The Boston Globe from Boston, Massachusetts • 4

THE BOSTON GLOBE SATURDAY. 'APRIL 8, 1939 HAT ABOUT IT? Conf ideBt This Is Their Stanley Cup Year Bees May Shift Training Camp to Orlando, Fla. By MELVILLE WEBB ORLANDO, April 8 Orlando's ball yard looked pretty good to the Bees yesterday. For the first time the boys were able to do a little galloping with no fear of twisting ankles or knees. The result was far better ball handling in the outfield than has been seen in any fame the team has played this pring.

Certainly the combination play of fielders and infielders was encouraging. I find Orlando folk arc much interested in the possibility that the Bees will train down here another season instead of at the very unsatisfactory Bradenton, some 100 miles farther south. Yesterday I sat with Clark Griffith, president of the Senators for the 20th season, and before that manager of the Washingtons for 17 years. The "Old Fox," as the older fans know him, recently discussed with President Bob Quinn of the Bees the possibility of the Boston club training here in 1940. Bob Quinn had his Brooklyn team in Orlando when he was the business manager of the Flatbush gang, and the town looked very good to him.

Would Welcome Bees Boston apparently has not yet made up its mind where it will train another year. Casey Stengel, of course, was in charge of the Dodgers when they had their Spring workouts at the same park where the Senators now are in training. Griffith says he will welcome the Bees. There js another field close to the present park. This has been surveyed and plans submitted to Bob Quinn.

The plans include putting the field in fine order and also the building of a new clubhouse for the Boston players. Griffith thinks that early Spring exhibition games between the Bees and the Senators would draw well, and that there also would be money for both clubs in games which could be arranged respectively with other National and American League clubs. It is understood the Bostons are considering points in Texas ai.d even in California for another season. To date, however, the club owner has been noncommittal regarding his plans. Boston has been interested, at least, in the Orlando proposition, no matter what may come of it.

Yesterday's game was the fourth in which the Bees have been forced to go to extra Innings, They lost two 10-inning battles before taking the pair of 13-innin affairs from the Newark Bears and the Washingtons, Thursday and Friday. Still, the "Look Out!" When Red Sox Start Hitting By GERRY MOORE GREENSBORO, N. April 8 On the heels of their four-hit setback in Lexington, yesterday, this hardly may seem the proper time to suggest the thought, but one of these days the Red Sox are going to start hitting all at once. When they do, they will serve due notice that they're liable to give the Yankees quite a battle this season for the Murderers' Row hitherto exclusive privilege to home run hitting. The Sox did hit all at once yes terday.

Unfortunately it was only during batting practice when they treated some 1300 natives of Lexington to a great show of losing new balls over the fences. Every regular in the Sox lineup drove at least one of Tom Daly'i coveted horsehides out of the environs with Jimmy Foxx and Ted Williams, sick as he was, connecting for several. Natives Exclaim The ohs and ahs of the natives increased in intensity as one after another of the Hose stepped up to the plate and planted one or more drives over the fences, which in left field was further away than Fenway Park and which in right was no soft touch, especially as the wind was blowing right in. The pitching was no pushover either as Lefty Grove and Jim Bagby Jr. were the main servers and weren't exactl: taking it easy.

Of course White "oore and Peaches Davis put a s-ao to this revelry once the contes' ot under way, but one of these some hurler is not going to be so hot and on that occasion the fences in some enclosure will need reenforcement Last season the Yankees out-clouted the Sox in homers, 164 to 98. Right off the bat the Sox have a running start towards cutting down this margin, with Williams and Jim Tabor playing in place of Ben Chapman and Mike Higgins respectively. Chappie and Iron Mike hit 11 home runs between them last season; Williams and Tabor 62. Of course the round trip production, all except one homer which Tabor hit with the bases full for the Sox in Philadelphia, were made by the kids with Minneapolis. At the same time it's been pretty well established by some of the long balls these two youngsters have Johnstown Is Selected To Win Kentucky Derby With Challedon Second By JOHN L'ARDNER DAILY BOOST To the more than 100 marathon-minded plodders who today are preparing for the annual B.

A. A. classic with a short 10-mile uorkout as guests of the Cathedral Club. It's the custom among the country's deeper thinkers at this time of year to encourage sports writers to make themselves look as silly as possible. The sports writer needs very little encouragement on this score, having been born, as the saying goes, with 50 cards to his deck and one foot in his mouth.

So the Sporting News, baseball's trade publication, has a contest every Spring to see which of us prose poets can come closest to naming the; order of finish in the National and American Leagues. And up in Danbury, a guy offers a hat several hats, in fact to writers who nail the Kentucky Derby one-two-three or thereabouts. In both cases, they promise to keep your ballot secret, knowing full well that nothing irritates the sports writers so much as to have his ballot secret, when he can make himself look a million times as silly by publishing the fatal forecast far and wide. The Reasoning of The Mad Hatter "These chumps," says the Mad Hatter of Danbury to himself, or possibly to his wife and children over the tea-time snack of Panama straw with bananas, "will send me their votes in the hope of nicking me for some free millinery, but they will also broadcast their folly, and that will prove to the world that the Mad Hatters of Danbury are not mad at all compared with sports writers, whiov will be a great boost for the Hatters of Danbury, pjX save the mark." The kaii Hatter is correct on every count. The man who attempts to name the winner of the Kentucky Derby in early April, let alone the win-place-show spread1, is bucking fearful odds and wrecking the lives of his grandchildren, since the sins of the fathers are said to visit the third and fourth generations, and not just for the weekend, either.

My guess is as follows: 1. Johnstown. 2. Challedon. 3.

No Competition. I will have to stop off at Danbury in the near future and get myself a fitting, for these horses cannot miss, though I don't positively guarantee the order of finish. Challedon is a solid horse and a stayer and possibly the best of the new 3-year-old lot. However, Dauber was a solid horse and a stayer last year and easily the best of the lot that went in the Derby, yet he ran second to Lawrin because of a slow start. At a mile and a quarter, in the Spring, you want a fast horse with class and certain, even if limited, staying qualities.

That is the description of Johnstown, wanted in seven states for train robbery. El Chico Is Figured No Stayer El Chico, the favorite, has class. He had more early speed than Johnstown last year, though the difference was minute. Bat I don't think the kid, as Chico's name goes in English, is a stayer. I think Johnstown is.

How do I know? I would rather not betray my sources (though if I had any sources, I would betray them like a shot). No Competition is the dark horse. This animal ran in the money eight times in 11 starts as a two-year-old, winning three of those races for good-sized prizes. He is nicely made and a fair bet to run in the money again. You can get real odds on No Competition.

I mean, I can get real odds on him. I would not advise the reader to do so, because that would spoil the price. Johnstown and Challedon are shorter-priced 6, 7, or 8 to 1, depending on where you shop. El Chico is 4 to 1, and no investment at the odds, since there is still a better than even chance with him, as with every other Derby nominee, of a case of botts, neuritis, or undulant fever rising up and putting him to bed before Derby Day, still a month off. And suppose he does run, what has he got? Just speed.

And what did Jesse Owens have? Just who's talking about Jesse Owens? Aside from the three mentioned above, the entries to watch and fear are Porter's Mite, Our Mat, and Benefactor. Porter's Mite is sound, Our Mat has courage, and Benefactor will go on. Between us, this show of Derby knowledge does not impress me, but I hope it will throw a scare into the Mad Hatter of Danbury, whose supply of fedoras trembles in the balance. (Copyrlnht. 1939.

N. A. N. Inc.) DAILY KNOCK To the conceit of the Toronto Maple Leafs for thinking it was the rink and not the Bruins who beat them in the first series game. rums FOUR IN ROW IS THEIR GOAL Maplo Leafs Say: "Wait Until-We Get Home" By HERBERT RALBY Each team confident Thursday's opener established it as the choice to capture the Stanley Cup, the Boston Bruins and the Toronto Maple Leafs meet in the second game of their four-out-of seven series for possession of the coveted "mug" tomorrow night at the North Station rink.

Having won the initial scrap, 2-1, and with the advantage of playing the second game on home ice also, where they have been practically invincible this Winter, it is little wonder the Bruins were in a cocky mood regarding the playoffs. This was their year, they sincerely believed. They have already disposed of the Rangers to gain the final for the first time since 1930 and have been successful in their first tussle with the Smythemen. "We Will WirTF" Strangely enough the Leafs' camp was equally as confident if not more so than the Bruins even in view of the first game setback. "We'll win the series," said Conn Smythe, the personable Toronto maestro in all seriousness yesterday.

Conn had cooled off considerably since his assertions immediately following Thursday's game but he still maintained the Leafs were a better team. "If the Bruins showed all they had the other night, we are a cinch to take them. "We'll be a better club on our own rink," he went on in explanation. "It is larger and gives the speedy players a chance to get in behind the defense and do something. It will also result in fewer offsides for our team.

Did you happen to notice how many times Drillon, going at top speed, was offside just by inches after taking a pass the other night? In Toronto the larger center zone will keep him onside and this will make the difference of several goals to us." The Leafs, also revealed Smythe, won't open up any more tomorrow than they did Thursday. "That is Boston's job to put on the show before their home fans," explained the Colonel. "If they want to lay back and play cozy hockey, it is okay with us. We'll do our flying in Toronto." The Toronto players were not the least disheartened by the 2-1 setback. They all felt they were capable of playing better hockey than they showed in the opener and they still could take the Bruins.

In fact, the Leafs dismissed the opening defeat with a shrug of the shoulders. "We always spot Boston the first game," said Harvey "Busher" Jackson, a veteran of all four previous series. "We give them that first game to make them feel good and then come back and pin their ears back for the rest of the series. Four years ago we lost the first game here, won the second also in Boston and then finished the series In Toronto. Three years ago in a total goal series we spotted the Bruins three goals in Boston and one in Toronto, yet beat them easily.

We have their number and we'll wind up with the cup." Off Their Game Unless climatic conditions interfere as they did the other night, tomorrow's tussle should be much faster and more thrilling than the opener. Both teams were not only considerably hampered by the haze and heat in the Garden Thursday but also appeared to be a bit fatigued from the exertion of their previous series. Both clubs, likewise seemed to be off their "game," probably because of the extra days rest after several days of constant campaigning. With a break in the weather, both teams should be ready for a hectic struggle tomorrow. Neither suffered any crippling injuries in the opener.

Dit Clapper, Jack Portland and Eddie Shore wera the three Boston casualties but their hurts were minor cuts which won't bother them tomorrow. Red-headed Nick Metz was the only Maple Leaf sporting a souvenir of the first game. Nick's mouth was cut for six stitches as a result of a collision with Bobby Bauer's stick in the third period. He too will be ready for duty tomorrow. The Leafs enjoyed a skating drill at the Garden this morning, the players flitting about the ice for an hour to loosen up their muscles.

A few hours later the Bruins held a final get-together before the game to get final instructions from Manager Art Ross. Skating was optional on the part of the players. Ramblers May Clinch Intam Title Tonight CLEVELAND, April 8 (A The Philadelphia Ramblers' chances for the International-American Hockey League championship rests tonight with the sharpshooting pucksterg who led them to the top of the cir-cuit during the regular season. The Ramblers and Cleveland Barons will meet in the fourth, game of their best-of-five playoff, with the Barons holding a 2-to-l game advantage. Cleveland's tight defense tactics have been outstanding in the three title battles.

Goalie Moe Roberts, captain, shone as keeper of the Barons net Another capacity Arena crowd of upwards of 11,000 is assured for tonight's crucial tilt. NED BRANT Wolf Popular Umpire FRANCIS MAHAN Somerville Boy to Umpire in the Northern League 'Tran" Mahan Signs as Umpire in Northern Loop By FRED BARRY Ascending the ladder to higher classification the baseball umpiring profession is Francis "Fran" Mahan of Somerville. Mahan, 28, is a brother of Art Mahan, present Rock first-sacker, who enjoyed such a stellar year in the Eastern League and in all likelihood will be grabbed by a major league outfit in next Fall's draft period. The personable "Fran" hopes to kee- step with his classy brother in the race to the big show. Mahan, along with his umpiring buddies, Jerry McCarthy ant Tohn-ny Mullen, both of Cambridge, will work in the Northern League this Summer, a circuit which bears the well-deserved reputation of being the fastest type of semi-pro ball this side ol the Mississippi.

The above named trio have umpired throughout the Greater Boston baseball area in semi-pro, twilight, school and college competition for the past six seasons. Mahan has continued his sporting proclivities into the dreary Winter season, gaining the distinction of being one of the leading basket-ball officials in the state. Mahan is a graduate of Somerville High School where he played basket ball for three years and later was a star, on the famed Mt. Benedict K. of C.

team in Somerville. Although never a baseball player himself, Fran turned to the difficult art of "pleasing the baseball managers" back in 1931, working in the Suburban Twilight League and "catching on" the high school selected list. He reached a point where such experienced diamond men now running clubs in the Northern League, Jack Barry, Holy Cross coach; Jeff Tesreau, Dartmcth mentor; Doc Gautreau, ex-Pvrple star, and Bill Barrett, ex-White and Red-Socker agreed on his appointment to the northern loop. With a schedule of six games a week and the rosters of the dubs composed of the leading collegiate diamond stars of New England and New York, Mahan realizes the importance of 'clicking' at this time. Mahan will be seen in numerous high school and semipro contests this Spring until he leaves for the New England mountain country June 10.

Lucy Recs Play Lusitano Booters Again Tomorrow By GEORGE M.

Irish-Americana vi. Baltimore German a Boston 4-Ball League Opens Play April 18 By TOM FITZGERALD The Boston Four-Ball League's complete 1939 schedule was announced this morning by Secretary-Treas. Clark Hodder, Starting on April 18, the league will play its usual full round of nine matches, the wlndup on June 13 with the field day at Commonwealth. The matches will be played on Tuesday of each week, with the execution of the last set in May, which has been shifted to Thursday because Memorial Day falls on Tuesday. One notable feature of the list is the new setup, which finds Belmont and Blue Hill making their debuts in league competition to assume the places vacated by The Country Club of Weston.

In sizing up the teams, most observers are already nominating the Woodland powerhouse to hold the title which it annexed last year. Capt Joe Fay's outfit loses two valuable operatives in Parron Jar-boe, who is eschewing four-ball competition this year, and Joe Lynch, who will throw in his lot with the Blue Hill forces, but the strength of the Newton entry shouldn't be lessened to any degree. Ooimet Likely to Play For one thing, Francis Ouimet very likely will be available for league matches and Francis is said to be back at the top of his game. In addition, Capt. Fay can call ion such tested veterans as Jess Guilford, Johnny Corcoran, Ted Bishop, Bill Donnelly, Floyd Faulkner, Bill Maloney, Bob Graham, Murray Purves, B.

E. Benson and A. J. Wellington. On the strength of last year's showing, Brae Burn, which wound up ia second berth in the league standing, should provide the principal contention.

Certainly Capt. Tibolt can cull a formidable alignment from a sparkling list which includes Bill Blaney, the Heath boys, Joe Galvin Ray Gorton, Rutherford Ainslie, Jerry Reed, Bill Kimball, Johnny, Vic Carpenter and Alvah Pierce. The race promises to be closer than it was last season. Both Blue Hill and Belmont will bring 6trong entries into the fold and most of the other teams in the league's ranks have fortified their positions since the conclusion of last season.

Winchester, Dempsey Says Buddy Baer Best Title Prospect KANSAS CITY, April 8 (A. Who's the best heavyweight prospect for lifting Joe Louis' title? Jack Dempsey, who once did quite a bit of mauling himself, paused with his fork halfway to his mouth and grinned. "You'll laugh when I tell you." he said. "But it's Buddy Baer." "He's big," the one-time champ said. "He can hit.

And he can take a beating. Some day he's going to find himself." Dempsey should know the brothers Baer pretty well. He helped bring out Max, the playboy, He predicted Max would knock the heavyweight crown off Primo Car-nera's head. Max did. In and out of training camps he learned much about Max' little brother." the 254-pound Buddy who has had his ups and downs in the ring.

Dempsey wouldn't give a nickel for Jack Roper's or Tony Galento'i chances against the Brown Bomber. "Roper can't fight, but he has an outside chance better than Galento, 1000 to 1, maybe. (Louis takes on Roper in Los Angeles April 17 and Galento in New York in June.) "Roper is a good puncher. He might land one. "I used to have Galento, five years ago.

He was better then than he is now. He is wide open. What if he should by some chance hit Louis? Joe Is game. He can get up off the floor." The Louis-Galento scrap will draw a $400,000 to $500,000 gate, Dempsey forecast, "and that's big money. Galento is colorful.

Much has been written about him. The fight will draw big from the Metropolitan area; not so good from the rest of the country."

Barefoot Rookie Can't Play Ball With Shoes On CHATTANOOGA, April 8 (A. Joe Engel, king of jokers and scourge of the serious, came up today wtih a barefoot baseball player for his team in the Southern Association.

A saw-mill operator friend of Engel led the boy wonder into the Chattanooga Stadium "Joshing" Joe saw the point the bare feet. "I'll sign him," he ejaculated. "Maybe he ain't no Feller or Hutchinson, but he don't wear shoes The lad is 19-years-old Durward Hammond, who grew to his present six feet in the sandy hills of Pike County, Ga. Never has he worn shoes, he declares. "They hurt," was his succinct explanation.

"Once I had a pair." drawled Durward, wiggling his toes comfortably, "but I gave them to my brother. They sure gave him trouble and he never was able to play no baseball." Durward admits lack of shoes has caused him some embarrassment. "I led my high school class," he said, "and we had to wear eaps and gowns when we got our diplomas. I reckon my feet sort of looked funny sticking out from under that gown." He does i't know what size shoes he would wear if he wore shoes. "I just ain't tried on any in or four years," he apologized, looking speculatively at a foot built along the trim lines of a spade.

"I reckon I hit right good and I can catch most anything that comes out," he drawled. "Won't being barefooted handicap you?" he was asked. "Well," he pondered, Georgia guile creeping into his eyes, "I hear there was a feller named Joe Jackson that used to play right good baseball without shoes." Engel roared, jabbed Durwarw in the ribs with a thumb and shouted, "Ain't he a card." Comle Paget. club so fa? has not fared very well in its major league competitions.

For the next two days Stengel intends to start what he ranks as his first team, but he will make a very early switch to the second stringers. Fellows like Sisti in the infield and Hodgin in the outfield are lads whom Casey wants to see working with the rest of regular gang. Hodgin, as we have said before, has made a fine impression in the outfield. Considerably mere than newcomers Dickshot and Outlaw, for instance. Veterans Help Kids Sisti has developed fast about the middle infield in combination with Warstler.

Miller has come along the same way with Cuccinello. Miller figured in four of the five double plays made by the Bees over that 13-inning route, and Cuccinello had a hand in all five. It is a great thing in favor of the team spirit of Warstler and Cuccinello, that they go out cf the way to help kids, who, for all they know, sometime might be landing the jobs which they, themselves are now holding down.

By Bob Zuppkc hit this Spring that they pack more wallop than their predecessors. The biggest difference in homer production between the Croninmen and Yankees last year was in Yankee Stadium, where the home clubbers picked up 112 circuit blows in 77 games as contrasted to three round trippers, two by Foxx and one by Joe Vosmik, in 11 games by the Sox. The Hose failed to make up this deficit in their chummy Fens where they made only 68 in 77 games while the Yanks were adding 9 in 11 to their total. They were fairly even in the rest of the park. Williams should make a big difference in the Yankee Stadium alone.

"Ah look for that boy to wear down those short right field bleachers in Yankee Stadium," drawled Tabor yesterday as he watched lanky Ted lace a 350-foot drive into the teeth of a wind over the right field wall at Lexington. Over Left-Field Fence Just to show he isn't confined to pull hitting, Williams wound up and blasted the next pitch over the left field wall, 341 feet away. Still another factor in the Sox long range clouting this year should be Bobby Doerr. Bobby hit only five home runs last season, all at Fenway Park, but has shown more power this Spring than ever before. It would not be surprising if he came close to trebling his total this year.

Yesterday he hit a ball that would have come close to going into the center field bleachers at the Fens, only to have it run down by a sensational catch by the speedy Ival Goodman on the Lexington diamond. All of which may prove one more item to mull over for those who are seeking ways and means by which the Vawkey A. A. msy knock over the champions this year. Now if only the pitching would look up!
