ONLY A SMARTER-A SHARPER

By JACK (Jl'KNTHKH
LOUISVILLE, Ky.—(UP)—If the skies are fair and the track
is fast on Saturday, the only way Bimelech can lose the Kentucky
derby is to have a smarter—and a sharper—jockey steal it from
him.
That was generally agreed in Louisville Thursday as the van-
guard of the 100,000 people who are expected to witness the Blue
Grass classic arrived to be greeted by a needle-like wind, unseason-
ably low temperatures and a muddy track at Churchill Downs.
For, without any attempt or intent to injure any rider's feel-
ings, it is common knowledge

Ernie Lombardi's Big Bat
Burst Brooklyn's Bubble
BY GEORGE KIKKSEV
NEW YORK — (UP) — The
sleeping giant rose in all his
might and smashed Brooklyn's
dream.
Not far from the spot where
he sprawled last October while
Yankee runners raced across the
plate in the fatal fourth world
series game, Ernie Lombardi
came out of his coma Wednes-
day and dealt a crushing blow
to the Dodger juggernaut. The
big Cincinnati catcher slugged
out a home run with the bases
loaded, a stroke which popped
Brooklyn's bubble of invincibili-
ty.
Lombardi's four-master spark-
ed an 8-run inning in which the
Reds routed Hugh Casey and
ended the Dodgers' winning
streak ai nine straight. Bucky
Walters, last season's "player of
Gentlefnen, we believe that if you
wear Hanes Crotch-Guard Shorts
for just one day, you'll experience
a new underwear comfort you never
dreamed was possible. They're knit to
fit. . . and help you feel fit.
The Hanesknit Crotch-Guard gives
you gentle, athletic support without
binding. The wider crotch doesn't crowd
and cramp. The legs fit as snug as your
skin. And an all-round Lastex waistband
follows your every movement.

feat on the high flying Dodgers,
| holding them to six scattered
! hits _to win his third straight
| game.
(irnml Slam Homer
There are many ramifications
to Lombardi's grand-slam hom-
! or. For a time last winter it
i seemed that te lumbering Cincin-
i nati catcher might be wearing a
j Brooklyn uniform himself this
I season, returning to the club he
I played for when he first came
up. Brooklyn was willing to
j trade Catcher Babe Phelps to
j the Reds even up for Lombardi,
! but the Dodgers would go no
J farther than that. Warren C.
Giles, Reds' business manager,
rejected the offer. "We can't
ti'ade Lombardi on that basis,"
j said Giles. "We have to have
| more for him. He's the kind of
) ball player who can come back
i to Cincinnati and break your
i heart."
What Giles had in mind is ex-
] actly what happened Wednesday
i when big Schnozzola hit his de-
! vastating home run wallop.
Ked Son Power Tells
The Boston Red Sox's power
j elevated them back into a first
| place tie with the Cleveland Tn-
j dians when Joe Cronin's club
! slugged out a 12-4 victory over
| the White Sox. Cronin drove
I in four runs himself.
Nelson Potter pitched the
j Philadelphia Athletics to a 5-1
triumph over the Indians.
Monte Pearson got the Yanks
j back on the winning track with
I a 5-hit. 5-3 victory over the St.
' Louis Browns. The Yanks slap-
ped Eldon Auker for three runs
| in the first, and were never
headed. The victory brought the
! Y.mks back into a fifth place tie
! with the Browns.

ancient panelled commons cham-
ber as Chamberlain spoke and
it lighted his worn face. At his
side sat Winston Churchill,
first lord of the admiralty and
senior defense officer.
Hopes To (iive Full Story
Xoxt week, Chamberlain said,
he hoped that he and Qiurcuill
might give to commons a full
story of the Norwegian opera-
I tions to date.
On next Tuesday, Chamber-
| lain told commons, there will
be a full dress debate on the gov-
ernment's war effort. Until that
time he asked that members re-
frain from comment.
The sensational move of the
British-French battle fleets to
the eastern Mediterranean was
ascribed by Chamberlain to hea-
vy Nazi sea losses in the Norwe-
gian campaign. He claimed for
the allies the damaging of two
German capital ships, the sink-
ing of three or four cruisers, de-
struction of 11 destroyers and
five submarines as well as 30
transports and storeships.
Against those losses and an-
other 10 transports reported
sunk—but not confirmed — he
placed allied losses at four de-
stroyers, three submarines and
six minor vessels.
That, he said, radically alter-
ed the basic distribution of s?a
power and enabled the British
to transport units from ♦he
North Sea to the Mediterran-
ean.
Itlitxkricg Expected
But Chamberlain warned that
ihe German blitzkrieg may
strike next in any direction.
Germany, he reminded, holds
the central position in this
war. She has made prepara-
tions, he asserted, which may or
may not be carried out for a
large scale attack on the western
front.
"It may be that their savage
hordes will be hurled against
innocent neighbors in southeast
Europe," he said, "or even a
lightning swoop on this coun-
try."
No such move, he was cer-
Auto High Speed
Dangers Figured
r P
The home office of United Tra-
velers Insurance company, Hou-
ston. Texas,- has accumulated
some interesting statistics in
connection with the cost of au
tomobile high speed and the dan-
ger units attached thereto.
When you drive at 25 miles
an hour, the records of the
United Travelers Insurance
Company show, you establish
seven danger units. In other
words, it is seven times more
dangerous to drive at 65 miles
an hour than it is to drive at 25
miles an hour.
It was for this reason that
the actuaries of the United Trav-
elers Insurance Company calcu-
lated a special policy which is
distributed solely by Good Gulf
dealers throughout the State of
Texas.
United Travelers Insurance
company has established over 450
agencies in Texas which have
been apnroved by the State In-
surance Department, to distribute
this free insurance to motorists.
tain, would catch Britain off
guard. Plans have been made
for any eventuality and dis-
position of allied forces under-
taken accordinkly. Despite ap-
parent initial German successes
in Norway, he predicted that the
advantage in the long run lies
with the allies.
He attribuetd the withdrawal
from the positions south of
Trondheim to inability of allied
forces to land sufficient artillery
and heavy material in the face
of German air power. The allies,
he noted, lacked air bases for
the protection of their opera-
tions.

Houston Causes
Eve-Brow lifting
The bombastic Houston Buff,
gave the Texas league some
thing to think about Thursday]
after blasting their way into the
circuit lead again Wednesday
night with a double victory over
Fort Worth.
It was Houston's heavy guns
that turned the trick and stole
all the show from mediocre
pitching. Houston won the first
game 3 to 2 with Howard Pol-
lett giving up nine hits. Nick Cul-
lop homered for the Buffs in
the seventh with one on base.
Walter C'azen walloped a home-
run for Fort Worth.
Houston slugged its way to a
lopsided, 10 to 4, victory in the
nightcap, opening up with five
runs in the first inning. John
Winsett homered for the Buffs
with two 'on base. Fort Worth
counted all four of its tallies in
the initial frame, with Joe
Abieu homering with one on. It
took four Houston pitchers,
Kempe. Wachol, Boyles ano
Weeks, to keep the Cats in check.
Oklahoma City knocked San-
Antonio out of the lead with a
(i to 5 victory in another game
where the bats swung hard and
heavy. Oklahoma City took 10
safeties from Bob Muncrief and
Art McDougal, including home-
runs by Jorgensen and Corbett.
The Missions pounded McLen-
don and Stein for 13 safe blows,
including Krauss' fifth inning
home run.
Dallas climbed into sixth place
with a (i to 5 victory over Beau-
mont behind the nine-hit mound
work of Veteran Clay Touch-
stone. Jim Levey homered for
Dallas in the sixth with the bas-
es empty.
