NEW YORK, April 9.—You're all right if you win but you're just another guy if you run second. Craig Wood can tell vou about that. He spent eighteen years running second. The other day he won the Masters, his first major victory in goif. They had started to call him Mr. Runner Up. Before the first shot was fired in any big battle it was known where the Blond Bomber would finish. He'd either be second, or he'd tie and then lose in the playoft. People got to looking at him askance, as if he might be a bolo, a female impersonator or a witch doctor. This thing of almost winning, yet not winning had gone on too long. There was something sinister and evil about it. Maybe you don’t know it but Wood finished second in the very first tournament he ever played in as a professional. That was back in 1923 in Kentucky. He was fresh out of college at the time and was a caddie

master. He lost by one stroke. SO IF YOU thought he acquired his title as Mr. Runner Up through relatively recent adventures you were mistaken. He started out that way from scratch and he stayed that way for a long time, long encugh to have had every possible big championship in his hand one moment only to lose it the next. We remember sititng with him at a banquet table one night not so long ago in Buffalo. He is a friendly, gregarious and convivial fellow. You wouldn't want to know a nicer one. In a jesting manner that had all the adroitness of an elephant cake walking on epes, we said: do vou alwavs finish second? Do vou lose vour nerve or what?” Wood smiled easily and gaily. “1 finish second but let me ask you this: some nerve to finish as well as second?” Sometimes vou never can tell how vour luck is going to work for vou. For vears Wood's luck has been all bad, or mostly all bad. Tt suddenly turned this week, and to his surprise he found his bad luck had made him famous. His victory in the Masters focused public attention on all the tournaments he had just missed winning and he became a popular, sentimental favorite. This moves us to make a prediction. Wood will be the public choice to win the National Open down in Texas this year, and he might do it too. It couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.

SOMEHOW WE GOT to thinking of Discovery in connection with Wood. Remember what a tough time he had winning as a 3-vear-old? Like Wood he was Mr. Runner Up of the turf. Unlike Wood he never was able to catch his field, principally because his field consisted mainly of another great thoroughbred named Cavalcade. Their duels in 1934 became historic. Discovery could beat every horse he faced but he couldnt beat Cavalcade. If it hadn't been for Mrs. Dodge Sloane's stretch running marvel Discovery would have been one of the great 3-year-old champions of all t It got so that Cavalcade's stable dedicated a song to Discovery. It was “Me and My Shadow.” Cavalcade beat Al Vanderbilt's star six times. Off hand vou'd sav this was sufficient, that Discovery was entitled to be known as Mr. Runner up and nothing more praiseworthy. But Discovery didn't hit his real stride until he was four and in that period he met his arch rival only once. That was in the Suburban and it turned out to be no contest. Cavalcade eliminated himself at the start, losing his rider. This was the last time Cavalcade and Discovery stood at the post for combat. They were to h met the following winter ni the Santa Anita Handicap but neither ld make it. Meantime Discovery had gone on to establish himself as one of the finest stake horses the American turf ever saw.

United Press Sports Writer Sees St. Louis Second and Brooklyn Third.

(Herewith ix the second of twa articles by George Kirksey, United Desc hasehal writer. picking the 1941 pennant races.) By GEORGE KIRKSEY

United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 9.—Pitching wins pennants cially National League pennants—and that's why the Cin. cinnati Reds will hold the winning ticket again. The Reds have the best pitching staff in baseball with three potential 20-game winners in Paul Derringer, Bucky Walters and Gene Thompson. They won 58 games between them last vear and can be reasonably expected to equal or surpass that total this season. Although the Reds are the: ‘current world’s champions, | ‘they have never been called a great team as ball clubs go.

‘But they are a sound, solid [team without a vital weakness. They lack power but they don’t need

terrific punch because they don't waste runs. They have the kind of pitching and defense that can operate on a one, two or three-run margin all day long. They won 41 games by a l-run margin last season. No lucky ball club can do that. There is every reason to believe that the Reds will continue to win those close, tight ones right down the line in 1941, { As the clubs get ready to go to | the post the Reds look like a more formidable outfit than a year ago.
