Casey Stengel's stock reply in
nearly every discussion concern
ing the relative merits of his
Yankees and the power-laden
Red Sox has been: Yeah, but I
got Joe Page"
More than once during the
spring training grind. the Yankees
manager was reminded that the
Red Sox owned the greatest hit
tiers in Ted Williams and Vern
Stephens and the best pitchers in
Mel Parnell and Ellis Kinder. To
all this, the grizzled Stengel would
reply:
Yeah, but got Joe Page!"
This statement becomes more
significant every day as the Amer
ican League pennant race swings
into the close of the opening week.
To date, the Yankees have
played four games. They've won
three and lost one Page. the
brilliant relief artist, has been
summoned to relieve faltering
mates in three of them. The
Yankees won all three. Page re-
ceived credit for one and saved
two for other hurlers.

Charley Justice Here
To Talk Terms Today
With Redskin Coach

Charley Justice. North Caro-
lina's S All-America back. has date
today with Coach Herman Ball Of
the Redskins to discuss a possible
pro football career with the Wash
ington team. Justice is here at
the clubs invitation despite his
repeated declarations that he
doesn't intend to play pro ball.
Justice. who skyrocketed TO foot
ball fame as an lS-vear-old star
with the Bainbridge Naval Train
ing Station eleven during the war,
repeatedly has accepted a posi-
ton with the North Carolina
State Health Department after his
graduation in June. The position
is supposed to pay about $6.500,
and the Redskins hope that the
offer of a lucrative contract. plus
a leave of absence from the health
department. will win Choo Choo
over.
Some thought Justice already
had signed when his name was
among several mentioned in a
telegram from George Marshall,
Redskin president. to Manager
Bucky Harris of the Mats. The
message was read at luncheon
in honor of the baseball team at
the Touchdown Club last Monday.
But General Manager Dick Nc
Cam of the Redskins reafirmed
today that the North Carolinian
had not signed and might not
agree to terms.
McCann said no contract terms
had been offered Justice, nor had
he been approached. officially,
about playing for the Redskins.
He indicated that Ball probably
would outline the Redskins offer
and that Charley would return to
North Carolina to think things
over.

VIRGINIA BEACH, April 22.-
There wasn't anything phenom-
enal about the way Putter Jim
Ferrier's quartet won the Cavalier
Specialists golf match yesterday
with a two-under par 67-but
there was something truly re-
markable about the way Chan
dler Harpers team lost it.
Can you imagine a team of four
top pro stars, each hitting shots
for which he is famous, going four
over par within the space of two
holes? And the par As on which
Capt. Harper's team took 6-6 are
not difficult, in fact one of them
is just an overgrown par 3.
1t Looked Like a Breeze.
With Jimmy Demaret driving
smartly, Skip Alexander playing
some beautiful long irons, Dave
Douglas hitting short shots with
the cunning of Hogan and Har-
per putting well, the No team
in the specialists match was S un-
der par through II holes. No.
body else was better than / under
and the chilled gallery following
the two foursomes was beginning
to lose interest.
But all of sudden the match
was close, and the action on the
two holes that cost Harper's team
the $500 prize is worth describing.
On the 400-yard. dogleg 18th,
Demaret's tee shot was trif1e
off center, but Alexander had a
clear shot. He said he used the
wrong club, however. despite a
huddle by his teammates, and
missed the green to the right.
There Douglas flubbed a chip
shot, hit the next one on the
green and Harper 2-putted for
8. Ferrier dropped an 8-footer
for a birdie on this hole and his
team picked up three shots.
On the 317-yard. straightaway
18th, Demaret drove in the woods
to the left. Douglas approached
over the green into a trap, fiubbed
q shot in the trap and then
pitched 20 inches from the cup.
At this point. Harper missed and
took a 6. So they went from S
under to / under in two holes.

Victory Here Consoles
European Ringmen
For Loss in West
By George Huber

Europe's amateur boxing cham
pions have an extremely gratify-
ing So triumph over Washing
tons Golden Gloves-AAU cham
pions to look back upon when
they leave this country Sunday
for their various homelands. Their
team victory before more than
5000 fans at Uline Arena last
night balanced a 6-2 setback
early this week from the Mid
western Golden Glovers at Chi
cago.
Particularly outstanding here
for the Europeans were Feather
weight Jacques Bataille of France,
and Light-heavyWeight Giovanni
de Segni of Italy. Also showing
better than average for amateurs
were Welterweight Victor Jorgen-
sen of Denmark and Middleweight
Robert Wallet of France. Europe's S
other triumph was scored by Fly
weight Pentti Hamalainen of Fin
land who was awarded his bout
against Oliver James of WASH
ington because James was over.
weight. Although no official de-
cision was given on the match
they fought, the opinion of ring
siders was that Hamalainen won.
Lee Best on Card.
Good as were the Europeans,
the best fighter was Heavyweight
Norvel Lee of Howard University
The National Golden Gloves and
AAU champion added worthwhile
honors with his classy triumph
over Finland's Teemu Kuusela.
Lees left hook f1oored Kuusela in
the first round, and for the rest
of the Stanza Norvel gave the Fin
such beating the latter was not
permitted to come out for the
second.
Also winning by a technical
knockout for Washington was
Lightweight Willie Davis. He had
a busy session with Ireland's Mike
McCullagh until McCullagh re-
ceived cut eye, causing Referee
Victor De Fillippo to stop the bout
in the third round. The other
Washington winner was Bantam
weight Paul Nicol who floored
Denmark's Henning Jensen in the
first and third rounds en- route to
a unanimous decision.
Bataille, the French feather
weight, had his hands full with
Bunky Frazier, but was able to
dish out more than he took, both
in skill and slugging. It was one
of the nights best brawls.
Thompson Is Upset Victim.
Italy's De Segni scored a real
upset in beating Eldridge Thomp-
son of the Quantico Marines, who
recently won the National AAU
championship. De Segni proved
to be a clever boxer as we'll as q
slugger. He decked Thompson
with a straight left in the first
round.
Also a smart boxer was Jorgen-
sen, Danish Welter, who beat Ma
rio De Saints, another Quantico
stalwart. 1t was close bout and
the decision was booed.
The nights top slugging bee
was between Middleweights Wallet
and Walter Stipanovich, won by
Wallet. Neither asked or gave
quarter. and Wallet was bleeding
from the nose from the second
round on. The decision here also
was booed, but all in all, interna-
tional good will prevailed.
