game
against the Philadelphia Athletics
before he leaves New York Thurs
day.

umphs over the Cubs at Chicago

three-run homer to subdue the
Bruins in the nightcap SouthpaW
Max Lanier won his second straight
game IN the opener.
Braves Score First Victory.
Tobin's one-hitter against the
Pills at Boston gave the Braves
their first win, S to 0, but they
promptly took it on the chin again
when Southpaw AL Gerheauser of
the Phils blanked them, 3 to O, with
six hits in the second game of a
twin bill. Ford Mullen's sixth-in-
ming single was the only hit off the
veteran Tobin. Two others reached
first, one on a base on balls and
the other on an error.
Detroit ended a four-game losing
streak by beating Cleveland twice
at Cleveland, to Q and 4 to 8, be-
hind the pitching of Dizzy Trout
