SPORTS. THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., JANUARY 25 1942. SBPORTS . c—5 Draft Unlikely to Hit Baseball Heavily Until War Reaches for Married Men Big Leagues Have Few Bachelors Subject To Service Call More Than 90 Per Cent Of Hurlers Exempted By Current Ruling By GAYLE TALBOT, Wide World Sports Writer. NEW YORK, Jan. 24—Big league baseball, now that it has been given the go-ahead by President Roose- velt, should sail almost normally through the coming year, at least, largely because ballplayers as a class are about the marryingest young men there are. For the time being, until Uncle Sam starts digging much deeper into his bag, the draft is going to touch the bulk of diamond stars very lightly. It will not be until the Army begins taking married men in a big way that the game will feel a serious crimp and the caliber of play will deteriorate mari. :dly. I . ave just looked up the marital | s of 100 big league players, | sta. meis who were regulars last year, Theys were chosen at random. Only 20 of them were unmarried a year ago and some of those doubtless have taken the plunge since then. Five of the 20 have joined the service since the World Series. That leaves, at the outside, only 15 of the original 100 who face possible conscription in the imme- diate future, and probably half of those have dependents. Pitchers Are Marrying Lot. Few ballplayers come from fam- fties with money. The composite big leaguer, as a matter of fact, would come close to being a young | man who bought his mother and father and two sisters a home with his first season’s salary and then got married some time during his second year in the majors. Even a higher percentage of pitchers are married than the play- ers of other categories, probably because their pay is a little better. ‘The average salary for the curvers must be around $10,000 a season, which is “marrying” money. Of 77 regular pitchers whose private lives were pried into 67 were married men at last official account. Of the remaining 10 one, Bob Feller, is in the service, and another, Atley Donald of the Yankees, failed to | pass his physical exam because of back trouble. So it is apparent that pitching will present no serious problem this year. For instance, every regular on the staff of the champion Yankees is married, except Donald. Offhand it appears that only one club, Cleve- | land, has had its hurling corps ruined by the loss of Feller. American League Suffers. Some clubs, naturally, will be hit much harder than others, and up to this point the American League has taken a beating out of all pro- portion to that suffered by the rival National. The American has lost its greatest pitcher, Feller; its lead- ing batter, Boston Red Sox, and its No. 2 bat- ter for 1941, Cecil Travis of Wash- ington. The Detroit Tigers lost Hank Greenberg, their great $50,- 000 slugger, last summer. It was for their respective clubs a sad co- incidence that these four top men had evaded matrimony. The National League thus far has lost practically none of its star tal- ent, and there is no immediate prospect that it will until the draft boards make some important re- visions in their classifications. ‘Thus far players with dependents have received deferred rating, but there are indications this will not last forever. Brookiyn officials, for instance, are nervous, about the status of their outstanding star, Centerfielder Pete Reiser, and about Shortstop Peewee Reese. Some baseball men, in fact, are leaning toward the Cincinnati Reds as probable National League champions because they come nearer to being a completely married, settled club than either Brooklyn or the St. Louis Cardinals. Big Chance for Veterans. About the only serious worry the Yankees have is the possibility of losing their clever little shortstop, Phil Rizutto, who is the main sup- port of his family. They already have lost Johnny Sturm, their first baseman, but they have Buddy Has- sett on deck for the job. In time, as more and more big leaguers are called up, the war will prove a boon to a large group of veteran players who either were barely hanging on in the majors or already had dropped back into “double A” company for a final few years of competition. Eventually a good, sound 40-year- old pitcher like Freddie Fitzsim- mons or Ted Lyons is likely to be regarded as especially valuable property, and a first baseman like Dolf Camilli, with a wife and five children, worth his weight in auto tires. An interesting possiblitly lies in the necessity for conserving rubber, even the small amount used in baseballs. Whether league presi- dents make it an official order or merely tell their umpires under the grandstand, it is likely that balls will be made to last longer and will not be tossed out of the game be- cause of the merest scratch. The older pitchers in particular will like that. They can do things with a slightly used baseball that put murder in a batter’s heart. Dixie ;lurness Leaders Hold Annual Parley By the Associated Press. RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 24—The annual meeting of the Southern District of the United States Trot- ting Associution will be held at the Hotel John Marshall at 1:30 pm. tomorrow.

Hope for Boost in Stake. Formerly offering a purse of $10,- 000 added, the Clark has been cut to $2,500. Inaugurated in 1875—the same year as the more famous | Derby—the handicap is a regular opening day feature at Churchill Downs, over 11-16 miles. The one-time eminence of the | race is attested by the list of its | winmers, graced by such names as | Exterminator, Hodge, Old Rosebud, | Midway, Boniface, Audacious, | Helen’s Babe and Jock. Horsemen around the Downs ex- press the belief that Col. Matt Winn, head man at the track. would be willing to sweeten the Clark if assured Whirly and other top horses would be entered. It is a pretty safe bet that, should Churchill Downs boost the Clark ante, officials at nearby Keeneland would be quick to come through with another worthwhile race to at- track Whirlaway, a native of Keene- land’s bluegrass neighborhood. Would Like to Win Clark. Calumet will be at the Downs this spring shooting for a repeat in | the Derby. Owner Warren Wright doubtless has a soft spot in his heart for the South Louisville track and would like to add Whirly’s name to the illustrious winners of the Clark—not to mention a substan- tial Clark purse to Whirly’s earn- ings. No word has come from the Downs as yet as to the possibility of upping the Clark purse but the local hard- boots believe the colonel isn’t going to overlook the opportunity to re- store the Clark.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Jan. 24— | ommended today suspension of horse | and dog racing in Arkansas “for the duration of the war” and simul- | taneously moved to stop all betting, both legal and illegal. Declaring he thought it “very in- appropriate for our people to par- ticipate in gambling on races or anything else,” Adkins said he would ask the State Racing Commission not to issue any more permits for racing meets during the war. The Governor asserted the an- nual 30-day horse racing meet at Hot Springs, already authorized to ing meet, a 90-day affair usually held during the summer at West Memphis, should not be held “with the dire emergency confronting us.” While the Governor was issuing his statement, Supt. Gray Albright led a squad of State police in raids on six alleged bookmaking establishments along Hot Springs’ famed Central avenue, destroying a quantity of gambling para- phenalin. Albright said he was armed with search and seizure warrants issued by Chief Justice Griffin Smith of | g | the State Supreme Court at the ‘ Governor’s request.

Eleven Big Loop Clubs Open Florida Camps In Néxt 4 Weeks Dodgers to Move There After Jaunt to Cuba; Four Train on Coast By JUDSON BAILEY, Associated Press Sports Writer. NEW YORK, Jan. 24—Many of the major league clubs have not yet mailed contracts and because of the confusion about night baseball their schedule for 1942 is unfinished, as usual, will shelter most | of the clubs of the majors as well as the International League, Ameri- can Association and some of the other minors. Four big league teams will train in California and the Brooklyn Dodgers plan to start their training in Cuba egain, but will be back in Florida in time to| give that State claim to a dozen clubs. | Both the Boston Braves and the | St. Louis Browns, who had camps | in Texas last year, will move to| bases in Florida. This is the training camp lineup: AMERICAN LEAGUE. Yankees—St. Petersburg. Red Sox—Sarasota. Nationals—Orlando. Athletics—Anaheim, Calif. ‘White Sox—Pasadena, Calif. Browns—Deland. Tigers—Lakeland. Indians—Clearwater. NATIONAL LEAGUE. Dodgers—Havana and Daytona | Beach. Giants—Miami. Braves—Sanford. Phillies—Miami Beach. Cardinals—St. Petersburg. Reds—Tampa. Pirates—San Bernardino, Calif. Cubs—Avalon, Calif. (Catalina Island). | The Giants will inaugurate the | training season by opening camp at | new manager, is due in New York | this week end to work out details | with other club officials. | The Dodgers will set up head- quarters in Havana four days later and stay there till mid-March, when they will move in at Daytona Beach, where their Montreal farm club also | will train. Bob Quinn, president of the| Braves, is happy over his setup at Sanford and says he hopes to be- come a permanent visitor. This | means something, since the Braves trained for 17 consecutive years at St. Petersburg before getting a wan- derlust that died in Texas last year. | Manager Frank Frisch is going to gather his Pirate pitchers together at El Centro, Calif., February 24, | and there is a possibility that the second squad may have to report there, too, on March 5 because the Army is using the baseball field at | San Bernardino at present. Most Start About February 22. Connie Mack, similarly, will have | the pitchers of the Philadelphia | Athletics report to Coach Earl }Bruck!r at Carlsbad, Calif., about February 14 for some preliminary | 5 | work before the camp at Anaheim ‘ | opens a week later. | | Training for most other clubs will start the week end of February 22. !

' Uline Ring Promotion Post Now Is Sought By Eddie Mead Former Armstrong Pilot Claims He Can Bring Ace Boxers Here Eddie Mead, the stout fellow who | piloted Hammerin' Henry Ana- strong to three simultaneous cham- plonships, may be the next pro- moter at Uline Arena if negotiations now pending with Proprietor Mike Uline are successful. The two were closeted an hour yesterday while Mead unfolded his plan of action. Previously it was rumored that Goldie Ahearn, aide de camp to Johnny Attell, would get the post, but Mead with his far-reaching connections in the fight game believes he can stage more attractive matches and show more profit than could Ahearn. “I told Uline what I wanted to do,” he said' before departing for | New York last night. “I wouldn't fool with any trash in a place like that, but give the fans high-class | shows. The Kind I have in mind would gross $18,000 or $20,000. “If we can get together I'll be | ready to go in a couple of weeks and I'll move to Washington and make my permanent headquarters | Mead said he has ample financial support from several Washington business men. Uline, giving the matter careful consideration, is supposed to have an answer to the proposition next Tuesday or Wednesday. Whether | Mead’s scheme sounds better than | the setup Uline was said to have | decided on last week by which he‘ would back Goldie Ahearn as pro- | moter was conjectural. |Georgetown Boys’ Fives Busy in Three Loops Basket ball games in three leagues are scheduled this week at George- | town Branch Boys’ Club.

HIALEAH, PARK, Fla, Jan. 24— Get Off, which last winter finished second to his stablemate, Big Pebble, in the Widener Handicap, today served notice that he has designs on that rich fixture this season when he defeated 13 rivals in the Palm Beach Handicap. Flying the Circle M Ranch silks of the Edward S. Moores of Wyoming, the 6-year-old son of American Flag wore down R. W. Collins’ top-weighted mare, Sweet Willow, to take the $4,.990 first money by a length. He com- pleted the 7 furlongs in 1:25%. Red Dock lost the place by a head, while Allessandro, coupled with Get Off, was a close fourth. The win- ning entry paid $10.80. Get Off's triumph was witnessed by a crowd of 12,574, which easily topped the | same day in 1941, when 9,360 were present. | Favorite Never in Race. | The Chief ruled favorite in the big field, but raced with the trailers for the entire journey. Get Off broke tardily, but Basil James soon had him in a contend- ing position. Sweet Willow, show- ing her usual speed, set the pace by daylight until joined by Get Off around the last bend. The latter finally prevailed and was moving away at the end. Red Dock raced well up and closed deter- minedly to outfinish Allessandro. Edward S. Moore received a | trophy in addition to the major share of the purse. He also figured |in presentation ceremonies after the race as one of the owners re- ceiving plaques from the Turf and Sports Digest, which conducted its | annual best horses of the year poll late in 1941.
