Largest Opening Day
Crowd Is Expected
AT Narragansett
By the Associated Press.

,PAWTUCKET, r. l., May 12.-The
largest opening day crowd in New
England's running horse history was
expected to welcome back the pari-
mutuel sport today when Narra-
gansett Park celebrates the lifting
of the racing ban by opening rs
day meeting.
With about 1000 well-rested horses
on the grounds, bulky fields were
assured for each of the nine events
on the opening card and, with no
recent past performances to infiu-
ence them, eager and Well-heeled
Wagers anticipated generous prices
from winning favorites.
The feature race, a 512 -furlong
sprint for the $4,000 Inaugural Purse,
drew 25 entries, with the result that
it was split into two divisions. Out
standing appeared to be Joe Tuccis
Nowadays, which won three in a
row in Florida before the sport
closed down on January 3.
That 3-year-old was down to go
in the second division, along with
MIS-. Louie "OOl IOOU 1OlllS
Ray Metcalf's Castleman and Sam
Garfelds entry of Lively Man and
Patriotism. Mrs. Woolf also had
Turnabout and Bar Willow going as
an entry in the stakes first division,
which also included such capable
sprinters as Elray, Salvo, Mixer and
White Time.
Since few of the horses in train
ing here have been sharpened for
distance of ground, the secondary
feature, the mile and 10 yards New
Haven for a S2,500 purse, drew a
comparatively small field of eight
reuters that included Spangled
Game, Red Dock and ToWakee. all
of which were consistent performers
before the Nations tracks were shut
down and the pari-mutuel addicts
were given time to upholster their
bankrollS.
While not making any predictions,
the Narragansett management had
its plant geared to handle a 10000
crowd. If the tracks turnstiles are
stormed by such numbers, the OPEN

The Green Tigers of Wilson High,
locked in a tie with Eastern for
second place in the interhigh base
ball standings today, enjoy sizeable
advantage in the coming battle for
the upper brackets.
| The Tigers, who climbed into the
berth with 2-to-0 win over Ana
costa yesterday after scoring sur
prise victory over Eastern last week,
are over the hump in their schedule,
and have hit their stride with all
the tough games behind them.
Eastern, on the other hand, faces
rough tilt with Coolidge, the pres
ent undefeated league leader, next
Tuesday, and if the Ramblers
tumble, Wilson will have undisputed
second place. With only three sec
ond division clubs, Western, Roose-
welt and Tech, remaining on their
schedule, the Tigers then could roar
into the home stretch for a crack at
Coolidge in the playoffs.
Central Makes Surprising Gain.
Meanwhile, a surprising Central
nine has hoped into the first divi-
sion to take fourth place. The
Vikings slapped down Western in
yesterdays other 2-to-0 pitching
duel.
Wilson rooters are breathing bit
easier today after that extra inning
triumph at Anacostia. The Tigers,
not expecting much of contest
from the cellarites, shaved it little
too close for comfort.
After seven scorless innings, with
Wilson's Rufus Webb and Nick
PAMELA of the Indians staging one
of the tightest mound duels of the
year, the Tigers punched in two
runs in overtime on a double by
Bob Hogue.
With three punched hits, Pierce
Godfrey and Bill Torrey singled and
Hogue brought them home with the
games only runs. The trio of blows
represented three-fifths of the hits

Dual Loss 10 Brooks
Has Cards Gasping;
Giants Keep Il Up
By JACK HAND,
Associated Press Staf1 Writer.

St. Louis was finding the going
tough in the National Leagues east
ern half today as the suspicion grew
that serious trouble was ahead for
the world champions.
Not that two successive ambushes
by Brooklyn southpaws were going
to give Skipper Billy Southworth
sleepless nights. Marty Marion still
was out of the lineup and the out
field was a patchwork proposition
due to the injury to Red Schoen-
dienSt.
However, six straight victories by
the New York Giants, two against
western opposition, could be a real
storm signal and the Brooks six
game string couldn't be ignored.
The Cards murdered the Dodgers
18 out OF % games last year and
romped over the Giants 1876, but
it was safe bet there would be
no repeat performance this summer
Brooklyn's hot Srreak was the talk
of the majors because the "ex-
perts" had labeled the Buns cellar
bait and even Branch Hickey and
Leo Durocher must be amazed.
Johnny RucKer's 18-game hit
streak was snapped by Frank Dassc
of Cincinnati, but Phil Weintraut
clouted one into the upper stands
with two on in the eighth for the
Giants 4-3 margin.
Although Van (the New Mungc
failed to last for the fourth straight
time, Ace Adams saved him a seconC
decision. Weintraub's clout tied hin
with Mel OFT and Ernie Lombardi
for the league lead with five.
Pete Fox and Lloyd Christopher

AS 4-F Draft Goes
By LEWIS F. ATCHIsON.

Professional sports, baseball and
football particularly, began the long
ascent back to prewar normalcy to-
day as the War Department ended
induction of 4-F athletes.
The future seemed brighter than
at any time since Pearl Harbor with
the few remaining stars-legiti-
nately disqualified for military serv-
ice, free to continue their sports ca
reers, and prospects good for the
early discharge of those athletes
with long service records.
There was only one fly in the
ointment. In explaining its action
the War. Department said cases OF
men already inducted under Selec-
tive Service Memorandum It'd Will
be reviewed individually, and those
found not rendering useful service
because of physical condition will be
discharged. Some observers be-
lieved the phrase useful service
might keep in uniform some men
physically incapable of manual la
Dor who could hold down desk job
or handle tasks of lighter nature.
Future Appears Rosy.
But as a whole sports viewed the
future through rose -colored glasses
In Washington it meant the end o1
draft worries for Pitchers Dutch
Leonard, Roger Wolff and Mickey
Haefner and Outfielder George Case
all 4-F. For the Redskins it meant
the probable return of Ends Al Pia-
secki, who already had seen military
service: Ted Lapka and Center Bar
ney Foltz. The latter was accepted
under terms of memorandum 77-2
despite stomach ulcers, while Lapka
was indicted with an injured ankle
The order meant the end OF ply
sical examinations for Redskir
Guard Ed Merkle, who had been re
jected five times, and the New Yorl
Yankees Nick Etten, who had beer
up eight times without passing, bu
who still was considered potentia
draft material.
Griffs Hope to Regain Two.
Washington also hoped to regain
Outfelder Stan Spence and Short
stop Johnny Sullivan, regulars OF
last years team, while other team'
we're heartened by the probable re
turn of some of their most lustrou
stars. Outstanding cases were thos'
of Danny Litwhiler and Wake
Cooper, of the st. Louis Cardinals
who entered the service only re-
Gently.
The War Department, which tool
action following a protest by Repre-.
sentative Melvin Price, Democrat o
Illinois, of discrimination agains

than 100 athletes in service woult
be affected by the new order. Al
cases subject to review will rever
to local boards, but the individual
as well as the board will be notified

The breakdown on AZ athlete

6. W. High Is Favored
To Cop Met Track
Championship Today

George Washington High was th"
favorite to win the second annua
Metropolitan track and field meet
as scholastic cinder squads pre-
pared for today's finals in the
Wilson Bowl, but strong competi-
ton was expected from Tech, East
ern and Wilson.
In yesterdays qualifying, high
lighted by the smashing of two
meet records, the Presidents placed
nine thinclads in today's events.
Tech qualified eight and Eastern
and Wilson each entered seven.
Two finals staged yesterday put
Wilson and Coolidge in first day
tie for first place with five points
each when Johnny Colvin of Will
son broke his own pole vault record
by jumping II feet inches, and
Coolidge won the spring medley
relay. Coolidge, however, failed to
place any men in the qualifying
for today's finals, and virtually is
out of the meet.
Another meet mark fell in 100
yard dash qualifying when Bob
O'Sten of Hyattsville was clocked
in 1912, lowering last years record
of 1913 hung up by Eddie Trivette
of Eastern.
Another mark was equalled in the
120-yard hurdles when Alvin Lam
of Tech, holder of the Metro broad
Jump record, ran through the tall
timber in l6.5, the time set by Mario
Salvanelli of Roosevelt last year.

500 Bangtai|s Ready
As Chicago Racing
Gets Under Way
b. the Associated Press.

BT the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 12-Some 600
bangtails, technically tethered in
their stalls around Chicago since
January 3, are ready to run again
and the best of them will get their
first tests in the Inaugural Handicap
at Sportsman's Park today.
The race horses, out of competi-
ton since the "blackout" on racing
have been trained and schooled, and
are ready to go as 153 days of racing
on Chicago ovals opens.
The inaugural feature on the only
half-mile track in the Chicago area
was to be split into two sections
today, with 38 original entries. Win
ner of each will be the chief sharer
in two purses of $4,000. About 10
horses were expected to start in
each section.
c. F. Martins Bring Me Home
was favored in the first section, with
Mrs Robert McGarvey's speedy
Night Shadow and Henry Tikulskis S
Bolus, an entry, second choice in the
7-furluong race for 3-year-olds and
upward. In the second section,
Quizzie was favored, ahead of the
Happy Hour Farms Rosy Brand
and TikulskiS Holdall.
Bring Me Home, a California i'm
portation, was out of the money only
eight times in Is starts last Sum-
mer, and won $17,320 in purses
Quizzie earned $1,000 last year with
four firsts, six seconds and four
thirds in % starts.
The Sportsmans Park meet will
open l53 days of racing in the Chi
cago area, including meets at Wash
ington Park, Hawthorne Park, Ar
lington Park, Lincoln Fields
The Sportsman's meet originally
was scheduled to open last month
and horsemen, hopeful the racing
ban would be lifted, prepared their
mounts for the meet. They were
worked out daily and the track pro-
vided a starter to school younger
horses at the barrier. Opening of the
track after lifting of the ban. there
fore, was not delayed because of the

|Griffmen End Losing Streak
With a 1O-Inning, IL Tie

able to make a play on Binks, Gut
teridge threw home, but Myatt was
there well ahead of the ball
The Browns weren't long in even-
ing the count. Stephens drew a pass
at the outset of the second inning
and raced to the plate when Nc
Quinn rammed the ball against the
right field screen for a two-bagger.
Between the first and seventh in
nings, the Mats got just two men as
far as first base. In the seventh,
though, they had Cliff, who walked,
on third and Guerra, who singled
and stole, on second and two out.
This put it strictly up to Wolff, but
his best was a pop to the second
sacker.
Their next chance came in the
10th. but dizzy running by Guerra
wasted it. He began the round with
single and Wolff sacrificed. Then
Case shot a single between short
and third, but Guerra pulled up aft
er leaving second and got to third
only, when he should have scored.
But wilder stuff followed. When
Myatt tapped to the pitcher, Guerra
broke from third Immediately to
be trapped and run down for the
second out. Then Kuhel rolled the
Mats into retirement.
Personnel Shift Due.
Further revision of the Mats bat
ting order is likely to follow Torres
move up to fifth place and the drop
ping of Cliff to sixth. In fact,
the personnel of the club may be
changed. {. Little headway can be
made by an aggregation that in
cludes three men batting below 200.

Evans will be ready to catch again
next week +. the finger he broke
has mended and now Al is able to
grip bat to get some much needed
practice. The Mats went on a
glove buying spree while in St.
Louis, an old custom with them q.
some bought as many as three field
ers' gloves . they never think of
purchasing such equipment in any
other city. . 1t would be nice if
they could find place here to buy
some base hits.
