Giants Hand Cards Sixth Loss In Row New York, April 3" HP) They've been laughing at the Giant*. they nay there are time* they look like the Princeton varsity in' - their bright new orang* and black trlnnned uniforms. Their outfielder* throw to the wrong base*, their pitcher* have blown fat lead* in the late Innina*, they have made Ift errors in 1" game* to top both league*, and there are almost dally lineup shift* a* manager Mel Ott trie* desperately to find a winning combination. But in the big town their* 1* the most loyal legion of rooter* and the most patient. They remind you that the last time that the Giant* went for orange and black trim on their suits they not only won the 1933 pennant bitt i the world series from Washing ton. And they'll never let you forget that the Giant* year in and year out are the most terrific homerun ciouters in the National league. Today, after a dismal start, there was a ray <»f hope and it was mainly because of the mighty hitter. Georgia Johnny Mize. It was the hulking Mize, whose name rhymes appropriately with size, who set the pace yesterday in a morale-boosting. 7 to 2 victory over the world champion Cantina I*, a victory that elevated the Giants io seventh and left St Louis alone in the unfamiliar surroundings of last place. Mize got only one hit. but it was a prodigious 460-foot three run homer off Howie Pollet, lefty ace of the Cardinal staff and a 21game winner last season, it was his seventh homer in 10 games. It was the third defeat without a win for Pollet. who was knocked out by Mize's smash, leaving the game with a 5 to o deficit. The Giants made 12 hits as young Montia Kennedy scattered seven for his first triumph. The defeat end cd a five game Giant losing streak and extended the Cardinal losing string to six. At Ebbets field, the Durocher)e*s Dodgers won their sixth straight. Io to 6 over the second "place Cubs and took a two-gam* i first place lead The Cubs lost I after four straight victories.

Chicago White Sox Seeking Catcher 11 Chicago, April 30. tl'Pl Mana 1 ger Ted Lyon* of the Chicago White Sox wit* shopping for a , big league- catcher today, but he had no idea where he could find one, "There's just nobody available that we ran use," he said, “and I don't have a single man in mind " Catching was Lyons' chief Worry, even during spring training. and the problem was aggravated Saturday when Mike Tresh. the firm string receiver, sprained an ankle at St. Louis. "Anytime you lose a guy Ilk*Tresh." Lyon* said, “it doesn't help your club a bit. I .lope we can hold up with George Dickey working until Tresh get* hack, but I'm still shopping around.’’ The genial Lyons was pleased with Dickey's work in his first two games Sunday. when he slashed out four hits in eight trips to the plate. He also believed that the second stringer would improve behind the plate with experience. "His hitting helps a lot." Lyon* said, "but he needs to get the feel of catching again and then I think he'll be all right. He caught just a few games last year and lie needs experience back there." I'ntil he was injured Tresh started every game for the Sox. and hi* catching was as superb as his hitting was awful. He fail ed to collect a single hit in his first twenty trips to the plate and Saturday he netted a one baser for his first safe blow. The next ■ time up he* walked and was hurt sliding into third base. Lyons admitted he was stumped in trying to find a catching | replacement. • "We don't have anybody on our farm clubs who can help us. Most of our fellows are just ready for double-A ball at best, and It will be a couple of years before they'll be ready for the big leagues. “We'll just have to make out with Dickey and Joe Stephenson until Tresh get* back." Stephenson was the- third man on the Sox catchers' list during spring training He was cut loose by the northside Cubs before they I opened practice, and the Sox signed him in California. So far he hasn't appeared in a Sox game, although Lyons indicated he might be used in the near future to relieve Dic key. Tresh was expected to be out for about a month. "I saw him today.” byons said. ! "and he's coming along as well | as you can expect. But it'll be- a long time, for it* anyhow, before he gets back.” _____________________ to it and the boy* from !» to 16. Police made the arrest* after railroad officials complained .that trainmen had to duck or lay flat on the foor of locomotives and ca-boosc-s to escape injury. o Trade In a Good fo./t* - riecatur FREE DELIVERY on your favorite brand of BEER Phone 174 — RIVER V I E W GARDENS ItoF That Leaky Radiator ALL POPULAR STOP LEAK SOLUTIONS AT REASONABLE PRICES.

Phalanx Is Still Favored In Derby Louisville. Ky.. April 30 -(I Pl All the pre-runs are over, but to the people who are supposed to know th** turf best it still wax Phalanx today when talking got , around Io the probable winner of the Kentucky Derby Saturday. De-pite the fact that Calumet I Farm's Faultless haw done everything asked of him in these warming up races, (’. V. Whitney's winner of the Wood Memorial still ranked an a 2 to I favorite in pre d*-rby odd. with Faultless the secund choice at 3 to 1. Even Ben Jones, the veteran trainer who is shooting for hi* fouitb derby winner, was wondering why they still couldn't see Fault les,* as the three year-old who will wind up with the blanket of - roses shortly after 6:45 p in- (t.'DT) Saturday. ; For he sent him out in th* Blue , Grass stakes at Keeneland last I Thursday one of the major prep race* for the derby and he won it by a neck from faat-closing Biskolater. Then he came back with Faultless in the derby trial yesterday and he won by another neck from Star Reward- But it wasn't Faultless' victories so much a* it was the way those second place horses in the lllua Grass and trial finished that promised to Increase the Calumet hopeful's derby odds. For like RUkoiater, in the Blue | Grass, Star Reward, a sort of an added starter in the early derby reckoning, was going like the wind when the finish line wa* reached And in as much as both prep events were shorter than the deihy distance. those driving finishes boosted ihe stock of both Rickolater and 1 Star Beward. k | Derby trial winners never went 'on to win a derby, wherea* the Blue Grass and the Wood Memorial iias. So if Faultless zhould come ; through, he would lx- th" first three- j year-old to win both the trial and . the derby. Going down the line ini racing tradition, it would make him the third horse ever to win the Blue Grass and the derby — Bubbling Over and Shutout having acIcempiished that feat before.
