BY JOHN B. KELLER. VERY big league pitcher has his particular jinx club, one | that can knock him off regu- larly, insists Bob Burke and he | is ready to believe his must be the | Red Sox club of Boston. That the stringbean southpaw of the Nationals entertains such an idea is odd for his greatest feats in base ball were accomplished at the expense of the Red Sox. A few years after he came up from Little Rock the lanky lefty got into action as a relief hurler in a Boston game and made only one pitch to get credit for vic- tory. Back in 1931 he hurled a score- less no-hitter against the Red Sox here. Since hurling that masterpiece, however, Burke has found the Red Sox plain poison. Rezardless of how good his hurling has been they have | managed "o beat him right regularly. And the beating he took from the Boston band yesterday just about con- vinced him any outfit in Red Sox uni- forms is something of which he must beware. All told. Burke has beaten a Boston club only three times since he pitched that no-hitter in "31. He thought he | ‘was about tc cast off the hoodoo of the Hubmen yesterday, though, after chucking six good sessions against them in his first effort since his eleva- vation to the Washington staff of regular turn artists. Bob felt in fine fettle and had plenty on the ball. Jinx Bobs Up in Seventh. ' A FTER two were out in the seventh | A stanza. however, the old j'nx got in his cirty work and Burke was | swept aside to be charged with the loss | of the game that ultimately went against the Nationals, 10 to 4. Burke deserved a better fate than that for he had gone about his work carefully and cautiously and actually had outpitched Lefty Grove. fireball flinger touted as fit to flip once more | as he had in his heyday with the A's. ; Over the first six rounds Bob had | yielded five hits and three runs, but | the Nationals had nicked his great | rival for seven safeties and four | tallies. Grove was not so hot. The| battle was all Burke's. It looked as if he might get through | the seventh safely, too, though Rick . Ferrell had begun the round for the Red Sox by banging a single. Solters | did nothing more than Joft a foul | that Bolton collared and Powell took | good care of Almada’s hoist. But | Powell did not take good care or' Dahlgren’s single that followed, and Bluege failed to handle decently a throw after the center fielder finally | retrieved the ball. These slips brought about Burke's undoing. So Burke Suffered. HEN Dahlgren’s hit caromed off Powell's hands Rick Ferrell | dug around to third base and | he did not hesitate there for Coach Schacht waved the runner on although by that time the outfielder had the ball on the way to Bluege, who had gone out beyond second to take the throw. A good stop by Bluege, a throw to the plate and Ferrell would | have been nailed standing up. The | inning would have been over with the | Red Sox still trailing by a run, But Bluege fumbled the return and that was just enough to get Ferrell | home. Here Bing Miller, the cagey old-timer, went up to bat for Grove. Nothing good could be pitched to him by Burie. The hurler tried to make him bite at a bad one, but Miller was too wise and drew a pass. Along came Bishop to single and the Red Sox were a run ahead. So_Manager Harris lifted Burke and Sent Al Thomas to the hill. It wasn't Thomas’ day. He was a cousin to the Boston boys, for Werber sin- | gled. so did Reynolds, and Cronin whanged one for three bases before Ferrell, up for the second time in the inning, wound it up with a high one to the center fielder. The inning had | netted the Red Sox six runs and the gan}e The jinx still was on Burke's trail. Early Scoring Drives. ! BUNTED single by Bishop, a triple | by Reynolds and Bluege's fail- ure to hold a return from Qut- fielder Stone accounted for two Red Sex runs in the opening inning. With Burke’s one-baser and Bluege's three- | bagger the Nationals got back one of | the runs in the third. but the Red Sox. with Cronin's double and Solters’ single in the fourth, again made their lead two runs. It was in the fourth that the Na-| tionals damaged Grove plenty and scored three times to go ahead. Stone | opened with a triple and got home as Kuhel bunted by the pitcher for a hit. | A double by Bolton scored Kuhel. ‘Two were out when Burke rolled one along the third-base line for a hit. ‘Then Bolton crossed when Powell poked a bunt-single to the first base- | man. | That was all for the Nationals, as they got ijust one hit off the left-| handed Rube Walberg, who hurled the | last three innings. The Red Sox,| though, got three hits off Henry Cop- | pola in their last two turns. Two off | the rookie were clustered in the ninth for a score. 0Odds and Ends.

OUISVILLE, Ky., April 20.—The long-shot players and the sure- thing boys tcok stock of the Kentucky Derby hopefuls today and decided there was plenty of room | for argument. The arguments, they agreed, may | have more to bite on one week from today, when Churchill Downs opens its Spring meeting. After the nominees | match strides in some actual racing there will be a broader base of com- | pariscn. The Derby, two weeks from today, probably will see Chance Sun, favorite since the close of his highly successful Jjuvenile season, go to the post the odds-on favorite. But from here the | race appears to be wide open. Some | of the wise boys have gcne so far as to offer a dollar or so that Chance Sun will not finish in the money.

Supporting the six-furlong feature was another three-quarter mile dash styled for 3-year-olds. Of chief interest in the Paumonok was the initial appearance of the season of Mrs. Dodge Sloane’s Psychic Bid and Mrs. Payne Whitney’s Sailor Beware, both rated high in thc future books for the Derby. Other Derby eligibles named were Dewitt Page's Dean Swift, A. C. Schwartz’s Good Flavor and Mrs. James M. Austin’s Sound Advice.

BLACK, Associated Press Staff Writer. EW HAVEN, Conn,, April 20.— As usual, Ed Leader, Yale's big, silent head crew coach, isn't doing much talking these days, but he’s smiling—and fol- lowers of the Elis’ sweep-swingers are puzzled. Except to say “the varsity and junior varsity boats are about even and it will take more work before a racing eight can be definitely settled,” Leader has been uncommunicative about the 1935 campaign, starting today against Massachusetts Tech at Worcester, Mass. The Yale coach refers all questions concerning the Blue navy to the facts, and it is the contradictory angles these facts present that are causing concern among the sons of E. They are trying to determine exactly what Leader is smiling about. The facts follow: From last year's undefeated varsity boat Yale lost John Jackson, stroke: Jim Agen, No. 3. and John Atwood, No. 5. These three figured promi- nently in the Elis’ success climaxed by a record-breaking downstream performance on the Thames last June against Harvard. Hampered by Iliness. EADER has been handicapped by illness of several candidates— the latest victim being Capt. Bill Killborne of New York—bad weather and the tardiness of some | oarsmen in reporting. | The varsity combination which | probably will represent Yale in most of its races consists of four seniors and four juniors, with a junior | coxswain. This boat is: Jim Castle, | son, N. Y,, No. 7; Ed Wilson, Brook- ! lyn, No. 6; John Bailey, Battle Creek, | Mich., No. 5; Henry Allen, Kenwood, | N. Y, No. 4; Capt. Kilborne, No. 3; | John Pillsbury, Crystal Bay, Mich., No. 2: Frank McCartney, Denver, | Colo., bow, and Joe Holmes, Pitts- | | burgh, coxswain. | Castle and Bailey alone are new- | | comers to varsity competition. Dur- ing Kilborne's absence Leader has | been experimenting with Dave Liv- | ingston of Honolulu, a senior, and | Howard Austin, Kansas City, a sopho- | | more, at No. 3.

Foxx Favors Catching Because It Keeps Him |5 In Game More, Makes Him Warm on Cool Days . BY EDWARD J. NEIL Associated Press Sports Writer. AMES EMORY FOXX, consider- able of a first baseman at one time, likes catching for the Athletics much better, but one of the reasons is hard to guess. ~ “With all that equipment on me,” he explains, “I'm about the only one on the ball fleld able to keep -warm in this cold weather. That helps a He's caught only three games of the new season, all there have been, and there has been year?” he repeated in answer to the direct question. “Well, I don’t know. Hal Trosky will get & lot out in Cleve- land. Lou Gehrig, with that short right fleld stand in New York, will hit plenty. Me? Oh, I'll get a few.” Foxx likes catching better than first basing because he feels he’s in the game more. He feels it's an ideal spot from which to captain the team, though he admits frankly that there's n? ‘Elfelfi mental gymnastics required of im. “All T do is carry orders from the e Mack.” As for hitting, Jimmie thinks he'll better last year’s 334 and will play in about 135 games behind the plate. The grind of catching isn’t liable to bother him a great deal. He weighs 185 now, is strong as a moose, and never has trouble with, his weight. He actually put on 6 pounds through the last half of the 1934 season, where the heat and tension of the pace usually knocks several pounds off every player. “I don’t expect to gain any weight this year, though,” he says. Like every,_one else in the Ameri- can League, Jimmie thinks this year's campaign will be a dog fight all the | way, with at least six clubs capable of winning the pennant with a little luck. “But here’s a tip,” he says. “Of the wpnx,mwflldm!o:.n mmm;: class than the others, have some expected, Honolulu, stroke: Ben Taylor, Harri- | Jim Dempsey, | Sin Edgar Bateson, | § - € American.

Johnson, Whitehead Also Sparkle on Mound. BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, ‘Jr., Associated Press Sports Writer. HE first outstanding pitching feat of the 1935 major league season goes to the credit of a rookie, Darrell (Cy) Blanton, strikeout king of the International League, who went to Pittsburgh last | season just in time for one losing appearance. Making his second major league start yesterday, the 27-year-old right- hander from Waurika, Okla., started throwing his fast one past the world champion St. Louis Cardinals the way | he used to do it for Albany when he | once fanned 20 rivals in one game. | He faced only 31 batsmen, granted | only one puny hit—a single by Spu | Davis in the second lnnigg——ths;:ll; | four runners reach first and none | third, out six batters and wound a 3-to-0 triumph.

Braves Twice Beaten. EFTY WATSON CLARK and Johnny Babich of Brooklyn also shared in hurling honors. Each won a 4-to-2 victory over the Braves in the Patriots’ day double-header. Clark also drove in two runs. Babich, who fanned Babe Ruth three times, got the benefit of Danny Taylor's first- irning homer, which, with the bases full, provided all the Dodgers' after- noon runs. Philadelphia teams took most of the headlines for hitting. Led by Dolpn Camilli, who banged out two homers | for a total of four in two days and | knocked in seven runs, the Phillies hammered out 23 hits and an 18-to-7 victory over the Giants. The Athletics took the home run route to a 6-to-5 victory over the Yankees that completely ruined Pat Malone’s American League debut.
