SPORTS. THE. EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1940. SPORTS. A—17 Astor Clarke, Surpassmg All-Time High Bowling Average, Suddenly Blows Up ¢ The SPORTLIGHT How Big League Races Look to Globe Gazer By GRANTLAND RICE, Special Correspondent of The Star. NEW YORK, April 15 (NANA).— Now that a new baseball season is on the verge of coming into bloom again, there possibly are a number of clients who woula like to be carried from young April into the closing days of September The main purpose of this quick voyage will be to see the standings ot the clubs on closing day—not opening day. Here is your correspondent’s surge into the future, as the future looks: American League. No. 1—New York Yankees, by & much closer margin No. 2—Boston Red Sox, with a fighting chance. No. 3—Cleveland Indians, with Bob Feller. No. 4—Detroit powerhouse tribe. No. 5—Chicago White Sox, may finish fourth. No. 6—Washington Senagors, slightly improved. No. 7—Philadelphia Athletics, still on green side. No. 8—St. Louis Browns, in the old homestead. Tigers, the National League. No. 1—St. Louis Cardinals, by an eyelash. No. 2—Cincinnat! Reds, just about as good. No. 3—Brooklyn Dodgers, im- proved over last year. No. 4—Chicago Cubs, due for better luck. No. 5—Pittsburgh Pirates, may finish higher. No. 6—New York Glants, hardly ready for long route. No. 7—Boston Bees, not enough punch. No. 8—Philadelphia Phillies, the day’s best bet. No Sign of Waning Ambition Noticeable in Yankees The Yankees have been good | enough to win going away, by killing | margins year after year, and if they are slipping so are the Rockies. They have the pitching and the punch, are a great defensive team, have all needed replacements, have youth and experience. 1 can see no sign of any waning am- bition. They have the fellows who can make runs and the fellows who can kill off runs. Most of the squad still is on the youthful side. They have Dickey, Di Maggio, Gordon. Rolfe, Crosetti, Keller and several more, and most of these are stars. The Red Sox will be stouter chal- lengers. Give them Dickey and you'd see more trouble. But who is going to give them Dickey? They also have star ball players in Ted Williams, Cronin, Foxx, Doerr and others. But I don't think they are quite ready yet to yank the ‘Yankees off the treetop. Cleveland should finish third, with Bob Feller facing probably his greae- est year. Sheer power should carry Detroit into fourth place. It will be a rough outfit for any set of pitchers to face. Quite a bit here will depend on Gehringer's condition, one of the great ball players of ali time. Dykes Might Hustle Chisox Into Upper Division Jimmy Dykes may swing his White | Sox into the first division, but it will take a gallant thrust to accomplish this. Mr. Mack’s Athletics still are an uncertain quantity. He has some good young talent, but it still needs more seasoning. His team may move up a notch, but I can't see them much higher than seventh. ‘The Browns will be a better ball elub. But they still have a long way to-go. ‘The Yankees and Red Sox still are the two top teams in baseball, with something to spare. But the Yankees have too big an edge back of the bat with Dickey and Rosar and they have a bit too much quality on the defensive side. Rosslyn Rush Halled As Star Goes Into 0dd Tail Spin Luckies Snare 4 of 6 Games to Give Chevy Chase Title Chance There still is a mathematical pos- sibility today for the runner-up Chevy Chase team to win the Men's District Duckpin League chame pionship, but for this to happen * | the pace-setting Rosslyn team must lose all its remaining nine games while the crack Connecticut avenue club is sweeping the two matches left on its schedule. Chevy Chase's ray of hope bright- ened last night as the Rosslyn team went into a tailspin at the Lucky Strike by losing four of six games in a double-header to the Lucky Strikes and meeting its first wash- out of the season. But more astonishing to the ca- pacity gallery on hand to watch the greatest scoring combination ever assembled was the suddenness of a toboggan ride taken by Astor Clarke. Clarke Puts on Show. As Clarke shot 141 for his first game and Rosslyn smothered the Luckies, 616 to 572, the crowd set- tled back to enjoy watching prob- ably the greatest duckpin bowler of all time and a remarkable team go through its paces. In the second game Astor treated it to a 146 effort and Rosslyn won, 639 to 634, with his wallop just the needed edge for victory. His machinelike pounding on the maples netted him only 124 in the third game and the Luckies sneaked over a win by three pins, 575 to 572. The Nation's No. 1 bowler had counted 411, the 27th on his growing all-time record list of 400 sets for a | season. At this point Clarke had amassed an average of 131-56 for 66 games. His mark was 13 pins higher than the all-time national record held by Nick Tronsky. Fighting back, the Luckies paced by El Geib’s 154 and Red King's 160 overwhelmed the invaders, 664 to 603 as the nightcap battle opened. Clarke had banged out 128 as he aimed for another second 400 set. Astor Suddenly Subsides. But whatever design he had on shooting another set in the charmed circle faded fast as he began to chop, pick and miss. At the end of the session Clarke had shot 99, his first game in the District loop this season under the 100 mark. As Rosslyn went down for a 3-0 loss, Clarke struggled to top off a 330 set with a 103 effort. His average for 69 games had tumbled to 130-62 Geib’s 423 and John Chaney’s 392 | featured the Luckies’ notable sweep. In two other District League en- gagements Georgetown Recreation batted out a 2-1 win from Arcadia and Mount Rainier took Brookland into camp by the same edge. Sam Benson, with 415, and Joe Di Misa, the Westend's newest star, with 403, paced the victory. Lou Jankins of the losers topped the match with 163—437. Georgetown turned in 623, 609 and 606 against 592, 656 and 581 for invaders. Hugh Crawley’s 410 was tops in the Mount Rainier victory. Brannon, Neiderstrausser Win. Mike Brannon and Ed Nieder- | strausser with 723 were the winners | of the Navy Yard blind pig mixed doubles last night at the Luck: Strike. Their prize was $15. Keller Nugent and Tom Sarelas with 721 were the runners-ups for a $7 prize. Other winners were Lem Walker- ‘Wade Koontz, 711 ($7); Hugh Craw- ley-Bill Frye, 701 ($4); George Her- bert-Gus Wuneberger, 152 each ($3), and Milton Reigelman, 375 ($3). The wind-up match between the Ollie Pacini All-Stars and a selected team of the Hebrew League will be staged tonight at Convention Hall. The latter outfit enters the fray 39 pins ahead.

Becomes First Capital Man in Years Placed On Major Committee For the first time in several years a representative Washington golfer has a position on one of the im- | portant committees of the Unlted‘ States Golf Association. Robert Stead, jr., golf chairman‘ at the Chevy Chase Club, is on the Committee on Sectional Affairs of ! |the U. S. G. A. for 1940, according to the list of committee appoint- ments announced by the national links body. Also on the committee, representing Maryland, is Robert McLean, jr., of Baltimore. Stead’s appointment comes about as a result of insistence of the Dis- trict of Columbia Golt Association on appointment of a local man on an important U. S. G. A. committee, and the coincidence that this atti- tude came along at the same time the U. S. G. A. decided to broaden the scope of its committee work by including representatives of States.

Out of the lengthy list of com- mittee appointments announced to- day Francis D. Ouimet of Boston, first amateur to win the open cham- pionship—back in 1913—and later twice winner of the amateur title— emerges as the fair-haired favorite for committee work.

Although this game—antl the sev- enth next Tuesday if it is needed— will be played on the Maple Leafs’ own ice and the Toronto players are considerably fresher than the New Yorkers, there was no denying the fact that the Rangers needed only one victory to end the series. ‘This was good enough for the odds makers.

W. Leach, dog show super- intendent of Minneapolis, held one of his kennel clinics. Leach has beer conducting these symposiums all over the country in addition to 11l | superintending about two shows a month in the Southern and Mid- western States. While Leach touched on a num- ber of topics of general interest to the breeder of dogs, his main theme was the education of the public as to the value and services of the pure-bred dog. He pointed out that an educational process was going on all the time. While it took exactly half a century to get 1,000,000 dogs registered in the stud books of the American Kennel Club, at the pres- ent rate of registration, the second million would be registered in some- what under 10 years. This accelera- tion of the ownership of pure-bred dogs is largely due to conscious and unconscious educational forces at work. Ribbon System Explained. 'To illustrate his talk, Leach had a series of large posters and placards. One of especial interest was a life- exterior parts labeled. Another chart graphically explained the system whereby ribbons are awarded at dog shows. Perhaps two of the most interest- hearers were that the C. D.

NEW YORK, April 13 (NAN.A). —Wendell Willkie, the Republican dark horse, better had stay clear of Anthony Galento, horse of a differ- ent color from Orange N. J. Mr. Willkie annoyed Anthony no little the other day with his remarks about the presidential nominations this year. Mr. Willkie said he hoped that President Roosevelt would get the Democratic nomination to run against the Republicans, because: “We want to beat the champ,” said said Mr. Willkie. “We don't want to beat Tony Galento.” Tony, now on a refereeing tour, sputtered in his beer when he read those words. Carefully placing his stein on the bar, he yelped definance, “That kind of crack is uncalled for!” shouted Mr. Galento. “At least, nobody has called for it yet.” The spherical heavyweight went ~ on to say that the difference be- tween himself and the champion is purely one of hue, shade, or tint, Declares Democrats All Set If They Can Find a Galento “I'm no ham-and-egger,” con- tinued Anthony. “I put the cham- pion on the floor, didn't I? If hed of had sense enough to stay there, I would be the champion instead of him. I don't like cracks from Re- publicans. I don’t know any Re- publicans, but if I did, I would oust them from my place of entertain- ment so fast they never would know what hit them. “If the Democrats can find & man as good as Tony Galento, they're in. They don't need the champ. If thev get a man like Galento, they will run those Republicans right back to Russia where they came from. And | you can tell Mr. Willlams I said so.” | said Mr. Galento, confusing the | name in his boyish zeal. If Tony is hazy about politics, he is clear about defending his own prestige. For want of a better man, he will defend same against Max Baer on May 28 in Jersey City, and Mr. Galento is confident that on that | occasion he will establish himself | once more as the principal menace to Joseph Louis.

I | think the best thing to do is put him |in blinkers and stuff his ears with cotton. Then nothing can happen to him till I crucify him.” Common humility prevents me from reporting the details of what Mr. Galento will do to Mr. Baer. They are matehed in atrocity only by what Mr. Baer will do to Mr. Galento. Naturally, I am taking their respective words for it. They never have lied to me except when I asked them a question. Since there is nothing interesting lurking in the near future for Joe Louis—even the best friends of Arturo Godoy cannot see Godoy | clouting the champion with a clout he fails to possess—the Baer= Galento scrap takes rank as the No. | 1 fight show of the outdoor season.

The Cardinals and Reds are close to a toss-up. Bill McKechnie needs much more help for his two star pitchers than he got last year. Der- ringer and Walters are two of the best in baseball, but Thompson, ‘Whitey Moore and Vander Meer, plus some rookie, must come to their aid. The Cardinals, a young team last year, came from 14 games back after 8 slow start to make a pennant bid in late September. You must admit they have beel none too hot this spring. But a big league race is something different. If they all pile in and give the best they have, the net result should | be enough to win. They have a strong combination of youth and ex- perience in their pitching staff—and they have Mize and Medwick. Pennant Chances Appear Nil For Six Other N. L. Clubs 1 can’t figure any other pennant possibilities from the other six clubs. Brooklyn, Chicago and Pittsburgh should be well bunched. There is little to choose here. Frisch will make the Pirates dangerous. I still like the rating I suggested above. I can't figure the Giant infield getting any too far. Nor the Giant outfield. The Giants may get away nicely. They are quite apt to do so. But I don't believe they can hold any hot pace after June or July. There are t00 many weak spots on Terry's club—too many fading veterans. Anything can happen in this feague for the first few weeks. After that I expect to see the Reds and Cardinals gradually pull away—not too far, but far enough to carry one of these teams into another world series. If there are any startling upsets to be recorded, they don't show on the past performance charts. Both Jeagues have been slightly improved. But I can see no rookies coming along to take the ‘places of Ted Wil- liams and Charley Keller, who should be something to watch this spring and summer, e main idea will be to keep the ‘Yankees away from their fifth con- segutive pennant and fifth consecu- tive world series. Which is not my 1dea of any soft-coated assignment. A Cubs and Chisox Try Again fo Open Play For City Honors By the Associated Press.
