i i 1 BILL CORUM Says Last of Super-Star That's Lou Gehrig A Fine American Loved Baseball (Ry International News Service) CINCINNATI, May 4. As fine an American boy and man as ever ptayed the American game of basebatl, or any frame, figuratively touched the bill of cap as a super-star for the last time in Detroit Tuesday, thereby putting a period to a record that will stand as long as 1 kids chase balls in country meadows and on corner lots. I have known Lou Gehrig longer than any other sports writer, per- tOU GEHRIG IP BE JQ haps as intimate ly. As a sweaty, clumsy kid in a baggy pair of knickerbockers on old South field at Columbia university, he was all boy. And all of that boy wanted to bo a ball player.

As a man, gain ing in poise and bearing with the years, he has Been one of the great players of all time. And more, he has been a man. He has been, an example and I Inspiration for any other poor boy who sees a goal before him and means to reach it, if striving and1 grim determination will take htm there. All his life Lou Gehrig has been a dig-in guy. Whatever place he has carved for himself in the only hall of fame that means anything, the esteem and respect of those with whom we live, he has made alone.

Whatever pinnacles he has reached he had plodded toward. Awkward Youth Jsorn with no great knack or talent, even for the game that filled his every boyhood thought, as it has that of so many other American boys, he was not teethed on any silver loving cup for potential baseball greatness. Nobody ever saw a mora awkward "Dutchman" trying to play first base than Bobby Watt and your correspondent used to watch out the window of Livingston hall in those spring twilights almost 20 years ago. He used to look as though he was playing the bag by compass, old abandoned Indian trails and radio instructions in which there was too much static. Every time he found the base without leading himself to it by hand, you could almost see him grin with satisfaction.

That was, indeed, an achievement. And even after ha became a Tankee regular and the fledgling murderer of "murderers' row," poor Charlie O'Leary, the coach, used to have to show up at the ball park at 10 o'clock in the morning to take him to fielding school. For Lou could start playing ball at milking time and still be going strong when the cows came home again at night. Not only could. Did.

And loved It. Sh ares Load Gifted with no flare whatever for the spectacular, except as it might be produced by the solid crash of bat against ball at some tense moment, lost In the honey days of a ball player's career in the white glare of the groat spotlight that followed Babe Ruth, he nevertheless more than packed his share of the load. And as I rode past the smooth, green fields, blossoming trees, tidy homes and pleasant lanes of Pennsylvania at twilight last evening, I thought to myself: "Here lies a great and lovely country that needs fear no dictators, no encroachments, no problems of the future so long as we go on producing stalwart Americans." Which, In his modest, not tremendously important way, my pal, Lou Gehrig, whose father came from Germany, unquestionably is. A fine sort of young man to know, fast or slow.

Bobby Feller's old fault, wildncss, caught up with him again today and gave the New York Yankees" a 10 to 6 10-inning victory over the Cleveland Indians although the champions were outhit 11-14 for the second straight day. The Yankees drew an even dozen passes to first and 10 of them came from Feller, who had won three games and lost none prior to today's catastrophe. Four walks, and one single and an error supplied New York its four winning runs in the extra chapter. Except for the second and third innings when ho struck out five mun, Feller was obviously off form afid in addition to the bases on bulls he gave up 10 hits before being relieved with none out in tho tenth. George Selkirk hit his third home run of the season behind singles by Tom Henrlch and Charley Keller in tho fourth.

Feller did his best to help his own cause at the plate, with a double, a single and two walks giving him a perfect day.

Amor Brujo Snaps Out of Slump, Pays Bettors $25 (By United Press) SAN MATEO, May 4.

Amor Brujo, one-time costly stake horse snapped out of a long losing streak today to defeat a field of $2,750 claimers at Bay Meadows. The South American Importation, once a winter book favorite for the 1938 Santa Anita handicap but long absent from the winner circle, nosed out Bunny Martin and Southern Belle to pay the fat mutuel price of $25, $10 and $5.20. A head heat occurred in the first race when Norsweep and Ballad came to the wire together. It made two successive dead heats, since the last race yesterday was a standoff between Our Goaler and English Harry. Sloppy Track Almost Certain; Johnstown Odds Rise as Result Chances of Challedon, Technician Soar as Weatherman Makes Prediction By HENRY McLEMORE (Uniteil Press Correspondent) LOUISVILLE, May 4.

The weatherman came out against mighty Johnstown today. In a brief bulletin he predicted rain for tomorrow and Saturday, and a heavy if not muddy track for the sixty-fifth running of the Kentucky Derby. Dust bowl farmers never greeted Adams to Ride Technician In Classic (Rv United Press) LOUISVILLE, May 4. H. M.

Woolf, whose Lawrin won the 1938 Kentucky Derby, today announced he had engaged Jockey Johnny Adams to ride Technician in this year's renewal of the stake. Adams led the jockey list in 1937. Woolf had been negotiating for the services of Eddie Arcaro, but Arcaro will fulfill an engagement for his contract employer, Mrs. Payne Whitney, in New York Saturday, and was not available. Woolf was reported dissatisfied with the ride given his Kentucky Derby eligible in the Derby Trial stakes Tuesday by Jockey Ira Hanford.

STARS DEFEAT SEATTLE AGAIN (Bv Affwiatpd Press) HOLLYWOOD, May 4. The Hol lywood Stars made it two straight from Seattle tonight by tagging Kewpie Barrett for 12 hits and an 8 to 3 victory. John Bittner, recently purchased by Hollywood from Kansas City, took over the pitching duties in the first inning after Seattle had blast- a lorecast or rain with more enthusiasm than did the owners and backers of Challedon and Technician, the only two horses given more than an outside chance of beating the beauty from Belair. These two colts are mud-running fools who revel in the goo, while Johnstown with the long loose stride feels insecure on a soft track and needs lightning fast loam to unleash his full power and speed. SLOPPY TRACK With a sloppy track promised, the odds on Johnstown eased up.

Held as short as 4 to 5 after his smashing mile workout of yesterday, ho went to even money when the weather man had had his say. He is not likely to be any longer at post time, even if a monsoon should blow up, because no one knows exactly how much mud bothers him. They know it pegs him back a bit, but he never has had a real test in the slop and it might not bother him enough to beat him. That he can lose a lot of his speed and still beat most of the field was proved today when T. M.

Dorsett, Joe W. Brown's hope, worked a mile before a big crowd at the Downs. Completely recovered from the shipping fever that bothered him yesterday, Dorsett could do no better than 1:39 2-5, which was four-fifths of a second slower than Johnstown's work. And Dorsett hugged the rail the whole way, while Johnstown ran in the middle of the track. TIRES IN STRETCH Dorsett ran a factor quarter, half and three-quarters than Johnstown, but tired in the run for the wire and was a weary looking horse at the finish.

He will be a starter, however, cd out Bill Fleming with a three- and his name will go in the box In run assault. He limited! the visitors the racing secretary's office when to three hits the rest of the way i the field is named tomorrow. En- a.m. 10:30 a.m. That is the deadline for getting colts in the Bluegrass clas sic, but they may be scratched up until 45 minutes before post time, If they haven't been declared by that time they are considered start ers and subject to the starting fee of $500.

This observer's guess is that a field of ten will go when the bugle blows to call the runners out for the try at the $50,000. Johnstown is a cinch, of course. So are Challedon, Technician, El Chico, Heather Broom, T. M. Dorsett Xalapa Clown and Viscounty.

That makes eight certainties. Then there is Johnstown's stablcmate and pal. Challenge, who is likely to bo in there if for nothing but to keep the star company on the parade to the post. MRS. MARS' ENTRY The report is that Mrs.

Ethel V. Mars will send out On Location regardless of his chances, and that Junius W. Bell will do the same with Steel Heels, despite the fact that this candidate ran as if he had heels of something heavier than steel in the recent Derby Trial That leaves Yale o' Nine, Losta- gal and Our Mat as extreme doubt-fuls. If the promise of rain should fail to materialize and the track is fast on Saturday, there is a fair chance that the winner will come close to equaling the Derby record of 2:01 4-5, established by Twenty Grand in 1931. The field is so geared that fast time is almost as sured.

It is divided between horses quick to find their speed and horses slow to reach top stride, a situation that produces a fast first three- quarters and a fast last half-mile. SWING HAMMOCKS Judging by the crowded condition of Louisville's streets and hotels (they are even swinging hammocks in many of the hotel rooms to crowd in extra visitors) Colonel Matt Winn's prediction that this year's Derby will be watched by tho biggest throng in the history of the race is coming true. Only the brave and strong can make progress about the city now, and by tomorrow night, when the big push (Continued oh Page Twenty-Three) 1 White Sox End Senators' Long Victory Streak (Bv Associated Press) CHICAGO, May 4.
