Standing room was scarce on the sidelines and a roaring crowd watched the score tip first one way and then the other, with Petersburg finishing only one basket in the lead Juneau held the lead at the end of the first quarter, 14-13, but by the end of the first half, Petersburg had romped to a 26-23 advantage. At the end of the third quarter, the lead had been stretched to 32-27, but as the fourth quarter got under way, Juneau turned on the heat and closed up. With four minutes to play, Ju- neau rallied strongly and brought the score to within one point of Petersburg’s 36, at which point Ju- neau forward Keith Reischl was fouled Taking the free toss Reischl missed his first free throw in seven at- tempts, and in the ensuing scrim- mage, Juneau's McDaniels fouled Stenslid of Petersburg, who dropped his toss to leave the score at 36- 38, Petersburg's favor. Reischl and Hussey tied as high men for the evening with 12 points each. Stenslid was second high with 11 It was a fighting, hard-checking Juneau squad that almost stopped the Petersburg title rush, but the Petersburg shooting eye was too sharp, those one-handed tosses going into the hoop too rreq\mml_\'.‘ Preliminaries In the first preliminary contest the Grade School five tallied fif- teen points to ,the High School Frosh’s 11, and the Hill Billies and the Feather Merchants played to a 4-4 tie in their ten-minute con- test Last night's box scores are as fol- lows PETERSBURG (38) JUNEAU (36) F—Wanberg, 9 F—P.

Two years ago they engaged a 165 139 147— 451 Dixie track star to teach their Gow- ', 180— 549 anus Gallopers how to steal bases They introduced foot racing and to' the major leagues 484—1471 last year.

Dowdeswell and “Jack Pugh” QF I8 dived during the two-mile Sefton steeplechase at Newbury, England, Norma Taubele and her 56-year-old mother held a family battle right before the eyes of the public when they met in the third round of U. S. women’s indoor tennis championships in New York. The daughter, younger, faster, and the harder hitter, was favored to win. They are shown before their match, Ruth’s waistline, to get their fat boys and rubber-legged veterans in shape for the season. So, with the accent now on con- tioning, baseball = stories from Brocklyn spring training camp read like this: CLEARWATER, Fla,—The Dcd- gers lost 40 pounds today. After tabulating the weight charts, health Director Artie McGovern ! tpare“tbe I{““"{d“‘_e L"’n? Babe 4 eaming with self-approval, proudly announced the lost poundage. | “The drive to route weight,” he observed, “is progressing nicely. “T'll have these Dodgers down to sylths before the season starts. “They’ll be so light they'll breeze along,” he prophesied. “There’ll not | be a stray avoirdupois on the club.” Just then Babe Phelps sped into view, rushing toward the club-house | with all the swiftness and fuss of a | delapidated truck puffing up a slick | clay hill in low gear. H “Take the Babe there,” McGov-| ern suggested. i The reporters refused, with thanks | | Undaunted, McGovern contined | “Why, Phelps is moving around | 80 speedily I wouldn’t be surprised | :“ he developed into a base thief.” | Phelps is the blimp anchored to the turf by oak trunk stems. He | caused great consternation by steal- | ing two bases last season. That was a feat the likes of which the oldest | Brooklynite couldn’t recall. “I'm down to 225,” he pasped, and | sighed pleadingly: “Artie, I won't | be able to get up unless you pro- | mise me a steak tonight.” Luke Sewell znd Tony Lazzeri stumbled up the clubhouse steps. “Old Men,” shouted McGovern, “You reporters talk about our old men. Look at Luke, lock at Tony. Why they don't look a day over 25. They’re hopping around like young- sters.” Artie advanced on Luke's 38-year- old middle and applied the tape measure. “Ah,” he smiled. “A - debutante would be proud of a waist so small.” ‘As ‘McGoverny pranced proudly away, the reporters, dispensing with the formality of a secret ballot,”de- cided to stand by the testimony’ of their own eyes and insist that Sew- ell and Lazzeri still are old men. Asked for comment on the condi- tioning program, the players res- ponded like this: Van Lingle Mung commit a murder. Dolph Camilli to the Phillies Leo Durcoher: y, guys, lay off me. I'm the manager.” Joe Stripp: “It's worse than the Spanish Inquisition.” Harry Lavagetto: vanilla.” And poundage wasn't all the Dod- gers lost today, folks. They lost an exhibition game to Cincinnati, 8-2. “I'd like to Carry me back ‘Just give me | The Dodgers had a lot of early foot, | Harvester 60%, Kennecott 35%, New but_they faded in the stretch i e Elaine Wagner, Dallas high school sophomore, thinks life begins be- fore fifteen.
