portant game last year.
The score of a game between
two teams battling for the pen
nant was tied in the eighth inning
when the first batter raped a line
drive over the second baseman's
head.
The batter, sensing that his
drive was soaring about half way
between the right fielder and the
center fielder. rounded first base
by several feet. His eyes were
focused on the ball.
When the center fielder, who
was a right handed thrower,
stretched out his glove hand to
stop this drive, which could have
been played by either outfielder
as 1t skipped along the ground,
the batter elected to break for
second.
The center fielder was not

Indoor Boxing Crowds
Drop for Second Year.;
Smith Beats Torres

The indoor boxing season is
ended at Turner's Arena and for
the second straight year there has
been a drop in attendance. Match
maker Gabe Menendez estimates
the decrease at about 80 per cent
from the previous season and ad-
mits it might be due to televiSion.
At the same time he predicts that
his summer outdoor shows at Grit
nth Stadium, which will not be
televised. will do better.
MenendeZ, however, thinks it
was a reasonably successful winter
season for the development Of
Washington boxing talent. Among
those he lists as rising from the
preliminary boy class are Gene
Smith, Marshall Clayton, Pat
Thomas and Julian Keene. Smith
and Clayton were featured on
last nights final show. Smith win
ming over Aponti Torres and Clay
ton losing to Bob Lloyd.
Smith at 125 pounds won his
10th straight fight in decisioning
Torres in a seven-rounder. He
scored repeatedly with long
punches and tied up Torres when
the latter got close.
Clayton, weighing 139, expert
enced his first defeat in 10 pro
bouts when the left-handed Lloyd
baff1ed him throughout an eight
rounder. Clayton also was both
cred by a right eye that was cut
in the third round.
Best Of last nights prelims was
a slugging rematch of a light
weight scrap between Frank Ball
and Ken Leitch. Ball won the
hot four-rounder to make up for
'Leitch's knockout victory last
week. In other prelims, Light
heavyweights Kid Wolfe and John
Shields drew, Lightweight Jim Sc
well decisioned Joe Davis and Mid
dleweight Chuck Goldsby scored a

LITTLE SPORT
By MerreII WhittIesey

It cost Pro Max Elbin at least
$50 to be a nice guy yesterday, 50
from now on he's going to get
tough.
The dapper dresser from Burn
ing Tree could have been the big
winner in a Mid-Atlantic PGA
Pro-Amateur at Rolling Road.
The seasons first event drew 176
players. including a near-record
field of ~ pros and there was 5000
in prize money. making the top
pro-sweeps and pro-am prizes
worth winning.
Max started of by driving the
green on the sloping 308-yard par
four first hole. He two-putted for
a birdie. On the tough 449-yard
par four second he was on in two
and trimmed the cup from 8 feet
away. The ball trickled a few
inches past the cup and Max
stepped up to putt 1t out.
II won't step in your line" he
told his playing partners, and
twisted himself pretzel shape at
tempting to keep his feet out of
their line as he putted out. They
told him to go ahead and stand
where he should. but no. Max
wanted to be courteous. Well. he
missed the 6-inch putt, then
missed the tap from the other side
and four-putted for six.
Bassler Wins Pro Sweeps.
He played the next Is holes in
even par, hit Is greens for the
day and shot II where he should
have shot SO. He and his part
ners, DR.. Robert Sheppard of the
host club and Bob Meacham Of
All View, had best-ball scores Of
ga, one stroke higher than the
So. DR.. Sheppard holed
two straight shots from off the
green on the 18th and 18th holes
as he helped Max post the six
under-par best ball. Thus Max
won second money three times
instead of three firsts.
Charley Bassler, the District
Open champ from the host club,
beat darkness by minutes and won
the pro sweeps with the only sub
par round of the day, a SO. Roll
ing Road usually plays easy but 1t
wasn't easy yesterday. why nobody
could quite figure out.
In fact, it was tough enough for
Chandler Harper. one of pro COLTS
leading money winners. to take
79 strokes.
Elbin and 55-year-old Charles
Betschler of Hillendale tied for
second in the pro sweeps with Ills
and AL Houghton, who slipped
over par on the last three holes,
was next with the only 72.
PrO-Am to Norfolk Pair.
The pro-am was won by Nor
folks Johnny O'Donnell and 1t.
John Golfer with a SO. They flew
up from Norfolk, played at 8 am.
and had their score posted before
most of the others showed up.
Golfer shot a u and had S handi-

NEW YORK, April 18.-The
hardboots down in Kentucky, hot
on Oil Capitol and Your Host for
the Kentucky Derby. had better
hold off jumping clear overheard
until after the Wood Memorial
at Jamaica Saturday.
Or, at least until Middleground
makes his next public appearance.
The King Ranch 3-year-old
hooked up with four older horses
yesterday in the Requested Handi-
cap at Jamaica. Only My Request
was ahead of him at the wire and
1t took one of the fastest mile and
a sixteenth in the history of At
years-old Jamaica to do the job.
My Request was caught in
1:4315, compared with Sting'S
track record of 1:4235, which has
stood for Is years.
Sizzling Performance.
Considering that Middleground
was meeting mature, older horses
in the race. it was a sizzling per-
formance not only for My Request,
but for the King Ranch colt. too
Middleground was the 4-to-5
faVorite.
Trainer Max HirSch isn't sure
whether Middleground will start
in the $4,000 Wood Memorial
over the same distance. This is
the final major Eastern test for
the Derby horses.
However, if he does start. Mid
dleground probably will go off as
the favorite. This. regardless of

best Wood Memorials in years,
especially since Middleground' S

TwO-hOrse Race.
Here were two Texas owned
gallopers. who made it a two
horse race. Middleground went
ahead at the break and stayed
there until Jockey Bill Boland
eased him entering the back
stretch. Eric Guerin, plotting My
Request, took over then, and the
Whitaker 5-year-old never gave
up the lead. Alfred Vanderbilt's
Loser Weeper was five lengths
back in third place at the finish.
Veteran clockers were amazed
when they looked at their stop
watches for fractional times. The
mile, for instance, was run in 1886,
which one clocker said was the
fastest mile ever recorded at
Jamaica. There are no mile races
over the egg-shaped Jamaica
course.
That was Man O. War time ~

1ieve it until I checked the
watches of two other clockers and

The NAACP petition contends
that the death penalty for rape
IS discriminatory in that it has
