A moment later Baldwin stole home, and then Horvath came in when Winzler, who had walked, attempted successfully to steal second. Two hits by Baldwin and Mitchell in the sixth put men on first and third, and then Baldwin came home after Mitchell had got himself in a box taking second.

Coach Ed McGibney's Trade outfit shouldn't have any particular trouble with Ludlow. With Bruno Chmura mowing them down, the Beavers were hot in their opening appearance against Ware last week and Ludlow, 0l1 what it. has shown SO far, isn't ready to give them A battle. McGibney will probably shift Chmura, an outstanding infielder, to second base and Carmen Gianetti 10 the outfield, starting Mitch Stanck on the firing line. Like Wise at Cathedral, Coach Johnny Kalloch of Smith Acad- emy is still undecided about his lineup for the opruing of the Hampshire League today.
He will start either Woloss or J. Mullins on the hill with Stanley Rome doing the backstopping. Ed Rome, Kugler, Slusars, Yarrows, Moxie, Mack, Shea, Donnis and Kraft are the squad members who'll play for Smith hut Kalloch has been experimenting with several combinations and the pattern won't be definite until game time.

arranged so that the teams will clash at Thompsonville June 4 and at Windsor Locks June 11. Bump Hadley Let Go by Giants NEW YORK, April 29 --Irving (Bump) Hadley, who at times during the spring looked like one of the New York Giants' best pitchers, was hand. ed his surprise release today. He started two games against Brooklyn and although he finished neither, received credit for one victory. He also had been used in relief once.
He was a veteran of 14 years service in American League and was sold to the Giants during the winter by the New York Yankees, HU SHIH TO SPEAK MIDDLEBURY, V.

HEARST IS 18 YREKA, April 29 liam Randolph Hearst celebrated his 78th birthday quietly today at his 5680-acre estate in Siskiyo County. However, for Wright's Wide on Turn LOUISVILLE, April 29 (AP) -'The high speed Blue Pair nipped Whirlaway in the Derby Trial mile today, but the big "preview" to Saturday's Kentucky Derby didn't prove a thing except that Whirlaway still can come like the wind if he's able to steer a straight road home. In the final test before the running of the Blue Grass classicwhich Col. Matt Winn, Churchill Downs head, predicted today would be the biggest ever with 100,000 spectators on hand-Tom Bragg's colt finished three quarters of a length in front of Whirlaway, but only because Warren Wrisht's little nut ran wide just as the field came out of the stretch turn. Up to that point, Whirlaway had come from fifth place in the field of six -some nine lengths back of the leaders--to look the pace.setters in the eye.
Then, after running on the outside of horses all the way 'round the stretch bend, he couldn't straighten out and WAS more than halfway ed for home. This lost enough across the track when the, field head. ground to cost him the race. No Sign of Injury As for Blue Pair, which WAS rumored to be suffering from popped splint, he didn't run like A colt ered by an injury. le covered the eight furlongs in blistering time of 1.36 3-5, and, if somethjing did hurt him, as reports persisted, it apparently wasn't serious enough either to annoy him today or to keep from Saturday's Derby.
For, at Mine finish, both Willie Crump and Ben Jones, respective trainers, announced that Blue Pair and Whirlaway definitely would answer when the bugles sound, "My Old Kentucky Home." There wore four other starters in race. But after this quartetCadmium, Shaun Quintilian and Sporting--finished far down the track, there was little chance any of them would get to the post Saturday.
