SHUT OUT COPS RICH BELMONT STAKES __m i i i X X X X X X X X X- X x Sports Hodge-Podge BY CARLE HODGE Now that hot weather is here, we wonder how many of the dyed-in-the-wool ’coon hunters are pining away for ol’ Jack’s resounding bay as he trails the little animal through the swamps. . There are the discomforts of falling into an icy stream of water about midnight ... of snagging a leg or arm on a farmer’s barbed wire fence ... of climbing a tree to find that the coon has found another place of refuge. It’s still a lot of fun. A nocturunal sport for the average fan, coon hunting still holds a great attraction for the outdoorsman ... oh well, it didn’t hurt to have a pipe dream. Six months until Jack starts yelping again won’t be so long. Maybe it’s the heat. And while autumn is in the air above the Star-News sports desk, there’s something else. A premature question on the lips of millions of fans is “What about football?” Stanley Woodward of the New York Herald-Tribune decided to probe that question and thus sent 50 question naires to grid coaches of major colleges. His discoveries: Gas rationing may slash attendance and force moving of game sites and the draft may take a few players, but elevens of the bigger schools will be out on the field as usual this fall. Toughest and most colorful squads are due from the service training bases—like the Navy pre-flight school at UNC—which will draw the pick of top-notch gridders in the armed forces. , Since some schools—Texas A. & M. and Notre Dame, for instance—have ROTC units and may keep those stu dents working toward a commission, they may still boast strong teams. Wilmington and Wilmingtonians in the sports news— Tom Cobb, New Hanover High student, is the only local bov entered for the Carolina Junior golf tournament this week. He went to Greensboro Saturday to start practice for the qualifying rounds . . . Red-haired Aggie Morton, who had been rated a strong contender in the girls’ meet, will not play because of previous plans for the same dates. Fresh from the Winston-Salem event yesterday, Wil mington’s horse show people will enter the Sedgefield con tests at Greensboro next week. Just off the press, the New Hanover Fishing club’s attractive new prize list and annual announces the or ganization will furnish club emblems for the license plates of their cars—an excellent method of advertis ing angling in this area . . . Fishermen, by the way, believe the gas shortage may eventually mean much less fishing. It’ll be the restaurant men’s night at Thalian hall Fri day again when popular Jim Londos, the Golden Greek, vVestles on Bert Causey’s card . . . Trainer Plunk Morning expects to see a lot of local boxers Monday night at Thalian when work-outs for the Shipyard athletic association’s ring shows begin. Hugh Griffith, hard-hitting shortstop of the Star Mews softball team, went to the hospital Saturday for an emergency appendectomy. Doctor says no more ball for him this season . . . His father Mack, a veteran in diamond circles here, was able to return home last week after several months of trouble from a chemical in one of his lungs. Softball Commissioner Bert Moore leaves today for a week vacation in his native Chicago. Sports Carbon: Says Buddy Atkinson of the Louisville Times: “If labor has got to work or fight, then boxers should be made to fight or work.”_ New York Yanks Bow Cleveland Nine, 3-0 - * Red Ruffin Reaches 250 Mark By Hurling Four-Hit Shutout Against Indians NEW YORK, June 8.—Char ley (Red) Ruffing, dean of the New York Yankee pitching staff and winner of more games than any other major league hurler, reached the 250 mark today when he tossed a fancy four-hitter at the Cleveland Indians for a 3-0 •hutout.

ALSAB SECOND AS EKKY’S SON ADDS TO WINS Chicago Hope Trails Three Lengths As Derby Win ner Upsets Dope By SID FEDER NEW YORK, June 6.—— Equipoise’s Chocolate Baby, stretch-running Shut Out, put a strangle-hold on the championship of the three-year olds today by adding the ancient Belmont stakes to his Kentucky Derby triumph— and once more making Alsab “holler uncle.” Topping off a Belmont Park pro gram from which war relief bene fitted by an estimated $125,000, Ekky’s sturdy son poked his way in front a half a mile from home and let A1 Sabath’s Chicago hope chase him all the way to the judges by three lengths. It was Shut Out’s second “big one” this spring in races in which his great daddy never had a chance to run. Equipoise took sick the eve of his derby in 1931 and never ran for the big money in the Blue Grass classic or Bel mont’s mile-and-a-half grind of which today’s was the 74th run ning. He died more than a year ago. and this spring his last son went out to represent the old man. He did it smartly in the derby. And he had even more fun today under a smashing, heady ride by wise Eddie Arcaro, because Alsab was a 2 to 5 shot in this one and ■all but a few of the crowd of 29, 812 customers figured "the Sab” had it at his mercy. . But Shut Out and Arcaro not on ly won—they did it Alsab’s way. When Alsab- started to move up, they went right along. At the mile mark, Arcaro got Ekky’s kid on top and, holding Alsab safe all the way, just romped in by open day light Mrs. Payne Whitney's colt was caught in the good time of only four-fifths off the track record in picking up a $44,520 pay-check for this third “jewel” of the triple crown and, with his derby “sal ary,” Shut Out boosted his bank roll for a year-and-a-half of racing to $136,197.50. Although the crowd was slightly under the hoped-for turn-out, the track’s proceeds from the betting handle of nearly $2,000,000, plus the “breakage,’ admission fees and all other intake, and minus only purses to horsemen, made it appear the war effort would bene fit considerably. State Racing Commission Chair man Herbert Bayard Swope esti mated Army and Navy relief and the United Service Organization would get $125,000 out of it. Since nearby Jamaica race track had pledged to match Belmont’s con tribution, it looked like quite a “bundle.” Except for Alsab and Shut Out, any resemblance between the oth ers in the Belmont field and top flight stake horses was purely co incidental. J. M. Roebling’s Loch invar came up third, five lengths back of Alsab and eight in front of William Woodward’s Trierarch. The latter was trailed home by Walter Chrysler’s Ramillies, H. L. Lunger’s half crown and Mrs. F. Ambrose Clark’s top milk. -..V Grove Pitches Chicago To 3-1 Win Over Bosox BOSTON, June 6.—(JP)—Dom Di Maggio, the first man Orval Grove faced, banged a home run today, but after that the 22-yeay-old Chi cago righthander had things pret ty much his own way as the White Sox beat the Boston Red Sox 3 to 1 It was Chicago’s second victory in the east this season, the other being on May 1 at Philadelphia. Grove was found for only four hits and had comparatively good control, walking only three men. The Red Sox made a “team cycle," single, double, triple and home run —but they couldn’t bunch them.

MasonboroAnd Tigers Play A tBellamy Today Expressmen And Su-Ann Take Over Strange Field For Seaboard Game By R. J. POWELL Bellamy Park will be used for the first time this afternoon by the Seaboard baseball league as the amateurs present the third round of play with three games on tap. A glance .at the standings would indicate that today’s play should be the best yet produced by the young circuit. The tied-for-top Masonboro Clam diggers risk their position by trav eling up to Bellamy to engage the tied-for-second Carolina Tigers in the number one red-letter game of the day. Once-beaten Su-Ann meets the Clamdiggers’ first place bud dies, the slugging P & F Express men, at Robert Strange and an other stiff argument is viewed. The battle for the dubious cellar honors will be raging down on the Masonboro sound diamond with twice-defeated Sunset Park and the victorless Shipyard Fitters fur nishing the fireworks. All games begin at 3 o’clock. Masonboro’s slugging Clamdig gers place their fate into the stur dy hands of their ace pitcher, Ed Farrow with Dan George catch ing. To attempt to halt the Sound ers the Tigers have imported for mer Cape Fear leaguer Billy Pieper to command the mound this afternoon. Both teams will use the same lineup in the other posi tions. Undaunted by their first defeat of the year, the Su-Ann Shoemen are confident of getting back on the right track with a win over the heavy-hitting Motormen and as further insurance they have sign ed . the well-known Poopy Sandlin, late of the Amoco club, to do the twirling against the P&Fers. Some more newcomers may make their appearance on the Su-Ann team today. Scoggins, or Auld will be the pitcher for the top-ranking Movers and the rest of the line up will be the same. Starting a re-building program, Sunset Park manager Lee Rochelle has signed pitcher Dan Page and several other well-known locals to play for the Park club. Page will hurl today with Peggie Duches catching and Russell Dyches play ing first, Floyd Merritt at second, Gene Allen at third, Harper O'Sul livan shortstop and Red Holt, Gene Goodwin and Frank Leray in the outfield. Several of the Sunset re serves may be used during the game, Rochelle said. The Fitters line-up has not been announced. HALE AMERICA TRIALS BEGIN Qualifying Rounds For Na tional Open Are Started 'With 600 Entered NEW YORK. June 6.—(/P)—From the veteran Robert T. Jones to a 22-year-old steelworker at Buffalo, N. Y., approximately 600 golfers pitched and putted their way around 11 courses today in the second stage of qualifying for the Hale America National open.
