Cardinals Claim

Spring World Series Title

By UNITED PRESS ST. PETERSBURG-The St. Louis Cardinals emerged champions today in their nine game stand with the New York Yankees, which the more optimistic Cardinal fans chose to describe as the “spring

world series.”

The Cards won their sixth game from the Yankees in the finale

here yesterday, 3 to 2. Pitchers hits. The Cards got all their runs in the first inning off Red Ruffing.

MIAMI BEACH-—The St. Louis Brovns moved on to Daytona Beach to play the Brooklyn Dodgers again today. The Brownfes took their ninth game in 12 starts here yesterday, beating the Philadelphia Phils 8 to 6 in 10 innings. Don Gutteridge, the old Cardinal infielder, who is attempting a comeback with the Browns got three hits, one a

homer, batted in three runs and handled 10 chances afield without error.

ST. PETERSBURG—The New York Yankees break spring training camp today and head north on the long trip that will take them through Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. They wind up in New York on’ April 10, playing the Dodgers that day and next at Ebbets field and on the third day at Yankee stadium.

JACKSONVILLE — The New York Giants and Cleveland Indians meet today in their last Florida game before shoving off north for their extended exhibition trip. Billy Werber doubled to right in the 10th inning to score Connie Ryan with the winning run as the Giants tripped "the Indians, 3-2, yesterday.

DAYTONA BEACH—Manager Leo Durocher of the Brooklyn Dodgers refused to comment today on the report that his club was negotiating with Washington for pitcher Buck Newsom. The

Full Card Billed For Armory Show

The complete program has heen arranged for the Armory mat ring tomorrow night where an added feature is a “mixed” match between George (K. O.) Koverly, aggressive California wrestler, and Lou Thomas, local heavyweight fighter. The boxer vs. grappler engagement is for four rounds of three minutes each, with the 230-pound Koverly expecting to prove his superiority by pinning Lou's shoulders to the mat for a three count. Thomas has high hopes of knocking out his opponent early in the bout. Lou will wear regulation boxing gloves. He weighs 205. Heading the regular grappling bill will be All Pasha, Hindu matman, and Dave Reynolds of Boise, Idaho. It is for two falls out of three. One fall matches are between Billy Thom of Bloomington, and Jack Smithers of Columbus, O., and Ray Eckert of California, Mo., against Jack Hill of Cleveland.

on both sides were tapped for 11

Dodgers play the St. Louis Browns today. Curt Davis and Whit Wyatt held the Senators to eight hits yesterday as Brooklyn won, 6-1.

PASADENA — The Chicage White Sox return today for another crack at the Pittsburgh Pirates with Ted Lyons and Thornton Lee doing the pitching. The Sox lost their game yesterday to the San Diego Padres, 5 to 4, in their poorest defensive showing this season. They allowed four errors. Luke Appling, making his first appearance since reporting three weeks late, went hitless in three times at bat.

LOS ANGELES — Les Fleming |

and Tot Presnell pitch for the Chicago Cubs today against the Los Angeles Angels at Wrigley

fleld. Stan Hack, Bill Nicholson,

Clyde McCullough and Len Murillo each slammed out a homer vesterday to aid the Cubs in their 10-to-4 defeat of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

PASADENA—Rookie Outfielder Johnny Barrett was the toast of the Pittsburgh Pirates today as the team arrived here to play the

Chicago White Sox. Barrett virtually clinched a regular berth by his hitting and fielding performance as the Pirates lost to the Chicago Cubs yesterday at Leos Angeles, 10-4, He garnered three hits. Babe Phelps, former BrookIyn catcher, slugged two homers for the Pirates.

SAN FRANCISCO — Connie Mack of the Philadelphia Athletics was cheered today by news that Dick Siebert, holdout first baseman, had capitulated and would report in a few days, but his team continued its dismal exhibition record. Yesterday the A’s dropped a twin bill to the San Francisco Seals.

MIAMI BEACH—The Philadelphia Phils were bothered with their usual trouble today—pitching—as Manager Hans Lobert sought the answer to a shortage of seasoned hurlers. This was evidenced yesterday when the Phils’ sluggers managed to wipe out a 3-run deficit in the ninth to tie the St. Louis Browns, only to lose in the 10th, 8-6.

ORLANDO — The Washington Senators, back today for a game with the Detroit Tigers, were preparing for their last week of Florida training—climaxing one of their most successful seasons in the grapefruit league in several years of spring baseball. The league-leading Nationals are dickering with the Brooklyn Dodgers in a deal that might bring Catcher Angelo Giuliani, Fielder “Frenchie” Bordagaray and Third Baseman Lew Riggs into the Washington camp.

COCOA, Fila., March 30.—The Indians were “at home” today, playing

the Buffalo International leaguers

Red Wings Beat Boston There

BY UNITED PRESS The New York Rangers staved off elimination from the Stanley Cup playoffs last night by defeating the Toronto Maple Leafs, 3-1, and

making their class A series standing: Toronto, 3; New York, 2. Detroit drew first blood in its semi-final series with Boston, beating the Bruins, 6-4.

The clubs go to Toronto for the!§

Rookie Hurlers

Have Deftness

By PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, March 30.—Tradi-

per Gabby Hartnett booked the tall Hoosier pitcher to work five innings. George Gill, also a lanky righthander from last year’s Tribe staff, was carded to take up the mound toll in the sixth and finish. The entire Indians’ squad was interested in Hildebrand’s spring debut. He was one of the first hurlers in camp and has been nursing his salary wing by letting out only at intervals along the sidelines and in batting practice.

* Looking Ahead to Opener

It would be a fine thing for the {opening day gate at Indianapolis if Hildebrand § earns the coveted : starting assignment in the Amer-

ican association lid-lifter on April 16. His chief rival for this particular job is Lefty Bob tf Logan, who is i showing his usual splendid spring form and who probably will be the first Indian pitcher to go nine inning this spring. At any rate, Logan is anxious for the try. The Tribesters had no game scheduled yesterday and spent the Sabbath hustling about the premises in a long practice. Manager Hartnett dished out the complete works and also added a fielding practice for the moundsmen. 3 At Ft. Pierce Saturday the Bison hurlers bottled up the Indians power and their only extra base blow in eight safeties was a double by Bill Skelley, shortstop.

Bisons Solve Reid

Steve Rachunok blanked the Bisons for five innings and then turned the mound duties over to

Hildebrand

{Earl Reid. Buffalo promptly got |to Reid for two runs in the sixth—

and that was the ball game. The Bisons were held to five hits at that.

Skelley and Joe Moore got two blows apiece for the Tribesters. The Indians’ exhibition record is now at a standoff—two won and two lost.

After meeting the Bisons in a return tilt in Cocoa today, the Redskins will travel to Hollyweod tomorrow to tackle the Baltimore Orioles of the International loop; and on Wednesday the Tribesters will make a second stand in Ft. Pierce for a third clash with Buffalo.

BLUE POINT k ¥

tion and the lively ball do not go

but there's a group of minor league pitching stars knocking around Florida's baseball training camps who will defy both in an attempt to make good this year. The hoary hypothesis that a minor league record of 20 victories indicates that a recruit pitcher is certain to possess the necessary deftness for a major league berth was thrown into the discard when some-

body put an extra bounce in the baseball and nowadays — radiant records to the contrary—a new moundsman find it difficult to make

good. Despite all that, Yank Terry, Johnny Lindell, Red Embree, Al Hollingsworth, Murry Dickson, Ray Starr, Howie Pollet and Sal Maglie —graded only according to victories —present one of the best possibilities in the seasons for success.

Terry, Best Record

Terry has brought the best record of the bunch to his second trial with the Boston Red Sox, 26 and 8. He is a righthander and was voted the most valuable player in the Pacific

coast league last year with an earned run average of 2.31. He passed only 74, fanned 172 and gave up 264 hits in 315 innings. He didn’t click last

Lem vs. Bobo

PITTSBURGH, March 30 (U. P.) —Lammin’ Lem Franklin, hard-hitting Cleveland Negro who ran into a surprise knockout at the hands of Bob Pastor last month, will attempt a comeback at the Gardens tonight against Harry Bobo, Pittsburgh Negro heavyweight. The bout is not expected to last the scheduled 10 rounds, as both men are devastating punchers, with Franklin possibly holding a slight edge in this department. Bobo will have age and weight on his side. He is 21 — four years younger than Franklin — and will weigh about 208 pounds, five or six pounds more than his opponent. Franklin, like Bobo, an aspir= ant to Joe Louis’ heavyweight championship, will be seeking to redeem himself after his poor showing against Pastor.

Yes! But What About Army All-Star Team?

NEW YORK, March 30 (U. P.) A full-scale National professional football league schedule will begin on Sept. 13, continue for 13 weeks, and close on Dec. 6 but today’s announcement made no provision for the all-star army team which will play in the league. The 1942 program was released as the owners wound up their annual three-day session at the Hotel Com= modore and the only dates accorded the army outfit were the open days on the schedule, of which there were four. No night games were scheduled. The opening games of Sept. 13 send Philadelphia to Pittsburgh and Cleveland against the Chicago Cardinals. Detroit plays the Cardi=

nals on the following Sunday. Philadelphia at Cleveland and Pittsburgh at Washington are open ing games. The first full day is set for Sept. 27 when the Bears swing into ace tion at Green Bay, Cardinals at Pittsburgh, Cleveland at Detroit, {New York at Washington and Brodklyn at Philadelphia. Closing day, Dec. 6, has the Cardinals at the Bears, Pittsburgh at Green Bay and Brooklyn at New York. No decision was reached on which of Green Bay's home games would

year when he was called up from Louisville and was optioned to San Diego in a trade that brought Dick Newsome to tHe Sox. Lindell, another righthander, won 23 games against four defeats for the New York Yankees Newark farm club in the International league and on top of that notched three more wins in the play-offs.

Embree, Hollingsworth and Dickson all registered 21 victories. Embree lost only five games for WilkesBarre while notching and amazing earned run mark of 1.62.

Ray Starr Included

Southpaw Hollingsworth is a rookie in name only. He comes from Sacramento where he dropped only nine games. He's been with Cincinnati, the Phils, Brooklyn and Washington — and now the Browns are giving him the once-over because of his 3.71 earned run average last year.

Columbus of the American association sends up Dickson, a righthander, to the Caridnals. He lost 11 while “rubber-arming” his way through 259 innings, fanning 153 and winning the AA strikeout crown. He turned in 22 complete games and registered a 3.30 earned run average.

Starr, Pollett and Maglie won 20 games. Pollett, like Hollingsworth, is a southpaw and a rookie only in a sense. He lost only three for Houston in 1941 while compiling a 1.168 earned run mark but was called up to the Cards late last season. He worked in nine games, winning five and losing two. Starr is in the same category. He'll be 35 next month and has had chances with the Cards, Giants and Braves. He won 20 and dropped 15 with Indianapolis and when called up by the Reds late last summer, he had enough stuff left to win three and lose two. He built an earned run mark of 3.43 with Indianapolis. Maglie is a giant prospect from Elmira where he lost 15 while winning 20 and allowing only 2.67 runs per nine innings. He was the “iron man” of his league, working 43 games for 270 innings.
