Glen Oaks, on the membership and is in a position to 'guarantee the Prudence Company, owners of the Lakeville property, a profit.

Mill River Stables swif $75 000 Kentucky Derby Our Mr. George Coleman, Clair Bee who picked Toledo to rout Manhattan, thinks it will be Toledo against the winner of the Fordham-Western Kentucky game in the invitation tourney final.

This is to give St. John's a slight brushoff, for George does not think the Redmen can get by either the Ram or the Diddle clan from Kentucky. The Swami in this corner of the page cannot go for the Coleman logic, however, and I have bet Mr. C. a few quid that St.

John's will land on its feet in the final. St. John's can beat Fordham just as it did earlier this year. Watching St. John's try to stop those two Toledo Negroes (Davage Minor leaps around the court like Tarzan, is one of the most devastating players to show in the Garden, even with only one hand, and Charley Harmon is also great) will be something else again, however.

The whole Rocket cast uses the ball like the dried pea in a shell game. But Toledo has not had to stop anything like St. John's Harry Boykoff, either. There's a lot of great basketball ahead. AN "ANGLE" IN TONIGHT'S FIGHT Mr.

Samuel Angott, you will recall, is the fighter with the delicate dukes. Mr. Angott retired from the biff business some months ago almost in tears. He chucked his lightweight crown. His hands hurt him, he said.

There was a lot of name-calling in the newspaper business because of this strange maneuver. Detective -scribe Mr. Dick McCann stated that Angott might have washed his hands of the title, but there was some dirty laundry in the oundle because it was a mob from Jersey, and not aching mitts, which caused Mr. Angott to quit. The mob wanted its man, Mr.

Tippy Larkin, in as champ. Well, Mr. Beau Jack does not read so well he did not get the message straight on Larkin. He beat Tippy, and when Tippy's title chances went out, Angott came back in, and Mr. McCann called a lot of reporters who had sighed on Sammy's bandages well, he called them gullible, which is not a nice word in a newspaper office, where you are supposed to know all the answers.

Now tha angle on Angott may be this: he does not want to fight Beau Jack, but the Beau, a 4F because of illiteracy the first time his draft board quizzed him, has learned to read and write a bit, and is khaki-bound in May. Perhaps Angott can have the title back by fighting the same old mob, the fellows he beat before. No? "I'LL TAKE MY GUYS," SAYS LEO You have read here and there that Leo the Lip is mighty high on his Dodger pitching staff, with Rube Melton taking Larry French's 15-win spot. "I will take our staff over the Cardinals this year because of the three-trip schedule, the longer series," Leo told me yesterday at Bear Mountain. How did he figure that? "Last year every time we faced the Cardinals in those short series, about all we saw was Cooper, Lanier and Beaz-ley," Leo said.

"Once we met 'em in a four-game set last year, and what happened? They had to come back with Lanier the second time, and we belted him! Well, this year they have no Beazley. It will be Cooper, Lanier and beyond those two that Card staff looks easy to us. Pollett and White don't bother us. Meanwhile, in a four-game series I can give 'em Wyatt, Melton, Davis and Macon and get a good game from each. Don't even figure Higbe against the Cards.

Macon made a mistake now and then, but he pitched great against the Cards last year. Yes, I'll take our staff right now over any in the league!" to Join Flock 1 BALKS AT BENCH Johnny Lindell, six-foot-four Yankee pitcher, doesn't want to spend most of his time warming the bench in dugout or bullpen, so he's working out as first baseman at Asbury Park.
