Yvonne Sherman Owes Start
In Skating to Piano Lessons

age 6 some figure skates were
tied to Yvonne's feet. The rest
is skating history. She went
right up the ladder Of city, Sec
tional and national junior titles,
then did the same thing in sem
ior competition until today she
is tops.
The piano and figure skating
still compete for Miss Sherman's
affections. She would like to
continue skating competition
until the next Olympics, but
the concert stage also is calling.
And there are other interests,
too. She plays tennis, is a very
good swimmer and of course is
in ballet. That's a necessity for
good figure skating work, she
says, figure skating is really q
ballet on ice."
Miss Sherman herself isn't so
sure she'll win the national title

Fred Scolari would leave the
Washington Caps to take over the

NEW YORK, Mar. 22.-The
Washington Caps and the New
York Knickerbockers meet in
Madison Square Garden, tonight
in the second game of their Ma
tional Basketball Association play
offs and if New York wins, it will
be taps for the Caps. The game
will be broadcast over Station
WWDC starting at $50 pm.
New York is expected to win
expected, that is, by everybody
except the New Workers, who left
Washington's Uline Arena last
night out Of breath and with a
90-87 victory in the first of the
best-tWo-of- three series.
Coach Joe Lapchick in particu-
lar is filled with deep respect for
the Caps, who finished the regu-
lar season in third place with a
1896 mark, their poorest showing
in four seasons of league play.
They're not two players away
from having a great team right
now" says Lapchick. IF they're
lucky in the draft and pick up
those two, they'll be q power next
year."
OuHoot Young Knicks,
The youthful Knickerbockers
were expected to outrun the aging
Caps last night.
They outran u.s." said Lap
chick. THE papers said that if
we won the first one, we'd take
1t all. I wish I could believe it.
We have a lot of kids on this
team and the Caps have veteran
pros. 1t gives them an extra
something. And any team that
can shoot like they can is always
dangerous"
1t was pointed out that the
Knicks licked the Caps five times
IN six regular-season games and
finished eight full games ahead.
only one of those five victories
was easy" Lapchick observed
and the others were dog fights
that could have gone either way
II they had, Washington might
have finished in second place"
Last nights game was truly
dog fight and could have gone
either way. A gathering of 1884
bowling fans slw Chick Reiser
sink his first goal in II tries to
tie the count at 84-all with two
minutes remaining. Here the
Knicks decided to freeze the ball
and get the last shot in. They
held 1t for one minute when
Player-Coach Bob Feerick fouled
Carl Braun. Braun made his shot
and 10 seconds later Feerick
fouled Dick Mcclure, who sank
his, giving the Knicks an 1854
lead. Goebel Ritter laid one UP
to give New York a APPOINT bulge.
Freddie Scolari sank free throw
and Don Often tapped in one to
make it 1887 with Is seconds re-
manning. Reiser's desperate longie
fell short and Harry Gallatin
found time to lay in two more
points for New York.
Caps Gain Big Lead.
Vince Boryla scored 13 points
in the first period to keep New
York in pace with the Caps, who
were led by Bones Mckinney,
Feerick, Often and Scolari. That

the end of that period. Here Rit-

Nineteen year old Yvonne
Sherman plans a career as a
concert pianist people who
know about such things predict
a brilliant future in music for
this lovely young New Yorker
and because of her piano she
also is the country's best woman
figure skater.
Miss Sherman is defending
her national women's senior
skating champion in the COM
petition which opened this
morning at the Chevy Chase Ice
Palace and will continue tomor-
row, Friday and Saturday at
Uline Arena. She also is the
North American champion-no
competition will be held for that
title this year-and won the
French international champion
ship and was third in the world
championships during a recent
trip abroad.
Her coach is the famous Gus
tave Lussi of Lake Placid-he
also coached Dick Button and
number of other top skating
stars-and he naturally thinks
she will be successful in de-
Tending her national champion
ship here. So do a lot of other
experts and it's only necessary
to look at her record for an idea
of her ice skating talent. Suf-
flee it to say that the list of
things she's won would take up
several more paragraphs.
Aspires to Concert Stage.
The slim and beautiful Miss
Sherman really owes her start
in figure skating to the piano.
She began learning that instru-
ment when only 4 years old and
Immediately showed real tai
ent and real love for music. So
much did she like it. in fact,
that unlike many other young
sters who have to be driven to
a half hours practice daily she
spent all her spare time at it.
She practiced so much that her
health suffered and her parents
decided that something must be
done to get her more exercise.
AS charter members Of the
Skating Club of New York 1t
was natural that they should
steer her to the ice sport, so at

Robinson and CostneI
Promise Torrid Bout
In Phi||y Tonight
BY the kssociofed Press

PHILADELPHIA, Mar. 22-The
thrice postponed fight between
two Of the sharpest punchers in
the welterweight ranks takes place
tonight in Convention Hall with
Champion Ray (SugaD Robinson
trading blows with George (Sugar)
Costner.
The prospect Of seeing the two
famous Sugars battle over the
10-round route In a title bout
is expected to draw upward of
Is. 1000 and a gate of around
$4,000.
While Robinson's crown will not
be at stake, tfe fight is expected
to determine whether Costner will
have a crack at the title in a
New York outdoor bout this sum-
mer for the Damon Runyon Can
Ger Fund.
The fight originally was sched-
uled for December S. For one rea-
son or the other it first was post
poned until December IL and
again until February %.
The meeting will be the second
clash between Robinson and Cost
ner. In 1945, the champion
knocked out Costner in Chicago.
Since then, however, Costner has
reached high place among the
lat Founders. He has won IL
of his 13 fights, eight by knock
outs. since transferring his base
of operations from Cincinnati to
Camden, N. j.. a year ago.
Robinson. beaten only by
MiddleWeight Champ Jake La
Motta in more than 100 fights,
rules the S to 13 favorite. Sugar
Ray holds four decisions over
La Motta and gladly would give
up his welterweight diadem for a
shot at the 160-pound crown.
Robinson's chances of beating
Costner tonight probably are bet
ter than they would be in a title
fight. They'll both enter the ring
at $50 pounds or more.
Weight has proved a problem
for Sugar Ray of late. That is
one reason why he would like to
step up to a higher class.

Mats will meet CHATTANOOGA to-
morrow, then tangle with the
Phillies Friday and the Red Sox
Saturday.
Harris decided to give the
6-foot-6 Pearce his chance to bow
In or out OF the major leagues.
Whiz for Six Innings.
Il think it's a question Of how
far Pearce can CO." Harris said
They tell me at Charlotte last
year he was whiz for six or seven
innings. He'll give those righ-
handed hitters a hard time of it,
l. think"
In Harris revised plans Clyde
Vollmer and I'd SteMart,W move
into action. Against LETT handed
pitching Voilmer Ii likely to play
1eftf1eld, with MeIe In right, while
against righthanders Gil Coan will
go to leftf1eld and Stewart to right.
Harris is convinced Irv Noren
will be capable Of handling center
field regularly. Hes going to be
our centerfielder unless he shows
he can't make it," said Harris,
"and I think he will"
Vollmer's recent hitting has cap
tivated the Mats manager. The
big Dutchman, who smashed
homers in every American League
park last year in swatting IA of
them, delivered two hits in Wash
ington's 8-5 conquest of the Bos-
ton Red Sox Monday.
Starting Role for Mickey,
Harris also is contemplating q
switch in his plans to convert
Mickey Harris into a relief pitcher
I'D prefer for him to relieve
I think he'd be a big help to us
in that sort of role" said Harris,
but he looks so good I'll prob
ably have to use him as a starter"
Mickey has permitted only one
hit in seven innings-two against
the Yankees and five against the
Red Sox-and those performances
have been refreshing to Bucky,
annoyed by So walks yielded by
his pitching staff in seven games.
Mats Notes-Concerned about
the possibility Of Noren and Third
Baseman Eddie Yost becoming
stale, Harris ordered both to re-
main out of uniform yesterday
Willy Miranda, Cuban short
stop. has been optioned to Chat
tanooga.
Outfielder Bob Ortiz is threat
ening to quit the Mats. according
to reports from Cuba. The
Mats have used up their options
on chubby Earl Davis, lefthanded
pitcher, who won two and lost
three with Charlotte last season,
