OLLIE HUNTER,«Notre Dame junior distance ace, has discovered that there’s more than one way to lose a foot race. ... Under orders to take it as easy as possible in the Drake relays two-mile, Hunter paced himself to a 70-yard lead going into the final quarter, then coasted home. But Virgil Alston of Miami (Ohio) university hadn't heard of : this strategy and he came up to nip Hunter at the tape. . . . Ollie _ says that his teammates tried to warn him that Alston was closing the gap, but the roar of the crowd drowned them out. . , . He thought the noise indicated a battle for second place. And even when Alston broke the tape first-Hunter thought that the Ohio star was someone warming up for another race. “It’s my own fault,” said Hunter, “and I'm not taking a thing from Alston. I just don’t like the feeling of losing when I think I could have won.” : The two will meet ggain in the C. C. C. meet at Milwaukee and ~ the N. C. A. A. at Lincoln, Neb., in June. The Notre Dame baseball team was confronted with an unexpected hazard in its game with Western Michigan at Kalamazoo last Saturday which the Broncos won, 12 to. 7. . . . Both teams and - the capacity crowd at the Red Cross benefit game were surprised to learn that the Western Michigan athletic field had been designated that day’s objective of a group of army pursuit ships and light bombers which kept roaring out of nowhere at 300 m. p. h. and skimming over the heads of the players. ... . It was as hard on the Broncos as the Irish, of course.
» » - ” ” ” DON PADGETT, former slugger for the St. Louis Cardinals and the Brooklyn Dodgers, is beginning to wonder how home runs can be scored on some collegiate diamonds. Coxswain Padgett, an outfielder on the U. S. Great Lakes naval training station team, still poles tremendous drives, but the lack of fences enables the ball chasers to snare the long blows. Padgett’s biggest disappointment occurred recently at Oxford, ~ 0, when Great Lakes played Miami university. . , . He drove the ball more than 400 feet, but a Miami outfielder raced back and caught it almost on the edge of the 18th hole of a golf course

~ Now You Know About the Reds
A LETTER from Gabe Paul, the Cincinnati Reds’ press relations chief: “The Reds have had a tough time getting started be‘cause their pitching has been off: Why has the pitching been off? - Because the control has been bad. Good pitchers are good pitchers - because they can throw the ball to the enemy weaknesses with some- * thing on it. The Reds’ pitchers have as much stuff as they ever had, - and, this being the case, you can look for the men to get back into the control groove, and thus increase their general efficiency. “Yes, there is now an optimistic feeling about the whole situation in the camp of ‘the Reds, for everybody feels that things are going to get better. And, they are encouraged by improvement in the . attack. Unquestionably the Reds are a better scoring team than ~ that of last year. “Frank McCormick looks like the Frank McCormick of 1940, Bert Haas is clubbing hard and timely, and Ray Lamanno, rookie catcher, is the sensation of the season. Lamanno is a long-range thumper and, besides, he is a first-rate catcher with a shotgun arm. He's class, that boy.”

Indians Due For 4 Games With Blues
Brewers’ Late Rally Beats Tribe, 6-5
Times Special KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 9.—The Indianapolis Tribesters pulled into the home of the American associa-
tion’s new leaders today. for a fourgame stand and they found the Blues still boisterous over slapping down Louisville in a double-header at Ruppert stadium yesterday. The twin victory lifted the burly Blues into first piace ahead of the Milwaukee Brewers who were forced into second place while winning. © But they played only one game. The Brewers have won two more games than the Blues but have lost one more. The Indians are booked here for a single game today at 2 p. m,, a double-header tomorrow and a single tilt on Monday, after which they will scoot home to open night ball competition on Tuesday against the Louisville Colonels.
Brewers Rally in Ninth
The Indians had one in the bag at Milwaukee yesterday but forgot to seal said bag and the Brewers pulled out of the hole in the ninth inning with a three-run blast and walked off with the marbles, 6 to 5. It certainly was a tough one for the Redskins to lose. It was their only game in Brewerytown and they were doubly anxious to win it before shoving off for Kansas City to battle the fast-stepping Blues. When the ninth inning rolled around the Indians were leading, 5 to 3, in the lone tilt of the series. Then Ray Poat, Tribe moundsman, lost his cunning and was batted out of the box. He was relieved by Walter. Tauscher and the veteran relief hurler was charged with the defeat. - The Brewers hammered his stuff for the winning run.
Walk Starts Trouble
Hudson walked as a starter in the Milwaukee ninth, moved up on a passed ball by Pasek and scored on Gearge’s single. Tauscher relieved Poat and Gullic batted for Pitcher Blaeholder and singled. Stanky lined out to Bestudik at third and Peck singled, scoring George with the tying run. Secory delivered in the clutch with a single and scored Gullic with the wining run. Poat pitched six-hit ball until the Brewers chased him in the ninth. Milwaukee used three pitchers, Pete Naktenis, Emil Kush and George Blaeholder. The Indians scored one run ‘in the third, two in the fifth and two in the sixth. The Brewers tallied two runs in the second,/one in the third and the fatal three in the ninth. The defeat dropped the Redskins below the .500 mark. They retain third place.

Then master those essential short chips. You may be a low 80 shooter without ever having mastered the driving game. Golf involves a grooved, natural swing. Obviously, in touring a course, shooting over hazards, behind trees and from bad lies, you cannot groove a swing. Get a bucket of balls and work on a few clubs at a time. First learn what t0 do and how to do it. Then do it often enough so that it becomes natural.

CINCINNATI, May 9 (U.

Moore first was sold to the Cards’ Rochester farm club but the deal was cancelled when it was disclosed that waivers on Moore had expired. With the chances slim of getting waivers again on Moore, the Reds sold him to the Cards. But Moore refused to report until he was assured by Manager Billy Southworth in a telephone conversation last night that he get a thorough trial. Southworth convinced that Moore can win in the majors, will give him a complete mental and physical conditioning before sending him to the mound.

Field for 52d Preakness
BALTIMORE, May 9 (U. P.).—Following is the field for the 52d running of today’s $75,000 Preakness stakes over a mile and. three-sixteenths course. Horses are listed in order of post position:
Jockey E. Arcaro J. Stout J. Gilbert L. Haas J. Westrope W. Wright C. Bierman B. James W. Eads G. Woolf

as “Old Hill Top” the Greentree stable coupling of Devil Diver, who was supposed to win the Kentucky Derby, and Shut Out, who did win it, was a short-priced choice on the morning line. But here in the free state prices don’t often mean much and that was the case today.
Although the Greentree pair stood firm at 8-5, the fans flocked to the little fellow they can’t forget. He is Alsab and although he hasn’t won a race in eight attempts this season the word that swept Pimlico was “beat him and take it all.” The first call-over listed Alsab at 7-2, but that quotation was expected to drop sharply before post time at 4:55 p. m. (EWT.)
Sun Again, Doubtful Starter
That was the race in prospect as most of the experts and most of the customers saw it—the Greentree duo versus one of the greatest juveniles of all time. But others in the crowd had their opinions, too, and the simple truth was that every horse ready to go to the gate had a really. good running chance. Only one was a doubtful starter, Calumet farm's Sun Again, who was scratched last week from the Derby. For competition there were the first three Derby ° finishers—Shut Out, Alsab and the surprising Valdina Orphan. Back of these were Apache, Requested, Fair Call and Devil Diver, who ran in the Derby but not very fast. Additionally, there were three horses who didn’t
25. | go to the post at Churchill Downs—
Sun Again, Domingo and Colchis, and the last of the three was rated the best.
Arcaro on Diver
The net purse of this annual Maryland classic was fixed at $58,175 for all but Valdina Orphan, Requested, Pirst Call and Colchis— who were entered late upon payment of a special fee—and the field was the biggest since Bold Venture won in 1936. Whether it would remain at 10 was a moot point, while trainer Ben Jones, who won the Preakness with Whirlaway last year, reserved decision on Sun Again. A fog of mystery shrouded the Greentree barn. Although Shut Out, previously rated second best in the stable, won the Derby, contract rider Eddie Arcaro picked Devil Diver again today. The only change in equipment was reported by Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons, who announced Apache would run in blinkers. All horses were said to be fit when they finished their serious preparations.
The Triple Crown From the technical aspect, Shut Out had the most to win. Since he won the Derby, a Preakness triumph would establish him as the eighth horse in history to grand slam the first two jewels in the three-year-old triple crown and it also would give him a terrific lead toward the divisional championship and a chance to sweep all legs of the prize in the Belmont stakes in New York on June 6. Statistically, only two owners, two trainers and two jockeys in the field had won a prior running of today’s classic. Warren Wright, Jones and Arcaro scored last year on Whirlaway. William Woodward of Belair stud and old Mr. Fitz won with Gallant Fox in 1930 and Omaha in 1935 and have twice run second. Jockey George Woolf, who was assigned the mount on Colchis—only Maryland-bred in the race—won on Bold Venture. The track was fast for yesterday's Pimlico program. Whether it would remain fast for the big race late today is something nobody knew or could write if they did know. However, fast, slow, good or even muddy footing wouldn't greatly alter the outcome because there were no standout mudders and no horses

Cochrane Loses Service Bout
BOSTON, May 9 (U. P.).—Private Garvey Young of the marines, a southpaw with a pile-driving left, held a 10-round ‘decision over Wele terweight Champion Freddy Coche rane of the navy today and was anxious to have another go at him with the 147-pound title at stake. Young, who had the champion on the floor in the seventh, took seven rounds in winning a 10-round split" decision in Boston gardens before 6000 fans last night. Young weighed 149, Cochrane 146. The all-service bout, believed to be the first of the war, netted the navy relief society $9800. Cochrane never was able to fathe om Young's flailing left. He was floored in the seventh and his nose started bleeding after a vicious left , in the eighth. Young frequently drove Cochrane into the ropes. Cleo Shans, 129%. Los Angeles Negro, won an eight-round decision from Angelo Callura, 129, Provie dence, R. I, in the semi-final.
