of $379, 9,160. That didn't even get the Golden Greek off the hook for l945-and Pericles still waited in- consolably in the barn.
 With his spread branching out, Helis this winter put one of his rac- ing strings in the hands of Frank Kearns, one-tinne trainer for Wood- ford Farms. That string included Pericles and Kearns started putting the four-year-old through his paces at the Helis farm in JobStown, N. J.,
 They weren't too certain whether the handsome colt ever would reach the starting gate but Helis, who fpsses over the colt aS If he was triple crown winner, insisted that his baby be given another chance So Kearns, a genial giant whom nature intended for a genial heavy weight, began working on Pericles with patient persistence. The re- suits have been more than gratify- ing.
 Right now he is in advanced form," KearnS said after the colt VI SSSCo IOldJ III IIlG COO1 AiOAAAhlB air. He did three quarters in 20, which is very gratifying and he looks real well. That's a real colt, that Pericles, and If he ever starts going he's going to be mighty hard to stop"
 Kearns thinks deep down inside that even as an inexperienced maiden at four years of age, the handsome lemon" might develop into real peach. They'll give him his first chance in the Gray Lag handicap at Jamaica on May 4, mile and one-eighth run for three year old and up, and only the in- jury jinX which has kept him in the barns two racing years will stay the colt from the post when they blow boots and saddles for that one.
 The Gray Lag is worth only $30,- coo, which is far cry from the 2olt's total debt. But if Pericles ,omes sailing down in front just once with those blue and white Ielis silks, it will mean more to the sentimental oil man than any stake he'll ever win.

Clearwater, Florida, March 22- (UP)-Bob Teller began unlinber- ing his fast ball and new jug handled curve in earnest today tc back up his statement that he be- lieved he was "still the best pitcher in baseball"
 The Iowa -born ace of the Cleve- land Indian mound staff, without being cockey about 1t, replied to re- porters questions with the frank statement that T know there are more good pitchers around than there have been in c long time. But the pressure Is on them and they have to prove they are better than am"
 Now 27 and in top condition at l90 pounds, Teller said he was ready for a big season. But he wanted to make 1t plain to the sports writers that he didn't intend to start a strikeout race with Hal Newhouser, scuthpaw whiz of the Detroit IT. gers.
 Somebody said awhile ago that I hoped to beat New41ouser in strikeouts," he said. My feeling about strikeouts is this If I need them, to win, I hope I strike out Q thousand. If can win without them, that's all right with me"

 Teller made an Impressive mound debut yesterday although the Cin- cinnatI Reds scored six runs in the ninth inning to defeat the Indians, 8 to 3.

State Dusty Hoop Tourney Here Saturday
BRASSCOS AND U. s. RUBBER TO TRY FOR TITLE

With the local industrial basket ball titles decided, American Brass, 1945-4e champion of the "A" divi- sion and U. s. Rubber of NaugaL tuck, second best team are ready to make strong bids for state title in which large number of the top- notch players in Connecticut will be seen in action at the local state armory, tomorrow night and Sum day afternoon, March 27 and March 30 next week.
 International Silver of Meriden and New Ravens Sperry and Barnes club, 0 "B" division team which surprised heavily favored New Haven Telephone last night will meet in the first of four state tourney games scheduled Saturday and Sunday to start at 7:30 p. m. tomorrow night followed by Nauga- tuck's U. s. Rubber entry against Yale and Towne of Stamford: the latter a 41-40 winner over Green wich last night.
 A.B.C. vs. TOrTingtOn
 On Sunday afternoon, Bridge- port Brass, rated very strong bidder for the title is paired with Hartford's Pratt-Whitney Aircraft squad at PAS p. m. with Water bury's American Brass, IRA. champs to match points with Tor rington's American Brass squad at 4 D. m. The latter was defeated by Shurtine Fitzgerald for the New City title, but a state dusty league rule prevents "comttnation" teams in state tourney play. With the ad- vantage of the state armory floor, used by them most of the season, Waterbury's A.B.C. entry may go far in its bid for the state title.
 Officials assigned to the games by director Ed McGrath follow: Meri- den-New Haven (Cluney and Ghir- ardini); Naugatuck-Stamford (Mo- bile and Chrichton); US.

vvvVVVVvvv This and That

Tn the recent deaths of William R. Gilman and Lew Hart, the Coun- try Club of Waterbury has lost two of its finest members. Local news papermen who knew them are unanimously agreed that Reg" Gil- man and Lew Hart, gentlemen and sportsmen at all time, were a de- cided asset to any group with which they were associated. My sincere condolences to their bereaved fam files. It was a distinct pleasure to meet and talk with either or both at any and all times Congrat- ulations are certainly in order for Bud" Geoghegan, a standout Con- nectieut golfer and instructor for many years, in his new appointment as golf professional to the Crest mont Country Club at West Orange, N. J. AS a golf instructor, Bud had few equals, especially with the be- ginner, and there is every chance that success in his chosen field will follow him wherever he goes. Every Sportswriter in Connecticut will wish him well in his new undertak- ing and move into the metropolitan district, the ''big time" of the golf world in the eastern part of the country.

Local Golf Clubs Set for Season

All three local golf courses are reported in very good general con- ditlon, Country Club of Waterbury and the Municipal layouts to be open for play tomorrow afternoon; with no official opening date set for the Chase Country Club, where Al Labutis, honorably discharged from the U. s. Marines will again take over as golf professional.
 Superintendent of Parks James Curtin confirmed tonorow's repor- ted opening date at the city-owned course, where Joe Bracken, not yet returned from Florida will again be in charge as club professional. Ad- ditional locker space is not available at the municipal course, because of lack of building space, not because the lockers are scarce" A local architect is working on plans for an addition to the clubhouse so that more lockers for both men and women may. be set up. There are now 222 lockers, all taken" with large waiting list"
 Charley Baskin has the COW course in fine shape for this time of year, and, helped by recent spring weather, members will begin play in large numbers tomorrow, 1t is eX- pected.

BoseboII Fields DeodIine Set

Supervisor of Recreation William J, Derwin announced today that all baseball and softball leagues desir- ing the use of park department fields have until April goth to apply for season permits. No permits for the entire summer will be considered or issued until that deadline has been reached.
 Twenty applications have already bee filed for diamonds, the first of which was received in January. However, in order to give time to all groups to organize, no preference will be given to the early corners.
 The continued dry weather has permitted the fields in the parks to dry out sufficiently so that main tenance crews will be able to start conditioning them early next week. The Park Department has under its supervision four fields at Hamilton Park. one at Washington, one at Fulton, two at Waterville, as well as Hopeville and Bunker Hill Stadium, the latter located at the corner of Watertown Avenue and East Aurora Street. Two other softball areas are maintained on the parking lot at the Stadium and plans call for the con- ditioning of the parking lot at Lake, wood Park.
 Individual teams may secure per- nits for practice from week-to-week as soon as the fields have been put into shape. But once that the leagues get underway, individual team per- nlits will be scarce.
 MT. Derwin stated that a heavier demand than usual is expected this season due to the shorter working hours, the return Of hundreds of servicemen, and the resumption of sports programs by organizations large and small.

AOAASSA 4AVDS SPVASD "AsN~Sf
 New York, Mrach 22-(UP)-The barns were quiet and the dust hung heavy at sleepy Belmont Park to- day but there was jubilation in the stalls of William Helis, the Golden Greek, because Pericles is just about ready to drop that S66,000 lemon tag.
 Pericles and his proud owner have waited two dreary years for a chance to prove the handsome colt was worth that young fortune. But always something happened and Pericles did nothing except beautify the barn, champing the bit impatiently through the two- year-old and three-year-old seasons in which he never went to the post.
 There were many reasons why the proud son of Blenheim II Risk never got his shot at the barrier. One of the best looking pieces of horse flesh around the tracks, his body at first was too heavy for his slim legs. Then he picked up nail and another time grabbed himself while breezing, so damag- ing a hoof that it had to be cut away and new hoof grown.
 The laugh during that l943 sea- son was on Helis, a multi-million- aire New Orleans oil man who as 8 Johnny-come-lately on the racing scene was fair game for the junk" sellers. But Helis didn't think-and still doesn't believe-that Pericles was a dead head.
 His racing expenditures, which ran into several millions, started to pay off last year as the Helis stock farm color bearers finished fourth among the money winners. They carried off 49 events, took the place in $ and showed in 36 for total
