Feller Hurls 10th I Hitter To Beal Sox New York, May 3. (I’P) Once again today wherever baneball wan discussed all over th's broad land they were raining the name of plough boy llobhv Feller an the greatest pitcher of them all. There were arguments, to be sure The graybeardd* talked reverently of t'y Young. Christy Mathewson, flitbe Waddell, and Walter Johnson. The fans of the past generation put in their plugs for Mfty Bob Grove. Dizzy Dean, and Carl Hubbell. But it was fireball Robby who dominated the conversations. Fireball Robby of the Cleveland Indians. who pitched the 10th onehit hall game of his career against the once fearsome Boston Bed Box yesterday, his second of the season and his third straight shutout Feller, who has allowed but one earned run in four games this season. emerged from the 2 to ff victory with a record of 29 consecutive scoreless innings and five hits yielded in his last three assign ments. lie was at his brilliant best in the cold gray day at Cleveland's Municipal stadium and had It not been for a first inning single by Johnny Pesky, he might have emerged instead with the third nohitter of his career. In his last two victories he bea-t the only other pitchers in the American league who are mentioned in the same breath with him. Yesterday he topped Boston's great right hander. Dave (Boot Ferriss. a 25-game winner last season, and in his previous start last Saturday he defeated the star Detroit lefty. Hal Newhoiiser. a 26game winner in 1946. He gave up six walks to the Bed Sox. but compensated for that by fanning 10. equalling his high In that department for the year, although bis total for the year of 30 puts him slightly behind his all-time record pace of 347 for last season when he broke Wadell's 1904 mark of 343. Feller got all the hitting support he needed in the second inning when Joe Gordon smashed a horn er and the Indians wound up their scoring in the fifth with a run on successive singles by manager Lou Boudreau. Les Fleming, and fat Pat Seerey. The Yankees moved into first place at Chicago, overtaking the White Sox with a 5 to 2 victory, rookie Frank Shea's first as a big leaguer. Shea scattered seven hits and was ably tracked at bat by veteran George McQuinn who drove in two runs and got three • hits. Pat Mullin led the Tigers to a 3 to .! victory over the Athletics at Detroit with two homers and a single as Freddie Hutchinson pitched a seven-hitter for his third victory. The defeat snapped a three game Philadelphia winning

Muddy Track Causes Change In Derby Dels Louisville, Ky . May 3—(VP) - Prospect s of « muddy track changed the picture for the 73rd annual running of the Kentucky Derby today with two long-shots surprises gaining support in the field of 14 entered in America's number one horse race. Born on what may bo called the ' wrong side of racing's railroad tracks. Murlogg Farm's Balheim and W. M. Peavey's Jett Jett lost some of their obscurity in the anticipation of the gooey going. They were entered solely in the hope that the Churchill Downs track would be muddy, a condition which took some of the lustre off the pre-race favorites Phalanx und Faultless. Gaining stature along with those long chance mudders was Maine Chance farm's Jet Pilot, who has shown a distinct liking for an off track. A six-to-one shot in the overnight line which was based on a fast track. Jet Pilot may possibly go to the post the public pick of 110,000, taking over the spot which Phalanx has held ever since be won the Wood Memorial on April 19. The C. V. Whitney thoroughbred still was 2 to I in the early line an I there were those who felt that I the ''off” strip could not hurt his chances But that situation was different as far as Faultless was < oncerned. Second choice at 3 to 1. the Calumet farm's hopeful does not like heavy going and even trainer Ben Jones was shaking his head ruefully. He had hope to win—and still does for that matter but he knew that Faultless was an unknown quantity on a muddy truck. "I figure we have a good chance If the track Is fast,” Plain Ben said "Otherwise, well anything can happen." Originally. Balheim and Jett Jett were listed as 50 to 1 shots the rank outsiders in the field in the run for-the-rosex which, if till 14 go. will be worth (93,160 to the winner. In addition to the flowers. It wasn't until Thursday that | Jett Jett became a possibility. And it wasn't until a half an hour before the entries closed yesterday that Ballieitn came into the derby picture. Their owners read-' ily admitted that they entered them only in the hope that the track would remain muddy and It looked like their prayers were going to he fulfilled. Although the forecast for today -was for fair and warmer, and the Churchill Downs track is the type that dries out quickly, there appeared little chance that the mile and-a-quarter pathway to gold and glory could change materially. That left this running of the derby wide open and it was considered anyltody’s race. Out there with Phalanx. Faultless, Jet Pilot, Jett Jett and Balheim, w!7! be Star Reward, Lib erty Road. On Trust, Stepfather. W. L. Sickle, Double Jay, Riskolater. Bullet Proof and Cosmic Bomh—the latter the winter book favorite who has failed to live up to the promise he showed as a 198.00 ft winning two-year-old. A lot of derhy history could be set today and if it is a crowd of about 110,000 will see it. Eddie

Arcaro, up on Phalanx, is shooting for his fourth derby victory and that would be a new record for triumphs in this classic. As things stand now, the banananosed Kentucky-born jockey is tied with Earl Sande and Isaac Murphy at three. Ben Jones also could set a record for if Faultless wins it will be the fourth horse which ho has saddled to wind up with the blanket of roses. But records in this race are not important. It all comes down to which horse can run the fastest. The betting was that Phalanx can ---and will—but Balheim, which Calumet farm sold for a song because he looked like anything but a race horse. Jett Jett and Jet Pilot also moveo up Into the front ranks of those who might triumph. The sports world will get the answer at 4:45 p. tn. (Central Standard time). o Broadcasts Ridiculed By Soviet Magazine Moscow. May 3.—(l’P) The Soviet humor magazine Crocodile published a cartoon today showing shoppers in a store buying radios shaped like .ducks. The caption was. “the radio department offers to those who like transocean broadcasts the patented canard radio receiving set for listening to the broadcasts of the voice of America.” (Canard Is the French word for duck. In English canard means “an extravagant or ohsurd report or story s«-t afloat to de hide the public.") —- o Floor Finish An ideal floor finish is one that is non-porous, smooth, hard enough to resist dirt brought in by coarse work shoes and which remains attractive for several years under normal wear and care. An ideal finish protects the floor from dirt, moisture and discoloration.
