Atlantic City, N. J., April 8. -
(UP) The New York Yankees
may not be the Bronx bombers Of
old but long distance hitting has
given them two victories over Ma
tional eLague teams and Manager
Joe Mccarthy indicated today he
was more than pleased with the
clutch punch.
The Yankees defeated Brooklyn 4
to 3 yesterday with George Stirn-
weiss filling Joe Gordon's shoes at
second base. getting $40 foot home
run to deep left. Don Savage, third
baseman. delivered a triple and
scored the winning run in the 18th
inning on catcher Mike Garbark's
single. John Lindell got a similar
$40 foot de-the-park homer in
the Saturday victory over the Phil
lies and Stirnweiss blasted a long
triple.

Marathon Choice

Boston, April 3 - CUP - Coast
grardsman Clayton Farrar Of New
York and New London, Conn.,, had
two 1914 road racing titles to his
credit today and experts were favor
ing him to capture the famed Bos-
ton A. A. marathon on April 10.
To date, the long-striding sailor
had come home first In the 20-mile
North Medford run and the 10-mile
Reddish A. G. grind, a pair Of tune
ups for the Patriots Day race over
the full marathon distance of 26
miles, 1856 yards.
The Reddish on Saturday was
Farrar's latest triumph-a race he
won in the record-breaking time of
so minutes, 46 seconds. A handicap
affair, Farrar picked up the time
prize, the winners prize and a prize
for being the first serviceman to
breast the tape.
Second was Seaman H. Browning
Ross Of the U. s. Navy Of woodbury.,
N. j., while ed Shepard Of Gorham,

Even a baseball comedian can hold

Bordagaray stories have multiplied

The Detroit boxers to file were

CIV entry from Bridgeport, was far

UNITED Press StaR Correspondent

UNITED Press Stan Correspondent
Chicago, April 3-(UP)-Rather
than shoot at the moon with BB-
gun, the Detroit Tigers are content
this year to shoot for first division
BERTH
Manager Steve O'Neill faces his
second season as Detroit manager
with a roster of ten 4-F'S, two men
discharged from the Army, three
average players and one pre-draft
youth. But his bid in the American
league race will be hampered by re-
cent loss Of Dick Wakefield's power
hitting and Virgil Trucks pitching,
which gained 16 victories last sea-
son.
At least IL Of O'Neill's boys. in
Guiding the dangerous Dudy York,
are on the brink of Army careers.
With what is left, O'Neill must
fashion a squad that can uphold
Detroit's reputation of never having
finished in the cellar, winning six
pennants and landing in the first
division "a times in 43 seasons.
Enough Pitchers
The Tigers hope to get off to a
good start on the momentum of its
well-stocked pitching staff, which
includes Dizzy Trout, Hal New
houser, Frank Overnire, Ruff
Gentry and Joe Hare, all AT; 40
year-old Elon "Chief" Hogsett; Zeb
Eaton, discharged from the Army;
17-year-old Emery Hresko; and
Forrest Orrell, John Corsica, WAL
ter Beck and Bob Gillespie, all la.
ONeill is bordering over his
mountainous infield problems. His
inner defense arc is a solid ring of
potential draftees-York, Don Heff-
ner, Ed Mayo and Frank Higgins.
Ed Boron, who has a military dis
charge, appears as a capable re-
placement and AL Unser, Ia, may
switch from his catching chores to
the infield If necessary.
The situation eases somewhat in
the outfield, where Jim Outlaw, Don
Ross, Roger Cramer and Charley
Hostetler appear safe from the
draft. But Charles Metro, Bob Har-
ris and Joe Wood are due for mill
tary roles.
Loyal Fans
Three 4-F'S behind the bat pretty
well dispel Detroit's catching wor-
ries. They are Paul Richards, Bob
Swift and Hack Miller, with Rich
ards getting an inside track on the
starting job.
With this type Of "Now you see
it, now you don't" roster, the Tigers
are counting heavily on pitching
Trout, Newhouser and Overmire ac-
counted for 35 Detroit victories last
year, Trout himself registering 90
If Gentry (who won 20 games for
Buffalo,, Hogsett and Hresko come
through, and If the LAS add few
triumphS before they don khaki
O'Neill may be able to at least salts
fy the loyal Detroit fans who gave
the Tigers re best home-team sup
port in the league last year.

stengel decided he wasn't quite that
hard-headed.
That was the spring Bordagaray
showed up at the Clearwater head
quarters sporting moustache.
Casey called him George Van Hal
tren. They were an ininitable dou-
bles team.
Bordagaray was on second in a
game against the Giants. Jimmy
Jordan hit safely to left field, and
Stengel, coaching at third, waved
Bordagaray in.
"Jo-Jo Moore fielded the ball
quickly, threw perfectly" relates
Frenchy. Round third I saw Gus
Mancuso at the plate waiting for
me with the ball In his hand. I
knew 1 was a dead Dodger. Dis
gusted, I stopped and walked to the
dugout.
"That1l cost you $25-for not
sliding shouted Stengel, roaring
mad. I was a bit reused myself.
You oughta fine yourself for send
ing me in I sassed back. or Case
fumed. It'll cost you $50 for tell
ing me what to do he barked. or
Case wound up being paid $4,000
for not managing the Dodgers, but
he didn't want to be told how to
manage them when he was being
paid for managing them"
Sambo Leslie of the Giants nit
fly to left field. Chasing 1t, Borda-
garay lost his cap, turned back to
retrieve it. The ball fell for a
double Stengel fined him. Frenchy
expressed amazement. What do
you want me to do, catch cold?" he
asked.
Stengel paid minute attention to
detail. The Brooklyns gave $4,000
for Buddy Hassett and when Borda-
garay asked Stengel if he had seen
his star, or Case said no but that
he heard him sing at the Baseball
Writer'S Dinner.
That was a delightful training
cap-the Brooklyn crowd at Clear
water in 1896. Oscar the OK Eek
hardt showed up with a huge police
dog. eff that's your roommate"
cracked Stengel, "yon1l have to pay
his board" Another recruit steamed
in on a motorcycle. They're barred
in this league" warned OF Case.
you can't even use them for road
work"
French Bordagaray will be with
us, as we previously remarked, and
it's too bad Casey Stengel is out
or Case contributed so MANY of
those harmless little extra curricu-
lar touches which 'liven up other
wise stuffy baseball.

United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
New York, April 3-CUP)-Coast
Guardsman Gus Lesnivich, world
light heavyweight champion, be-
lieveS the boxing training received
by men in the armed services will
help them to shift later from uni
form to civilian life without law
lessneSS.
In a statement released today
through the public relations section
of the coast guard, Lesnevich en-
phasized that people who worry
about our boys being lawless after
the war" forget that the men in
uniform are being taught response
bil1ty, self reliance, and alertness-
through boxing.
Independent
The 27-year-old champion, speak
ing for publication for the first time
since entering the coast guard more
than two years ago, said: American
soldiers, sailors, marines and coast
guardsman are being made into
self reliant, alert independent fight
ers. Basically, they are the same
qualities which will make for good
citizenship when the war is over
Boxing will make our fighting men
better citizens later"
Lesnevich, who became undis-
puted 175-pound king by victories
over Anton Christoforidis and Tami
Mauriello in 1941, praised boxing
contributions to the war effort. He
said:
Boxing Is really delivering in the
service. Not only are fighters max
ing great record for the profess
sion, but our service men are learn
ing the competitive spirit and are
being conditioned better than ever
before in history. A great measure
OF this record must go to boxing.
The spirit of the fighter is the spirit
that men need at the front. And if
you don't think it's paying off-ask
the guys on the receiving end"
Lesnevich, now serving as physi-
cal training director for the port Sc
curity force of the coast guard in
New York, said he got more per-
sonal satisfaction out of the manner
in which the men respond to his
teaching than he ever did in any
ring victory.
Its good to know that these
boys can handle themselves under
any conditions, when they leave
here" he explained. Some of the
boys I've had are on cutters and
transports around the world.
Though assigned to port security
temporarily, the men I train may
be sent overseas at any time.
Conditioner
Lesnevich hoped to become a
member of the coast guard invaders
when he entered service few weeks
after Pearl Harbor but his superiors
thought he would be of more value
to the service in conditioning other
men to fight.
Meanwhile, what about his title?
"Oh, I've put that away until after
the war;" he said. when it's over
maybe I'll take on Joe Louis, If
he'll have me. don't know how
I'd do against Louis You can never
tell about man until you're in the
ring with him.
The champion, whose home is at
Cliffside, N. j., is married and has
an infant son, Gus, Jr. His son never
may become professional, "but
he'll be able to handle himself al
right. If everyone was able to
do that, maybe we wouldn't have
had a war today"
