New York, April 10.-(UP)-The
watchword for Brooklyn Dodger
baseball fans once again is. "wait
until next year."
After five years in the first divi-
sion under the leadership Of the In
flammable Leo Durocher, Dem Buns
appear headed for the lower half on
the basis of draft-riddled roster
which left them only an undernour-
ished shadow of their former fight
ing selves.
Shaky pitching and inexperienced
Unfolding wiped out the Flatbush
flock as pennant threat and 1t APP
peared inevitable that the club
would step down even further than
the third it finished in 1913. Opti-
mists were granting the club q
fourth place finish.
Davis And Wyatt
Only two regular pitchers from
last season are on hand. They are
Curt Davis, who won 10 and lost 10.
and Whit Wyatt, who had a 14-S
record, and Wyatt is in IA. There
are four 4-F's on the staff. includ-
ing Bob Chapman, who won IS and
dropped seven at Montreal; Hal
Gregg, an I'LL tosser for Montreal
who dropped three for the Brooks
at the end of last season: Fred Os-
termueller. who had a IL Ebbets
field mark after coming from st.
Louis in the deal for Buck Newsom,
and relief pitcher Les Weber Also
in the bull pen are two army dis
charges, Howard (Vanilla) Wafer
and Tom Warren.
Billy Herman, the key infielder..
is gone and Arkie Vaughan won't be
available until mid-season, cracking
the infield wide open. Durocher is
contemplating a return to second
base and experimenting with Dixie
Walker, a Al outfielder, at third.
The candidates are third baseman
Gil English from indianapolis, a
Az; shortstops Gene Mauch, Mon
treal youngster slated for a June
Navy VS. test, and Bill Hart, la
from New Orleans. Big HOWE
Schultz, who played in As games last
season, will again be at first.
Mickey owen, the head man be-
hind the bat, is in &c and must
spend a certain amount of time on
his farm. This leaves 39-year-old
Ray Hayworth, out of action last
year, and 17-year-old Leroy Jarvis,
high school product, as substitutes.
Garden" Set
In the outfield, however, the Dod-
gers have no worries. There the
club has four 4-F's, two overagers
and one la. The sure-fire StayerS
are French Bordagaray, Augie Gal
an, who may be pressed into infield
service; Garden CLEARWATER, brought
up from New Orleans at the end OF
last season, and Walker. Johnny
Cooney and Paul (Big Poison
Wanter, are over draft age. Loss Of
the Ia man could be major blow.
He is Luis Dino, who hit .315 in

Is, you went for the ducks" as the
saying goes about those who enjoy
rolling the smaller balls at the
smaller pins, and had total of 1863
for SIX games; which is an average
of so close to IA that there is but
one pin missing; the chances are
that you might lay little 6 to 5
that the score would stand up; even
against the keen contenders that
dotted the Mac Carboni Sweep
stakes field Saturday and Sunday.
The sensational score belonged to
Augie D'Onofrio, an Elm City maple
rocker who had the hottest" day
of his career on the alleys yet
when the firing was over, he was
good for only SECOND money; be-
cause the veteran New Haven EX-
press" Jack White needed a spare
and at least 7 fill in the last box,
got his spare and 9 fill to win 500
top prize money with 1855 for IA
plus average. The finish proved
just how good a money bowler
White (Whose correct name is Lev
enthaD happens to be, for when one
is rolling against an 1853 total for six
games, one bad box can ruin a po-
tential high score, but White started
with 1875 then upped to 1873, took a
dive to 1T, jumped again to 152, up
again to 1856 and then the smash
finish, a wood burning lit that was
just about good enough to nose out
a 1889 average.

AMATEUR RING

Boston, April 10. - CUP - The
sweepstakes of swat" get underway
here today as 80 Simon Pure ex-
ponents of legalized mayhem from
Is states and the District Of Column
bia open the Seth annual two-day
national amateur boxing champion
ships at Boston Garden.
Despite sharp competition that
includes trio Of National golden
glove titlists, New England'S dele
CATION rated high on the list Of fav-
orites with at least one member of
the eight-man team given a better
than even chance of bringing home
a crown.
Servicemen were. generously
sprinkled in the field with five
members Of the eight-man New
England team coming from naval
stations. Outstanding in this group
was Chief Wildhorse Haynes of the
U. S. Marine Corps, now stationed
at the QuonSet Point, r. l., naval
base.
A heavy-handed puncher of light
heavyweight proportions, this Indi-
an brave showed unusual class in
betting his way through Examinations
held during the winter at the Bos-
ton Arena.
Looks Good
Experts contend that the New Eng
land relegation is the strongest to
represent the district in many years
because of its heavy service repre-
Sentation.
At least three outsiders appear
destined to climb high on the tour
nament ladder. One of these is
Major Jones, 16-year-old high
school featherweight from Kansas
City, Mo, who is rated the near
est thing to hammering Henry
Armstrong In either amateur or pro-
feSSional ranks. ..-
Equally potent are flyweight Cecil
Schoonmaker of New York and light
heavyweight Ray Standifer of
Cleveland who like Jones came out
on top Of the eaSt-west finals in
the golden glove competition at
Madison Square Garden a month
ago.
Middleweight honors may fall to
the potent punching Frank Swee-
ney OF Washington while the heavy
weight honors will be sought by
Jack Thorne, Jr, of Orange, N. j.,
football star from Seton Hall Prep.
The first bout goes on at 2 p. m.
and, except for an hour at dinner
time, the bouts will continue until
early tomorrow when the field has
been narrowed to 80.
Finals start at tbs p. m. tomor-
row with the champions due to be
crowned about midnight.
