AINTREE, England, Mar. Is.
-Longshot players began
last frantic hunt today for
something to beat the red hot
favorite Cromwell in Saturdays
grand national. History gave
them hope.
Three 1O0-to-1 outsiders have
captured jumping's richest
prize in the last 20 races.
During that same period two
winners have paid off at so to1
and four others at rs to l or
better.
Against those prices the S
to odds on Cromwell looked
pretty puny.
Tipperary Tim, the 1923 win
ner, was the most famous Of
the Cinderella horses in the
Aintree classic. Tim was given
little chance in a field of AZ
that broke from the tapes in
going as soft as a swamp. Ten
minutes later. after soaring
over 80 dizzy jumps, he ambled
past the post. He was the only
starter still standing.
Tim had never won a race
beforehand never did again.
How about Americas chances
this year?
Rubio, the first American
winner in 1908. was bred at the
Paso Ranch in California by
j. B. Haggin and was sent to
England as a 2-year-old. He
was sold here for a pittance
($63), and for a time pulled q
hotel bus that met the trains at
Towcester.
Rubios triumph was hailed
jubilantly in the States. Amer
lean owners decided if a Yank
horse could win in British COL
ors, maybe some could win in
U. S. silks.
Americans have been chal-
lenging the National ever since.

by Washington Wednesday night

in uniform last night.
I'VE would have won the series
if we had had F'ulks," insisted
Coach Eddie Gotlieb last night.
What could we do without him?
We built our whole offense around

Coach Red Auerbach OF the
Caps, on the other hand, didn't
want any individual stars.
There are no stars on this
club" Auerbach said as far back
as last November. Il don't want
any great scoring artists. All I
want is great team"
Auerbach's policy seems to bs
bearing fruit. Two of the Caps

absence threw the Warrior ma.
chine out of gear, there were
enough other good Caps to take
up the slack.
Caps Prove Well Balanced.
Over the season. Fulks, the
BAA's second high scorer, averaged
26 points per game. His big
teammate, Ed Sadowski, was good
for 1873 points. That's a total Of
41.3 points. The remaining nine
men combined averaged only 53.6
points per contest. With Fulks
out so were the Warriors.
With the Caps 1t was different.
Feerick, great basket ball player
that he is, averaged half the num-
ber of points per game as Fulks.
Feerick and Scolari combined
scored only 1,475 points all sea-
son, as compared to 1850 for
Fulks. But while Fulks and Sa-
dowski we're the only Warriors to
boast an average scoring output
in the double figures, the Caps
had f1ve-Feerick $50. Bones

and Scolari 11.2).
The Warriors made it interest
ing for the Caps last night, how
ever. They trailed by 10 points
half way through the third period
and almost overhauled the Caps
in the fourth. The Caps were
leading, 1868. with only two min
utes to go when Chink Crossin
dumped in two field goalss Jerry
Fleishman added one and Gale
Bishop put in another to make
the score read 1915.
Sadowski's Toss Too Late.
Sonny Hertzberg sank q free
throw to make it 80-76. Then
Bishop stole the ball from John
Norlander and sank it. A des-
perate shot by Sadowski then went
through the hoop. but it was too
late. The buzzer had sounded just
before the ball left his hands.
Crossin, whose left-handed set
shots spanked the Philadelphians,
led the scoring with 9-4-22. Nc.

The next step the Caps must
take in the Basket Ball Associa-
ton of America playoffs was
cleared up today with word from
league headquarters that the first
game of the series between Wash
ington and the winner of the New
York Baltimore playoffs would be
staged Tuesday night at the Ma
tional Guard Armory. The second
game will be played away on
Thursday and the third, if nee
essary, at the Armory Saturday
night.
The winner of this series ad-
vances to the championship round
and will meet the Western Divi-
sion representative-either Mime
apolis or Rochester-in a best
four of seven series.
The Caps Joined Rochester and
Minneapolis in the act of eliminat-
ing their first round foe in two
games. Washington erased the
Philadelphia Warriors with an
80-78 trimming last night at
Uline's after beating the Quaker
City boys on their home floor
Wednesday night. The Bullets
beat New York in the first game,
but the Knicks evened it up last
night with an 84-74 victory. They
will settle the issue in New York
tomorrow night.
In the Western Division Series
A. Minneapolis Lakers eliminated
the Chicago Stays last night, 101
to IS. and will meet Rochester
which previously had ousted St.
Louis.
Caps hopes for continued success
were bouyed today by the word
that Matt Zunic and Fred Scolari
may be back in action next week.
Zunic turned his ankle on the eve
of the series start. Scolari pre-
viously had broken a finger, and
joined Bob Feerick, who has a
damaged knee, on the bench.
Warriors Miss Fulks.
The Warriors last night went
home convinced the presence of
Joe Fulks. their scoring ace. would
have made the difference. Fulks

ORLANDO, Fla. Mar. 25.-
There is nothing static about the
Mats batting order. Gil Coan, the
leadof man, is resembling a clean
up hitter. Eddie Robinson, the
potential No. 4 slugger. can't click.
AL Kozar and Sam Dente have
bounced from second spot to
seventh and vice versa.
Manager Joe Kuhel is in king
sized quandary over his lineup.
The personnel is established, but
the order of their swatting def
nitely has become confused jum-
BILE which only future games may
determine.
At this writing there are even
signs of panic. Kuhel's moves
may come under the heading Of
experimentation. but the fact re-
mains he has uncovered nobody
who seems to At the cleanup role
with the exception of Coan, who
is supposed to be the ideal lead
off man.
Robinson Dropped to Sixth.
Robinson. who originally was
designated as the fourth place
hitter. has only three blows to
show for the clubs first eight
games ana Kuhel yesterday de-
NOTED him to sixth. In Robin
sons case the only solace for
Kuhel is that the ex-1ndian never
was much of a spring hitter.
The man who has been acting
like the clubs power hitter lately
Is Eddie Yost. He has walloped
two out of the park in the Mats
last two games and reveals signs
Of muscle. But a quick look at
the 1948 averages shows that
Yost was only a .249 hitter and
never on the power side.
AS it was. the Mats collected
only seven hits yesterday against
Cincinnati pitching and took a
Ga licking. Yost's two-run homer
and surprising two-bagger by
Dente got the Mats all of their
runs. Otherwise. they were white
meat for the Reds.
And Ray Scarborough and Wal
ter Masterson. who are supposed
to be two Of the Mats better
pitchers, didn't distinguish them
selves, & Scarborough was raped
for four runs in the 1irYt five in-
nings and Masterson let the game
