game on the strength of relief pitching by Francis (Red) Barrett, who gave only one hit in four scoreless innings for a 3 to 2 victory. A double and triple by third baseman Jack Tobin figured in single run rallies which produced the victory margin. Little Frank (Stubby) Overmire kept up his fine work as a “fill-in” pitcher for the injured Alton Benton of the Tigers, winning his fourth straight game, an 8 to 1 job over the Indians at Cleveland. Reger (Doc) Cramer, who batted in four runs with a triple and three singles, led the 12-hit attack on three Cleveland pitchers. The White Sox. getting air tight pitching from Orval Grove and superb fielding from start to finish, blanked the browns, 4 to 0, at Chicago. Grove, winning his fifth game, gave up eight hits, but permitted only one batter to get to third. Johnny Dickshot, figuring in two rallies with a double and single, paced the attack. Emil (Dutch) Leonard of the Senators wasn't satisfied with pitching a four hit, 4 to 0 victory over the Yankees at Washington for his third shutout. He ateo led his team at bat with three hits, scoring one run and driving in two. It was his fifth victory against two defats. Bucky Walters, winning his third

straight game after getting off to one of the poorest starts in his career, pitched the Reds to a 3 to 0, six-hit victory at Pittsburgh.

Kentucky Derby Seen As Wide-Open Affair Louisville. Ky., June 7.—(UP) — The field for the Kentucky derby reached “the feel of the track stage” today with the owners of the probable starters still wondering just what their thoroughbreds can, do. For the wartime ban on racing to a large degree has prevented them from getting an accurate line on the horses which will run for the roses on Saturday. They are hoping their horses can go the derby distance of a mile and a quarter’ but for the most part they don’t know whether their horses have the staying power needed. The 17 or less which will face the barrier in the 71st annual renewal of the nation’s racing classic have been brought along on a stepped up 'training program which has not been long enough for any conclusive tests. The pre-derby previews were staged on a hurryup basis after the ban on racing was lifted so whether the accelerated training program will see the horses fit ic a matter of debate. Most of the trainers feel that their charges need more conditioning. The uncertainty of the horses’ condition bore out the predictions of most turf men that this third street-car derby would be a wide open affair with some of the outsiders being accorded as good a chance as those which have been

established as the chief contenders. Two horses each from the east and west were winning most of the pre-dreby support. The easterns, Hoop Jr., and Jeep, which won the two sections of the Wood Memorial at Jamacia last week, were gaining supporters on the basis of performances thus far. The westerners — Pot O' Luck and Burning Dream —won their way into the circle of favorites for the most part on sentiment. Jeep and Hoop Jr, have been tested more than most of the other probable starters and the 1:51-3-5 one and an eighth mile workout which the latter turned in yesterday dropped hie odds from 10 to six to one, Eddie Arcaro, who rode Hop Jr., to victory in the second section of the Wood, was scheduled to arrive late today and probably will put (he derby hopeful of Fred W. .Hooper, Florida contractor, through a light prep trial tomorrow. — o — Legion In Protest To Freeing Conchies Indianapolis, June 7 —(UP) — Vigorous opopsition to the release of some 900 conscientious objectors from camps in the United States this year has been made by the American Legion. A recent plan by selective service officials called for release of some of the 8,300 objectors now in 113 camps throughout the nation under a point system.
