A—16 = From the SPORTS. |Newspapermen Inm PREsS Box Treasury Aces for Dodgers, It Appears, Have People’s Vote By JOHN LARDNER, Special Correspondent of The Star. LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 6 (N.A. N.A)—The dynamic Dodgers of Brooklyn are exerting their wild red hook spell upon all kinds of people in all kinds of country far removed from the flowery banks of the Gowanus Canal, which lopes past Ebbets Field on its way to the sea, with a high-class consignment of used grapefruit. In other words, the rise of the Brooklyns is a national develop- ment, not local. Here in Louisville, where you expect to hear the burgh- ers talking about nothing but horses and juleps—though the juleps suf- fer at Derby time, being chain-store stuff and largely vegetable—they stop you in the street and say: “What about them Dodgers? Have they got a chance?” Baseball still would be a strong and healthy sport if the Dodgers were back in their old purlieus, in the neighborhood of sixth or sev- enth place, but the bold Brooks, under the reticent management of Leland Stanford MacPhail and Leo Durocher, have added fresh interest to’' the game by their antics up around the top. I think it is safe to say that 90 per cent of the peo- ple outside of National League towns who follow baseball are root- ing for Brooklyn to win. Louisville's Citizens Hazy About Brooklyn. In Louisville, of course, there is some practical foundation for this, because Peewee Reese, the young Dodger shortstop, is a native son and a hero of the playoffs and the little world series last year. They ask about Peewee—but I think they would be asking about the Dodgers if Peewee still were in Louisville trying to find something on his chin to shave. There seems to be considerable speculation about what sort of a place Brooklyn is. The youngest schoolchild knows that Brooklyn is & tropical island inhabited by cult- ists who speak a dialect of their own, connected with the outside world by bridges of ropes and pon- toons. It costs only 5 cents to get there from any part of the globe, since Brooklyn is joined by subway with every city from Melbourne, Australia, to Stockholm, Sweden. But does any one ever get back? |Dight during the week through Are they | Friday. Are the natives friendly? anthropophagous? Do they plan to secede from the Union? And will they burn most of New York, | Ladies and two teams of the Wash- Connecticut and New Jersey when | ington Ladies’ they win the World Series? The fact is that the citizens of gram at the Lucky Strike. Bowlers Brooklyn are as much surprised by | of the rise of the Dodgers as any one | League, including Pauline Ford, for- else, though by this time they have | mer national all-events champion, assumed an easy nonchalance and |and Mrs. Raymond (Sonny) Work- pretend that they knew all along that the team would start the year with nine straight wins. Some of the natives are slightly psychic, at that. When Tex Carleton was pitch- ing against Cincinnati the other day and did not give a hit in the first two innings, one Brooklyn radio listener offered to bet that Tex would pitch a no-hit game. “You're crazy,” said a transient who had come to Flatbush to trade glass beads for furs. “I'll bet you & hundred to one he don't.” “You got a bet,” said the prophet i posed of Clark, Justice, Bloyer and grimly, and when the day was over | he collected the full amount of the wager ($1) while pointing out to his victim that Carleton was fated to perform this feat and that every true believer anticipated it. “Aw, he was lucky,” said the visitor. He leaves a wife and two | children. Flatbush Fans Resent Outsiders’ Backing. When Cincinnati interrupted the golden streak by pouncing on Hugh Casey for eight runs in one inning the next day, there was some talk along the Gowanus of demanding an investigation by Judge Landis. ‘This project fell through when one of the people’s leaders recalled that Landis had once spoken harshly to Leo Durocher. You can't put your confidence in a man like that. However, if the Dodgers lose three games this month, it's a safe bet that their supporters will charge a plot. And they will be right, too. Something funny must be going on when the Dodgers lose three in a month. The fans of Brooklyn would be astonished to learn that so many people in other parts of the country are rooting for their team. Also, they would be sore. They do not think that they need any help. “Whose ball club is this?” is the way they feel about it along the dreamy Gowanus. Major Leaders By the Assocnted Press. \MERICAN LEAGUE.

After yesterday's orgy of high- scoring games in which a total of 122 runs and 129 hits were made by the 12 teams involved, scorekeepers and managers still were wondering how many statistical errors they had made. Two teams made 25 runs and four nines rapped out anywhere from 14 to 25 hits.

Many a team enters the tournament with little expectation of victory. It was that way considerably when The Star Leaguers entered the Brookland Recreation interleague championship series, an elimination affair, but last night taey won the title in a battle with formidable picked bowlers of the Treasury Rec- reational League. Saved in their first engagement of the series when Larry Weidman fired a 181 game at the Times- Herald Leaguers and given a struggle by the Letter Carriers, The Star team moved against the Treas- urys with no extra confidence. Treasury had waded through stiff opposition to reach the final in downing the Capital Transit and Western Electric teams. Triumph by 44 Pins. With a count of 1,756 the Star team handily rode to the champion- ship by a margin over Treasury of 44 pins. Games of 585, 636 and 535 were chalked up as Charley Murray came through with 140—366; Hoke Bailey, 343; Lannie Blaine, 383; Larry Weidman, 333; Charlie Hol- brook, 226, and Bill King, 105. Trail- ing by 98 pins at the end of the sec- ond tilt with games of 570 and 553, the Treasury quint went down swinging with 589 to pick up 54 pins in the last skirmish. Besides Dick Reeley, who was high with 366, the losing team was com- Fisher. While the fair rollers are ushering in their record 19th annual city tournament of 102 teams, 140 doubles and 256 singles, the third and final week of the Men's Washington City Duckpin Association will get under- way at the Arcadia.

PHILADELPHIA, May 6.—Nine- teen horses, including crack timber- toppers from England, France and Ireland, have been entered for the twenty-second National Hunt Club steeplechase at the Radnor Hunt Club Wednesday. The field includes Didoric, which started several times in England’s Grand National Steeplechase at Ain- tree; Bucheur, reputedly the best hurdler in France; Fillip 2d, winner of several important races in Eng- land; Frazen North, a 4-year-old Irish-bred horse that is undefeated in three starts, and Ad Lib, 1938 |%it winner of the Foxcatcher National. The cup, valued at $1,500, is the principal prize, as the purse is only $1,000. The trophy is the original which has been raced for since 1909 and must be won three times for permanent possession.

Lady Avon kept at the head of the class by placing second yesterday in the second race of the spring series held off Alex- andria. ‘The 5-mile event, one of six classes sailed, was won by Dr. Albert Pagan in his Kan Doo. His time was 56 minutes and 39 seconds. Lady Avon’s choice position atop the heap was explained by the fact that last week's winner toppled yesterday, while the leader was well above its score of the week before. Lady Avon, meantime, sailed the middle way. Like the 20-footers, the little penguin dinghies drew out eight starters that sailed a 1-lap course. ‘Winner by only 12 seconds was Ralph Youngs’ Sea Biscuit, hard pressed by Don Kanode in the Anneke Jan.

So far Anacostia is the lone team to miss winning, having lost in 10 00 | innings to Tech and bowed without a run to Eastern. A defeat today for Western would throw it into a triple tie for fourth place with Tech and Wilson.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., May 6. —Dean of college boxing and prob- ably .its most successful coach, 73- year-old John 8. Larowe was dead today and the University of Virginia had lost one of its grander traditions. Victim of an sbdominal ailment, Larowe died here yesterday after failing to throw an {llness that sent him to the hospital for an operation a month ago. Coached From Wheel Chair. Honorary president of the National Intercollegiate Boxing Coaches’ Association, Larowe piloted his teams from a wheel chair after a serious 1{llness in 1936 left him crippled. Larowe led the Cavaliers to seven undefeated seasons and 7 out of 10 Southern Conference championships before Virginia left the conference. In 19 years at Virginia his teams compiled & record of 78 dual meet victories against 24 defeats and 9 ties. He developed 15 Southern Con- ference champions and 4 national collegiate titleholders. Put Sport on High Plane. He organized the first intercol- legiate boxing squad in the South for Virginia in 1921 and elevated the sport to a high plane. Surviving are his widow, one son, John H. Larowe of New Melle, Mo.; one daughter, Mrs. Alton Stephens of Quinque, Va., and several grand- children. A brother, Frank Larowe, died at Hillside, Md., last week.

Covelli to Seek Scalzo’s Crown In 15-Round Feather Battle At Ball Park Next Week Process of elimnation today made " | Prankie Covelli, veteran Brooklyn fi scrapper, Promoter doe Turner’s choice as the foe of Petey Scalzo when the National Boxing Associa- tion’s version of the world feather- weight champion makes the first defense of his newly-awarded title at Griffith Stadium on May 15. Regardéd on the list of eligibles were Jimmy Perrin, Simon Chavez, Harry Jeffra, Covelli and Jackie ;‘Viléon, rated in that order by the Perrin, named as world feather- | weight champion by Louisiana’s commission, already had rejected an offer from Turner, while the cost of importing Chavez from Venezuela was prohibitive. Jeffra wasn’t considered, having signed to swing against Joey Archibald at Baltimore later this month for the New York and Maryland branch of the championship. So it will be Scalzo vs. Covelli for 15 rounds or less and that attrac- tion is calculated to appeal. Co- velll, a seasoned campaigner, has advanced rapidly in the past six months, whipping Al Mancini, Sixto Escobar and Leo Rodak, among others with chnmplonshlp aspira- tions. Scalzo, who holds a knockout con- quest over Alchibald, but who has been beaten by Chavez, was award- ed the N. B. A. title recently as the aftermath of the wholesale scramble in the featherweight situation, cre- ated when Archibald refused tb de- fend the crown stripped from him against what the N. B. A. considered a logical contender. The fight, incidentally, will test the appetite of local ring fans. Two days before Turner’s promotion, Jorge Brescia, South American heavyweight, will clash with Tommy Tucker of New York at Riverside Stadium. Unable to Run With Sore Neck, Budge Victim of Drop Shots Drop-shots, fed to a sore-necked champion who couldn’t run to get them, gave Columbia Country Club’s tennis professional, Buddy Goeltz, a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Don Budge yesterday, but naive is the local net fan who believes today that Goeltz would stand a chance against a Budge in trim. But because he didn't want to back out of the exhibition and be- cause, at the same time, he didn’t want the spectafors to think he was laying down on the job, Budge had an announcement made before the match that “something had snap- ped” in his neck yesterday morning and that he had just come from an hour and a half’s treatment by an osteopath. As an exhibition, the match was 8 farce with Budge standing on the backline and Goeltz continually piling up points with drop-shots which fell just over the net. Budge fulfilled his moral obligation to Columbia guests by teaming with Bobby Bensinger, local boys’ cham= plon, to defeat Goeltz and Reggie ::o‘oper of St. Albans School, 6-3, _— McBain Wins Mound Duel With both pitchers hurling 3-hit ball, Ryan's Tavern softball team nosed out P.
