Louis DeCriStoforo, the South End Bearcat of 1920 or so, who has given up the gridiron for handbau in recent years, was never as busy on field or court, as he is these days getting his new cab company rolling smoothly; for, after 25 years as an employe, he is now an em- ployer.

Assault Even
 For Preokness

Baltimore, Md, May 11-(UP)- Assault, who learned to run on the King Ranch of Texas, went out today to do what his daddy did 10 years ago and the betting was even money that he would do it.
 He was after a Preakness victory and its Black-Eyed Susans- sand the $100,12O that would go to his owner as the winner of the richest gross purse in American turf history.
 The winner of the Kentucky Derby at Louisville last Saturday. which put $97 400 in the cash box was in on rain check. He was 8 supplementary entry for this 56th annual running of the $1OO,OO0- added Preakness stakes and had his owner, Robert J. Kleberg, not seen fit to risk 5000 before last April 15, Assault would not be out there this afternoon competing against 10 other horses.
 Ended Ventures Days
 His dad, Bold Venture, back in the pre-war world, came to Pimlico from the Derby and won the Freak ness. That turned out to be the end of Bold Ventures racing days, for he broke down soon after and was retired to stud. Assault has chance to better his pappy's record if he wins today. Then it will be two down and one to go for the turf's triple crown, which only Sir Barton, Gallant Fox, Omaha, War Admiral, Whirlaway and Count Fleet have won.
 Six of the ten horses he will have to beat today to win the second leg toward turf's triple crowr-the Bel mont Stakes betting the third-are among those who followed him home in the Run for the Roses.

Crosby Track enWnners
by WIN MALONEY

The Crosby Track and Field Squad, coming through strong in the field events, defeated Sacred Heart, 791a to 241a, in one of the first intra-city track meets to be held in more than 25 years, at the Municipal Stadium, yesterday after noon. Although the East End com- bine showed very favorably in the running events, by taking f1rsts in the mile, the half and quarter miles, they were no match for Warren Randall and Jimmy Latimer, Crosby co-captainS, in the field events or short sprints.
 In the mile, which was perhaps the timeliest event of the day, Pup Doolan and Doc" Quinn, Sacred Heart nlilers, kept well ahead of their local rivals in the first three laps, while on coming into the home stretch Virgilio Vincent, the dim inutive Crosby miler closed the gap and outshot Quinn but was unable to outdo Doolan who gave it every- thing in the last few lengths. Doo- lan's time in the mile was 5:O7.5, which outdid Quinn's winning time in Litchf1eld, by seven seconds. The other two firstS won by the Sacred Heart combine were the quarter mile. in which Georgie Costello came in first while George Guilfoile, first in the half mile run, in which carey of Sacred Heart was 8 close second.
 Stand0ut
 CroSby'S Jimmy Latimer scored 20 points by himself by taking first in the 100-yard dash for points, first in the 220 for 10 points, sec ond in the shotput for 13 points, first in the broad jump for IS points and ? points in the relay for 20 points and high individual scoring honors of the afternoon. Henry Tierney of Crosby looks like a prom ising quarter miller if he can set his pace and give out more in the home stretch.
 More Action
 Crosby's next meet is with An- sonia next Wednesday here, while Sacred Heart will take on the Thomaston Track and Field Squad at the Municipal Stadium on Thursday afternoon at 3:15. Coach Al Napon is sure that his East End charges will show very favorably . against the Thomaston array.

Swing Band, Porode For '46 Inougur0I

The City Amateur Baseball league will make another attempt to get its 1946 campaign underway at Hamilton Park tomorrow afternoon with the same four-game slate ready for production that was washed out last weekend. Opening festivities will precede the two four o'clock games and will feature a parade of the players to the flabpole for the raising of the flag and the tossing of the first ball in the Trib- llne A. c. Franco tilt by Mayor John s. Monagan. Music by an 11-piece swing band will en- llven festivities throughout the af- ternoon.
 The baseball side of the program will be launched at 1:30 with two games, the Brooklyn A. c. and Avig- l:anese A.C. being scheduled for No. field while the Sacred Hearts and Florio Post tangle on No. 2. The Tribes get the feature spot at four o'clock on No. as they open the defense of their title against the neNiy-admitted Frances but the Washington Hills and Thomas Club contest No. 2 is expected to be one of the top attractions of the mat :nee.
 Umps Check In
 Supervisor of Empires Leno Cas- ttldo announced today that mem- bers of the umpiring staff will re- port to him at the park not later than 1.15. League umpireS besides CoStaldo are Charles Gerace, Paul Barone and Charles Guglielmo.
 A public address system will be used for the first time to inform the fans as to the identity of the players, many of whom are ex-serv- lcemen and will be playing their first City League ball in four years. Complete returns of the major league games will also be given by Rocco P. Mara who will be at the mike.
 It will be Presidents Day" and past presidents including Harry X. Cashin, Ray Tram, John Brickel, Joe Brophy, George Casey, Atty. Frank Summa and Bill Derwin have been invited to participate in the festivities attending the opening, it was announced by Pres. Cliff Mc- Hale today.
 Larry St. Louis, well-known west end business man and the voice of Firestone in Waterbury, will once again back the defending champion Tribune A. c. to the hilt. Last September he raised most of g, 100 within a weeks time, which was used to send the Tribes to the na- tional tournament at Harrisburg.
 The champs, incidentally, figure they have one of the best batteries in the league in this city, with big John Lefty Pezzulo of Bridgeport and Bill Petrilas of Naugatuck set to start tomorrow against the Frances. Pezzullo, who is also a heavy-hitter, for 8 pitcher, showed his stuff in Waterbury last summer i. at Municipal Stadium, with the BrasscoS and Chance-Vought of Stratford.
 Franco-Americans have 3 o'clock practice session set for today at Hamilton Park, in final prepara- tion for their acid test with the Tribes. Paul Fournier has drawn the opening pitching assignment for the Frenchies and will have Benny Martel of Bristol receiving his slants. Manager 'Skeets" Le- Blanc has also signed Lefty Can- datore who has played first base with the Army All-Stars.

Post College Club Edges
 Hearts, 2-1

A one run tally in the eighth inning by the Post College combine broke up 8 pitching duel between Posts Freddy Palomba and Sacred Hearts Bob McAree, and gave Post @ 3 to decision over the East Finders. McAree limited the Post boys to 8 hits over the nine inning route while Sacred Heart scored one run on five hits and five walks More than 100 spectators saw the Post College array coast to their third victory in as many starts at the Municipal Stadium yesterday afternoon.
 The one Post run scored in the fifth, on two errors charged against Fahy and Healy of Sacred Heart, and a hard hit single through shortstop by Ray Shove of the Grad combine The sides were then re- tired by McAree without any fur- ther aftermaths.
 Even Up
 The Hearts came back strong in the sixth stanza and evened matters up as Murphy's one base single, Bill Walsh's sacrifice and Healy's single scored the first East End run. Once again the game was deadlocked and 1t was a pitchers duel between Mo- Aree and Palomba until the eighth inning when the visiting array scored the deciding tally in a nip and tuck ball game. Walsh, besides sparkling the Sacred Heart offense all season with his extra base hits, looked like a Big Leaguer" in the field yesterday, after some of the shoesGring catches he executed. This was Posts second win in two days, as they defeated Crosby, 2 to 3 at the Stadium the day before.

 The great game at New York stole attention from the 15-inning 5 to 5 tie played between Wash ington and the Athletics in night game at Philadelphia. The curfew ended the game at a. m.
 Washington rallied twice to tie the score-at 3 to 3 in the sixth and to 4 in the ninth-and then took the lead at 5 to 4 in the top of the 18th when Bobo Newsom walked in run. But Hal Peck's double in the bottom of the 18th drove in pinch hitter Gene Hand- ley to tie the score again.
 Other American league teams were idle.
 Only one game was played in the National League. Brooklyn de- feated Boston, to 2, with 8 three run rally off Mort Cooper in the eighth inning. The Dodgers now trail the leading St. Louis Cards by only a half-game.
 Pittsburg at Chicago and Cincin- natl at St. Louis were rained out, and the other teams were not scheduled.

 Soccer Sunday
By JOHN A. CIUNEY

Perhaps the result may assuage some of our senators and congress men to the extent of voting for that three billion loan to Britain, and then again, it may turn out to be a "battle of Yorktown" on the field Of sport, but there is. unusual interest centered on the soccer match tomorrow at Randall's Island, where New York City's Tri- borough stadium is located. Sev- eral Waterbury players and ex- kickers will be among the crowd; which will also include several United Nations delegates.
 COntesting teams, the Uver- pool Football Club of England and the New York AII-Stars, a picked team, will kick off at 3:15 F. M.. The Eng1ishmen, ranging in age from 19 to 34 years of age, 17O-184 in weight were due in New York on the Queen Mary yes- terday and will stay at the st. George hotel in Brooklyn (Of all pIaces) where tho 16 players and
 six officials may get to meet some of ''Dem Buns" OrOr some of the fans who should get mu- tual enjoyment in the manner that the Kings English is kicked around by both sides.

 Several of the LIN delegates are keenly interested in Sundays bill because it will enable them to com- pare the soccer rules of their own country with the recently stream lined Americanized rules on sub stitutions. The first game between the Kearny Celtics and the Kearny Americans of the American Soccer League at 1:15 will be played under the new re-substitution rule which is designed to speed up the game.
 International rules, which are opposed to substitutiors, will pre- vail in the Liverpool contest which opens the British teams American tour. These same rules in effect in practically all the nations repre- sented at the LIN Conference since soccer is the national sport in those countries.
