^^NEWYORK, April 22.—(/P)_Any day now we expect
t0 hear that the pigeons around St. Patrick’s Cathedral
nlan to attach a small service charge to the privilege of
feeding them, and that the Butchers’ Union is advocating
even meatless days a week
Yes sir, fthese eventualities seem quite probable In
view of the fact that the press will be barred from the
Brooklyn Dodgers’ dressing room after games and forced
7 cool its heels in an anteroom waiting for the noble ath
; , to condescend to speak to the scribes.
6 Tlodger President Branch Rickey, who will build this
eternity ward annex in which the writers will do their
n and nail nibbling, makes the whole idea sound rea
dable and beneficial to all concerned. And, dog gone it,
the relations between ball players and the press now
as i/ic +_
°“iE 5K—
key, “that In 25 years I never have
entered the clubhouse of a team
after a losing game. To do «o
would be to scrape the scab off
acres and leave someone bleeding.
“Most of the clubhouse fights oc
cur within 10 minutes of the end
of the game; most of them within
two or three minutes. The players
are keyed up, haven't had a chance
,o cool off. They aren’t ready for
interviews.”
Xoiv this strictly a don t Bo
th;,- papa, he's had a hard day at
the office” situation, and to be
pure that the scribes don’t violate
the privacy of the great men the
writers' torture chamber will be
constructed so that manager Leo
Durocher’s office will serve as a
buffer. A door from Leo’s office
will connect with the chamber, and
the manager will step through that
door in all his majesty — da-daa
-immediately after the game and
make arrangements to call in any
player the writers might wish to
see. He's just' the guy who hollers
■ next'’ in a barber shop.
Xow this system might work out
pretty well, barring the chance
that a player brought in might suf
fer a sudden attack of lockjaw
when confronted by a room full of
inquisitive gents and would have
trouble mouthing an audible grunt,
as under the most favorable cir
cumstances you have to use a stir
rup pump to get anything out of
the average ball player.
It is the idea of the thing that
rankles a little. The idea that it’s
a case of a train running for a
man instead of a man running for
a train. That is, If there were any
waiting to be done the ball players,
by the very nature of their work
and their debt to the press, should
do It.
After all, the press literally feeds
the ball players. If the press decid
ed abruptly to print no more base
ball news, baseball would give one
feeble gasp and promptly expire.
The game depends upon the free
publicity It gets. You don’t know
all about the Dodgers, and the
Yankees and Joe Dimaggio because
of the ads they run.
Yet here are members of the
press, with a spoon in their hand,
waiting patiently to feed the spoil
ed darlings, with the chance the
spoiled darlings might knock the
spoon right out of their hand. It’s
a question of who is doing who, or
whom, a favor, and baseball usual
ly takes the attitude It Is doing
the press the favor.
It’s always been that way, and
maybe Mr. Rickey realizes It Is too
late to change the picture now, and
that as long as the scribes are con
tent to wait for an opportunity to
talk to some first baseman or left
handed pitcher whom they want
to give a little free publicity they
might as well do so in the comfort
of their own Isolation ward.

CLEVELAND, April I*.—UP)—
Virgil (Fire) Trucks, young right

Cleveland Indians today, allowing
only four scattered hits while the
Detroit Tigers punched out a 4 to 0
victory.
The teams played before an esti
mated crowd of 2,500 in League

Detroit first drew blood in the
sixth inning, when Roger Cramer
beat out a slow roller for his third
of five hits, advanced to second on
Rip Radcliffs sacrifice, and scored
when freshman Dick Wakefield
blazed a liner through the pitch
er's box.
Rugged Rudy York, Tiger first
baseman, poled out a fluke triple in
the eighth, scoring Wakefield. York
scored two pitches later on a long

RAY STARR HOLDS
ST. LOUIS SQUAD
TO SEVEN SINGLES
Lonnie Frey Again Scores
One And Only Tally
For Ohio Team
CINCINNATI, April 22.—IB—The
Cincinnati Reds claimed their
fourth straight extra-inning, one
run victory today—two exhibition
and two regular—as Ray Starr
took full advantage of the new
dehydrated ball to blank the World
Champion St. Louis Cardinals
again, 1-0.
The ten-inning decision gave the
Cards, once the slugging terrors
of the National league, 21 consecu
tive scoreless innings, 11 of them
yesterday at the mercy of Johnny
Vander Meer.
Lonnie Frey opened today’s tenth
inning with a single and went to
second on Mike McCormick’s sac
rifice. Max Marshall singled to
right and made second on the
throw home, although Frey pulled
up at third. Then Frank McCor
mick received Ernie White’s third
intentional pass of the day. Eddie
Miller popped to Ray Sanders, but
Bert Haas singled Frey in with
the ball game.
As yesterday, the Reds put on
a ninth-inning threat that came
to nothing. Frank McCormick
opened with a single and was sac
rificed to second. Haas drew an
intentional pass, and Eric Tipton
grounded out. Ray Mueller also
was passed purposely to fill the
bases, but White made Starr drib
ble into a force play.
Again, as yesterday, the Cards
started hot, Jimmy Brown getting
a single to open the first. He got
to third on a couple of infield
plays, but died there.
Real trouble brewed in the fourth
when, after Debs Garms bunted
out, Tipton tripped on Stan Mu
sial’s drive, which went for a trip
le. But Starr, who walked no one
through the day despite his 36
years, made Whitey Kurowski and
Walker Cooper ground out.
The ball game demonstrated
again, as if all yesterday’s shut
out victories already hadn’t, that
unless the new baseball gets hard
pretty soon, this is a pitchers’
year.
The Reds have an even dozen
hits and two runs to show for 21
innings and the Cards seven hits
and no runs. The Reds won two
overtime exhibition games from
the Cleveland Indians over last
week-end.

DES MOINES. Ia., April 22.—
With freshmen and service men
filling part of the competitive gap
left by athletes away at war, the
34th annual two-day Drake Relays
Carnival open tomorrow.
On the first day’s program are
preliminaries in the 120-yard high

quarter-mile, half-mile and mile
relays and finals in the sprint med

lay and the two-mile run.
University an aollege entries
total 424, exactly 200 under the
1942 figure of 624. Counting prep
and elementary classes, the num

Relays Director Bill Easton fore
cast “one of the best crowds in
recent years despite restrictions on
travel.” He based h i s turnout
hopes on the thousands of Waacs
and war industry workers now lo
cated in Des Moines. Another war
time development — the relays
queen, formerly selected from a
distant school with much pagean
try and ballyhoo, will be a Drake
beauty this time.
On the basis of past perform
ances by some of the headliners,
five Drake records were believed
marks in the high jump, the 120
yard high hurdles, the pole vault
and the 440 and 880-yard relays.

THREE WAY RACE
Three Defending Cham
pions ‘Battle It Out’ At
Chapel Hill Today
CHAPEL HILL, April 22.—(IP)—A
three-way battle between the Uni
versity of North Carolina, Duke,
and V.M.I. for first place in the
annual Southern conference out
door track meet, which will be
held at Chapel Hill tomorrow and
Saturday, was predicted tonight.
One hundred and eighteen ath
letes from eight colleges and uni
versities will take part in the track
and field event.
Coach Bob Fetzer, veteran Tar
Heel run-and-jump mentor, gave
the nod to V.M.I.; by virtue of
the Cadets trimming Virginia by
a slightly larger score—some two
thirds of a point, to be exact—
than the Carolinians were able to
amass in defeating the Cavaliers.
However, with only three indi
vidual champions returning, the
team championship competition
will be mighty tough.
Most observers seemed to think
that V.M.I. and North Carolina
would be the teams to watch, with
Duke being a major threat to the
two if—and « big if—the Blue Dev
ils’ ace sprinter, Moffat Storer,
is able to compete. Storer was
out with an injured leg last Satur
day when Duke lost to the Tar
Heels, but Blue Devil coaches said
they would' try to have him in
shape for the conference meet.
North Carolina is the defending
champion, while the Cadets, with
an excellent chance of copping the
title this year, have never won a
conference meet.
Defending individual champions
who will be back this year include
South Carolina’s Riley, who took
firsts in the 100 and 220 dashes
last year; Rich Van Wagoner of
North Carolina, defending champ
in the mile run, and Bob Gantt
of Duke, who walked away with
the shot put in 142.

Yankees Open Season
By Downing Senators
NEW YORK, April 22.—UP)—The
New York Yankees weren’t able to
get their American League pennant
raised today, because of a broken
halyard on the centerfield flagpole,
but they managed to win their
opening- game from the Washington
Senators 5 to 4 before 5,8(50 fans.
It was Roy Weatherly, the little
centerfielder obtained from Cleve
land to fill the big void left in the |
Yankee’s lineup by Joe BiMaggio's
entry into the Army, who nailed
down the victory.
With the Yankees trailing by one
run, the bases loaded and one out
in the last of the ninth, Weatherly
delivered a DiMaggio touch to the
proceedings by hammering a double
into left field for two runs and the
ball game.
Big Ernie Bonham of the Yanks
and Early Wynn of the Senators
waged a scoreless pitching duel for
the first four innings of the game,
but an error by Joe Gordon, trying
for a double play, gave Washington
a run in the fifth.
The Yanks scored twice in their
half of the same inning on a walk
and three singles by Nick Etten,
John Lindell and George Stirn
weiss.
Another error, this time by Stirn
weiss, gave the Senators a chance
to tie the score—George Case get
ting on base on a fumble, stealing
second and scoring on a single by
Stan Spence.
Joe Gordon then smashed the sea
son’s first home run in the major
leagues to put the Yankees ahead
again, but the Senators refused to
give up easily.
Mickey Vernon walked to open
the ninth and after two were out,
Johnny Sullivan singled, Gene
Moore batted for Wynn and also
singled to score Vernon and Kllia
Clary doubled Sullivan home, forc
ing Johnny Murphy to relieve Bon
ham to get the final out.
However, Mickey Haefner and
Owen Scheetz, rookie liurlers who
shared the ninth inning mound
chore for Washington, were wild
and let the Y'anks load the bases
without a hit ahead of Weatherly’s
double.
The crowd which saw Mayor La
Guardia throw out the first ball was
the smallest inaugural turnout in
the history of Yankee Stadium.

Penn Relay Contestants
PHILADELPHIA, April 22.—UP—
Take all 2,500 athletes competing

one who looks the least like a
great runner, and you’d probably
hit upon a be-spectacled, 19-year
old divinity student named Jeffrey
Kirk.
But the experts say Kirk Is po
tentially “another Ted Meredith,
(the old-time Olympic champ)”,
and may develop into one of the
fastest middle distance runners of
all time.
The quiet, scholarly Penn sopho
more gets the first big test of his
career in these 49th annual relays,
and Coach Lawson Robertson will
be watching him closely. The old
Scot picked Kirk to run anchor in
the 880 and mile medleys.

the centerfield flag pole broke and
the big flag came fluttering back
down to the ground.
No effort was made to re-raise
the pennant, although league Pres

of the inaugural ceremonies. The

Ed Head held the Giants to six

allowed a couple of hits to get mix*
ed in between for a New York run.
However, the Dodgers reclaimed
this for him in the second and shell
ed Bill Lohrman off the mound with

though each team tallied one run
in the seventh. ,
Manager Mel Ott made four of

their runs. The Dodgers’ eight
safeties were scattered, but Albie
Glossop drove in two of their runs,
and also made two errors.
