LAMB HURLS PIRATES TO WIN OVER WARSAW
This shiny world of postwar wonders has struca in me
indoor sports world, and frankly we wonder if the latest
addition is good or bad.
Newest thing in the keg circles of the nation aie
plastic ten and candle pins and we can think of at least
a couple of reasons why the new and fancy hunks ot
mixed wood ad chemicals may not be recei\ed too ■well
by both alley managers and bowling writers.
In the matter of writers, the bowling scribe is going
to find it difficult to be both colorful and accurate.with the
new pins. For example for many years writers ha\e been
using such phrases as “crashed the maples and tumbled
the timber” and “blasted the logs.”
How is it going to read in the bowling magazines
and the newspaper sport pages when somewhere in a
bowling story the writer says. “Grnyzcztumcix crashed
the phenol-formaldehydes at a 248 average. Or,
“tumbled the cellulose acetates.” or “blasted the Poly
styrenes.” Of course, it will all depend on what kind
of plastic is used.
As far as alley managers and their forecasted doubt
as to the merit of the new pins goes, it seems the company
manufacturing the plastic kegs will not sell the durned
things, but only rent them out at a monthly fee, and wait
until you hear the fee.
A set of candle pins will rent for S37 the first
month and $7.50 each subsequent month, so Morris
Vigoda. head of the Northern Industrial Chemical com
pany in Boston (where else?) declares. Ducks and
ten-pins will rent for a somewhat higher tee.
When it is realized that a set of four alleys rent tor
about $35 a month, it would seem that the pins are mighty
costly. .. ... , r,,.
Now, there is a good side to ine piciuie
plastic pins are supposed to last for over 7,500 games,
while the wooden logs are usually ready for the gia\e
after 400 games. And the scientists who put them on
the market claim they are easy to keep clean with just
soap and water, as well as being less apt to chip and
brBdk
And they also claim that when the plastic finish is
worn, a new dress of the synthetic stuff can be applied.
This sounds as though the firms producing the maple pins
mav go out of business, but wait—there’s a catch.
The new pin is still a maple core, with a plastic
finish. As we understand the American Bowling Con
gress rules “regulation ten-pins shall be of one piece
of clear, hard, solid maple.” But, rules were made to
be broken.
Anyhow, as bowling swings into the close of its most
gucessful season, it appears that the scientists have taken
over. We mention it in passing because the candle pin,
first to be experimented with, may make its appearance in
Wilmington next season.
Popular in New England, candles have just recent
ly came into their own as recognized bowling logs. The
pins are teller than tens, and slimmer than ducks, and
the same size ball as used in duck pin bowling is used.
Scores are somewhat lnw’er than in duck-pin play.
Art Ingram has informed this writer that an alley or
two at the local keg castle may be set aside for the candle
pins this forthcoming season, and it should prove interest
ing. ...
The only break given the bowler in this game is
that the dead wood is allowed to lay near pins still
standing, and therefore a spare is sometimes easier to
make.
If Ingram brings the candles to Wilmington, the
chances are local bowlers will be aiming at a plastic pin,
but we’re still going to call ’em maple logs.
Accuracy can go hang . . . the plastic titles are too
tough to spell.
King Bay Paces Derby
Dandies In Warm-Up Race
LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 26— (JP)
—Two of the fancier Kentucky
Derby dandies—Double Jay and On
Trust—had their local “unveiling’
today, but when the lid was pried
off about the only thing to poo out
was a possible surprise starter in
next week’s Derby field.
This one was the undertaker’s
horse, King Bay from the barn of
Bernard J. Bax, Jr., a Louisville
funeral director, and up to today,
he’d given about as much Derby
consideration as the plug pulling
the milk wagon around your neigh
borhood But he zipped out there
this time at $7.50 for $2 in the mu
tuels and whipped both On Trust,
the California glamour boy. and
Double Jay, the Delaware restau
rant keepers’ pride and joy, at six
furlongs without too much trouble,
and then stayed right with them as
they worked out a full mile.
But just as practically everyone
was writing him out a ticket to
next Saturday’s starting set, Ray
White, his trainer tossed a curve
ball into the proceedings by an
nouncing he didn’t think the front
running son of King Cole would be
ready to go a mile and a quarter
by then. So, he figured he’d keep
him out of the Derby and aim him
for the Preakness of Pimlicc the
following week. It is the privilege
of a trainer or an owner, like a
woman, to change his mind, how
ever.
Double Jay and On Trust each
carried 126 pounds, the Derby
weight, while King Bay was under
114 pounds.

Bucs Spank Red Sox, 11-2
in Sloppy Fielding Game;
TeamsPlaylnWarsawToday
With the aid of sloppy fielding by the Warsaw Red
Sox, plus some generosity by opposing hurlers, the Wil
mington Pirates grabbed the third game of their final ex
hibition series 11-2 last night before a fair sized crowd of
happy fans.
Roy Lamb twirled the first eight frames for the Bucs,
and gave a good account of himself, limiting the Sox to
seven hits, and fanning four. Lamb had a good night with
his war club also, blasting out a single and triple to aid his
own cause.
The Red Sox reached Lamb ior
a marker in the second inning al
though the little right hander should
have "been out of the stanza with
no runs scored against him. With
two men on. Roland hit back to
Lamb who started a fast double
play, but an error by the usual
flawless fielding Fred Muscemeci
at short, paved the way for the
Warsaw run.
The Pirates walked their way to
victory in their half of the second.
Steckel, Davis and Muskovitch
strolled to load the bases. After
Alsnauer fanned, Stanley walked
Lamb to force in Steckel. Hardis
ky continued his great hitting,
singling Davis home. Benton look
ed at four bad ones, and Musko
vitch tallied, and then it got mo
notonus when Muscemeci walked
forcing Lamb in. Bridges lifted to
right, and Hardisky scored the fin
al run.
The Bucs went at it again in the
fourth. Lt^nb tripled to deep right,
to open the frame. Hardisky blast
ed out his third straight hit, scor
ing Lamb. Muscemeci singled scor
ing Hardisky who had moved to
second on Benton’s infield out.
Bridges doubled to right, and when
Stephens let the ball go through
his legs, Muscemeci scored.
Bridges went into third on the mis
play, and tallied himself on Stec
kel's out.
In the fifth, Muskovitch singled,
and scored on a hit by Benton, and
in the seventh Lamb opened with
a single, but died stealing. After
Benton walked, and went to sec
ond on a passed ball, the Warsaw
pitcher dropped a throw from Ro
land at home, and Benton slid in
saieiy.
The Red Sox added one more run
in their seventh on two hits, and an
infield out.
The two teams clash tomorrow in
Warsaw in the series finale, and
then Wilmington opens its season
against Lumberton in Lumberton
Tuesday night.

Illinois' Bid For Relays
SweepSpikedBy NYU, Navy
By AUSTIN BEAUMEAR
PHILADELPHIA, April 16
—Eastern quarters ganged up on
Illinois today and kept the big nine
cinder kings from completely
dominating the 53rd Annual Penn
relays but the real villain in the
plot was a freshman from New
York University who shed his
army khaki only ten weeks ago.
Although they duplicated their
feat of a year ago by winning three
of the team championships, the
Illini bid for an unpre .edented
quintuple victory was thoroughly
squelched before an estimated
throng of 40,000 at sun-drenched
Franklin Field.
For the second straight day, it
was Reggie Pearman, gangling N.
Y. U. freshman who tossed the
monkey wrench into the works by
slipping past the Orange and
Black runners from the Western
conference when they least expect
ed it.
Having added the 880-yard re
lay title to their 440-yard and dis
tance medley championships of
yesterday, the Illini passed up the
four-mile event and shot for the
two-mlle crown, only to finish in
third place behind Fordham and
Manhattan.
Illinois still had a chance to be
come the third school in the his
tory of the meet to take four
titles when the one-mile affair got
under way. But it simply wasn’t
in the cards.
First Navy and then N.Y.U. led
the runners in this last event and
when they came to the anchor leg,
Illinois was in third place. Here
the swift-striding Herb MoKenley,
national quarter-mile champion
added to his problem by getting
tangled up with Moe Callender of
N.Y.U. During the stick-passing
and losing at least ten yards to the
leader.
He overcame this handicap, how
| ver, and led the field around the
filial turn. Then Pearman, who
Ihad seen a comfortable lead melt
away, put on a terrific burst of
speed which the Jamaican could
n’t match and nipped him by
inches just short of the tape.
_ Tar Heel Slugger!
Jack Hussey, giant Carolina outfielder, is the man with the
♦on, ”at « . jar. Heel lineup. There are more consistent hit
nr.inii'ia the4„club’ oui **le High Point gent has the power. He
pounded a three-run homer to beat Wake Forest last week.
