Homer Record Looms
If National League
Continues lis Pace
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

Should the suddenly home run
conscious National League continue
anywhere near its present pace, Ford
Frick's loop will easily set a major
league record for four-baggers in a
single season.
Not since the early sos has the
senior circuit been so homer happy.
In Al games to date, National League
players have walloped SO for the dis
tance, a far better average than their
record-breaking season OF 1880 when
392 homers were hit. At this rate
the old league should top thousand
wnen the campaign ends September
%.
80 Homers in American.
In sharp contrast, the American
League, for years regarded as the
haven for heavy hitters, owns only
80 round trippers in as many games
It's best home run output was in 1910
when 883 were hammered.
With such a dearth of home runs
in the American League, naturally
the pitchers have had a holiday. Ten
hurlers have held their opponents
scoreless in the junior circuit, with
Cleveland's Bobby Feller and New
York's Allie Reynolds boasting two
shutouts apiece. National League
pitchers, on the other hand, have
twirled only five games in which
their opponents have failed to cross
the plate.
In yesterdays only scheduled game
in the big leagues, Detroit's Dizzy
Trout Joined the rapidly growing
list of shoutout fingers by blanking
the Indians in Cleveland, 80. The
Tiger righthander retired the side in
order in five of the nine inings and
drove in two Of the three Bengal
runs.
Trout Slams Home Run.
Trout rif1ed a pitch by Red EN-
bree for home run in the third
inning. His eighth-inning single
scored Pat Mullin with one of the
two Tiger runs that frame.
Following yesterdays rest for IA
of the 16 teams, the majors start

ity and made far fewer mistakes
than have often seen him make in

Complete plans for the match will
be announced early this week.

plans for the first annual Friends
School Interscholastic Tennis Tour
nament for girls May 10. Finals will

|Veiich Opposes View
OF Fans That Chief
Rival IS FauIhess
By Sid FEEDER
Assoeiuisd Press Sports Writer

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 29.-
Practically every one in Derbytown
today was saying that Phalanx was
the big" horse in Saturdays Ken
lucky Derby and Faultless was the
horse to bet to win the pot.
But Sylvester veitch, the collegiate
looking young fellow who trains
Phalanx, the favorite, has thrown in
his vote against Faultless as the
horse his Gentleman from vir-
ginia" has to worry about.
He is scared, he admits, of Jet
Pilot, the Cosmetics Kid" from the
barn of Elizabeth (Arden) Graham,
and On Trust, the plumbers horse
from California.
This is like telling 3-year-old
junior there isn't any Santa Claus.
While Phalanx is the chalk" in this
73d running of the chase after the
roses Saturday at Churchill Downs,
Faultless Is virtually unanimously
regarded as the one who will give
Faultless the most trouble.
Trial Race Scheduled.
This Is because the hardboots and
the "hardheads," who are arriving
with every train and bus and plane
for Saturdays scramble and its
record-expected 125,00o crowd, are
thinking about what plain Ben Jones
might do. Plain Ben is Faultless'
trainer and is looking toward his
fourth Derby triumph with the tall
son of Bull Lea-and could very we'll
do it if his Missouri magic is working
right.
He also might work it a little
bit of all right today at Churchill
Downs, where Faultless figures to
be within shouting distance of even-
money choice to come bouncing
home in front of five other Derby
eligibles in the Derby trial mile.
FaultlesS is an uncertain starter
in this one, but Syl Veitch will
be there looking on nevertheless
land whether Faultless runs or not.
Syl isn't particularly worried about
him.
"We," he admitted today before
the trial, have to be afraid of On
Trust and Jet Pilot"
Impressive Field in Race.
Reading from left to right these
are (a) the standard bearer of
Plumber Earl Stice and his two
sons, who won the Santa Anita
Derby, and CD the Pilot, who won
four straight, staring with one at
the Downs track on Derby day last
wear, and then went on to win the
Pimlico Futurity last November be-
fore he went on vacation.
If Faultless starts in the trial
mile today, he'll have a man-sized
chore chopped out for him. He's
slated to tangle with such certain
Derby starters as Bill Helis' Cosmic
Bomb, Harry Warmers Stepfather.

25th Combat Team
Gels Shoulder Patch
suaeAu % LAsoa srAr,sues

Fort ,Benning, Ga.-After total
of twenty-five designs had been
submitted to the Heraldic Section,
Office of the Quartermaster Cen
eral, and to the War Department,
a shoulder patch was finally ac-
cepted for the 25th Regimental
Combat Team presently stationed
here.
The new patch has red and
blue background symbolizing the
Artillery and Infantry components
of the combat team. A white stone
tower on the red background rep
resents a tower of the old stone
fort of Ell Caney, Cuba, where the
25th Infantry Regiment played a
gallant part in the historic battle
of July 1, 1893. The white stars on
the blue background represents the
Southern Cross and is symbolic
o fthe combat service of the 25th
Combat Team in the Southwest
Pacific during World War II.
Efforts to obtain the distinctive
patch were begun in March, 1916
shortly after the team was acti-
waited, then followed the process of
designing and redesiginng the in
FAINT pate hso that it would become
one truly representative of the
spirit and history of the unit for
which it was being created.

the special master then either al
lows the objection or disallows it;
these objections and rulings are all
tabulated on sheets that were pre-
pared by the plaintiffs and repre-
sent a fac-simile of the original
petitions, both front and back, with
the name of each Signor typed in
as it appeared on the original Pc
ton. Working with Attorney Whit
low on the plaintiffs case is a
group of checkers and stenograph-
ers compiling information and
checking the county registration
records. Each petition is also min
utely examined by the attorney
for errors and irregularities which
appear on the face or back of the
petition itself.
At the present time the attorneys
and special master are nearing
completion of the check of the Pc
titions which were passed in Mari
copa County; these petitions in
themselves represent about two
thirds of the more than 81, 900 sig
natures which were obtained
throughout the state. It will be
necessary for the plaintiff to throw
out about 1900 signatures in or
der to show that the petitions were
not sufficient to warrant the meas
ure having been put on the ballot.
Mr.. Whitlow indicated that at
the present time il seems clear
that the case will end up In the
States Supreme Court as the
status of their objections is such
that only the highest court will be
in a position to pass on them.
AS it is with all lengthy litiga-
ton much patience Is required on
the part Of thsoe vitally concerned
with the final outcome. Because
of the tremendous bookkeeping
problems presented by the case and
the legal detail involved in going
over each petition name by name
the matter has moved slowly, but
the final objective is such that it
is worth the time involved. If the
plaintiffs are sustained in their
objections the Righ tt o-W ork
Amendment will be removed from
the States Constitution and fur
ther litigation on the matter will
then become unnecessary.
However, in view of the fact the
same group of low-wage advocates
could come back next year with a
similar petition, forcing labor to
go through the same expensive
procedure, the Arizona State Fed
Grafton of Labor will institute
suits within the next few days, in
cooperation with the American
Federation of Labor, to prove the
amendment, as worded, is uncon-
stitutional.
H. S. McCluskey and Joseph H.
Morgan, former member of the
Arizona Supreme Court, assisted
by Herbert Thatcher, of Washing
ton. D. c., announce they are about
ready to bring the suits in Mari
copa County Superior Court.

PHOENIX BOYS CLUBS MEMBERSHIP
HAS MOUNTED TO ASA ANNOUNCED

The Boys Clubs of Phoenix,
whose doors were opened to boys
on the 9th of December (1946) now
have a membership of 464 boys it
was announced today by Publicity
Chairman, Jack Williams. 185 boys
have joined the Eastside Branch
while 279 have taken out active
memberships at the Westside
Branch.
Williams stated that both clubs
were literal beehives of activity and
that new activities were being or
ganized weekly. Both clubs recently
competed in a Pull-Up Contest
which was sponsored by the Boys
Clubs of America. A Junior Red
Cross First Aid Course is being or
ganized at Westside Branch and
one has already conducted three
classes at the Eastside Branch un-
der the leadership of Edmund
Evans, Red Cross First Aid Instruc-
tor. Both clubs have held compe-
titions in touch fotball and vol
ley ball and plans are being made
for added competition in atble ten
mis-, crackel-ball and pool. Interest
in a Radio Club was expressed re-
Gently at the Eastside Club and
under the leadership of William P.
(Pat) Garrity, Assistant Director
of the Eastside Branch, an organi-
rational meeting was held last
week. Future plans were discussed
and the following officers elected
for a period of six months: Presi-
dent, Roger Walker; Vice-Presi-
dent, Spence Haywood; Secretary,
Bob Black; Treasurer, Danny
Aguirre.
Williams pointed out that as new
equipment is added the interest
and membership grow proportion
ately. The greatest item of inter-
est to be added since the opening
of the clubs was the pool table
that was contributed by the Phoe-
nix Womans' Club.
