Civil Rights
Bill Doomed

In an open letter to the citizens
OF Washington, Hugh B. Mitchell.
Member of Congress, First District
points out that the coalition dooms
the failure, of civil rights legisla.
ton, that war is less likely be-
cause of foreign aid and lists many
other measures that will confront
Congress in 1852.
Here are some of the things Nit
chell says 1852 holds:
Maintenance of the basic de-
tense program will not have too
much opposition.
Initiation control has been kick
ed around and too many would still
rather take a chance than be sure.
To be sure would mean real price
control through the reversal of vot-
es cast for the Capehart, Herlong
and Fl ope price-boosting amend
ments adopted last year.
Congress last year refused to
plug the loopholes which favor the
few and despite the increased need
fer defense budget balancing funds,
there is little chance or tightening
the laws in 1862.
Foreign aid which has strength
ened the free world and made war
less likely win be continued but in
creased emphasis will not be given
undeveloped-area economic aid. so
important in the fight for freedom
from hunger.
Legislation to adjust federal
wage inequities and to modernize
retirement annuities, to modify the
Taft-Hartley Act. to appropriate
for essential government activities
to improve social security. to in
crease national strength by wise
investment in natural resource de-
velopment--these and hundreds of
other. problems make up the Con.
gressional program.
Mitchell also expressed belief
that the S2nd Congress opens with
an under current feeling that "the
coalition which foreclosed action
on much legislation in 1851 will be
stronger this year"
Mitchell's open letter concluded:
"In 1852, it is up to the people to
determine what kind of Congress
they want. What can do to make
the choice apparent, shall do.

Training Season Ends
For Mats, Beginning

ORLANDO, Fla, April 2.-The
Mats end the five-week Florida
portion of their spring training to-
day and start a week-long journey
home heartened by unexpected
good pitching but sobered by an
alarming batting slump.
They launched a series of eight
games here today with the Gin
cinnati Reds. who will be their op-
ponentS on swing through the
Carolinas, Virginia and West Vir-
Iginia. and in those contests Man
ager Bucky Harris is hoping the

He's hitting a respectable 1902.
Other Mats Have Bad Time.
Other Mats are having a rugged
time of it. Mickey GraSso and
Clyde Kluttz, who will share the
Mats catching, are batting .13O
and .187, respectively. Eddie Yost
is hitting .209, Gil Coan, .260; Irv
Noren, .203; Mickey Vernon, .229;
Sam Mele, 1872, and Pete Runnels,

Those figures may be discarded
as of April Is. when the Mats
start playing for keeps, but they
are cause enough for worry. The
Mats have averaged less than three
runs in their last five games and
a continuation of that sort of
hitting will sabotage polished
pitching.

AUGUSTA, Ca, April 2.-Ben
Hogan, the defending Masters
champion, is the biggest name in
golf today, but there's an old
guard of Texans and others which
long has claimed that Byron Nell
son would be the greatest of all
liz he had remained in competi-
ton.
On the eve of the 10th Masters
Tournament starting tomorrow
over the 6.950-yard Augusta Ma
tional Club course, Nelson still
has followers who claim he is
playing good enough golf at pres
ent to join Jimmy Demaret as the
only three-time winner of this
exclusive event.
Nelson has just turned 40. He
is stouter and is almost completely
gray. He quit active tournament
golf in 1946, the year he won five
of the big-money tournaments, but
always plays in the Masters and
maybe one or two other tourna-
ments a year.
Lord Byron, as they called him
when he won two Masters cham
|pionships, two National PGAs and
the National Open, claims $1,000
cash for as many exhibition
matches as he cares to play and
has other business interests that
have placed him in the inde-
pendent class.
In the Money Since 1885.
But Nelson has said he will play
in the Masters as long as he is
able to walk 72 holes and he has
never finished out of the money
since the second Masters in 1885.
His worst performance since that
time was 18th in 1916. He won
the Masters twice, was second
once and tied for second once.
Nelson tied for eighth last year
and in 1850 tied for fourth. The
two previous years he tied for
eighth and in 1947 tied for second
behind Demaret. His last victory
was in 1912, when he beat Hogan
in a playof, and he won his other
title in 1897.
Nelson played a practice round
yesterday with Billy Maxwell. the
National Amateur champion, and
on the surface it appeared Nell
sons chief object was to show
Maxwell how to play the course.

dale. Leo LeBrun, Gonzales and
Luis Ramos.
Flanagan Winner So Times.
Flanagan, a brown-haired Irish
man, isn't the puncher Smith is,
but his longer record has a fair
|sprinkling of knockout victories.
Since entering the pros six years
ago he's won So fights, lost eight
and had eight draws. He hasn't
lost to a featherweight since Ray
Famechon took him in 10 rounds
late in 1850. And only once in
his career has he lost on q
knockout.
In his one workout here, Flana-
|gan showed himself speedy and
rather clever boxer. He punches
well with a low left hook. He's
light afoot and he protects him
self adequately without being a
back-pedaler.
incidentally, Flanagan will have
la slight weight edge tonight. He
weighs around 1870 pounds. while
Smith weighs about 126.

said last spring. "Can't let a guy

manager concluded.
Hemus was listed as a second
baSeman in 1851 but Solly figured
he had no chance of taking the
job away from Red Schoendienst
so he practiced playing short and
third during the winter.
Once Hemus took over as q
regular in July he was in the
lineup for keeps.
Hemus pounded out a triple and
two singles yesterday as the Cards
defeated the Detroit Tigers, SO
at st. Petersburg, Fla. The blows

In Bout Tonight, ,
Winner of UIine Fight
May Get Chance
At Sandy Soldier
By George Huber

Featherweight Gene Smith, lit
tie Washington Negro who can
knock out an opponent with either
hand and who has done SO
frequently, is a Us favorite to
keep his winning string going to-
night against Glen Flanagan of
st. Paul in the feature 10-rounder
at Uline Arena.
Both are ranking 126-pounders
and when the new rating list
comes out later this month, the
winner of tonight's fight should be
very close to the top among the
contenders for Sandy Saddler's
championship. A title fight
against Saddler hasn't been prom
ised, the winner, but such a bout
is a; strong possibility, especially
If Smith, who is becoming q big
drawing card in the East, comes
out ahead.
Promoter Goldie Ahearn, who
was pleasantly surprised in Janu-
airy when his last Smith fight drew
5000 customers and a gross gate
of close to $4,000, is predicting a
turnout of 1000 and a gate of
nearly $4,000 tonight.
Bout Broadcast and Televised.
Tonight's bout is being given
the full treatment by the Co.
lumbia Broadcasting System. In
Washington it will be on radio
over WTOP and on television over
WTOP-TV at 10 pm.
Smith will be shooting for his
30th straight victory and his oath
knockout against an opponent
generally regarded as his toughest
to date. Such a rating, too, was
given Corky Gonzales in January,
who, like Flanagan, rates in the
first 10 among featherweights.

you came to the conclusion that
lit was Nelson who was firing for

Nelson Keeps in Trim.
The Masters requires only 18
holes a day, not SO the final day
like the National Open and SO
the last five days like the PGA,
and there certainly is nothing in
18 holes a day that should bother
Byron. His golf is sharp as a re-
suit of exhibition matches and
he always adopts a training
schedule before the Masters to put
him in shape.
Nelson holds the lowest scoring
average for the Masters tourna-
mentS. In age his is at the point
where it favors him in terms of
experience. He knows the golf
course better than any player
present. The only thing against
him is whether he can attain the
competitive edge necessary for a
Masters triumph on short notice.
He has everything else.
