Fine Pennant Races Seen For New Baseball Season 1 SPORTS United Press International There'll be a pair of fine pennant races after all this year if the current Grapefruit league . standings are ' for real." Everybody seems to be con ceding the races to the New York Yankees and the Mil waukee Braves but both de fending champions are under .500 today while the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers are playing sensation al ball. The Red Sox defeated the San Francisco Giants, 6-1, at Scattsdale, Ariz., Tuesday to raise their spring - record to 8-1. The Baltimore Orioles are the only other American league team over .500. The Yankees have lost five of nine games and the Chicago White Sox, rated the AL's other chief contender, are last with a 3-4 mark. The Dodgers, idled by rain Tuesday along with most of the other teams training in Florida, have a 5-2 record that is by far the best in the na tional league. The Braves stand only 3-5 and the Pitts burgh Pirates, who finished second last season are 5-8. Frank Sullivan, as likely an opening-day pitcher as you'll find from the Grand Canyon to the Florida Keys, went six fine innings Tuesday as the Red Sox kept up their fast spring pace. Sullivan yielded four hits but struck out six and Herb Moford, who held the Giants hitless the rest of the way, fanned four more.' Ted Lepcio cracked the first homer of the spring at Scotts dale, thereby earning a col lection of 1 6prizes from local mercnants and pacing the nine-hit Red Sox attack. c THESE- llifiELS (YOUR GUESTS WILL!) 4 WALk.ll 3 1 r i-fcSB sine ifrSSli s Qt.

Indians Whip Cubs The Indians overcame three Chicago homers to whip the Cubs, 10-5, at Mesa, Ariz. Ernie Banks, Lee Walls and Bobby Thompson homered for the Cubs but the Indians broke a 5-5 tie in the eighth when a double by Jim Bol ger, singles by Ron Graber and Gene Leek and Woody Held's double produced an 8-5 lead. Dick Drott, in his first appearance for the Cubs since getting out of the Army, walked eight batters, made two wild pitches and commit ted an error in three innings. Chuck Stobbs and Dick Hyde spaced out 11 hits as the Senators topped the Pir ates, 4-1, at Ft. Myers, Fla. The Senators scored all their runs off rookie Benny Dan iels, who went the first six innings for Pittsburgh. Cincinnati vs. St. Louis at St. Petersburg, New York vs. Philadelphia at Clearwater, Kansas City vs. Milwaukee at Bradenton and Detroit vs. Los Angeles at Sarasota were rained out. 1,500 Athletes To Contend in Relay Encounter Ham, Elks1 Trapshcofs On Sunday Four teams will participate in the Medford Elks lodge spring trapshoot tournament.

ORTIZ SIGN Philadelphia (TJPJj " Len Matthews of Philadelphia has signed to meet Carlos Ortiz of New York in a 10-round light weight bout here April 13. Matthews, with a 16-1-1 rec ord, has never met a fighter with Ortiz reputation. Ortiz, a Puerto Rican, has won 20, lost two and drew one. Sport 0SCAR FRALEY j. V United Press aia0G -rfc"CV? International , United Press International New York -(LTD- A total of 130 hayburners are eligible today for the May 2 running of the Kentucky Derby and, if the nomenclature class will come to order, Fearless Fra ley will prove that only a bare handful of these nags have a galloping ghost of a chance. To open the session, let it be said that it long has been a theory in this corner that names play a great part in the making of a champion. This has been contested many times. Bpt I still have never heard of anybody named Oscar, Ethelburt or Algernon win ning the heavyweight cham pionship of the world, or even the light heavyweight cham pionship of the world. Classy Handle Wins Getting back to the derby, it usually is a colt with a classy handle which wins this one, too. As example, past winners include such as Count Fleet, Exterminator, War Admiral, Assault, Count Turf and Iron Liege. Native Dancer was a great horse with a swishy name so he ran second in this one to the prophetically-named Dark Star. There have been some real daisies among the names of those who went postward in the derby and failed miser ably. How could they expect them to run with such tags? Like, say: Bankrupt, who did just that to his backers; Cher ry Pie, a juicy 20th; Dog patch, who was: Frogtown, should have been a jumper; In Memoriam, whose tote tickets ought to have been edged in black; Vagabond, a real bum; One Dime, what he was worth, and Watermel on, who was. Other Poor Names I don't know whether some of these good-sounding colts can run a lick, but this corner has to go along with such un inhibited colts this time as Count Mighty, First Land ing, Great One, Mighty Sir and Navy King. As for Tomy Lee, I don't think he's got a Chimaman's chance. It's an other case of "no tickee, no laundry." Here are some others you can have when they blow boots and saddles for the rose run: Am Away - His position at the finish. Another Sin - If you put money on him. Audience - Where he'll wind up. Call the Witness - Another crime. Die Hard - Which his back ers will. Don't Alibi - You've been warned. Dotted Swiss - Materially cheese. Dunce - If you do bet. Dust Jacket - Sure to wear one. Hogan To Meet Moore in Featherweight Bout Los Angeles -(UPD- Explosive Hogan (Kid) Bassey of Nigeria tonight makes his second de fense of the featherweight championship against top rated challenger Davey Moore of Springfield, Ohio, in a 15 round nationally televised bout that could be one of the best fights of the year. The fight ends a year and a half campaign by Moore to get into' the same ring with Bassey and the chellenger was confident that he will emerge from the bout in Olympic Au ditorium the new champion.
