Cards Rate AS Biggest Flops
Of Grapefruit Circuit Pla,
Highly Touted St. Louis
Team Had Not Won ANY
As OF Tuesday
BY CARL LUNnQUIST
United Press Sports Writer

NEW YORK, March 13.-WH-
The st. Louis Cardinals may be one
of the most overwhelming pennan
favorites in history, but they are
strictly the lemons of the Citru:
circuit, a checkup of major league
training competition revealed to
day.
The rollicking Red Birds, over
loaded with talent in every de
partment, have gotten off to a sac
start and are in 10th place in the
unofficial Citrus standings with nc
victories and four defeats in majo1
league competition through March
IL. t
The New York Yankees, who
are solid favorites to win the Ameri.
can League pennant have been
playing more true to form and
lead the parade with four straight
major lltraurnphs and no defeats.
Moreover, the Yankees, VINO got
the Jump on other clubs with pre-
liminary conditioning and compe-
tition in Panama, have an overall
record OF ~ victories and three
defeats.
The Yankees have the Cards to
thank for their high position. They
made clean sweep of their bally'
hooed world series 'preview," de-
feating St. Louis three straight
times, then hit their peak with a II
to 1 victory over the current Worlc
Champion Detroit Tigers.
The Tigers have been almost as
woebegone as the Cardinals, witt
only one victory to show agalns'
four defeats in major league play
The Tigers have also dropped
games to Washington, Cincinnati
and Cleveland and won their only
game from the Senators.
Another topsy-turvy aspect Of the
standing is the high position o
the Cincinnati Reds and Philadel
phia Phillies, co-choices in the win
| ter book for last place in the Ma
tional League. The Reds, with tn
Yankees, are the only other unbeat
en- team and have won from tn
Indians and Tigers. The Phillies
who definitely aren't playing il
mid-season (for them) form hav
won three and lost one, turning il
two victories over the Bostol
Braves and one over the Brooklyl
dodgers. The Braves handed then
their only defeat.
The St. Louis Browns lead tn
four teams in the Pacific Coas
division of the ''fruit loop wit
three victories and two defeat
in five games with the pittsburgh
Pirates. The Pirates also divides
two game series with the Chica
20 White Sox for a record of thre'
wins and four losses. The Chicago
Cubs, training at Santa Catalin'
island thus far haven't met an.
major league opposition, the onl.
club to date which hasn't played.
Only two other clubs are abov'
the 500 mark, the Cleveland In
dams with two victories and ont
defeat and the Braves with three

Brogden, and Davis and Players
Mickey, Collie, Fennell, Brown

Playing in the Duke-Durham
Southern Invitational tournament,
for the first time, the Wildcats will
find they have tough assignment
ahead of them as they face a select
field of seven top-ranki1g Southern
high school quintets.
The tournament in past years
has proven, however, that reputa.
tons and newspaper clippings are
excess baggage once the Hard
Wooders get down to actual tourna-
ment play.
In 1941, lightly considered Roose-
welt High Of Washington, D. c.,
slipped the experts a Micky Finn
by winning the event after Green
vile, S. c., and John Marshall had
been touted to win the tourney.
Durham. High was the favorite in
1912, the last year the event was
held, but Burgin, KY, crew came
out of the hills to upset the Tobacco
City five.
However, Durham does hold the
record Of having won the tourna-
ment two years in succession. The
Bulldogs walked off with the event
in 1889 and 1910.
This years tourney field is one
of the strongest ever assembled.
Southern High of Baltimore, al
though not seeded, brings the best
record of the tourney to Durham.
The Baltimorians have played %
games this season and have walked
off the floor, victors in %.
Durham, Greenville, and Thomas
jefferson have been defeated only
twice in competition this season,
while Grenville, Frankfort and Cal
vim Coolidge have been beaten
three times. That leaves the Wild
cats with the most defeats of any
tourney entry, four in rs games.
However, the Wilmington team does
hold a victory over Durham.
The pairings for the tourney
promises action all through the
two days Of play.
The tourney opens with the South
Carolina State champs, Greenville
playing Thomas Jefferson of Rich
nrond, at 9 Friday morning. The
Second-Seeded Calvin Coolidge five
of Washington play the Wildcats at
10: 80. At noon, Durham meets the
Frankfort of Kentucky whic
comes to the tournament with the
backing Of several Blue Grass
sports editors. Durham, is of
course, the present champion of
the North Carolina Class A cage
circle. Southern of Baltimore
boasting the best record of the
meet meets the top seeded CRANKY
cagers Of Norfolk il what should
be the feature game of the opening
round at 1880.
Friday night the four semi-final-
lists play with the winner of the
Wilmington Coolidge game meeting
the victor of the DurhamFrankfor
struggle at 1880 with the winning
teams of the Granby-Southern af-
fair and the Greenville- Thomas JEFF
ferson match squaring off at 8
Friday night.
On Saturday the losers of the
Friday semifinalists play for the
consolation prize while the cham
pioassip Of the tournament is to
be decided at 9 pm.

Pitcher Mossor Holds Viii.

BY EDWARD SACHS

Willie the Duke, Clinton manager
and leftfielder, put on his act last
inigat-the one where he drives a
baseball over the right-field fence,
and a guy named Mossor, whose
first name remains a mystey held
the Pirates to five hits to give the
Clinton Blues a 10 to 4 victory over
the Wilmington Pirates.
Dukes hit, a towering fly which
passed from sight over the right
field fence about 800 feet from
home plate was the clincher of
the game. Before Duke did his
work there was q slight chance
that the Pirates might come back
to win.
The Blues opened festivities off
the pitching of Roy Lamb with two
runs in the first, Willie driving in
a run with a single. They got
another run in the second when
McClintok bounced a low liner into
left field and made the circuit be-
fore the pellet vas regained by the
Bucs.
In the meantime, the Pirates had
scored a run on Strickland's single
with Cullen on board.
The Blues added three runs in
the fifth but the Pirates came back
with three. McClintok and Strick-
land doing the heavy bat work for
their respective teams.
1t was in the eighth that Clinton
sewed up the ballgame. Smith
singled and rested while Larrieu
was flying out to Jimmie Fox.
Then Willie Duke Dashed his home
run and another run scored on an
outfield. fly.
The BUGS will attempt to curb
Mr.. Duke this evening when they

Immediately boarded two buses
for home where they are scheduled
to play the Chicago Cubs Friday
night.
Kiner started taking charge of
the ball game when he polished
off a 5-run demonstration in the
first inning by hitting Tommy
Hughes for a circuit smash with
the bases filled. In the third, he
doubled off Ike Pearson to launch
a two-run sortie in the seventh
led off with a home run off Dick
Mauney.
Edison Bahr, right hand rookie
formerly of the Kansas City Blues
and making his first start in the
majors, held the Pills to eight
hits, one a home run by Pearson.
Manager frankie Frisch, famed
as n of the National Leagues

evicted from the game in the sew

been sent to the showers this year.
Umpire George Magerkurth waved
Frisch from the field after the

ously to some called balls.

The first step in the days con-
fusing developments found Infielder
Lou Klein, Pitcher Fred Martin
and Lanier, accompanied by Ber-
nardo Pasquel, vice-president Of
the Mexican baseball league, ap-
plying for permits to visit Mexico.
The permits yer issued by the
Mexican government tourist bur
eau.
Pasuuel then took the three ath-
letes to see his attorney, Jerome
S. Hess, who advised them to re-
turn the permits. Frank Rashap, a
spokesman for Hess, said later
that the action was taken to main
tain the status quo'' in litigation
between the Mexicans and organlz-
ed baseball.
Although there had been no legal
action by the Cardinal owners, a
trial is pending on the New York
Yankees request for a permanent
injunction against the Pasquels and
their agents. The New York Giants
and Brooklyn Dodgers have taken
similar action to halt 'tampering'
with their PLAYERS.
Manager Eddie Dyer and Presi-
dent Sam Breadon of the Cards
expressed complete surprise when
Lanier, Klein and Martin failed to
show in the st. Louis club house
before the game.

that the players had returned their
permits he said he was willing to
welcome them back to the fold if
