Mayor Makes No Progress
On Lurinq MI to New York

NEW YORK. May 30 (P.-
The latest progress" report on
New York's bid to lure a Ma
tional League team indicated
no progress. The city still is
willing to build a stadium, but
still has received little encour-
agement from the MI.
Mayor Wagner, after meeting
with his baseball committee,
said yesterday a 52,000-seat
stadium, costing about $l2 mil
lion. could be built and leased
to a club on reasonable terms.
But he added there is no hope
of franchise transfer to New
York next year. and the next
step still lis UP to the National
League"

FiIIies Meet
In Feature
At Delaware
BY JOSEPH b. KELLY
star Raeins Editor

STANTON. Del. May 30
Delaware Park, comparatively
deserted with only 1894 yester-
day for its opening, expected
the usual Memorial Day swarm
of $4,000 or more racing fans
today for the 18th running of
the sl0,000-added Polly Drum
mond Stakes.
Annually, Delaware gets of to
slow start, with most of the
Philadelphia customers sticking
to nearby Garden State until
that session closes.
But, in traditional fashion
here, many holiday fans were
out early today to take adj
vantage Of the park-like sur
roundings for family picnics.
Last year on May 80, the 28,-
705 gate was the largest of the
meeting.
Fifinella Miss Choice
The Polly Drummond, which
drew a field of ten 2-year-old
allies, was practically being con-
.ceded to Fifinella Miss, who
finished fourth in the recent
Rancocas Stakes at Garden
State as the odds-on choice
after suffering poor racing luck.
Fifinella Miss who has won
two races to date. is scheduled
to be ridden by John Choquette.
OF the ten starters, seven have
won at least one race but there
are no stakes winners in the
lineup.
The seven winners were as
signed l13 pounds apiece and
the nonwinners 4 pounds less.
In addition to Fifinella Miss,
the other victors going to the
post are George A. CARROTS

the Giants went to San Fran

Lavagetto Predicts Upturn>
Declaring Worst Is Over
Manager Says
Club Will Move
Back to 500
BY BURTON HAWKINS
star star Writer

NEW YORK. May 3O.-Cookie
Lavagetto thinks the worst is
over for the Senators. Al
though the managers opinion
may be buffeted by two en-
gagements with the Yankees
today. he's taking the long,
range view and predicting bet
ter things for his club.
We're going to be a 500
ball club this season." Cookie
said. We've had our slump.
We're simply not as bad as
we've looked recently, and I
think we're coming out OF IL.
Other teams will have slumps
later. I'm taking the attitude
that ours is history"
This is brave chatter from
a manager whose team has
sagged seven games below 500
in falling to the basement,
losing Is Of 20 contests in the
process, but he can see a
brighter horizon.
Got Down in Dumps
Having Roy Sievers out Of
the lineup so long murdered
u.s." Cookie said. Jim Lemon
got fouled up at the plate,
Norm zauchin and Camilo
Pascual got hurt and the whole
club seemed to disintegrate.

Lemon and Ken Aspromonte
have rested for four days now
and they should go back to
work today refreshed and
eager. Ed Yost has had a
chance to rest for a while and
I'm looking for him to help us
extensively and defensively.
Sievers is back in the lineup
and I think well perk up"
Benching Unlikely
The Senators caught Mickey
Mantle in a slump today and
hoped to keep him there. The
Yankees noted slugger had
famed six times in his last two
games. In New York this is
regarded as occasion for panic,
and Mickey is pleading in bold
headlines to be kept in the
lineup.
Manager Casey Stengel has
read the newspapers, but it's
unlikely that he'll lift Mickey
despite Is strikeouts in his last
IL games and a total of 80 for
the season. Mantle says: I've
