TERRY'S HIT DEFEATS REDS Manager Bill Terry Drives In Winners In 11th Frame New York. May 4. Oj.R)—Marse William (Memphis Bill) Terry may be doing his New York Giants a lot of good standing on the coaching lin* hut his record this season shows that he could do a lot better by taking his turn in the batter's boi more often. Terry’s timely hitting, particularly in the pinches, has been nothing short of sensational. Injecting himself into the lineup only as u pinch hitter and as first baseman while Sam Leslie's Injury healed, Terry has blasted out 14 bits in" 26 times at bat for a percentage. of .538. the highest in the National league. It was Terry’s line single yesterday in the 11th with the bases full that enabled the Giants to down the Cincinnati Reds. 7 o 5. Olney got away to a three-run lead in the third inning and it was not until the sixth that New York, was able to tie it up. With the bases full and won out in the 11th, Terry stepped up to the plate in place of Burgess Whitehead, a .260 hitter. Memphis Bill lined a single to center. Bartell and Man-

cuso scampered home with the winning runs. The victory enublled the Giants to climb back in seclond place, half a game behind the j Cards. I Frankie Frisch led the Cardinals I to their sixth straight victory. 6 to . 2, over the Boston Bees. Chicago's Cubs dropped back Io i third place as the Philadelphia ' Phillies administered a 12-lnnlng 8 I to 5 defeat to the league champ- | ions. Syl Johnson, last of a trio of Phil pitchers, was the winner as Philadelphia pushed over three runs in the 12th on three singles, an outfield fly and manager Jimmy Wilson's double. Fourth place again was occupied by the Pittsburgh Pirates who pounced on Van Mungo for runs in the eighth inning and defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers 6 to 5. West Ferrell shut out the world chumpion Detroit Tigers and allowed but two hits, both of them to Goose Goalin, as the Boston Red Sox hammered Tommy Bridges and Joe Sullivan for a 6 to 0 victory Foxx and Rick Ferrell homered.. It was Foxx's sixth of the year. . The New York Yankees ran wild and licked the St. Ixmis Browns, 14 to 5. but not until the Brownies had driven ace Vernon Gomez to cover with a five-run spurt in the fifth. The highly publicized rookie, Joe Di Maggio, came through with three hits in his first appearance in the New York lineup, but had to share his place in the sun with Ben Chapman who tripled twice, doubled and singled in four attempts for a perfect score. Zeke Bonura's home run climaxed a five-run rally in the ninth and enabled the Chicago White Sox to defeat the Philadelphia Athletics, 3 to 4. The Cleveland Indians whipped the Washington Senators. 3-0, in a game called at the end of the fifth because of rain. Yesterday's hero: Bill Terry, manager of the New Y’ork Giants, whose 11th inning pinch single sent home the winning runs against the Cincinnati Reds. o LEADING BATTERS Player Club G AB R II Pct.

♦- ♦ Today’s Sport Parade (By Henry McLemore) Louisville, Ky.. May 4.—4U.PJ—A good horse, a goou ride, and good breaks. Where, in nine words and a pair of commas, Is the story of the 62nd running of what has occasionally been described as the historic Kentucky derby. It was quite the proper thing in Louisville today, just as it was on yesterday and around sundown Saturday afternoon, to say that the best horse didn't win; that ißreavity. and not Bold Venture should have come home in front to take the hatful of money, the gold cup, and the immortality.. Maybe so. It's entirely possible that the close of the '36 racing season will find Brevity soundly established as the top three-year-old. And Bold Venture tagged as strictly a one-shot horse. But right now no amount of second guessing can becloud the fact that the big Sciiw’artz gamester is the No. 1 fellow in his class. You can’t ask a horse to do more than win. and that’s what Bold Venture did against a field that included all the good ones, in a race where it was for keeps com the starting gate right on down to the pay-off slot. And he won it the hard way. If there’s any truth in the old sports belief that the pressure is toughest when you’re winging out front. He didn't lay-off the pace and follow the crowd. Out in the middle of the back stretch he got his head

and, picking up rivals in clusters, banged squarely on top. They hud a little better than half a mile to catch him in. But they couldn't do it. That tremendous show of sped in the back stretch, when the | finish was nearly a mile away, was j a daring, glorious gamble. A bold. Bold Venture you might say. But nothing ventured, nothing gained, the little baby-ft ed Hanford must have said to himself as he barrelled along on the back of his mount. And once bis mind was made up, his silks began to go to town. To me. Brevity’s greatest show jof courage did not come in that magnificent challenge in the stretch, but in that heart-breaking | moment shortly after the start i i (which was he nearest thing to a wild west since Buffalo Bill’s circus act) when he was spun half-, way around, and knocked to his knees. There are few horses, and few riders with as stout hearts as the Widner beauty and Wayne Wright, the “Idaho hot potato,”; showed there. Undaunted, Wright straightened Brevity out. put him I in stride, and hit the quarter mile I post no worse off than ninth, a length and a half back of Bold Venture in eighth place. To Wright's credit, he didn't beef much about the mishap. A rodeo rider himself when the chips are down (remember his work at I the head of the stretch in the SIOO,- j 000 Santa Anita?)? He knows, that it's every one for himself i when the reward is rich. It was strictly a two-horse race. I The others didn’t belong iu the: same league. Grand slam, Teufel,, the Fighter, Sangreal, and all the ' rest would have done well to have ! jumped the fence iu the backstretch and called it a day.

Mathews regained his feel and attempted to continue his attack on the administration but his ! remarks were drowned ont by boo ing and shouting.. The fiery Nogales mayor, twice candidate for governor of Arizona, returned to the platform a few minutes later and apologized for “losing my temper,” “It would not be a Democratic convention without a fight.” he said. “I am sorry 1 had to be the ; first to start something. Mathews refused to prefer l charges.
