Veteran MoIIis Backs
Harris Against Jones

Old Tom Mollis, the Baltimore
colored fighter who was a favorite
with District fans some years back,
will have a part in next Monday
nights Turner's Arena main event.
Tommy, who's fighting days are far
behind him, has gone in for training
fighters and he's working on Leslie
Harris, who meets Herbie (Biff)
Jones of Washington in the 10
round main event.
Old Tom will work in Harris cor
ner and if he's introduced from the
ring he'll get big hand from the
boys who remember some of the
scraps he put up here. Tommy's
age never was definitely established,
but guesses started at 40 and went
up. He fought young, strong kids
such as Bee Bee Washington, Red
Doty and Smuggy Hursey, who
should have been able to blow him
over, but didn't. He won something
like seven in row here until he
met up with Rocky Graziano.
Now he's retired (for the ump-
teenth time) and teaching Harris
some of his secrets. Some tips from
Mollis should make Harris an i'm
proved fighter since his victory and
draw against Jones. But Jones, too,
has improved and currently boasts
a string of five knockout victories.

.Di Mag Key 10 Yanks
Hopes Of Avoiding
Second Division
By the Associoisd Press

TAMPA, Fla, Mar. 2o.-1t has
been % years since a Yankee ball
club finished in the second division
Of the American League. but those
who have been studying Bucky Har-
ris' team the closest this spring say
it easily might happen again if
Joe Di Maggio's heel doesn't begin
to mend in a hurry.
Without their star centerf1elder,
it now becomes painfully apparent,
the Yanks are not going very far.
Unless the ailing Joe gets into their
lineup early in the season they are
likely to drop far behind such pow
erhouses as Boston and Detroit and
might find themselves taking the
dust of several other outfits.
No 800 Hitter in '46.
For the first time since any one
can recall, the Bombers didn't have
a 800 hitter last year, and unless
Di Maggie can return to something
approaching his prewar form they
have only a slight prospect Of pro-
ducing any real power in the COM
ing race.
They have q couple of proven
pitchers in Spud Chandler and
Floyd Bevens, who won 20 and is
games, respectively, last year, but
after that their mound corps drops
off.
President Larry MacPhail is try
ing hard to do something about the
depressing situation, but he isn't
getting far. Rival club owners have
long memories, and they aren't
jumping over themselves to help
the rich team from the Bronx that
Inundated them for so many years.
McQuinn Gets Trial.
Perhaps the best illustration of
the fallen estate of the Yanks Is
the fact that Harris just has started
giving 36-year-old George McQuinn
a trial at first base. McQuinn hit
only .225 for the Athletics last year
and was picked up by the Yanks
after the patient Connie Mack had
turned him loose. 1t has been eight
years since McQuinn had a 300
season.
When a club begins talking about
such a one-time star as its regular
first baseman, then the second divi-
sion would appear to beckon.

Texas Favored TO Win
Western Regional
NcAA Tourney
BY the Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mar. 20.-The
University of Texas Longhorns, who
twice have been eliminated by the
eventual national champion. are
favored to top the four-team field
in the Western regional NCAA
basket ball tournament tomorrow

Both of their conquerors in pre-

crown, just as four of the other
eight Western regional champions
have succeeded in doing in the
NCAA finals dating back to 1899
First order of bushes for Coach
Jack Gray's Longhorns, who are
heralded as one of the finest cage
teams ever assembled in Texas, is
that of disposing of the Wyoming
Cowboys, the team that beat them
in the 1s43 Western regionals.
IT they pass the Wyoming test
the Texans still must beat the win
ner OF tomorrow nights opening
game between Oregon State, the
Pacific Coast champion, and the
Big Six titlist Oklahoma before
clashing with the Eastern repre-
sentative in New York Tuesday.
The Texas-Wyoming game will
have special meaning to five of the
starting players. John Hargis and
Roy Cox of Texas, and Jimmy Reese,
Floyd Volker and Jim Campbell
of Wyoming each were members of
the teams representing their schools
here four years ago.

Cards SisIer Thinks
He Now Can Erase
Handicap Of Name
By the Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Mar.
20.-Dick Sisler, who came into
baseball under the burden of one
OF the heaviest handicaps any player
ever had to carry, served notice
today that he intends to be a regu-
lar this season with the World
Champion st. Louis Cardinals.
The offspring of the immortal
George Sisler, who had two strikes
on him at the start because of the
inevitable comparison to his illus
trious father, found the task of
holding down the regular first base
position too difficult last year, his
first in the big leagues.
Not that Dick was total bust.
Far from it. He showed plenty of
ability and at times gave indica-
ton that he might develop into a
star with more experience. The
fans, however. expected too much
Of a son of Sisler. The tremendous
fanfare and buildup proved too
much for the overeager freshman
and he begged down before the
halfway mark.
After yielding the first base Job
to Stan Musial in June. Dick found
himself relegated to pinch hit roles
and occasional filings in left field
for the balance of the season. He
wound up with batting average of
260, played in only 80 games.
The serious minded, dark-haired
youngster, with no intention to
alibi, felt that he should not be
judged by last seasons work.
Il honestly believe that If my
name weren't Sisler, I would have
done better" the strapping 26-year-
old, 6-foot 2-inch native st. Louis
ian said. "The fans expected too
much of me. They expected me to
hit and field like my dad. They
seemed to have forgotten that there
was only one George Sisler.
You should have heard some of
those taunts flung at me every time
I popped up or failed to come up
with ground ball"
But Dick didn't resent the riding
by the spectators. 1t just made
him more determined than ever to
show them that he could stand on
his own two feet.
Sisler thought for moment then
smiled I'm not scared and nerv-
GUS anymore. With my freshman
year out of the way, I believe I am
over the hump. I think the fans
have come to realize that I am just
another ball player.
Il am happy playing the outheld.
That is my natural position. I hope
Dyer keeps me there, I believe I
can win a regular job"
