They're shown dining in New York. Associated Press. Numerous baseball critics have rated the Cleveland Indians the team to beat in the American League this year, assuming the New York Yankees don't run away with the show, and here are four of the chief reasons for the Indians' impressive early-season showing.

Left to right: the still sensational Bob Feller, mainstay of the Cleveland pitching staff; Ken Kelt-ner, outstanding rookie infielder; heavy hitting Hal Trosky, and Manager Oscar Vitt, who directs the team's strategy.

New York, May 15 (AP) Ted Roberts, forty-one-year-old New York boathouse proprietor, won the eleventh annual Albany-to-N York outboard marathon today when he piloted his little boat, Phantom, down 130 miles of choppy water ahead of 76 contestants. Fred Jacoby, of North Bergen, N. who won in 1935, finished second and was cheated of another victory when his craft broke down about a quarter-mile from the line when he was far In the lead. He barely limped across ahead of Douglas Fonda of New York City, who was third. The weather was the worst in the history of the event, and it was reflected in the times.

Roberts, completing the stretch in 3:55.45, averaged only 33.023 miles an hour, as compared to the record of 44.4 established by Charles Cabot of New Haven, in 1932. The start was delayed more than two hours, and It was only after repeated ballotings among the drivers that it finally was decided to take off in the face of an official suggestion to postpone the event. Boats swamped right and left all the way down the stretch, and all the drivers took a walloping, even when they stayed close inshore. Roberts, the oldest man ever to win the race, was so tired at the finish he barely could pull into the float. "I had to bail all the way," he said, "and I almost decided to quit a couple of times.

It was awful." For Roberts it was the ninth attempt, and then he won only because of a generous handicap. Jacoby, despite his tough luck when in signt or tne nnisn, actually covered the course in 3:30.36, and averaged 36.966 miles an hour. Fonda, third, was timed in 3:39.09, at an average of 35.524 miles an hour. That's how it goes in outboard racing. Roberts conducts a boathouse right next door to the finish line, and his mother was out on the float to wave him across.

The victory was worth $500 to Roberts, who is a professional. Also he received the William Randolph Hearst trophy. Fonda, third, was the first amateur to finish, and he got a trophy, too. Because of the nearly impossible conditions, the Coast Guard asked that the race not be run, and when the drivers insisted on going, Uncle Sam's sailors refused them the customary assistance and made no auempi to clear the way for them.

Dean May Take Regular Turn Within Two Weeks It "Kink" Is Missing. Chicago, May 15 (UP) Come Wednesday and Phil K. Wrigley, youthful owner of the Chicago Cubs, will begin to know whether he made a sound investment when he parted with $185,000 cash and three players for the great Dizzy Dean.

That's the day Diz will toss a baseball for the first time since he was odered on May 4 to give his ailing right arm a complete rest for two weeks and not pitch in a game for a month. Unveiling of the question-mark arm will take place in the Polo Grounds, New York, where the Cubs open their first Eastern in-mark the beginning of a vitally on Wednesday when the two-week rest period ends Dean will wrap his long fingers around a ball and indulge in practice tosses that will mark the beginning of a virtually important testing period. If the deltoid muscle that put Dizzy on the shelf doesn't start acting up, he probably will be able to take his regular turn on the mound in a fortnight. If, however, the tests show that a "kink" still is present in Dean's shoulder, it might mean the end of his brilliant career. IMPORTANT "IFS." They are important "ifs" to Wrigley and the Cubs.

The team's pennant chances hang in the balance and for Wrigley it means the difference between the success or failure of an investment representing $250,000. In addition to the $185,000 cash, Wrigley gave up Pitchers Curt Davis, Clyde Shoun, and Outfielder George Stainback to acquire Diz from the St. Louis Cards April 16. Before his ailment was discovered, Diz had started four games for the Cubs and finished only one -r-a shutout victory over his former mates. His record is three wins and no losses.

He was inclined to minimize the soreness in his shoulder until Manager Charlie Grimm ordered him to have the ailing flipper X-rayed. Examination showed he had an inflamed deltoid muscle, a condition which Dr. John F. Davis, club physician, said was "one of the easiest things to cure." WORKS OUT DAILY. Since May 4 Dean has adhered faithfully to the treatment prescribed by Dr.

Davis complete rest for the arm for two weeks. Since then he has worked out daily at Wrigley Field, running around the park and shagging flies to get into condition. As the Cubs entrained for New York tonight, Diz was optimistic. "I wasn't in good shape when I reported to the Cubs," he said, "but I am now. I don't feel so hurt in my shoulder now.

Of course, I've got to see how things are when I start tossing a ball, but I ain't worryin'. Not Ol' Diz. I know everything is goin' to turn out all right. "If the doc says I can't pitch for two weeks more, I won't. But I hope it ain't goin' to be that long.

I'm rarin' to go!" Then he turned to Grimm and, with a big grin, shouted: "Hey, Charlie! I guess I'll be able to take my regular turn any day now, huh?" Triplett Let Out As Cubs Cut Down Chicago, May 15 (AP) The Chicago Cubs baseball team reduced its roster to the player limit of 23 today with the release of Coaker Triplett, Newel Kimball, and Bobby Mattick on option. The club announced Rookie Outfielder Triplett, formerly of Nashville of the Southern Association, would go to Minneapolis of the American Association, and Shortstop Mattick to Indianapolis of the same league. Kimball, right-hand pitcher, will join Birmingham of the Southern Association. All were to report to their new clubs tomorrow. away the driftwood and shaping and moulding with a pennant ahead in mind maybe not next yea, but perhaps by 1940.

He swung a deal yesterday designed to strengthen the Infield, getting First Baseman Dick Sei-bert from the Columbus American Association Club in exchange for Firse Baseman Gene Hasson, Outfielder Paul Easterling, and Pitcher George Turbeville. Seibert, belonging to the St. Louis Cardinals, had recently appealed to Commissioner Landis to be declared a free agent, contending he had been "covered up." Outfielder Sam Chapman, the all-American fullback from the University of Californta, reputed to be a "find," has been signed by the "Pep" Martin' Drives Across Winner After Owen, First Up, Delivers Triple. Benge Charged With Defeat Our Lads Bat Across Four Markers In Fifth Inning. FECIAL DISPiTCH TO THE ENQUIRES.

Sportsman's Park, St. Louis, May 15 After coming from behind several times during the course of the game, the Reds were forced to accept a second extra inning defeat when the Cardinals won out in the tenth by a score of 12 to 11 today. Five pitchers toiled for the Reds Peaches Davis, Hollingsworth. Weaver, Cascarella, and Benge, the last named being charged with the reverse. The Cards employed three heavers Warneke, Lanier, and Curt Davis, Davis being credited with the victory.

The Cards collected 17 hits, and the Reds 15, Job Medwick leading with four out of five. In the tenth, Owen, first up for the Cards, tripled to right center. Stainback was sent in to run, and the game was over when Pepper Martin, batting for Curt Davis, singled to center. DAVIS IS POUNDED. The Cards got to Davis immediately.

Stu Martin singled to start the first inning, and Stripp sacrificed. Slaughter singled to score Martin. Medwick also got a and Mize's double counted Slaughter. Medwick tallied as Frey threw out Padgett. The Reds came right back with three in the second.

Perhaps, they didn't deserve them, but they got them just the same. McCormick singled and Hershberger was safe on Stu Martin's bad throw. Craft doubled McCormick over. Riggs struck out, but Kampourls, batting for Myers, beat out a hit and Hershberger counted, Craft coming in on Davis's grounder to Stu Martin. Davis was kayoed in the third.

Slaughter opened with a double and singles by Medwick and Mire followed. Hollingsworth then entered the lists and Padgett greeted him with a fourth hit. GUTTERIDGE SCORES. Gutteridge forced Padgett, stole second, continued on to third on Hershberger's bad throw, and scored after Goodman caught Owen's fly. The fourth saw plenty of hitting and scoring.

The Reds manufactured a run in their half when Hershberger tripled and Riggs doubled, but the Caids, on a hitting spree, came back with a cluster of four and made it necessary for Jim Weaver to relieve Hollingsworth. Stu Martin opened with a single. Stripp sacrificed and Slaughter grounded out, but Medwjck hit for the circuit. Mize singled and Padgett connected for a four-bagger. Weaver then got Gutteridge on a grounder.

WARNEKE RETIRES. The heavy firing continued in the fifth which witnessed the retirement of Warneke, Lanier relieving him. The Inning was good for four Cincinnati runs. Cooke was called out on strikes to start, but Goodman walked and McCormick singled. A pass to Hershberger filled the bases and Craft's single counted Goodman and McCormick.

Riggs lined out but Kampourls hit a long single and Hershberger and Craft sailed in. Lanier made Weaver ground out to end the inning. It's hard to believe but there wasn't a single run in either half of the sixth but the Reds made one in the seventh on doubles by McCormick and Riggs. Lombardi had a chance to drive In another when he batted for Weaver but rolled out to 'short. Cascarella then assume'd the pitching burden.

In the eighth, the Reds tied it up. With one down, Cooke drew a pass and scored ahead of Goodman when the latter parked one on the right field pavilion roof. Craft started the ninth with a double and Riggs sacrificed. Kam-pourls's fly fell safe in short left but when Craft tried to score, he was. nailed by Medwick's perfect throw.

Jordan batted for Cascarella and ended the inning. Benge becoming the Reds' fifth pitcher. No score in the ninth sent the game into extra innings for the second straight day. Club. Won.

May 15 (AP) Barney Ross, working hard for the defense of his welterweight title, was cheered today when Bow-tie Jimmy Bronson flatly predicted he would knock out the challenger, Henry Armstrong, when they meet in Madison Square Garden Bowl, May 26. Bronson, one of boxing's shrewdest judges of condition, visited camp. After watching Barney step through six fast rounds with three sparring partners he went right out to the end of the limb for the champion. "He's the smartest fighter in the world today," said Bronson. "Unquestionably he's the sharpest hitter in his division and proves his smartness in his anticipation of the other fellow's moves.

And he is tops in putting his opponent in a disadvantageous position. "The smartest fighter we have had in the last 30 years was Gene Tunney and when he moved out of boxing to take his place in business, Ross succeeded him. "I'll say for the record that Ross will knock Armstrong out and that he'll do it with his right uppercut. Barney looks better to me than he did five or six years ago. He has added knowledge and poise.

"He's more of a champion today than ever," concluded Bronson. BUDGET IS ADOPTED By U. S. Olympic Skate Committee Tryouts Next January. Chicago, May 15 (LP) The Speed Skating Committee for the 1940 Olympic games tonight adopted a $15,000 budget and announced the United States may send four entries in each of the four events in the winter games at Sapporo, Japan.

Grover R. Peterson, Milwaukee, committee Chairman, said final tryouts for the speed skating team will be held early in January, 1939, at a place yet to be selected. The committee decided to begin raising the fund immediately in an effort to complete the budget before contestants are selected. Funds are to be raised by benefit events, tryout guarantees, and by the contributions of sportsmen. Frank M.

Kalteux, Chicago, former President of the Amateur Skating Union of the United States and 1936 Olympic Chairman, was elected Secretary of the committee. Peter Miller, Chicago Park District Director and C. V. O. skating coach, was named Olympic Committee representative and Olympic speed skating team coach.

A's and will join them in Cleveland tomorrow. "I'm going to put Chapman right into the line-up at once," said Mr. Mack. "We have fine reports on him and he may be able to help us right away." Mr. Mack rates Ken Keltner, Cleveland's young third baseman, as the year's best rookie, terming him a "real ball player both in the field and at bat." Discussing the pennant race, the tall, thin gentleman reiterated his spring prediction that "It's going to be a six club race." "You can count us out of it," he said, "and also the St.

Louis Browns. But even we are stronger than last year. Chicago has been hurt by injuries but they will be tough for any club to beat. De- Continued On Next Page, CINCINNATI. AB.

Preakness Victor To Point For Belmont Stakes At Mile And Half June 4 Three-Way Stmggle Is On For Turf Championship. Baltimore, May 15 (AP) Dauber's great, mud-speckled Preaknees triumph placed in the hands of some future turf classic today the unscrambling of the race for three-year-old honors. Just a year ago, the speedy War Admiral already had blazed most of his trail to that title with triumphs in the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. The Samuel Riddle colt's victory in the 1937 Belmont Stakes won that crown for him. Now it appears that a three-way duel between Dauber, Lawrin, the Derby winner, and Stagehand, wonder colt of the West Coast, will be needed to stamp the name on this year's title.

Richard Handlen, trainer for William C. duPont, said today Dauber wil! point for the mile and a half Belmont Stakes June 4. He will leave for the New York track tomorrow morning. OUT OF BELMONT. Dauber's great drive through Pimlico's mud after his normal slow start proved his trainer's liking for longer distances for the du Pont colt.

With that in view, Handlen said Dauber will not go in the Withers mile at Belmont Saturday. The son of Pennant, given a perfect ride by Jockey Maurice Peters, was six and a half lengths off the pace at the half-mile post yesterday, but moved up fast on the outside to prove again what he showed in the Derby that he is one of the year's greatest stretch runners. He covered the mud-laden mile-and-three-sixteenths distance in the impressive time of 1:59, three seconds over the track record set last Wednesday by Pompoon over a fast course. That great performance labels him as the "horse to beat" in the Belmont. His showing there, Handlen said, will determine whether the chestnut colt is to run in the Arlington Classic at Arlington Park, Chicago, in July.

The classic also is scheduled to draw Maxwell Howard's Stagehand and Hi M. Woolf's Lawrin. OLD TURF FOES. Stagehand and Dauber are old opponents of the turf. Dauber ran third to Stagehand and Can't Wait in the Santa Anita Handicap, a mile race, and second to Stagehand in the derby there at a mile and an eighth a week later.

The Lawrin-Dauber clash in the Kentucky Derby left much to be settled in a future meeting. Jockey Peters contended after that race Dauber was bumped. Stagehand was kept from the Derby and the Preakness by coughing. Ths surprise of the Preakness' forty-eighth running came from Cravat, Townsend G. Martin's 67-1 shot.

He came from nowhere to follow Dauber across the finish line, with Hal Price Headley's Menow third. HARNESS HORSEMAN DIES. Columbus, Ohio, May 15 (AP) L. L. Adler, 68 years old, President of the Ohio Sand and Gravel Company and owner and trainer of harness race horses, died at his home here last night.

Fresno, May 15 (AP) University of Southern California, on the basis of its latest smashing track and field triumoh, appeared today to have clinched the role of favorite to win the 1938 National Collegiate A team title, a feat it has accomplished for the last three years. The powerful Trojan squad as sembled this season by Coach Dean Cromwell added the West Coast re lays team championship last night to a list swelled by successive victories in dual meets earlier in the year. While piling up 71's points, almost doubling the score of the second place University of California team, the Southern Californians raced to a world record time in the 440-yard relay. The time was 40.5 seconds as compared to the listed mark of 40.8 set by the 1931 U. S.

C. team. The American record, accordiig to the official guide book, is 10.6 seconds, made in 1935 by the University of Iowa. FILLIES To Hold Top Spots Along With Sprinters At River Downs This Week Star Lina Goes Wednesday. Two-year-old fillies and sprinters will hold the feature spots this week at River Downs.

The fillies will race five furlongs in the Misses Purse Wednesday for a $1,500 purse, and the feature for next Saturday is the Hotel Sinton Handicap at six furlongs. Star Liria, which made her debut in the Prospect last Wednesday and which was barely beaten, and other good fillies are expected to vie for honors in the Misses. The Hotel Sinton Handicap, which carries $2,000 in added money, will be the second stakes for sprinters. Torchy carried off the honors in the Cincy Inaugural Handicap and unless Trainer Clyde Van Dusen decides to return him from Dixiana Farm he will be missing from the field. However, reports received from Louisville are that several top-l'Otch sprinters would come here for the race.

Bacon and Josh are among those mentioned and the local colony will offer Tilly Kate, Wise Barrister, Miss Bulldog, Congressman, Sweep Like, Coulee-dam, Old Rosebush, Ginocchio, Yantis, Pompeys Pillar, Elooto and several others. Although he has been unsuccessful to date in carding one of the long-distance races, Secretary Charles Henry hopes to fill the Trial Plater Handicap for next Saturday. It will be run over two miles and one-sixteenth and leads up to the Champ Plater Handicap to be offered on Saturday, May 28. With the rains yesterday there is little hope for the track being better than slow today, but if the weather is good it will dry out rapidly and be in its best condition by Tuesday. Racing fans of Middletown, Ohio, will be honored at a "Middletown Day" at River Downs Wednesday.

Several of the events on the day's program will be named in honor of prominent Middletown citizens and a well-known Middletown business man will serve as a "guest steward" for the day's racing. According to a letter from Charles Fay, President of the Fay Oil Company of Middletown, a large delegation is planning to make the trip. STANDING OF JOCKEV8 AT RIVF.H DOWNS. S. Williams 18 M.

New York, May 15 (UP) Connie Mack was bright and chipper this morning. The seventy-five-year-old leader of the Philadelphia Athletics had just come out of an hour's meeting with his players. He is enthusiastic about building his present outfit into another pennant winner. "We are not quite ready yet," said Mr. Mack.

"We have some good boys who are improving, but we need some others. We are getting better though. Yes, I think we have something to work with. We may show big improvement this year, but we still have a long way to go to get in the pennant contending class." But Mr. Mack already is cutting I.
