ON THE LAM ... with Jim Lamhofer Thursday's sports hash... Eastern conference cage observers have been saying that Fullerton JC's towering center, 6-foot 6-inch Roy Irvin, is better right now than any center in the southern division of the POC, including Jim Ramshead. They said his height, ruggedness and agility made it impossible to guard him in the key. But what will they say now? Reports from Mt. San Antonio, where the Mounties bopped the Hornets 49-46 Tuesday night in one huge upset, indicate that pivotal Al Carroll and Don Benson of the winners alternated to completely tie up Irvin, and force the ex-Montebello High all-CIF ace to drop out of the key to score each of his five field goals, a greatly subpar number for Irvin. The venerable Connie Mack has provided the baseball world with a chuckle by labeling his Ferris Fain's charges that his Athletic earnings are meager as "popping off" as a result of "associating with a bad crowd," who "put words in Fain's mouth." If "Mr. Mack" is right, it's the first time it has ever been known necessary to supply words to the American league batting champ from the Bay Area, who didn't acquire the nickname "Cocky" through being any shrinking violet. In all fairness to Fain and his gripe, however, it must be said that it would undoubtedly be more financially rewarding to be loop batting king with some other club than the A's. Speaking of the beloved Connie This year insiders are betting it'll be Jim Brideweser, only three years away from college ball at SC. They say that with Coleman slated for service recall around April or May, and with Dr. Bobby Brown tied up with Army medical duties; wise old Casey Stengel, the man with the Midas touch, will keep the versatile McDougald at third and will move a slowed-up Phil Rizutto to second, giving Brideweser his chance at the shortpatch, where he performed so capably for the San Francisco Seals last year. If Brideweser isn't the rookie standout for the Yanks this year, it's likely to be another former Trojan, Archie Wilson, who may wind up ahead of both the bally-hooed Mickey Mantle and the confident Jackie Jensen in the light for No. 1 soeding in the DiMagless NY center field. Wilson was voted most valuable player in the International league with Buffalo last year, after San Francisco let him slip through its fingers.

Track Experts Feel Americans Are Working too Hard too Early NEW YORK (P) — Are candidates for the United States track team burning themselves out with topflight performances six months before the international games at Helsinki? Foreign track authorities believe they are and refused to grant their own runners permission to compete indoors here this winter. Dan Ferris, secretary of the Amateur Athletic Union, says racing once a week this early in the season is too much. But Fred Wilt, FBI agent who has spent the winter chasing Don Gehrmann home in the mile, says he should reach the Olympic trials in peak condition for the 5000 and 10,000 meter runs. “We invited stars from seven or eight countries to run in our indoor meets but they all refused,” said Ferris today. “They said they didn’t want to run indoors during Olympic year. But they asked to be invited again next season.” Ferris pointed out that Sweden’s Gundar Haegg ran on the boards here one winter and then set a world record next summer in the mile. “But Haegg was a superman,” was the reply. The Swedish flyer holds the world record of 4:01.4 for the mile. Roger Bannister, who impressed American experts with his 4:08.3 in the Penn relays last spring, told the AAU he planned no running outside of his native England before the Olympics. “With our national indoor championships coming up Feb. 16 I probably shouldn’t say this,” "I don’t blame Felix for getting all the money he can to continue athletic relations with Texas Tech unless the latter school abolishes its line against colored players on opposing teams? Didn’t Eddie Macon, Negro halfback, play for College or Pacific against Tech in the Sun Bowl last month? The New York press is really aiming a barrage of acrid criticism at new state boxing commissioner Bob Christenberry for approving Referee Ruby Goldstein’s precedent-making act of stopping the Livio Minelli-Johany Saxton fight a couple of weeks ago, and declaring it “No Contest”, because Minelli allegedly would not stop running long enough to fight. The boys behind the typewriters say Minelli, if running is his type of defense, has a perfect right to protect himself from injury in his profession. The jury should be the millions who saw the match on TV all over the country. Was it a fight or was it not?

"With our national indoor championships coming up Feb. 16 I probably shouldn't say this," said Ferris. "But I believe our runners overtax themselves by performing once a week so far in advance of the Olympics. That goes for the sprinters as well as the distance men. "While milers like Gehrmann and Wilt are burning up the boards every week, the foreign runners, especially the powerful Swedes, are doing nothing more than keeping in condition. They'll be fresh when the weather permits outdoor competition." Jefferson Defeats George Washington Holding the cagers from Thomas Jefferson to a mere point out of two points for the first quarter, the George Washington hoops rolled to a 21-6 victory yester afternoon at Washington school grounds. The game played under the rection of the Anaheim Recreation department was one of unusual interest.

Gazette SPORTS Debate Still Goes on Between Norris and Bocchicchio over Walcott's Plans MIAMI, Fla. (UP)—The great debate between promoter Jim Norris and Jersey Joe Walcott's manager continues today with the site, site and opponent of the heavyweight champ's next fight all indefinite. Norris, president of the International Boxing club which holds exclusive right to Jersey Joe's services, reported progress last night after a fourth session with Lix Bocchicchio, Walcott's manager. "We're certainly no further start," said Norris. "I think we have reached some mutual bounds on our negotiations." "As far as I'm concerned a Walt-Ezzard Charles match is the key possibility. And the Charlesople feel the same way. After we have a contract for a reen bout. We didn't mentionicky Marciano's name at all to me." "I don't blame Felix for trying get all the money he can get. We're still talking, taking up different propositions. Some time this week we have to reach a deadline. Mr. Christenberry (Bob Christenberry, chairman of the New York State Athletic commission) is serious about the mid-February deadline he set for Walcott to sign." Bocchicchio wants permission to bypass Charles and fight Marciano, the unbeaten slugger from Brockton, Mass. The Charles camp is holding firm to its demands for fulfillment of the return bout contract signed last year before Charles was knocked out by Jersey Joe in Pittsburgh. It was understood Bocchicchio's latest proposition amounted to a $100,000 guarantee to Charles from a proposed Marciano-Walcott gate. If Charles would agree to step aside, Bocchicchio's plan also would assure Charles of a 30-30 percentage split with the winner in June. American Loop To Have Top Fly Chasers CHICAGO (UP)—A few of baseball's flowers that bloom in the spring also may blossom in American league outfields this summer. The big league pace is fat for rookie outfielders, but the junior circuit has a flock whose minor league records indicate they'll make a good try to stick. Take the St. Louis Brown. New manager Rogers Hornsby will have an outfield battle among newcomers that should resemble and Easter egg hunt. Pride and joy of Hornsby is Jim Rivera, the Pacific Coast league batting champion from Seattle, who last season batted .352. He also led the league in runs, 135 hits, 231, and doubles, 40. Although a hefty chap, Rivera also stole 33 bases, which bespeaks speed the Brown's can use. The Brown's also have highly-touted Frank Saucier, whose hold-out tactics provided his best 1951 performance, Bob Nieman, Earl Rapp and Tom Wright. In 1950, Saucier hit .343 for San Antonio. Nieman hit two successive homers in his first two times at bat for the Brown's late last season and knocked a .324 average for Tulsa and Oklahoma City. Rapp is a .322 hitter from Oakland. Wright had Boston Red Sox seasoning and comes from Louisville.

Something must have happened the past 18 years that nobody us about, because it would be called for a saliva test if any this nation's skiers or skaters distance jumpers had come up with a first place in what the its insisted upon calling "our Olympics." The best we had were a couple fair gal figure skaters who used Sonja Henie. The rest were going strictly for the ride and picture postcard scenery. It was, one must recall, before discovered there was gold every snow-covered hill in the northern states. The only thing that kept our team from being the most elite group ever gathered under the starry banner was the presence in Germany of a set of large, by individuals from up around the Placid who wrestled pet dogs for exercise back home. They were Uncle Sam's bobders and they were trained razor edge on steak, rich pastry and wildcat milk. Individ Body They were, in every respect, a indid body of men. They hadn't out of the woods long and might have been a trifle unstable under certain circumstances, but they could ride big sleds down the mountain with any Europeans ever. We will to win flamed hotly in percentage split with the winner in June. ing of training until 3 a.m. It was necessary, of course, to observe their training, and this in time became a strenuous chore. As it happened, though, this devotion to duty gained for this reporter what he likes to think was the finest scoop of a rather lengthy career. The groundwork was laid during a training session with Ivan Brown, who steered one of the American two-manners, and Bob Washbond, the cheerful fatalist who rode with him. "Do you want a real story?" demanded Brown during a break in the training routine. "I mean something worth sending home—not stuff like you've been sending about these skaters. None of them is worth a damn." We assured him such an item would be more than welcome. "Well," said Ivan, "you tell 'em that Bob and me are going to win the only gold medal for America in these whole Olympics. I guarantee we'll make it stand up for you." Cautiously, so as to offer no possible affront, Ivan was asked how he could be so positive about it. "I'll tell you that, too," he replied. "It's because Bob, here, has the broadest hips of any bobber in the world. When he bobs that sled of ours jumps about 20 feet. All I've got to do is hold her on the track." Wires Were Humming Washbond only smiled modestly, but a casual examination of his qualifications disclosed that Brown probably was dead right in at least one respect. That was good enough for me. Within a matter of hours the wires were humming with the tremendous news that Brown and Washbond were going to save the U.S. from a shutout. out tactics provided his best 1951 performance, Bob Nieman, Earl Rapp and Tom Wright. In 1950, Saucier hit .343 for San Antonio. Nieman hit two successive homers in his first two times at bat for the Browns late last season and knocked a .324 average for Tulsa and Oklahoma City. Rapp is a .322 hitter from Oakland. Wright-had Boston Red Sox seasoning and comes from Louisville with a .282 mark. The Red Sox have an outfit prospect in Jim Piersail with so much talent manager Lou Boudreau may try to get him in the lineup at shortstop. Last year, Piersall played 17 games for Louisville, batting .310, and then transferred to Birmingham where he fashioned a .346 mark in 121 games. Veteran big leaguers say they've seldom seen a rookie do so many things well. The championship Yankees may be concerned mainly with the scrap between Jackie Jensen and Mickey Mantle for Joe DiMaggio's centerfield job. But they're bound to pay some heed, too, to Bob Cerv, and Archie Wilson. Cerv was runner-up in American Association hitting with .344 for Kansas City. He drove across 108 runs. Wilson, the International League's most valuable player, hit .316 in 151 games for Buffalo. He had the most RBIs, 112; most total bases, 328; most hits, 191; and 28 homers to share honors in that department. 5 MINUTES OF SILENCE BOMBAY, INDIA (UP) — Five minutes of silence in memory of King George was observed at Braaborne Stadium today before the start of the world table tennis championships. LEAFS GAME POSTPONED TORONTO (UP) — For the second time in history, the Toronto Maple Leafs last night postponed a scheduled National Hockey league game because of the death of the King of England. No new date was set. Wires Were Humming Washbond only smiled modestly, but a casual examination of his qualifications disclosed that Brown probably was dead right in at least one respect. That was good enough for me. Within a matter of hours the wires were humming with the tremendous news that Brown and Washbond were going to save the U.S. from a shutout. Well, there was a certain amount of worrying done within the next week or so. Ivan was asked a number of times if he still was dead sure about winning and he always said "you just forget about it—you're in." Even so, there was a slight uneasiness up to the moment they called out the final mites. Ivan and Bob won it, of course, and that was the only thing the Americans did win. You can look it up.

(P) — American cockeys under 21 years of age would be made wards of the juvenile court under a plan proposed by Judge A. Scott of Los Angeles. The Los Angeles jurist, for seven years judge of the juvenile court in that county, outlined his "I think it is a wonderful plan and should help every young boy in racing," said Sterling Young, secretary and manager of the eastern section of the Jockey Guild. "We have been trying to work out something like this for several years, but laws differ in different states." Al Rosen Takes Pay Cut from Cleveland Tribe MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (P) — Al Rosen took a cut where it hurts most—in the pay envelope—and determined to show the Cleveland Indians he is no .265 hitter. The home run hitting third baseman beat the gun on spring training. Each morning you'll find him swinging while strong armed kids take turns throwing. "I was just a lousy ball player last year," he said. "I wouldn't have blamed Al Lopez for taking me out if he had anybody else to play. I just didn't belong in there." Rosen's bat was silent when they needed it most—down the stretch. He has been trying to figure out his season long slump. "Bob Feller tells me I was uppercutting the ball," said Rosen. "Maybe I was subconsciously trying to be a home run king. "I used to think if a fellow hit 24 home runs and drove in over 100 runs, he had a pretty good year. But I did that. It's the average that counts. It's fine to hit the homer and get the RBIs but not if you hit only .265." Bad year and all, Rosen still won the championship of one department—broken noses. Still he played 154 games, often with his face puffed up and his eyes swimming from sinus condition. One time he broke his nose play-catch with Bob Kennedy, as the webbing on his glove broke. A bad-hopping screamer off the bat of Walt Dropo broke it again. Then he split his right eye chasing a wide throw by Larry Doby at Philadelphia. To Supervise American Jockeys BY GENE PLOWDEN MIAMI, FLA. (AP) — American jockeys under 21 years of age would be made wards of the juvenile court under a plan proposed by Judge A. Scott of Los Angeles. The Los Angeles jurist, for seven years judge of the juvenile court in that county, outlined his plan in conferences yesterday with officials of the Jockey Guild and Hialeah race course. Boys under 21 would be made wards of the court for supervision of their contracts and protection of their interests until they become of age. “Our plan, in effect only in Los Angeles county at present, has worked to the tremendous advantage of young jockeys ever since it started several years ago,” Scott reported. He said 70 per cent of the boys’ net earnings is placed in a trust fund and held under the court’s jurisdiction until the boy becomes of age. At 21, he is on his own. Scott said the plan allows the court supervision of the boys; they must attend school four hours a week; on Saturday mornings. If a boy is on his own, he lives in a dormitory near the race track, and is under the court’s supervision at all times. If his parents live in the area, he lives with them. “I think it is a wonderful plan and should help every young boy in racing,” said Sterling Young, secretary and manager of the eastern section of the Jockey Guild. “We have been trying to work out something like this for several years, but laws differ in different states. “I believe this plan can be put into effect and I think the Jockey Guild and the National Association of State Racing commissioners will go along with us,” Young added. Scott cited several examples. In one instance, a jockey heard of a motel for sale. He asked court permission to buy it from his trust fund. Permission was granted and the jockey now lives in his motel and rents the other sections. Another jockey wanted $5,000 to buy an expensive automobile. Scott talked him into buying a lower priced model. Three days later the boy wrecked his automobile. When he appeared before the court to explain the accident, the judge reminded him how much more he would have lost had he bought the more expensive model. The boy was grateful for the court’s advice. Scott will go to the Fairgrounds at New Orleans today to outline his plan and will present it to the National Association of State pariment—broken noses. Still he played 154 games, often with his face puffed up and his eyes swimming from sinus condition. One time he broke his nose play-catch with Bob Kennedy as the webbing on his glove broke. A bad-hopping screamer off the bat of Walt Dropo broke it again. Then he split his right eye chasing a wide throw by Larry Doby at Philadelphia. Rosen can't do anything about the broken noses but he hopes to improve his hitting. SEALS SIGN PAIR SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—Veteran outfielder Joe Grace and rookie pitcher Jack Thompson are the latest additions to the San Francisco Seals roster. Grace, a 302 hitter last year, and the 22-year-old Thompson returned their signed contracts yesterday. Thompson, a 6 foot 5 chucker from Albany, Ga., last year had a 2 won 5 lost record with Yakima of the Western International League and a 4-3 average with Medford of the defunct Far West conference. World's record for the most rainfall in a single day is believed to belong to Baguio, Philippine Islands, with 45.99 inches.
