Volunteer Coaches Needed To Retain Junior Legion Team Fears" were expressed today that Adams Post 43, American Legion, will have to abandon its junior baseball program this summer, a project which the local Legion post has sponsored for many years. To officials have been unajjle to find volunteers to assume’fhanagement and coaching duties for the team. It is feared that if the Legion program is t bandoned, efforts to revive it in future years would be difficult. Legion Officials expressed hope that volunteers to handle the team may be found, as the start of Little League and Pony League baseball in the city should provide an excellent feeder system for Junior Legion baseball, as the next age step. Any persons willing to assist in a Junior Region team are asked to contact Floyd Hunter. Legion chairman, or Pete - Reynolds at the Decatur Daily Democrat. Deadline for team registration is Saturday, May 8. MAJOR National League — W L Pct. G.B.

Louisville Is All Ready For 1 Derby Saturday ; LOUISVILLE, Ky. UP — They cleaned up the town last week and 1 hung up the decorations over the i weekend, and Louisville today was ready for the annual Kentucky I Derby throng? If business is as good as last year, around 100,000 derby fans will push some four million dollars ( through the mutuel windows at j Churchill Downs Saturday. It’s no wonder that an official ( of the track said recently “Chur- , chill -Downs is essentially a oneday operation" — Kentucky Derby ] day. Police intend to see that the betting during the week is con- : fined to the tracks They have in- i structions to seek out illegal gambling and to put a stop to it immediately. Police also have been ordered to keep known gamblers away from hotels and bars during the racing meet. Last year an estimated $105,000 persons who flipped the turnstiles at Churchill Dowms on derby day bet $4,306,065, and on the day before the derby wagered $1,700,000. This amounted to almost onefourth of the total bet at the-track-duHng all of 1953. Derby-day betting in 1953 came within $887,971 of equaling the total bet both on the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes on the day of those two famous races. It’s a big-day, and Downs officials get for it in a bigway.' ’ They spend an estimated $225,000 annually keeping the six-million-dollar. racing plant in shape primarily for the one big race. Improvements since last year include a $60,000 paint job, a rock garden in the infield, 400 new boxes, a new dining room with a track view, and a new elevatorfor the press. All this for what actually amounts to a two-minute affair. But, then, where can you find a, ■ hofse race quite like the Kentucky I Derby?

Teams In Both Major Leagues Closely Bunched: By UNITED PRESS , Teams in both major leagues to- i day were more closely bunched at | this first east-west stage of the race than at any time since 1947 in the American League and 1945 in the National. Although it is much too early for any real re-evaluation of the pennant races, the play in the first two weeks could be a portent of pld-fashtoned wide-open stretch battles, which would be a pleasant contrast to last season’s runaways by the Dodgers and Yankees. As play resumed today with Brooklyn at St. Louis, New York at Milwaukee, and Pittsburgh at Cincinnati in National League night games and Philadelphia at Chicago in a day game, the Dodgers were Just barely on top in the National with a 7-4 won and lost figure and Cincinnati in second a half-game behind at 7-5. Not since 1945 when wartime, baseball was in effect, had National League teams been similarly bunched. In that year at the corresponding time,' the (Hants arid Cub.-, who eventually won the flag, were tied for first place with 7-4 marks. It was much the same in the American League where the White Sox were at New York and Cleveland at Boston in day games and Detroit at Philadelphia and Baltimore; a western team, at Washington in night games. The White column, were in first place, half a game “in front of Washington and Detroit, tied for sepond at 6-4. Not since the first east-west competition in 1947 had there been an A- L. leader with such a low percentage at this stage. That year the Yankees were on top with 7-4 and Cleveland was-next at 5-4. In the ffWt two weeks, the White’ Sox after a slow start have asserted themselves as possible strong challengers to break up the Yankee monopoly and they will mee' the five-time world champs in the season's first “crucial series” iaday,. The Tigers,, wlro were picked by most experts to finish seventh t>r eighth, have teen the’ big surprise although they are expected to level off. Washington could be a genuine darkhorse. Hire.at Alhletlcs seem stronger than excepted with good rbokjgs arid, a manager, Eddie Joost, who is getting a lot -of mileage odt of his crew. Brooklyn is on top in the Na- ! tional perhaps because the early ■ scheduled has matched the Dodgers five times with Pittsburgh. The Pirates, who are not the weaklings’ of las, year, lost four out of five to the .Brooks, but rare;! up and beat the Giants, three out of four. The Glanis, in tuin, rose from those defeats to shut out the Phillies three straight tiroes. That’s the, kind of a lias been . —- up to now. Cincinnati could be the darkhorse contender in the National, while the Cubs, who have been hitting heavily, are ihe prise.
