3. Whether the loss of Terry Moore and Enos Slaughter has actually deflated the Cardinals’ batting punch to a dangerous level. 4. Whether the senators’ fine early showing is a true indicator of contending ability or just a feverish spring burst that will fade before the tough lads from the hinterland. The Yankees, who open at Chicago for three games and then stop off at St. Louis, Detroit and Cleveland in that order, have a twogame lead after winning 13 of 18 games. Their brililant early stand proved only that the Red Sox, who dropped seven of eight to the Bombers, are definitely out of the “threatening” class and that Ernie Bonham and Spud ChandleY, both of whom have won three, will probably be the two best righhanders in their loop.

Tigers Are Net Choice
GREENCASTLE, Ind, May 11 {U. P). — DePauw's defending champions remained favorites today to win the annual Big State tennis title in matches scheduled for May 14 and 15 on the DePauw | courts. Because the Big Ten fournament is scheduled for the same days, it was not known whether Indiana and Purdue would take part in the Big State meet, but even if those schools enter the Tigers will be favorites. Both the Hoosiers and the Boilermakers were defeated easily by DePauw during the season.

NEW YORK, May 11 (U. P.).—Count Fleet, who carred the colors of | Mrs, John D. Hertz to victory in both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness stakes, begins training today for an ambitious program that includes participation in the Withers and Belmont stakes. The Count arrived from Pimlico yesterday shortly after Greentree stable’'s Devil Diver carried 116 pounds to victory in Belmont Park's
opening day feature—the $5000 Toboggan handicap. A crowd of 13972 watched Devil Diver break through the field outside the furlong pole and win in the fast time of 1:10. With Regards finished second and Thumbs Up third. In sixth place was Shutout, Devil Diver's stablemate, under topweight of 130. Doublrab, Mrs. T.

Thereafter it was a duel between With Regards and Thumbs Up un'til Devil Diver charged in to take | Arst- money of $5850. He returned |87.10, $480 and $420. With Regards paid $11.40 and $8.90.

The turnout, while not up to previous opening day crowds, satisfied track officials. With New York City police and Nassau county special patrols keeping a close watch on autoists and the track parking lots closed to the public, most of the patrons arrived via the Long island railroad and a connecting bus.

DePauw Rules
Meet Favorite
GREENCASTLE, Ind, May 11 (U, P.) —DePauw university's track team, unbeaten in six dual meets, ruled the favorite today in the annual Little State meet, scheduled
for Blackstock stadium at DePauw next Saturday. DePauw already has beaten most of the schools entered in the meet by top-heavy margins. Highest score rolled up by Coach Leroy Buchheit's powerhouse was the 105-to-26 thumping handed Rose Poly. Wabash was defeated 90 to 41, and that was the closest any opponent got to the Tiger thinly-clads, Outstanding performers on the DePauw squad have been Sprinters Art Parry and Dick Seifert and Shot-Putter Jack Hendry. Parry has turned in times of 10.2 in the 100-yard dash and 229 in the 220yard dash, while Seifert recorded a 53-second performance in the 440yard dash. Hendry leads a strong field contingent, with tosses of 42 feet 10%4 inches in the shot-put and near 130 feet in the discus to his credit. DePauw swept all places in these events several times in dual meets.
X-Ray Reveals Ankle Fracture
CLEVELAND, May 11 (U. P).— An X-ray examination showed today that Mel Harder, dean of the Cleveland Indians’ pitching staff, suffered a right ankle fracture during Saturday's game in St. Louis. Dr. M. H. Castle, team physician, said the injury would keep the 33-year-old righthander out of action “for at least two months.” Harder has a record of two wins and two losses this season. Harder was injured when his spikes caught in the bag as he slid into second base during the Browns game. The fracture is at the joint, Dr. Castle said, and cannot be put into a cast until the swelling goes
down.
Quick-on-Trigger Kelly Played Like Cobb Years Ago
By HARRY GRAYSON NEA Sports Editor
CONNIE MACK calls Michael J. Kelly the Tyrus Raymond Cobb of his time. Cap Adrian Constantine Anson said King Kelly was as good a batter as anybody and as fine a thrower—from the catcher’s position or outfield, more men having been thrown out by him than any other player. Certainly, few have had the allround ability of the $10,000 Beauty of the late 80s and early "90s, and none had the off-the-field color of the quick-thinking, mustachioed frishman of Troy, who made “Slide, Kelly, S-L-I-D-E!” a byword of the game. = ” =»
Well-Dressed Man
TALL, powerfully built, darkly handsome Kelly was one of the best dressed men of his period— in tall hat, tailored suits, ultrafashionable Ascot and patent leather shoes.
He was the John IL. Sullivan of
the diamond, could drink more brandy and champagne than any man in the house, and still play a whale of a game the next day. The King was a graceful spender, consequently had many friends, fair weather and otherwise. In response to idolatrous professions of esteem, he was quick with a buck in Burtutinss
funds. He'd have broke the Bank of England. Kelly was the first player cranks, as fans were known in those days, followed on the streets.
He was the original target of autograph seekers, Kelly broke in on the sandlots of Patterson, N. J, where he worked for $3 a week. At 20, he moved to Columbus to play with a semi-professional aggregation. Cincinnati picked him up, and as the 80s began he came into renown for the first time with Cap Anson's ‘Chicago White Stockings. Kelly was the first ball player gold for and to get “important” money. Soden, Billings and Cbnant, who owned the Boston Nationals, paid the White Stockings $10,000 for him in '87, gave him $500¢ a year. Editorials were written about it. Hub cranks presented their King with a glistening horse and carriage so he could ride to the park in style Kelly, a left-hand batter, turned in an average of 388 to be baseball’s top hitter for the champion White Stockings the year before the Bostons bought him. He could circle the bases in 15 seconds, scored 120 runs. John Clarkson, with whom he formed one of the crack batteries of the day, accompanied him to Beantown. It was the King's amazing ability to do everything that Ty Cobb did 25 years later, however, which left “Slide, Kell: -1-D-BI*
Michael J. Kelly
“Like Cobb,” says Connie Mack, “Kelly never gave an infielder or catcher anything more than the tip of his toe to tag. He had all of Ty's stuff —the fadeaway, fallaway and hook slides and a few so distinctively his own that others could not copy them. “As the Washington catcher, I had the ball in my hand waiting for him one afternoon. He shouted to the one umpire who worked in those days: re ne 1
to third on a tap to the infield while the one umpire had his eyes glued on the play at first, Similarly, he would cut third in scoring from second. “Kelly came in from right field one day when we had the bases full and none out in a late inning. His old Chicago partner, Clarkson, appeared to be in trouble, but wasn't when the King shouted: ‘Let me catch him! Boston had a splendid catcher who didn’t like it, but the King steadied Clarkson, and we didn't score.” ® =» LJ
Wrote the Rules
Kelly did so many things first that he practically wrote the rules, A. G. Spalding offered Kelly $10,000 not to hop to the Players’ Brotherhood league in '80, but the King refused to “go back on the boys.” The Boston , management became fed up on his royal ment, and sent him to New York in ‘93, where he was suspended for going on a beer bust and to the races when he was supposed to be steaming himself into shape in 2 Turkish bath. 4 King Kelly was out of baseball and on the stage a year when he died of pneumonia in November, 04, at the age of 37—just in time to escape the one thing in the * world he feared—lack of funds to Play the golden boy,

Rico Boosts His Fighting Stock
HOLYOKE, Mass, May 11 (U.P). ~Chester Rico of New York today had enhanced his reputation among the nation’s top-ranking lightweights by scoring a unanimous decision over Joe Gillis of Springfield in an eight-round feature bout before a crowd of less than 1000 at the Valley arena last night. Rico, who weighed 1341, scored almost at will with a sharp left hook and outfought his opponent in the infighting. Gillis scaled 134.

Dorazio dropped a decision to Baksi earlier this year,

Gallagher of the Cubs in one of baseball's most prolonger holdouts in years and, while he has offered to compromise with his boss, Novis koff announced he would much pre= fer to play for any other club. Larruping Lou, who batted an even .300 last season while driving home 64 runs, first asked $10,000 almost double what he received in 1942. The Cubs countered with a
he would play for less than $10,000 —but not that much less. Now he is on the league's suspended list and he must apply to President Ford Frick for permission to play again even if he does come to terms.
Expect Nice Offer Now, even though Gallagher has™ issued the obvious face-saving ase gsertion that Novikoff would play for the Cubs or nobody, it would be ex ceptionally poor business not te trade Lou at this time-—especially since the Giants, berthed uncoms fortably in last place and facing their first cellar finish since 1915, will probably offer a nice bundle of cash or give the Cubs the pick of their roster with the exception of Mel Ott or Billy Jurges. The Giants, who have lost 11 of 17 games and are just one game worse off than the Cubs, seem to have suffered from a general lack of front-office activity during the winter. While most clubs strengthe ened their lineups and plugged gaps caused by the draft, the Giants re« mained strangely inactive. Now they are paying the price of that inace tivity with a team definitely facing a slot in the second division unless they swing a deal.
Lombardi Hitting Poor The last-minute snatch of Catcher Ernie Lombardi from the Boston Braves has not paid off yet, for the league's leading batter last year is not in condition and has failed te get a hit in 10 tries. Remembering this, it is exceedingly dificult for Giants’ Prexy Horace Stoneham to take a chance on Novikoff, another acquisition who would take some time to get in’ shape. But the Giants—whose true caliber was painfully indicated in Sunday's dous ble loss to the Phillies—probably will continue to lose anyhow, and Sigs Novikoff might prove a good sk. The likable slugger is a colorful drawing card and a definite asset to any club. Lou compiled minor league averages from .452 to .351 and in friendly surroundings might bloom into 6ne of the game's most destructive batsmen, Immediate action of some sort is a necessity for the Cubs. Rated as distinct contenders, the Bruins have staggered to 10 losses in 17 games, Should they compromise with Novi koff, he doubtless would have a poor season brooding over the injustice of his lower stipend. Again, if Chi cago swings an outright swap or a deal involving both cash and players, it is bound to get men ih shape for competition—and that's what they need now-—and how,
