The pre-slump Nicholson was pood enough to make that much difference to a teim. He came to the Cubs in 1939 and batted just under .301) in 1940 and 1942. In 1943 he led the National league in homers with 29 and in runs batted in with 128 while hitting .309. The next year he again led in homers 33-in<l runs butted in 122 Then something went wrong. He couldn't meet tlie bull squarly and was getting weak pop-ups instead of solid blasts into the stands He hit 243 in 1945 and .220 last year. Frantic, he tried iny change in stance or batting method that was suggested. There was no miraculous cure, but this spring he began to hit better in training. Facing the pitching stars of the Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Pirates in his five games so far this season, he Is hitting only 222. hut he has eight runs batted in.

There were several reasons why the master craftsman of the little guy* in silk was so optimistic. First, Phalanx romped in handily in the toughfMt section of the mile and sixteenth test. And he did it the hard way. after trailing seventh at the quarter-mlle pole. Then, too, despite the troulde he faced us he moved around the pack, the C. V. Whitney charger loured under the wire a length and u half <>n top in 1:43-4/5 That's the second fastest Wood since they've been running it over that piece of ground — and only fourfiftlw of a second off the Great Count Fleet's record. Bark in his dust as he galloped home free came six other derby hopefuls. .And Just in case you don't think Arcaro might have reckoned with the candidatea in the other half of the Wood Memorial, remember he won that section too with a aince-srratched derbylte named I Will.

No off the performances of the 18 derby hopeful* in the Wood, there wasn't apparently anylmdy in sight in the east who could give him a battle. And as far a* Arcaro was concerned, it was almut time he moved in againEddie finst scored in the rose run back in 1938 with Lawrin and added hi* second triumph aboard Whirlaway In 1941.
