Buffalo, N. Y, has been ruled off
American race tracks for life by
the Florida State Racing Com

was scratched by the track stew
ards.
Pariso was quoted as telling the
stewards the buzzer was his own

The giddy st. Louis Browns are
beginning to remind folks of the
1914 team that set a new Amer
lean League record by winning its
first nine games. In case it slips
your memory, that wartime COL
lection won the Browns only
pennant.
Nobody was surprised at the
way Brooklyn and Cleveland broke
out of the gate. After all, they
were the picks to meet in the
World Series. But four straight
by the Browns-that's different.
Who thought the first four
starting pitchers used by Rogers
Hornsby would 60 the route? Ned
Carver, yes. But Bob Cain,
Tommy Byrne and Duane Pillette?
Certainly, not all three.
Pillette became the fourth
starter to go all the way when
the made-over Browns played be-
fore the home folks for the first
time yesterday. The former Yam
kee. whose father was a big league
pitcher for Detroit years ago,
stuffed a five-hitter down the
throats of the Chicago White Sox
to win, IL.
The Browns attracted 1858
fans for their home opener, lust
about $500 more than last year
when they opened against the
White Sox and went on to lose
nine of their first II games. The
Cardinals, in their st. Louis
opener-a night game-drew 49,
$50, but attendance dropped to
4,907 in their last appearance
against Pittsburgh Thursday.
White SOx Left at Post.
Last year the White Sox were
running wild, startling the digni-
fed league with their daring run
ming. Now they're left at the
post, beaten four in a row.
Five runs in the eighth nailed
down the st. Louis decision, with
Catcher Clint Courtney's bases
loaded triple doing the most dam
age. Les Moss hit Chuck Stobbs
for a homer in the fifth to tie the
score and Dick Kryhoski doubled
home a run in the sixth for a 81
edge. Then came the eighth-in-
ming assault on Luis Aloma and
Bill Kennedy. once with the
Browns.

Seventh Foreign Win
In Row Possible in
Boston Marathon
BY the Associated Press

BOSTON, April 10. Guate-
malan Luis Valazquez today had
high hopes of becoming the
seventh successive foreigner to
win the famed Boston AA Mara
thon.
To do so. however, the 32-
year-old Central American must
outdistance the much higher re-
garded Jesse Van Zant and Johnny
Lafferty, Boston AA teammates,
and, possibly, 1875 others.
Van Zant and Lafferty ran one

Latferty had been runnerup to
Japan's Shigeki Tanaka, the 1851
BAA race victor.

Also down to start with Valaz-
quez. who finished eighth in his
only previous BAA start, in 1948

NEW YORK, April 19.-The

Involved in the rhubarb, which

yesterday. are most of the men,
berS of both teams. But the lead
ing figures are Mickey GraSso and
Eddie YoSt of the Mats and Allie
Reynolds and Phil Rizzuto of the
world champions.
The trouble started in the fourth
inning when Yost neatly stopped a
Reynolds curve ball with his shoul-
der when the bases were loaded,
forcing across a run. AS Eddie
trotted to first base, Reynolds
shouted at him. Next time it
won't be curve, it'll be a fast
ball at your head"
Trouble at Second Base.
Later, in the sixth inning. it
looked as though words might be-
come insufficient. First GrasSo
went into Rizzuto high at second
base in an unsuccessful attempt
to break up double play. Little
Phil dug his knees into Mickey
while getting to his feet and they
exchanged lurid language.
Grasso started to trot to the
Mats dugout, then became par
ticularly incensed by something
Rlzzuto said. He wheeled AS if to
do battle, but umpires quickly
broke it up as players from both
benches sWarmed on the field.
The next time Grasso batted,
he was informed by Reynolds that
he was going to have to hit the
dirt. And Mickey did, for Allie
fired a high, hard one at his head.
The Washington catcher was

Sax, Indoor 400 0-Meter Ace,
Getting Olympic Test Today

NEWARK, N. j., April 10
Boyish Ollie Sax, quarter-m mile
sensation of the indoor track
meets, will try to prove his
Olympic potentialities on cinders
today in a special 400-meter race
of the Seton Hall Relays.
Four world record holders and
"a full dozen national champions
are scheduled to show their wares
in the East's outdoor track in
Iaugural, but all eyes will be on
the crew-cut kid from Penn State
who ran the legs off the worlds
best during the winter season.
Sax, 20-year-old son of for
mer big league baseball player and
not long out of Kearney, N. j..
High School, will face a star
spangled field in the 400. includ-
ing the world quarter-mile record
holder, Herb McKenley of ia
maica.
If he can achieve outdoors what
he did on three occasions last
winter on boards. young Sax will
stamp himself as Uncle Sans top
4OO-meter hope in the Olympic
Games at Helsinki.
Besides McKenley, the New Jer-
Isey youngster must face Reggie
IPearman, former National AAU
I800-meter champ; Hugo Maiocco.
National AAU 600-meter winner
lin 1850 and 1851. and John Mel
son and Harry Bright. a pair of
hopes from the New York Pioneer
Club.
But Sax mainly is concerned
about McKenley. the flying ia
maican.
Asked at a New York track
writer's luncheon what sort of
tactics are needed to beat Nc
Henley in the 400, Sax replied
blandly:
you've got to run the first half
Of the race as fast as you can and
then sprint the last half"
If this was young Sax strategy
in the winter, it paid off lush
dividends. He scored three tri-
umphs over the worlds fastest for
the distance-McKenley, George
Rhoden and Charlie Moore.

Abortions Numerous
As Births, (onsuItant

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. - When
Margaret Sanger, founder OF the
birth control movement, began her
work more than thirty years ago,
it was because she saw the diSin-
effect on their health and general
tegration of whole families and its

for the Planned Parenthood Fed
Grafton of America, told the In
diana State Conference of Social
Work, he'd at the Claypool Hotel,
Thursday.
Abortions were almost as numer-
Gus as births, and were crudely and
dangerously performed, she con-
tinued, and this condition was the
deciding influence in Miss Sanger's
determination to set up an organi-

nation to women.
Miss Thomas told of an incident
related by Miss Sanger, in which
the mother of three children whose
husband was unemployed was des-
perately ill following criminal
abortion upon her. This mother had
asked her doctor for help in pre-
venting another pregnancy and his
advice to her was ito tell Jake 20
