PAGE TWO PITCHERS NEED EARLIER SPRING WORK IS CLAI Idea Is Gafig Support- Here's Roundup of Monday's Games (By the Associated Press) Major league -baseball men who claim that pitchers need an earlier spring training start had fresh evi- dence today to support that opinion. Among those urging that mounds- men be permitted to begin practice at least a week prior to the March 1 grapefrut season opening are Casey Stengel, Manager of the New (T'S THE REAL McCOY P BALTIMORE, Md.

The teams made 37 hits between them—21 for the losers and 16 for the Braves. Another quiet little contest was played at Clearwater, where the Philadelphia Phillies unleashed a 17-hit attack against the Washing- ton Senators to win, 13-8. Washing- | ton got a dozen hits, making 29 for the game. The St. Louis Cardinals and the vankees engaged in a Donnybrook at St. Petersburg which wound up 8-7 in favor of the Cards. A couple of minor league teams got the slugging spirit, too. Kan- sas City (American Association) beat Memphis (Southern Associa- tion) 23-6, and Buffalo won an In- ternational League exhibition from Springfield, 21-6. Not all the major league contests featured batting. Cleveland’s Jesse Flores and Dick Rozek gave only two hits in letting Pittsburgh down. 3-1.

The Commission said Charles would be able to fight in two months. But, Promoter Dewey Michaels of the Fairview Athletic Club washed his hands of the whole thing and said the fight was cancelled. Michaels had sunk about $10,000 into trying to promote Buffalo’s first heavyweight championship fight and apparently wasn’t willing to go along with another postpone- ment. Even a sell-out at $80,000, witn Charles collecting 40 percent and Beshore 17':, wouldn’'t leave Michaels with much of a margin over the additional outlay.

Last night Ada Winther was high game scorer with 168 and high series bowler was D. Oldham with 448. Team and individual scoring last night follows: By JACK HAND CLEARWATER, Fla., March 28 - (m—They called Richie Ashburn “swell headed” last summer. Some- how his hat didn't seem to fit his head. The Phillies’ rookie flash of 1948 has changed. Phil teammates noticed the dif- ference in the two-headed kid from Tilden, Neb., who sprang out of nowhere a year before. The eager, hustling youngster who played serv- ice baseball in Anchorage, Alaska, had disappeared. Now he was a “big leaguer.” “A year ago I was sitting on top of the world,” explained Ashbura in+a subdued voice. “I had a good first year. I was a big league ball player. I had made it. Now every- thing is different.” A chastened Ashburn came south this spring, an outsider in the battle for his old center field job. All winter he read how Manager Eddie Sawyer counted on Eddie Sanicki, a home run-hitting recruit - from Toronto. «I know I have to win that job back,” he said. Ashburn’s fielding suffered last season but his hitting was the big flop. There was a time he didn’t get a hit for almost a month. Down went the average 49 points from .333 ta .284. “I don’t know what happened to me last year,” he said, “some say I didn’t hustle. That's what one of the front office men told me. I didn’t feel that way. But whatever it was I had a bad year.” 2-MINUTE RULEIN BASKETBALL GAMES MAY GET REMOVAL NEW YORK, March 28—(P— College basketball coaches discussed the controversial two-minute rule in a closed session today, with indi- cations they would urge its removal from the books The rule provides that the team fouled in the last two minutes keep possession of the ball, Its purpose is to reduce intentional fouls near the end of the game. Opponents of the regulation de- clare the rule not only has failed in this, but has created these other flaws: o 1. It drags out the game. 2. It virtually reduces the game from 40 to 38 minutes. 3. It favors the team in front at the time it goes into effect. BASKETBALL TITLE. GAME ON TONIGHT By . Will Grimsley NEW YORK, March 28—@— City College of New York rules a two-point favorite tonight to sub- due Bradley for the NCAA cham- pionship and thereby gain basket- ball immortality. A victory for the once-unsung Beavers, who have been hot as a stove lid for the past two weeks, would make them the first team to win the sport’s fabulous “double”— the two kig national tournament titles in a single season. It would be the hardwood equiv- alent of Bobby Jones’ “grand-slam” in golf, or, say, citation’s “triple crown” in racing. The championship game will take the floor at Madison Square Gard- en at approximately 10:15 p.m. following #%e third place consola- tion title between Baylor and North Carolina State, The game has been a’sellout for weeks and ticket demands indi- cate it would draw 100,000 if space permitted.

Hollywood, San Diego, Oakland and Sacramento are the host cities for opening day.

The 28-year-old fighter had a string of 15 straight victories at| the start of his pro career, but Jimmy Reeves ended it here in 1941 by copping a decision. Reeves outpointed him again a month later. Then in 1944 Jake took a ter- rific beating from Lloyd Marshall. FIGHT DOPE Two small ring events last night | as follows: Providence, R.

DORIS ANN BARTLETT GIVES LIBRARY DRIVE $100 JOG ON ROAD After lying dormant for almost a | week, the drive for funds for the | Juneau Memorial Library today got | a definite boost toward its goalf—’ this time from Washington, D.C, but from a tried-and-true Juneau- ite. Doris Ann Bartlett, teen-age daughter of Alaska Delegate E. L. Bartlett, now going to high school in the nation’s capital, wrote that | she wanted to donate $100 to the fund. ! B. D. Stewart, acting drive chair- | le man, announced he received the|® letter from her today, and he dis- | patched a pledge card for her to fill | out. She said in her letter that she was homesick for the home town, and wished she were attending Ju- neau High School. When Doris Ann’s pledge is re- ceived, the amount to be raised will dip almost to the quarter-mark below the $5,000 platform, in which neighborhood it has hung for some time. The exact sum will be $4,770.24. RED FORCES ARE BEATEN BACK ON HAINAN LANDING (By Associated Press) Nationalist Chinese defenders of Hainan Island said today they “completely annihilated” Commun- ist forces which stormed ashore yesterday. Hainan, 10 miles off the Com- munist-held South China main- land is the second largest terri- tory left to Chiang kai-Shek’s gov- ernment. The Nationalists claimed 4,000 of Communist General Lin Piao’s “steel corgs” were Killed, wounded or captured in the inva- sion attempt. It was not clear immediately whether there had been an all- out Red offensive to take the is- land ore merely a preliminary jab. The battle arrayed two of China’s most famous Generals against one another, Lin won his spurs in Man- | churia fighting. He led Red Forces in their southward surge and com- manded armies that took many | key Ctinese cities such as Peiplrig and Canton. The island is defended by Na- tionalist General Hsueh Yueh who is a veteran of Hunan Province’s war against the Japanese. He has boasted he can hold Hainan against any Communist attempt.
