Avenger To Start Tonight Key West Kennel Club Result Charts Tuesday, Mar. 3rd Cliff Waller’s Julienne Cops Victory Tuesday At.Kennel Club F. B. Stutz’ frisky two-year-old greyhound Avenger will be seek- ing his third straight win tonight when he goes to the post in the feature race at the Key West Ken- nel Club. But the fawn colored puppy will have a tough time of it when he faces his arch enemy at the track -- Cliff Wallers’ Jaden. | His other tough competitor, Spit- tin’ Image with whome he has waged many a titanic duel in action thus far in Key West’s first racing season will not start to-/| night. He is in Miami for the All- Florida Derby stakes at the West Flagler Kennel Club. Avenger, who is the holder of the track record over the 5-16 mile course at 31.2 seconds, a mark he set last week in edging the field, will also face trouble in the form of Magnate who ran a good second in that race. Mag- nate is a stablemate of Avenger who shows plenty of promise. Other entries include Joy Street, Last Summer, Renegade, Hill Queen and Tammie, Post time is 8:15 p. m. In last night’s feature, Cliff Wal- ler’s two-year-old Julienne came around the outside to capture a fairly easy verdict over a top field of greyhounds including Forward and Mort who finished second and third in shat order. The winner took the lead at the halfway point and maintained his edge to gain the win by a length. But Forward has a tougher time of it when he gained second by @ neck. Julienne paid a whopping 23.00 to win,.14.60 and 10.60. Forward returned 6.40 and 2.80 while Mort, who went into the race a heavy favorite, returned 280 to show. The Daily Double, Lustre Gal and Flashy Reward paid 24.30, Texas Christian Wins Cage Toga FORT WORTH, Tex, (#—They are calling Byron Brannon a mir- acle coach today--and there was a record to back it.up. The headman of.Texas Christian University basketball had just won another Southwest Conference championship, He did it with a team that would have considered taking half its games a:fing’ season. Brannon had lost all éf his regu- lars from last year’s championship team -- 10 seniors bad departed -- when he faced the 1953 campaign with the statement that “I hope we can make a fair showing.” Last night the Frogs were faced with the task of beating Texas supposedly to gain a tie for the championship. But Brarnon’s Bud- dy, Doc Hayes of Southern Meth- odist, sent his team out all fired up to beat Rice 68-64 and Brannon’s boys knocked over Texas 68-50, That handed the title to TCU--its second plus a tie in three years.

TUCSON, Ariz. @ — Having attained the ripe age of 34, Bobby Feller has decided it’s time he| takes things a little easier as he | prepares for his 15th season of pitching for the Cleveland Indians. | The old all-American boy from | Van Meter, Ia., has quit running jacross the outfield for hours on end, for one thing, and he is lim- bering up his famous right arm by easy stages. The former terror of the exhibition circuit is pointing | himself for the start of the real | race, and there is a strong feeling | in the Indians camp that Bob is going to make himself « fine come. }back after his disappointing 9-13 record of last year. “Along about here a man who has thrown as many baseballs as I have doesn’t feel as fresh and | rested the next day as he used to,” | the game's winningest pitcher said “He has to begin to conserve him- | self a little. But I feel I've got} several more good years to go. The arm feels great.” Actually, Feller’s performance last season was not as poor as it | looks on paper. The Indians’ por ous defense let in 23 unearned runs | against him, or approxima’ ERA re ANNOUNCING “My job is to make him get his | hands right down on the ground and keep them there, and at the same time get his head down as low as he can, looking right st the ball.

I struck out 348, was the slider. I got more strikes witn it than with either the curve or fast ball. It broke only a very little, but I “It's funny, but a lot of people jthrew it very fast and wasn't think I had only a fast ball when I came up,” Feller said. “They're wrong. I had a real good curve} from the start, though it got better later on, I think the reason people don't remember my curve back in the middle ‘30s is that Rollie Hemsley was what we call a fast- ball catcher, He seldom wanted | afraid to go for the corners with it on any pitch. “I know a lot of managers don’t like their pitchers to use the slider, and there is some reason for it. My advice would be for a pitcher not to use it until the season is} well along and his arm is strong | anything else. Frankie Pytlak, who | #4 limber and his control sharp. caught me later, would call for the curve on a 3-2 pitch. “It might surprise you to know that my best pitch in 1946, the year I never used it until after a month or 80."
