NEW YORK. (UP). Gotham's turf addicts manifested heightened confidence and general expectancy Tuesday because Thursday will find Jamaica inaugurating a 180-day state horse racing season that even the most rabid conservative must admit la full of promise. Practically every thorobred of renown In the country has arrived or is on the way for a fat schedule of lucrative purses. Thus, in the absence of any war-Inspired interruptions, the excellent transportation facilities of the New York baseball, he always has been est moan that in eight years in with clubs deep in the second promised him that this record has moved in with the Philadelphia Athletics.

Altho most junior league teams are still experimenting with their lineups, the St. Louis Cardinals are in such excellent shape for manpower that it's possible today to predict their likely batting order.

Coach Presnell stated Tuesday that spring football practice hasn't been officially called off altho "It's dying a natural death." "Some of the boys want to come out to keep in condition and have been playing a little touch oot Presnell declared. -''Some like Herb von GoeU, Bob Gillespie, Joe Partington, Fred Me-theny and othera who have been out regularlly will continue to report as often as possible.

They will be supervised under staff direction when Its members are not engaged with the army's physed program." Bob Considlne, nationally known columnist, apparently sees little hope of the major baseball leagues lasting out the season. The game faces the possibility of being shut down for the duration because unlike every other American Industry, it cannot exiat with substitutes. "Other trades can continue to (unction well by calling tn men well over the draft age to fill the places of the departed. Baseball Is finding difficult to do Just now.

Spring practice drills all over for Cornliuskers The "No Practice" sign was out Monday afternoon, thus ending the 1943 spring grid drills at the University of Nebraska.

Lack of interest and poor attendance forced the Cornhusker staff to call it quits at the halfway mark. A game had been planned last Friday but not enough players were or hand to make one eleven. Over a three week span the attendance never reached the 30 mark and after negotiations with Missouri for a spring game fell thru, interest sagged even more.

Several hundred persons attended Monday's meeting at which the question of additional racing days was debated. A NEW YORK. What will the price be against the Cardinals this season? April has already rounded the corner and la now on its way to opening day.

And the morning line is almost due. There have been no set figures offered so far on the coming pennant races, but Sunday night I ran across two well-known bet-' ting commissioners who have followed baseball closely for many years. Both had the Cardinals and Yankees well out in front, which proves they are not dumb, but both rated the Cardinals as the surest thing any pennant race had ever known. "The Cardinals," one of them told me, "will be one of the shortest prices ever known. They may be around three to five." "Against the field?" I asked.

"It isn't against the field," one of them said. "It's against the Dodgers. What other club has a chance?" "What about the famous in roads of the well known draft and the manpower situation?" I sug gested, -mat mignt upset everything." ALL FIGURED OUT. "Here's the way it is," one of them said. "The Cardinals were the best club in baseball last season, meaning both leagues, and they are still the best club in baseball today.

"We all know that every club In the two big leagues Is going to lose players from time to time, all spring and summer. But the Cardinals can atill afford to lose mora men than any other team. "For example, they atill have 11 good pitchers and three or four others who might be-good. Say they have 12 pitchers, headed by Mort Cooper.

They will still have a fine staff left I mean seven or eight good ones. And they still have that speeifr and youth which the Dodgers haven't got" DODGERS GOOD FOR SECOND. I asked these two well-known exponents of chance how they rated the Dodgers. "The second-best team, with something: to spare," one of them said. "I like the Dodgers' pitch- ine staff and thev mav outhit the tjarainais.

PHILLIES! GUESS WHERE? Our two wagering friends coulcM't split Cubs, Reds, Giants and Pirates. "Mel Ott will get every ounce out of what he has left," one of them said, "but it will take a lot of ounces to make up for Johnny Mize, Babe Young and Harry Danning. They should get plenty in the way of hustling, plus some good pitching.

But they've lost too many big guns. "The Reds have good pitching, but again no punch. Johnny Vander Meer and Bucky Walters are two of the best. The Cubs have good pitching, extra good, but how much else? Frankie Frlsch will keep his Pirates scrambling with all they have. So will Casey Stengel with the Braves, who have had too many hard Jolts." "What price against-these I asked.

"Twenty to one, and take your pick," he said. "I'd hate to try to split them apart Reds, Giants, Cubs and Pirates should finish under a blanket." "What price against the Phillies?" "Three to five, if you'll turn the standing upside down." Browns there. Manager Luke Sewell said Monday. Sewell also disclosed that Southpaw Archie McKain, last of the Browns' holdouts, has agreed to terms and will join the club in St Louis Friday.

The National football league requested delegates to its spring meeting to park their long faces outside the door Monday night as they checked In for the three-day parley which opens Tuesday.

Commissioner Elmer Layden said the sessions would be conducted on the can and will play football" theme unless investigations should prove conclusively the pro league can't weather the de mands of selective service on player personnel. It's not going to be easy, I know," Layden said. "Our easy source of playing material college football ranks Is gone for the duration.

(Called cad of ellil Inolngt by acrcefnent.) LEFTY GOMEZ HURLS FOR BRAVES' REGULARS. WALLTNGFORD, Conn. UPi. After being treated harshly at the outset, the veteran Lefty Gome regained his oldtime control while pitching three Innings for the Boston Bra ves regulars in a six-inning 4-4 intra-squad practice tilt Monday at Choate school. Gomez was pounded for two triples and a pair of singles dur ing the first inning, when the yannigans collected three runs.

Whirlaway, greatest money winner of all time, headed a field of 32 topnotchers announced Monday for the $20,000 Dixie handicap May 1, one of the high spots 'of Plmlico's spring "street car meeting." The Maryland Jockey club also reported approvalof an additional five days of horse racing by the state racing commission, and a decision to start five days earlier April 16. The meet, which was scheduled for a 15-day run beginning April 22, will wind up May 8 with the renewal of the Preak- ness. Receipts from the extra days will go to war relief. Seeks Second Victory.

Umpires have to be on guard during season Junior loop has hut 10 arbiters CHICAGO. The poor umpire, who works two to four hours a day seven days a week unless it rains or the teams have a day off, will be doubly on his guard against injuries or sickness in the American league this season, for there will be only 10 arbiters in uniform instead pf the 12 who took the field last vear. The league irrelatively free of military draft worries in this de partment, however, for but one umpire, Ernest Stewart, is under the 38 year old mark and he has two children.

Ten men will be by no means a low for umpiring staffs, for sev eral years ago the Junior circuit had only eight men available. Last year 12 is a high point. Three, Starters Lost. Thru non-draft causes the league has lost three of last year's Harry Geisel and John Quinn have resigned and Steve Basil is on the voluntarily tired list. The only war casualty is Art Passarella, who goes into the army April 19.

To build up its staff the American circuit acquired two men from the American association at the close of last season Charles Berry, who worked the last month of the major league season and made a fine impression, and Hal J. Weafer, who was taken jon pp-tion but not used in 1942. Weafer spent the) last five years In the association after previous duty in the Bi-State and Interna- tional leagues. Forty-two years old, he played first base In the minors for more than a decade. did some scouting for the Brook- lyn Dodgers for a couple of years and then started umpiring in 1935.

With the duties of Umpire-In Chief Thomas H. Connolly falling into the administrative line only, holdovers from the 1942 opening- day staff are William A. Mc Qowan, William Summers, Calvin Hubbard, William T. Grieve, Ed win A. Rommell, Joseph Rue, George Pipgras and Stewart.

In addition to introducing Ro berto, one jot the Cubans who managed to escape from the Washington Senators and now is the A regular left fielder, it also serves to indicate just where the Athletics fit into the American league landscape. It's as safe as money in the bank to bet that Mr. McGillicuddy's athletes will get just about as far as usual.

Has New Outfit. They've been training here for two weeks now and except that they're not eating quite so many filet mignons you'd recognize them in a minute as the same old outfit. That is, they're the same from the viewpoint of how to win friends and wind up in last place. Actually, It's a brand new earn. The one big loss to the armed forces was that of Phil Marchil-don, the fancy fllnger who won 17 games last year a record that is practically out of this world with a club like the A's.

As a result, Connie's pitching staff this summer will be reorganized around two holdover knuckle bailers RogerWolff and Luman Harns, who won 23 between 'em. Another returning elbower, Russ Christopher, showed some prom ise last year altho winning only four. Best of the others are Jess Flores, a 24-year-old Mexican up from Los Angeles with a screwball and other "cute" stuff, and Orle Arntzen, a fugitive from the St. Louis Cardinals' chain gang who won seven out of eight at Wllliamsport last year. Mayo On Third.

Eddie Mayo, once of the New York Giants and Boston Braves wfttt from Los Angeles, definitely will be on third base, and Jojo White, who used to patrol the Detroit Tiger outer garden and is back in the big-time again after four years in Seattle, will handle the center field chores. He will be flanked by Estalella in left and Elmer 'the rock" Valo, a fearful .251 flaller last in right. Felix Mackiewicz the 200-pound Purdue football end coach, may break in. Dick Siebert, whose trick knees are behaving themselves, is back on first; Pete Suder is slated for second, while the shortfleld will be roamed by Irv Hall, from Williamsport. One newcomer who shouldn be overlooked Is Jim Tyack, a 30- year old outfielder who has hit 300 or more for Little Rock the past five years.

Just why he never got the big league call be fore is a mystery McGillicuddy will solve before long. (BahshcdL FORT HANCOCK, N. J. UP). With Jim Turner, Lefty Russo and Ernie Bonham combining to pitch six hit ball, the New York Yankees whipped the Fort Hancock nine 7 to 2 for their second victory in three exhibition baseball games.

Johnny Llndell, the Yanks' batting star in their first two games against Newark, failed to get a hit off four soldier hurlers. The only extra blow off the Yankee bats was a double by Joe Gordon in the seventh when the American league champs put together three of their nine hits with an error and base on balls to count three times.

He's a long ball hit ter of the type Southworth likes in the sixth slot of his batting order. Walker Sub for Moore. Walker was with the Cardinals last season and saw frequent service as a centerfield substitute for Terry Moore, hanging up creditable average of .314, He's fleet footed, fitting in well with the team's dependence on speed in its offense.

Back of this probable starting lineup, Southworth was a plethora of reserves, with a capable man or two for every position. That, again, is more than any other team manager can say, and some of them would be saying thanks if they could put uniforms on the Cardinals' second-stringers.

Either George Fallon or Lou Klein will succeed Brown at second, the peppery Cardinals captain goes into military service. Klein normally ia a shortstop and could fill In for if necessary.

Debs Garms, one-time National league batting champion, can play third base as well as the outfield. Along with the possible addition of Hopp, the Cardinals also have Coaker Triplet, Frank Demaree and Dain Clay as outfield candi dates. The pitching staff should be more than adequate with Morton Cooper, Harry Gumbert, Ernie White and Max Lanier as a "big four," supported by a promising crop of rookies. Late Geo.
