Fresh from a visit to the western
American league training camps,
tub thumper Earl Hilligan notes
with some surprise that mana
gers and scribes agree that the
ball players are in better shape
and further advanced in training
than they were a year ago in
sunny Florida and California. . . .
' That may be because it rained
only once in the 10 days Earl
was in the camps, he explains.
FIGURING IT OUT
Hilligan also reports that the
"limestone league" did all right
at the gate with a couple of
crowds around 4000 for early
exhibitions .... "Chicago wri
ters say," he adds, "that the
White Sox haven t had an exhibi
tion crowd like 3900 in years." . .
Teams in the east have been
drawing even better, and if they
get some real baseball weather
when they begin to hit their
home towns they'll probably
make a bit of dough .... Inci
dentally, Tom Stephenson, who
has been plugging the "lime
stone league" label for the Indi
ana camps, agrees that the "long
underwear" league ought to
cover the whole circuit "if they
stretch as well as they etch."

" The summer outdoor fight pro

the war season of 1918, the In
ternational league turned up
seven pitchers who tossed both
games of doubleheaders and
Ernie Lanigan wouldn't be sur
prised to see Montreal's James
' Willard Ramsdell join the iron
man group this year. Ramsdell
has worked 909 innings in the
past three seasons.

Happy Bed
Wings Win
Stanley Cup
Spurred by Owner's Bonus,
Detroit Team Speeds Home
With Hockey's Tdp Trophy
HAPPY RED 336 Spts
By BILL KING
. BOSTON, April 9 (IP) After
being inspired by the lavish
bonuses of Jim Norris, their
proud owner, Detroit's Happy
Red Wings today were speeding
home with the Stanley cup,
hockey's most prized trophy, for
the third-time in the past eight
National Hockey league seasons.
They took four straight games
from the Boston Bruins.
Two years ago, the Bruins sub
jected the Red Wings to four
straight setbacks in the cup finals
and last year, after winning the
first three games from the Tor
onto Maple Leafs, jolly Jack
Adams' forces stunned hockey
circles by dropping four games
in a row.
Before the Red Wings skated
out against the Bruins in last
night's finale, Norris, who had
promised to add $5000 to his
players playoff pool, agreed to
give an additional $2500 if they
took four straight.
While the Red Wings were do
ing' just that, they provided
Johnny Mowers, their all-star
goalie, with his second shutout
in as many nights in Boston.
Mowers blanked the Bruins 4-0
Wednesday, when Don Grosso
tallied three goals, the last night
he gave them a 2-0 whitewashing.

By The Associated Press
EVANSVILLE, Ind. Two
sons of Texas, veteran Pinky
Higgins and rookie J. P. (Joseph
Perry) Wood, are fighting for
the Detroit Tigers' third base
job. Higgins, with an exhibi
tion batting average of an even
.300 compared to Wood's heal
thy .444, has a definite edge as
a power hitter but Wood has
superior speed. The hustling
22-year-old, up from Beaumont,
has vowed that once he gets
into the lineup Higgins never
will get back. Skipper Steve
O'Neill isn't committing himself.
ST. LOUIS Manager Luke
Sewell, who brought his Browns
home today, was optimistic over
the results of northern spring
training.
"We've reached a condition
that I don't think we could
have surpassed if we had been
down in Florida," he declared.
"Conditions in Cape Girardeau
(Mo.) were unusually good and
we haven't a single complaint."
CAIRO, 111. The St. Louis
Cardinals packed today to re
turn home, mildly astonished at
the highly successful spring
training period they endured in
the "north." Manager Billy
Southworth admitted that ' a
month ago he thought his squad
would be fortunate if it suc
ceeded in working outdoors
three out aL every five days.
As it was the team worked out
side 22 of the 25 days spent
here and the other three went
through stiff indoor drill.
MUNCIE, Ind. Frankie
Frisch, looking for more speed
and batting strength, is trying
two-thirds of last year's Toronto
outfield with his regulars this
week. Jimmy Russell is playing
left field and Frankie Colman
right with the veteran Vince Di

COLLEGE PARK, Md. Own
er Clark Griffith isn't worried
about who will be the Wash

the war. He'll just send out to
Wichita, Kas., when Joe Jacobs

By DAVE HOFF
CHICAGO, April 9 M') The National Football league mem
bers have acquired their legal rights to the crcum of tho gradu
ating college grid crop, ami now all llu-y luivo to do Is go out
and find how many of tho boys ure 4-F In the draft so they con
play next season.
The Detroit Lions are heirs to two of the flne.it of last full'i
college players, Frank Slnkwlch of Georgia and Dtivc Schreiuer,
but their chances of using cither until after the war are remote.
Slnkwlch already is on active duty with tho murines and
Schrclncr Is reported facing In-
dilution into the armed forces
Thut's tho way It reads 'in
most cases, but thero was the
slim hope that possibly S per
cent o( the SOU collegians draft
ed last night may be available
for the 1943 season.
Breaking up the thrcc-dny
meeting, the magnates threw
tho n a m c s on tho suspended
Cleveland Ruins' roster up for
grabs lust night with the Chi
cago Dears getting tho best of
the blind lottery. They drew
out Dante Mtignuu! and Jim
Benton, two of the Rums' aces,
and aren't too hard up for
plfyers anywuy.
With an cyo on the future
more than next season, tho
Bears picked their collegians
carefully, drawing five linemen
in their first eight choices and
also bagging Halfbacks Bob
Stcubcr of Missouri, Fred
(Dippy) Evans of Notre Dame
and Jim Jurkovich of Califor
nia. The championship Washington
Redskins also drew a neat as
sortment Including Jack Jenk
ins, Vauderbllt fullback, and
William Dutton, Pittsburgh half
back, plus three well-regarded
Notre Dame men: End Bob
Dove, Center Walter Ziemba
and Tacklo Lou Rymkus.
Slnkwlch, Georgia's all
America halfback and record
breaking star on total offense
Hast season, was the first man
selected in yesterday's draft.
Joe Muha of VMI went next,
to the Philadelphia Euglcs. The
Chicago Cardinals claimed
Glenn Dobbs, Tulsa halfback;
Brooklyn took Paul Goveruali,
Columbia's peerless pusscr; the
Cleveland Rams picked mighty
Miko Holovak, Boston college
fullback, and tho New York
Giants grabbed Steve Filipow
icz, the Fordham plunger.
Pittsburgh's No. 1 choico wus
Minnesota's Bill Daley while
another Gopher, Tackle Dick
Wildung, was first pick of the
Green Bay Packers. The Bears
took Steuber first time around
and the Redskins got Jenkins.

Conroy Is very clever and fast
for a heavyweight and Pntzke,
although not (in equal boxer, Is
the heavier hitter. ,

ment of mat fans. Both are foot
