Perhaps the governor... For a little while it looked like this might be a fairly calm summer for the two political parties. It would have simplified things for the Democratic convention next July if President Truman wanted to run again. Only a few weeks ago it seemed he might. And if he didn't, the talk with his Hy to get the nomination for both, Anatolienberg or Hammel. That would have played the lead for Stevenson. But Truman closed up the picture. He decided not to run himself. And he wouldn't endorse Stevenson or anyone else. Then Stevenson complicated things more by announcing yesterday he didn't want the White House job either. That threw the lists wide open. When the Stevenson announcement for yesterday, the general reaction was: "who now?" Senator Kefauver has been going around saying "my name is candidate before the convention started. It was hooseng in 1935 in 1940 and 1944. And in 1948 it was Truman. BUT FROM THE WAY things are going among the Republicans their convention next July ought to be a beaut, too. Just a short time ago the backers of General Eisenhower sounded as if the trip to the White House was just a short hike with him. That was after his victory over Senator Taft in New Hampshire and Minnesota. The general won without a speech, or a handshake, and without even being in this country. It was also before Taft, who has his heart set on the white building on Pennsylvania Ave., began to lasso delegates in large flocks in other States. And even though Eisenhower had more bases than Kefauver... IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO FROM THE PRESS OF AMERICA CALIFORNIA BY MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago April 1877 Col. J. J.

Just have to let off a little steam in this section of the column every day. You Can't Pick 'em in Coast Lifers' Reposing at Bottom of Favorites What's happened to the favorites? Of the four teams rated top periment contenders before the Pacific Coast League season began, only one, first place Los Angeles, is in the first division. Seattle, the 1951 champion and the choice of most to reak, reposh in the cellar, 812 games behind the leader. Hollywood, considered a sure bet for the first division, is only a notch either. Oakland, the fourth choice, is in the No. 5 spot. Except for Los Angeles, which has had pitching and slugging power to spare all along, the favorites have shown nothing to demonstrate they deserved their ratings. Chuckers have been weak and wild, batters have failed to come through in the clutch, and fielders have been plagued with an abnormal number of bobbles. Meanwhile, San Diego, only half a game behind the Angels, and San Francisco have come abooming. Sacramento, in the fourth spot, has won six straight. WEDNESDAY night the Solons bank Hollywood 5-4, the Angels stopped Seattle 5-3 and San Diego book San Francisco 9-5. Portland und Oakland were idle. Solon Chet Johnson had awitter going until the ninth and no-rimmer until the seventh—but wound up getting the bounce in the ninth. So Patch saved the family jewels for him, though. Bill Blinn hit a batter in the eighth for the Saxs and Padres' Willie Wilcox hit ball for live was jerked over a burst in the sixth.

New York Giant fans, dabious of the value of a 35-year-old Boston Brave "castoff" came to the Polo Grounds last night to be shown. Elliott sure showed them. He made Irvin's ankle fracture seem less tragic. When the Giants bought big Bob from the Braves, April 8, for $30,000 and pitcher Sheldon Jones, Manager Leo Durocher shouted "ne'll be my crasher." Now the fans know what Leo meant. First a home run deep into the upper left field seats in the fourth inning. Then No. 2 into the right Field seats in the tighth. Elliott sprayed new optimism into the giant rause. Just a few hours before Elliott ruined opening night for Robin Roberts, the doctors sewed together Monte Irvine's torn ligaments. They said the 1950 runs-batted-in champ might be recky to pinch hit in late July. Elliott's performer angered through a rugged absorbing a 14-8 past slugging Brooklyn Dodgers flattened Max on the first inning and kept day for 20 hits, including Duke Snider and a hole and single by Roy Ella.

He claimed he got called into the case through a friend, Walter Maloney. Maloney is a former Kansas City attorney who came to Washington shortly after Harry Truman became a Senator from Missouri. He once served as judge of the Jackson county court as did President Truman when he was a young protege of of the Pendergast machine. Maloney, queried about the case, said he and Shepard were supposed to split the fee 60-50, but in the end he was paid nothing. He denied using any influence, explained that the case "had gone too far, was in the penal division, and there was too much of a record on it." When the above maneuvers didn't work, the two asphalt kings tried potent Sen. Harry Byrd of Virginia. Byrd stated afterward that he gave them no aid. In the end, efforts to poll wires could not stand up against the persistence of T-men and the spotlight of publicity. Though there were months of delay, and though U.S. Attorney George Humrickhouse in Richmond held off prosecution an unusually long time, the two asphalt kings eventually got a couple of years in jail.

Graziano then was counted out for a third round kayo.—(Associated Press Wirephoto) Robinson Goes 'Scalpin'; 'Drops Rocky' CHICAGO UP — Middleweight champion Sugar Ray Robinson, 32 but still a ring killer with a quick and paralyzing punch, is ready for a shot at his third world title after a third-round knockout of Rocky Graziano. Robinson's execution last night of former 160-pound champion Graziano before a capacity Chicago Stadium crowd of 22,264 apparently was a stepping stone to a June New York showdown with champion Joey Maxim for the light-heavy crown. SUGAR RAY, who still considers himself the wetterweight king (the automatically vacated that crown when he beat Jake La Motta for the 160-pound title) as well as the middleweight champion, may skip a scheduled middleweight title defense May 16 at New York against Paddy Young to take on Maxim. The International Boxing club had nothing official to say about Home Runs Help of Polo Grounds gered through a rugged afternoon, absorbing a 14-8 pasting from the slugging Brooklyn Dodgers.

Vic Raschi got the world champ New York Yankees off wing in their drive toward a fourth straight pennant with an 8-1 romp over the Philadelphia A's. Big Vic owls a lifetime 21-2 record against the A's. Cleveland and the surprising St. Louis Browns kept step in their two-way tie for the American league lead. The Indians nipped Chicago, 1-0, on rookie Jim Frydley's homer and Bob Lemon's three-hit pitching while Rogers Hornsby's Brownies chipped Detroit, 5-4. Floyd Baker, supposed to be a B' Softball Opener Goes to Horace Mann Horace Mann's "B" team, which hasn't lost a championship in any sport this year, yesterday won a softball game from Benjamin Franklin, 17-7. Horace Mann broke loose for 10 runs in the third inning, to completely-wrap up the game. Horace Mann's attack was led by Rudy Miranda, who raped out a home run with the bases loaded, and Tommy Criss, who bagged three hits in as many times to bat. Alan Chancellor let and paralyzing punch, is ready for a shot at his third world title after a third-round knockout of Rocky Graziano. Robinson's execution last night of former 160-pound champion Graziano before a capacity Chicago Stadium crowd of 22,264 apparently was a stepping stone to a June New York showdown with champion Joey Maxim for the light-heavy crown. Sugar Ray confessed he went "head-huntin' early" to pulverize Graziano in a brief but blistering bout which paid $82,208 to Robinson and $68,507 to Graziano. "Ah figured that against a fighter like Rocky, you got to hurt him quick to keep him from getting cocky," said Robinson. "You toy with a sugger like him and later when you clout him, he thinks it's accidental. So I sailed into him on every opening." It was a miscalculation that dropped the curtains on eager, wild-swinging Graziano. "See, I bounced off the ropes in the middle of the third round and clouted Robinson good with a right and down he goes," grimaced Graziano. Robinson went down for no-count midway in the third round. "So a little later he drives me to the ropes with a left to the body and I figure to bounce off again and give it to him good. But, wham, he blasts that right and SUGAR RAY, who still considers himself the welterweight king (the automatically vacated that crown when he beat Jake La Motta for the 160-pound title) as well as the middleweight champion, may skip a scheduled middleweight title defense May 16 at New York against Paddy Young to take on Maxim. The International Boxing club had nothing official to say about Robinson's future. But Robinson's intense pride and the prospects of another lush gate, possible comparing with last night's net of $194,028, gave solid support to the report of a June clash with Maxim. Robinson declared himself not interested in tackling Maxim at 175 pounds. He weighed 157¼ against Graziano's 159¾. But George Gainford, Robinson's manager, broadly hinted that Sugar Ray considers himself capable of whipping much heavier foes and desirous of joining Bob Fitzsimmons and Henry Armstrong as triple ring champions. Fitzsimmons captured the middleweight, heavyweight and light heavy titles, but never held them at the same time. Armstrong simultaneously held the featherweight, lightweight and welterweight crowns, a monopoly that prompted boxing commissions to ordain that only one title could be held at a time.
