Detroit, Braves Set Swift Pace at Start Johnny Wyatt, Tiger Rookie, Is Early Slab Sensation, With Three Wins; Vance, Schumacher, Si Johnson, Swetonic, Gray Turn In Low-Hit Shutouts. BY STUART CAMERON United Prei* Sport* Editor NEW YORK, April 27.—Major league baseball entered the third week oi the 1932 season today and already players and clubs have supplied a lusty quota of thrills, surprises and individual brilliance. The leading developments: 1. Excellent early play by Detroit Tigers, Boston Braves, Washington senators and Chicago Cubs. 2. Poor showings by St. Louis Cardinals, Philadelphia Athletics and New York Giants. 3. Airtight pitching. 4. Many player injuries.

The Braves, although they have been at or near the top ever since the season began, have caused no surprise, for Boston usually gets away to a grand start.

Lively Wallace-Slaughter Ring Scrap Is Called Even

Roy Wallace, Indianapolis, and Sammy (Kid) Slaughter, Terre Haute, threw a lot of gloves at the Armory Tuesday night and the Legion fight customers were well entertained. The feature attraction went the limit of ten rounds and with the exception of perhaps two rounds the maulers earned their money. Wallace weighed 166 and Slaughter, 161. The contest was declared even by the commission officials, but according to The Times score Slaughter was entitled to the verdict. The Terre Haute Negro made it a fight by setting the pace and he was the aggressor nearly the entire distance, especially in the closing sessions. Both scrappers scored with a number of stiff punches, with Slaughter ahead in the number of blows landed. Anyway, it was a red hot conflict that found Wallace in better shape than expected. Sammy Kid also was in fine physical condi-

Early winning performances by Tigers and Braves, as well as those of the Senatore and Cubs, have been based on dependable pitching and timely hitting, the combination that has made for winning baseball ever since the game was played. Indifferent Play Costly The preliminary weakness of Cards, A’s and Giants seems to have resulted not so much because of poor pitching or hitting but because of indifferent play. These clubs just haven’t “got going,” although the Giants are improving steadily. The ardent baseball fan has enjoyed his baseball news this spring for he likes nothing quite so much as great pitching performances. There have been lots of them. The outstanding pitcher thus far is Johnny Wyatt, Georgia boy who came to the big time by way of Beaumont, in the Texas league. Wyatt has won three games and lost none. He limited his opposition to four hits and one run in one of his victories. Vance, Rookie Shine Two-hit shutouts have been pitched by Dazzy Vance of Brooklyn and Harold Schumacher of the Giants. Three-hit shutouts are credited to Si Johnson of Cincinnati, Steve Swetonic of Pittsburgh and Sam Gray of the St. Louis Browns. Shutouts of four or five hits have been turned in by Weaver of Washington, Holley of the Phillies, Coffman of the Browns, Kolp of Cincinnati, Fischer of Washington, and Gray, who had one five-hitter in addition to his three-hit game. A pitching oddity was recorded by Jack Russell of the Red Sox who allowed ten hits in blanking the Senators. Many Stars Hurt Most of the important player injuries have occurred in the National League. The Cubs have been hit the hardest, losing Kiki Cuyler with a broken ankle, Stanley Hack and Woody English with broken fingers, and Hemsley with a hand injury. Art Shires of the Braves and Del Bissonette of the Dodgers may be fost for the season because of torn ligaments. Hack Wilson of the Dodgers sustained a knee injury. And Cincinnati’s Reds have missed Ernie Lombardi, Babe Herman, George Grantham and Leo Durocher, due to injuries.

tion and seldom let down for a breathing spell. Dave Shade, prominent California middleweight, was a spectator at the show. He will meet Ray Tramblie, winner over Slaughter, in the Legion’s main event next Tuesday. The battle drew a big house and stirred up noisy excitement from the outset. It was announced that Referee Cooley called the bout even with Billy Shine, a judge, voting 60-40 for Slaughter and the other judge, Claude Wollf, scoring 51-49 in favor of Wallace. Results of the other Tuesday scraps follow: Lou Vine, won by technical knockout over Harold Ferris, in the sixth round. They are lightweights. Paul Parmer was awarded the decision over Joe Lvnn. six rounds. Honeybov Brown took the verdict over Red Callahan, six rounds. It was a wild j struggle with both lads registering knock- ! downs. Brown gained the uoper hand in knockdowns. Wayne Murphy flattened Harold Niles in the first round of a scheduled four-round-er. Niles was knocked cold. Harlev Hauk and Soldier Szaimewski drew m four rounds of fast action and Jimmv Shannon won by technical knockout over Flovd Harmon in the fourth round.

Poor Sharkey! Bruise on Little Finger Worries Jack

BY HENRY M’LEMORE United Press Stiff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 27.—Madison Square Garden “turned on the heat” for the June 12 joust between Jack Sharkey and Max Schmeling today. The “heat,” or publicity, or ballyhoo, didn’t amount to much, being devoted almost entirely to photographing Sharkey’s classic profile as he wandered hither and yon over what is going to be the new Garden bowl, at Long Island. But, as Jimmy Johnston said, “We just started to ballyhoo this thing Monday, so you can’t expect us to hit our real stride in two days. When we get going full blast practically the whole nation will be Sharkey-Schmeling conscious in no time.” After posing in several scenes, Sharkey grabbed his coat and hat and ducked away from the proceed-

Allison Ousts Shields From Singles Berth on Cup Team

BY JACK CUDDY United Press Stiff Correspondent NEW YORK. April 27.—Members of the Davis Cup tennis selection committee feel. that there was nothing suprising or unusual in the last-minute substitution of Wilmer Allison for Francis X. Shields to represent the United States in the Orwell Cops British Race By United Press NEW MARKET. England, April 27.—Washington M. G. Singer’s Orwell, a favorite for the Epsom Derby, won the classic Two Thousand Guineas with ease today, making him the outstanding candidate for the 3-year-old championship of the year. Orwell, an even-money favorite in the betting, defeated the Aga Khan's Dastur by two lengths. Marcel Boussac’s Hesperus was third. King George was among the large crowd that witnessed the famous race, first run in 1872. Eleven 3-year-olds started in the mile race, with a value of approximately $30,000.

ings. He turned up later, minus the photographers, and Johnston, agreed to talk a little. He didn’t have much money. He has no idea of where he is going to train, but plans to make up his mind in a day or two. The matter of a training camp isn’t so important, however, for, to hear him tell it, Jack only needs about two weeks to get in shape for that “Dutchman.” The only thing bothering him is a bruised knuckle of the little finger on his left hand. “That bruise is the only thing that bothered me when I was in training for the Camera fight,” he said. “You remember, I wanted a postponement, but they insisted I go on. Well, I did, and I got a permanent injury for my trouble. It doesn’t hurt me,. but it’s liable to go on the bum the first time I land a solid blow.”

Tick On, Co-Favorite in Derby, Makes Debut as Three-Year-Old

Kaufman Star Held at 5 to 1 With Unbeaten Top Flight. By Times Special NEW YORK, April 27,-Tick On, Mrs. L. G. Kaufman's chrtf hope for the Kentucky Derby, was scheduled to make his debut as a 3-year-old today. He faced a field of several Derby candidates over the mile and seventy yards route in the fifth race at Havre de Grace. Today the Kaufman star shared favoritism with C. V. Whitney's unbeaten filly, Top Flight, for the fifty-eighth running of the Kentucky classic on May 7. at odds cf sto 1. Thomas J. Shaw, nationally known commissioner, announced the ; change in odds Tuesday. Shows Best Form With his stablemate, On Post, practically out of consideration as a possible starter in the Derby, Tick On attracted new support in the Futures speculation by working a mile in 1:383-5 at Havre De Grace Monday, the fastest move for the distance of any of the Derby eligibles thus far. Top Flight, whose unbroken record of seven victories last year placed her in the coveted position of favorite at the start of Derby speculation, is taking kindly to her work out at Belmont park, and is scheduled €o start in the Wood ’Memorial at Jamaica on Saturday. Barring accident, she will leave for the Derby scene immediately after that mile and seventy-yard test. The Shandon farm’s Burning Blaze has been cut two points, now being 6 to 1, and attracting plenty of attention. Next in line are Liberty Limited, from the Three D’s stock farm; E. R. Bradley’s Burgoo King, and the Northway stable’s Gallant Sir, each of which are now 20 to 1. Twenty May Start Mrs. John Hay Whitney’s Stepenfetchit has been cut to 25 to 1, while the Greentree stable's Curacao, regarded as best of that establishment’s eligibles, is 30 to 1, along with Brother Joe, a stablemate of Burgoo King. Odds of 40 to 1 may be had against Universe, Economic, Faireno and Overtime, while 50 to 1 is the figure on Cathop, Big Beau and Indian Runner. Old Master, which Earl Sande rode to victory at Jamaica on Monday, is considered a possibility at 60 to 1, as are Delivered and Cold Check. Shaw believes that the Derby field will be drawn from the twenty eligibles named above, the balance of the 115 nominees having been tried and found wanting in early spring racing. Durant Gets Hartz’ Car ■ Another veteran is returning to the Indianapolis speedway for a shot at victory in the 500-mile brick classic on May 30. It is Cliff Durant, wealthy sportsman, who was nominated Tuesday by Harry Hartz, to pilot one of two cars the former pilot has entered in the 1932 speed event. Billy Arnold, 1930, will pilot the other Hartz car. Durant is claimed to have spent nearly $500,000 in seeking triumph for his colors in the local grind. In 1923 he entered a five-car team with some of the greatest drivers piloting his creations, but the best he could do was a second. Hartz, Jimmy Murphy, Frank Elliott, Eddie Hearne and Durant composed the team. Five Bulldogs Enter Relays Five members of Butler's track squad, accompanied by Coach Herman Phillips, left today for Des Moines, la., where they will compete in the Drake relays Friday and Saturday. Burns. Allen, Bradford and Kealing were named on the Bulldog relay squad to compete, and Bert Nilson will seek another triumph in the high jump, in which he is the favorite. Burns and Allen also are entered in the sprint events. The remainder of the Bulldog cinder squad, in charge of Frank Heddon, assistant coach, will meet Ball State at the Fairview oval Saturday. STATE RAPS DANVILLE By Times Special DANVILLE, Ind.. April 27.—Scoring ten runs in the three final innings, featured by Kitchen’s home run in the seventh, Indiana State Teachers nine defeated Danville here Tuesday, 12 fb 2. Two other scheduled state college games, Butler at Wabash and Ball State at De Pauw, were postponed due to rain and cold. The De Pauw fray was rescheduled for today. DELIVERED IS READY By United Press LOUISVILLE, Ky„ April 26. Miserable track conditions again prevailed at Churchill Downs Tuesday and there was little work on the part of the Kentucky Derby eligibles. Delivered, W. F. Knebelkamp’s big gelding, worked three-quarters of a mile in 1:19 3-5, and galloped out an additional eighth under double wraps in 1:36. His injured heel has apparently healed. TECH NINE TRIUMPHS Numerous walks and errors helped Tech diamond pastimers to a 17 to 8 triumph over Masonic Home of Franklin Tuesday. Winnefeld performed on the victors’ mound and I was batted freely. THREE TILTS CANCELLED By United Press ST.

Ruffing Hurls Yanks Into Second With Win Over Nats

By United Press NEW YORK, April 27.—Pitching performances, which have figured so prominently in baseball news in the first two weeks of the major league season, still command the spotlight. Charlie Ruffing came forward for the New York Yankees Tuesday to save the game, 6 to 5, after Walter Johnson’s Senators had blasted dependable Herb Pennock from the mound in the eighth inning. Ruffing took the slab with the bases full and none out and allowed but one run. Washington’s two-run rally in the eighth tied the score at 5-all, as the Yanks came to bat. Then Marberry walked Larry. Babe Ruth’s line single to right sent Larry around to third, and Lary scored the winning run on Gehrig’s single. Ruffing held Washington scoreless in the ninth, fanning Manush and

For the first five innings, the Red Sox couldn’t get a hit off Grove. But he weakened in the sixth, and they bunched five of their ten hits for six runs. They made another run in the eighth off Rommel and three in the ninth when Earl Webb helped with a homer with one man on base. Eddie Durham held the A's to five hits. It was Philadelphia’s sixth defeat in seven games. Rain and cold postponed other scheduled contests in both leagues.

Tribesmen Leave for Long Tour League- Leaders Speed to Milwaukee for Brewer 1932 Opener, BY EDDIE ASH Leaving Indianapolis today, the league-leading Indians will land in Milwaukee tonight, participate in the annual baseball celebration there, and on Thursday help the Brewers lift the lid on the new season in the Cream City. The Milwaukee rooters are of the old-fash-ioned type and never let a spring pass without giving the Brewer pastimers a rousing welcome on the night before the opener at Borchert field. Barring bad weather, Milwaukee club officials believe attendance there Thursday will be more than 10,000. Pilot Emmet McCann of the Tribesmen has his Hoosiers in fine shape for the long road trip and all the athletes are eager to play bang-up baseball in enemy camps and retain first place. Visit Seven Camps The Indians will visit seven cities and engage in twenty-three games before returning to Perry stadium on May 22. The series at Milwaukee calls for three tilts and the Indians will have to show some speed making train coviections early Saturday evening for the tiresome jump from Brewertown to Kansas City. From Kansas City the Tribe w r ill jump up to the Twin Cities, St. Paul and Minneapolis and then hop all the way to Louisville. Following the Louisville visit the club will go to Columbus and Toledo and then back to Indianapolis. Third Postponement The Indians and Brewers were held idle here Tuesday by cold weather and wet grounds and it was the third postponement for the locals, others being with St. Paul and Kansas City. However, while the Tribesmen were packing up Tuesday the second-place K. C. Blues lost to the Colonels at Louisville and the men of McCann left here today holding a lead of a game and a half. Os the teams that have been on the road. Kansas City and Minneapolis turned in excellent records, the Kaws winning seven out of eleven and the Millers eight out of fourteen. The record of Ownie Bush’s Millers was especially impressive owing to the fact that the team finished sixth last year and Bush is taking the boys home in third place. Two Favorites Falter Failure of the St. Paul and Columbus clubs to live up to advance notices in the early games constituted the upset of the A. A. dope. Owner Norman Perry and Jack Hendricks, business manager, accompanied the club to Milwaukee and Hendricks will make the entire swing. Secretary Walter Riley also went out with the boys for the long tour. T. J. Hickey, American Association president, will attend the Milwaukee opener Thursday. Workmen at Perry stadium Tuesday experienced a breezy time up on the rigging of the night lighting towers hanging out additional lamps to increase the power. Fifty-four huge new lamps were distributed among the several towers and everything will be in readiness for the night games when the Indians come in off the road. The fifty-four lamps are in addition to the total used at old Washington park last summer and Owner Norman Perry believes he will have the best lighted park in the country this year.
