SPORTS
ROUNDUP
BY HUGH FULLERTON, JR.
NEW YORK, May 8.—(TP)—A year ago the fight mob
was saying that Henry Armstrong was too nice a guy to
be trying a comeback . . . He was so old and brittle that
he’d probably fall apart if he tried to climb down from
the shelf . . . Now they’re calling him the fight promoters
savior—and with good reason . . . after winning 15 of 17
fights on the coast, not counting his bout with a tonsillec
tomy, Hank came east to draw
$33,000 against A1 Tribuani
in Philadelphia, $ 1 0 5,000
against Beau Jack in Madison
Square Garden, $19,000
against Saverio Turiello in
Washington and last night
$24,000 against Tommy Jes
sup in Boston ... If he can
get some real opponents, he’ll
do better next time in those
places . . . Right now Hank is
booked to meet Maxie Shapiro
in Philly May 24 and A1 Weill
is trying to line up a Wash
ington scrap in June that he
says will do $70,000.
THE OLD GAY MAYOR
Bob Madry, best known here
abouts as a slick shouter of the
glories of North Carolina football,
probably is the only guy :n the
world to be a governor and a
mayor at the same time . . With
in a six-day stretch last month
Bob was elected a district gover
nor of Rotary and re-elected mayor
of Chapel Hill. N. C. . . . He's
also an ex-president—of the Amer
ican College Publicity association.
SERVICE DEPT.
Soldier-golfers who use the Camp
Croft (S.C.) driving range have
their choice of targets—Mussolini.
100 yards; Hirohito, 150, or Hitler
200. They haven’t figured one out
yet for 250 yards.
TODAY’S GUEST STAR
Charlie Landolf, New Castle
(Pa.j News: “Lddie Rochester
Anderson hasn’t been around tor
his usual radio program, He’e
probably still in Louisville wait
ing for Burnt Cork to come
home.”
CLEANING THE CUFF
College talent scouts are report
ed hanging around Fowlerville,
Mich., where Hollis Gehringer,
Charley’s cousin, is burning up
the cinders in school track meets
. . . The Richmond Colts man
aged to get in just one exhibition
game this spring before the Pied
mont league season began. They
had shortages of both nlayers and
good weather. . . Arturo Godoy,
the lammed Latin, expects to know
next week whether he can return
to the United States to fight. . .
Jimmy Conzelman, the Demosthe
nes of pro football, will be the
honored guest at the next Lambs’
gambol, coming in here at night
after delivering a breakfast lec
ture to several hundred truck
drivers in Boston . . . from Lions
to Lambs, of course.

MARYLAND STAKES
WON EASIER THAN
BIG DERBY EVENT
New Moon, Last In Race,
‘Couldn’t Even See
The Running’
PIMLICO RACE TRACK, Balti
more, May 8.—(fP)—The Count cake
walked to the tune of “Maryland.
My Maryland” today even easier
and snappier than he did to “My
Old Kentucky Home” a week ago.
Following up his three-length
romp of last Saturday, Count Fleet
just about ran off and this time
in the 53rd running of the ancient
Preakness Stakes. As a matter of
fact, he did just that to one horse
in the slim field of four, for after
it was over, Wayne Wright the
jockey aboard last-placed New
Moon complained that he “didn’t
even see the race.”
As a matter of fact it wouldn’t
have made an difference if he had,
because Airs. John D. Hertz’s rangy
brown lightning streak took com
mand of the old hilltop track from
the word go, was five lengths on
top after half a mile and just
laughed the rest of the way to hit
the pay-off window eight lengths
in front of Allen Simmons’ Akron
owned Blue Swords, who is practi
cally making a career out of chas
ing the Fleet into port this spring.
And for 29,38y shirt sleeved and
sweltering customers who made up
one of the ten biggest crowds in
the history of Pimlico's picturesque
yellow-and-white racing plant, the
Hertz-hurricane out of Chicago
not only made good at a prohibi
tive betting price of 3 to 20, but
also took another step along the
road toward ranking as “the great
est since Man o’ War.”
Although Johnny Longden, the
little Wakefield (England) veter
an who had been the only jockey
ever to ride the Count in a race,
was trying to ease him up through
the entire last eighth of a mile,
the Fleet had up such a full head
of steam he over-ran the finish by
three eighths of a mile before
dropping anchor.
For a few yards rounding the
stretch turn, Vincentive, W. L.
Brann’s local boy who couldn't
make good ranged up alongside of
Blue Swords under Georgie Woolf’s
whipping ride but as the straight
ened out, Johnny Adams, the pud
gy little Kansan whacked the Ak
ron ambler once with the bat and
he pulled away to take the $10,000
second money by 4 1-2 lengths.
For New Moon, the so-so stepper
from the barn of Henry L. Straus
the Reisterstown (Md.) race-track
totalizator manufacturer, had abso
lutely nothing, after trying to run
with the Count for the first few
yards. He was definitely in the
wrong league and he picked up the
$2,000 second money simply be
cause all he had to do was roll
around the race track for it.
All in all, it was about the class
iest job of flying on the ground
the Count has demonstrated in a se
ries of high class jobs since he
zoomed into the racing spotlight
last fall. And in doing it he pick
ed up $43,190 for today’s triumph
so easily it was like finding the
bankroll on a street corner.
Despite the fact this was the
smallest Preakness pay check since
the Maryland Jockey Club boosted
this turf special to .Us $!i0,000-added
status seven years ago, the fancy
purse upped the Fleet’s earnings to
$202,260 for what actually amounts
to less than a year of racing.

Yankees Lose First Tilt
At Home To Mackmen, 9-4
NEW YORK, May 8—(JP)—The
New York Yankees finally dropped
their first game of the season on
their home field today when the
Philadelphia Athletics backed up
Russ Christopher’* seven-hit pitch
ing with a 14-hit attack that gave
them a 9 to 4 decision over the
American League champions.
Until the Athletics opened up
their big guns in the third and
fourth inning, the champs had ac
counted for eight straight in the
Yankee Stadium, the last five in
a-row. Christopher was nicked for
a two-run homer by Bill Dickey in
the second inning but the Mack
men bounded back with five tallies
off Atley Donald and then picked
four more in the fourth before
they were squelched by milkman
Jim Turner.
Christopher also stopped Bill
Johnson’s hitting streak after the
rookie third baseman had run it to
eight straight games.
Turner throttled the Athletics
after the fourth but the home boys
could do little wit hChristopher’s
offerings. They did pick up a run
in the fifth and another in the
ninth when Johnny Lindell tripled
to score Johnson, who had walked.
Five singles and an error by
Roy Weatherly accounted for the
Philadelphians’ first cluster. Babe
Siebert’s double was the big blow
of the fourth as it cleaned the
loaded bases.

The Braves made 10 hits, two

today, scoring a confused five
runs after two were out to snatch
a ball game from the Chicago

The Cubs had every right to
claim the game for Lon Warneke,

fatal moment. After holding the
Reds 2 to 1 for eight innings, they
got three runs in the ninth.

Miller singled and was forced by

Cormick and Gee Walker singled,
scoring Marshall. Bert Haas sin

Hiram Bithorn relieved War

be the most unusual opening &Z
the loop began operation's h'
years ago.
Even the diamonds have bee
fixed and await the big dav
alas’, the war-plagued Cape tv
like most of the other small lea.
gues about the country, hav
waivered rights lo the service ur'
its and as a result the bulk orde
for uniforms and equipment have
not been filled. Only two teanr
Camp Davis and the Shipbuilder
have new equipment to start the
race, and at least one club is rt.
ported without any at all.
However, minus much of the
color, gaity, and fanfare of paJ;
openings, the league opens up ;
day in old togs with Camp Dav.,
meeting the Shipbuilders at Ce
Stadium while Whitley's Blade,
battle the Sheetmetal team
Robert Strange and Frank Cle.r,
mon’s Engineers pry the lid u:
against the Welders at Hilton. Al,
games are scheduled to begin a:
4:45 p. m.
Nothwithstanding all the troubi:
and delay in getting underway
the Cape Fear league, accord:":
the an “on paper” surveys stack:
up as a pretty tight circuit. Sup
pose we run down the list as the
clubs prepare to line up at the
post.
George Whitted s Shipbuilder!
are the slight favorites to show the
way, but the going is expected b
be tough. Last Sunday’s exhibi

ing AA’s should be right up ar. 'r H
the upper crust and today's r,.~- |
her two clash with the Boa:: r. J
will give the soldiers a chance to |
come back when it counts. I
With Davis, Shipyard and league |
officials expected to be on hand I
to participate in the loop's omy I

will probably start the game with 1
the same lineur.p that was used §
the exhibition tilt. Johnson will I
