Helps Sagging Central Stay at Top of High School Series From the Press Box Chowder Club Refuses To Quit.on Bimelech By JOHN LARDNER, Special Correspondent of The Star. NEW YORK May 11 (NANA). —This is just a short note to asso- clate members of the Bimelech (you probably remember Bimelech) Marching and Chowder Club, ad- vising them that the horse is sound as a button and will win the Preak- ness at Pimlico today. The charter members of the club tramped out to Louisville last Satur- day for the Kentucky Derby. Dis- guised as gate-crashers, we crassed the gate and tilted our poke of dust on the ledge of a $2-win window. ‘The result was paralyzing. Galla- hadion slipped on the in- side, while Bimelech treated the rail as though it were the third rail, ‘That race is under investigation By whom, you ask? Well, the chair- man of our suspicion committee has been working night and day to turm up evidence that something was askew. ‘This fellow is so suspicious that he fingerprints his wife before and after every meal. Approaching the eight jockeys the day after the race, he asked each of them this question: *Was there anything funny about that Derby?” Derby Extremely Funny To Pictor's Jockey The answers were highly signifi- cant, as follows: Jockey Carroll Bierman, on Galla- hadion—"Jt was very humorous.” F. A. Smith, on Bimelech—“What Derby?” None of the others was willing to reply in English (very suspicious in itself) except Jockey George Woolf, on Pictor, who said he thought there was something extremely funny about the race. “Thisl kill you,” said Mr. Woolf. “Just as we are riding to the post. the guy on the lead-pony comes over and tells me this one. Stop me if you've heard it. It seems that a certain darky named Rastus had a ‘weakness for chickens. Well, one night—" ‘The chairman of our suspicion ‘ecommittee stopped Jockey Woolf right there. He said he had heard it “A guy who runs last in the Ken- tucky Derby,” said our chairman, “has & h—] of a nerve trying to un- load a story like that on me.” The chairman also obtained a beautiful set of fingerprints from Jockey Bierman's whip. They be- s longed to Jockey Bierman. This probably is more than pure coin- cidence. In fact, the whole thing looks fishy, and we will not rest until we have gotten to the bottom of it. Vote of Confidence Given Bimelech Meanwhile, Bimelech still is the o president of our club and our choice | g for the Preakness. He asked for a vote of confidence Tuesday and got it, by 11-9, with 2 members ab- staining. These two have been ab- staining for ‘a couple of weeks, on the advice of their doctor. It would be foolish to deny that the Preakness is an open race. Gal- lahadion was beautifully prepared for the Derby, and if he can hold that racing edge he will be hard to beat at Pimlico. Against him are the size of the field, which makes it hard for a horse coming from be- hind to get the room and the racing luck he needs; the law of averages. for he got nice breaks last week, and the fact that the Preakness is a mile and three-sixteenths, a six- teenth shorter than the Derby. Gal- lahadion was doing some of his best running in the last sixteenth at Churchill Downs. Dit, a good horse at Louisville, has had a busy program and a lot of shipping and may come up stale this ‘week, but he has a chance. So has Pictor, in his home State, if the dew falls. So has Woof Woof. Expert on Conformation Doesn’t Know Much I got together with our expert on eonformation last night and asked | Te: him what he thought of Bimelech’s conformation. “I think it’ll clear up in a day or two,” said the expert, stirring his Collins dreamily. “He hasn’t got a bad case of it.” This was not what I meant, and personally I do not know how our man came to be an expert on con- formation, unless it was a political appointment. What I mean is, Bimelech is not a very big horse, or & wide or strong-looking one, and it may be, as some of the boys are muttering, that he isn't built to go much farther than a mile. If he's merely a sprinter, then I'm afraid we've picked a wrong one, and will have to begin all over again. But it's too soon to shoot the horse. The trouble at Louisville may have been of another nature. We are going to give him this chance in the Preakness, and we pick him to win it. But if he doesn’t, we will ¢hange the name of our club to the Bouth Peconic Better Libraries As- sociation (clean fiction department). Home Run, Tnple tit By Benny Trounces Slmgglmg Tech tern Gains Ground Erhardt Subdues Western in Pinch ¢By ROBERT HENRY. flelding age pitching in a high achool title series baseball game. Western knows, t0o, that Eastern is & team to be considered. ‘The most important item to check, Tech found, is & bat attack tha seemingly can't be checked. Steiner & Co. rose up yester: overcome an early Tech lead in their game at Central and win, 9 to 6. Tech is in sixth place for a new low this' season and Central continues unbeaten at .the top with four straight. Clever pitching and hitting by Warren Erhardt of Eastern gave it an 8-to-5 victory over unbeaten Western at Western and enabled Eastern to take over runneryp spot from the Red Raiders. Western now is a full game ahead of fourth-place Roosevelt. Steiner’s Bat Tells. Central was below par against Tech and with poor defen- sive work in the infield and a slight loss of form by Pitcher Billy Fisher it seemed as though Tech might score an upset. That, however, was in the opening !nmes Steiner, who had smashed a homer to tie the score at 1-all in the third inning, came to bat in the next {rame with the bases loaded and his team trailing by three runs. In less than a minute Central was leading by one run, all because Benny picked out Charley Green’s first pitch and smashed it over the fence for a ground-rule triple. A moment later he scored on an outfield out. -From then on it was all Central, although Tech threatened to score several times, Buddy Webb relieved Green and the hosts pecked away for four more runs. Fisher, in the meantime, settled and proved tight in the pinches. Pat Fenlon, with a trile and three singles, aided the wlnning attack. Lele c! M.G'n. Clomel o 0 § > | 255umommuno? i Central.

Kenny Deavers of Eastern had given Western a 3-to-1 lead in the first five innings when Erhardt took over and engaged Carmel Nance in a hurling duel that threatened to last until nightfall. Erhardt was the master aftgr the sixth inning, while Eastern managed to cut down the Raiders’ lead to zero in the ninth. Erhardt’s single scored Eddie Teague | po ble to make it 5-all. Western previously had won two extra-inning games, but this time Eastern scored three runs in the 10th on three singles, two errors and three stolen bases to win. Teddy Walsh of Eastern, whose three er- rors had made him something of a goat, topped this rally with a single that drove in Paul Cohill and Catcher Torbett.

C., Says Banagan By WALTER McCALLUM. “He can become the best amateur ever developed around Washington. I don't say he is now, but he can become that.” dha who is Fred McLeod's right and left hand .t Columbia, and who presides over the links destinies of quite a sector of the member- ship of that big club, was speaking. He was talking sbout little Earle Skinker, the youngster who grew up so muckly his body couldn’t match his feet. Or is it that good- sized pedal extremities are hallmark of a good golfer? that is so Earle has gone & way on the right road. The 1 year-old son of Ben Skinker is lik Harvey F. Johnson, twice the Co- lumbia champ. Harvey took all there was of a size 12 shoe. “I mean that boy has a lot of shots and a lot of what it takes” said Banagan. “He played this course the other day in 70 blows. I wouldn't call that exactly bad golt.” Plays Columbia in 71. And Earle played it yesterday in 71, in the course of a match in which Wilson High School young- schools for the Dawes Cup, trounced & hapless McKinley quartet, 9 to 0. You can’'t say yet that Wilson is the champ. Mathematically, it can be tied for the big mug put up by Charlie Dawes, when that vet- eran of the underslung pipe was Vice President of the United States. But practically Wilson is in. ‘There isn't 1 chance in 50 that any other school—even Roosevelt, the 1938 and 1939 championship- outfit—can head it off. Wilson plays Roosevelt next Thursday, by the way. Wilson so far has played seven matches against the best high and prep school opposition around , and has won them all. Andnbl:wtofthewmnmgm been done by the same blond boy named Skinker, whom Banagan re- gards so highly. It seems—and it is—only a couple of years since Earle, who holds the Junior club championship at Co- lumbia—was one of quite a group of youngsters whacking a ball around those green acres out Chevy Chase Lake way. In those days | Earle, still in knee breeches, had |a swing that was almost an exact | copy of Fred McLeod’s. He still has it, but as he has grown taller and stronger his game has lengthened out. . Is Good Hitter. Today the youngster, still small in steture, is quite a slugger for his size and weight. He belts that ball a long way, and best of all, he loves the game. Any day, when time permits, he is out there hitting the big shots, or pitching and put- ting. Keep your eyes on Earle Skinker. The kid can go a long way. He can, among other things, win the metropolitan scholastic title Women’s City Pin Tourney Scores SINGLES. CLASS B. Benton .. 2! H E. Meredith _ H. Mayhew ___ 2&4’ P. Shugrue CLASS C. . Pasl . 239 C.
