The Red Sox reportedly are set to go as high as $100,000 for the ex-Marine righthander who won nine games and lost only one in the Texas League last year. The Yankees and Red Sox are two of the dozen major league teams that have no Negro players on their squads. The Yankees, who recently denied a charge of dis- crimination, also plan to bring Vic Power to their spring training camp next February. Red Sox General manager Joe Cronin, replying to the Negro ques- tion, said: “‘We don’t care what a man’s color is. If we find one who looks as if he can be brought along until he’s ready for the big leagues, we'll sign him.” Greason was picked up for the price of a telephone call by owner E. J. Humphries, owner of the Oklahoma City club. He was tipped off to the pitcher by a eningy | sergeant in Greason’s company. 4 National League umpire Larry Goetz, who found himself, in the middle of a rhubarb after criticiz- ing the New York Yankees for their “crying tactics” during the world series, revealed in a letter to columnist Ed McAuley of Cleve- land that he planned to retire soon, The Cincinnati Reds’ decision to move in their right field barrier by 24 feet fits right in with man- ager Rogers Hornsby’s new pol- icy converting the Redlegs from a defensive to an offensive club. “We're going to get our pitchers a lot of runs next season,” prom- ises Hornsby. ‘‘There’s no question in my mind that this Cincinnati team is going to be the. most powerful, from a hitting standpoint in many years. We're going to pre- sent some real long ball hitters in Ted Kluszewski, Gus Bell, Willard Marshall, Andy Seminick, Jim Greengrass and Grady Hatton.” All, with the exception of Semf- nick and Greengrass, are left- handed hitters. Among those anxiously watching | to see if Barney Martin wins a pitching berth on the Cincinnati Reds next spring will be officials of the New York Giants.

PHILADELPHIA, (#—Gil Turn- er’s one-sided victory over Joe Miceli last night proved one thing. Young Turner’s handlers have learned the art of conditioning. The Turner who pounded Miceli into a mass of red welts was a well-conditioned fighter as strong at the finish as at the start. | The Philadelphia Negro didn’t look anything like the fighter who tried to win the welterweight title from Kid Gavilan at the Municipal Stadium here last July. Then he was too light at 144 pounds and drawn and tight looking. | At 149% pounds last night, Turn- ;{ ‘er was as strong as a bull. He took a lot of punishment in the first round from Miceli, the Army private stationed at Camp Kilmer, |N._J.. He took some strong left and right hands later on. But he came on. As it happened, it took 58 sec- onds of the sixth round to com- | plete a walloping job. Now the 22- year-old Turner wants to fight Bob- by Dykes, slim Miami, Fla., welt- er, who holds a split decision over him. This bout probably will come off here in about a month or so. Then, the Turner camp hopes, it will be Gavilah again with a dify ferent ending. ee Sports Mirr or, By The Associated Press TODAY A YEAR AGO—The Los Angeles Rams defeated the Cleve land Browns, 24-17, to win the National Football League cham- Pionship.

Need Split Second For Bowl Games MOBILE, Ala., —It’ll take split second timing to get Paul: Brown to three big football games he’s supposed to coach in the East, deep, South and far West on suc- cessive weekends. Brown, coach of the American Conference pro champion Cleve- land Browns, notified authorities here he’d be on hand next Monday to begin coaching the North team of college all-stars in the fourth annual Senior Bowl game Jan. 3. He assured the Senior Bowl as- sociation he’d remain here through the game, but would leave im- mediately afterward for the west coast. He has a date to coach one of the teams to play in the all- star pro game in Los Angeles Jan. 10. _ Up until Sunday, the hard-work- ing Brown will be very busy coach- ing the Browns for pro football’s biggest game next Sunday in Cleveland. The Browns play the Detroit Lions for the National Foot- ball Leggue title. Ac if to Brown’s plans, he'll eatch ‘a plane at Cleveland for Mobile following the game Sunday. ere, he'll renew one of pro football's biggest coaching rival- ries with Coach Steve Owen of the New York Giants. For the past three years they have had the fiercest series in the pro sport. Each has taken turns whipping the other by narrow margins. Owen now holds a 4-3 edge in their rivalry thanks to that 37-34 upset victory the Giants scored over the Browns in New York on the last day of the regular season. Brown and Owen coached op- Posing teams in last January’s Senior Bowl game here, but Brown didn’t get to stay for the game. He was called to Los Angeles to fill his coaching contract in the All- Star pro game. His assistants, Wil- bur Eubanks and Fritz Heisler, finished up and won the game from Qwen’s South team 206, Inthe far distant .past, the se- quois trees, now found mostly in California, were widely distributed over four continents. BENCH VIEWS By JACK K. BURKE The sporting scene around these parts is a pretty dull affair right now. About the only thing going is the Key West High School basketball team and even they will not see action again until Jan. 7th. Baseball on a big time scale is still hanging. Lou Carbonell ap- peared before the City Sommis- sion and they agreed to meet with the Miami Beach Club own- ers to see if a way can be work- ed out to bring that organiza- tion to this city. Every eivic organization that Lou has appeared before, has passed a resolution to be for- warded to the city fathers asking that they do all in their power to bring Miami Beach here next year. The only ticklish problem is that Fort Lauderdale has prom- ised the Beach officials they have 1500 season tickets already disposed of. It’s true that Key} West will outdraw any team in) the FIL with a first division club, but what the Beach owners want is a guarantee. Who can blame them? If the people in Key West want a team here they will have to do something more than sit around and just talk-about it. Last season the Key West club} outdrew all others, so if they do_ again this season, the question | Miami people want will be an-/ swered. 3 | The corfcession owner, Arman- do Acevedo, last year stated that | he would give up his lease if it} meant keeping a ball club here. | It is expected that he would do} the same this season for he is one man that wants baseball kept in Key West. | Paul Rust and Joe Ryan are/ scheduled to appear before the| City Commission sometime the early part of next month. So} until then all we can do is hope. Yankee Coach Is Optimistic For Win Over South MONTGOMERY, Ala., (®—Yan- kee Coach Rip Engle of Penn State and his rebel counterpart, Coach Ray George of Texas A. & M. were optimistic after putting their squads through their paces yesterday for the Blue-Gray foot- ball game here Saturday. Both were close-mouthed about starting assignments, however. Especially praised by Engle for line performance was Ed Timmer- | man of Michigan State, a halfback who volunteered for guard duty. He and tackle Bill Bruner of Pur- due halved defensive honors. Bill Tate of Illinois and Brad Myers of Bucknell lugged the pig- skin with an ability hat promises a idan Yankee ground at- tac!
