him off to Bobanet Stable |. Apprentice Don Padgett, who rode his first winner less than a year ago at Charlestown will be up and, if he wins the Churchill Downs classic, will be the first apprentice to score since Era Hanford pulled the trick with Bold Venture in 1886.
 Don Yates, trainer of Jobar, started in the business six years ago with two $500 horses Jobar probably won't win for Yates but it's quite 8 come uppance |. There's plenty Of speed in this race, with 5uch sprinters as Hamp- den, Spy Song and Rippey. Hamp- den has plenty, for in the Chesa- peake inside of two furlongs-from the half to the three quarter post he opened up IS lengths on the rest of the field Perfect Bah ram may show all of these speed horses something. His job appar- ently is to step out in front and kill off the speed horses while Knockdown and Lord Boswell pace themselves for that long stretch run. The funny part is that Per feet Bahram has only started twice and, in winning them both never was headed. He went out and stayed out. He might do that this time too, for nobody knows what he car do at mile and quarter and he might hold up
 Only half of the probable | starters are eligible for next week ends Preakness at Baltimore Knockdown, Lord Boswell, Alamont and Rippey were original entrie and s,.pplementals at 5000 eacl are Marine Victory, Hampden, As sault and Wee Admiral here one you probably didn't know. Tn infield posts along the inside of tn track are spaced one length apar to make it easier to judge the dis tance between runners
 As for the track 1t looks like tn spot where Isaac Walton caugh three trout instead of the plac Isaac Murphy rode three winners If the rain keeps up they coult make fortune with a trolling con cession at the eighth pole -. it. sloppier than the counter of a 19l soda fountain they're off!

 Louisville, Ky, May 4.-Paddock batter as they run for the roses at Churchill Downs today.
 Maine Chance Farm, with the three top horses in the Derby, can't afford to take any chances even If it runs one. two, three. For II one of the entry should be dis qualified in such 8 case all three would be eliminated-giving top money to the fourth horse |. '. which prevents any stable from using one or two as blocking backs for the third stablemate.
 No horse ever has been disquali- fled in the Derby, however, as once in the Kings Plate where an en- try took win, place and show only to have all thrown out. There was one rugged run for the juleps though. That was the stretch whip battle when Don Meade on Brok- CTS Tip outrode and out-belted Harry Fischer on Head Play in 1883 the payoff was that Brok- CTS Tip was a maiden then-and never won another race afterwards
 Marine Victory would pain two other owners if he won today. Colo Stream Stud discarded him because it thought he had crooked legs. Will liam Helis, the buyer, followed sui for the same reason and pawnec

 Jack Arlsast stronq

Boston, May {. (UP)-For the third time in two years, Slick Sal Bartolo of New York has success fully defended his NB.A. feather. weight crown by knocking out vet eran Jack (Spider) Armstrong of Toronto, Ont, in slightly less than six rounds of their scheduled l5- round boxing bout at Boston Gar den.
 Before 7.Sl4 delighted fans last night, Bartolo stabbed away with rapier-like left hand until 2:22 minutes of the sixth round. Then he barraged his elderly opponent along one side of the ring and chopped him down with 8 series of righthand SuaaShes.
 Armstrong tried his best to be a worthy challenger. But he was un- able to cope with the slashing at- tack of the 20-year-old champion. It was Bartolos fight virtually from start to finish and only in the fourth round did Armstrong ap- pear to have a slight edge.

array; while the North End Thomas Club, out of action last year will be back in the fold, sched- uled to cross bats with the Wash ington Hill entry at S:45 on No. 2 diamond. Up to @ few years ago, the North End Tommies were con- Sistent winners, three-time league champions but have not been in action during recent years, due to the war, lack of sufficient interest and the added fact that the Avig- lianese A. C., also from the north end section, has had strong club in the league during the past two or three years. This season, the picture has changed considerably for the north end has two teams in the league to compare with the two Baldwin St. entries, Tribunes and Washington Hills who always manage/to get a good club on the field, regardless of conditions.
 Within the past week, the de- lending champion Tribunes be- came a sudden question mark, as to whether or not the lower Bald win St. sports and social organ ization would be represented; but a minor difficulty has been re- moved with Bobby Greatorex re- placing Harry Melvin as coach; Greatorex also to play at second base, while the team manager. 'Packy" Shea has reconsidered his resignation and will be on hand for the season to handle business mat ters of the team. The Tribes have been reported as having signed John Gefty) Pezzulo of Bridgeport, a big, strong southpaw, also a handy man with a bat, who can break up ball game at any time. Pezzulo is well-known to Dav1 Brassco fans of last season, having pitched for and against them, the latter job as a 1noundsman for the Chance-Vought Flyers of StratIoro Youngsters Get Chance

Mexican Money Seeks Yonk Stars

New York, May 4.-UP)-The Mexican League baseball represen- tative in New York was in the open today, identified as Bernardo Pasquel, 8 vice-president of the the league, who said he wouldn't go home until he signs New York Yankee star and gets back the S5,OOO which he says Vern Ste- phens of the St. Louis Browns owes him.
 Pasquel, one of the five brothers who own the league, said he had been in town fort wo weeks and had talked to several Yankees, chief among them shortstop Phil Rizzuto, who was offered $100,000 for three years, and infielder George Stirn- weiss. Both refused but Pasquel was undiscouraged. Other reports hinted that Spud Chandler, star Yankee pitcher, was another player who might jump to Mexico.
 The Mexican had no comment on the offers being made to Pete Reiser of the Brooklyn Dodgers at St. Louis, or on the reported signing by his league of Stan Rojek, reserve Dodger infielder.
 Reiser was said to have been of- fered 8 bonus of $20,000 or $25, ,O0O and $15,000 year for five years Roiek reportedly got $10DO0 bonus and 5000 per year. Reiser signed with the Dodgers for 5000 this sea- son and Rojek for about $4,50O.
 ''I'll have some very startling news within three or four days, Pasquel said, adding that he had been a frequent visitor to Yankee ball games. T won't leave unto I sign one of the more important Yankee stars. We have other rep- lesentatives all over the country and we'll get 15 or 20 top notch stars.

Hearts Topple Seymour 8-4
Especial to The Dem1ocrat)

Seymour, May 3.-Today's base ball game with Seymour High was worth while waiting for, after the first two games of the season sched- uled for Sacred Heart High of Wa terbury had to be postponed be- cause of bad baseball weather. Though outhit, 9 to 8, the Brass City club doubled the score on Sey- mour, winning 8-4, getting mark CT in the first inning, but trailing 1-3 in the fourth inning. Three runs in the fifth, including a two run tally from Gearyis three-bag- ger and three runs in the sixth de- cided the game in favor of Coach Roy Murphy's lads. Walsh, Skelly, and Murphy were the best of the Heart hitters; Howard and Miller getting two hits apiece for Seymour. CrAPo.

A great many haseballs have been thrown to the batters and hit to the outneld since the Washing ton Hill Cardinals first won a City Amateur league pennant back in 1923; but the boys, most of them of the newer" generation, plus a few "old timers" are ready and willing to take their cut" once again.
 The general result of the annual spring roundup of players will be presented tomorrow afternoon at Hamilton Park, when eight City Amatuer League teams, will go to bat in the twenty third year of league organization, starting the 1946 season amid natural and col. orful surroundings including a parade of players, officials, coaches and managers to the flagpole for the traditional raising of the colors and recognition of the 1945 win ners from the Tribune Athletic Club.
 Mayor John s. Monagan has sent word that he will personally be on hand for a throwing of the first" ball to officially start the season, though he will not strike a Bob Teller stance until the feature Tribune A. c. vs. Franco-American Club game is ready to start on schedule, about 3:45 p. m. Prior to that, two games will be played, starting at 1:30 p. m., the Brook 1 lyn A. c. to meet the 1914 cham pion Aviglianese A. c. team and the Sacred Hearts vs. Florio Post squad on No. and No. 2 diamonds at Hamilton Park.

Ex-Cards Click For PiLs and Boston BraUes

New York, May 4-UP-When New York dominated the Amer ican League the suggested remedy was to break up the Yankees, but the National League may solve its looming problem by expanding the Cardinals.
 Three teams now have a Redbird look, and if the St. Louis farm system and cash register continue to operate in the fashion approved by Sam Breadon the league sone- day may have eight teams made up of Cards or ex-CardS, all playing speedy, hell-for-leather baseball, with the logical result-an eight team tie at the end of the season.
 Rain yesterday washed out the battle between the Brooklyn Dodg- CTS and the original Cardinals for the league lead, but the Philadel- phia Phils looked like satisfying fac-simile of the flag favorites.
 Jurisich Blanks Elm
 The Phils beat the Cincinnati Reds, to o, and it was an ex- Cardinal day. Al Jurisich, right handler bought by the PhilS from the Cards during the Spring, pitched the four hit shutout. Emil Verban, second baSeman acquired by the Phils from the Cards in a trade on Wednesday, worked Black well for 8 walk to open the seventh inning, stole second and scored on . hit by John Wyrostek, bought from the Cards two months ago.
 Boston's Braves, the third of the Cardinal clubs, didn't do SO well, losing to the Pittsburgh Pirates, 3 to 2. However, Boston is in third place in the league, 50 little fault can be found with the work ot Manager Billy Souta1worth, Out fielder Johnny Hopp, Pitcher Mort Cooper and First Baseman Ray Sanders-all former Cardinals.
 Two errors hurt the Braves. The first pebble put Lee Handley on first base and an error by Garden Gillenwater on single let Handley come all the way around to score the winning run. It was John Sains first loss after three pitch- ing victories. Ken Heintzelman gave up five hits in winning his third game.
 Bill Nicholson, batting .143 as the game started, singled in the lone run as the Chicago Cubs edged the New York Giants, to O. New York threatened in the ninth and loaded the bases with one out bringing Hi Bithorn to the rescue of Johnny Schmit1, and Bithorr whipped third strikes past Babt Young and Bill Rigney.
 The American League becami even more of two-team affair al the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees both won, the Red Sol over Cleveland and the Tanks ovel Detroit. St. Louis Browns, in thirc place, now are three and one-hal1 games behind second-place New York, which trails Boston by two
 Boston made 12 hits, including homers by Ted Williams and Rudy York, in beating the Indians, g tt {. Mickey Harris won his fourtl pitching victory without defeat.

Soccer and softball will be well- established Wilby High school sports within the mt too far dis tant future; because of the de- creaslng boy registration at the commercial school, with the girls sure to have prominent part in the softball competition, judging from informal games already played. The next time Long Tom Murphy's Reindeers decide to play softball, it's board of strategy may select some opposi- ti0n little more even than the Patsy Brown Kennel Club, recent 27-O winners over the Reindeers, shoes. John VanderMeer Lawlor, on the mound for the Kennels is unofhcially credited with 16 strike outs, though Coach Murphy was the real reason for the Reindeers' downfall, because of dreaming up a set of hit and run signals that were about as effective as 8 wet firecracker, according to Red Moran, the Kennel Club triple tA44C2b 4lAA1C10C4s II bk4E JCdAAA0 4AACCN again, Jimmy Noonan will pitch for the Kennel Club, just to give the Reindeers halfa-chance to finish the game.

 Race track business must be good in Boston, specially at Suf- folk Downs, which was built at a cost of $2,7OO, 900 some 13 years ago, and is now worth more than S7,OOO,OOO with stock that sold for $10O 2 share in March now worth $500 a share. A new set of owners headed by William Helis, the Golden Greek" of New Orleans and the Pappas brothers of Boston will take over today, as they bid $3,6OO,OOO this week to get controlling interest of s. D. stock Incidentally, look for Helis, lavish spender when it comes to horses, to increase the Massa- chusetts Handicap stake from $5O,OOO to $1OO.OOO just for the sake of having race to equal in value) the Kentucky Derby and Santa Anita Handicap; for Helis is the man who paid $66,0OO for . horse that did not get to the post for more than a year after the sale; but won his first race about 10 days ago. |. Johnny DeVitO, the baseball an- cient with some 20 years local experience, and who had one of his greatest seasons with the Brasscos last year, is expected to be in the Tribune A. c.
