All New York Teams
lose in First Round
OF Garden Tourney
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 12.-Loyola
of Chicago completed the first
round rout of New York entries
in the National Invitation basket
ball tournament tonight with a
62-47 victory over City College of
New York. Earlier today San
Francisco defeated Manhattan
68-43; Bradley whipped New York
University. 1857. and Bowling
Green beat st. Johns of Brook
lyn. 1884.
Loyola. with big Jack Kerris
dumping in 26 points, won the
unenviable privilege of meeting
top seeded Kentucky in the quar-
ter finals Monday afternoon.
Kerris spent most of the night
at the foul line. where he set a
tournament record for conversions.
He had Is chances and made IL
one more than the mark set by
George Mikan in l945 and tied by
his brother Ed last year.
The big wheel in the Loyola at
tack made only one field goal in
the first half. a simple tap-in. But
he had his fall-away hook working
after the intermission, when he
hit from the field six times. He
fouled out with five minutes to
play.
Besides the Loyola kentucky
game Monday afternoon. Western
Kentucky will play Bradley. San
Francisco will meet Utah. and
second-seeded st. Louis takes on
Bowling Green Monday night.
Obviously outmanned from the
start by Bowling Green, st. John S
refused to give up and stayed
within hailing distance most OF
the way. A series of injuries
added to st. Johns difficulties.
Dick MCGUIRE, the mainstay OF
the losers, hurt his ankle early in
the first half and limped the rest
of the game. Frank Mulzoff
starting forward, spent a third OF
the game on the bench with a
banged nose and eye.

But there was no stopping the
giant Falcons. With clio Chuck

MIAMI, Fla, Mar. 12.-Jackie
Robinson, Negro second baseman
of the Brooklyn Dodgers, was call
ed on the carpet today by base
ball Commissioner A. B. Chandler
about his recent f1are-up against
a teammate at the Dodgers spring
training camp at Vero Beach.
Chandler expressed annoyance
over a statement attributed to
Robinson after the game. quoting
him as saying: They rival
players better be prepared to be
rough this year, because I'm going
to be rough on them"
Robinson denied making such
a statement and mininlized the
tiff with his teammate.
1T wasn't anywhere as serious
as the newspapers made it ap-
pear" he said. 1--WE just jockeyed
each other as players do once in
a while, and I lost myself in the
heat of the moment and said
something shouldn't have. I was
sorry a minute after I said it." .
Chandler accepted Robinson's
word for 1t. but warned him to
avoid any unpleasantness here
after.
Commissioner Gives Advice.
your conduct during your brief
cafeer in organized baseball has
been exemplary he told Robin
son. Don't ruin everything by
some foolish action now. 1 don't
want to give you the worst of it,
but neither do I intend to give
you the best of it. Such remarks
could easily result In a riot.
Baseball does not tolerate
fighting of any kind" he con-
tinued. IF you must fight. I'll
put you in the prize ring and you
can earn some money doing it.
The same goes for anybody else. y
Chandler was referring to an
alteration between Robinson and
Chris Van Cuyk, a rookie Brooklyn
pitcher, in last Thursdays intra-
squad game. What started out as
a good-natured jockeying between
them turned into some harsh
words before they were through.
! Incensed over some of the
pointed remarks made by Robin
son, Van Cuyk threw a couple of
close pitches at Robinson's legs
when the latter came to bat late
in the game.
On the way to the clubhouse,
Robinson was overheard to re-

SOME "DON'TS"
ON VACATION
State Board of Health Warns
OF Dangers of Boating
and Swimming
DROWNINGS REPORTED

The re-opening of Delaware's
swimming pools and the urge to
return to the "ole swimming hole"
prompts the State Board of Health
to issue warnings about the dam
gers of boating and swimming.
Several deaths from drowning al
ready have been reported this year
to the Bureau of Vital Statistics,
and last years records reveal 20
deaths due to drowning.
Swimming and boating are two
of our most popular hot weather
,recreations and are splendid exer-
else, but they can be exceedingly
dangerous if people become care
less and take unnecessary chances.
No summer passes without a few
swimmers breaking their necks.
This nearly always comes about by
diving into streams or sand pits.
The water is either unduly shallow
or the diver strikes a stump or
some other submerged object. If he
doesn't fracture his neck, the blow
may render him unconscious and
lead to drowning.
1t is always more dangerous for
persons to go swimming and boat
ing alone. AS a precaution, it is
advisable to be accompanied by
another person, preferably good
swimmer, but even experts may
get into trouble. Efforts to swim
long distances are dangerous even
for good swimmers unless they are
accompanied by means of rescue
in case they develop cramps or un-
due fatigue.
Although it is impossible to COW
er all the dangerous possibilities
that may be encountered in the
water, the State Board of Health
has a list of swimming "don'ts"
which should help to make this
