John Bramlet has worked on the
Richmond farm for the last Is
years. He has done veterinarian
work in the county and area, and
lays claim to an education in Cam
ada, where he spent his young
manhood, as a veterinarian. John
says he has more or less retired
from any practice now, but that
he retains his love of animals and
children.
He has also composed numerous
songs and poems. mostly religious
in nature, and The Madison Press
recently printed a group of them
in booklet form for him.
He says his immediate plans are
to work and praise God for letting
him enjoy life in his advanced
years. And, we suppose, he'll con-
tinue to help his neighbors.

starting pitchers. They are Lar
sen, Whitley Ford and Bob Turley
Even Johnny Kucks, who will
pitch the second game in Wash
ington, following Larsen, is not
in that category.
"Maury McDermott and
Tommy Byrne must do better
before they can get into the ro-
tation." Stengel croaked. "Kucks
will be spotted against certain
clubs. Tom Morgan, Bob Grim
and Jim Konstanty have pitched
well. but they will be kept in the
bullpen.
RIP Coleman has been off the
beam, and I haven't seen enough
of Gerry Staley to pass on him. .
Stengel has made only one
drastic change since last season
when he used dozens of batting
orders in leading the Bombers tc
their sixth pennant in seven
years.
That will place 22-year-old
Jerry Lumpe at shortstop over
ancient Phil Rizzuto, the long
time incumbent.
Nope" said the professor,
there will be no platooning for
the present. Lumpe is my Short

Lumpe got the job partly be-
cause he's a lefthanded batter.
There are only two other left

regular lineup.

NEW YORK, April 16 (P.-
Crusty old Casey Stengel pointed
a gnarled finger at a reporter to-
day after singing the praises OF
his Yankees and rasped:

we'll ever lose a game this sea-
son."
The professor seems to have
convinced himself land most ex-

their accustomed place in the

he said before leading his men

our injuries.

The injuries Stengel referred
to are of a minor nature, but
they have hit three of his start

A reporter asked Willie if he'c
like to see Swaps and Nashua

Sure. I'd like to take another
crack at Nashua with Swaps,
Silent Shoe replied.
Swaps beat Nashua in last
years Kentucky Derby, but
Nashua turned the tables ir
their match race at Chicago In
August.
There are rumors that Holly

thing Ellsworth said. That's
all know about it. We're ship

Ellsworth said home handicap

two years since Baltimore's re-
turn to the American League not
a single home run has been hit

said.
Baltimore fans have been
missing plays from the outfield

The distance down both foul
lines at Memorial Stadium is 300

The announcement said the new

ponents for C. v. Whitney's
Head Man, who is expected tc
be, the heavy favorite in the
50.000-added Wood Memorial
next Saturday.
This is the biggest 3-year-olo
race of the Jamaica spring
meeting and the one who wins
the mile-and-an-eighth event
usually goes to Louisville with
high credentials for the Ken
lucky Derby.
Head Man, winner of the Ex-

Eddie Arcaro. and a victory Sat-
urday might help make the
Whitney entry the Derby ia

Six Winners of Derby
Six winners of the Wood have
gone on to take the Derby, the
last being the King Ranch's
Assault in 1916. so it's about
time lightning struck again.
Besides Assault, the other
Wood victors who won the Derby
were Gallant Fox, 1880: Twenty
Grand, 1881; Johnstown, 1899;
Count Fleet. 1913. and Hoop Jr.,
I1945.
But this Derby will be tough
one to figure. Five times in the
last 10 years the Wood winner
has been the heavy choice on
Derby Day. The last three in a
row, Native Dancer, Correlation
and Nashua, have bitten the dust

soon they'll view a brighter
horizon. They clash with Balti-
more in eight of their first IA
games, and If they were allowed
to select an opponent which
would promise them a crack at
a satisfactory start-well, the
Orioles would be the answer.
A peek at last years record
against the Orioles doesn't jus
tify the notion that Baltimore
represents a soft touch. The
Orioles defeated Washington IA
times in % games, seven times
by one run. But if the Senators
are to beat out anybody this
year. it generally is conceded
they must start with their
neighbors.
Chance to Rebound
If the Yankees inflict gaping
wounds on the Senators in the
Via &C 6oAAIC oCAACo llCIC, SIluCk
DreSsen's athletes will be granted
an ideal opportunity to rebound.
They'll meet the Orioles in four
games over the week end at
Baltimore. move into New York
for one game, continue to Boston
for two. then return here for
four more engagements with the
Orioles.
Like the Senators, Baltimore is
rated 100 to /. or all the odds the
