Sees Game,
.Confers With Colts

Hope is fading at the University
of Maryland that Lu Gambino. the
Terps' high-scoring football player
of last year, will be declared eligible
for play this season, and there's a
strong possibility that Gambino will
be signed to professional contract
shortly by the Baltimore Colts of
the All-America Conference.
Gambino was a spectator at yes
terday's Colt-New York Yankee game
at Baltimore and after the game
conferred with Walter Driskill, the
Colt general manager and director
of athletics at Maryland last year.
Maryland has received few replies
to its plea to Southern Conference
schools for a special meeting on the
Gambino case, most of them un-
favorable, and it appears that it
will not have the necessary two
thirds vote. Head Coach Jim Ia
tum is acting as Gambino's adviser
and yesterday he said the Colt offer
is a mighty good one" and hard

Tatum, who also saw yesterdays
game, added that with Gambino
in the backfield, the Colts can be the
best in the league"
Gambino also is on the draft list
of the Chicago Bears of the National
Football League. The Bears also
are trying to sign him but have
made no specific offer other than
to tell Gambino that they have a
place in the backfield" for him
Gambino probably would be more
valuable to the Colts. Not only is
he Baltimore boy, but he also
has had much more publicity in
Baltimore than in Chicago, which
would make him q greater drawing

New York's Yankees have won
eight straight games and are sniff
flng another pennant only half a
game behind the league leading
Boston Red Sox, but reports of
heavy fines and the club being trail
ed by eight detectives on a western
trip are threatening to disrupt the
team.
From several Washington players,
who refused to identify their source
of information, it was learned that
Pitcher Joe Page allegedly has been
fined a total of $1,000 this season.
Page repeatedly was fined $500 for
fnfraction of training rules on the
first offense and since has been the
victim of two $500 fines.
Reports of rift between Manager
Bucky Harris and General Manager
George Weiss were printed and de-

York over the week end, but some
Mats claim there is basis for the
friction.

Ineffective This Season.
Page generally has been ineffec-

pitcher. Last year he supposedly
was laboring under a contract
whereby he received a higher figure
every two weeks if Harris approved
of his conduct.
Harris said he and Weiss hadn't
exchanged cross word all year, but
some reporters covering the club be-
lieved Bucky was irked by the fail
ure of Weiss to import Bob Porter
field, rookie pitcher, from Newark
earlier in the season. Most observ-
ers feel New York currently would
possess a comfortable lead If the
young highlander had been brought
to the parent club earlier.
Eight detectives, according to the
story passed on to the Mats, were
shaoowing the Yankees on a west

Hogan ; Shots Aheat

Into Reno Golf Final
By the Associoted Press

RENO, New, Sept. Cit was the
same old story in a different set
ting today as crackshots teed off
for the final round of the 72-hole
Reno open golf tournament. Ben
Hogan, the man they always have
to beat, was leading the field.
His 201 for 81 holes was II strokes

shot advantage over Lloyd Man
grum of Niles, Ill.
Mangrum, himself, is a former
National Open kingpin. But nei-
ther he nor any player in the coun-
try figured to give Hogan a 3-stroke
lead and beat out the mighty mite
who learned his game in Dallas as
a left handler. He changed to ortho-
dox style swinging many years ago.
The pace setter jumped into the
substantial lead with third-round
65. Seven under par for the 6,611-
yard Washoe Country Club course
Hogan's 1872 equaled the competi-
tive record for the layout. set last
year by Glen Teal of Jacksonville,
Fla.
Hogan had previous rounds of 81

three rounds, carding 68 each time,
for his total 204 - ~. ,...
Dick Metz of Virginia Beach. Va,
with rounds of 8-68-69-205, was in

DENVER, Colo, Sept. 6.-The

Macioszcyzk, the printers friend,

Rookie Title Spark|es
As Colts Upset Yanks;

NEW YORK. Sept. 6. - The
strengthen-the-weak program of the
All-America Football Conference
has paid immediate dividends to
the Baltimore Colts, doormat of the
Eastern division in 1947.
The Colts trounced the Eastern
champion New York Yankees, 1928,
yesterday in their opening game.
The big gun was lend-lease quar-
terback with the imposing name Of
Yelberton Abraham little.
This 2l-year rookie. gift OF

and accounted for five touchdowns,

pro debut.

jack. A specialist in under-the-

formation.
The defeat was only the second for
the Yankees at the hands of an
Eastern division club since the con-
ference began play in 1946. Last
year the Yanks lost their opening
game to Buffalo, 1924.
San Francisco breezed to its sec
ond straight victory in yesterdays
other conference games. The Forty
miners whipped Brooklyn, $500, at
San Francisco and went to the top
of the Western division standings
Once again 1t was the left-handed
passing of frankie Albert that
spanked the winners. He tossed for
three touchdowns and scored one
himself.
Brooklyn scored first and led, rs.
after the first quarter, but once
the Forty-niners began to roll there
was no doubt as to the outcome.
The Dodgers, another of the con-
ference teams which was supposed
to have been strengthened by the
official reshuff1ing, could not put
together a sustained offensive. San
Francisco held big edge in stats
tics. 1t outrushed the Dodgers, 216

apparently ready for big league
competition. Philadelphia intends
to keep only three fullbacks instead
of four, but also will keep an extra
quarterback as a precaution against
injury to the aging Tommy Thomp-
son.
Farmers shift, a surprise move,
means that Sammy Behr, Maryland
rookie who has shownup well in his
few chances, will be thoroughly
tested in the remaining preseason
games. Behr will be used against
the Cardinals and it is his big
opportunity to prove his mettle.
More Fulback Chances.
Farmers shift also means more
chances at fullback. Toms running
against Los Angeles Rams Septem-
ber 2, made the coaches feel he'll
be consistent ground gamer in the
new position. If he makes good and
Macioszcvzk sticks, somebody's got
to 60 and Ed Quirk, and Sal Rosato
seem to be fixtures. That puts the
finger on Don Darlington, whose
ailing heel temporarily sidetracked
his bid, and Jim Hefti, strong,
earnest runner who hasn't had real
chance to show his talent. Tonight's
game may be the proving ground
for these boys.
The Cardinal coaches say the
Chicagoans are too far down, too
stale after the All-Star victory to
beat the Redskins.
Coach Jimmy Councilman conceded
the Washington eleven a two-touch-
down margin, but the Skins weren't
buying his tale of woe. Pat Hareer,

Defeated Australians
Play for Gate Alone
In Davis Cup Finals
By the Associoted Press

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept. g.
The Australians will be playing
strictly for their share of the gate
receipts in today's two concluding
singles matches of the Davis Cup
challenge round.
The invaders lost all interest in
the. trophy itself yesterday when
they were defeated for the third
straight time in two days. Gardnar
Mulloy and Billy Talbert, this coun-
try's doubles champions, made GER
tain the big mug would remain here
by defeating Billy Sidwell and Colin
Long, 8-6, 81, 2-6, Is.
In Saturdays opening matches.
Ted Schroeder crushed Capt. Adrian
Quist of The invaders and frankie
Parker trounced Sidwell. In the
three matches, the outclassed Aus
sizes won only two sets, Quist taking
one from Schroeder before collap-
sing.
The crowds have been among the
smallest in Davis Cup history. No
official figures were given, but prob
ably not more than 1900 paid to
sit in the big stadium the last two
days. With the decision already
reached, no crowds are likely to
strain at the gates for today's ex-
hibitionS.
The apathy of this nations tennis
fans may be contrasted with the
rabid enthusiasm of Australia's net
bugs, who poured $4,000 into the
till during the challenge round in
Melbourne two winters ago.
Yesterdays deciding match was
something of personal tragedy for
Sidwell, the rookie of the Australian
team, especially after his straight
set spanking by Parker in the singles.
Talbert and Mulloy concentrated
their fire on him, and he cracked
just wide enough to let them
through.
They broke Billy's service five
times, twice each in the first and
fourth sets. In such an otherwise
struggle, that was all
the two court-Wise Americans
needed. The sturdy Long stood up
nobly, dropping his delivery only
once in the struggle.
Mulloy was the steadier of the
pair.
He let the Aussies crack his serve
at the very outset of the match, and
then he whanged it across 12
straight times to Offset three lapses
by Talbert.
AS doubles matches 60, it was not
one of the most spectacular ever
played, but the result was highly
to the selectors who en-
trusted Talbert and Mulloy with the
assignment.
