By Eddie As!n Toledo Mud Hens Are Up and Coming m m m Decision on Polo Series Postponed m m m Sports Sidelights Discussed at Random

T HE Toledo Mud Hens are showing a lot of power during spring training and there is every reason to suspect that Manager O’Neill is scheming to horn in on the first division. His team has been knocking ’em dead in the south and his infield is going over in sensational style, with Sweeney on first, Turgeon at second, Detore at third and Kddie Montague, former Indian, holding down the short field. The Hens are being helped by the Cleveland Indians and feel sure of landing additional talent. They bowled over Knoxville five in a row and cut loose with some mighty swatting. The outfield at present Is made up of Frank Doljack. Trotsky and West. Galatzer also is available and another gardener is promised from Cleveland. Butch Henline and Manager Steve O'Neill are doing the catching and the mound staff will be bolstered later with assistance from Cleveland. Toledo finished fourth last year after floundering in the second division most of the season. The team was a smooth machine in the closing weeks. Some high class talent was taken up by Cleveland, but some of the recalled athletes have been returned. Steve O'Neill places a high estimate on his new outfielder, Frank Doljack. obtained from Detroit, and predicts the fly chaser will be one of the top flight outfielders in the league. Doljack is Slovenian. His brother Joe, a pitcher, also is on the Toledo roster. a a a ana BENEFIT ROLLER TILTS ANNOUNCED THREE games in the local amateur roller polo league will be played Sunday afternoon a) Tomlinson hall, starting at 1:30. the entire receipts going for the benefits of Earl Hutton and Roy Jennings, who were Injured while playing in the amateur loop this season. Music will be supplied by the Riverside skating rink band. The feature will be a meeting between the Riverside Rink team and the Rolles Printing Company five, two clubs that have fought hard all season for the league leadership. The Stuck Coal Company team will meet the Court House quintet in another game, while the Union Printers will take on the City Hall club in the third game. Admission will be 25 cents to any seat. The professional series between Indianapolis, Richmond and a team of New England League veterans still is being discussed, but there will be nothing definite announced on the arrangements until Sunday. Indianapols is willing to accept the New England offer, but Richmond has postponed its answer Polo officials met in Richmond Wednesday night without reaching an agreement. The New England roller pastimers want to barnstorm in Indiana and engage in five games. a a a a a r CINCY PILOT TAKES HOME TREATMENT BUSH, manager of the Cincy Reds, decided he would recover more rapidly at his Indianapolis home and he was propped up out on Wolcott street Wednesday. He planned to return to Cincinnati today. He has not seen his ball club since last Friday when he tore out of Florida with a bad foot and went to the Queen City for special treatment. The Cincy pastimers will roll into their home base Friday and Bush will be there to greet the boys. Some of Bush's rookies and George Grantham, second baseman, are on the hospital list. Grantham is ill and the rookie players got bruised up in an auto accident that wrecked the car of Sidney Weil, club president. The boys collided with a parked truck during a rainstorm. Si Johnson, righthander, one of the leading candidates to pitch the opening game for Cincinnati against the Pirates, was injured Wednesday, but it is said he will be ready if called for the mound assignment on April 12. A line drive from the bludgeon of Chick Hafey struck Johnson on the thigh and crippled him for the day. He was pitching in batting practice. a a a it it it TWO KIDS’ WERE CLOSE IN FIRST BOUT. THE matching of Rosy Kid Baker of Anderson and Sammy Kid Slaughter, Terre Haute Negro, who is Indiana state middleweight champion, comes as the culmination of months of effort on the part of several promoters. They will battle at the Armory here next Tuesday night and it will be their second meeting. Their first clash, at Terre Haute about a year ago. ended In Slaughter gaining a hairline decision that started plenty of arguments. The referee and one of the judges gave their votes to Slaughter by the narrow margin of 51 to 49 on their score cards, while the other judge marked it down as a draw. a a a a a it BEN CHAPMAN, flashy ba.se pilferer with the Yankees, says Walter Lefty Stewart is the hardest pitcher to steal on of the southpaws in the American League and Milt Gaston the toughest of the righthanders. Rick Ferrell makes the best throw' of the catchers to second. Chapman avers. Babe Ruth declares Earl Whitehill, lefthander, gives him the most trouble in the business of manufacturing base hits. ana ana FRANK O’ROURKE, pilot of the Milwaukee Brewers, announces he will serve in the capacity of utility infielder after the A. A. clubs cut to eighteen men. Stanton. Connolly, Koehler and Grimes will form his j regular innerworks. Jackie Tavener, veteran shortstop, seems to be tagged to lose out. The Milwaukee regular outfield will be made up of Fisher, Bottrncourt and Metzler, with Christensen, Hoffman and Kubek fighting it out for the reserve fly chasing job. a a a a a a Columbus took three in a row on the chin at the hands of the Rochester Internationals and Pi-exy McPhail is “singing” already, and the new manager, Ray Blades, is fuming. Several roster changes are contemplated even before the regular season begins. a a a a a a The Indians’ two exhibition games with St. Paul at Perry stadium Saturday and Sunday will start at 2:30. Tne Tribesmen will land in town from the south at 10:30 p m. Friday. The season's opener on Tuesday with Milwaukee will begin at 3 p. m. a a a a a a Charlie Dressen, formerly in the American Association, is manager of Nashville of the Southern Association. During batting practice in the Vols’ park one day last week Dressen walked up to one of the rookies and said: “You hit. well. How do you field?” "Oh, I never felt better in my life." the green youngster replied. Charlie hurried to the dressing room before he doubled up. a a a a a a Ray Hayworth. Detroit catcher, went through many consecutive games last season without making a miscue. In the first Tiger training camp game thus spring he made two misplays in the first inning. Well, it will relieve a mental load, anyway.

Derby Hope Sold for $1,200 Earns $13,515 as Juvenile

Following Is the third article of a series discussing the records of the leading candidates in the Kentucky Derby. BY THOMAS H. NOONE United Tress Racing Editor NEW YORK. April 6.—Repaid, a handsome chestnut son of KaiSang and Granny that the Quincy stable of James F. Johnson picked up for $1,200 as a yearling at the dispersal sale of the Rancocas stable, looms prominently on the horizon for the fifty-ninth running of the Kentucky Derby. His odds in the winter books were shortened Wednesday from 20 to 1 to 15 to 1 as the result of several large wagers being placed on him. Although Repaid won only three of his eleven races as a juvenile in 1932, he also finished second on one occasion and was twice third to earn a total of $13,515 —more than ten times his purchase price. Improving with every start, this sturdy colt swept the Junior Champion stakes at Aqueduct in such impressive style that he was sent to the post favorite for the rich Pimlico Futurity in November. Badly cut while at the post for the Futurity, Repaid ran a game race to finish third, beaten only a length and a half for all the money. Pete Walls, his jockey, refused to punish a game but distressed colt during the running, or the result of the Futurity might have been a different story. After his good effort in the Maryland classic, Repaid was put up for the winter,- and his injuries healed rapidly and completely. Under the careful care of trainer Eddie Phelan the colt has taken on over 200 pounds over the winter and is as fit as hands can make him at present. The history of Repaid is an interesting one. Holding a grudge against
