LOUISVILLE is not doing as well as expected while St. Paul and Milwaukee are getting along better than the pre-season dope indicated. . . . Kansas City and Minneapolis are holding up the dopesters’ views, Indianapolis is slipping and Toledo and Columbus are no better than rated in early April. . . . However, the Mud Hens have increased their prestige and probably will escape the cellar this year.

Harris Decides Pofahl Fills Bill

BUCKY HARRIS declares rookie Jimmy Pofahl is the best defensive shortstop Washington has had since Roger Peckinpaugh. . . Joe Cronin has appointed Jimmy Foxx field captain of the Boston Red Sox, a job that carries $600 in extra pay. The addition of Johnny Rizzo by the Reds in a trade for Vince DiMaggio was bad news to the Brooklyn Dodgers. . . . For they believe Rizzo to be a good ball player, handicapped in Pittsburgh by the attitude of the Buc fans. In Johnny's first season in the majors in 1938 he was a key man in the Pirates’ frustrated flag bid. . . . He batted .301 and drove in 111 runs, aided bv 23 home runs. . . . If he approaches that pace with the Reds that club will be even harder to beat.

THE New Covenant Presbvterian team of the Louisville ‘Church League can boast this year of being the only church team in the United States with a couple of graduates playing key infield spots on major league teams. Billy Herman, Chicago Cubs’ second baseman, starred for the Covenanters about 10 vears before Peewee Reese, now with Brooklyn, stepped from their shortstop position to the Louisville ‘Colonels.

The 25%-pound Californian recounted his version of the accident today. “I was riding between Bob Swanson and Floyd Roberts just before the accident happened. and as you know, I was in the fourcylinder car owned jointly by Roberts and Lou Moore. “At that time, I was averaging 117 miles an hour, while Roberts, according to the pit sign, was doing 118. I figured he would go around me, perhaps on the back straightaway.

“As we came out of the turn, I saw Swanson's car skid in the oil and move toward the outside rail. The best chance for me, I thought, was to go low and try to get around him. Fortunately I made it. “I didn't see the accident but heard the crash as Roberts’ car struck Swanson's. I didn't realize at that time that Floyd had cracked up but believed Swanson had just struck the wall. T didn't know Roberts had crashed until the pit sign showed his car hadn't picked up any laps.” This year is Frank's fourth on the circle of speed. Last year he finished 10th and in 1938 he was ninth. In his first race the previous year he was forced out after 247 miles. He believes that if he reduces

Add Charlie ‘Gehringer anecdotes: Idling on the Tigers’ bench at Comiskey Field, Chicago, Gehringer was asked how much he had recovered from the lame back that kept him out of all but one of the Tigers’ 1940 spring exhibition games. “Well, I'm all right on the nigh hops,” Gehringer replied dryly. : : | The Kansas City Blues, who have Tot EY oR Re Ta er ki ye failea to look like champions & the chests of his home town fans when hes : n Cincinnati. . . .

His qualifying speed of 125.074 last year gave him the inside position in the sixth row. The maroon - and - gold Boyle machine should equal or better that, Wearne is convinced.

Joe Thorne, the racing millionaire from the West Coast, looks for the lap and qualifying trials set by the late Jimmy Snyder to be cracked this year by Rex Mays in the Bowes Special. “Mays can hike those records at least a mile an hour,” Thorne said, “and if he does, I'll come back in 1041 with a car that can lift them again. Snyder drove one of Thorne's cars last year, spun one lap in

the new time of 130.757 miles an

130.138. Snyder was killed last year in a midget race, and Thorne didn't bring back the car Snyder drove. However, he himself will be behind the wheel of the sixcylinder job which he piloted to seventh place in last year’s race. In that race Thorne averaged 110.416 miles an hour, went without relief during the whole 500 miles and rested one minute and 47 seconds while he was in the pits. His qualifying time was 122.117 ‘miles an hour. “Some time I hope to win the 500,’ ” Thorne said. “I wouldn't say this year. I'm not good enough. But I'll be out there try= ing, and I won't pick up my marbles if I can't win.”

A crowd of 40,000 turned out under fair skies and a bright sun to watch the Idle Hour colt go against a choice field. And while his name no longer was linked with Man ©’ War and his long string of victories no longer was intact, Bimelech was still the horse of the masses. For the odds on the morning line were 2 to 1 that he would wipe out the shame of his Derby defeat, humble the Milky Way longshot who beat him to the wire at Churchill Downs, and bound right back lo Sorin for the American three-year-old championship.
