The good Dean has five men he can run in the 440 and 880, and chances are he will send his ace performer, Arno Elias, to the post in the half-mile.

Elias in Form Elias has been showing fin form in the one-lapper, but ha will be up against the Engineers' Ken Shauer, who can hit close to 49s. Instead, Cromwell indicated he will enter Tom Tackett in the 440 and shoot Elias and John Anderson against Shauer- in the 880 an event that comes approximately 20 minutes after the quarter. Another piece of strategy Cromwell Is brewing up is to enter George Beaman, primarily a sprinter, in the low hurdles, ohe of the Engineers' weak links. Beaman has been working on the barriers this week7 and has displayed fair hurdling form that may carry him through with his speed. Following are the S.C.

Warriors Face Romans in Prep Track Feature Eddie Hudson, Nick Moran Box in Legion Ring Nick Moran, who has proven he is worth more than the $1000 bill Gus Wilson paid for his contract, is taking his next step as the "$1000 beauty" tonight at the Holl.vwood Legion Stadium against the classy Eddie Hudson. Since the transaction Moran stopped Bohby Yaeger in a round, drew with John Thomas, lost a decision to Yaeger and beat Artie Dorrell. Just now Wilson figures that Moran is the logical man to box Bob Montgomery, and if he wins again he may get the shot. In Fast Company Hudson has been traveling lrt fast company for some time. He holds a win over Yaeger and a draw with Matt Ogglesby.

By RAVEN DYER With BIng Crosby and Leo McCarey contributing much to Its phenomenal success, there is ample reason for discussing "Going My Way" on the sports pages. Bing's connections with sports are too well known to need repeating here. But many Times readers may have forgotten that Leo was an athlete, too, at St. Vincent's, and that his famous father, Uncle Tom McCarey, was, for years, Southern California's beloved fight promoter. Since first hearing about the film I have never ceased to wonder how Director Mc Carey hit upon the happy idea of having Bing wear a St.

Louis Browns uniform in this (1944) of all years. So I asked Leo. "Well, to begin with," said McCarey, "I had a very dear friend in St. Louis. His name was Father O'Malley.

And that's how Bing happened to have that name in the picture. BROWXS IX CELLAR "Thf I thought I'd kid Fa ther O'Malley, the real person, a bit by having Bing wear the Browns uniform. You remem ber the scene we put Bing in the cellar where he was teaching the boys how to sing. We all thought that would be a swell gag Bing in a Browns uniform in the cellar. "Of course, when we made the picture we had no idea the Browns would double-cross us and win the pennant.

So our gag back-fired, but I dare say we were just as happy about the Browns winning as any of the hottest St. Louis fans." There's a tragic note to the story Father O'Malley died in St. Louis, without ever seeing the picture. GREW WITH GREATS All the old-timers of the boxing fraternity are mighty happy that Leo, with Bing, won Academy awards for "Going My Way." For the old-timers know that it couldn't happen to a better guy than Leo. As a kid he practically used a boxing glove for a teething ring and as.

a little boy was bounced on the knees of such ring greats as Freddy Welsh, Battling Nelson, Joe Gans and Johnny Kilbane. To this day Leo ranks Gans as one of his top favorites. "Dad was partially partial to Gans, too," said Leo yesterday when I visited him on the set of "The Bells of St Mary's" where Bing, and another Academy winner, Ingrid Bergman, are costarred. JOE RIA'ERS, TOO- "Guess maybe Joe Rivers was as big a favorite with Dad as any boxer," continued McCarey. "He always liked to watch Sam Langford and Stanley Ketchell, too.

They, with Gans, never failed to put on a great show. Later Benny Leonard came along and I learned to rank him with the top favorites of my book." Leo considers Jim Jeffries the greatest of all heavyweights because of his tremendous punch, all-around skill and ability to take it. Victories over Jim Corbett and Bob Fitzsimmons had much to do with McCarey's estimate of Jeff. "Joe Louis deserves a world of credit for his great comeback after being knocked out by Max Schmeling," said Leo. "His steady improvement has been one of the miracles of the game, to me, for it isn't easy to wipe out the memory of a beating such as Louis took from the German." TOP FIGHTERS Mickey Walker, Jimmy Mc-Larnin, Bud Taylor, Abe At-tell, Jimmy Wilde, Frankie Genaro, Newsboy Brown, Pan-cho Villa and Fidel La Barba are others who thrilled the McCarey family down through the annals of boxing history.

"I think you'll agree with me that McLarnin, at his peak, wa3 one of the game's greatest fighters, in addition to being a top crowd pleaser," continued McCarey. "I never tired of seeing Jimmy fight. Almost from the beginning he was one of the smartest ringmen we ever had, which is a great tribute to his teacher, old Pop Foster. The way he could slip and dodge punches is something you don't see very- often these days. "Remember, too, that during his career Jimmy defeated 13 foes who held titles at some time, among them Fidel La Barba, Bud Ta3'lor, Tancho Villa, Jackie Fields, Sammy Mandell, Young Jack Thompson, Barney Ross, Young Corbett and others.

There aren't many boxers who can point to such a brilliant record." Cubs-Sox Tilts Off CHICAGO, April 12. (JP) In deference to the death of President Roosevelt, the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago White Sox called off their scheduled city series exhibition games tomorrow and Saturday. APRIL 13, 1945 tation program come Sunday. The pair, who've done probably more than any other duo to help promote the war effort through golf, team up with George Lake, new prexy of the local P.G.A. and Recreation Park pro, teeing off at 1:30 p.m.

For a change. Gagman Hope won't have to talk Crooner Crosby out of any strokes (unless it's a locRer-room Issue,) because both will be pitching for Lake against a top field. Bond Prizes The best of the local play-for-play shotmakers will be shooting for $1000 hi War Bond prizes posted by the sponsoring Huntington Tark Junior Chamber of Commerce. Fans expecting to be at the tournament Sunday are asked to bring old clubs and balls which wounded war veterans may use on pitch and putt courses. Funds from the rehabilitation program will be used to build the midget links at veteran hospitals.

On Monday there's another pro-amateur scheduled, this one at Santa Ana Country Club for $500 in War Bonds. Some 25 pros already have signed for this event. EXmBITIOXS Betty Jameson and Babe Zaharias leave here tonight for two northern appearances over the week-end. both of which will aid the Northern California P.G.A. rehabilitation fund.

Tomorrow they play with Ernie Pieper and George Richmond at San Jose and Sunday the gals move over to Alameda. They return here next week and there's a possibility they may play a charity event at lakeside before going to San Antonio. There they complete their 72-hole exhibition in which the Babe holds a 4-up edge off last Sunday's opener at Los Angeles CC. Terrgr Faces Cougar on Beach Mat The Golden Terror, 300 pounds of enraged manhood giving him the benefit of the doubt will pitch into the Masked Cougar tonight, in the main event of the attractive all-star program at Ocean Park Arena. The Terror has plenty of reason to be enraged.

Last week he was unmasked anrf hv the nonpar too after years of grappling under that golden hood.

House. Baseball lost a staunch supporter in Franklin D. Roosevelt. His frequent "green light" gestures, in fact, probably kept the professional game from being padlocked for the duration. Harry Truman, the new Chief Executive, likewise has heartily indorsed wartime "ball.

In an interview only last Saturday he said: Truman Praises Sport "The great American game of baseball is the most popular organized sport oflfcur people. Both on the home front and on the battle front, along with other sports, baseball has made tremendous tontributions to our war effort and to our national morale. "As a vital part of our American way of life, baseball is among the many things we are fighting for. "As another major league season is about to open, I want to join our enthusiastic sports fans and say 'Play So it seems very unlikely, especially with the European strife apparently in its last stages, that there will be any interference with the game; save for continued demands of the armed forces for additional men. Army Vetoes Moran Along that line, First Baseman Butch Moran of the Hollywood Stars took another- pre-induction physical exam yesterday, but was rejected.

The Twinks have added two more pitchers, signing John Marshall, released recently by Oakland, and Johnny Rager, port-sider who was dropped t'other day by Los Angeles. Both were in the league last year but saw little service and Won no games. This spring, Marshall relieved in one Oak game. Rager never got closer to action than the bullpen. In this evening's local scuffle, which starts at the usual 8 o'clock hour, Ronnie Smith will oppose 18-year-old Alex Talica, who has notched two wins for the Rain'ters this season with out meeting defeat.

Each club has won once in the present series and each by a one-run margin. A simultaneous slugging rec ord of some sort must have been set in Wednesday's Coast'League contests. Hollywood, with 9 runs and 12 hits, beat Seattle, which got 8 runs and 15 hits; Sacramento, with 15 runs and 19 hits, beat Los Angeles, which got 11 runs and 13 hits: Oakland, with 11 runs and 15 hits, beat San Diego, which got 6 runs and 13 hits: Portland, with 9 runs and 15 hits, beat San Francisco, which got 3 runs and 14 hits. That's a grand total of 72 runs and 116 hits in four games! Elko's String Ends With all that clubbing, the Angels' Pete Elko came to the end of a string that had begun with the season's opening game and lasted through 12 games. Although Elko was leading the loop in batting.

Manager Will Sweeney relegated him to the bench Wednesday with the return of Shortstop Guy Miller and he failed to connect in a pinch-hitting role. Vic Picetti, Oakland's 17-year-old first baseman, came through again to maintain his record of hitting in every gam? of the current campaign. Foul Tips Sorry, follfs, but Rosy Cantrell, Hollywood's left fielder, didn't make 12 putouts in Wednesday's fracas It was a typograpn ical error Had he done so, it'd have been a Pacific Coast League record The present high-water mark for outfielders is 11 for a nine-inning game, 12 for an extra-inning game. Earl Escalante, erstwhile Twink twirler, now is stationed at Camp a 1 Manager jjoipn camuii of Oakland Is on the pan for not appearing in more games He got off on the wrong foot by. refraining from any participation, even as a pinch hitter, the season opener at the home park.

Generals Retain Gymnastic Title Washington's gymnastic Samsons walked off with their second straight city high school championship yesterday as they chaiked up 35 points to win the All-City finals at Manual Arts.

The two-time title winners were sparked by Rope Climber Jack Connors, who established a new interscholastic record by hositing himself up the 25-foot string in 5.4s. It was a second bettor than the old record. Frank Betkner of Franklin High won high point honors. He tied for first in the parallel bars and took second in the rings for 8M digits.

Sportraits. Shades of Frankie Albert! A left-handed (and footed) quarterback may engineer the out U.C.L.A. way this fall as the Bert LaBrucherie regime starts regiming. We refer to Ernie Case, who was an apprentice signal-barker on the Bruin varsity squads of '40 and '41, after which he went into the service. Case, now a first lieutenant in the Army Air Forces, expects to receive a medical discharge in the very near future and is definitely planning on returning to the campus to earn his degree and play more football.

Ernie, yon may recall, was shot down over Italy while on a bombing mission and slapped into a Nazi prison camp. He escaped and made his way back to Allied territory, but had injured his back parachuting from his disabled, plane and was returned to this country. He now is stationed at Mather Field, near 1 i I 6 .67 67 3 18 .500 3 1 10 .500 3 .500 2 .500 5 .500 0 .500 ft .313 6 .333 1 .000 4 8 4 .000 i BV JOHX DE LA VEGA To all intents and purposes, the Western League dual track title will be decided thia afternoon when Coach Jim Purcell's University Warriors, defending loop and city champs, take on the Los Angeles Romans in the feature of a 15-meet city high school program. All meets get under way at 2:30 p.m. With five returning lettermen and a bumper crop of ex-B per formers back, the Warriors figure to have too much first-place strength for the visiting Romans.

Except for the sprint duels expected between Romans Irlton French and Dick Senseny and Warrior Don Lawrnce, the hosts may sweep the blue ribbons on the running events. Quarter-miler Bob Amos, S80 flash Fred Beck, Miler Ed Gaines and Hurdler Dick Danielson have too much class for the visitors. Any chance L.A'. has of vic tory is to shunt Lawrence to third in both the 100 and 220 a mightv difficult task, inasmuch as the Warrior flash has rambled the distances in 10.3s. and 23.1s.

French won the city 220 race last year and Senseny is reported to be pressing him. Romans Finlay and Novick are favored in the shot-put and broad jump, respectively, but Lionel Dover of Unihi has an edge in the high jump. Ranking close behind In competition and high caliber marks is the Eastern League match between Huntington Park and Jordan on the latter's field. The oc PREP ACE HURLS NO-HIT VICTORY Trep baseball's Hall of Fame admitted another member yesterday as Chris Remo of Los Angeles High tossed a no-hit, no-run, 8-0 victory over the invading San Pedro nine. Remo, a 12th grader, struck out 12 Pirates as he twirled his near-perfect game he didn't issue a single walk but hit one batsman.

It was a practice game. Score: R. E. San Pedro 000 000 00 0 Los Anaelea 003 041 it 8 8 1 and Morrow; Remo ana Harvey. Sacramento, and is keeping in shape by playing first base for the camp baseball team.

Like Ail-American Albert, who led Stanford to a Rose Bowl triumph in 1941, Ernie's just a little guy. But he could throw and kick that swine-hide like nobody's business and it's a cinch that his war experiences have toughened and matured him. While we're on the subject here's some dope about other Uclan gridders now in the service: Lt. Milton (Snuffy) Smith, All-Coast end and a member of the school's one and only Rose Bowl team (the '42 club,) writes from Madigan General Hospital, Ft Lewis, Washington, that he'll come a-visitin' soon. Smith was the only survivor of a five-man tank crew that suffered a direct hit in France.

He had to have 120 stitches taken and has just begun to walk again. Snuffy scribbles that "they treated me like a Dodgers Buy Ervin Palica, Times' Player BROOKLYN, April 12. CP) Ervin Palica, 17-year-old former Narbonne (Lomita, Cal.) high, school player, was purchased today from the Montreal Royals by the Brooklyn Dodgers. He is a pitcher-infielder and is being groomed as a shortstop. Palica last year took part In the All-America Boys game at the Polo Grounds as a selection of the Los Angeles Times.

Howie Schultz, towerlnj Brooklyn first baseman, and Shortstop Tom Brown were sent to St. Paul of the American A sociation on 24-hour recall. Brown, a 17-year-old candidate for the shortstop Job, played 50 games for the Dodg ers last season and was billed as regular in that berth at th start of spring training thi year. Helms Honors Phillips Five The Phillips Petroleum Co. of Bartlesville, will today be the recipient of the Helms Athletic Foundation award, ia recognition of its sponsorship of the famed Phillips 66 basketball team, and for its contribution to amateur basketball over a period of many years.

The attractively framed Helms scroll for the Phillips Petroleum Co. will be presented to Frank Phillips, chairman of the board and cofounder of the Phillips company. The presentation will take place at the offices of Helms Athletic Foundation. The Phillips 66 team won the national A.A.U. title at Denver last month.
