Baynard, St. Petersburg, until the minor leagues meeting in Phoenix, Ariz:, in De- ember, Baynard resigned Wednesday after a one-year term and two ites were nominated, are Guy Butler, former sports edi- tor of the Miami Daily News, and Johnny Dell, St. Petersburg, for- mer major league player. An immediate vote on the eandi- detes was 4-4 and Baynard broke the tie by voting to postpone action until later. Phil O'Connell, West Palm Beach, former league president and now vice president, suggested action be delayed. Directors agreed to seek ¢o-op- eration of the seven other Class B They | leagues in raising the player sal- ary limit from $4,000 to $4,800 monthly.

They said he gave himself up at Central headquarters last night and, after posting $1,000 bond, left ak Washington Atty. Charles E. A Prince Georges County, Md., warrant charges Glickfield with attempting to bribe Tom Cosgrove of Philadelphia, senior and first- offensive center on Mary- land’s football team. Glickfield was arrested in Washington as a fugi- tive from that charge. Atty. Ford made it clear he will fight extra- dition. University officials at College Park, Md., a suburb of Washington, said three bribe offers were made to hold down the score against Louisiana State University in last Saturday's game. They said the other ers who told of being approached—not mentioned in the warrant—were quarterback Jack Scarbath of Baltimore, a top con- tender for All-America honors, and Frank Navarro of White Plains, N.Y., senior first-string offensive guard. | FROM ~ According to signed statements by the three players, the student approached them individually and Offered them a total of $1,500 to win by less than 21 points. This method — controlling the point spread—was a feature of the re- cent basketball fix scandals. Maryland beat Louisiana State 34-6, a spread of 28 points. Cosgrove, at center, starts each play in Maryland’s split-T offense. He said he Was offered $1,990. Navarro said he was offered $400, Scarbath $100, Maryland President H. C, Byrd said Coach Jim Tatum notified him last~Friday, the day before the game, that the three players had reported being offered bribes. Dr Byrd said he wanted to an- nounce it immediately, but was dissuaded by police who hoped to eateh the alleged offender in the act “and perhaps find out if any gambling ring was behind him.” “At any rate,” Dr, Byrd said, “this should emphasize to gam- blers they had better leave college football players alone.” Tatum said that, before playing Louisiana State, all his players dressed for the game were asked to sign affidavits stating whether or not they had been approached with any bribe offers, All signed that they had not been, except Scarbath, Cosgrove and Navarro. THE PRESS BOX By OSCAR MILIAN THANKS, CORAL WAY CAFE-jother fans to Seacrest to witness TERIA: Chatting with some mem- bers of the Key West High School football squad early this week in regard to their trip upstate and to Secrest where they dropped the first game of the season, some one what was the most enjoy- able period of the trip. Joe Pineda, Popped out with the first answer and said “The nicest thing that happened, and I want all Key Westers to know it, was when we stopped (the whole squac) at the Coral Way Cafeteria for a bite. ‘The Manager there, whose name I could not learn, greeted the club with a big smile and told the clerk to serve the team anything we wanted, the treat was on the house. Did we eat? Boy oh, boy, we didn’t miss a dish.” HASKINS MEETS A BLONDE On the way back to Key West after the game and during the midst of a session headed by Nelo Aceveto, Dick Salgado shouted, “Hey, where's George Has- kins?” The looked at each other puzzled and they began to worry until one of the boys said, “Don't worry about George, Rem- ember the blonde he met at the cafeteria? Well, that will probably be his alibi for missing the bus.” That John Cruz will not see action this season is no news to this writer, after a conversation with — oon elder te was mn not that 5 oy Bi nursing his leg greatest of care, “We what was considered as the Conchs most important grid test, told friends that he was satisfied that Key West could lick the Suncoast conference leading club if they met again. “We out-played the Seahawks,” said Lou in a very loud and enthusiastic tone. “Lack of kicking beat the club and I'm pretty darned sure that Coach Beckman will have those boys kieking in their dreams from now on. The loss didn't hurt the boys,” continued Lou as he is frequently galled. “In fact, they are over the spe" of being undefeated, which quite a record to try to keep, and from here on you will see a much harder fighting team.” Former heavyweight cham Ezzard Charles is hard at work in an effort to earn another crack at the title he once held and lost to Jersey Joe Walcott, What if/ Charles does win the right to fight for the crown? How long will he last against the powerful-punching Rocky Marciano? It is the belief of this corner that Marciano is going to hold the title a mighty long time. It would take a boxer the type of Gene Tunney or Tom- my Loughran to outwit Rocky and | boxers like that just aren't any more. Wf you want to know the history of any ball player, contact Bob Santana.

Directors voted to open the 1953 Season on April 15 and close Sept. 1. Opening games call for Miami Beach at Havana, Lakeland at Mi- ami, Key West at West Palm Beach and St. Petersburg at Tam- pa. No action was taken immegiate- ly but directors indicated they would abolish the post-season Shaughnessy Playoffs. BENCH VIEWS By JACK K. BURKE WHAT'S IN THE FUTURE With John Cruz out for what looks like the remainder of this season and probably the rest, the Conch backfield will see no help, at least at the present time. John was being counted on heavi- ly, but when an injury of this sort happens, rest and patience is the only cure. He is not alone! there are many, many boys ail over the country that have this happen and you had better believe it, it is a heart breaking job for a doctor to tell these lads that they are through, The Bench watched John last season with admiration, His size and weight was a big factor against him, but with a heart and a will to play, these obstacles were over- come, Several times in the past this column threw some remarks his way, not as criticism as many took it, but to show him the right way, What many thought had no bearing for as far as John was concerned, these words were straight and true. Here’s hoping that he will not try to play much sports till his knee has had time to heal proper- ly. John, you have many more years to play all kinds of athletics so give yourself a break and be Bonus Rule as Action Is Seen At Meet By RALPH RODEN NEW YORK @ — Payment of faney $100,000 bonuses to untried youngsters tosign with major league baseball clubs may be sharply curtailed in 1953. Major and minor league clubs, at their joint December meeting in Phoenix, Ariz., will be asked to vote on a proposed new bonus rule that would limit such pay- ments to $6,000. The new proposal follows the shelling out of vast sums by major league clubs on green talent dur- ing the past several years, During the .past 18 months, for instance, the Boston Red Sox spent some $430,000 for high school and eol- lege stars. Two of the highest bonus players are pitchers Paul Pettit and Billy $100,000. Davidson reportedly re- ceived $120,000 for casting his lot with Cleveland. Neither has yet made the majors. The new proposal was drawn wp rday by a special recommen- discussed, but it was learned that | the bonus was the main topic of | discussion. | The new proposal! provides: 1, Each major league club owner | would agree—in a sort of a “gen- tlemen's agreement" —not to offer a Bonus exceeding $6,000 to any | @ player. to adopt.” Officials of seven clubs said they planned to operate in 1953 but Louis .P. Ordway, West Palm Beach club president, told the di- rectors: “I won't have a club in this | league if you continue to operate | and make such policies as you did | this year, If at any time rules and regulations seem to be wavering, I will quit.” Ordway did not elaborate and said he would make his decision “after I hear what the league plans in top shape before you try again. NAVY GOLF WINNERS The winners in the Third An- ‘nual Navy Golf Tournament were presented their trophies this after- noon at the Key West Golf Club by Rear Admiral Irving T. Duke, USN, Commander Naval Base, Attaining his third straight Championship Crown, Gene Wit- zel was congratulated’ by Adm. Duke and wished many more titles, Runner-up in the championship Flight, A.

Crimson Tide By The Associated Press A full squad of Alabama Crimson | Tiders are on the ailing list and Coach Red Drew is singing the blues, Three more linemen--Billy Shipp, Ed Culpepper and Tommy Till- man -- were forced out yesterday and brought the total of the ailing to 11. On the bright side, backs Bobby Marlow, Clell Hobson and three others returned to practice. Tide defenses looked weak in a drill against Georgia plays. Injuries also plagued the Bull- dogs, who meet ‘Bama in Birm- ingham Saturday. During pass practice Coach Wallace Butts sketehed a starting lineup for Sat- .{ urday that placed several key men on double duty. Art DeCarlo, Billy Young, Joe Scichilone and Hurley Jones all will play at least two Positiqns against the Tide, Two SEC teams that will be visiting Florida this week-end are whetting their offensive game. Au- burn pigskin paraders, who play Florida in a homecoming tilt, worked hard at their passing and running game. Aerials by Dudley Spence drew praise from Tiger Coach Ralph Jordan. Kentucky, which meets Miami in the Orange bowl Friday night, is expected to use several fresh- men and sophomores to plug in- jury - vacated spots. Coach Bear Bryant figures on using at least a dozen underclassmen in the game. Freshmen starter Bill Wheeler is lost for the season with a broken wrist. Florida worked in perfecting plays for the Auburn line. Papa Hall is slightly injured but should be ready to go by game-time, Dodd was ed about the Jackets’ chane-s against Duke Saturday. “Just flip a coin,” he replied. Defenders and offenders alike had a rough day on Tennessee’s practice field, At Nashville Coach Bill Edwards continued his personnel shakeup by giving freshman Carroll Toups a starting job at left guard. Jason Papuchis took over line backing duties to give Chuck Newman more time for fullback duties. Four SEC teams in Mississippi and Louisiana have a neighborly get-together Saturday. Mississippi State polished its attack for Tulane in New Orleans. And Coach Gay- nell Tinsley fell back on freshman Sports Roundup By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK Addressing the regular Monday meeting of the Football Crying Society at one of the better class beaneries, Coach Lou Little of Columbia devoted himself at some length to a warn- ing that Army will be back among the nation’s gridiron titans by this time next fall.

Despite the fact that the Lions | gained a 14-14 tie by virtue of a last-minute touchdown pass on Saturday, Little unhesitatingly classed Army as “the best team we have played this year.” As Colum- bia previously had lost to’ Prince- ton and Penn, this statement took in considerable terrain. “The job Blaik has done with | LSU reserves to: pateh his injury- riddled squad for Ole Miss.
