MANAGER PROTHRO IS EARLY HERO IN MAJOR BALL LEAGUES TURF History of the Running Horse in This Country Told in Sketches by Art Krenz No. 2 Origin of American Thorobred Fox Club and Dhoti Liked it. -ft A- f- tifi COPR. 1939 BY NEA SERVICE.

The American horse family of all sizes and shapes was founded by animals that escaped as Francisco Vasquez Coronado drove them northward from Mexico in 1540 and by huge French Normans which escaped from Canada. A conclave called by Col. Richard Nicolls, first English governor of New York, begon the movement for the improvement of the breed and mapped America's first track-Newmarket Course on Long Island. 2.

SKETCHES. League Players Quaker Pilot Has Club Up Near N.LTop BY GEORGE KIRKSEY NEW YORK, April 25 (UP) There may never be another chance to wave the flag for Thompson IDoc) Prothro, the Memphis dentist whose courage exceeded his good judgment when he signed a two-year contract to manage the futile Phillies, so lets give him a rousing cheer today. For one week, anyway, he get the palm for the outstanding managerial feat in the majors. He has the Phillies in fourth place today, and, mister, that is a miracle even if they only get a cup of coffee and a doughnut before they tumble back into second division. It's more than idle baseball talk to say that anybody can win with good ball players, but it takes real genius to win without them.

Up to now Prothro is a baseball wizard, because its the unanimous press box opinion that the Phils have the worA collection of misfits, has-beens and never-will-bes in the majors. Yet Prothro, in his whimsical way, has them fighting as if they were entertaining ideas of going some place instead of winding up in the cellar as they are certain to if anything in baseball is certain. The Phils have played six games, won three, tied one and lost two, and theyve been in every ball game. How, no-Itody knows, as they havent had a pitcher go the route. Prothro has paraded 16 pitchers, four times calling on three hurlers to get the Phils over the jump.

Hershel Martins double which drove in two runs was the win ning hit for the Phils yesterday, and Boom Boom Beck, veteran southpaw, stopped the Giants rally in the eighth and shut them out in the ninth. Cl BS TAKE LEAD The Chicago Cubs grabbed the undisputed National league lead by dumping the Pirates, 6-2.

If I had ever sat on the bench when I thought I could have done the club any good, I believe Id have batted my head against the dugout wall. Lou stopped talking and looked straight ahead, as if reviewing all the games he had played without a miss since that afternoon in June, 1925, when he broke in as a regular.

I know what youre thinking, he said after a while. That if I had nursed myself along I wouldnt be worrying so much today.

BY HENRY McLEMORE NEW YORK, April 25 (UP) I found him in the shadows of the dressing room, tucked away on a bench in the corner, pulling on a cigaret and a tall glass of beer.

In a room full of men he was all alone. Stripped to his funny baseball underwear, he just sat there, unmindful of the laughing and the joking and the talking going on about him. Just sitting, just thinking, just worrying. The Yankees had just won a close ball game, but you never could have told it from looking at Lou Gehrig. His one hit in 17 times at bat, the walking of Joe DiMag-gio to get at him as an easy mark, the cruel stabs in the newspapers, the tough walk from the sunshine into the shadows all of these hurts showed on the face of the man who for so long had dominated the American league with his bat.

There could be no easy approach to the man, so I made it direct. "Lou, I said, if you had it all to do over again, would you punish yourself the way you did to get that consecutive games played record If you were just starting out, would you drive yourself to play even when your legs were bruised, your toes and fingers broken, and well, when you were sick? He didn't hurry his answer. Finally he said: Louisville, cloudy fast. Narragansett, clear; fast. San Francisco, clear, fast.

Noone's Daily Race Comment NEW MARKET, England, April 25 (UP) The Aga Khans Dhoti and Edward Esmonds Fox Cub, fourth and first choices in winter books on the English derby, were favored today among an expected field of 22 three-year-olds for the 130th running of the historic 2000 guineas stakes at New Market tomorrow. Only one American-owned runner remained in the race, William Woodwards hypnotist. The second Woodward contender, Fox-brough II, original derby future choice, and Mrs. James CorriganS Signal Light were declared. Train ers said the Fox needed more work, but no reason was advanced for Signal Lights defection.

The New Market race, regarded an advance test of derby candidates, is run over a mile course under weights of 126 pounds. It is the first of five rich stakes to be held at this track some 90 miles from London. Altho Dhoti is but fourth choice for the derby, which is run at a mile and a half, he is considered sharp and ready for the mile test tomorrow.

It will be the opening date for all teams in the United States proper; the closing date for Puerto Rican season which has been played for the past five months.

Semi-pro President, Ray DuMont sharper, everything would be better. But youre wrong. Wrong about me, anyhow. I never could help giving all I had. I never could see playing in 153 games if you could play in 154.

Col. Ruppert knew how I felt. Ill never forget him telling me that no man who ever worked for him had leveled any more than I had. Lou pulled on his cigaret, and changed his tone. Listen, suppose this is my last year.

What of it? In my 15 seasons 1 have, played as much baseball as the fellows who spread it out, took it easy and last 17 and 18 and 19 years. When I started baseball I figured that a players big-league life was eight or nine years. I decided to get in ail I could, get all the money I could while I was able. No matter how much a man loves baseball, he must remember that it is his business, his career, and that from it he must earn enough to get a nest egg, enough to take care of a wife and family. Thats what I did.

Drove myself as hard as I could. Concentrated everything I had. I asked him if he thought this was his last year in baseball. Lou answered, I don't. Im pretty bad right now, but I was worse this time last year.

Remember, I didnt get a hit in the first 21 times I was at bat last season. "Are you worried now, and 1 Mr. Hyland, Star Pupil, Jim Blazes 2 Sir Michael, Primer, Gay World. 3 Bright Sox, Blue Grotto, Mixed Weather. 4 Hueu, Grace Grier, Cosmic Prince.
