Davis has plenty of reserve Mound strength in Jerry Pita, Gibby Gates and George Haskins, as well, Indications are that a top crowd will flock to the stadium tonight to see if the Conchs can maintain their record breaking skein. Sports Roundup By GAYLE TALBOT . LOS ANGELES #—The St. Louis Browns may not go anywhere ex- eept back to St. Louis after the current turmoil subsides, but there will be nothing lackadaisical about their play as long as they have Clint Courtney, the 1952 Rookie of the Year, catching for them, The husky, bespectacled back- stop hasn't changed a bit since he hit the Brownie camp a year ago, vowing vengeance on “them Yanks,” who had let him go when he, personally, felt they should have kept him and turned Yogi Berra out to the bullpen. He's still a throwback to the old-time, hard- bitten fighter who liked to keep a keen edge on his spikes, “How do you think we're going to do?” he demanded at the out- sot, a mean glint in his eye. “You think we haven't got pitching? I tell you this much, it'll be better than we got from that bunch of bums we had last year. It couldn't be worse. We're liable to show you something. “Who do I think will win it? Well, I guesg you've got to say them Yanks, long as they've got that Mickey Mantle out there. 1/ played with him in Kansas City | and TI could've told ‘em they | wouldn't miss DiMaggio. I see} they're worrying whether Phil Riz- wuto will be able to play short all the way. They can quit worrying. That little sucker will be in there.” At least one magnate out this way doubts that General Manager Frank Lane of the White Sox made such a smart move in signing his} new third dDaseman, Vern Stephens, | to ap escalator contract in which the veteran will be rewarded for playing in a-certain number of games When Stephens balked at the con- | tract offered him—it called for a healthy cut of the salary paid him by the Boston Red Sox last sea- son—Lane induced him to singn by promising am. extra $2,000 if he played in as many as 100 games and $5,000 for 120 games. Stephens appeared in only $2 for Boston last year, when he was hagrpered by a/ bad knee. “Prank might find himself in an awkward position before the sea-) son is ever,” opined his rival of-' ficial, who requested anonymity “There are several possib What if the Sox are out the race a week before @ ends and want to try out some rockie in- 3-16?

But this year had a mishap along the North Carolina coast. He had left Key West before 1 arrived to claim his boat. It was through his help (in- directly) that I was able to get inexpensive sleeping quarters at Mrs. Koch’s Island City Hotel and my first winter “vacation” made possible.
