Florida Titefnational League ns Seventh Season With LaMotta-Hayes - | Bout To Be Broadcast An assurance of sure-fire action —the rematch of an exciting, close fight—is on deck for the Detroit Olympia fans on April 9 when Jake La Motta gets a re- turn shot at Norman Hayes. Hayes, the young New England middleweight favorite, put a dent in the Bronx Bull's comeback am- bitions with a split-decision win 5 |at Boston on January 28. The F Ae i i it °? - | Hayes looked very well in win- hors at se yor Wednesday night, and West Palm Beach at Fort Lauderdale ‘Thursday night. BASEBALL | RESULTS By RALPH RODEN Associated Press Sports Writer “Sock a ball player where it hurts most—in the pocket book—to make him toe the line,” is an oft- Proved adage. Willie (Puddin’ Head) Jones, the fine third baseman of the Phila- delphia Phillies, is the latest ex- ample that there's plenty of truth in the old saying. Jones was fined $200 by Manager Sawyer on March 17 for breaking training rules. Since then, Willie has been a ball of fire both afield and at the plate. The “new” Jones has been es- Pecially hard on the St. Louis Cardinals, He smashed three home runs in the last four days against the Red- birds, Friday he clouted a 2run homer in Steve Ridzik’s 3-0 no-hit triumph and fielded brilliantly. Saturday he socked another 2- Tun 4bagger in the Phils’ 9-4 romp. Sunday he failed to hit in the Phils’ 9-8 victory but starred , Monday as the Phils made it four | ™ay suffer from the loss of Bobby straight over the Cards with a 54 triumph at Raleigh, N. C. Willie homered in the eighth to launch @ 3-run rally that won the game. Home runs were plentiful at High Point, N.C., where the Phila- delphia Athletics outlasted the Bos ton Red Sox, 124. Eight homers were hit with Joe Astroth, Gus Zernial and Allie Clark connecting for the A’s and Dom DiMaggio. Vern Stephens, Billy Goodman.

Steve Ellis will handle the blow-by-blow direct from ringside. Jake La Motta, ex-middleweight champion, has stepped-up his comeback campaigning. Since his close battle with Hayes in| January, La Motta has been in two rousing, draw-decision bouts Eugene Hairston. The Bronx Bull is, by nature, easy to fire-up and he is expected to go. all-out in order to erase the blot Hayes put on his comeback record last January. Detroit fight fans have always admired La Motta and they are expected to give him plenty of lung-support in this forthcoming match, Norman Hayes ventures into a midwestern arena for the first time. Since becoming a profes- sional in 1949, his campaigning has been confined to the north- eastern sections, particularly Bos- ton. He has had 29 professional bouts, 21 of which were victories. In addition to the La Motta win, ning a 10-round decision over Robert Villemain last December. Cleveland Is Picked To Win This Year By JOE REICHLER NEW YORK (# — The Cleveland Indians failed to win the pennant last year despite baseball's strong- est pitching staff because they won only seven out of 22 games from New York and only one out of 11 at Yankee Stadium. They figured to get even better pitching this year which probably neans more victories against the Yankees. ‘This, in the opinion of the writer, should bring a flag to Manager Al Lopez and his Cleveland club. The American League race should be strictly a 2-team affair between the Yankees and Indians. The Yankees have a better bal- anced club, a stronger attack and a slicker defensive unit, But the Indians have the pitchers to carry their players. If Bob Lemon had enjoyed a normal year, Cleveland could have won the ‘51 flag. Lemon, a 20- game winner for three straight seasons, barely broke even with a | 17-14 last year.

Wickers Sta- dium during the American Legion League games. This is a seriuos problem for. the boys as well as the league. if this group persist in this practice they will find themselves in more trou- ble than the ball is worth. Also the league is operated for the boys who play the sport and is a nonprofit organization, so you see if the balls are kept by others, the players are the ones who will recieve the short end. All parents who live in that area are requested to have their chil- dren cooperate with us in this mat- ter for we are trying to help them as well as the boys on the field. One other matter was noticed Friday night and that is on the parking of automobiles, The City Manager stated that all fans who come in their cars should them in the parking space provid- ed between the wall and Flagler street, There will not be any charge made on the parking lot and it will also cut down the ha- zard that prevails when they are left on the street. Just a thought before next Wed- nesday game. We are not like the major leagues where you may keep a ball, all we want is that it be returned. SPORT SHORTS WINTER PARK (®—The Rollins College crew defeated Dartmouth for its fourth straight victory of the season Monday. Rollins’ junior varsity also defeated Dartmouth’s junior rowers. NEW YORK (—The Daily News said today it has learned that Wil- lie Mays, centerfielder of the New York Gaints, may be deferred from the draft on the grounds of being a “hardship case.” The News said it learned that Mays, last season’s “Rookie of the Year,” is scheduled for. a special hearing Wednesday before the Al- abama State Draft Board in Bir- mingham. Since Mays is the main support of a family of nine, the News said, the Giants’ outfielder may be de- ferred fom service, Mays is scheduled to be inducted into the armed forces May 16. His loss, plus the injury to Monte Irvin, who suffered a broken ankle last | week, is a big blow to New York's pannant hopes. NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J. w— Sgt.

He stopped off at his home in Egypt, Pa., Monday night, appear- ing a little on the heavy side.

That comes from a leading au- ation—Dr. Jay B. Nash, professor of education at New York. Universi- “I don't want kids watching things, I want them doing things,” Dr. Nash told delegates Monday at the national convention of the American Association for Health, eng Education and Recrea- ion. He’ observed that a recent Cros- ley survey showed children spend 30 minutes more a weck before a TV screen than they spend in school. “They should be solving prob- lems, modeling in clay, making things at a work bench, experi- menting in chemistry, throwing a ball, playing a trombone, skinning a squirrel,” Dr. Nash suggested, “They should be learning skills, skills, skills, When. is a peron’s skill-learning decade? From 4 to 14! A pattern formed in a skill during those ages is never lost. If you can skate at 6, you can skate at 60," Dr. Nash made it plain that he does not believe TV programs are bad, or lead to gangsterism, or put other wrong ideas in the kiddies’ heads, It’s just that they spend too much time looking at them. The medium could be used very effectively to teach some skills, he admits. “Watching is one of the best ways of leraning,” he said. “But not if you just stay and watch, and expects it to be a good one, then go out and do it.” Larry Jansen of the New York Giants operates a hardware store in his home town of Forest Grove, Ore., during the off-season.
