19TH SEASON FOR LEFTY GROVE

$100,000 TRANSACTIONS

IN TWO

EFTY GROVE, off on what looks like another good year in the American League, is fire-balling his 19th season in baseball. . . . Grove started in the game in 1920 at Martinsburg, W. Va... . After a few games he was bought by Baltimore and in five seasons there, after working in 206 games, the late Jack Dunn sold him to Philadelphia for $100,000. Ten years later the famous left arm was still worth $100,000 and Tom Yawkey paid that for his release from the Athletics to the Red Sox. . .. Shortly after joining the Boston club Grove got his first sore arm, but it held him down for only a year and he returned to winning form. Grove isn't using the same speed today, but he is using his head and getting good results. . . , Lefty expects to round out 20 full seasons and then possibly go on to 25. » =» 5 5 5 ASEBALL castofls have their day now and then. . Jim Weaver, sold for a small sum by the Browns, and Ray Benge, released by the Cardinals, pitched the Cincy Reds to a triumph over the haughty Giants the other day. « + » Benge took up the toil in the eighth and struck out Lou Chiozza on three curves to kill off a New York uprising. Is National a minor league? . . . Frank Gabler, cast adrift by the Boston Bees, was taken on by the Chicago White Sox and in his first American League start let the Athletics down with seven hits and won. . . . Incidentally, the Indianapolis club was close to grabbing Gabler only to be balked when the Sox snatched him on waivers.

Track Honors

Williams and Stevens of Muncie Set Records At Kokomo Event.

KOKOMO, Ind, May 7 (U. P).— | Tech of Indianapolis overpowered the field for the North Central track title here yesterday but elongated Aaron Williams and Stevens, Muncie cinder mates, took the spotlight by shattering two conference records. The big Tech squad, scoring in every event, amassed 69 33-44 points, Kokomo was close behind with 59; Muncie took third with 52 13-40 and | Anderson was fourth, scoring 21 19-20. Williams set his record in the 120-yard hurdles, clipping the high sticks in 15.8 seconds. Stevens made the best time in the state among the prep milers this year by rushing to a new mile mark of 4:28. i Other winners came through with good performances. Frazier of Ko- |

komo took off at the broad jump pit for a leap of 22 feet 73: inches, which labeled him the best in the | state in that event. DesChamps, ace Kokomo vaulter, | pulled over the bar at 12 feet to] continue his long string of first places in the pole vault. Next week | he probably will make a strong bid

{for a new state record. He'll have | to clear 12 feet 10 inches to make it.

Yates of Anderson made an outstanding time in the 880, winning | in 2:03.3. Hawkins of Kokomo, with firsts in | the dashes, and Williams of Mun- | cie, taking the high hurdles and | high jump. were the only double | winners. Williams took scoring | honors with 14 points. | Other teams scoring were Jeffersonville of Lafayette with 8 13-14 points, Marion made 61-5, Richmond totaled 4'= and Frankfort had 3'i. Logansport and Newcastle did not compete.

Washington Team

Defeats Manual

Washington High School today held a 85°;-t0-491'4 track victory over Manual after a meet yesterday at Washington, the last home event on the Continentsls' schedule. Winning firsts in the pole vault, high jump and broad jump, Red Carter of Washington won high scoring honors with 15 points. His mate, Bob Kersey, was second with firsts in both hurdle races and a! third in the shot put, Washington took 10 firsts.

Two More Records Set by Bud Piel

Record-breaker Bud Piel had two more track records to his credit today after leading his Shortridge High School teammates to a 65-to-44 victory over Southport last night at the new Roosevelt Stadium. Holder of city records in the century and 220-yard dash, Piel did the

BATTLING REDS MOVE INTO FIRST DIVISION

McKechnie’s Boys Have Won

Six Out of Last Seven Starts;

By Sweeping Series With Pirates.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 7-~Rushing up from the rear at the fastest pace of any National League Club, the Reds today were in the first division and finally seemed ready to live up to | all the lavish praise that has been bestowed on them the past two | springs, Under the patient ministrations of Bill McKechnie the Reds apparently have found themselves. No one could understand what happened to them last year when they came north with so much spring promise, failed miserably and ended up in the cellar. Again this spring they looked good in the South and then started poorly. Almost everyone had been ready to give up on them. Then they put on a couple of “never-say-quit” rallies against the Cubs, and even though they lost both games, the Reds began to look dangerous. Pittsburgh, which licked the Reds, 20 out of 21 times last year, moved into Cincinnati and things began to happen. The Reds knocked them off three in a row,

kept on by taking two out of three against the “hot” Giants, and added | another victory yesterday over Brooklyn. The big cogs in the Reds’ comeback are First Baseman Frank McCormick, the Bronx boy who looks | like the National League's prize | rookie: Ival Goodman, who's tied for the National League lead in

homers, with five; the second base

| combination Lonnie Frey; and Paul Derringer, | -

of Billy Myers and Al Hollingsworth and Peaches Da- | vis, who have staged pitching come- | backs. Hollingsworth pitched the Reds to a 10-3 victory over Brooklyn yesterday enabling them to move into fourth place, only a game and a| half behind the third-place Pirates. |

Di Mag and Medwick | Lead Batters

NEW YORK, May 7 (U.P) —The| majors’ two “Big Joes,” Medwick of

| St. Louis in the National and Di- | Maggio of New York in the Amer-

ican, blasted their way into batting leadership of their respective leagues in their first week of regular play. Medwick gave evidence he was a | threat to win the National League | batting crown for the second | straight year when he connected | safely 12 times in his first 31 times at bat for a mark of .387 in eight games. DiMaggio has rammed 11 hits in 24 trips for a .458 average. Statistics included games played through Thursday. Cliff Melton of the National League champion Giants led pitchers in both circuits with four victories and no defeats while in the American, Lefty Grove, Boston;

MILWAUKEE, May T7.—Having

| pulled within a half a game of the

league leading Kansas City Blues by trouncing the Brewers in the series opener here yesterday, 10 tol,

| the Indianapolis Indians hoped to

make it two straight today, since Vance Page, reliable righthander,

"was slated to pitch.

The Redskins collected 16 blows yesterday while Lloyd Johnson held the home team to six scattered hits. Jimmy Pofahl, Vincent Sherlock and Glenn Chapman belted homeruns and the Indians’ big inning was the eighth when they staged a six-run splurge. Blaeholder, Jungels and Ahlf toiled on the Milwaukee rubber and the defeat was charged to the first named. It was the Tribe's fourth consecutive victory over the Brewers this season. The Sothoron crew failed to win a game in an earlier series at Indianapolis. The Hoosiers have won three out of four starts on the road and have two games left here and three at Kansas City before their next home stand beginning on May 13. Both Indians and Brewers played errorless ball yesterday and the contest was strictly an affair of high powered batting by the winners behind the smart pitching of Johnson,

OUISVILLE, Ky.,, May 7.—Bull Lea will win the 64th running of the Kentucky Derby today. I pick him. Poor horse! Bull Lea now automatically becomes a member of that sad and undistinguished company of Kentucky thoroughbreds who have felt my kiss of death. I often wonder, as I tramp the moors in the twilight, accompanied only by my sheep dog and keeper, whatever happened to Military, the horse I picked to win the Derby last year. I hope that those persistent rumors that have Military hauling a milk wagon in MinneapIf they are I'd hate to live on his route, because the milk and cream always would

Slam, my sure fire tip of two years ago? Reports that he still is some-

where on the backstretch here at |<

the Downs are repeatedly cropping up. Not that Bull Lea isn't a great horse. He is, this big barrelchested son of Bulldog and Rose Leaves. He has early speed, courage to spare and the power to carry the 126pound Derby weight the full distance of a mile and a quarter. Read the form charts and you won't find but one Derby rival he has any reason to fear, that being an article named Fghting Fox. Of course, saying that all Bull Lea has to fear is the Fox is like saying the only thing that Napoleon had to fret him was Wellington, or that all a turkey has to fret is Thanksgiving. What I mean is, the Fox constitutes a menace that cannot be lightly discouraged.

AM doing my utmost to keep my selection from Bull Lea. So is his stable. Word that I had picked Bull Lea had no sooner reached the streets before his stable issued an order forbidding him to read a newspaper, listen to the radio, or talk to strangers. His handlers know as well as I do that when I select a horse to win it would be much more merciful for me to take his chances of victory out behind the barn and drown them like kittens. My choice for place money is Fighting Fox and for show money, Dauber. This latter named creature would be my first choice but for the fact that, like visting relatives, it takes him so long to get going. Dauber simply can’t start moving until at least a mile has been covered, and sometimes his opponents are not sufficiently courteous to drop into a corner drug store and have a soda while waiting for him to catch up.

When Industry devises something new to present to humans to raise prevailing standards of living, and gets excited, there is immediately instituted a dynamic sales activity which brings widespread profits and benefits to great masses of people,

American sales promotion has at times, become so involved in its service to humanity that it has actually forgotten business in a strictly business sense, with the inevitable result of great ly increased prosperity,
