mi 11 rvn MM uvu UVJ uvu 9 mm MINNEAPOLIS Or SUNDAY TRIBUNE SUNDAY, APRIL 9, 1944 MJCEES Aragon Catches Brilliantly By HADSEY HALL Of The Sunday Tribune Sports Staff QUINCY, ILL. The Minneapolis Millers won their spring exhibition opener here Saturday defeating the Quincy Trades, 11 to 2, but there was doubt at times as to which were the semipros. This applies to the hitting, not to the fielding. It also ap-. plies to the thinking in a way because the boys got crossed up a couple of times due possibly to concentrated gazing at their opposition.

Off the delivery of three hurler one of whom balked every time he threw the ball and another who pitched like a shot-putter the Kels Kot eight hits and two of these were bloopers. Of their 11 runs only five were driven in. Mr. Wilfred Ryan was mad enough at the finish to have kept the boys at the park for more batting practice but desisted after a noble struggle with himself. On the credit side, the pitching by Mosley and Bain was acceptable.

They allowed orlly five hits. The hustle was good and the catching of Jack Aragon was brilliant. He pulled his favorite stunt of trapping a man off base and as persnickity a pitcher as Loren Bain took occasion to voluntarily praise Aragon's receiving. Roy Mosley went five innings and felt like going more while Bainie worked up a splendid sweat (something he needs) and whiffed seven men in the final three innings retiring the side in the ninth via the breezy route. As a matter of straight reporting we must tell you that two of the best balls hit were captured by the burglarious Jim Cookson in centerfield for Quincy.

New York Group Fights Horse Tax NEW YORK Lf Tom president of the Horse men's Benefit Protective association, said Saturday his organization would fight the tax which the city of New York Friday imposed on horses racing at Jamaica and Aqueduct of one per cent of the value of each horse to appear on the tracks. And then, it was Belfry Chimes in by four lengths. Bobby had ridden a perfect race. And the fans loved it.

The little rider was almost mobbed by the railbirds who crowded into the winner's circle to congratulate him. Permane rode in seven races Saturday. He finished last in the feature while astride Equinox. "Horses just run for me. That's all.

FLA. JF) Jockey Eddie Arcaro dipped the last of the cream off Florida's only hundred million dollar racing season Saturday. The jaunty little saddle artist rode Greentree stable's Four Freedoms to a convincing victory in the $10,000 Tropical handicap, and thus pulled down first money for all three of the richest races of the high-betting season. 4 Rating the four-year-old colt through the early stages, Arcaro put on the pressure the rest of the way and booted Four Freedoms across the finish line In on minute. 49 seconds, emm linr the track record for the mile and one eighth.

Johnson NEW YORK UP) The turnstiles clicked off an attendance record and the pari-mutuel machines beat out a near record tune as New York's racing season opened Saturday at Jamaica but the favorite players took it on the chin as Devil Diver defeated Apache in the Paumonok handicap. Surpassing the track record of 37,284 set on the opening day three years ago, 45.796 fans taxed every facility of the compact Long Island track and poured $2,601,836 through the machines to approach the world betting record for seven races of $2,852,414 established at Jamaica last fall.

Apache, who with the Devil carried topweight in the field of 10, flattered his backers until the final sixteenth and then gave way as little Ted Atkinson brought the Greentree ace from behind to win by one and one-half lengths. 19,000 Likely to See Hawks vs. Montreal CHICAGO UP) Chicago stad ium is expected to be packed with nearly 19,000 fans the largest hockey crowd in history tonight when the Chicago Blackhawks and Montreal Canadiens meet in the third game of the Stanley cup playoffs.

What did fall, probably was in his favor. It settled the dust. When the horses broke from the post, Permane kept Belfry Chimes well back. It was a long race a mile and a half. The horses swept by the grandstand.

Permane was lost in the pack. Some of the crowd groaned. Others realized the youngster was riding a smart race. A roar went up from the throng as the Camden, N. jockey moved Belfry Chimes into contention in the back stretch.

Slowly but surely the horse moved up. 'r00m BOBBY PERMANE the Recreation alleys. Higgs, a local resident who rolls in two St. Paul leagues, mssed the 10 pin for a spare in his first game to deprive him of second place, held by Andy "Soup" Tur-geon with 875. Charles Mory is the leader with 904.

Permane also hung up an all-Florida record by booting home 50 winners in 30 days. The crowd was for the kid in the final race of the eight card program. They wanted to see him win his fiftieth race.
