''JpilE Columbus Red Birds, American Association pennant winners last year and “little world series champions,” don’t look so hot this season. However, they are depending Louis Cardinal “chain store” to deliver the needed talent, and the Birds think the necessary strength will be lorthcoming. But how about Rochester, another St. Louis farm? The International Red Wings also are crying for assistance and it’s the belief of this writer that the Red Wings will receive the Cardinal favors this year owing to the fact that Columbus was given the better of the “chain store assignments in 1933. The Birds, who are scheduled to battle the Indians at Perry stadium today and tomorrow, have three former Indians on their roster, Johnny Hodapp, infielder > Tom Angley, catcher, and Bud Teachout, pitcher. Hodapp and Teachout brought good money to the Indians when they were sold to the majors, especially Hodapp, who was picked off the Cincinnati sandlots and developed into a prize sale. Cleveland paid heavy coin and also a load of players, and Teachout was sold to the Chicago Cubs. mmm • * * 'T'HE weather is giving the Indians and the Birds a hard ride. The series opener here yesterday was rained out and when the Hoosiers were in Columbus recently the teams were held idle two days by snow and rain Moreover. Sunday was ruined as a moneymaker when ram fell all morning and during the early part of the afternoon. Columbus club officiate made preparations to handle a crowd of ten thousand and the cold and wet dav held nine thousand away and around the fireside. The Birds will play the Indians here today and tomorrow and then return home while the Tribesmen go to Louisville.

Bottomley’s Homer Nips Winning Streak of Cubs; Phillies Whip Giants, 3-2 Chuck Klein Gets Fourth Four-Bagger in Game With Reds; Detroit Recaptures Lead in American League, Defeating White Sox. By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Apil 27.—Just when they were approaching modern records for consecutive games won and lost at the start of the season, the Cubs and Phillies broke their strings of victories and defeats.

Cry Baby Bewails Pairing of Slagel and Doc Sarpolis Zaharias Claims Right to Return Match With Former Foe. Karl (Doc) Sarpolis will be outweighed ten pounds when he opposes Sol (Rubber Man) Slagel in the main go on the Hercules A. C. wrestling card Tuesdry night at the Armory. Slagel tips the scales at 230 and Sarpolis at 220. Sarpolis will work hard for a victory over the powerful Slagel to add to his local winning streak. Slagel has gone undefeated here with the exception of a tussle with Jim Londos. Doc won via the foul route over George (Cry Baby) Zaharias, Colorado Greek, two weeks ago. The matching of Slagel and Sarpolis has caused a protest from Zaharias, according to matchmaker Lloyd Carter, Zaharias sent word here that he is the logical one to engage Sarpolis in an Indianapolis ring, in view of the fact that he protested the . foul decision two weeks ago. The Cry Baby asserts that it is not fair to him, or to his reputation that another should have the opportunity to meet Sarpolis. “If Sarpolis is afraid of another match with me, you as a promoter should let that fact be known,” Zaharias told Carter. The Zaharias-Sarpolis bout two weeks ago ended with the Cry Baby’s disqualification for dishing out rough punishment after each grappler had taken one fall. Two supporting tussles will be offered on the Slagel-Sarpolis card next Tuesday. A prelim match is to be arranged. Dick Raines tackles Dorve Roach in the semi-windup.

The Reds found Root and Tinning for eight hits, while Si Johnson and Benton allowed the Cubs seven, including Chuck Klein’s fourth homer in the sixth. The Cubs retained first place becaues the Phillies chalked up their first victory, after seven straight defeats, at the expense of the challenging Giants, 3 to 2. Had the Phillies lost two more they would have equalled the .modern national circuit record of nine set by the Dodgers in 1918. Cards Come to Life The Phillies won in the sixth by virtue of Ethan Allen’s four-bagger. Freddie Fitzsimmons started for the Giants instead of Leroy Parmelee, who was rushed to New York for an appendicital operation. Fitzsimmons and Bell allowed eight hits, while Collins limited the Giants to five. St. Louis snapped out of its slump and trounced the Pirates, 10 to 1, for its second victory in seven starts. Bill Hallahan limited the Corsairs to six scattered hits, while his mates hammered Birkofer, Chagnon and Smith for sixteen, including Virgil Davis’ homer in the seventh. The Pirates made three costly errors. Boston passed Brooklyn and replaced the Pirates at third place by virtue of a 2 to 0 win over the Dodgers. The Braves got off to a two-run lead in the first and w r ere never headed, giving veteran Tom Zachary victory over Dutch Leonard in a six-hit pitching duel. Jordan's walk and dolibles by Berger and Whitney accounted for two tallies. Athletics Drop Yanks Detroit regained the American League lead from the Yankees, after a one-day lapse, by beating the White Sox, 2 to 1, while the Yanks lost to the Athletics, 3 to 2. Sorrell beat Gaston and Wyatt of the White Sox in a close pitching battle w'hen Greenberg’s double in the sixth scored Goslin with the winning run. The Yanks dropped to third place, behind idle Cleveland, when a single by Higgins and a double by Frank Hayes provided the marginal tally for the Athletics in the ninth. Babe Ruth’s single in the fifth with the bases loaded accounted for the two New York runs. Ed Coleman of the A.’s hit a homer in the third w'ith a mate aboard. Washington remained in a fifthplace tie with the Athletics by trimming the Red Sox, 10 to 7. The Senators clicked off eight runs in the first two frames, after Joe Cronin shook up his lineup, letting three substitutes—Boken, Travis and Harris—lead the fifteen-hit attack on four Boston flingers. Cleveland at St. Louis was frozen out. LOCAL PUG IN DAYTON Jimmy Goodman, Colonial A. C. bexer, will fight a return bout with Jess McMurtrie, of Cincinnati, at Dayton tonight.

Fred Frame Enters Three Cars in 500-Mile Classic

The veteran winner of 1932 has entered three cars in the annual 500-mile race, one of which he will drive himself. He has not yet named the pilots for the other two cars in his stable, one of them, the famous streamlined “catfish” car which made its first appearance at the track two years ago and has been completely rebuilt for its new try at the Memorial day purse.

campaigners in automobile racing, driving several times a week between the big events at Indianapolis, has finished in the money in four out of five starts in the 500mile competition. He has driven a total of 2,342 miles on the bricks and, in addition to lap and accessory prizes, has earned over $33,000 from the Speedway management. Although in the past Frame has been in several mysterious car deals with the master business man of racing, Harry Hartz, he plans to confine his efforts to his own ambitious stable this year. After being runner-up to Louis Schneider in 1931, Frame brought his car to the track in 1932 and sprung a surprise when he set young Billie Winn in its seat to qualify it. Frame further mystified the rail birds when he appeared shortly afterward behind the wheel of one of Harry Hartz’ entries, qualified it and won the race. Sometime after that, in a deal, the details of which were not disclosed, I'rame obtained possession of the other Hartz car which Billy Arnold had slightly damaged in an accident. Silent Frame again crossed up the wise birds in “Gasoline Alley” last year. He entered two cars and then selected Pete Kreis and Paul Bost, both veteran pilots to drive them while he again entered the Hartz fold in the victory car of the previous year. He was forced out with mechanical trouble at 200 miles. But with three cars, Frame is expected to give all of his attention to his triple-threat this year.
