Jolley vbested Max Menldve, Payson flinger, in a great hurlers' duel. He struck out six and gave only three free passes in the seven-inning game.

In the third, the Wildcats shoved shov-ed across their final three runs as Menlove got in trouble. Paul Jennings and Bob Free drew walks. Wally Wallace pounded a single, and Steve Larson whacked a long ball that was good for three bases but went for only a single when Larson failed to touch second base and was called out. Payson garnered its only run in the sixth, Barnett crossing the plate. No player was able to garner more than one hit during the game.

Today's SPORT PARADE NEW YORK, April 20 U.P) Major league baseball, traditional symbol of American democracy, gets under way at Washington today and although 1943 will find the sport involved in its most un certain campaiErn, there is little doubt that it will have its most prosperous season in years. A general air of confidence pervades per-vades the personnel of the majors from bat-boy to club-owner since the government's favorable attitude toward the sport was reflected re-flected in a statement by War Manpower Commissioner Paul V. McNutt. While McNutt emphasized there will be no occupational defer ment for players, he did reveal that the game will not be listed as a non-deferrable industry. This, plus a selective service ruling that makes the call of fathers unlikely un-likely before fall, virtually assures a full, 154-game schedule. Fat box-office figures became almost a certainty following the outstanding success handed boxing, box-ing, racing and hockey by a mon-ieu mon-ieu sports-hungry public. The ring program, although notable for an absence of name fighters like Joe Louis, Billy Conn, Gus Lesnevich and Tony Zale, has gone YANK PITCHING BEST IN LOOP NEW YORK, April 20 (U.E) The quantity and quality of the New York Yankees is not as good as in former years but Manager Joe McCarthy today has enough to spread-eagle the American league pennant race this year. The brilliant infield and potent outfield of the Bronx Bombers has been shattered by draft calls but their pitching staff remains virtually vir-tually untouched. For that reason, plus holdovers Bill Dickey, Joe Gordon and Charlie Keller, the Yankees will make the junior loop race look easy. Except for the absence of Red Ruffing and Lefty Gomez, the Yankees have a superb mound corps headed by Ernie Bonham, Hank Borowy, Spud Chandler, At-ley At-ley Donald, Marius Russo and Rookies Bill Zuber, Charlie Wens-lof Wens-lof f and Tommy Byrne. Paul r.MatiSc33 CJartime Snrtiyal Of Diamond Sport WASHINGTON, April 20 (TIE War Manpower Commissioner Paul V. McNutt, unofficial ruler of major league baseball, gave the game a rousing shot in the arm today by predicting that he saw no reason why the sport could not' carry on through the war. McNutt has been chosen to toss out the first ball in the American Ameri-can League's opening game between be-tween the Washington Senators and the Philadelphia Athletics today. to-day. And the man who by virtue of his office held the game's destiny des-tiny in the palm of his hand prefaced that task with the most inspiring statement since President Presi-dent Roosevelt's "green light" pronouncement pro-nouncement last year. McNutt's viewpoint cannot be construed as an official benediction, benedic-tion, but his statement" on wartime war-time survival of the game was viewed in the most -conservative 1 quarters as "encouraging." j Although he said the approach ing induction of able-bodied men between 18 and 38 should not halt baseball, McNutt emphasized that the WMC will continue baseball base-ball as a non-essential activity, thus ruling out any. possible occupational occu-pational deferment for players. Ye he qualified this with the revelation that it will not be listed as non-deferable, which would have meant blanket 1-A classification for players between 18 and 38, regardless of dependents. depend-ents. Additional cheer was lent the picture when other WMC officials said they believed the ban on drafting pre-Pearl Harbor fathers fath-ers will be held off until late this summer, thereby assuring use of eligible fathers for most of the 154-game schedule. i- i i r. : - rStiIllClfami PIONEERS NEAR TENNIS GROWN U1 5 - 1 n -ta-. rvrt v- TS : 1 r Jr. 1 James J.

Although former fanfare will be lacking, the combination of a new ball plus a lower grade of competition make for a wide-open race in both circuits. Three new managers will make their debut- Ossie Bluege with the Senators, Steve O'Neill with the Detroit Tigers and Bucky Harris with the Philadelphia Phillies. Speaking of the Phillies, there is another change for the better. New owner William Cox has instituted insti-tuted a vigorous house-cleaning and the Phillies have a good chance of finishing better than last as has been their annual custom. All in all, the coming picture is unpredictable and, after wallowing wallow-ing through a unique training season, sea-son, the players and fans are ready for most anything to happen and it probably will.
