Novikoff, Cubs Outfielder
Topic of Trade Discussions
m mwmmmm* m......
Four N.L. Clubs
Seeking Holdout
Chicago Wonts To
Get Ployer, Cosh
By JUDSON BAILEY
Associated Press Sports Writer
The major leagues using the in-
termission before their fii -t inter
sectional strife of the e.i t: to
feel out trade possibilities and the
foremost figure in their discuss
ions of deals apparently is Lou
Novikoff the Chicago Cub hold-
out outfielder.
Manager Jimmy Wilson of the
Bruins disclosed under cross ex-
amination last night that three oth-
er National league clubs tlv* Cin-
cinnati Reds, New York Giants
and Philadelphia Phillies h. .e
made propositions for the mad
Russian.
The hitch thus far is that the
prospective buyers want to
spend money instead of talent
and Wilson is insisting on a
righthanded hitting outfielder in
exchange for the colorful clout-
er who batted an even .300 last
year.
James Gallagher, general man-
agtr’of the Cubs, has taken the
TMiS'lum publicly at least that
Ncfvmoff would either have to
agree to the Cubs’ terms or remain
out of baseball, nevertheless, Gal-
lagher is making the current east-
ern swing with his ball club and
undoubtedly will be asked about
Novikoff at various stops.
Just what the rival clubs might
be willing to give, or the Cubs
take, for Novikoff, is a matter for
guesswork. The Phillies, who per-
haps need him most, have the
least to offer.
The Giants have offered noth-
ing but cash and the Cubs prob-
ably are covetous of Buster May-
nard, whom they have little
chance of getting. If a player deal
should be made with the Reds,
Gerald Walker might go to the
Cubs.
Brooklyn might get into the bid-
ding. The Dodgers, although h ad- j
ing the National league, are far j
from satisfied with their per' am
ances to date. The team has been
in a hitting slump and of its six ,
defeats, five have been by one run j
and the other by two.

DALLAS. May ll-(/P)—'The
Dallas county soccer league is bat-
ting 1.000 with Uncle Sam.
A. Ramsden of Dallas, chair-
man of the Texas Amateur Ath-
letic Federation Soccer commit-
tee, said today that this league,
which operated with six teams,
now had enough men in the ser-
vice to make up six teams.
“There really are more than
that,” he added, but anyway we
have as many men lighting for
their country as played in the
league."
DODGER RETURNS
NEW YORK, May 11—(/P)—
Hal Peck, rookie Brooklyn Dodg-
er outfielder who shot off two
toes in a hunting accident during
the winter, rejoins the club today
after a brief return to a hospital
for a minor operation on the foot.
Special dress and baseball shoes
have been acquired.
Racing Donates
To War Effort
0 LOS ANGELES. May 11 .......i.Ti
Horse racing should contribute
from $10,000,000 to $25,000,000 a
year to the war effort instead of
the $3,000,000 it turned over in
1942, sav.s Jerry Giesler, national-
ly known criminal lawyer and
chairman of the California Racing
Commission.
Appealing to the National As-
sociation of State Racing Com-
missioners, meeting today in New
York, Giesler wrote the associa-
tion secretary, Thomas Under-
wood that large and excessive
profit from racing should be fore-
sworn.
“The $3,000,000 which horse
racing allotted last year," said
Giesler, “does not present a true
picture in relation to other sports
i because racing is the only sport
where wagering is permitted.
This makes possible large returns
and subsequent large donations.”
Racing, he said, is essential
: only so long as it does not inter-
! fere w ith the war effort and in
, this time of war racing interests
should be content with a lair re-
turn on the investment.

Norfolk Navy 9
By ROBERT L. MOORE
AP Features
NORFOLK, Va.—Memorandum
to 16 major league baseball mana-
gers: Coach Gary Bodie has so
m. nv stars he doesn’t know what
lie's going t< do with all oi them.
But don’t rush, boy’s, because
what baseball playing these fel-
lows do this season is going to be
<ione for the Norfolk Naval
Training Station—and after the
Sailors get through with their
regular navy chores.
You ought to get a squint at the
Sailers’ pitching roster. There’s
( harlie Wagner, formerly of the
Boston Red Sox; Walter Master-
son, "I the Washington Senators;
Tom Earley, of tho Boston Brav-
os, and Freddie Hutchinson, of
the Detroit Tigers.
Won 92 Out Of 102
That’s not all. The Tars have a
fistful ol minor league hurling
aces, several of whom helped the
training station a year ago roll
up an amazing record of 92 vic-
tories in 102 contests against all
classes of competition.
Hutchinson led the Sailors in
pitching last year with 23 wins
and a single defeat. The minor
leaguers include Maxie Wilson,
who chalked up a record of 22-2
tor the Sailors in 1942; Hank
Feimster, owned by the Boston
Red Sox; Ray Volpi, of Louisville
and Kansas City last season, and
Carl Ray, farm property of the
New York Yankees.
The catching assignment goes
to Vincent Smith, the former
Pittsburgh Pirate, who handled
Bob Feller’s slants for the navy
nine a campaign ago, when he
batted .287 for one of the team’s
best averages.
Pint-sized Phil Rizzuto, the lit-
tle scooter of the American
League champions, the Yankees,
will take care of the shortstop
duties. Benny McCoy, of the A’s

Hrrr Hitler and his followers a
bad cum1 of mental wllliwaws.
A williwnw, you know, is that
notorious Aleutian ill-wind which
twial itself into knots at hurri-
cane velocity and blows no man

Fuehrer Moans
The fuehrer is moaning gutur-
ally about the "superhuman hard-
ships" of his troops in Russia,
and about the damnable allied
bombing of Western Europe. If he
knew anybody better than him-
self to whom he could pray, he
would be doing it. Therefore we
may be sure that he eagerly ap-
proves Spanish Generalissimo
Franco’s appeal for peace.
Franco says that neither the
Axis nor the Allies can destroy
the other and “it is senseless to
delay the peace.” That wraps tip
in a tidy package the idea which
is the nazi hope—that Germany
can defend itself stoutly enough
to produce a stalemate which will
leave most of the occupied coun-
tries in its possession.
Hiller's Dreams Gone
Gone ate the days when Hitler
dreamed of overrunning the
world. So weak has his position
become that he no longer wants
to fight for his loot. He desires
peace on stalemate terms, and it’s
safe to get two bits he would ac-
cept a lot less if it were offered
to him The “unconditional sur-
render" being enacted in Tunisia
is stunning Berlin.
Of course we aren’t entitled to
try to read General Franco's
mind. However, it's reasonable to
suppose that in advocating peace
he is considering, among the
many issues, the effect of a con-
tinuation of the war on his own
country. Neutral Spain is like a
States. He has been rounding into

to play intercollegiate sports next
year, Weot Texas can do the
same.
The paper comments that
“when he said there would be no
sports at West Texas next year,
he was talking on the belief that
the reserves would all be called
in. If the reserves are not called,
and enough boys are here next
year, basketball and football
teams will also be found here.”
