Lt. Cochrane has under his wing players from both’ major leagues, the American association, Internationdl league, Southern association, Texas, league and Three-I league. Last year the Sailors and Indians split a two-game series, Great Lakes winning here, the Indians winning at Great Lakes. Manager Ownie Bush. of the Indians said he would start Glenn Fletcher, righthander, against the service team today. Later in the season the Tribesters will play at the naval station. The Indians feel proud of their American association winning streak but they are not boasting.

HOLLYWOOD, May 29 (U. P.. —The prestige of .Luther (Slugger) White, Baltimore Negro welterweight, was dimmed somewhat today after a close decision over Julio Jiminez of Mexico City. White, a 10-1 favorite in betting, was hard put last night to keep things in his favor, waging a toe-to-toe battle the whole 10 rounds. Fans greeted the decisipn with boos and cheers. White started with a hammering: attack of body blows rocking the Mexican on the defensive. Jiminez came back in the seventh and eighth with solid left hooks to White's body and head that left the Maryland fighter walking on his heels. There were no knockdowns. White, weighing 137, took six rounds, and Jiminez, at 135, took three. Two frames were even. In the six-round semi-windup, Elwood Romero, 1162, Sacramento, scored a lightning knockout to stop, Pee Wee Lewis, 119, Detroit, in! 15 seconds of the first round.

Suburban to Be Run Monday At Belmont
By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, May 29. — Racing breaks away from the “one-hoss sway” of Count Fleet Monday with the running of the 57th Suburban Handicap at Belmont Park — the great $30,000 stake of a mile and a quarter that first was run at Sheepshead ‘Bay in 1884. Down through the yea?s, since the days when a bicycle built for two had more romantic effectiveness than the current garish cocktail lounges, the Suburban too often has bowed in its appeal to three-year-old classics like the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness, and the Belmont Stakes. But in this second year of the global war, when even the 10 or 15 per cent invested in war bonds still leaves enough lucre to be lavished in unprecedented amounts at the mutuel windows, the Suburban Handicap takes over as the No. 1 spring competition. The Suburban promises thrice the thrills of any of the three-year-old classics, including the Belmont. The Suburban field (we mean the one ‘that goes to the post) should include such stellar handicap performers as Marise Stable’s Market Wise; Greentree Stable’'s dangerous duo of Shut Out and Devil Diver; Louisiana Farm's tall but fast Riverland; Thomas H. Heard Jr.s Plucky Boysy. Don Bingo, Attention, Fleet Tola Rose, Thumbs Up, Kings Abbey, Our Boots and Bolingbroke are other entries.
Market Wise Favored
Market Wise wil be favored and carry top weight of 128 pounds. Last year this strapping son of Brokers Tip out-gamed mighty Whirlaway to win the Suburban. Hence he wil be trying to equal a record— trying to become the second horse 1in stake history to win the Suburban twice in a row. * Glen Riddle Farm's Crusader turned the trick in 1926 and 1927. Market Wise earned the favorite’s post by registering a head victory in the Ballot Handicap at Belmont last Tuesday, defeating Boysy and Shut Out. This Shut Out unquestionably is racing's biggest disappointment of 1943. The son of Equipoise—last year’s Derby victor and leading money winner, fizzed completely this year as a handicap contestant. His stablemate, Devil Diver, saved him in both the Toboggan and Metropolitan. But with no Devil Diver as reliefer, he finished last in the Ballot Handicap. However,
The Dodgers have had poor pitching, poor hitting and poor fielding, with the accent on miserable mound work. Eight pitchers toiled in the| i | series with Pittsburgh in which & [the Pirates won two games, t | Durocher was forced to put the

By LEONARD C. SCHUBERT United Press Staff Correspondent MILWAUKEE, May 29 (U.

Illinois’ * following was acquired as strong runners-up to the championship Michigan team in the Big Ten meet at Evanston on May 15. Form may easily ta haliday in this meet, how according to Marquette Athletic Director Conrad M. Jennings, co-founder of the carnival. ; Although 11 Big Ten titlists lay their laurels on the line, Jennings estimated that one-fourth of’ the competing athletes were fresh under loose wartime meet regula tions. Relaxed restrictions also have admitted several contestants with three years of college competition.
