Nine horses coming direct from Gulfstream Park, where between them they won 19 races to lead all stables, were in the shipment, with nine others to follow shortly from the Woolf farm in Ohio. Included were the year old Romulus, winner of nine straight; Bar Willow, On the Dou- ble, Door Yock, Raw Recruit, Da- witt, Turnabout, Miss Wolverine and the very fast lilly, Good Going which stepped three quarters in 1:10 3-5 when scoring at the Tro- pical Park meeting.
 The outfit are in charge of Stan- ley Lipiec, the young Canadian ex- rider, who has been something of sensation as a trainer since hang ing up his riding tack some four seasons ago. Stanley took his first job as trainer with c. F. Wag- ner, the Illinois restaurateur, early in 1943; he started with one lone horse, but by judicious claiming he quickly built the stable into a pow nrflll racinp nlItfit ond hAfnra tha end of the year had won no fewer than fifty races for the Illinois sportsman.

CLOSE RACES
 SHAPE UP FOR
 1945 MAJORS
By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Staff Correspondent

'
 New York, April IT U.PD - Most of the stars" are gone from major league baseball's banner, but 1t will be hoisted none the less proudly today for the opening of the fourth straight wartime season.
 The stars" are away playing a greater and grimmer game and the kids, the 4-Fs and the oldsters left to carry on won't produce brand of major league baseball to compare with happier peace time years.
 But it will be baseball just the same, even with the stars" on serv- ice flags instead of on the diamond. Thousands of fans will make their annual trek to the parks for the official start of the great American pastime.
 Never before has baseball been at such a low ebb for manpower, yet paradoxically never before were hopes any higher for a successful season.
 The majors open their season with the mandate of the late Pres ident Franklin D. Roosevelt to carry on. It is no secret that the execu- tives of the game would have called 1t quits for the duration without his provisional green light"
 The renewal today will be the 69th for the National League, which began operations in 1876 and the 44th for the American which has been going since 1901.
 Repeaters?
 Close races were forecast for both circuits. The two St. Louis clubs, whose off-Season manpower losses were less serious than elsewhere, are expected to repeat for the res- pective championships, but neither can afford to falter.
 Excluding pitchers, there are only 30 players now slated for every day major league duty who were regulars with their respective clubs in September of 1941-the last pre- war season. Although they aren't expected to make a showing in the National league race, the Brook lyn Dodgers, surprisingly enough have more pre-war talent around than any other club, four men.
 The Cards and Browns each have three Who were regulars at the close of 1941 as do the Washington Sena- tors and the New York Giants. The Pittsburgh Pirates, Boston Braves. Boston Red Sox. Cleveland Indians, and Chicago Cubs have two each. the New York Yankees, Chicago White Sox, Detroit Tigers, and Phil adelphia Athletics one each, and the Philadelphia Phillies and Cin- clnnati Reds have none left.
 No Sun
 weather prospects were not too good for the openers, with rain forecast for most of the east and midwest. Weather conditions caus- ed poStponement of yesterdays Presidential opener at Washington between the Senators and Yankees, which was to have been dedicated to the memory of MT. Roosevelt.
 The opening lineup of games in the National league matches the Giants and Braves at Boston. the Phils and Dodgers at Brooklyn. the Cards and Cubs at Chicago and the Pirates and Reds at Cincinnati.
 In the American. the Red sox play the Yankees at New York, the Tigers meet the Browns at St. Louis, the Senators oppose the Ath- letics at Philadelphia, and the White Sox open at Cleveland against the Indians.

Sims Vs Wright, Arena, Thursday Resumes Boxino

New Haven, April IT. Berry wright of Cleveland has designs on a star bout in Madison Square Gar den, and he aims to hit the house of Mike Jacobs via the New Haven Arena. He's due at the Arena c,l thursday night of this week when he nights Baby Sims of Hartford in the main bout of 10 rounds. and if he lives up to advance promises, he'll be back again.
 But, as Wright will tell you. he has no hankering to finger long in any place except New York. Thus Tar he hasn't said s,ything about winning the welterweight title of the world, but that will probably follow when and if he makes the Garden.
 Kilbane's Boy
 The youngster is a protege of Johnny Kilbane and he has already won local fame as the winner of the Cleveland Plain Dealer Golden Gloves tournament welter title, and also in taking top honors in the All Western amateur championships
 His pro record shows 19 straight victories, the outstanding triumph being 8 win over Chuck Hunter, a sturdy performer who recently lost a split decision to the highly touted Jimmy Doyle.
 Thursdays card also lists Tony Brandino of Hamilton, Ontario, and Providence against Jackie Thomson of New York in the eight round semi- final; Jackie Tarzan of Tor rtngton vs. Bobby Berger of New York, in a six; Bobby Snow of Wa terbury vs. Al Onofrio of Watertovn, in a four: and an opening four rounder. The show will start at 8:30.

I odoy's Sport Parade

Olin Dutra and Jimmy Thomson cooperated. Nelson and Snead. the games two leading money winners, even are going to play a two-day 72-hole match listed as for the worlds championship with all pro- ceeds to go to the rehabilitation fund.
 The thousands of letters which these golfers received after their visits made them feel that it was well worth their while. It has be- come the No. item on the PGA program. Snead and Nelson won't get a cent in their championship tournament but they know that they will be aiding a cause that can't be expressed in terms of money.
 The PGA, which has done all right in the war effort in other ways = it has raised more than $2OO,OOO for the various war chari- ties--also is proud of the 47O mem- bers which it has in the armed services. One of them, Ben Hogan. has started a nation wide tour of hospitals to help set up the PGA rehabilitation program in those places it has not yet reached.
