Cleveland may win it. the Yanks can do it and we can do it," Dykes said.

"Give us the right kind of pitching and tj won't take a back sett to anybody." Chief reason; for Dykes' optimism are: 1 Luke Appling, quiet southern family man who won the American League batting championship aat fall with an average of .388. 3 Monty Stratton, 6 foot, 6 Inch pitchlrg find, who scored the league' first shutout Thursday by whippmf the St. Loui Browns, 12 to 0. 3 Dixie Walker, swift toe-tad right fielder, who hit .409 in spring exhibitions and maintained a .400 av erage in the first six games of season. The Sox haven't been to tough since the Black Sox scandal of 1011.

With a shakier team than this, they finished in third place, close behind Detroit, last season. Wi.h Walkeq hitting and fielding better than he ever did In hi life, Dykes has five dependable slugger Zeie Bonura. Appling, Ray RadcUff, Jackie Hayes and Walker. In addition, Larry Rosenthal, rookie outfielder, and Luke Sewell, the catcher, are timely hitters. Defensively, the Sox appeared flaw-Kss during the first week.

The only hole opened at third base. As soon as Dykes brought Lou Berger from Cleveland and benched Tony Piet, tha weakness disappeared, although batting power was dscreaaed.

New York, May 1 Two weeks ago. amidst the hysteria and hoopla which followed Pompoon's brilliant win in the Paumanok Handicap, I asked permission to curb my enthusiasm for Jerry Louchelm's colt until after the Wood Memorial stake. As I explained at the time, with my customary lucidity, I wanted to see if the big boy child of Pompey a strict sprinter who twgan to get stitches in his side (or the equine equivalent of stitches in the side) once that mile past was passed could pick up a lot of weight and go a distance.

Six furlongs didn't suit me. The Wood is for one mile and 70 yards, which is getting up around the derby distance of a mile and a quarter. They run the Wood today, and so when the sun goes down we'll have a pretty fair line on the handsome Pompoon. If he wins it. and is asking for more when he whips past the judges, we'll know that Ills derby price of 3 to 1 is sensible, and thai ha will be the one to bet on when the field walks out to the poet next Saturday.

Of course, v.e won't know for sure. Because Pompey, Pompoon old man, won the Wood in record time and reached Louisville a hot favorite to win the Bluegrass Stake in a breeze. But Pompey who had been able to tear off a mile and 70 yards in record time found that extra pull at Churchill Downs a little too much. And the bei': he could do down in the country where the mint juleps flow the day long, was fourth. Danny Clarke, who trains Pompoon.

does not share my doubts about the coh. Clarke, never a man to go overboard on a horse without reason, is completely sold on hi star boarder. Without blinking an eye he announced yesterday that Pompoon would not only wm the Wood, but would do it in the best time in the history of the stake. And, furthermore, that the colt would be shipped to Louisville to "romp home with the Derby." That's optimism. There is many a slip between Jamaica and the blanket of American Beauty roses that Colonel Matt Winn so graciously provides each derby winner.

There have been many Wood winners, but only two Gallant Fox in 1930 and Twenty Grand in 1931 that went on to take it all down at the rambling old Downs. Pompoon will be one of 12 to go to the post in the Wood, and I believe his sternest competition will come from Rudie, with J. Stout up, and Sir Damion with Nick Wall in the saddle. Rudie isn't entered in the Derby, Sir Damion is. Rudie can run.

I have seen him take it all twice this meeting at Jamaica, and he asks no questions. If it's a sprint lie sprints. If it's a long haul he long hauls. He likes mud just as well as he does lightning. I think he'll win the Wood.

And just to sure of a seat way out there on the end of the limb I'll name Sir Damion to take the place, with Pompoon doing no better than grabbing the show. You may ca'l me crazy, but you never will able to say I can't take it.

EUnina and Binghamton on top today with their second consecutive victories. Wilkes-Barre's Barons marred Scrantan's League inaugural at home with a decisive 73 victory.

While Tommy Re is, young right-hand mound artist, held the 1936 champions to six hits, hi mates shelled Doll, Erick-san and Shoffner for 11 effective blows. Reis ieued 11 walks and hit a batter, but nevertheless was effective In the pinches. Bespectacled Jack Kimball's excellent relief pitching gave Elmira He second straight win over Williamsport, 10-6. Kimbaa was Injected after Bob Duffy was hammered for four runs in the first inning. Jack held the Gray to seven scattered blows and won his own ball game with a timely single in the seventh.

With the score tied at 6-6. Zschau purposely walked Van Grofski to fill the bases and get to Kimball, who fooled 'em by driving to two runs. His mates got to Browning, Zschau and Roche for 11 hits. John Lindell pitched the season's first shutout as Binghamton took across Albany, 4-0, in the Triplets' home opening before 2500 fens. Three hits and two walks gave Binghamton all it runs in the lucky seventh.

Lindell spaced ten hits to blank the Senators and in addition doubled to drive in three runs. Trenton took its first triumph of the season by edging out Hazleton, 7-6. The Red Sox Mountaineers took the season's opener. Trenton had a 7-0 lead going into the seventh inning and looked like a sure winner when Pitcher Juan Montero lost his touch. A combination of hits, one a triple, by Lloyd Javet, and bad fielding gave Hasleton a half-dozen runs, one short of tying the contest.

Trenton reached Brazel, Coleman and Karle for 11 hits and Hasleton collected eight Montero and Shaney. HE, TO DRIVE USUI RAGE Langhorne, May 1. With cour-ege unshaken by his near fatal crash at Reading a week ago. Prank Beeder, St. Louis daredevil driver, will return to the speed wars at Langhorne Speedway Sunday, May 18, and will drive the same rapid car, AAA contest board officials anonunsed today.

Beeder, with only two years of experience professional auto racing eircles, drove in the Reading competition as a member of the John Bagley racing team and was riding in second position hot on the trail of Tony Willman when he lost control and crashed through the fence, turn-tog over twice. He escaped with body bruises and a sprained left shoulder. It was the third time in as many starts at Reading this Bagley car has wrecked. Twice previous the late Doc Mackeneie set it upside down In competition there and later met his death in it at Milwaukee. The machine, which is lightning fast.

Is considered one of the best used In dirt track races and is said to be unusually easy to handle through the treacherous turns. Beeder, though far less experienced than the redoubtable Mackenzie, has turned in several remarkable performances with the esr and owner Bagley believes he will take around the mile Langhorne circle in faster time than it made last season when Mackensie booted it to victory.
