He was the best left handed pitcher in baseball last season and after a bit of a late start, it began to look today as if he was ready to go out and defend his honors.

Only three men got to first, one on an error, and two of these went down stealing. He yielded no hits until the fifth when Dick Sisler singled, and after he was lagged for another single by Blix Donnelly in the sixth, he retired the I next 13 batters in order. He also was helpful at the plate, bea'ing out a bunt and dropping another for a sacrifice which ad-1 vanced two men in the 13-hit Bost ' on attack. Bill Salkeld led the hitting with a triple and two singles, driving in two rune with his threebagger in lhe Braves' five run fifth. The Buffalo southpaw wasn't the only lef'y who had a good day yesterday Johnny Vandermeer. the old double no-hlt hero of the. Reds had one of his occasional good day and topped the Cubs. 8 to 1 at Cincinnati. It was a bitter victory for the Reds, however, because their iron man catcher. Ray Mueller, suffered a fra< tured right ankle, sliding In to score in the fifth Mueller earned his iron man title when he eel an all-time mapor league record of catching 217 straight games in 1943 and 1941. handling all 155 games tor the Reds in the la'ter year. He will lie lost to the lub for at least 6o days. Virgil Stallcup led the 12-hit Cininnati attack, driving in three runs with a two bagger and two singles The Tigers ended their five game losing streak at St Louis, defeating the Browns. 9 to I with a 15-hlt attack that included a homer, double, and single by pace-setter Pat Mullin.

Coaltown Threatens Citation In Derby Louisville, Ky. April 29 —(VPI A stable mate came up today to challenge the hottest betting fav- ’ orite a Kentucky derby has ever had. 1 All spring there hasn't been anything around that looked like a challenge to Calumet’s star three- ' year-old Citation and the betting situation became such that a lot of bookmakers took the bag colt off the wagering Hats. But there were indications today ' that the situation may change before 5:30 p m. COT Saturday -post ' time for the 74th annual running ! of the derby because of another Calumet speedster. Coaltown. Coaltown, who never ran as a i two year old because of a breathing ailment, has been picking up j support gradually since his recordj breaking win in the blue grass stakes at Keeneland last Friday. ' It still was mushrooming today because of a sensational early morning workout yesterday. It was turn a goon one that even ; Ben Jones, who will be listed in I the derby records as the trainer of both the calumet stars, wavered a little In what otherwise has been his firm belief that there 1 Isn’t a three year old in the country that belongs on the same track with Citation. Plain Ben still thinks Citation will get the blanket of roses Saturday. hut now he feels that he will have a battle to do It. ”1 never thought there was anything that could catch Cltatlon.'but after what Coaltown did yesterday. I'tn beginning to believe that he might be able to do It." Coaltown, with his derby Jockey. Newbold Pierson up. went six furlongs In 1:12 2 5 and pulled up at a mile in 1:41. "The track was very deep.” Jones explained. "So his time of .1:12 2/5 was like 1:10 2/5 sny . place else. Louisville bookmakers took the hint and were laying 55 af'ast a bettors |6 that the Calumet entry would run onetwo. 0 Pleasant Mills Alumni Banquet On Saturday The 30th annual banquet of the alumni of the Pleasant Milla high school will be held at the school Saturday evening.
