Pittsburgh, May 1 (INS) The Pirates staged a two-run ninth Inning rally today to defeat the first-place Brooklyn Dodgers in the first brush between the two clubs this year. The score was 7-6, the Victory putting the runner-up Bucs Within three games of the National League lead and ending a six-game Winning streak for the Dodgers. Arky Vaughan's fumble of a dou ble play grounder with the score tied, one out and the bases lined enabled Cully Rikard to score the winning run. Johnny Allen, pitching in relief, wild-pitched Stewart over for the tieing run. Fred Fitzsimmons, trying for his fourteenth straight win over the Pirates, was shelled off the hill in the third, but Allen was the losing pitcher.

Ken Heintzelman won his third straight game as he pitched the full distance. Pitstburgh Manager Frankie Frisch was ejected from the game for the second day in succession. Catcher Al Lopez and Outfielder Jimmy Wasdell, and Coach Jake Flowers also were chased. BROOKLYN. I PITTSBURGH.

Louis, May 1 (INS) Ken O'Dea's fenth-innlng home run abruptly ended the Boston Braves' winning streak at five games today, and gave the St. Louis Cardinals an 8-7 decision over the Eastern club.

With Jockey Jack Richard at the con trols, Navy Cross took an early lead and kept It to win with two lengths to spare. Second honors In the Bashford Manor went to Take Away, while Hoosier finished third. Captain Zac, which was expected to show more, finished out of the picture Navy Cross, making the second start of his career earned $3,045. He handled himself well and the partners Carney and Ramsey have good reason to believe they own a colt of real promise. He ran the five furlongs of today's engage ment in 0:00, three-nrtns or a second off the track record, and was not even seriously threatened at any stage of the trip.

Take Away made up many lengths to account for his share of the prize, and In winning the place beat the weakening Hoosier, winner here a few days ago, by two and half lengths. Captain Zac, broke well here, but he was taken back until he had little chance to be a serious threat. FIVE TILTS TO FEATURE Opening Of Class A Amateur Baseball Race Sunday.

HOME RUN STANDINGS NATIONAL LEAGUE. Csmllll, Dodgers Frank McCormlck, Rsds a Lltwhller, Phils i To Get Big Play. Seventeen Are Entered In Today's Race, But Several May Be WithdrawnEddie Arcaro To Pilot Devil Diver. BY BOB SAXTON. (Enquirer Mnorts Editor.) srinuL DisrvroK To th knqihser.

Churchill Downs, Louisville, May 1 Picking a winner in the Sixty-eighth Kentucky Derby tomorrow will be just as hard a job as it has been in the past. There is one thing about this Derby; there is no stand-out horse. Stand-out horses have appeared before; some of them like Old Rosebud, Morvich, Regret, Twenty-Grand, and War Admiral have been successful. Then one can remember that stand-out of two years ago, Blmelech, which failed. But this year there Is no majority of opinions.

No horse barges into the limelight, but when it centers down that is the betting tha Greentree entry of Devil Diver and Shut Out will go to the post a slight choice over Ben Whltaker's Requested. These two are the standouts with their prices ranging from to 3-to-l. WANTS NO. 13 POST Louisville, May 1 (AP) All Texas Ben Whltaker is asking for tonight Is just one "scratch" from tomorrow's Kentucky Derby field so that his Requested could move up from No. 14 to No.

13 post position. The 13 may be unlucky, but to Texas Ben and his little hoes it has been strictly a rabbit's fooot. Here's why: Ben bought the colt on the 13th of the month August 13, 1940. He paid $1,300 for him. In his 13th start, last year, he gave Dogpatch and Apache, two other Derby entrants, 13 pounds apiece and whipped them both.

Price makers then will show you that after these two it la a toss-up as to which will be second or third choice. There Is that undercurrent of feeling that Alsab may come through even though he has met seven defeats since January 1, REMAINS MYSTERY. Sun Again, the Calumet horse, still remains a mystery as to starting. If the matter Is left entirely in the hands of Trainer Ben Jones, Sun Again will be scratched. Jones believes that he is Just about one work off a Derby routs of one mils and one-quarter and that In another week ha would have the Prcakness at his mercy.

But then you know what an own er wants. He wants a Derby winner and even though Warren Wright had one last year In Whirl- away, he still wants a second ons probably more than he did his first one. Co Owner Wright might Just whisper In Ben's ear that "Let's start." So If Sun Again starts he should be at about 6 to 1. The Valdina Farm entry of Valdina Orphan and Hollywood, and Apache should rule) right along at about 8 to 1. From there on any old price might be returned.

Valdina Orphan apparently has lost some casts since his victory in the Derby Trial Stakes last Tues day, but he still must be reckoned with. The presence of Eddie Arcaro, the Newport lad, astride Devil Diver adds to that horse's chances and also to his popularity. Arcaro has won two Derbies and naturally would like to make It three. ACE MONEY RIDER. ivnown as me Desc money naer in the country, Arcaro can be depended upon to give his all for such a rich prize.

The 17 horses predicted went through the entry box as possible starters. First Prize was named, but undoubtedly will not start. Of the others Sun Again appears to be the only one which might bs missing. The confusing form displayed by all the starters this year put the turf experts far in the air. So much has been written about the doings of each horse in the last few days that It would be only repetition to go into the form of any of the starters.

The Derby this year will gross $87,250 if the 17 start. That would make the winner earn $65,225, or more than 30 times what Aristides won In 1876. For every scratch in the race there will be $500 come off the net value to the winner. W.M.b.mn muffin! rn an I ...11 tlVIllAII-, ager, the man who selects tns ought horse on tho program, has pinned his faith to the Greentree entry. REQUESTED NEXT.

He then lists Requested, followed by The Valdina Farm entry, Alaoh With Rocrflrrlfi. Dog Patch, and will give you a chance to take a quantity bet on the field horses. In the field will be Fair Call, First Fiddle, Sweep Swinger, Sir War, First Prize and Boot and Spur, making you have six chances for the price of one ticket Post time for the Derby has been placed at 5:30 o'clock Central War Time, making it 6:30 Cincinnati time. It still looks as though the larg- est crowd in history will view ths Derby running. All boxes and reserved seats have gone.

There mav be a fall off in gen eral admission patrons because of the tire shortage. Many of those which drove from 100 to 150 miles may be missing, but their-places, it is predicted, will be taken by soldiers from nearby Fort Knox, and from the thousands of workers in the various war plants in this vicinity. our Phils Today; Up His Hitting two of the Redleg tallies with double and a long triple. In 16 games, Haas has banged out six doubles, tyo triples, and a homer Two of the coal-hoalers' regulars Second Baseman Glossop and Catcher Ben Warren were on the sidelines, nursing Injuries in Thursday game with the Pirates, Glossop is a former Redleg farm hand, and has been playing great ball at the keystone for the Phils, Even Morale Officer Hank Gow- dy lost some of his pepper during the past few days. Can say we blame him much.

Certainly saw little to enthuse over. The Phillies proved early why they are in the cellar. They loaded the bases in the opening round on two walks and a single, but failed score. Northey fouled to Haas and Bragan was called out on strikes. Old-timers failed to recognize the portly gentleman who did the coaching at first base for the Phils was Bill Killifer, who a decade so ago was a trim 165-pound catcher.

He is now well over the 200-pound mark. The Cardinals and Reds both played far below their 1941 form during the month of April, while the pace-making Dodgers showed Continued On Next Page. Yourself and Black Servant, en tered in the Derby that year and Lyke was given his choice of the mounts. Lyke had firm convictions on the merits of the pair and without much hesitation picked up Black Servant. So the mount on Behave Yourself went to C.

Thompson. The chart of the 1921 race tells an eloquent story the story of a confident jockey who had every reason to believe he had guessed correctly until the final pay-off. Away from the post second, Lyke quickly took Black Servant out in front and kept him there throughout the first mile. Then at the head of the stretch he found a challenger a totally unexpected challenger. It was Thompson on Behave Yourself.

Down the stretch the green and white colors of the Bradley entrants fluttered and the winner by a scant head was Behave Yourself. Lawrence Lyke had guessed In correctly in picking his mount. It was a guess that cost him a fat fee and deprived him of consider- able riding prestige, rff7 rSSst -TO IHO Vandy To Face Haas Keeps Sparks Off Smith's Forge Johnny Vander Meer, gunning for victory No. 2, will work the final of the two-game set with the cellar-dwelling Phils at the Western Avenue lot this afternoon, with 01' Cy Blanton opposing him. It cost the National League more to rush Umpire Jocko Conlan here from Pittsburgh by special plane than the Phillies got for their end of the 805 paid admissions.

With Umpires George Barr and Lou Jorda confined to their rooms with the flu and pleurisy, respectively, George Magerkurth was the only member of the team available for duty. President Ford Frlck contacted Conlan at Pittsburgh at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, and ordered him to rush here by special plane. Jocko arrived on the scene of action in the Red-leg half the first inning. Coach Chuck Klein worked at first, with Bucky Walters holding forth at third, in the Philly half. Although the Reds succeeded in crashing the win column for the first time in four days, they looked anything but impressive.

The old hustle still was conspicious by its absence, and Eddie Joost was charged with two more errors. Rookie Bert Haas continued to hit hard and timely. He drove in to It or Too Good For Foes? At Least That Is Opinion Del Baker Gives. "Schoolboy" Rowe May Help Dodgers A Tiger Boss Says Depends On Start. New York, May 1 (AP) Del- mar David Baker, the placid pilot of the Detroit Tigers, Is one Ameri can Leaguer who likes to keep an eye on the hubbub in the National League and he opined today that "maybe those Brooklyn Dodgers are getting too good for that company." This was an unusually forthright observation for the quiet, trans planted Texan, who generally doesn't commit himself beyond something like, "They're going all right; not bad at all." "Schoolboy Rowe may help the Dodgers a lot," Baker continued.

"If he gets off to a good start, he might have a real big year. "There isn't anything wrong with him. In fact he looks better now than he has in the last of years and maybe a chance of scen ery is all he needs to get going. We let him go because we have half a dozen more young pitchers coming along fine and we are try ing to rebuild the whole club with young fellows. Rowe is 30 years old and he didnt figure in our plans.

But he's a grand guy and I hope he has a great season with the Dodgers. "They have the kind of a club that he ought to fit into well. Lots of power and they can give him a big inning every now and then. I see Enos Slaughter of the St. Louis Cardinals is 1-A.

If he is called who will give Brooklyn any op position? The club already has won 14 out of 17 games. Boy, that's Baker shied away from apprais ing his own club. "Jimmy Bloodworth has helped us at second base and this young ster, Hal White, looks like he is going to be a fine pitcher. "We're moving along all right. But this business about Luke Sewell (manager of the Browns) saying we look as good or better than Cleveland why doesn't some body tell him to look at the stand ings?

Arbiter To Be Fined $10 For Reporting Drunk- In Appalachian League 'Bad Check -To Net $3 Penalty-Players Also Warned.

BY WHITNEY MARTIN. New York, May 1 (Wide World) It will cost an umpire in the Appalachian League 10 it he reports for duty drunk, but if he feels he just has to break some rule and doesn't feel he can afford $10, there are less expensive sins. He can write a bad check for $5, for instance, or sneak a smoke on the field for $3. This intriguing information Is included in the comprehensive list of instructions and "must nots" sent to managers, players, umpires, and scorers by Loop Prexy J. Ross Edgemon.

Mr. Edgemon has enumerated all the crimes that might be committed by the parties in question, and affixed a price tag to each, so that a culprit has no more excuse for not knowing the penalty than a housewife has for not knowing the price of a can of a self- serve food market. COSTLIER TO PLAYER. There are one or two discrep ancies which might bring a charge of favoritism. For instance, it only costs an umpire $3 for putting his hands on a ball player in any kind of horseplay, such as slapping him on the back as he goes by, but it costs a player $5 for taking the same liberty with an umpire.

all in all the rules and penalties are very fair, and if a ball player gets socked $5 for drink ing Deer between double-headers, he knows that an umpire will pay the same for a like offense The penalties range from $2 to $10. An umpire, for example, must be neat, clean, and sober, all at once; or he pays $2, and he is as sessed a like sum if he hangs around the streets or drugstores with players. Always treat the players nice on the streets, and speak to them, but don't get too familiar, the arbitrates are warned The $5 items on the umpires' in addition to the bad check and no-beer-between-double-headers rules, specify that the boys in blue must not beat any bills, and must not deliberately ignore orders from the President's office. SAWBUCK FOR DRUNK, Showing up drunk, as mentioned, costs $10, as does failure to report the truth and nothing but the truth tc the league office. A player gets taxed $2 for using profane language while taking infield practice If his can be heard in the stands.

Nothing is said about other times, so apparently the language during the games doesn't count. Players draw down the maximum fine of $10 for continuing to be trouble makers for umpires, and "spitting in an umpire's face." The rest of the umpire's anatomy Is ig nored, so all the players must do is wtttch their aim. Mr. Edgemon lets the scorers off lightly, the only listed penalty be ing $3 for failure to send in official score sheets after each game. However, he gives a solemn warning to to the hit-and-error checkers by an nouncing ominously: One thing that I do not want my official scorers doing and that is a Continued On Next Page.

The spot Arcaro finds himself in today is identical with that of Law rence Lyke back In 1921.

Lyke, two decades ago, was a top- notcher and the contract Jockey for the Idle Hour Farm of Colonel E. R. Bradley. Bradley had two horses, Behave Two out when winning run scored. tBatted for Salvo in sixth.
