SCOVILL IN
 STATE FINAL.S; WIG B CHAMPS

Continuing their amazing basket ball play of the past month, Scovili E. R. A. added a finals game chance in the state industrial playoffs. to its local I. R. A. championship when it defeated United Aircraft of Hartford last night at the YMCA in almost "easy" fashion. The fi- nal score of 4l-32 was not too indic- ative of the fact that the game might have been much closer if one third of the Hartford shots from close range had found the hoops.
 As the game went, Scovill scored early; led o-5 at the quarter; 20-15 at half time and 34-26 before the final period of play, having the game well-in-hand throughout and showing more speed and accuracy.

 Joe Joyce, player -coach with 12 points led the Scovill scoring against United Aircraft last night: but Kraft, Casey, Andclina and Longo were very effective in the game throughout, without substi- tuition being made until the last 8 seconds of play when Andolina was benched for five personal fouls. Do- brltSkV. reported "key" man of the U-A offense played ordinary basket ball while the team as a whole was on the slow side, then missed dozen to IS shots that might have scored on another night, with little Tuck.

Dodds Charges AAU Money Mad

Charleston, W. Vo., April 5. = (UP) - Gil DoddS of Boston, who retired from his track career to be- come a travelling minister. charged today that the amateur Athletic Union ruled out his world indoor mile record of 4:O6.4 because he re- tired when he was good drawing card.
 "The heads of the A.A.U. some- times put money ahead of eyery- thing else, evesl though they are supposed to represent amateurs" he said. They like to count the little greenbacks that slip across the tic- ket windows"
 Dodds referred to the recent ac- ton of the A.A.U. in submitting his world mile record to official review at the next meeting of It's record committee because 1t was established on a track which had no inside curbing.
 He made his statement in a radio interview.

 IMPRESSIVE IN
 ATLANTA DRILLS
Ry RURNs BENNETT

Wy BURNS BENNETT
 United Press Stan COFrespOndent)
 Atlanta, Ga, April 5-WP)-It's get-away day today on the profes- sional golfing circuit and the rest of the field will have its last chance of the season to break up the Bly, ron Nelson-Sammy Snead monopoly in the &l0,OO0 Atlanta Iron Lung tournament.
 A field of 30 odd pros and anna teurs was entered and the early hope of the long-shot fans was Jimmy Demaret, the Texas sailor on Navy leave who has been play ing in practice rounds as if he had never heard of either Nelson or Snead.
 Nevertheless, Nelson. the Toledo, O.. veteran and Snead, the West Viriginian who served a hitch in the Navy himself, are the one-two favorttes. Nelson is going after his eighth tournament victory of the winter season and Snead is seeking his seventh. Together they have won 13 of the IT meets that have taken the nations top pros from Oregon to Georgia.
 What put Demaret into the fore ground was his first round over the tough capital city course in which he turned in 8 four-under-par 65. Nelson's best practice effort was an efficient 67, better than his average in tournament play.
 Hines Was "HOt"
 The most spectacular short-range shooting of the practice rounds was turned in by old Jimmy Hines, the Chicagoan, who had a hole in one and two eagles. He dropped his ace on the 160-yard 1lth hole where his iron shot hit the green and eased into. the cup.
 Normally, Demaret wouldn't be- long in the dark horse category. Tn 1940 before he went into the Navy he set a winter record of six tourna- ment victories which stood until Nelson broke 1t this year. However, he has had little opportunity to practice regularly in the Navy.
 His colleagues said, however. that he showed all the flash and finesse that gave him 1940 victories in San Francisco, Oakland, New Orleans, St. Petersburg, Fla, the Western Open and the Augusta, Ga, Masters which the Iron Lung tournament supplants this year. The proceeds will go to purchase mobile iron lungs and other medical equipment.
 Jones Too Busy
 Among the conspicuous absentees will be Bobby Jones, Atlanta's $ grand-slam golfer of the Golden era of sport, who annually returned to active competition for one tourna- ment-the Masters, which he spon- sored at his home club at Augusta. Jones said he had been too busy to get his game up to tournament standard this year.
 Others among the top pros given a good chance to finish in the money were Ed Dudley, profession al Golf Association President from New York; Jimmy Thomson, the long driving expert recently dis charged from the Marines; Craig Wood of Mamoroneck, N.- Y, Claude Harmon of Crosse Point, Mich, Harold McSpaden of Sanford, Me. Tony Penna of Dayton, O., Bob Hamilton of Evansville, Ind, Frank Strazza of Greenwich, Conn.,, Henry Picard of Harrisburg, Pa, Denny Shute of Akron, O., Joe Turnesa of New York. Leonard Dodson of San Francisco, Jimmy Gamtt of Ard more, Okla, and Ky Laffoon of Chicago.

BROWNS RATED
 TEAM TO BEAT IN AMERICAN
(EditorS-This is the ninth in series on the l04S prospects of the major league baseball teams)
By LEO H. PETERSEN Limited Press Sports EdttOr)

@3@N@S-@@N
 Limited Press Sports EditOr)
 New York, April 5 WP) - Because they are going into the race with virtually the same team with which they won the 1914 championship, the St. Louis Browns have been made 8 to 5 favorites to take the 1945 American League pennant.
 The same experts who didn't give Manager Luke Sewells crew a tum- ble last season figure that the club has added strength and will be the team to beat.
 Al Zarilla, an outflelder, is the only regular member of the Browns first championship club who de- finitely will not be back. He is in the armed forces: His loss, however, is minor enc compared to what the team would suffer if Pitcher Denny Galehouse sticks to his in- tention of remaining at his Akron, O., war plant job. Galehouse was a key man in the stretch drive in which the Browns nosed out De- troit by one game and the sturdy right handler was credited with one of the two contests which the Cin- derella boys won from their inter city rivals, the Cardinals, in the world series.
 Sewell still is hoping that Gale house will report to anchor his pitching staff along with Nelson Potter and Jack Kramer. Bob Muncrief and Sid Jakucki, also reg ularS last season, also are back, along with George Caster, the No. 1 relief man; Tex Shirley. Sam zol- dak, Weldon West and Al Hollings- worth all of whom were used in limited basis.
 Jones. left-handed strike out king who won 10 games with Toledo, and Al LaMacchia, 12-game winner with the Browns minor league farm club in the American Associa- tion-have shown promise in spring training. If they come through, they may round out the best hurling staff in the league. It has depth as well as quality.
 Myron (ReO Hayworth and Frank Mancuso will be back to share first string catching duties with Tom Turner and Joe Schultz, both veterans, fighting for the other berth.
 The infield is all set with George McQuinn at first, Don Butteridge at second, Vern Stephens at short and Mark Christman at third. Ellis Clary, who was with the club last season, and eonard Schulte, a rookie up from Toledo, will be available for utility duty.
 Two. rockies are making deterln- med bids for regular outf1eld posts the one-armed Pete Gray, who hit .333 with Memphis last season and was the hitting sensation of the Browns early exhibition games, and Boris Martin, $50 hitter with Toledo.
 The Browns got break when Mike Kreetvich, who led the team in batting last year with an aver- age of .301, was given a six months deferment by his draft board after he left his war plant job to return to baseball. He will hold down cen- terf1eld again.
 Vying W ith Gray and Martin for regular berths are Milt Byrnes, Chet Laabs, Gene Moore and Mike Chartak. all of whom were with the team last. year. Chartak will also be available for the first base job if needed.
