Boros Named Golf Pro of Year
After Dramatic Rise to TOP
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-The dra-
matte rise of Julius Boros from
obscurity to fame and fortune in
one season today earned him pro-
fessional COLTS highest award.
The 32-year-old Hungarian
born swinger was selected "pro-
fessional golfer of the year" by
the Professional Golfers Associa-
tion.
He received an overwhelming
314 votes in a poll of PGA men,
bers and sportswriters. Runner
Up Sam Snead got only 26 votes.
Boros has been a professional
only three years. He never won a
major golf tournament, profess
sional or amateur, until he cap
tured the National Open title at
Dallas, Tex, last June. He par
Ilayed this championship with a
number Of other purses and
emerged COLTS leading money
winner with a total of more than
$37, 900.
In 1850, his first year as a pro,
he won less than $4,000 and in
1851 only $4,697.
The 200-pound Boros, who re-
sides in Fairfield, Conn.,, was in
troduced to golf as a caddie and
began uiaying seriously about
1910. He served four years in the
Army and after his release in 1946,
concentrated on the game as an
amateur. He reached the quarter
finals Of the National Amateur
tournament in 1949 and turned
professional the following year.

Mantle Says Little
About Draft Rejection
By the Assoeioted Press

BAXTER SPRINGS, Kans., Nov
4.-Mickey Mantle reacted in his
usual taciturn manner to worC
that the Army again had found
him physically unfit for military
service.
II haven't anything much tc
say" he commented yesterday. He
added that he had made no plans
that an Army acceptance would
have interrupted so Il didn't think
much about it one way or an
other"
Waiting out the decision on q
selective service examination was
old stuff to the youthful New York
Yankee outfielder. Before his
latest at Fort Sill, Okla, he had
undergone two after originally be-
ing classified 4-F by his Miami
(Okla.) Draft Board.
Mantle wasn't surprised. how
ever. that his rejection this time
was due to the knee injury he suf-
fered in the 1851 World Series.
THAT knee has bothered me a
lot more than my ankle" he said,
referring to the chronic bone in
fection that caused the Army to
turn him down previously.
Mickey, who was 81 October "a,
said he planned to stay on his Job
with a construction company here
all winter, take in a few football
and basketball games and do some
hunting.
II hope this is the last of it,"
Mrs. E. C. Mantle remarked at

Bivins Takes BEATING
From Harrison After
Suspension by NBA
BY the Assosioted Press

PROVIDENCE. r. l., Nov. A.
Jimmy Bivins, Cleveland heavy
weight, today was plagued by a
double dose of fistic misfortune.
After the veteran learned he
had been suspended by the Ma
tional Boxing Association, he
dropped 10-round decision last
night to Tommy Harrison of Los
Angeles. Harrison weighed 1874
to Bivins' 185 and piled up his
winning margin with an accurate
left jab and fast footwork.
Bivins' ban was announced in
Trenton, N. j., by Abe j. Greene,
the NBA commissioner, who
charged that the Cleveland bat
tier had failed to fulfill a contract
to meet Billy Gillian of East
Orange, N. j. The ruling, how
ever, was not made in time to
interfere with Bivins' bout with
Harrison.
Harrison, who has served as a
sparring partner for Rocky Mar
ciano, had the latter'S trainer,
Charlie Goldman. presiding in his
corner as he clicked off his 25th
win in % professional starts.
BivinS is scheduled to battle
Ezzard Charles in Chicago on No
vember 26.
Greene, said Bivins agreed to
meet Gillian in Newark, N. j.,
last June II and then asked for a
postponement because of a back
injury.
Since then Bivins has beaten
Coley Wallace in New York and

Humez Beats Hairston,
Becomes Title Threat
BY the Associoted Press

PARIS, Nov. 4.-Charles HUI
mez, Frances formidable middle
weight contender, has projected
himself into the scramble for a
possible crack at Sugar Ray Rob-
inson's title.
HumeZ, third-ranking middle
weight, enhanced his champion
ship aspirations last night by scor-
ing a decisive 10-round decision
over Eugene (Silent) Hairston of
New York.
Robinson is thinking of retiring
from the ring in favor of a night
club career. If he does relinquish
his middleweight crown, Humez
could move right into considera-
tion for an elimination title bout.
Randy Turpin of England is
rated the logical contender for
the championship by the National
Boxing Association and Carl
(Bobo) Olson of Hawaii is the
second-ranking challenger.
Humez, former European well
terweight champ who had to give
up his title last year when he be-
came overweight, administered q
convincing beating to Hairston, a
Negro deaf mute.
A crowd of 10000 viewed the
one-sided bout which, at times,
was listleSS and was marked by
numerous clinching. Humez, an
ex-coal miner, staggered the fifth
ranking Hairston several times
with vicious leftS.
Earlier in the year. Humez dis
tinguished himself in middle
weight circles by outpointing Lau-
rent Dauthuille and winning q

Tronsky Bringing Great Record|C d|Cards-Browm Feud
Dixie Open Bowling Saturday Revived as Saiqh Hits
By Rod Thomas

Washipgton's classiest bowling
tournament of the season. except
ing the National Duckpin Con-
gress championships in April. is
coming off Saturday. The Dixie
Open will be rolled at the King
Pin, Hyattsville Recreation and
Bladensburg lanes, with a five
game set at each.
Most of the top-flight duck
pinners in the country will be
engaged and heading the list will
be Nick Tronsky of New Britain.
Conn.
Twenty years ago Tronsky was
chosen the No. ranking duckpin
shooter of the land.
That's his official rating now.
The adjective remarkable is a
strong one to apply to anything
in this age, but we risk it in the
case of Tronsky. For excellence
over a long stretch his record has
been surpassed probably by few
men in the annals of sport. In
a game that requires considerable
physical prowess to excel. he ap-
pears to sharpen with age.
Top Bowler Four Times.
Anyway. for the last four sea-
sons TronSky was ranked No. /
twice, second once and third once
by the National Duckpin Congress,
whose ratings are prepared strict
ly from averages in championship
competition. Ten times in 20
years Tronsky has appeared in the
first four and four times as No. l.
His record, no doubt, would have
been even brighter but for period
of spasmodic bowling. Working
long hours as shop foreman in an
airplane parts factory, Nick for six
years didn't bowl enough to be
ranked. There was some doubt
that he'd ever regain stardom.
But is he the greatest duckpin
bowler ever?
"Yes and no." say two pre-emi-
nent authorities. meaning Ben
McAlwee of Washington and
Ralph Brackbill of Baltimore,
long time chroniclers of the game.
Clarke Earns High Rating.
They agree that Tronsky must
be named if the choice is based
on performance over a long period.
Otherwise the distinction goes to
Astor Clarke who for six straight
seasons. ending with 1941 when he
left Washington to live in Florida
and retired from bowling, held the
No. I ranking. In those six sea-

Today's puzzler: Who was the
only player to win a batting
championship without hitting a
single home run?
Answer: Zack Wheat of Brook
lyn led the National League in
1918 with a 1886 batting average
without hitting a single home run.
The 1853 baseball season is still
some six months away but already
the Giants are plugging three
freshmen for rookie-of -the-year
honors. The pride of the new
comers is Bill Taylor, 23-year-old
|outfielder, who led the Western
League at Sioux City, Iowa, in
1949 with .346 mark before en-
tering the Army. Taylor, who is
expected to be discharged next
February. is a power hitter. He
hit 80 homers and drove in 109
runs in los games before a broken
leg sidelined him for the remain
ing six weeks of the campaign.

average. and Shortstop Daryl

By The Associosed Pres,

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 4.-The Cardi-
nails and Browns are at each
others throats again-this time
over Harry (The Cat) Brecheen-
and the issue has gone to Com
missioner Ford Prick for settle
ment.
Fred Saigh. owner Of the Cardi-
mails. said last night he has pro-
tested the matter on two counts.
He says the Browns either tam
pered" with Brecheen while he
still was a Cardinal pitcher or
did so after he had an oral agree
ment to become a Redbird coach,
or both.
Brecheen. 80. was signed by the
Browns last week to pitch in 1858
Saigh said he didn't want
Brecheen back on my club" add
ing that he did want "our neigh
Dor to quit meddling in our
affairs"
Bill Veeck, owner of the Browns
Immediately denied the charge
saying:
I'VE adhered to the rules and
have nothing to worry about. He's
just trying to save face. I'm very
happy to have him protest. be-
cause I've lost so many protests
and misery loves company"
Saigh contends the Browns
couldn't legally talk to Brecheen
until October 28. Brecheen said
at his home in Ava, Okla. that
Marty Marion. the Browns man.
ager, didn't talk to him until Oc-
tober % or later.
Cites Waiting Periods.
Saigh said his club asked waiv.
ers on Brecheen October 10. He
said a seven-day period follows fol
other clubs to claim the pitcher
Another six-day period. Saigf
said, follows during which Bre.
cheen could reject any claims or
him. since he is a 10-year man
Then. Saigh added, comes an.
other f1ve-day period before tn.
club has to grant an uncondi.
tional release.
Actually. Saigh added, Brecheer
has never asked for or received
a release from the Cardinals.
To back up the second point OF
his protest to Frick, Saigh sale
Brecheen had agreed orally, the
day waivers were asked on him
TO become a Cardinal coach.
Saigh said that constitutes ar
acceptance Of terms" under
league rules and means no Other
club could talk with Brecheer
about job until Saigh or Bre-
cheen rejected the oral agreement
about the coaching job. Brecheer
has never turned down the Car
dinal offer and still has the con-
tract. Saigh declared.
Marion Calls 1t "Silly."
| Saigh said he sent the protest
to Frick last Friday after getting
new evidence that pins a conver-
Sation Marion had with Brecheen
right after we asked waivers"
Marion dismissed Saigh'S protest
as silly" and denied he had talked
to Brecheen that soon.
Brecheen said: II don't know
what he (Saigh) is trying to do
I If it had been anybody except the
Browns he wouldn't have cared
The two st. Louis club owners
have been feuding since Veeck
took over the Browns in July, 1851
The feud gained added strength
after Veeck hired Marion as man
ager for the 1852 season soon after
Saigh fired him from the same jok
with the Redbirds.
Both clubs share Sportsman.
Park. which is owned by the
Browns, and have next-doo1
