Last season Inshore was at 3 miles and went on as easily to capture the Maryland Hunt Cup the So far as Marylanders were con- cerned, at least, that record stamped toppers in 1936, and today the Free State horsemen, gathered 7,500 strong big, bold jumper come romping home once more in front of a field of nine their past victories in cross-country racing. was in the saddle today, and after the race he said confidently that bar- anything on four legs could beat Inshore next week in the Maryland. which the winner took 18 fences, stood off every competitor and came on to Frost has sized up the situation exactly. Inshore Scores Handily. 'HE pace was not especially fast in the Little Grand National, the 3 miles and 60 yards being run in 6:40.3, but at no time was Inshore extended to hold within striking distance of the leaders and it did not seem a great trial for him when Frost sent him to the front two fences from home and asked him to stay there despite a stout challenge from Manton B. Met- calf's Tres Bon, which was second. Third place went to Stuart Janney's Justinian 2nd, which was well back of the first two. Because it attracted an unusually large field of good horses, and due to the ability of seven of them to stay hot on the pace for 2 miles and & half, the Little Grand National was R spectacular affair, one that caught the eye of every spectator attracted to hunt racing for its color as well as the steely tone of its competition. Half & mile from home the seven best horses in the race were fencing like a diminished cavalry troop charg- ing the battlements of the enemy. From that point on the tale was told, with Inshore, Tres Bon and Justinian 0 2nd coming to the fore, while the less | able horses trailed off into nothing- ness. Only one horse fell throughout the route, and the rider suffered no injury. Janon Fisher, j Priestess, which broke on top, then ran off the course and was brought back to trail the fleld, finally ended up by refusing, and Charles Cheston’s S8econd Thought, ridden by Charley White, was pulled up before the finish. Churchville Fine Duel. IN THE Churchville Cup of 2! miles, for maiden timber horses, B. H. @riswold, 3d’s, Dontara put on a great stretch run to defeat Hugh J. O'Dono- van's Justa Racket. Both horses were owner ridden and Maryland owned, and the crowd was raising glorious whoops from hillock to dale as they staged a bang-up finish, with one in front one moment, the other the next. Third place went to Nancy Patter- son’s Pete O'Donnell, handled by Henry Frost, and the unknown quantity of the contest was Benjamin Leslie's Behr's Bullard’s Promise, which set the pace in rank fashion' for 9 quite a while and then was permitted to get out of hand and lose many dengths in the last turn of the course. Perhaps the chief feature of the Churchville Cup this year was the start, & long-delayed affair wherein the jockeys and the starter held a private conference as to where they thought it would be the most fun to run the race. After about 10 minutes of talking it over, every one agreed upon a course and the starter’s flag went down to send them away flying. Summary.

RED SOX GAIN LEAD IN BEANTOWN FEUD Beat Bees, 7-5, Before Shivering Crowd—Wilson Fans First Three to Face Him, By the Associated Press. BOSTON, April 17.—The Boston Red Sox opened their two-game intra-city series with the Bees with a 7-5 victory today before 6,200 chilled | fans at the National League Park. Frank (Pinkey) Higgins started the American Leaguers on the right path in the second inning when he belted a homer into the left-field pavilion. The Red Sox put on a four-run rally in the fourth and added two more tallies in the sixth. After Jack Wilson fanned the first three Bees to face him, they piled on him for three hits, which, plus & pass and two sacrifices, resulted in three runs in the second inning. Vince Di Maggio, who struck out his first three times at bat, cleared the barrier in left field after Debs Garms singled in the seventh. The Red Sox collected 11 hits off Johnny Babich and Bob Smith and | the Bees knicked Jack Wilson and John (Footsie) Marcum for 10 bingles.

EW YORK, April 17 (#).— George Uhle, Cleveland In- dian coach who used to be & good pitcher himself, con- fessed today that he and Coach Wally Schang “haven’t taught Bob Feller much.” “But I'd no more think of tampering with the style of a kid Nke that than I'd think of teach- ing Dempsey how to box,” Uhle said. “We have tried to improve his control—not too much, because a fast-ball pitcher who is just wild enough to keep the batters foot- htxb!hu an extra advantage.” one thing,” interposed Schang, who was s catcher in the days of Eddie Plank and Chiet Bender, “we’ve shown Bob how to keep his eye on the batter all through his delivery. Last year he turned his head with his body 80 that he didn’t actually look where he was throwing until the mament of delivery. “Then there is the change of pace he's developed just this Spring. When he controls that pitch a little better, it will be & sure strike every time he throws it.

AYTON, Ohio, April 17—The Tigers staged two big rallies in as many innings today and came | from behind to defeat the Reds, 9 to 8, in the third game of an exhibition series. . The victory gave Detroit a 2-to-1 advantage in the series, which con- cludes tomorrow in the Reds’ first ap- pearance in their Cincinnati home. Making his first start since he was injured in an auto accident in Florida March 27, Al Hollingsworth held Mickey Cochrane’s men to six hits in four innings, while the Reds were lacing young Jakey Wade for four markers, Mooty replaced Hollingsworth in the fifth and yielded but one blow, Greenberg smashing a home run to score Gehringer ahead of him.

BY FRANCIS E. STAN. WO things came to an end yesterday at Griffith Stadium The Nationals shook off their batting slump and banged 10 hits off two Baltimore Oriole pitchers. The Orioles, by dint of capitalizing on errors, ended the Washington firm's three-game winning streak and made off with the ball game, 4 to 2. Nearly everything the Griffs did they dald more completely than the Orioles. Washington’s 10 hits off Dusty Rhodes and Vandenberg were two more than Jimmy De Shong gave Baltimore. Our side got more basses on balls. It even made mors boots. In fact, the only thing at which the International Leaguers excelled was getting runs, but, at press time, they still were paying off on these. Upward of 5,000 customers and “hot stove leaguers” saw the Grifls make their last local exhibition ap- pearance before the opening of the American League season tomorrow. They saw De Shong give up only one hit in the first four innings and | then, with the help of his miscueing mates, weaken and lose the best game he’s pitched this Spring. Birds Win in Eighth, WASHINGTON took a 2-0 lead in the first two innings. Buddy Lewis and Al Simmons each doubled to get the first score, and singles by Cecil Travis and Buddy Myer started the second inning. Shanty Hogan drilled into the first of two costly double-plays at this point, but Travis scored. Lewis’ error on a grounder by Pd Remorenko gave the Orioles a start in the fifth and Joe Martin doubled to whittle the count to 2-1. In the sixth the Orioles tied it on successive singles by Hoffner, Schalk and Powers. The ball game was nicely lost in the eighth inning, which opened wita Lewis bobbling Hoffner’s grounder. Schalk singled the Oriole to third and eventually both scored by way of an infleld out and a single by Abernathy. Today the Griffs will wind up their pre-season campaigning by meeting Dick Lana- Cecil Travis won't be there. Travis was spiked yesterday by Joe Martin, | trying to steal, and the chances are against his playing tomorrow in the opening American League game with the Athletics.
