12 BROOKLYN EAGLE, SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1941 P. S. A. I. Opening Pitchers Sparkle Terrier Nine Keeps Place In Spotlight Brilliant Mound Work Is Feature of Bid To Hold City Title The big surprise of the C.

H. S. A. A. race, of course, is the showing of St.

Augustine's, but even at that It has to take a back seat momentarily. The Purple and White went on to win its third successive game of the season behind Tommy iCiaffone, O'Brien, Murray Notch Impressive Victories BOROWY BOLSTERS BID FOR JOB WITH YANKS Hank Borowjr, pointing for Job with the New York Yankees, kept eight bits well scattered yesterday as he pitched the Newark Bears to a 7 3 victory over Montreal In the International League. The win Increased the Bean' league lead to t'i garnet over the Royals. Jersey City climbed Into a third-place tie with the idle Buffalo Bisons by beating the Rochester Red Wings. 2.

In a game featured by 15 walks. i 1 1J .1 vTC5 t- lm II1HMM H.Ati?l By JOHN ROSS There's no doubt about It now, Brooklyn P. S. A. L.

ball fans are really going to see some claasy pitching thia season. There was as definite indication during the exhibition play that the number of good flippers in the loop was exceptionally large, but in some cases the mild opposition they faced left room for speculation. Well, taking a look at the scores of the three games played as the league got started yesterday, the young mounds-men weren't kidding. An oddity, indeed, is the fact that in Chandler's four-hit pitching yester day, but St. Francis Prep defending city champions, simply refuses to step out of the spotlight.

While St. Augustine's was scoring a 43 win over St. Michael's, Ed Tonkin, who notched a three-hit shutout over Bishop Loughlin Just a week ago, came back to set down St. John's with a tainted run and DRUG-STORE BALL BACKFIRES ON BULLA Jhnny Won't Be Among Those Present two hits as St. Francis scored a 4 1 triumph.

Tonkin Whiffs 17 Tonkin's record for two games In Goodall Round-Robin Golf Tournament By RALPH TROST Eaile Photo by Oeller THAT'S AS FAR AS HE GOT THAT TIME Peewee Reese slides into third base after the catch of Joe Medwick's fly in first inning ogoinst Chicago Cubs yesterday. Peewee didn't get any further in that frame but later in the game enough Dodgers scored to beat the Cubs, 7 3. Johnny Bulla, winner of the Los Angeles open this Winter, won't be among those present at Fresh Meadow May 22 to 25, when the top 15 professionals meet in the Goodall round-robin. The big boy from the Carolinas won't be there because from the P.G.A. viewpoint Bulla has been a very bad boy.

Not be Marteliano Lucky Linz-Schneider To Last With Zivic Meeting Likely In Wall Series ANGOTT RETURNS, BEATS CASTILLOUX Louisville, May (UP Sammy Angott of Louisville came back into action after a five-months layoff last night and pounded out a one-sided decision over Canadian lightweight champion Dave Castilloux in a 12-lound non-title bout before a Derby Eve crowd of 3,000. Angott, the B. A. lightweight champion, has been out of the ring since suffering an injury about five months back, but won all but one round over Castilloux. Angott scored the only knockdown of the fight in the third and the Canadian wu unable to make a fight of it until the 11th.

each tilt the starting pitchers went the route. Two tame were decided by one run, the other by a pair. That'a one of the best opening day records In yean. Abraham Lincoln, defending city champ, got a mild scare from Samuel J. Tllden, but the Coney Islanders' punch brought In a 53 win at Lincoln Field.

Frank Claffone, the Honest Abes' pltching-hittlng star again stole the show. The 16-year-old lad, though hindered by three errors, scattered seven hit and stayed out of serious trouble by fanning nine. Frank was the ring leader of the Lincoln attack, too, getting three hits in as many trips. Reinertsen of Tllden also did some clouting, getting two doubles in four tries. Danny O'Brien, Erasmus Hall's rookie sensation, hurled a fine duel with Harvey Oreen of Lafayette and came up with a 21 win at Erasmus Field.

O'Brien gave up six hits, two of them in the fourth when the Bensonhurst nine scored its only run. Green limited the Buff and Blue to three safeties, but an outfield error in the first gave Erasmus an important run. The surprise tilt of the day waj the Manual Training-Boys High affair at Boys Field. With two newcomers on the hill, here wae another good pitchers' battle. Tommy Murray gave up five hits and nosed out Manual, 32.

Murray's opponent, Dan De Luca, was touch, ed for six hits, two In the sixth when Boys High won the game. Unbeaten Grover Cleveland came through its big test in the Queens P. S. A.L. race with flying colors by walloping Flushing, 143.

Flushing had previously won four In a row and was tied with Cleveland for the lead. Dick Scheuerer was on the hill for the Indians and he limited the foe to five hits, while he, himself had a perfect after-, noon with three singles. In the other Queen league 'games, Franklin R. Lane scored a nifty 10 -win over Far Rockaway's hard-luck pitcher, Ray Wertls. Gordon Thomas pitched six innings for Lane and won his game with a single in the seventh.

Last Winter In the Garden Brownsville's Al polished off Tony Marteliano, one of the menaces of the 147-pound division, after a rousing rally in the final round. Last night in the New York Coliseum Fritzie whipped Mr. Marteliano, still somewhat of a menace, in much the 14 Innings is one run and five hits.

St. Francis' record for three games is two runs and nine hits. Warren Stanton pitched the other gam, against St. Michael's, and gave up a run and four hits. Yesterday, Tonkin gave up the fir.t hit in the opening frame when Buddy Schum singled to left.

Schum scored after a fielder's choice and a wild throw first" base by Al Stothard. The only other Redman hit came in the fifth, with George Armbruster singling over second. Tonkin fanned 17 and passed two. Bud Whaley'i hard smash over second in the last frame accounted for the Purple and White's winning run against St. Michael's.

In another. C. H. S. A.

A. tilt. Brooklyn Prep upset Loughlin, 74, the latter getting but two hits. Brooklyn Friends continued to have trouble getting more than one hit in a game as Staten Island Academy notched an 111 triumph at Friends Field. Newark Academy and Adelphl played to a sjx-inning 1313 tie in a game that was stopped by rain.

Parkways in Two With Philly Stars The Bay Parkways face a tough hurdle in their effert to clear the .500 mark when they meet the Philadelphia Stars, Negro National League team, in two games at Eramsus Field tomorrow. The Stars have been playing ball in the South for the past month and will go into action with an edge in condition.

Dave Campbell, former Black Yankee, will be at second base for the Philadelphia team, whose Infield also Includes Jimmy West, flashy fielding first sacker. Larnle Jordan, shortstop, and Pat Patterson, third. The Parkways will take the field with either Abe Abrams or Diber-steln at first base; Jimmy McKin-on at second, Steve Sargent at short, Ernie Smith at third, Don Principe, Bobby Brydpn and Johnny Maruska in the outfield. Principe Is the former Fordham football star signed by the Tim Mara's New York Giants. cause he was disqualified in the national open championship last year, along with Ed Oliver and those others.

Not because he quit right In the middle of a tournament down In the Carolinas and let it be said that his reason for withdrawing was Ralph Guldahl slowness. No, neither of those Incidents is connected with Bulla's nonappearance at Fresh Meadow. He's out for a grave reason, probably the most serious of all the golf ball he uses. Silence Was Misleading Bulla Is the boy who plays a ball with a drug store name on it. There's nothing wrong in that of itself.

But Bulla by remaining perfectly quiet whenever the matter came up let It be assumed that he was playing the very same ball that was being sold three for a dollar over drug store counters. That sort of made the other fellows mad because It looked as if Bulla was good enough to propel a 35-cent ball Just as effectively as the other lads operated their 75-cent ball and at the same time It sort of suggested that a 35-cent ball was Just as good as a 75-center. Out on the Pacific Coast this Winter the matter of the drug store ball popped out Into the open. Romantic writers after Bulla's victory, broadcast the 35-cent ball myth. Bulla under pressure denied that his 35-center was run of the mill stuff.

He admitted that his ball not only was a special but it was of the super-special variety and had a compression point of not merely above 90, which seems to be as hard as most of the strong-arm squad uses, but over 100, which is Just about as hard a ball as any one can hit. Bulla's explanatory statement didn't get half the public attention given to the earlier stories of the 35-cent ball. Down In Florida this Winter the ball situation popped up again. Reporters in St. Petersburg and Miami took sides and there was a swell little war which pushed legitimate golf news out of the papers in favor of the fight over Bulla, SYNDICATE LEASES STARLIGHT, COLISEUM A syndicate headed by Robert Kaplan, Manhattan architect and engineer, has obtained a long-term lease, with an option to purchase, on Starlight Park and New York Coliseum.

The swimming; pool area and facilities have been leased to Restauranteur August Janssen who plans to install some 30 bowling alleys in the Coliseum and hopes to run major tournaments. The Dodger Athletic Association, headed by Bill Johnston, will continue promoting boxing and wrestling In the Coliseum and the New York American soccer team will continue at Starlight Park on a long-term let.se. same fashion. Zivic put Marteliano down twice in the 10th and final round of their non-titular affair. Now, there Isn't much significance to Zivic's victory, but since Fritzie and Al will meet for the title at the Polo Grounds in June, we should draw some parallel in their respective fights with Marteliano.

If it means anything, Fritzie managed to handle Tony with much more ease than Brownsville's Bum-my. Saved by Bell Each Time It will be recalled that Davis was behind on points in his battle with the East Side Italian until the 10th round, when he put him on the floor for a nine count and probably would have knocked him out if not lor the final bell. Last night's fight was fairly even going into the seventh, but the welterweight champ romped home from there. After blowing the sixth on a fcul, Zivic went to work on Tony's body and took all the fight out of him with this attack. As in the Davis affair, it was luck for Tony that the 10th round was the last.

Garidaldi Faces Piummer Gino Garibaldi tangles with Lou Piummer and Rudy Dusek hooks up with Len Macaluse in feature bouts on a mat card at the Broadway Arena tonight. Tommy Rae and Warren Bockwinkel, Paul Boesch and Henry Kulkovlch are pairings in other matches. While four-wall followers are preparing for a pair of lively Met A. A. U.

doubles semi-final tomorrow, the mad scramble for Frank Coyle's singles crown is rapidly clearing the first-round eliminations at the Pastime A. C. And "mad" is a good way to describe the singles squabble, what with Coyle, Ed Linz and Ken Schneider grouped in one half of the draw and Angelo Trulio, Henry Hsrz, Bill Lauro and Tom Ginty in the other. Thus far, there have been no startling events, but starting with the second round, -Where Linz anil Schneider are expected to meet, there'll be one hot time In the Bronx, and we don't mean perhaps. With so many stars entered and the Pastime court noted as it is for major upset results, It's no small wonder enclosure die-hards throughout the city are all het about the coming battles.

Trulio is hoping for a comeback in this tourney, as this is the first time in 11 years he's without a title. Coyl3 beat him in this event last year, while his State diadem fell before Schneider's spectacular onrush last Winter at the Central Ginty gave as good an exhibition of his Pastime prowess as he's ever rendered in wading through his elimination opener against John Abate, a newcomer In the four-wall ranks. Abate watched Ginty polish off his streamline kills for a 21- 21-0 rout. Herz experienced better opposition in Pastimer Mike O'Breln, as revealed in the 21-8, 21-16 tally. Vlnce Martinelli had the best battle of the lot Is subduing Sol Schwartz by 21-17, 21-20.

The other games wound up with Al Sllverblatt outplacing Bernie Skolnick, 21-1, 21-12, and Ben Perkins whipping Dave Gordon, 21-9, 21-7. The singles will resume next week, but tomorrow the doubles semis will hold the center of interest, Coyle and Linz oppose Dick Bnjck and Harry Lazarain, while the Martinelli brothers tackle Ginty and Bill Waxman. New Doubles Schedules The rain last night washed out the Met doubles semis at Bedford Branch and as a result a new schedule has been arranged, Herz and Whltey Kotel meeting today, Newtown Netmen Register Fifth Straight Victory Newtown's netmen seared their fifth straight Queens P.
