It was a gala occasion. Bands blared, battle-scarred gladiators recalled old times.

Flatbush Fans Mourn Huston As One of Clan Sincere in Efforts to Buy Flock and Give Brooklyn Good Team By BILL McCl LLOl GII Col.

Tillinghast L'Hommedieu 'Cap) Huston never did belong to Brooklyn baseball but, because of the number of bids he made to purchase the club, the fans here felt as though he was one of them. His passing yesterday at his beloved Butler Island plantation was cause of much regret here because "Cap." as he was affectionately Known to tne yrais sent him to Cuba to install a sewer- age system for the entire island. Steve Wouldn't Sell His dream of buying the Dodgers never came true. He confessed the Ebbets people were willing to sell their half interest but that he was sure Steve McKeever never would part with his end as long as he lived. "Wei.

you can't get sore at Steve for that," Huston said. "The club is his toy and by heck! what would he do if he sold it?" Huston made his last bid in the Snring of 1937. offering $1,400,000 rhreyeus before his bid was $200, McKecnnie because, in my opinion. he is the shrewdest field leader in both leagues.

He wanted Tom Winsett, long-legged problem child of the majors, who is a five-alarm riot in the smaller leagues.

And as Win-sett had just two hits in 13 times at bat, he might have landed the fellow. But Heinie Manush had a slight Charley horse and Winsett started In right field. Long Tom must have heard the rattle of the can. He hit hit home runs in his first two trips to the plate, and how can you ship a guy like that to Nashville? Dressen got George Clsar and Art Parks on option instead. Paul Chervinko, the broad-beamed young catcher who Is getting a load of work now that Babe Phelps is Idle with a broken thumb, came up in the second inning with the bases filled and singled to drive in two runs.

In the fourth, the sacks again were densely populated when Chervinko came up. He doubled and three runs scored. That was five runs batted in for Chervinko. He played in 30 games for the Dodgers last season and drove in two runs in those games. Not to mention Buddy Hassett and Freddy Frankhouse, Hassett.

not only cracked a homer, a double and a single but ended the game with a fine running catch in left field. The boys were saying that Frankhouse was a good guy when he had It after his first exhibition appearance when the Bees clubbed him all over the ball park. Yesterday he didn't give the Tigers a hit in the last four innings. In fact, the only hits Detroit got all day were a home run by Roy Cullenbine and a lazy single by Pete Fox. off Hoyt.

The American League bullies! Waite Hoyt, Slugging Pitcher, Crosses Up Own Mag Article fA's were chanting: "Toronto's next!" Kindly Hawk hands loaded Mike Karakas, the gaunt Hawk goaler, onto the train in Grand Central Station last night, easing him into his berth with a prayer that the train trip wouldn't do him any more damage than the Amerks had. That was plenty. TAKE THREE STITCHES IN KARAKAS' HEAD Karakas in particular had felt the fury of the tempest Chicago had stirred up. Three times he went down, crushed into his own mesh with Al Murray, Hopley Smith and Sweeney Schriner on top of him, Once they had to stretch the Hawk net-minder on Doc Clauss' sewing table and put three stitches in his skull. The A's also drew blood on Johnny Gottselig, and Earl Seibert was taking a vigorous massaging from star-shirt sticks all night.

It was a real rowdy-dow starting midway in the second period when the As. goaded into action, decided to put the pressure on. Dutton's men had heard about Chicago's tactics In the series playoffs, and how well they had worked in, first infuriating and then biffing the Flying Frenchmen right out of the Stanley Cup picture. But the wise old Americans weren't drawn into any foolish sparring as the Canucks were. The A's last night handed out the bumps, but not at the expense of business the business ol scoring goals.

The first bit of business came hardly six minutes after the A's decided to get up real pressure in the Hawk goal area. Nels Stewart batted in a pass Lome Carr sent from'the blueline at 16:47. This was a very indicative gORl. It proved once again that the A's have a power play which has been sparking like nothing else the ice lanes have seen this year. The Rangers couldn't stop it; the Blueshirts led, 10, 30 and 20 In their three games with the Amerks, but each time Dutton's men put on steam to get that many goals.

As you know, they won twice. So that old power play brought the As from behind again last night "the hard way" as Dutton said later, perspiration streaming down his happy face. SOKRELL'S GOAL PAY-OFF PUNCH It was a goal by Johnny Sorrell, the old cast-off, from a Beattle-Smith pass, that really won the game in 16:51 of the third, although Sweeney Schriner came out his slump with a goal that tucked the game away with Paul Thompson in the clink. Lome Carr got a penalty shot on this play, but blew it. That was Sorrell's fourth game in these playoffs.

It puts the Old Man Nobody wanted right on top of the Stanley Cup scoring heap. He has cashed in an even dozen goals since the floundering A's, who needed those scores so badly, bought him Feb. 15. So the A's cooled off the Hawks! The Blackbirds are Indeed a chastened lot today, as they face the necessity of winning two straight to stay in the playoffs. They did it against the Canucks; but who'd want to bet they can stop Dutton's old chargers, bucking like fire-horses now that they have that Stanley Cup scent in their nostrils? Needle Work Dutton.

Hearing of Earl Sel-bert's cyclonic rushing which earned three vital goals in the Canf.dlens' series, the A's went to great pains to cover "The Oll'3" wide swerves. The Canadlens' series was a bumping embroglio, and Cully Dahlstrom, Hawk center, wore a plaster patch on his skull as proof of It. Sorrell was the guilty wing when Jenkins got away to set up the first goal, and where was Hooley Smith, who should have bcn backcheck-ing Vow when that gent scored? The eagle eyes in the gallery spotted Lynn Patrick and Butch Keeling In promenade scaU, and kept asking the dear, dead Rangers why they didn't go home. As the going got heavy In the second session Johnny Gottselig also got an earful of hickory from a mysterious source, and later wore a patch over his right funnel, HAROLD PARROTT. -Now, if I pay $8,000 for a bull Bartell was a bust his first year Just think what I'd pay for a good tile Giants after being a star pitcher or a lad who could hit Plenty I But.

While here, the New York delegation will try to sell Outfielder Ernie Koy to the Dodgers. For three seasons Ernie has played for the Yankee Newark farm, but Marse Joe McCarthy has such a wealth of outfield talent that he cannot find any room for Koy.

Last season was Lou's first in a New York uniform and before the campaign was many weeks old he found himself a bench warmer, though in the late stages he came into his own nnd was the team's regular cviiterfielcler in the stretch drive. Evidently, Chiozza is continuing where he left off. All Spring lie hus guarded second base so capably that the ailing Burgess Whitehead isn't missed. Lou is leading the U'am In batting with a .405 mark and his fielding is of a sensational order.

"I won't know what to do when Whitehead recovers from his operation." Terry said today. "Chiozza is playing such great, ball that it would be folly to bench him.

Jm.K.i i I I i 1 By TOMMY HOLMES i Staff Correspondent ol The Eagle Clearwater, Fla March 30 Waite Hoyt, long time big league pitcher, recent radio commentator and essayist, had a piece in the Saturday Evening Post. It was one of those things, so popular nowadays in the Past at least, about the inferiority oi the National League. So Hoyt started for -the Dodgers yesterday against the Detroit Tigers, woh are generaly recognized as second best to the Yankees In the American League, and the Dodgers won by the tender score of 15 to 3. Hits First Homer of Career Hoyt not only pitched grand ball for five innings but climaxed the Brooklyn scoring in the last of the fourth by hitting a home run over the right field fence with one man on base.

Waite says it was the first home run he has hit either In a championship game or an exhibition since he broke into professional baseball 23 years ago. "I'm only two behind Roy Spencer now," added Hoyt proudly. Walter O. Briggs. multi-millionaire automobile body builder from Detroit and president of the Tigers, airplaned over from his Miami Beach home to see the game.

He conferred with Manager Mickey Cochrane on the bench. "With Howe's arm problematical and Bridges laid up with a lame shoulder," Cochrane remarked sage-lv. "It's darned lucky we made that deal with the White Sox last Winter for Vernon Kennedy." "Yes." said Mr. Briggs. Well, Kennedy started for the Ticers and the Doducrs scored ten runs off him in two innings.

Cochrane probably will be somewhat anxious for a while, at least until he hears from Mr. Briggs again. Incidentally, It is odd this influence the Dodgers sway over the hard-hitting Tigers each Spring. Two years ago the Tigers were champions of the baseball world, but Brooklyn beat them in four straight exhibitions. Last Spring the Dodgers won three out of four.

This year two games have been played and Brooklyn has won them both. Charley Dressen, now managing Sport Mirror By the Associated Press Today a year ago Alvin N. (Bo) McMillin signed ten-year renewal of contract as head football coach at University of Indiana. Three years ago Herman Neu-gass, Tulane, equaled world record of 9.4 for 100 yards in Texas relays.

Al Murray of the A's, sallying down-Ice on one of his infrequent rushes, knocked Mike galley-West. Mike had three stitches sewed In above his right ear. The Hawks beefed loudly because Murray wasn't Jailed for this, but it seemed that Karakas, standing out In front of his net with the puck, set himself up as a fair target.
