STAGEHAND HOLDS FOLLOWERS

DERBY CANDIDACY IS BOLSTERED

STAGEHANDS price in some Kentucky Derby future books has been sliced from 3 to 1 to 13 to 5... . The field for the turf classic is graaually taking shape, and before another week is over, bringing the two final Derby ‘tests—the Wood Memorial and the Blue Grass Stakes— it will be quite definitely determined how many will go postward in America’s blue-ribbon event at Churchill

Downs on May 7.

Virtually every leading Derby candidate, except Maxwell Howard's Stagehand, the favorite, has been seen in one or more trials in the East this spring and none has come along yet to steal the thunder from Stagehand, hero of the Santa Anita Derby and conqueror of Seabiscuit in the $100,000 Santa Anita Handicap. Thus, Stagehand today is as firmly entrenched as the Derby choice as he was early in the season. ... And unless the Wood Memorial and the Blue Grass Stakes produce stronger threats, the Earl Sande-trained ace may go to the post one of the shortest priced favorites in recent years.

NEW YORKERS saw several Derby candidates in action last Saturday, and only one, Belair Stud’s Fighting Fox, made a deep impression. . . . The full brother to Gallant Fox launched his 3-year-old campaign with a galloping five-length victory in the Forest Purse. ... Even though he met inferior company, Fighting Fox won in a manner to indicate he is the East’s chief hope to score in

the Derby.

Willis Sharpe Kilmer’s ‘Nedayr, another Eastern Derby aspirant, did not fare as well as Fighting Fox in his 38-year-old debut. . . . The son of Neddie, under 126 pounds, finished third to Wheatley Stable’s fleet filly, Merry Lassie, and Edward Duffy’s Derby eligible, Steel Knight, in the Stuyvesant, beaten about six lengths. . . . By no means, however, can one eliminate Nedayr as a Derby threat because of that defeat, since the colt needed the effort and is bound to improve.

: WN JEILE Fighting Fox today holds a more favorable position for the Derby and Nedayr remains as a likely factor, neither has made a

dent in Stagehand’s status. .

. . In racing circles the opinion is that

Sande’s horse has fortified his position by remaining idle, while most of the other Derby eligibles have been eliminating themselves in

competition. The Chesapeake at Havre

de Grace last Saturday established Hal

Price Headley’s Bourbon King as a worthy Derby horse after he took

the $12,700 stake from several other candidates. . .

. It may come to

pass that Bourbon King will be Headley’s chief reliance for the Ken-

tucky event, as his

three other candidates, Menow, Dah He and Copy

Cat, all recently beaten at Keeneland Park, figure as doubtful starters.

NMEov earlier considered one of the Derby choices, was left at

the

post in a race won by Calumet Farm’s Bull Lea and finished third, but his race was disappointing. . . . While he may be sent back in the Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland tomorrow, some reports indicate

the Belmont Futurity winner will pass up the Derby. . .

Fighting Fox, has gained a following by winning first time out. Bourbon King was considered the ugly duckling among Headley’s four Derby eligibles, and his rise to prominence in winning the Chesapeake is another example stressing the uncertainty of racing.

HE Kentucky Derby management has announced arrangements to present the Indiana University R. O. T. C. band in a marching show at the Downs on Derby Day. . . . The decision to exhibit the I, U. band before Derby fans came after Bruce Head, Churchill Downs vice president, had witnessed the band going through its spectacular maneuvers during the Purdue-Indiana football game last fall. Impressed, Mr. Head conceived the idea of giving Derby goers an extra thrill by presenting the big band on an actual football gridiron. ...

Demands Max Give Purse to | Refugee Fund

Nonsectarian League Says German Figures in Nazi Propaganda.

Bb NEW YORK, April 27 (U. P.).— The Nonsectarian League announced today that the Joe LouisMax Schmeling heavyweight title fight would be boycotted unless

| Schmeling agreed to turn his share

of the purse over to the relief of German refugees. Shortly after Promoter Mike Jacobs had announced the fight would be staged in New York June 22, the league’s executive committee issued its ultimatum. Schmeling was given until May 2 to consider the proposition. Unless Schmeling capitulates, the

league threatened to place picket lines around box offices and all agencies selling tickets. Pamphlets denouncing the fight would be circulated. Other plans for attempt-

failure “will be announced later,” it was said. . The committee emphasized that “our struggle is not against Max Schmeling, but the things he represents. His position in the boxing world is used as another fulcrum in Hitler's propaganda machine. He is pointed out to the German people and to the 250,000 Nazis in the United States as the product of Reich training and an example of Hitlerism. We're fighting that story —not Schmeling.” Jacobs, however, left himself an “out” for just such an emergency when he announced his choice of sites for the fight, which is expected to gross $1,000,000. He said that it would be held in Yankee Stadium “unless developments unforseen arise to necessitate a shift in the site.” Unless a boycott interferes Jacobs figured the fight would be a “natural” that would draw a capacity crowd of 80,000, and he said that on that basis the fight would “gross a million.” He has scaled ticket prices from $350 in the bleachers to $30 at the ringside. Schmeling will arrive from Germany May 9, go to French Lick, Ind, for two weeks, thence to Speculator, N. Y. for his final sharpening.

Marshall Tosses Dutch Champion

Everett Marshall, former heavyweight champion, had another vic-

tory to his credit today after winning over Henry Piers of Holland in the second and third falls of the main bout in a wrestling program last night at the Armory. It was the first appearance here for Piers, rated the Dutch heavyweight champion. The six-foot-three Hollander won the first fall in 6 minutes with a reverse body scissors, Marshall won the second in 20 minutes with a leg bender and he won the bout in the third with the same hold. : Silent Rattan, light heavyweight of Indianapolis, took the semiwindup when Stacy Hall, Columbus. O., was unable to continue after the second fall. In the other bout Pat Kelly, Knoxville, pinned Boris Boronoff, New York, with a flying tackle and body press after 15 minutes.

BALL STATE DEFEATS GREYHOUNDS, 8 TO 4

Ball State held an 8-4 victory over Indiana Central today after overcoming a three-run lead in the first inning to defeat the Greyhounds yesterday at University

‘| Heights. The Muncie team scored

in the second, third, sixth and ninth innings and got nine hits to Indiana Central's six. Pefavento, who fanned 12, was the winning pitcher.

Dean to Bring Pennant to

Cubs, Jimmy Wilson Says

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, April 27.—James Wilson, distinguished expert on economics, today forecast the end of one of the country’s established financial institutions. “There won't be no nickel series this year,” Mr. Wilson stated in the casual yet firm manner typical of men in his position. Mrs. Wilson who sat beside him at the dinner table sighed. “I hope not. I'm getting tired of coming to New York ‘every year. see some other parts of the country.” : “Well, this year, my pet, you will see Chicago,” promised Mr. Wilson,

{the economist, who qualifies as

such because in his capacity as manager of the Phillies it requires a miracle of economy even to put nine men on the ball field. . Being a national leaguer Mr. Wilson indicated he hadino opinion cn conditions in the American League. He professed to be informed only on the National League. “And the

Giants won’t win this year,” he said. “It will be the Cubs. And Dizzy Dean is the answer.” Dean has been the answer to a lot of things, including Branch Rickey’s jumpy nerves and the gray hairs in Frankie Frisch’s head. Mr. Wilson smiled weakly and said he'd like to get jumpy nerves and: gray hairs on account of a pitcher of Dean’s eminence. How does it.feel to manage a ball club year after year that hasn't a chance to win the pennant, not

even to finish in the first division? |

“Oh, it isn’t so bad, except ‘I'm scarcely a hero back home. ‘We usually manage to make the games close. And it’s interesting watching young fellows come along and develop into pretty good ball players.” But it must be discouraging when the management takes these ‘ball players and sells them—players like Dick Bartell, Chuck Klein, Dolf Camilli and Curt Davis?. “That’s the only way the club can keep going. We haven't the kind of money Ruppert has here in New York or Wrigley out in Chicago.” What Mr. Wilson meant to say was that the club has the same kind of money but not as much of it. “You watch Camilli with Brooklyn this year. He’s a whale of a ball player. I actually believe he is the best first baseman I ever saw in the National League and that goes for Bill Terry, too.” Every so often in these closing out sales of the Phillies the man bites the dog. That happened when they sold Don Hurst to the Cubs in 1934 for dough and had Camilli thrown in. Hurst flopped and is now trying to pitch on the Pacific Coast. Camilli was sold to Brooklyn for $60,000 this spring.

Facing the 12th and finale of their first home stand, the Indianapolis Indians were to say farewell to Perry Stadium today in the last of the series with Milwaukee's Brew-

T'S. : : The Tribesters are to hit the road tomorrow morning, travel all day and then open a swing through the West in St. Paul Friday when the Saints open their home season. The Redskins will be on the road until May 13 when they are to play the night ball inaugural at the stadium against the Louisville Col-

onels. Incidentally, May 13 falls on Friday, which is a regular ladies’ day date at the Tribe park. While in enemy territory the Indiarns are scheduled for series in St. Paul, Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Kansas City in the order named. ‘Lloyd Johnson was slated to pitch for the Hoosiers today and endeavor to make it three in a row over the Brewers. Chance for First Place The Indians advanced to second place in the A. A. chase by edging the Cream City pastimers yesterday, 8 to 7, and if they win this afternoon and Kansas City loses at Louisville the Redskins will leave home in first place. The Tribesters staged another rousing finish yesterday and came from behind twice to put the game in the bag. In the ninth, with the score deadlocked at T-all, Glenn “Chapman, first up, took a hefty swing and hit Louis Ahlf’s first pitch out of the park for a home run and the game. The drive soared over the left

| field wall and the Richmond wal-

loper jogged around the sacks with the ioees marker. He batted in two rung with a single in the seventh and the homer increased his record to three markers batted in on two hits. : Reliable Don French stepped into the breach again, checked a Brewer rally in the ninth by pitching to one man for the third out. Since the score was a tie when he went in, Don received credit for the victory, his third this season in the relief role. He saved last Saturday’s game by halting the Kansas City Blues, rescued Monday's game to receive credit for the win and repeated yesterday. His iecord in five appearances: : Innings pitched, 15%; hits, six; runs, one; strikeouts, 10; bases on balls, two; hit batsmen, one; victories, three; defeats, none. Yesterday's contest was deadlocked three times before Chapman applied the clincher in the ninth. Incidentally, pitcher Ahlf of the Brewers threw just one ball and was charged with the defeat. Milwaukee used three hurlers and Indianapolis four. Vance Page worked the first inning for the Tribe, got bumped for two runs and limped off the field and out of the game. The veteran pulled a charley horse as he fanned Frank Schulte to retire the side. : Wasdell Hits Double Wes Flowers toiled five rounds and dropped out for a pinch hitter in the sixth. Lauri Myllykangas tried his hand and was batted out in the ninth, after which Mr. French strolled in from the bull pen and put on the screws. Jimmy Wasdell, young outfielder who reported to the Indians yesterday from the Washington Senators, made an auspicious start in Indian regalia. He batted for Pilney in the sixth and sent a towering fly to right, and in the seventh belted & double to right which scored two mates sand put the Redskins in the lead, 6 to 5. The blow was an easy triple but Jimmy lost sight of third buse and was tagyred out. : He takes a Ruthian swing at the plate and probably will get his share of hits against righthanded pitching even after Double-A pitchers feel him out. He batted 319 with Chattanooga in the Class A-1 Southern Association in 1937. A single by Latshaw launched the Tribe's four-run splurge in the seventh which knocked Ralph Winegarner out of the box. He held the Indians to five hits and two runs in six innings before the Redskins went on the warpath.

Indians Wind Up Home Stand In Finale With Brewers; Jim Turner in

Spotlight Ex-Redskin Hurler Seems to

Be Headed for Another Big Season.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 27.—Come what may—wars, taxes, recessions or plagues, the National League can be counted on for a dog-eat-dog pennant race. Here it is only 10 days since the season opened and four clubs are breathing on each other's necks in a first division battle. Even with seven straight vice tories, Pittsburgh couldn't draw away from the field, and today the Giants were only half a game behind the Pirates who had their streak snapped yesterday by the Cubs. The surprise team is the Bees in third place, two games off the pace. The Cubs are fourth, also two games behind. The big reason why the Bees are riding high, is Jim Turner, who at 31 seems dese

tined to gain rank among the

league’s greatest moundsmen. Many first year sensations fold up when the going gets tough in the second season. Turner led the league ih low earned runs average last year with 2.38 and was one of four pitchers to win 20 games. He's started off right where he left off a year ago, winning his first two games and allowing only 11 hits in 18 innings. He beat the Giants, 6-4, on six hits and came back vesterday to whip Brooklyn, 4-1, on five hits. The Giants moved up on the Pirates’ heels by beating the Phillies 12-8. Cincinnati spotted the Cardinals seven runs and then beat the Gas House Gang, 8-7, in 10 innings, Cleveland continued to set the American League pace by beating the Chicago White Sox, 10-6. Zeke

Bonura’s homer with a man on fea=_ tured Washington's 6-to-4 victory.

Detroit climbed out of the cellar by:

defeating the Browns, 7-1, behind Elden Auker’s 5-hit pitching.
