Cardinals Move Back As Leader With Twin Bill Hand Pirates a Double Jolt; Giants Slip By ALAN GOULD. Associated Press Sport Editor NEW YORK To a greater extent than ever before, the United States this year will depend upon new talent Olympic freshmen in bidding for track and field team honors at Berlin.

Of the 120 or more athletes who have qualified thus far for the final American tryouts, to be held July 11-12 at Randall's island, only 17 have had Olympic experience. Most of the veterans, as a matter of fact, will have a tough time making the team in competition with younger rivals. The only 1932 Olympic champion who qualified, John Anderson in the discus, has an outside chance to finish among the top three in the tryouts, on the basis of comparative performances to date. Wykoff Survives. Frank Wykoff, Southern California sprinter and holder of the world 100-yard record, is the only survivor of both the 1928 and 1932 teams with a chance to make the team.

The boy wonder of 1928 has only a remote prospect of landing among the first three in the 100 meters but he might qualify for the 400 meter relay team, which he anchored in 1932. The four best bets among the veterans are Ralph Metcalfe in the sprints, Ben Eastman in the 800, Glenn Hardin in the 400 meters hurdles and Corny Johnson, the great Negro high jumper. Metcalfe Faces Owens. Metcalfe couldn't beat Eddie Tolan in either Olympic sprint final in 1932, and he is up against another brilliant Negro rivai this time in Jesse Owens, the triple threat from Ohio State. Owens, on present form at sprinting and broad jumping, has a chance to become the first Olympic triple winner since Paavo Nurmi turned the trick in 1924 at Paris.

meet the Staley's and the Spanish Inn teams. The great club on- tour of the Middle West, allotted Decatur two dates so that both the Starchworkers and the Inn team could have the opportunity to face it. To win the World's A softball team that outlasted 33 state and metropolitan champions to annex the highest honors in the game will be on parade at Fans Field tonight and tomorrow night at 8 p. m. when the Crimson Coaches of Toledo, Don Budge Defeated By Perry Umpire Ormsby Eastman, runnerup to Bill Carr in the 400 at Los Angeles, will be America's favorite in this year's 800.

Hardin, runnerup to Ireland's Bill Tisdall in the low hurdles fou years ago and holder of all records for the event, appears close to his peak. Johnson who lost out in a four-cornered jumpoff for the last Olympic title, is a much improved performer. His closest competition is expected from his American teammates, assuming he has no difficulty in the final tryouts. Cunningham Veteran. Track followers rate the triumvirate of American mile aces as vet ftflil'if YHimM) MILLAPD Wouldn't it be great if someone could find out just why the St.

Louis Browns, owners of Sports man's park in St. Louis will not permit the Cardinals to equip the park for night baseball? Evident ly there must be an iron clad agreement between American league bosses that they will not go in for the night sport until the league as a whole passes on it. Naturally the Browns officials wouldn't want the Cards staging games if they couldn't. It is hard to understand any other position for the Cincinnati Reds, with their 33,000 or more cash customers drew one third as many for one game as the Browns did last year at home for the entire campaign. With Charlie Dressen having the Reds higher up in the percentage column than they have been for years and a great turnout last Monday night it was just the tonic Paul F.

Crosley needed to decide to go through with his deal to take over the majority stock of the ball club. Two years ago when a Cincinnati bank interested Crosley to the extent of accepting the presi dency of the club he was given a two year option to purchase the majority stock and he has an nounced that the option will be ex ercised. France Laux. KMOX broadcaster has again been chosen to give the fans a play by play description of the All Star game in Boston on July 7 over the Columbia network. France who has a number of Decatur will have Arch McDonald, Washington, and Dolly Stark, Philadelphia, former umpire as his co-workers.

Freddy Lindstrom a i ly wanted to rest this summer for the Giants. Cubs and Dodgers player turned down an offer of $7,500 to broadcast the remainder of the season. Although the first half of the Western league season hasn't ended as yet one third of the pi lots who started will not be in charge for the second half. The first to go was Ralph McMichaels, the Waterloo manager whose club has been on the bottom of the heap most all the time in the first season returning to organized ball. The latest is Marty Berghammer who has been at Sioux City where the Cowboys are playing 500 per cent baseball to date.

Joe Masters is being used as both a pitcher and an outfielder by Bud Knox up at Mitchell. S. and the local boy is hitting the ball at a .324 pace. Joe hit a homer over the left center field fence in a recent game, a mere 360 feet from home plate. At Lincoln, the other night Masters was chased from the game by the umpire (first time he was ever given the gate) and while his team won by an 18 to 7 score he didn't receive credit for the victory as he never took the mound, getting the axe in the first half of the first.

Joe's brother-in-law. Herb Wil son, has been sent to Portageville, in the Kitty league by Jimmy Hamilton of the Nashville team. After losing eight games in a row in the State league the Mor ton baseball club decided to put George "Lefty" Berger the old I. I. I.

league pitcher and umpire in charge. George has had a lot of baseball experience and was good enough in his heydey to hurl in the Pacific Coast league, when it was a real circuit. The Pekin team is leading the state league and the other night journeyed up to Peoria to spank the Peoria All Stars by a 11 to 9 defeat. Here is the way the clubs stand in Pops Boyer's circuit: Pekin 6 2 .750 Canton 5 3 .625 Bloomington 5 3 .625 Lincoln 4 4 .500 Springfield 4 4 .500 Morton 0 8 .000 Keystone Park in Peoria was the scene of one for the book the other night when it was necessary for an umpire to call the game in the seventh inning when the Peoria Colored Monarchs couldn't retire the side. The Keystone boys had piled up a 19 to 2 score when the umpire said "That's enough." George Martin, Decatur's No.

1 citizen when it comes to having a speaking acquaintance with major and minor league ball players is leaving for Ohio where he will meet old friends in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dayton, Columbus and probably Canton if Pat Patterson is home with his club in the Middle Atlantic league. Martin's cafe was the hangout for every unmarried ball player in the old days and many of the visiting clubs ate with him in a body. If a player of any importance ever got out of Decatur without giving George an autographed ball it was because the local fan was sick in bed. Guy H. Woods, Jacksonville amateur boxing promoter is putting on his second "Roof Garden" show tomorrow night in Taylorville with Peoria meeting Taylorville.

Five two minute rounds will be offered in the team event with three or four other bouts staged as preliminaries. Here is the team card as given out by Woods: Peoria Taylorville Jim Sheppard Vs. John Prewitt Walt Warnick Vs. M. McMahon Duffy Giberson Vs.

The redhead is the proud father of 11 children, the oldest 13, and is expecting the blessed event again very shortly. He's been married 15 years. With 11 offspring roaming around the Ormsby home in suburban Evergreen Park, Mrs. Ormsby, a cheerful smiling mother has to call the roll at meal time to make sure that nobody is missing, because Em mett has been home only five days since March 7. "I have been so busy with the children," she beamed today, "that I wish every night that 'Red' was around to help me with the um piring'." Real Fans.

"The three oldest girls like baseball, but the real fans are Emmett and Byron. They talk and play the game almost continuously and get plenty of advice from their dad." The children, she said, keep her home most of the. time, but a few days ago she did go to Detroit where her husband was officiating at a game, and took three of her flock with her.

FULLERTON, Jr. Associated Press Sports Writer That rough and ready gang of Cardinals from the other side of the tracks that plays the game of baseball for all it worth is proving a tough team to keep down de spite the recent feats of Charley Grimm's Chicago Cubs. As for the Yankees, who have adopted some of the "gas house" tactics of bludgeoning the opposition without mercy, there doesn't seem to be any way at all to hinder them. After being shoved down into second place for one day and then sharing the lead with the Cubs for another the first time in over a month the top of the National league had not been exclusively theirs the Cards fought their way back into first place yesterday with a double victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, one of their major rivals. Pepper Martin Leads Victory Both games were tough ones but under the leadership of John Leonard (Pepper) Martin, leading exhibitor of "gas house" vigor, and the venerable Jesse "Pop" Haines, the Cardinals won 2 to 1 and 4 to 3.

The Yankees, meanwhile, buried their closest rivals, the Boston Red Sox, under a landslide of blows to win a doubleheader 10 to 5 and 6 to 3. and increased their lead to 94 games. A crowd of 54,046 at the Yankee stadium saw Lou Gehrig contribute his 19th and 20th home runs to the festivities to take second place in the major league race behind Jimmy Foxx, who has 22 homers. Giants Drop to Fifth A third major development yes terday was the Giants' drop out of the first division for the first time since 1932. A 7 to 6 setback at the hands of the Boston Bees put the Terrymen one point behind the Cincinnati Reds, who had an open date.

The Phillies-Dodgers, Tigers-White Sox and Indians-Browns games were rained ot. Mace Brown limited the Cards to three hits in the first game but Haines out-thought rather than outpitched him. "Pop" gave eight hits, but few good ones to swing at. Going into the seventh a run behind, Stu Martin singled and Pepper brought him home with a triple, then scored the winning run on Joe Medwick's fly. The Bucs got off ahead again in the second clash but St.

Louis got to Ralph Birkofer in the sixth and tied the score at 3-3. In the ninth a single and an error put Terry Moore on second and "Wild Horse" Martin brought him in with a single.

CHICAGO Mud-p a for beauty is common place treatment for the gals. But packing tired tootsies, particularly those of valuable race horses, in mysterious mud to give them relief is new.

The originator of the treatment is Woody Fitzgerald, trainer for the Norman W. Church stable of Los Angeles, who brought half a car load of the mud, dug from San Francisco bay, to Arlington park to treat the hoofs of his runners. The purpose of the mud application, Fitzgerald explained today, is to cool the hoofs, heal them should they become sore or overheated from the friction of a hard track. He said the mud possesses mineral and salt elements which give relief to aching hoofs. Staley's Halted By Auto Specialty Co.

Jimmy Dykes Goes In for Same Dish CHICAGO The "Italian sauce" now seasoning baseball so highly in the persons of Joe Di Maggio, Frank Crosetti and others is going on the diamond menu that head chef Jimmy Dykes is putting before his Chicago White Sox customers this summer.

Italo Chelini, a 21 years old south-paw the Sox have been keeping under cover since the latter part of 1935, appears ready to take his place with the stars of Italian parentage who have been putting plenty of spice in the 1936 baseball dish. In his debut last Saturday against Washington, Chelini let the Nats down with eight hits, pitched as cooly as an oldtimer and walked only one man and then when trying "for the corners" against slugging Joe Kuhel. Chelini, a quiet, ambitious youngster, came to the Sox from Keokuk, in the Western league. Pitching with a tailend club, the Italian youth won 15 games and lost 11. In 208 innings he walked but 48 batsmen and fanned 103.

Frank Wykoff Will Not Hit the Road GLENDALE, Calif. Glendale's favorite athlete, Frank Wykoff, won't have to hitch-hike to New York for the Olympic track and field trials.

U. money-raising campaign left many West Coast eli-gibles, among them Wykoff, with the alternative of hitch-hiking, or standing by while friends passed the hat.
