 ROUNDUP
By HUGH FULLERTO :

NEW YORK, April 22.--id1-So many colts seem to have eliminated themselv1s as Kentucky Derby prospects that there likely will be a heck of a field in the S100- eco gallop at Churchill Downs on May 3 If that seems con- fusing, it works out this way: The only real standout so far is Phalanx, winner of last Saturdays better division of the Wood Mem clial Then comes few "possibles" such at Faultless, Double Jay, On Trust and Jet Pilot.
 From there on nobody knows and there's only an outside chance that the Blue Grass Stakes on Thursday and the Chesapeake on Saturday will do more than possi- ply add few names to the list of those who have eliminated themselves But it's a mater of record that only 35 favorites have won 72 derbies and that some horrible things can happen to favorites, especially if they draw cne of those inside post positions. So we figure a lot of owners will risk the s1o00 starting fee on the chance that Phalanx and maybe few others will be caught in a jam but don't bet on it.

PITCHERS AID PORTLAND IN
 CLIMBING Up
By BILL BECKER

(ASSOclated HreSS sports NrIter)
 The big question around the Pa cific Coast League today, as ex- perts rubbed their eyes for another look at the standings, was how did Portland get way up there?
 The most obvious answer seems to be pitching. Besides Tommy Bridges no-hitter, the Beavers have gotten several well-pitched games from Vince Dibiasi, Roy Helser, Johnny Bianco and strong support ing work from Ad Liska and Jack Salveson.
 Yankee chattel Dibiasi (3-0) par ticularly has impressed observers 1 with a sharp curve and good fast ball.
 At any rate. Lefty O'Doul's San Francisco Seals undoubtedly saw enough of the Beaver pitching in absorbing six straight setbacks while Portland climbed to a first place tie with San Diego last week.
 The Beavers as a team are bat ting slightly over .25O, but a trio of hitters have been strong in the clutch. Danny Escobar, the clubs leading hitter with 333, has driv- en in l4 runs, while Harvey Storey and Herman Reich each brought in 13
 Portland will get another test with the invasion of the third place Los Angeles Angels starting tonight. The Angels took 4-3 ser ies from the Beavers at the start of the season and since have pick ed added strength. The Angels got another starting pitcher, Lefty Bob Mccall from the Chicago Cubs yesterday.
 Los Angeles is just enc game be- hind the pace-setters.
 Some hitting fireworks should be forthcoming when San Diego tangles with Oakland at the Bay City. The Padres have been paced by Max West who has batted 500 and driven in 13 runs in Il games. The Oaks have the league leading regular tatsman in Brooks Holder, .379. West, Holder and Storey are tied for the homer lead with four apiece
 The Padres punch potential is revealed in rookie shortstop Ray Trans F hits tops in the circuit on POT average.
 Other series this week put the fifthspot Seals at Seattle, which sank to last-place tie with Oak land, and fourth-place Sacramento at Hollywood where the becalmed Stars are lloundering in sixth.
