With a mighty heave, President Roosevelt threw out the first ball to open the baseball season as the Wash- Yankees met at Washington, D. C.

Loop lege, or minor league farms. “What happens?” he said. “The kids play sandlot baseball under sponsorship of the American Le- gion, toward which the major leagues annually contribute a large sum. Then they go to high school, most of them, where there is no team. This causes a gap be- {ween their sandlot play and their play at college. They are (0o young as high school players Lo make the grade at semi-pro base- ball or even city amateur ball. There is a four-year period n which they get no baseball train- ing. “A major league team could provide a high school with base- ball for a hundred dollars, What they need more than anything else is playing equipment, mostly gloves and bats. Such a tie-up would prove invaluable for major league teams. “They ought commissioner CINCINNATI, April 22.— Here's one reason why some baseball writers favor Cincinnati over | Brooklyn . in this season’s National League pennant race: Take the top two pitchers cn each equad—Walters and Derrin- ger of the Reds and Wyatt and Higbe of the Dodgers (using Hig- be’s 1940 record with the Phillies). Against Brooklyn Derringer won | four games while Walters won four and lost two. Total: 8 to 2. Against Cincinnati, Wyatt won none, lost five, while Higbe won 1, lost 5. When penriant rivals are pitted !against each other each triumph lis worth two. So the margin of the Cincinnati pitchers adds up to lsome 15 games, enough difference to win several pennants. Brooklyn's counter to this sta- tistical blow is that this year is another year and that perhaps the pitchers’ records will he reversed. Navy o Get Star Gridman CULVER, Ind, April 22.—Culver Military Academy has a pleasant surprise package ready for ship- ment next fall to Major A. E. Lar- son, football coach of the U. 8. Naval Academy at Annapolis. The bundle consists of 155 pounds of dynamite on a football field— young Danny Maxson of Evansville, Ind. Maxson has been playing at quarterback on the Culver varsity for three ‘years and next fall he Ipltan.s to attend the naval academy, | where his brother, Willis, a sopho- more this year, already is playing a bangup game at end for Major | Larson’s Middies. Y | The younger Maxson had been jonly a signal-caller and blocker un- til the 1940 campaign, when Coach | Russ Oliver of Culver gave him the jall clear signal as a ball carrier. And in five and one-quarter games he gained a total of 820 yards. Breaks His Leg A broken leg suffered in the Mor- gan Park Military Academy game after he had picked up 77 yards in the first quarter, kept the Evans- ville boy out of the lineup for the | 1ast two games of the season. In addition to his ground-gaining ability, Maxson scored three touch- to hire a sort of or contact man to travel and assist high schools with their baseball program.
