Charlea R. Applcgate of Freehold was among those who received varsity letter awards in basketball at the Peddie school in Hightstown. Applegate also waa a member of the varsity football team. Gene Pinter, genial sports editor of the New Brunswick Home News was in town yesterday to take a look at the Yanks and say hello here. Then he left for Lakewood to see how the Giants compared with the American leaguers.

Allen Getlel went back to the Newark Bears yesterday but In name only. Gettel, you will recall, was involved in the deal which sent Nick Etten to the Yankees from the Phillies. The Yanks gave the Phillies another player for Gettel and Getlel either will enter the army or settle down on his farm. He will not play baseball. -O Looking over the 1943 player roster of the Jersey Giants, we find that of the 14 pitchers listed only three are under six feet with Richard Kenworthy of Millington leading the pace at six-four.

Reports from North Jersey say that Tom Ananicz will be the choice to start on the mound for the Newark Bears when the International league club breaks In the New York Yankees Saturday at Plainfield. Manager Bill Meyer is expected to use the hurler for the first three innings. At several recent press conferences McCarthy has been urged repeatedly to announce the starting lineup but he refused lo comply. The other day he announced he was ready to announce the starting nine when a group of writers violently objected, asserting that they wanted him to wait until today because they needed a story later. In the.

Moil FRANK G. MENKE, the tub-thumper for the Kentucky Derby who did such a swell job on sports records book before he had to give up the work, answers a question: 'The last issue of the All Sports Record Book was 1936. It is unlikely that I'll put out another. It takes a lot of what I do not seem to have any more to bring that book up to date. With the exception of a few copies, wtih battered covers, which I save for museum pieces, all the books are gone.

"All copies of the "Encyclopedia of Sports" which I put together in 1939 also are Bringing that bonk up to date is not too tough and I may make a try at it this summer allho the paper situation may be such as to make the printing on the prohibitive side." We're sorry to learn about the fate of these record Anyone interested in sports knows their value. They answer thousands of questions. A Contribution FROM the state flth and game commission in Trenton comes word that many New Jersey sportsmen are purchasing hunting and fishing licenses this year for their friends in uniform. This is to help finance conservation of wildlife in New Jersey during the war so that returning soldiers, sailors and marines may have good hunting and fishing after the war. President George C.

Warren, of the state commission disclosed the contents of a telegram from an Elizabeth rod and gun club as follows: "Each member pledged to buy license for member of armed forces te support fish and game commission's activities for benefit of New Jersey sportsmen so that the boys fighting for our right to hunt and fish may enjoy equal opportunities to do likewise on their return to civil life." Replied Warren: "We must be in a position to replenish our woods and field, streams and lakes or we cannot balance the scales of nature and our wildlife will soon be depleted and the long hard climb to present plentitude will have to be done all over again." Hancock earn Plays 4-4 Tie With C.C.N.Y. FORT HANCOCK. Fort Hancock opened its baseball season yesterday by eking out a 4-4 tie with the City College of New York nine In a game that was ended by dark- ness auer ine eiKmn inning. The Sandy Hook sluggers had the bases loaded in their last time al bat, but a strikeout ended the threat. Coach Joe Osmanskt used three soldier pitchers, who yielded a tolal of six hits and struck out five college batters.

The C. C. N. Y. batsmen scored three runs In the second inning to take the lead.

Hancock picked up one tally in Ihe last half of thai inning but trailed lo the seventh, when the soldiers got three. Cavazos started the seventh inning scoring with a double. Osman-ski, who put himself in the lineup in the fourth, reached first on Weiss' error and Mike Bucco, Hancock relief hurler. hammered out a home run. The New Y'orkers evened the count in their half of the eighth, hnw.v.r urhpn DnvMchiirB whn singled, moved around the bases on u.jj Mk.nJ.

Thf Tirf i r.t The strong bid in the last half of that lnnmg saw Hancock fill the bases after Hoffman had been picked off thud when he tripled Osmanski fanned however, and the game was over. Hancock got seven hits off the of- ferings of Gelfand. Schneider. Bi- towski and Bucco hurled for the army nine, with Moran and Cavazos catching.

Hancock's box score showed four errors, to one com- milted by C. C. N. Y. East Crushed In Glove Bouts ntirAfin OP) So far as New York's Golden Glovers were con- cerned there was no fooling todav no fooling that the midwest growa its amateur boxers tough.

The Manhattan fighters have been trying to whip the midwesterners at Chicago ever since the Intercity bouts were originated in 1928. Even In their own backyard, the New Yorkers encountered aggravating re sistance, winning only four times In the 16 year old rivalry. But last night their efforts reached a climax of futility. The New Yorkers won only two of the 16 bout? in which a chamDion and an alternate from each team fought in the eight weight classes. Their lowest set- back previously was In 1931 when Chicago won, 13 to 3.

The Chiragoans scored two knock- out victories in their romp before a ed into the Albion Hotel lobby yesterday afternoon at 3:20 and made everybody happy. The heavy-hitting Yankee outfielder looked train-weary after riding the rails from his home in Frederick. Md. He said he'd gotten up at 5:30 a. m.

to get an early start but that his train had been delayed by a wreck oip the line. At anv rate, all in camp were glad to see him, from Manager Joe McCarthy down to the bat boy, and nobody made any bones about it as they boisterously slapped his gabardine-covered back and pumped ni, ham-sized fist. Keller, of course, is not only the key tn tne yankee outfield but to tnP wnole team. Last year was not Keller Carries Bags As Elevator Fails Charlie Keller and Bill Knickerbocker, two late arrivals in the New York Yankees ramp, haven't played any baseball yet but they're beginning to feel the rigors of training. Knickerbocker reached here yesterday in time to work out with the advanced class in calisthenics while Keller, a later arrival, got his exercise carrying his bags.up three flights because the hotel elevator was out of order.

Only 5 Schools To Compete in Golf Tourney Few teams are competing but a schedule has been arranged for the Central Jersey Golf league in which schools in Monmouth and Ocean counties vie for the annual title and medals. The curtailment of sports in many schools has left only five schools in the annual golf tournament to determine the Central Jersey golf champion.

Asbury Park high school, usually the big gun in the sports scene in the Shore has not as yet, curtailed any sports. This year the Blue Bishops with only two veterans on the squad are attempting to form a team without even a coach. According to Capt. Chick Dono-frio. Edward F.

Carleton, Asbury Park high school athletic director, is trying to get James Coleman to guide the golfers this year. Anthony Loeble, coach for the last two years, Is in the army. The Blue Bishops, minus a coach for the present, will hold their first practice Monday at the Asbury Park golf course. Donofrio will captain the team this year and will be acting coach. Pat Petillo is the only other veteran on the squad.

Only three candidates have shown any interest in the squad. They are Luke Corrubia. Steve Papaylion and John Silatro. The schedule: April 20 Long Branch at Asbury Park. Neptune at Manasquan.

April 27 Manasquan at Long Branch. Neptune at Asbury Park. May 4 Long Branch at Neptune. Asbury Park at Manasquan. May 11 Neptune at Long Branch.

Manasquan at Neptune. Red Sox Are In Top Shape MEDFORD, Mass. (7P The Boston Red Sox could win the pegnant for optimism in any baseball league. They have been hit harder by the war than any other club in the majors, yet they figure they are a cinch to finish at least second in the American league again this year. Sinre the 1942 season closed the Red Sockers have lost their entire 'first string outfield.

Ted Williams. Dominic DiMaggio and Lou Finney; the rookie shortstop sensation'of the season. Johnny Pesky; and a pair of pitchers who combined to win 20 games. Bill Butland and Broadway Charley Wagner. That should be sufficient to stagger any aggregation, but it has only served lo make the Bostons bounce back with new determination.

The Red Sox were the first team to announce that they were going to train at home this spring. Before Commissioner Kenesaw Landis and the magnates established the boundary of the Potomac and Ohio rivers, Tom Yawkey, millionaire owner of the Red Sox. had settled upon the Tufts university baseball cage in suburban Boston for the Red Sox training base. This derision was supported superbly by the players, who reported in Incredibly good shape for the curtailed conditioning program they will have in advance of their American league inaugural April 21. Practice tarted March 22 and the club as a whole looks as good as it would have after three weeks of the usual leisurely processing in Florida.

The result is that the team is In fine fettle for its first exhibition game day after tomorrow with Ihe Brooklyn dodgers in Brooklyn and feeling cocky about what is to come thereafter. Observers here are Inclined to overlook Boston's very serious outfield situation while waxing enthusiastic about the club's dozen pitchers, the fact that the catching staff is stronger than last year and the probability that the infield will be one of the most presentable in the circuit. All of this is true. Manager Joe Cronin has a mound corps every bit as strong as last year and there Is no reason lo think that Cecil (Text Ilughson. who won 22 games last season to top every hurler in the big time, cannot do it again.

Little Eddie Lake, up from Sacramento for another fling at fame, looks like he ran do an adequate fielding job at shortstop and Rob Doerr. Jim Tabor and Tony Lupien round out a formidable infield. The question that everyone here is sidestepping is the outfield. Aging Pete Fnx. who was ailing for a considerable part nf the 1942 campaign and played in only 77 games, is the one certain regular.

Al Simmons, even more aging (almost 40 years old in the record books', is making a valiant effort lo get into playing shape but It is hardly conceivable that he can do more than pinchhit and make a few occasional historical appearances in the outfield. In fact he and Fox between them may not be able to total 154 games. (olf Sonii-Fiiials IJslcil for Tot lay PLNEIIURST. N. C.

They have time enough for football, baseball, basketball, swimming and other competitions. And if It weren't for these brief outside intervals, it is my belief that most of the cadets would soon go dead stale, war or peace.

For, after all. there are few human machines that ran face such a 16-hour grind, day after day. month after month, even year after year, without either blowing up or developing some form of brain fog. After all. a humsn being is still a human bring.

All have rertain limits. If one passes these limits, some variety of cracking up is sure to follow. The Cadet I plift "I have been around West Point, off and on. for a long time," Col. Lawrence 'Biffi Jones, director of athletics, said.

"I have studied this matter nf both intramural and intercollegiate athletics closely. I have found that both are needed for the morale nf the cadets, for developing a keener spirit. After all. West Point is always training for war. We are getting ready, even In the time of peace, for anv war that may come.

1 know what It would mean to these cadets if intercollegiate athletics should be abolished." Having watched closely the situation here, I agree with Colonel Jones. 100 percent. When you think of that predawn start and see what these 1,900 coming officers mutt handle thru the next IB hours, you begin to get weary yourself just watching it. A year has been cut from the old schedule, forcing four years' work into a much shorter span. Greatly increased flung instruction also has been added.

There is no letup here in the intensity of a hard-driving lorce. A vast flock of colleges and uni-verlics are now being turned over 'or war training, where nothing counts but winning the war. Vet none of these college centers will outwork West Point or Annapolis. Certainly. If our two main army and navy centers, our two high war-training citadels, can find the lime and the need for competitive play on the Intercollegiate side, the others can help to carry on at least as many of the sports as conditions will permit.

Those that don't soon will discover the mistake they have marie and will turn to the example by our two great war service schools on the Hudson and the Severn. I only wish they all had the same flaming spirit. If you disagree, come lo either place and get just a little wiser.

(P) A loud whistle nf amazement went up from the Rail Birds as the brown streak society dissolved right there. The streak was County Fleet Mrs. John D. Hertz' Kentucky Derby Glamour Boy, and he had just whizzed thru what Ihe older buzzards among the Rail Birds said was the fastest mile workout ever turned in by a horse this early in Die season after a winter vacation. The "work'' came up quietly with the sun Tuesday at Belmont and few knew about it until the dockers had their watches checked.

The Count romped the eight furlongs in 1:38 35, and the only times that even came clnse this early, the nlder "Birds" said, were by Grey Lag and Sporting Blood, a couple of gee-gees from 'way back in Ihe '20s. "Well." one old-timer shrugged, "that's the convincer. Nobody's gonna knock down the Count after that one He wasn't kidding The favorite early spring sport of pooh-poohing the Derby choice is as missing now as those two-pound sirloins smothered in mushrooms. Sure they still talk up Ocean Wave and. Blue Swords and Devil's Thumb and they point nut that Count Fleet runs with his head too high.

But pin 'em all down, and they come back to the Count. New Record Seen So. 'this spring, the fiKger filberls are spending their time trying to proved that the Count not only can waltz in the Derby, but actually is a distinct threat tn Equipoise's great mile record of 1:34 25 set 11 years It all comes down to a matter of 2 76 inches per second. The filberts argue that the high-headed Count ran the mile last year In 1:34 4 5. or 55 70 feet per second.

Ekky tore it off at 55 93 per second. The difference is .23 feet or 2.76 inches. "And," one of Ihe filberts pointed out. "the Count did it as a two- ear-old. Now he's grown up and his stride has lengthened.

If he's just as fast as he was and that 1 38 3 5 makes it look like his motor's still hot then Ekky's rerord is about as safe as the last pound of butter in the neighborhood grocery." The grown-up part of it is easy to see. Just visit the Count in his barn at Belmont and sou can spnt the difference. He's added three Inches in height and has put on more than 50 pounds, and he still loves to run. But Derby hot ones have a habit of turning Into ice cubes. So ih.
