The theory behind a number of recent outstanding deals in "ivory," particularly the brand that performs on the pitching mound, has been to add strength to the clubs concerned, but so far very little im-v, provement has been in evidence.

.000 NATIONAL LEAGUE and none out Buster Morgan, the Hoppers' Princeton third sacker, hit a scorcher towards second base. Mason grabbed the ball on its first hop, feinted a throw home to hold the Hopkinsville runner on third and then tossed to "Sonny" Fields at second base for a force-out. The best baseball prospects on the first day appeared to be Aubrey Mitchell, Paducah pitcher: George Cooper, Paducah third baseman; James "Red" Johnson, Hoptown shortstop who reached base four times; and Tucker Joiner, iiopkinsvme starting pitcher. Manager Suther was the recipi ent of some- undeserved criticism for removing Joiner the box at the end of the fifth inning after ne had allowed only 2 hits and no runs. Joiner, who bad practiced little this spring because ot the inclement weather, complained -of a sore arm in the fourth inning and it continued to bother him the following atama.

Realising that he has 91 more games to go, Suther decided that he needed his box ace for the future and refused to risk him, which was the wise thing to do. Henry Cochran and Herbie Tade, two of Tilghman's football greats from the wonder team of 1932, are home from college. Henry will play his first year of varsity football next fall at Alabama, and reports from Tuscaloosa are that he is a sure shot for the first string fullback post. Cochran went great in spring training, car rying the ball in his old-time form. Tade has been in the hospital In Knoxvllle for several weeks tol lowing an operation upon each foot and is still limping.

However, when the wounds have completely healed, Tade speed will be Unproved con siderably. He Is slated for the first string center job at the Uni versity of Tennessee next year.

The Red Birds won because Tucker Joiner, Hopkinsville mound ace, left the game with a sore arm after muffling Paducah with 1 hits and no runs for five innings. Hir successors, Bill Fleming and Al "Pony" Farrington, received poor support and did not help the Hopper cause much themselves. Aubrey -vlitchell, on the hill for Paducah, made an impressive Class debut by holding the Hoppers to 1 hits and 2 earned runs. Hopkinsville held a lead until the sixth inning. In the second stanza Newton nade first on "Sonny" Fields' fumble and was forced at second by Jimmy Glasscock.

After another infield out Glasscock scored on Doc Turner's triple into right center. In the first of the third a double by Jimmy Johnson and a sharp single over second base by Rad Bailee gave the Hoppers another run. In the last of the sixth after one was out George Cooper and Pete Zimmerman walked. Jenk Mason hit a scorching single into left field to score Cooper with Paducah's first run. In the seventh t'aducah came through with two runs to take a 3-2 lead.

Floyd Perryman, who had walked and advanced on an error by Glasscock and an infield out scored as Connie Lee was called safe on a close play. Cooper's long single and an error by Catcher Wagner on a play at the plate enabled Lee to score. Paducah added three runs in the eighth on a single by Jenk Mason, two fielder's choices, a sacrifice hit by Gene Ruoff and an error by Buster Morgan. In the first of the ninth Socky Clawson and Plaski, a pinch-hitter, greeted Mitchell with booming singles, Clawson going to third and Plaski later stealing second. Turner lifted to Zimmerman in short right.

Jenk Mason threw out Farrington, Clawson scoring on that play and Plaski following him home after Ruoff threw wildly to third. Mitchell fanned Morgan for the last out. Cooper performed excellently at second base for Paducah and "Red" Johnson proved most proficient as a leadoff man for the Hoppers. AMERICAN LEAGUE Team Won Lost Pet.

Smith (formerly of CaWert City) Manager -By Sam Our contemporary, the Louisville Courier-Journal, probably hasn't heard that the football team of the University of Minnesota won every game it played last year and was awarded a trophy for being the national champion. Not only that, the Courier evidently has not heard that there IS a University of Minnesota. The following appeared In the Louisville paper this morning: "The of Minneap-alcs and Notre Dane today signed for a two-game, home and home-fool ball series In 1937 and 1938, Frank G. McCormick, Gopher athletic director an- nraunced." The University of Minnesota Is a Big Ten Institution located in the confines of M-l-n-n-e-a-p-o-l-i-s. John Henry Suther, the soft-spoken Alabama nRose Bowl gridder of 1931, present coach at Hopkinsville high school and manager of the Hopkinsville Kitty League baseball team, was not satisfied with rotund Ralph Bishop's base-umpiring Wednesday.

Suther feels that a play at first base in the last of the. seventh cost the Hoppers the game. With two ben out and Floyd Perryman on third base, Connie Lee, Paducah centerfielder. bounced one down the first base line which First' baseman Glasscock fielded. He threw to Pitcher Al Farrington who caught the ball and crossed the bag before the runner, ever reached base.

Bishop called Lee safe on the grounds that Farrington missed the bag. That was possible because the Hoptown pitcher DID step out wildly. Before the inning was over Paducah scored 2 runs, the Hoppers blew up and the Red Birds won easily. If Hopkinsville thinks Ralph's mistake, if it was a wm intentional, the Hoppers are wrong, because Bishop is a well-meaning young man at the worst. The crowd for Paducah's first Kitty League game In 13 years was highly satisfactory.

There were approximately 400 paid admissions. School children were admitted free and there were the customary amount of passes, swelling the total to about 800. The fans seemed to enjoy Organized Baseball thoroughly. Of course, during the entire game each umpire was always Jesse James with out a horse in John Fan's mind, but everybody seemed to have a good time. Both ball clubs seemed a little nervous.

But that was natural when it is considered that none of the players on either team had ever played Class baseball before. Tbere were several weak spots on each team, but both Manager Suther of Hopkinsville and Manager "Skin" Griffin will work until they eliminate these weaknesses. Jenk Mason, the Paducah second sacker from Graves county, made the best play of the opening day.

BOS Presenting A COMPLETE FITTING SERVICE for YOUNGER MEN FLORSHEIM White or Sport Oxfords $3.75 Atta and Phil Collins a lot of trouble. Blaeholder managed to scatter eleven Detroit hits in his first start for Philadelphia, but the Athletics didn't get him the runs and he went down 4 to 1. His first pitch was turned Into a homer by Pete Fox and the Tigers scored again in the fourth and twice in the sixth while Elden Auker pitched a steady game. Earhshaw, In hot water from the start because of his own wildness, finally was driven out by a three- run Cincinnati burst in the fifth and the Dodgers went down 5 to 4 although they hammered Si Johnson and Don Brennan for four counters in the seventh. Van Atta, sold by the Yanks to the Browns, and Fischer, sold by Detroit to the White Sox, both were beaten in their first starts with their new clubs while Collins won for the Cardinals although he failed to finish against his old club, the Phillies.

Of the others who have been traded since April only Walter Stewart, now with Cleveland, has turned in an outstanding performance, an eleven-inning shutout of the Yankees Sunday. As a result of Earnshaw's defeat yesterday, the Giants increased their National League lead to Vk games with a 5 to 2 victory over the Pirates and their mound sensation, by Blanton. Roy Parmelee got the better of Blanton on the hill, giving only five hits. The other National League game saw the Phillies drop Into a last-place tie with the Braves as they came out on the short end of a 3-2 score against the Cardinals with ancient Jesse Hames doing the elbowing. Boston was rained out at ChWago.

The Yankees registered the day's big gain in a series of American League slugging matches. They put together two four-run innings against young Joe Vance and trounced the League-leading White Sox 13 to 5 to move Into second place. The victory put them a half game ahead of Cleveland, whose pitchers failed to hold a five-run lead against the Red Sox and took a 12 to 5 trimming. The Sox scored six runs in the fifth and another six in the eighth with Manager Joe Cronin leading at the plate. The Senators kept pace with Detroit's fifth-place club, just a half game behind, by turning back the cellar-dwelling Browns 5 to 2.
