capital. They did have a naive
temerity, probably matchless in
the history of American business
and faith that comes a WhiS-
kers with from passing all un-
derstanding."
Spaulding, now 76, and the
guiding spirit of the company
was born in Whiteville, N. c., at
the time when the United States

nial of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence.

Ted Williams To
Make Comeback

MIAMI, Fla, R-Ted Williams,
the Boston Red Sox slugger now
doing a second hitch in the Marine
air force, hopes to resume his base
ball career when he gets out of
the service next September.
''If l feel right when / get out,
I'll be back in baseball" Williams
said Friday as he stopped over in
Miami on his way to California
and, he believes, on to Korea.
"Td like to play some more"
"But I'm getting near the age
where major league players begin
to 60 downhill," added Williams,
the highest-paid baseball player in
history.

give up a Boston job paying a

JOCKEYS HOPE
FOR MARK FADE

MIAMI, Fla, up - Little Tony
DeSpirito's hopes of breaking the
worlds jockey record of 388 win
nerS in year were fading fast
today after the shutout he suf-
fered in eight tries Friday at Trop-
ical Park.
The nervy, 1s-year-old Lawrence,
Mass, rider now needs Is winners
to erase the record set way back
in 1906 by Walter Miller and tied
in 1850 by Joe Culmone and Willie
Shoemaker, and he has just five
days to get them.
1t seemed an almost impossible
uphill battle for DeSpirito, who
hasn't been getting the best mounts
at Tropical and has faced fierce
competition from many other
crack jockeys riding at the Miami
track.
He'll ride at Tropical today, fly
to Havana Sunday to compete at
Oriental Park, then complete his
year at Tropical Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday.

Martinez Cops
Victory Over
Williams Fri.
By JACK HAND

NEW YORK R-Vince Martinez,
darling Of the Paterson, N. j.,
bobby sox fans, has taken another
giant step toward Rookie of the
Year honors. Now he's aiming
toward Chuck Davey.
Although young Winnie may not
be a rookie in a strict interpreta.
ton Of the rule, he was just another
obscure welter until he hit the
headlines in 1852.
Alter six-month 1ayoH because
of bad hands following an exciting
knockout over Sammy Giuliani last
June, Martinez picked up where he
left off by scoring a technical
win over Don Williams last night
at Madison Square Garden.
The end came at lbs of the ninth
round when Referee Ruby Gold
stein decided the Worcester, Mass,
veteran Of II pro fights had en-.
ough. Martinez never was able to
knock Williams off his feet but his
fast hands handed stiff punish
ment, rocking his man several
times and opening a cut over his
right eye.
Referee Goldstein and Judge Art
Aidala had it 80 after eight and
Judge Amerigo Schiavone saw it
So. The AP card was I'll.
"We're going to keep him busy
now" said Tex Petite, Mariners
manager. "We're aiming for shot
at, Chuck Davey. Right now we
haven't any definite opponent in
mind for the next two or three
fights, but eventually we want to
get Davey."
It will be eventually" because
Davey is supposed TO get a welter
title shot at Kid Gavilan before the
winter is over. Martinez will have
to wait in line.
II was pacing myself" said
Martinez "After all, / hadn't
fought in six months. / got little
tired couple of times, but l paced
myself. / didn't want to run out oi
gas"
Among the crowd Of 5,954 that
contributed to the house of SIS, ,791,
best Garden gate in several
months, was ;300-strong delega-
ton from the Westinghouse plant
where Martinez works as a drafts
man.
Martinez must have convinced
the customers. He made such an
impression on the bloody and bat
tered Williams that he decided to
quit the ring.

Wet Weather Is
Seen AT Shrine
Clash Today

SAN FRANCISCO m- Slippery
footing and damp skies were in
prospect today as Eastern gridiron
stars pitted razzle-dazzle of plays
and formations against the power
packed West in the 18th renewal
of the annual Shrine Game at
Kezar Stadium.
Despite the weather, the sta.
dium's nearly $4,000 seats have
been sold out. The game viii be
nationally televised over the Du.
mont Network and broadcast by
Mutual, starting at las pm.
Pacific Standard Time (4:45 pm,
EST.
A rainstorm swept over the San
Francisco area last night and occa-
sional rains were forecast today.
Michigan Safes Coach Clarence
(Biggie) Mum, who led his Spar
tans to No. ranking in the nation
this season, has drilled his East
quad with Is plays to be run off
the T-formation, the single and
double wings and making use of
spreads.
University of Washington's Howie
Odell has restricted to a little or
dozen the plays to be run off the
T-formation by such collegiate stars
as Oklahoma's fleet Billy Vessels
and California's crunching fullback
Johnny Olszewski.
The West remained a slight fav-
orite.
Each head mentor has a spark
plug from his own team in the
backfield. Don McAuliffe was on
hand to help Mum extend a win
ming streak unbroken at "a straight.
Odell has pitching Paul Heinrich
ready for quarterback duties. But
he indicated he would start another
brilliant signal caller, Oklahoma's
Eddie Crowder, a teammate of
Vessels on the Sooners' Big Seven
champions.
