National League. ill "Impossible" Pulled On Pirates In Aftermath, Last -Placers Copping Second Win Of Year. Pied Lucas -Is Given Poor Support In The Opener And Cincinnati Finishes "Second," 6-3 Score Is 10-5 In Final 10,000 At Synthetic Double Bill. By Jack Ryder. Well, those surprising Reds reso- lutely refused to lose both games of thc double-header, at least Up to the ptesent time.

After tossing off the 1 first half of the bargain attraction, which drew an exceptionally large crowd to the yard yesterday after noon, the boys just took the bit in tl.eir teeth and cut loose with a hefty flock of bingles off four Pirate i pitchers, which enabled them to smash their long losing streak into flinders. '( Beaten in the opening half of the till by a count of 6 to 3, through one bad inning of Red Lucas and his backers, they came back in the after-, math to do their heaviest and most effective hitting of the season and overwhelm the fourth-placers by the ratio of 10 to 5. Incidentally that second game broke a number of records and other things. It cracked the losing streak which had extended over seven straight game3 and that was really the best thing about it. Then it was the first time this year that the team i has broken into double figures in the 1 run column and.

all but one of their runs were earned, too. It also was the first time that they i have made as many as tallies in a single round. Moreover, they com- mitted but one error and that was excusable and harmless. Just Big Day, That's All! All In all, it was just about the biggest day of the young season for i th tailenders and was highly ap-' predated by the many loyal rooters present In person. Manager Howley, rendered desperate by the long succession of defeats and the lowly position of the team, did quite a bit of switching about and finally found right comblna-' tion.

In the first game, he engineered an innovation by placing Estell Crabtree on first base and sending Joe Stripp back to his regular posi-' tion at the hot corner. This worked all right so far as these two performers were con-' cerned, for Crabtree played first as if he had never played anywhere else and Jersey Joe held up his ex-. cellent reputation at third. But some of the other boys failed to give Lucas the usual clean-cut so the game was frittered away, in one awful inning, and then the Red leader sent Stripp back to first and put Frank Sigafoos on third in the second contest. This line-up did ome really timely and extensive hitting, fo a change, hence the record-breahin events of the day.

The even break did not advance the Reds in the standing, as too New York, May 3 (AP) Two champions, who are following the old custom of titleholders in fighting occasionally to pick up a little lunch money without risking their crowns, hold the center of the nation's fistic spot light this week. Young Jack Thompson, San Francisco Negro, who recently regained the welterweight championship from Tommy Freeman, is due to engage Bucky Lawless, Syracuse (N. slugger in one ten-round match of a double wind-up at the Chicago Stadium Friday night. Thompson's title will not be at stake. In the other feature King Levinsky, Chicago's fish peddler heavyweight, tackles Emmo Rocco, of Ellwood City, Pa.

Maxie Rosenbloom, who is being pressed to defend his light heavyweight championship, continues his tour non-title bouts through the West at Portland, Thursday.

An ex-champion, Jack Kid Berg, of England, who lost his junior welterweight title to Tony Canzonerl a short time ago, brings boxing back to Madison Square Garden, New York, Friday after a long absence.

Wood Beat Rio Grande Players In Straight Sets. Mexico City, May 3(AP) The youthful United States Davis Cup doubles team of Frank X. Shields, of New York, and Sidney B. Wood, of the University of Arizona, carried the American team into the second round of the Davis Cup play today by defeating the, Mexican combination of Ricardo Tapia and Manuel Llano in the deciding match of the tie. The scores were 63, 6 3, 64.

The victory was the third straight for the United States. Previously Shields and Wilmer Allison, of Austin, Texas, had won the opening singles matches. By defeating Mexico the United States qualified to meet Canada in the North American zone final at Montreal May 21, 22 and 23. Two more singles matches are left, Shields meeting Alfonso Unda and Allison playing Ricardo Tapia TueS' day, but after today's victory they were reduced to the status of mere exhibitions, having no bearing on the unai result of the tie. In an exhibition match after the Davis Cup clash, Allison, with a Mexican partner, Acosta, defeated Arnedo and Carlos Tapia, brother of Ricardo, 6V-1, 119.

The young Americans, neither of whom had been members of the Davis Cup team before this year, formed an almost unbeatable doubles team. Shields, a tall young player with a terrific drive, bore the brunt of the work. Wood was a trifle erratic at the net, but Shields more than made up for his few fault3 with fine net play and hard drives from the back court. Ricardo who is only 20 years old, younger than either of his rivals, Showed evidences of coming tennis greatness in today's match. He still lacks experience, but did the hard work for the Mexican team, which displayed a better game than was expected of them, and promised to give the United States players a real run for their money in the Davis Cup preliminaries a few years from now.

Shields won eight straight games on his own service without giving one break. Wood won his service four times and lost it twice. The turning point of the match came in the middle of the second set. With the score 43 in favor of the United States, the Northerners broke through Llano, who previously had won all his service games, carrying the game to deuce three times and finally winning out after a fine duel at the net between Shields and Tapia. Shields won the nextVame and the set on his service.

In the third set, the Mexicans played hard, winning one more game than in either of the first two, but the spirit was gone from their game.

Eastern Bookmaker Is Of Belief That Barometer Is Best Of Western Horses.

New York, May 3 (UP) After witnessing the 1931 debut of the Greentree Stable's Twenty Grand at Jamaica today, when the son of St. Germans won the rich Wood Stakes, Commissioner Tom Shaw expressed the belief that this colt will go to the post favorite in the Kentucky Derby two weeks hence. For the present he holds Equipoise, from the C. V. Whitney stable, at the same odds a3 Twenty Grand, quoting them at 7 to 2.

In his opinion, Shaw said, not more than 18 will start in the Derby, and he expects the representatives of the East to walk away with all portions of the purse. The only Westerner to whom he concedes a chance is E. R. Bradley's Barometer, quoted at 25 tol. A.

C. Bost wick's Mate is third choice at 6 to 1. Surf Board and Anchors Aweigh, both stable mates of Twenty Grand, come next at 15 and 20, respectively. While he considars Twenty Grand the most likely winner of the Derby, Shaw has a warm spqt in his heart for Katherine E. Hitt's Sun Meadow, which he has pared down to 25 to 1, following the colt's recent victory at Plmlico.

Pittsburgher, a winner at Louisville can still be had at 20's. Others quoted at 25 to 1, are Sweep All and Insco, neither of which the Commissioner regards as serious contenders. The other likely starters are Mor-stone at 30 to 1, whose recent phenomenal race at Jamaica Impressed Shaw greatly; Ladder, 3 Oto B'ar Hunter, 30 tol; Spanish Play, 50 tot; Don Leon, 50 to Prince D' Amour, 60 to Boys Howdy, 60 to 1, and Siskin, 100 to 1.

His trainer. Tommy Roderick, said the colt would not run in the Preakness. Sun Meadow, a stake winner last year, returned to form by defeating Hillsborough, Frisius, Morsel, Fortunate Youth and a number of other likely prospects of his age on Monday. C. V.

Whitney's Equipoise, early favorite for the Preakness and the Kentucky Derby a week from Saturday, apparently has recovered from the ailment blamed for his poor showing in the Chesapeake Stakes at re de Grace when he ran last in a field of six. He is to be given a workout Monday and a' public trial between races Wednesday at Pimlico.

Poor Mans Golf -Finally Arrives; Heres The Plan Sheffield, May 3-(AP) Now that the low cost of golfing has been figured out by Sheffield and Tuscum-bia golfers, a suggestion for lower scores is in order. "The Pauper's Country Club" that's the official name has been formed with a nine hole course, borrowed clubhouse and a life membership fee of 60 cents.

is in a quandry. They are placed in the predicament of winning a track meet, which they are charged with losing, according to Coach O. M. Nikoloff and Assistant Coach Charles Mileham, who arrived home yesterday. It all.

happened this way: The Bearcats met Carnegie Tech at Pittsburgh Saturday in what was termed one of the most experiences the Red and. Black ever After gaining an edge over the Tartans, despite their conceding the hammer throw to Carnegie, since the event is not contested by Ohio colleges, the Bearcats were all set for the final event on the program the relay race, the coaches said. When the Tartans failed to appear for the event, the Varsity coaches became curious and inquired about it, only to have the officials reply that the relay is optional and, since Carnegie did not Intend competing in It, the meet was over. This left the Bearcats on the short end of the score by 32-3 points, after the scorers failed to concede the e-'ent to the Red and Black, as the latter did it in the hammer throw. Had the Bearcats been credited with the conceding of the relay, th3y would have compiled 71 2-3 points to Carnegie's 68 1-3.

The meet was run under different rules, the I. C. A. A. A.

rules, under which Eastern meets are conducted, differing from the National Intercollegiate rules, which supervise events in the Buckeye, Ohio and Western Conference. But there is nothing in the rules that forbid the contesting of any event and thereby hangs the tale of woe. want to see If I can't prevent some of those things that happened over in Pittsburgh," he said. Before the second game the Reds had been on a losing streak of seven straight games, dropping one to the Cardinals, two to the Cubs and four to the Pirates before they finally got down on the winning side again. To date they have not been able to compile a winnng streak of more than one straight game, both of their victories having been achieved over the Pirates, but maybe there will be a reversal of form on the present excursion.

Lena Styles caught the second game in excellent form. It was his first appearance of the season behind the bat, as Sukeforth had caught 13 straight games without a break. Stripp and Cuccinello ar now the only two Reds left who have played in all of the 14 championship contests. Neither of them has missed an inning as yet. Rumors that Nick Cullop was to be returned to the Minneapolis Continued.

Cleveland, May 3 (AP) Max Baer, Los Angeles heavyweight, will attempt to reenter the top flight of title aspirants here Tuesday when he takes on Cleveland's durable Johnny Risko over the ten-round route at Public Hall. Baer was a sensation during the winter until his slugging attack was beaten back by Tommy Loughran, of Philadelphia, and Ernie Schaaf, of Boston.

Providing he wins over Risko he is said to have a July 4 date with either Jimmy Maloney, of Boston, or Paulino Uzcudium, of Spain, in Reno, under promotion of Jack Dempsey. An interested spectator Is ex pected to turn up in the person of Max Sclimeling, heavyweight cham pion, who in the order of things may after a bit face the winner.

-goWtmngs Happen Iu Baseball. Go Try And Explain Them If You Can Hero Are Some To Ponder Over. New York, May 3 (US) Any number of things might make one think baseball has gone blooey, what with the A's being the lowest In team-batting in cither league, and Dizzy Dean, the greatest of all pitchers, by his own admission, being sent to the minors. Then there's Jim Bottomlcy, consigned by the experts to the scrap hap after his sorry showing in the last world series, massaging the onion all over the lot. go far, he's been the big punch In the Cardinal attack.

Pennock and Mitchell, both supposed to have been all through a couple of years ago, are the leading pitchers of the Yankees and Giants respectively, or lespectfully, whichever way you want it. The Tankees, singing the "Infirmary Blues," have for the present an edge over the world champion Mack-men. The Cubs, supposed to be slower than a train through Arkansas, are leading the National League in fielding. And April slipped by without the great Vance getting into the winning column. You can blame the above on the business depression or the visit of the King of Siam, but you can't explain why Earnshaw Is the leading hitter of the A's, far above Cochrane, Simmons and Foxx, or why Frankie Frisch is having as much trouble reaching first as Babe Herman is trying to catch an easy fly ball.

Most important, however, is that the gate receipts are "gatier" than ever, as witness the fact that Dean, according to reports from St. Louis, has already drawn all of his 1931 salary. There are a lot of other folks who would like to learn how to do this trick. Won. Lost.

This is the forty-second renewal of this famus classic and since its inception in 1891 the vast sum of $889,930 has been paid out and pledged to date! This is the pioneer trotting stake of the kind, and the 1931 renewal carries two and three-year-old divisions for both trotters and pacers to be contested in 1933 and 1934. The total number of nominators is 106.

The Walnut Hall Farm of Dr. Ogden M.

Small favors are thankfully received in these dull days. The First Game. Red Lucas, ace of the Red staff, went out after his second victory cf the season in the opener, and came near getting his wish. But one awful inning took it away from him, after the Reds had secured a two-run lead off Ray Kremer. Aside from this round, the sixth, in which the Pirates combined four of their seven hits with two errora and a very costly pass, the red head was splendidly effective.

The "one bad session, however, was bad enough to decide the issue and our boys could not catch up after it had been spread before the public. Both Lucas and Kremer pitched fcrdat ball for four innings, during which the Reds got two singles and the Pirates one. But our boys broke loose in the last half of the fifth pnd looked for a minute like winners. Crabtree led off with a safe bunt end reached second on Sukeforth's irut at first.
