Sports News Rival Clubs Blotted From N. L. Picture as No-Hitter Brightens Dodgers’ Glare Win, Lose or Draw By FRANCIS E. STAN. Some Stray Angles Behind Some News Items Pro Grid Coaches Meet in D. C.—And a routine .meeting it was, too. The boys simply sat down, spanned the stretch between soup to ice cream, and wrote on individual slips of paper the names of officials ac- ceptable to them. “Why are football meetings so dull?” we asked Steve Owen, coach of the New York Giants. “Nothing ever happens. Baseball clubs trade players. Why isn't there ever a trade in the football league, like a swap of Tuffy Leemans for Andy Farkas?” “There are two reasons,” Owen said. “First of ai!, football players are different from ballplayers. They know their careers are highly limited. Almost all of them talk of quitting after ‘one more year’ and going into business or finding a job. They use a few seasons or pro football to build up a nest egg, then go after something permanent. “Suppose I was offered Farkas for Leemans? Or Ray Flaherty. was offered Leemaas for Farkas? We'd both be afraid to make the deal. For instance, I'd have no way of knowing that Farkas will play football. I understand he wants to teach biology and coach. Ray wouldn't know about Leemans, either. Tuffy has a laundry business, you know, “The second reason is the college draft. Here is a steady stream of great college footbail players pouring into pro football at no cost. Why should a coach who needs a blocking back try to trade for one belong- ing tc a rival team—and giving up a valuable player of his own—when he can draft half a dozen of the finest blocking backs in big-time college foothall?” A Curse on the Most Famous Brother Act Bildilli of Browns Beats Yankees, 2-1.—Emil Bildilli is a little left- hander with a curve ball. His high, hard one wouldn't go through a wet paper bag. He pitched last year in the Texas League, after previously failing to stay with the Browns. These can't be the same Yankees, not if Bildilli holds them to two | hits. Not if Chubby Dean of the A's beats 'em twice running. And Ken | Chase, giving 10 walks, hitting a batsman and throwing a wild pitch. ‘ They’re not the same Yanks because Joe Di Maggio is out of the | game and it is interesting to note that missing from the Red Sox line-upf has been Dominic Di Maggio, the little brother, and out of the Reds’ line-up | has been Vince, the big brother, Leg injuries are plaguing all three of the boys. Here is the most famous brother act in baseball history . . . and here is a three-man act plagued by a curse. The Di Maggios, from top to bottom, are brittle. All of them can field, run and throw. All can hit home runs. But they are like three Achilles. Dominic sprained an ankle in one of the Red Sox's early games and has played only twice in championship competition so far. Vince hurt his leg in Florida, too, and lost his chance of winning a regular inb. Rookie Mike McCormick got it. Joe loosened a cartilage and tore a liga- ment en route north and, for the fourth time in his five years in the majors, he failed to start a season. A Rumor Is Denied by Mr. Gabe Murphy Blozis Wins Two Penn Relay Events.—The usual prizes, gold watches, | went to Georgetown's big athlete for his triumphs in the shotput and the discus. To Georgetown went more publicity. Not since Tony Plansky, perhaps, has a Hilltop athlete brought more publicity to the school. Around town now they are saying that Blozis will be held out of football (he's a tackle and all-America timber), because the Blue and Gray brass hats are afraid to risk him. Blushingly, we carried the ques- tion to Graduate Manager of Athletics Gabe Murphy. “First T heard of it,” Mr. Murphy said. “I say it's silly. It wouldn't be fair to the boy. He likes football and to keep him away would be | home run, a triple and a single for Che WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1940. Haynes'Hurling, Club’s Slugging Joy to Harris Joe Third Griff in 4 Games to Go Route As Bengals Fall With six wins in their last seven games the Nationals todpy found themselves tied for third place in the American League and only two games out of the lead. At this early stage of the season not much im- portance can be attached to standing but far from unimportant is Joe Haynes. Joe is the tall, right-handed pitch- ing sophomore who had been getting his ears pinned back consistently all spring, dating from the early exhi- bitions in Florida. Today he held his first victory, a 9-to-4 decision over the Tigers. More than that, Joe became the third Washington pitcher in the last four games to go the route. And only the fourth during the season! Haynes has pitched better games than his nine-hit performance in the opener of the three-game Detroit series. In early stages he was wild. He walked three straight hitters in the first inning but escaped un- scathed when Jimmy Pofahl turned | in a great play for him. New Hit Mark Set. In the third he gave, in order. a two runs. But he gradually im- proved and though he tired toward the finish he had proved himself a pretty fair sort of a pitcher. His performance came as a great relief to Manager Bucky Harris. Our pilct was beginning to wonder about Joe. As the Nats prepared to face the‘ Tigers again today, with Al Hollings- vorth opposing Buck Newsom, they did so with a feeling that, at long last, they are ready to make it tough on enemy hurlers. Zeke Bonura still is so out of shape that he can't be counted upon to hit much but, with Zeke contributing nothing, the Nationals still tied their previous run-making mark yesterday and set a new hit record by pounding Tom- my Bridges and Dizzy Trout for 13, including a double and two singles by Gee Walker, who also scored three runs, batted across four and stole third base. o Walker Is No. 1 Hero. an injustice.” % If you aren't a cynic this should be good enough. If it's & cynic you | are, the no-football rumor still is no good for a different reason. Aside | fromg sparing Alfred’s ruffied feelings, as portraited by Mr. Murphy, t Georgetown can make good use of Blozis by using him for football. The | Hoyas are on the high grid road and hope to get higher. It's nice to be | the world champion shot-putter but, to a%ollege, an all-America tackle is more valuable, especially if he can help toward unbeaten seasons, which mean big gates and, in Georgetown's case, that McDonough Field House. | As far as we know nothing as pretentious as the Rose or Sugar Bowl | has been dedicated to shot-putters and we'd hate to have to hold our breath until it's done. Baer-Galento Fight Was Off Anyway Galento-Baer Battle Postponed—It was scheduled for May 28, but | it develops that a sentimental side in Tony has been unveiled. He says | the death of Joe Jacobs, his manager, has disturbed him so seriously and disrupted his training routine that he can't be in shape before July 2, the new date. It’s entirely possible that Two-Ton has a sentimental side. There are | enough sides to Galento to accommodate practically everything. But even if Jacobs were alive today it would have been even money the date would have been changed anyway. Mr. Galento, led on a leash by Yussell, happened to be touring the deep South at the same time the ball clubs were in Florida. We dropped around to see Tony one night. The Baer fight was approximately five weeks away and Tony, as far as conditioning was concerned, was about 10 weeks off. That is, it was provided he had put his stein on the table with finality and sworn off until after the Baer bout. Carleton Gets Red Fans’ Cheers |,z For No-Hitter, Giving Dodgers Record-Tying 9th in Row By the Associated Press. o CINCINNATI, Ohio, May 1.—Tex Carleton, discarded by the minom only months ago as an apparent “washout,” looked at the world to- day from the heights of no-hit baseball fame. The tall, curly-haired 33-year- old refugee from the American As- sociation pitched the undefeated | Brooklyn Dodgers to a 3-to-0 tri- umph over Cincinnati yesterday be- | fore 10/44¢ Ians who were with| him almost to a man, If any there were who cried “They can't do that to our Reds” they didn't have much chance to be heard. : The 10,544 cheered Milkman Jim Turner, late of the Boston Bees, who in eight innings allowed but four hits. But soon after Pete Cos- carart lofted one over the left- field wall in the fifth for a three- run homer, fans suspected they might. see the realization of a pitch- er's dream. They applauded the Reds—but yelled and cheered the Texan's every move. X Aside from tying a modern major league record in giving his team its ninth straight game at the start of the season, there was poetic justice in Carleton’s performance. ‘Walking two and striking out four, he gave the Reds a dose of the med- icine they administered to the Dodg- ers June 15, 1938, when Johnny Van- der Meer pitched the second of his twin no-hit, no-run games. That, incidentally, was the last previous no-hitter hurled by a National Leaguer. Carleton, formerly with the St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs but sold down river to Milwau- kee and unconditionally released last year, conceded “it makes me feel great,” but said he didn’t realize until the eighth that I might have a no-hitter.” “From then on,” he grinned, “I counted every pitch. “Starting from the dugout to [} pltch the ninth, I asked (Coach) Charley Dresden if he thought I cottid make_it. “‘Sure,’ he told me, ‘you're a cinch. Go in there and get it over with’” Lippy Dyrocher, Dodger manager, shared his.Club's elation, but avoided ; predigmon& “I'm mighty glad to see him come back@ he said. “What a- game he | pitched!” In Hurling the’ second no-hit, no- run game & the season—just two weeks to a day since Bobby Feller turned the trick for Cleveland in the opener against the Chicago White Sox—Carlton threw 92 pitches. Four men faced him in® eacl? of three innings as a result of his two Walks | T; and Dodger errors, and the rest of the time the Reds went out one- two-three. ‘This batting uprising, plus Haynes’ performance, made for sweet gpusic, to Harris’ ears. In the last four games Ken Chase, Dutch Leonard and Haynes have finished what they've started. This is something the Washington pitchers hadn't been able to do for seven games before these. The Nats overcame that 2-0 lead the Tigers built up in the third in- ning by scoring four runs in the fifth, a rally featured by Walker's double with the bases loaded. An- | other run was added in the sixth, | another in the seventh, and the| thing put on ice in the eighth with a three-run splurge. Haynes gave only six scattered hits in the last six innings. He walked two but fanned three. F.E 8. G.

Irish Make Comeback at Notre Dame With O’Briens, Kellys Deans to Face When Cubs Visit Giants; Hurler Wins First Game in 17, but Is in Showers at Finish By EDDIE BRIETZ, Associated Press Sports Writer. NEW YORK, May l.—Bime- lech’s stall at Churchill Downs is guarded by two special coppers 24 hours a day. The Irish are making a fine comeback at Notre. No fewer than four O'Briens and two Kellys are among the flank candidates. Giant stock has sunk so low here that for the first time in years and years one of the big N.

Mebbe he didn’t know the West Virginia sports writers were cru- sading against “furriners” who slip into the State and skim the cream of the football talent. Anyway, Walker arrived in Mor- gantown last Week, unannounced and unarmed. He registered at the same hotel where Bill Kern, West Virginia coach, puts up. Then he fared forth and in less in the winter books—at 132-1. time than it would take to call the cops, had talked two Morgan- town High stars into matriculat- ing at Wake Forest. Names: Andy Demao, all-State guard for two years and Warren Sypolt, 200-pound center. No justice dept. After losing 17 in a row, pitcher Pete Harder of the Columbus Red Birds, broke into the win column—but wasn’t around to see it. St. Paul shelled Pete off the hill in the eighth, but Columbus rallied and went on to win.

Destiny’s Dodgers are so hot they're setting the National League on fire and the glare is so bright that the other clubs are blotted out of the picture. Nine straight victories, climaxed by a no-hit pitching performance from a 33-year-old Texas cowhand who almost decided to quit baseball last winter and stay at home on the range, show that Brooklyn is taking baseball seriously and will have to be taken seriously. Winning streaks aren't always lucky. The only other club to win nine in a row at the start of the season in the last 50-odd years—the New York Giants of 1918—finished second. Winning streaks sometimes are put together with luck and the Dodgers’ wasn't. They simply have over- whelmed every foe they have met. Tex Carleton’s no-hit 3-0 masterpiece against Cincinnati yvesterday pointed up the fact that Brooklyn pitchers have allowed only 63 hits and 14 runs in 9 games. Knock Homer a Game. The homer that Pete Coscarart hit with two on in the fifth to score all the runs of yesterday's game kept intact the Dodgers’ average of a home run for every game since the start of the season The St. Louis Cardinals were rained out against the Giants ves- terday. but the Pittsburgh Pirates were beaten for the fourth straight time, 6-2, by the Phillies, who piled | up 11 lusty hits, and the Chicago Cubs had an 8-7 squeeze to win in 10 innings from the Bees.
