INDIANAPOLIS, May 8.-The %

motor speedway race when their
demands for $3.50 900 purse instead
of $4,000 were rejected, probably

So Well Balanced
BY Burton Hawkins
sior s,off Correspondent

DETROIT, May 8.-Ossie Bluege
has had feeting glimpse Of every
club in the American League and
has cleaned the impression that
the pennant fuss will be a bitter
battle all the way, with his Mats
in the thick of it. "We can take
| it ali" says Ossie, who several weeks
ago might have been sought by
white-coated guards eager to meas
ure him for a. straightjacket for
risking that prediction.
Don't get me wrong" says Os-
sic. Boston and New York are
the teams to beat, but neither win
make a runaway of the race. They
can be defeated and We could be
the club to do 1t. The Yankees and
Red Sox are having their troubles
and I don't believe those troubles
will be of a temporary nature.
Joe Cronin apparently is get
ting little panicky already by
shifting Johnny Pesky to third base
to make room for Eddie Pellagrini
at si1ortstop. Boston has the best
outf1eld in the league in Ted Will
liams, Dom Di Maggie and Sam
Melee, but the Red Sox catching is
weak and they might be short on
pitching.
Big Chance for Hot Club.
Detroit has the best pitching
staff-at least the best four starters
but the Tigers catching isn't too
hot and Eddie Mayo isn't moving
around much at second base. Like
us, they haven't much reserve
strength, but they'll be tough, be-
cause they'll get good pitching. Also
fike us, they can't afford any in
juries to their regulars.
George McQuinn is playing
great ball for the Yankees at first
base, but there's some doubt If he'll
hold up physically all year. After
all, he's pretty old. George Stirn-
weiss isn't the batting threat he
used to be and neither Joe Di
Maggie or Charley Keller is clicking
as he can.
Chicago will get good pitching,
st. Louis has enough power to
make it rough on everybody, Cleve-
land is improved and so is Phila-
delphia. This isn't going to be
easy for any team. The club that
gets hot will win it and we might
be that club.
"We haven't been sensational 50
far, but I'm inclined to look at
that optimistically because we're
only couple of games off the pace.
Sid Hudson and Tom Ferrick have
been our only consistent pitchers
and Buddy Lewis has been doing
most of our hitting. still we're in
the thick of things.
Ferrick Seen Great Help.
"Ferrick's presence means a lot
to us. I've used him three times
In relief and he hasn't permitted
run. We haven't had that sort
of relief pitcher in years. Early
Wynn has has won a couple Of
games, but he hasn't reached his
peak.
Mickey Haefner and Bobo New
som haven't shown anything yet,
but they should win. Walter Mas

Associated Press SPORTS Writer

BALTIMORE, May g. Double
Jay, the second best 2-year-old OF
1916 but q sad failure in the Derby
was definitely withdrawn today from
the field for Saturdays Preakness.
His owners, James M. Boynes and
James Tigany Of Wilmington, Del.
who posted q 5000 entry fee tc
make Double Jay supplemental
eligible for the Preakness after
nominations closed, made their de-
cision after q veterinarian inspected
the colt.
They said the medical man had
found Double Jays legs to be per-
fectly sound, but that he .appar-
emily was "overworked and rur
down."
Boynes and Tigany disclosed they
would send Double Jay to Delaware
Park for two or three weeks OF rest
and then would start training him
again for the summer stakes. But
the Jaybird was out for certain from
both the Preakness and Belmont
Stakes.
The field was further reduced this
morning with announcement by
Trainer Charles w. Shaw that
Mityme, owned by Mr.. and Mrs
John S. Bromley Of Philadelphia,
would not be q starter.
Mityme won two straight stakes
during the current Pimlico meeting,
the last one the Survivor Stakes
day before yesterday. Shaw said
that the Preakness was too close to
that last race.
Withdrawal of Double Jay and
Mityme left a field Of IL probable
starters. only one Of which, Uncle
Remus, remained a doubtful starter,
and another, Secnav, to run only If
the track is fast.
Double Jay, who ran next to last
In the Derby, was bought by Boynes
and Tigany for $4,000 and last year
won $3.50. taking 6 of his 10 starts
and never finishing out of the
money.

Yesterdays big breeze, mis-

ing In the Georgetown George
Washington fracas at Griffith

today they are strictly artificial.
But any temptation to poke
fun 1.-The athletes was subdued
by the unhappy recollection of
decade ago when, after witness
ing some ragged fielding at the
Hilltop. we dubbed the team the
Hilarious Hoyas." It was sup
posed to be a light, witty piece,
but Coach Ralph Mccarthy,
himself a former Georgetown
star, failed to see the humor of
it. In fact, only shortage of
bats saved us from having one
busted over our head.
Material was scarce that sea-
son and the boys, erratic and
bumbling though they were. at

for alma mater. But the crusher
was that one was marked for
death, given less than a year to

Less than year later he was
dead. Mccarthy made no ex-
cuses for his team and the play
ers offered no alibis for their
miscues. They did their best
and did not merit the unjust
criticism.

Braves Begin 10 CIicL
As Earlier Optimism
OF Pirates Fades
By Joe ReiehIer
Assoeioisd Press Sports Writer

Baseball market note:
Boston Braves securities firrned
after shaky start, Pittsburgh Pirates
investments uncertain after earlier
optimistict outlook.
Translating market page rparlance
into sports page lingo, the above
would mean that Earl Torgeson,
rookie first baseman from Seattle
who cost the Braves 100000 finally
has begun to deliver after a poor
getaway.
On the other hand, Pitchers Kirby
Higbe and Hank Behrman and
Catcher Dixie Howell, three-fifths
of the $780, 900 purchase from Brook
lyn, who were expected to make first
division f1nishers of last years
seventh-place Pittsburgh club, have
disappointed thus far.
Greenberg on Sidelines.
In addition, the Bucs faced the
prospect today of losing their great
slugger, Hank Greenberg, for at
least two weeks. The former Amer
lean League home run king, who
went to the Pirates last January,
is en- route to New York to have an
injured elbow treated by a specialist.
X-rays revealed bone chips.
Hank did not play last night as
the Braves squeezed out a 80 de-
cision over the Pirates when Torge-
son drove out an eighth inning home
run to break "a tie. 1t was the
second homer in two nights and
fourth of the season for the Nor
wegian-American youngster from
Snohomish, Wash, the town that
produced Earl Averill who starred
for years in the American League
The victory enabled the Braves
to break a second-place deadlock
with the Chicago Cubs. They now
trail the National League-leading
Dodgers by one game.
The nasty weather which stopped
all other scheduled day games al
most hurt the chances of the World
Champion st. Louis Cardinals. But
the rain let up long enough for the
Redbirds to defeat the Dodgers 81
in thrilling battle at Ebbets Field.
Moore's Homer Provides Margin.
A home run by Terry Moore with
one on in the seventh provided the
of victory for Howie Pollet.
The slender southpaw walked eight
and gave up nine hits, but four
double plays, two of which he started
saved him. Vic Lombardi
gave up only three of the Cards
four hits and deserved a better fate.
Dick Fowler's tight pitching and
a two-run homer by Hank Majeski
helped the Philadelphia Athletics
dispose of last place to the st. Louis
Browns as the AS whipped the
Browns 6-1 in the American Leagues
first night game of the season.
The scheduled games between the
Cubs and Phillies in Philadelphia
was postponed by rain and wet
grounds as was the contest between
Cincinnati and the Giants at New
York. In the American League, cold
weather halted the New York YAM
KEGS at Cleveland. Rain prevented
the Boston Red Sox from making
their bow in Chicago.

|A's GIoafing Over Rise
From Cellar in May,
First Time in Years
By the Asxoeiated Press

ST. LOUIS, May s.-Al was Joy
In the camp of the Philadelphia
Athletics today as Connie Macks
chillun burst loose from their
perennial cellar mooring and be-
spectacled Bill Dietrich still reveled
in the light of his sweet revenge
The AS had to work after dark
to get Richard to open that cellar
door and show them the light Of
day. Big Dick Fowier-who In 1945
tossed no-hitter at the st. Louis
Browns and in 1916 topped the
Mound City crew in four Of six
starts-used the Brownies as the
stepping stone to what Connie Mack
hopes are bigger and better things
for the AS.
Great May for Mack.
It's the first May in many years
that the Athletics were out of the
American League cellar, to say
nothing of being only four games
out of first place. That Mack Is
not letting any grass grow under
his 84-year-old feet is evidenced by
the announcement Immediately
after last nights game that Phil
Marchildon. ace member of better
than average mound corps, will
chuck for the AS tonight.
The air still is dampish in the AS
environs and Owner-Manager Mack
wants to get up there where his boys
can breathe deeply.
The chestiest member of the new
As-seyenth place AS that isis
lanky Bill Dietrich, a bad boy with
the Chicago White Sox last year.
Dietrich has no qualms about dis
cussing his suspension and release
from the White Sox after a dis
ciplinary squabble with Manager Ted
Lyons.
Dietrich Happy Again.
"It all started after I suffered
a broken finger in going for hard
hit ball." Dietrich said.
"I was in no shape to pitch, and
when I went home the club accused
me of running out. Well / didn't,
and I couldn't even understand why
Ted took the attitude he did,"
And the fact the suspension cost
him $1,000 in salary checks didn't
add to Dietrich's affection for the
Chicago club. When he stepped out
on the Coniskey Park mound Tues
day, Bill had q score to settle.
And how he settled It'll
A five-l1it shutout that narrowed
the Chicagoan's first-place margin
over the second place Detroit Tigers
to half game was Dietrich's re-
venge. He stopped four-game Sox
winning streak and at the same
time ended an Athletic losing sketn
of the same number.
