training series yesterday by down.
ing the Cincinnati Reds, 5-3, at
Tampa, Fla, although they were
outhit, 9-6, by the National League
club, which also was making its ex-
hibition debut.
That victory. coupled with the
New York Yankees first spring loss,
put the Tribe at the top Of the

in action that hasn't suffered defeat.
Half Of the teams in each major

Dodgers. AS Are Upset.
Eighteen games have been played
in the past nine days. with the
Brooklyn Dodgers and the Philadel-
phia Athletics the only teams that
have gone outside the major leagues.
At Havana. the Dodgers opened
the grapefruit season by taking a
two-game series with the New York
Giants. Then the National League
champions got mixed up with a team
of Cuban all-stars and wound up
on the short end of a f1ve-game
series.
The all-stars won the rubber
game yesterday with 80 shutout
in the nightcap of a double-header
after the Dodgers had squared the
series by winning the opener, 6-3.
The Athletics, training in Cali

Up 10 Terps Il They

U. 5. Ring Titles
Season Tough, Coooh
Doubts Any Boxer
Wants to Go On

Maryland's ring team probably will
take its Eastern intercollegiate title,
won without the help of single in
dividual championship, and rack up
for the season, Coach Bobby Gold
stein said today, although if any of
the boys want to try their mitts in
the national intercollegiate tourna-
ment this month every effort will be
made to assist them.
Goldstein, however, is leaving it
strictly up to the boys themselves.
1t is doubtful If any will want to
enter, he added, pointing out that
they've had a tough season and
hardly can afford the time from
studies for another tournament.
Coach Cites Maryland's Balance
The Terp mentor was elated by his
teams triumph and was satisfied
that Maryland was the best balanced
outfit in the affair.
Syracuse had a couple Of cham
pions. and so did Penn State. Other
schools had one apiece. but as
team I think We shaped up better
than the rest. We might have won
title if the boys had been more
serious in the finals, but they knew
they had it locked up after the semi
finals and eased up"
Goldstein was proud particularly
of Tommy Jones, who boiled off four
pounds in an hour, was too weak to
do his best, and Josh Hughes, who
entered the tournament with only
three days of gym work behind him.
and almost won despite his lack of
condition.
Quality of Boxing Debatable.
The Old Line coach couldn't make
up his mind about the quality of
college boxing, as viewed in this
tournament, even after hearing a
statement by Paul Moss that it was
not as good as it used to be. Moss,
pilot Of Billy Soose, one-time cham
pion at Penn State, made the trip
to Charlottesville in the hope of
picking up an outstanding pro
prospect.
Il talked with any number of peo-
pie who thought the tournament
was better than the old Southern
Conference meets" Goldstein said.
And I can vouch for it that they
weren't pink teas. AS for individual
fighters. this Syracuse boy, Gerald
Auclair. positively is the greatest
college bantamweight I've ever seen.
He hits like 155-pounder and is
smart with it."
