NEW YORK, April 20. (API A
"Jury" of 12 turners, who should
know If anybody does does, failed to
day to come anywhere near a unani
mous forecast on the Kentucky derby.
They agreed oniy that J. H. Lou
chetm's Pompoon, Mrs. Ethel V. Mars'
Reaping Reward and Samuel Riddle's
War Admiral are the horses to beat.
Three trainers, participating in the
Associated Press fourth annual poll,
named Pompoon outright, three se
lected War Admiral, one picked
Reaping Reward and four refused to
be pinned down closer than two
horses. The remaining vote went to
E. R. Bmdley's Brooklyn on condi
tion he show a good race In the
Blue Orass stakes at Kceneland to
day. Max Hlrsch, who saddled Bold Ven
ture to win the stake last year, was
one of the three favoring Pompoon.
"Any colt that performs the way
Pompoon did in the Paumonok han
dicap and then turns in such fine
workouts afterwards gets my vote,"
said Hlrsch.
His daughter, Mary, first woman
trainer to prepare a horse for Amer
ica's greatest turf classic, selected
Pompoon and War Admiral to beat,
but reserved the right to rate her
horse, No Sir. a chance.

BAN FRANCISCO, April 29. (API
The present United Statea Davis
cup team, which will meet Japan In
Kne eliminations here Friday. Satur
day and Sunday, should win lta open

ever to repreaent thia country. In the
opinion of George H. Hudson.

ers. After watching Davis - cuppers.

declared: 'There seems to be a weak

tives this year."
Budge Due In Single,
Hudson sees' an American victory
through Budge winning his singles
matches: Parker, probable No. 3 man.
taking his Individual setto and Budge
and Mako teaming up to take the
doublea event for a 4-to-l wlndup of
me mree-aay competition.
But Budge "will be very fortunate
to win from JIro Yamaglshl, Japanese
captain, as he Is not up to his 1938
jorm," Hudson said. "His fight
should carry him through, however.
Parker probably will lose to Yamasl-
ahl but ahould win handily from
rumiteru Nagano, No. 3 on the Jap
anese team.
"Our chief worry, however, la not
so much In defeating Japan as our
chances of beating the winner of the
Austrana-Mexlco zone play. The Aus
tralian team should come through
nanauy. it .will be a tough hurdle
lor any otner nation In the world.'

CLEVELAND, O., April 29. (UP)
Cyril C. 8Inpnicka, vice-president of
the .Cleveland Indians, today an
swered National League President
Ford Prick's statement that Bob Fel
ler "should go to the minors" with
suggestion that BUI Terry, New
York Giants' manager, should send
"his entire team to the minors for
year or two."
Prick. National league president.
snld In Buffalo yesterday he believed
the Indians' schoolboy pitcher should
spend some time "In the minor
leagues," that he "still Is pretty
wild. .
I believe It might be well for
Mr. Frlok to confine his analysis of
players to his own league," Slnpnlcka
said.
Slapnlcka said he believed "Prick
should advise Terry to send his en
tire tcflm to the minors for a year
or so."
"Bob demonstrated this spring on
many occasions that he could take
care of the Olanta quite easily.
"Likewise, last year he demonstrat
ed thot the Cardinals needed some
more minor league experience, as all
he did was to set down eight out
of nine Cardinal hitters in three in
nlngs on strikeouts.
"If any pitcher can win five out
of eight games In less than two
months In the major leagues as Bob
did last yar, and come in second as
far aa pitching effectiveness is con
cerned, I am of the opinion that Mr,
Prick had better brush un on hu
I player analysis." .

"Don't sell Medford or Ashland
short" would seem to be an approp
riate cry regarding the coming South
ern Oregon League pennant chase af
ter what those two ball clubs did to
the twin pride and Joys of the re
putedly powerful northern California
circuit last Sunday.
The Weed Sons of Italy, 1936 cham
pions of the neighboring setup, were
supposed to be far and away stronger
than a Medford outfit that bad been
working out only a week, but the
result was a booming 19-10 win for
the locals. And Hilt, with Arnold!
Bauman in the box and a bevy of
classy performers afield, was figured
one of the dark, horses of the league; !
clear beyond the class of an Ashland !
team composed In the main of kids.
The score Sunday was 14-9 for the
Llthlans, and at one time In the ball
game It was 13-7. Both battles were
played In California, also.
Those two performances really
stamp the Jackson county teams as
serious pennant contenders, and an
other important factor la their fa
vor when firing begins next Sunday
is the matter of condition. Because
of Inclement weather all over the cir
cuit, neither Grants Pass, Roseburg,
Olendale nor Crescent City will have
had exhibition games under their
belts. They will begin the season
'cold." Ashland and Medford have
been more fortunate, the Llthlans In
two practice licks against outside
clubs and the locals one.
Both teams are well fortified In the
pitching department. Lowell Brown,
lanky portslder who hurled for the
champion Klamath Red Sox last year,
will probably be the Llthlans' number
one mound performer, although Bill
Kannasto, well known In southern
Oregon baseball circles, and Wayne
Combest, youthful Talent pitcher,
are reported looking good.
Manager Mike Baikovlck of the
Medford team has four pitchers near
ly on a par, and his big worry will be
the selection of an opening thrower.
Ray Erlckson, Alvln Merrltt. Ray
Tungate and Larry pepper are the
hurlers working out under the big
skipper, and he states that the open
ing assignment against Grants Pass
next Sunday won't be determined un
til the end of the week. Local fans
are predicting it will be Erlckson,
however, on the basis of his fine per
formance against Weed Sunday and
the fact that he is a 100 per cent
Improved hurler over last year.
Erlrkson was fairly fast last
year but compared to his high
hard one this season, his speed
was Just so-so. He really wheels
thnt horsehlde In there. According
lug to his dad, Fred, the Increase
. In speed and general lmprovefent
the youngster has developed can
be credited to a mattress and an
unused store-room upstairs. No
fooling.
During the long winter months
Ray built himself an artificial
catcher" in the vacant room by
hanging up a thick mattress on the
wall. And. through those months
Cliff (Chief) McLean, who led
Southern Oregon League batters last
season with a mark of .438 while do
ing the catching for Grants Pass, Is
doing some hefty clouting for How
ard Hobson's University of Oregon
nine. Against Oregon State last Sat
urday, Chief hit for the circuit with
the basea clogged, and in every game
so far, has collected his share of the
blows.
Two other former Southern Ore
gon League players are performing
for the Webfoots Bob Hardy and
Bill Courtney. Hardy, the lanky left-
handed pitcher who was McLean's
battery mate with Grants Pass last
year and the season before pitched
and played In the outfield for Ash
land and Medford. Is rated Oregon's
number two hurler, taking second
place only to tho sensational Bill!
Sayles. Courtney saw Southern Ore-1
gon League action with Ashland and '
Medford two years ago, and la sta-1
tloned In Hobson's outfield.
