Al Kozars Stock Rising Mats Prepare Take Big Boys
Second Bosemun's Showinq
Features Win Over PhiIIies
BY Burton Howkins
Stor Stoff Correspondent


ORLANDO, Fla, Mar. 14.-With
the first three games against the
two Philadelphia teams out of the
way, Bucky Harris has a couple
of days to think things over and
get the Mats ready to send against
the big boys.
Starting Thursday with the
New York Yankees at st. Peters
burg, the Mats take on the ST.
Louis Cardinals, Cincinnati Reds
Detroit Tigers and Boston Red
Sox in succession.
Summing things UP after two
losses to the Athletics and yes
terday's Us victory over the
Phillies, Harris found plenty to
be concerned about in his pitchers
lack of control, but he was a little
more encouraged about some OF
his other prospects.
Kozar Hitting Right Flanders.
Al Kozar. for one. has been
making a pretty good impression
on his manager in his battle to
win a regular berth at second
base. Kozar, who last year sur
rendered his post to Sherry Rob-
ertson when right-handed pitchers
worked against the Mats, is off tc
a good start with a .444 batting
average in three games. Anc
three of his four hits have beer
socked off right-handers.
Defensively, Al has been more
than adequate, initiating three
double plays.
It was Kozar who supplied the
eighth-inning single that scored
two runs. Gaping a three-run
rally that helped defeat the Phil
lies. This hit came off Ken Trim
kle. Earlier in the game Al poked
out single off Blk Donnelly, an
other Highlander who formerly
was with the Cardinals.
Kozar is part of a trio which
was graduated to the Mats. by
various routes, from the 194e
Scranton club, which won the
Eastern League championship. His
teammates then and now were
Shortstop Sam Dente and Right
fielder Sam Mele. Another former
Scranton employe of earlier
vintage is Pitcher Mickey Harris
Hope for Improvement.
The Mats have acquired a rep
resentative slice of that 1916
Scranton team, but they'd relish
two others who played with Kozar,
Dente and Mele on that club. They
are Mel Parnell, who won Is
games for the Red Sox last year,
and Maurice McDermott, another
Red Sox left-hander, who is re-
garded as one of the more prom
Using pitchers in the industry.
A .339 hitter with New Orleans
in 1947, Kozar hasn't fulfilled his
promise, but he did raise a .25C
average in 1948 to .269 last season
Harris would settle for the same
sort of improvement this year, fol-
Kozar batting in the vicinity OF
.285 would solve the Mats second
base problem.

KANSAS CITY, Mar. IA
Eight games today will complete
the first round in the National
Association of intercollegiate Bas-
ketball tournament, and it looks
like a wide-open scramble for top

American University failed to
get over the first hurdle. bowling
to George Pepperdine of Los An
geles, $3.50. in the midnight finale
of a sparkling opening day card.
But the Eagles turned in one of
the opening programs best games
and the result established the Los
Angeles five as one of the real
title threats. The score was tied
or the lead changed 80 times be-
fore Pepperdine pulled ahead to
stay.
Top-seeded Hamline University,
defending champion. had to rally
in the second half to win from
a mediocre Regis College five of
Denver. after trailing by II points
in the first half. They were final
lists last year. It was a thriller,
with Hamline taking command
in the last three minutes. Hal

ment's outstanding player last

fouls-33 points-to stake a claim
