Two Des Moines boys who revered
Franklin D. Roosevelt won't be in
Washington today for the late
Presidents funeral services, but
they tried to make the trip.

were found by police who put them
on a homeward-bound bus.
Mrs. William R. Burgett, mother
of David, Is, who with Albert Gill
bert, 16, planned to be in Wash
ington today, explained that David
had talked about the trip Thursday
night, but she didn't believe he was
serious"
He said that an aAmerican boy
had every reason to attend the
funeral of the man he admired, but
had never seen," Mrs. Burgett said.
Il told him he couldn't even get
in because the funeral would be
private, but he said he would tell
them he was typical American boy
who had come for the funeral"
David has lost one brother in the
war, another is veteran and
third is serving in the South Pacific.

Loncers State Champs Again

A victory dance on Wednesday evening at 8 p. m. has been plan- ned for the state "" intermediate champion Lancers from Water bury, who, on last Saturday suc- cessfully defended their title won a year ago. In the first of three games between Waterbury, New London, Westport and Norwalk teams; Lancers were of form but came through in the final period, from New London, 30-25, then play ed Norwalk, 38-37 winner over Westport in the finals, to eventually win going away, 55 to 8. e
 New London gave the Lancers quite tussle in the first game be- cause of poor team play, passing and atrocious shooting near the hoops by the local lads; who im- proved bit in the second half, and came through in the final period, though pressed all the way. Long John Wolkowski, scored well for the winners in both game. aided con- siderably by Reilly and Dubuque.
 Norwalk got within three points of the Lancers in the finals, after which the winners scored nearly 20 points in a few minutes to have a 9 point edge at the final whistle. scores:

Maybe Coopers Would Prefer $50 A Month On Okinowa
By HARRY CRIMSON NEA Sports Editor

New York-The Cardinals are hardly noted for their profigacy in the matter of players salaries, but that fact doesn't make the walk out of the Coopers any less ill-timed or unwise.
 In the words of the Virginia Judge, right or wrong the Cooper brothers were wrong on more ] than the one count that they had , signed.
 Professional baseball is ex- tremely fortunate to be played at all.
 The death of the President still casts a pail over the nation.
 American troops rush to knock out Germany. The devastating toll of American lives on Two Jima is fresh in memory. Savage fight ing continues in the South Pacific. Racing is blacked out. A curfew curtailS night life.
 With all this going on, Morton and Walker Cooper balk at ac- cepting $2500 month merely for playing baseball in the fresh air a couple of hours daily.
 It simply doesn't make sense.
 The Coopers announced that they would seek employment out side of baseball They shouldn't have much trouble finding it Maybe they would prefer digging foxholes in a hurry on K rations on Okinawa at $50 month.

 Yet even the superior blokes in the red blazers get 25 per cent less than they would on several other clubs. Dizzy Dean, Joe Med wick, Johnny Mize and others real ized this when it was too late.
 Muscles Medwick, sacroiliac and all, is drawing more from the Giants than he collected at Sportsman's Park while showing the way in prac- tically all branches of. the attack. Mize was paid more by the Polo Grounders than he was given as the Cardinals main source of might. Dean fared better financially with the Cubs when he could hardly get the ball up to the plate than he did when Me and Paul two-timed the Tigers in the 1884 World Series.
 The Coopers are worth $15,OO0 apiece, all right, but this is a fine time to be demanding it, specially after havingg sined.

Poor B B Weather In Washington
By PAUL HARRISON

United Press Stan C0rreSpOndent)
 Washington, April 16 - CUP0- The weather man hung a big ques- tionmark today over baseballs scheduled 1945 seasons opener be- tween the New York Yankees and the Washington Senators.
 The forecast was for rain and continued cool, and was borne out in part by steady early morning drizzle. Owner Clark Griffith of the Senators said he would order the game played if at all possible.
 The opener, traditionally played in Washington a day in advance of other major league cities, will be dedicated to the late Franklin Del ano Roosevelt, a baseball fan and largely responsible for keeping the game rolling during war time.
 The crowd, expected to number about 30,00O, will be asked to stand in a moment of silent prayer before game time. Walter Johnson, one of baseball's al-time greats, will assist in the pre-game flag raising cere- mony.
 The name of the man who will throw out the first ball remained a mystery, and Griffith said he would not announce it until just before game time. President Truman ac- cepted the role two weeks ago, when he was still vice-president, but the pressure of his new duties will pre- vent him from being present.
 Manager Ossie Bluege of the Sem ators assigned his ace pitcher, Dutch Leonard, to start the opener against the Yankees Alley Donald.
 MT. Roosevelt had tossed out the first ball in eight opening games since he took offlce in 1883.

 New York, April I6-(UP)-The baseball writers, operating on the theory that the champions are good enough to ride with until they are dethroned, pick the Cardinals and Browns to win the 1045 Na- tional and American League pen- nants.
 Of the 35 writers canvassed in a United Press poll, 24 of them picked the Cardinals to win their fourth consecutive National League pennant while p selected the Browns to make 1t two straight in the junior circuit.
 The selection average showed the Cardinals favored in .706 per cent of the picks, the Browns in .629 per cent. Part of the difference was made up by the fact that one writer confined his picks to the American League.

get action almost before he knows it. The Independence, Mo, draft board said the catcher would be included in an April quota.
 Under the conditions the strike was unfortunate for baseball, and there may be repercussions among the St. Louis players. It's an un- health state when key athletes are envious, and the Coopers' squawk came when they learned that Slats Marion was being paid slightly more than that for which they signed.
 Sam Breadon undoubtedly also would have experienced trouble signing Stan Musial had not the Navy taken him. The outfielder labored for peanuts when he won the National league batting cham pionship in 1943.
 The Cooper case further illus trates that good player turns out to be a sucker when he winds up with the Cardinals.
