WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28, | Browns, Cubs 0f Chicago Ridil_]g‘ High REICHLER Tomorrow the beautiful dream may be over for the St. Louis Browns and Chicago Cubs, but to- day the Major Leagues' two “ugly ducklings” are riding high. The standings show the Browns and Cubs, generally tabbed as the 1948 cellar-dwellers, perched in second place in their respective leagues. { Each club has a winning streak of three games still alive. | The Browns whipped the De- troit Tigers for the second straight win in six starts, ‘The Cubs knocked off Ewell Blackwell and the Cincinnati Reds, 7-2, for their fourth triumph in seven outing Continuing their terrific ext base clouting, the New York Giants shellacked the Philadelphia Phils, 7 to 1, behind the three-hit fling- ing of Larry Jansen. The Braves made it twe in a row over Brooklyn as Charley (Red) Barrett limited the Dodgers to six hits in pitching, Boston to a 3-2 victory. Bob Elliott, the league’s most valuable player last seasqn, drove in all Boston runs with a homer and two singles off Rex Barney. It was the Dodgers’ third straight defeat. The New York Yankees back the Philadeiphia 4-2, Three games, two in the Ameri- can and one in the National| League, were postponed because of rain. By JOE turned Athletics S AP SPORTS ROUNDUP By HUGH FULLERTON JR. NEW YORK, April 28.—(#—When the Cardinals beat the Cubs, 1-0, in bicago's National League opener, two left-handers, Harry Brecheen and Johnny Schmitz, just wrecked the old theory ' that southpaws are wild Schmitz made 100 pitches to 31 Cardinal batters and missed the plate only 33 times. Harry the Cat heard the ump holler “ball” only 32 times in 103 throws to 36 Cuks. Galedo, Charles O'Neil's possible Derby starter, one of those thor- oughbred rarities, a twin. The colt's twin sister died a week after foaling. Hal Swanson, Bucknell U. pitcher,| is believed to have set a new college record for strikeouts the other day when he whiffed 17 Albright bats- ! men. That's surprising, since Buck- nell once had a pitcher named chridty Mathewson. | Ken Jones, the Peoria, Ill, Jour- nal-Transcript sports editor, finally is convinced that his boy Bobby, is cut out to be a pitcher. Hurling against Decatur, Bobby turned in a two-hitter, then went back as a reliever and fanned eight in 2 2-3 innings. The next morning he looked at the box scores found that his dad's paper hadn't credited him with a hit he had made. Botby howled: “Dad, I need those hits. It's serious.

The following year Requested was Alsab’s chief rival in the battle | spring, My Request made it three in a row for the year when he took the Experimental Free Handicap No. 2, a test of one mile and a Sixteenth, by four lengths. He cculd have won by a greater margin had Jockey Eddie Arcaro ridden him out Arcaro, who rode My Request in the colt’s four stake wins last sea- m and in both Experimentals this spring, will not have the Whitaker blue and white silks in the Derby. ‘The Italian star is down to pilot Citation The o time Citation and My Request met was in the Futurity Trial at Belmont last September. On that occasion My Request ran a dismal race, finishing seventh in a field of 14 although favored at even money. Citation at 2 to 1, beat him by four lengths. Veteran horsemen feel Request definiteiy will te Citation's compctition in the Derby. And if something should happen to Cita- tion it's likely that Ben Whitaker will go out and name his newest oil well “My Request.” ->o FIRED STEWARD KEEPS SHIP IN PORT SIX DAYS SEATTLE, April 28.—(®—The Li- berty ship Christopher Flannagan still was tied up here today—six days after its scheduled departure—he- cause cf a dispute cver a dismissed steward The freighter, loaded with 5,500,000 board feet o1 lumber for the Atlantic coast, was to have sailed last Fri- day.
