PAGE EIGHT THE JACKSON SUN WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29, 1936 BLOND BOY AND FAMOUS HORSE FEARED IN DERBY Wayne Wright And Brevity Rule As Favorites I For Saturday Classic BY ORLO ROBERTSON (Associated Press Sports Writer) LOUISVILLE, April 29-(AP) -A tow-headed boy, neatly dressed in a riding outside one of Churchill greenhabipololled painted barns, occasionally his eyes wandered to a nearby paddock where another boy, not so neatly attired, was cooling out a horse. Scores of men walked past, paying little or no heed to the boy, except to wish him 'Good morning." The horse attracted even less attention as he walked round and round the small circle, almost like a robot. Suddenly a broad smile broke on the boy's countenance as if he was deciding. Then a sigh of contentment, he settled back into his chair with an air 'hat saidall's right with the world. And content he might well be for the boy was Wayne Wright; the horse, J.

Little Rock protected third place by handing Birmingham another dose fine pitching to win 8 to 1.

Each team collected 12 hits but Atlanta made seven of runs before theirs in the fifth, wacorind seven Ahearn held the home team fairly well in hand until the big blowoff and Schmidt held the Vols to a single unearned run until after his teammates had run up a 9-1 lead. He weakened after that and had to be relieved in the ninth but still received credit for his fourth win. Kola Sharpe made the Birmingham fans suffer by holding the Barons to three hits.

The dose was particularly bitter coming on the heels of a hitter pitched by Rogers Monday. The Travelers pounded away at Sims, finally driving him from the the eighth with a assault. The winners collected 12 hits with Deal and Liberto getting three and two, respectively. Knoxville's Bill Beckman seemed to have a ball game pretty well in hand as he went into the eighth with the Smokies leading 3-2.

TO RENEW FEUD IN MONDAY FEATURE Questionable Decision Leads To Demands For ReMatch Next Week The fistic feud between Tiger Burns of Sardis, and Raymond McNatt of Bemis will be renewed in the American Legion arena next Monday night with something more than a decision in prospect. Jack Lazarow, promoter, announced today that he had signed the boys following demands from each principal. Burns claims that he was robbed of the decision while McNatt wishes to even the score for what he regarded as an intentional low punch. McNatt won decision two nights ago but the fight settled little if anything.

Two judges voted for McNatt with the third for Burns. The fans were equally divided though the Burns supporters were at least loudest in their protests. Sammy Alexander of Jackson and Billy Ray of Memphis are matched for the semi-final of eight rounds. Alexander gained the semi-final spot through his showing Murray Estes this week. It is the first appearance here of the Memphian.

Flint Rhem May Ask Landis to Get His Release NASHVILLE, April 29-(AP)Flirt Rhem, veteran of the baseball mound, today contemplated an appeal to Kennesaw M.

Landis, the game's highest authority, because he says the Nashville club values him too highly. The season was less than two weeks old when Rhem, formerly a star in the big leagues, was suspended and fined $100 for breaking training rules Chattanooga. Manager Lance Richbourg said Rhem would never play another game as long as he was in the saddle. The club, Rhem said, told him to make a trade for himself. 'I called up Rogers Hornsby (Manager of the St.

Louis Browns) and he said he was not interested in me at the price they asked for me."

The first intersectional brushes of the season over, the eastern clubs find themselves with five victories, against one for the clubs from the inland cities. The World Champion Detroit Tigers downed the Washington Senators 8-1 yesterday to record the National Pirates victory foruthen West. In went down before the Phillies 9-7 and the juvenile Reds were defeated 5-2 by the Boston Bees.

American League encounters. the Yankees shut out the Indians 2-0, the Red Sox beat the White Sox 11-8 and the Athletics defeated the Browns 4-2. Three fine pitching performances were turned in with Charley Ruffing, the big Yankee flinger, topping the others with a fourhit shutout over the Indians. Ruffing pitched, ball for five innings, Sullivan getting the first safety off him in the sixth. He struck out three and did not allow a single base on balls.

Harry Kelley, the 30-year-old rookie of the Athletics who pitchthree-hitter against the Red Sox a week ago, let the Browns down with six bingles and two runs. Lefty Joe Sullivan, making his first start of the season for the Tigers, held the Senators to eight hits and kept the situation under control at all times. Hank Greenberg got his first homer of the year as the Tigers lambasted two Washington twirlers. Goose Goslin also hit for the circuit. Cy Blanton, sensation rookie of last season, was knocked from the box for the fourth time this season as the Phils downed the Bucs.

He lasted only three and twothird innings. Old Tom Zachery started on the mound for the Phillies but was shelled from the mound after five and -third innings. The Red Sox murderer's row took kindly to the offerings of four Chicago pitchers getting 16 hits with Jimmie Foxx hitting his fifth homer of the year. Billy Werber made one of the most sensational catches of the season when he ran down the stairs of the dougout and with one hand on the roof, speared a fly with the other. Ray Benge, pitching for the Bees, held the Reds hitless for five innings.

The Bees made 14 hits off the slants of Paul Derringer in eight innings. Rain and wet grounds caused postponement of the Cards and Dodgers-Cubs games. that figure for him. "Then I called Burleigh Grimes at Louisville and when he found out what it would cost to buy my release he wouldn't pay it. "They could have swapped me to the St.

Louis Browns, but they asked for either Burns or Bottomley. "So I believe I will see Landis about. I am doing nothing and nobody is paying me anything." Not until the end of the 16th century did the cult of pillar saints disappear.
