Denver Fives
Bid for Eighth Duel
In National Final
BY the Associofsd Press

DENVER, Mar. PIT began to
sound like the same song, eighth
verse, today as the National AAU
basket ball tournament approached
climax with the four teams left.
two Of them the Phillips 66 Oilers Of
Oklahoma and Denver Ambrose.
For . decade these rivals have
considered the national champion
ship just q private matter between
themselves.
Phillips will meet Hollywood Goth
Century-Fox and Denver will oppose
the San Diego Dons tonight in the
semifnals.
II both win, it will be the eighth
time in 10 years they have met for
the AAU title. Phillips has taken the
championship home to Bartlesville
four times and Denver has taken it
three times.
Phillips reached the semifnals
last night as Jimmy Scat" McNatt
led them to 54-35 victory over the
Miramar Pendleton Marines Of
Oceanside, Calf.
Denver, hitting 20 consecutive
shots from the free throw line, took
a 56-49 decision from the Phillips
Lee Tires.
In other quarterfnal games, the
San Diego Dons won fiercely-con-
tested verdict from the San Fran
cisco Dardis, 4l-35, and Hollywood
knocked over the ice-cold Salt Lake
City Simplot-Deserets, 1922.

Tribe Not in Flag Race,
Pilot Boudreau Says

CLEARWATER, Fla, Mar. o.
Dismissing his own Cleveland In
dams with a very few words, mainly
concerning their lack of punch at
the plate, Manager Lou Boudreau
predicts that New York, Detroit and
Boston will put on merry scrap
for the American League title.
I'VE won't be in it this year"
he said. We'll have good pitching,
but you've got to have hitting to
go with it. The three top clubs
have both, and that includes the
Yanks."
In Bobby Feller, Allie Reynolds,
Steve Gromek and Charley Embree,
the Indians possess a tour-man
pitching staff probably second to
none in the game, and in Boudreau
himself they still nave a fine short
stop who hits over 300. But after
that they taper off rapidly.

Haw|ey, Coach Of Grid
A|I-Americas, Dies

ORLANDO, Fla, Mar. az P.-
Jess B. Hawley, So, whose 1925 Dart
mouth football team claimed the
national championship and who also

ORLANDO, Fla, Mar. GA
strange sort of surgery will be per-
formed by Manager Ossie Bluege
Of the Mats. He will be forced
to WELD the scalpel on Washing
tons pitching staff, but Ossie still
hasn't calculated where he'll make
the incision and cutting time will
roll around in 10 days.
Washington's pitching staff may
be determined by the process Of
elimination, but thus far Bluege
hasn't been able to depend on it.
He is equipped with Is pitchers who
figure to make 1t tough for him
in that some of them are recog-
nized regulars, some are promising
rockies and others are veterans who
still may be smart enough to be
valuable.
Certain to stick with the Mats
are Sid Hudson, Walter Masterson,
Dutch Leonard, Roger Woif, Mickey
Haefner, Marino Pieretti and Rae
Scarborough. Who to choose from
the remaining eight pitchers on
the team poses a problem. Lou
Bevilacqua and Gaspar Del Monte
do not enter the problem as they
already are slated for shipment.
Brunke Handicapped in Work.
There is Larry Brunke with an
amazing ISL record compiled at
Chattanooga last. season, but Larry
hasn't seen much action this spring.
just when he was revealing his
finest form he was socked on the
head by thrown bail and hasn't
been able to work out since. Hes
a good pitcher, Bluege feels, but
he hasn't had an opportunity to
gauge his real worth.
Johnny Niggeling virtually is GER
tain Of sticking, despite his 40 years.
He's clever pitcher who could boost
the Mats stock considerably in
hurting only once a week. He had
an operation which seemingly has
cured a stomach ailment which
plagued him for years and he's a
smart hurler who knows the weak
nesses of the leagues hitters.
Pete Appleton also is 40, but he
gave the Mats some neat pitching
last season and he's been displaying
fine form in spring training. Pete
has been around long time and
still tucks cunning in his repertoire.
He's old, as pitchers go, but he's
hard to eliminate of what he's
shown in Cuba and Florida.
Kennedy Impresses Bluege.
ROLAND Miller gave the Dodgers
one hit and no runs in a three
inning effort the other day, while
Make Wilson has impressed Bluege
as smart operator Bill Lefebvre
has shown Bluege some pert pitch
ing and Ossie likes him, too, because
he can step to the plate as a pinch
hitter with no apologies.
But the most impressive pitcher
against the Dodgers on Wednesday
was Bill Kennedy, a southpaw with
stylish motion. Bill, a former
student at st. Johns, Gonzaga and
George Washington High of Alex
andria. allowed the Dodgers one
hit in four innings, walked none and
behaved well in general.
Toss in Vernon Curtis, a S25, 900
right-hander, who also has been
throwing effectively, and there's
stew that only Bleuge can digest.
Bluege is figuring on carrying II,

Crawford, Foe Of Bell,
After Garden Dates

Bo Bregnan, manager of Jackie
Crawford, promising District heavy
weight who fights Jimmy Bell, an
other District boy, in the nine-round
feature event on Monday night at
Uline Arena, will visit New York
next week to confer with Promoter
Mike Jacobs and Matchmaker Nat
Rogers regarding further Madison
Square Garden bookings.
Crawford, winner of eight straight
fights, has shown well in the Garden
with victories over Al Blake and
Oscar Goode. Bregnan emphasizes,
however, that he is not getting tied
up with Jacobs in such a manner
that Crawford can't work in other
cities as we'll.
Bregnan also says he has turned
down three recent offers by other
managers to buy Cranford's con-
tract.
Despite Cranfords record, Bell is
being quoted as rs favorite for
Mondays fight as he will have the
edge in both weight and experience
and in addition is a clever and sharp
