SHORTSTOP MARION
SENDS BACK CARDS.
CONTRACT PROPOSAL

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 11.-WD-
Marty Marion, basebalps 'Mr.
Shortstop," today fielded st.
Louis Cardinal owner Sam
Breadon's 1946 contract - and
announced that he intended to
fire 1t right back-unsigned.
Marion declined to say whe-
ther he had been offered a

ary. He said only that he had
received the document In the
mail and the amount wasn't
sufficient"
Marty, whose S13,500 salary
for 1945 touched off club row
that led to the Cooper brothers
pay strike and their subsequent
sale, said he felt that he and
Breadon "could get together,
but it'll take a couple more

oANtORD, Fla, Feb. ll.-(H9-
Branch Hickey, president Of the
Brooklyn baseball club, said today
that Commissioner A. B. Chandler
and Larry MacPhail, president of
the New York Yankees, both were
wrong in their recent verbal ex-
change on change in admission
prices at the stadium.
handler was wrong In saying
prices should not be increased,
said Hickey at Rotary luncheon
today, "he doesn't know all the
facts. MacPhail was wrong when
he said Chandler had no right to
comment, Chandler Is the COM
missioner and has the right to ex-
press his views on all baseball
matters
Hickey added that he felt Mac
Phail was justified in increasing
admission fees and said there
would be an adjustment in Ebbets
Field prices. He did not elaborate.
A total Of 145 players, including
SO pitchers, were IN uniform today

Stephens, Only Brownie
Sure OF Starting Year

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 11-(P)-Every
job except shortstop is open in the
1946 starting lineup of the St. Louis
Browns, Manager Luke Sewell said
today.
'Vernon Stephens is the Browns
shortstop until somebody better
comes along" Sewell declared as
he made short stopover here en-
route to Anaheim, Calf. where
the Brownies will open training,
Feb. 20.
The only catch in that strategy
is that Stephens is a holdout-more
or less.
Stephens-Brownie fans call him
"Junior'-told the Browns Satur-
day he didn't want to play for
them under the contract they offer.
ed. The money was all right, Junior
said. but he didn't like the strings
attached. The strings were under
stood to be conduct clauses re-
curing Stephens to observe train
ing rules and stay in condition.
The rest of the team, SeWell said,
Will depend on the results of spring
training. At first base, he looks for
Cauck Stevens to give Dick Siebert,
formerly of the Philadelphia Ath-
letics, run for his money.
With Don Gutteridge, just named
Toledo manager, eliminated from
second base, Sewen named Johnny
Eerardino, Johnny Lucadello and
Bob Dillinger as foremost contend
ers for that spot.
Dillinger, ding-dong rookie
prospect just out of service, might
even break in at third base where
the able Mark Christman usually
performs, according to Sewell.
In the outfield, the Brownie
manager will pick three from list
of II including Walt Judnich. Milt
Byraes, AL Zarilla, Joe Grace and
Glenn McQuillen.
Il haven't even thought about
pitchers" Sewell asserted. "At
least we'll have quantity"
The loyal manager said his entry
shouldn't be overlooked in the 1916
pennaat race which he declared
looks wide open.''
Il see the Yankees are picking
themselves again." Sewell com
mented, "but Pm not naming any
team as the one to beat Wen all
be improved"

Clemson Tigers Looking
For Tailback In Drills

CLEMSON, s. c., Feb. 11-lP)--
When spring football drills start
next week at Clemson College,
Coach Frank Howard's No. l prob
lem will be that of finding a tri-
ple-threat back.
Howard has some good backs,
but-those who can kick and pass
can't run; the runners and pas
sers can't kick; and the runners
and kickers can't pass.
Clemson's greatest single loss
from last years team is Tailback
Marion (ButchD Butler.
Clemson, which uses the single
wing back formation, also needs
good blocking kick.
Four backs who saw service last
fall will be on hand again--Wing-
back Billy Poe, the leading ground
gamer of the past two seasons;
Fullbacks Jim Reynolds and
Dewey Quinn, and Wingback June
Pruitt.
Among the better 1inemen re-
turning are Ends Chip Clark and
Eddis Freeman; Guards Jim Sui
tbs, Judson Davis and Ray Clan
ton, and Tackles Mavis eagle,
Milton Wigs and Bo Saunders:
Top ace among the holdovers Will
be Center Ralph jenkins.
Howard will have IA letternen
on deck. Indications are that the
backfield will be fast but very
heavy and the forward wall Will
have heft but not too much expert
ence.
If all the players Of past years
who have indicated they will re-
turn next fall actually enroll
Howard's squad will be consider
ably strengthened. Perhaps the
most outstanding Of eleven play
ers in this category is Bill CBlg

NO Hit Wander Nicer
Certain OF Good Year

TAMPA, Fla, Feb. II - P) -
John Samuel Wander Nicer famed
as the pitcher of two successive
no-hit major league baseball games
in 1898, arrived today with word
that he believed he had conquered
some of the wildness that has held
him back.
Back with the Cincinnati Reds
after a two-year hitch in the Navy.
Wander Nicer reported that he kept
in trim with the Navy's all-star
team and "it won't take me long
to get in shape"
II weigh within four pounds of
my best playing weight of 100
pounds, and my arm feels great"
he stated. "But I want to get in
some preseason work here.''
"Vandy" pitched successive no.
hitters against the Boston Braves
and Brooklyn Dodgers and was
hailed as the greatest southpaw
prospect in baseball. But he never
gained proper control.
II believe I have conquered a
lot Of my wildness now, and can
get the ball across at maximum
speed" he said. "In other years,
when I developed a wild streak,
I had to slow my pitches down and
lost much effectiveness"
During his major league career
Vandy has won rs and lost 66
