Troy Opposes Sandy
AT Turner'S Toniqht
In RepIay Of Suggest
By George Huber

A replay of slugfest that de-
lighted fight fans at New York's
ST. Nicholas Arena a year ago
goes on tonight at Turner's
Arena as Middleweights Willie
Troy and Randy Sandy meet in
10-rounder at 10 pm.
Troy, from Washington, won
that earlier battle with Sandy
New Yorker, on a 10th-round
technical Knockout, and is a
slight favorite to repeat tonight
1t was the only loss in Sandy's S
pro career.
The main event will be tele-
vised by CHS, with WTCP-TV
the station to watch in Wash
ington. Despite the television
competition, Promoter Goldie
Ahearn expects a good turnout
OF fans at Turner's.
In Troy's last bout in Wash
ington, back in September, he
stopped Lee Sala in the fifth
round, displaying a nice combi-
nation of punches. During the
short time the bout lasted. Troy
used several different styles. He
started as wild swinger anxious
to swarm all over his opponent,
and later settled down as long
range fighter picking the spots
for his good left jabs.
Four KnOckOuts This Year.
Last month Troy added to his
knockout list by stopping Terry
Moore in New York in seven.
That was his fifth victory in
1858 and his fourth by a knock
out. The only loss on Troy's
record came this year when he
was stopped by Holly Minis of
Washington in eight rounds.
Altogether Troy, a product of
amateur fight ranks in Wash

Mrs. Jurges wanted to know:
Bill, what in the world is the
matter with you?"
Bill confessed. "It's baseball
again, honey" (The major ball
clubs we're headed for training
camp.)
That same day came one of
the brightest moments in JurgeS'
life. In letter, Tommy Holmes.
then manager of the Boston
Braves, asked if Jurges was avail
able to coach the Braves young
inflelders at Bradenton, Fla.
Billy's elation was tempered
with trepidation when he showed
the letter to his business asso-
ciate.
The brothers-in-law looked
each other straight in the eye.

his head. you'd better CO."
Helped Train Mathews.
Among the players turned over
to Jurges at Bradenton was a
big boy named Eddie Mathews,
aged 20. Mathews had played
some at third base for the At
lanta Crackers. but Holmes was
undecided on where to try him
with the Braves. He was con-
cerned chiefly with getting the
boy on the club as a hitter. The
youngster was natural Slugger.
WED like to get him ready in
hurry" Holmes told Jurges.
In the case of Mathews, Jurges
entered upon a five-week labor
of love. He worked with the boy
for hours daily, teaching him
footwork, how to. bend for
ground balls and other third
base techniques. Mathews was
the first on hand and the last
to leave the practice field.
Holmes and John Quinn, gen.
eral manager of the Braves, were
so impressed by Mathews prog
ress that they suddenly sold Bob
Elliott, regular third baseman,
to the Giants-for $4,000.
But Jurges is quick to disclaim
any particular credit for the de-
velopment of the young man
who went on to become one Of
the most sensational young
major leaguers in recent times.
"It would have been the
same" he says, ''if any other
veteran infielder had worked

There's a tenseness in the air

more than two years..

virtual 'round-the-clock routine.

long-distance calls have been
reduced. He has troubles of his
own this week, and no time to
worry about his buddies.
Even against Tennessee in the
Sugar Bowl. when the Terps last
were underdogs, the Maryland
camp followers were impressed
with the air of Conscience. After
losing to Mississippi last year,
the Terps were favored the next
week over Alabama, and acted
like it.

coaches and players, is acting

The last time Tatum and his
assistants have been so engrossed
with their work was for the
North Carolina game here early
in 1851, when Tatum still had
tremendous respect for Carl
Snavely. Maryland won that
one, 14-7. after everybody spent
a jittery week.
One reason that Tatum is dis
turbed is that he can't see how
Mississippi can be stopped from
scoring. Somebody pointed out
that Auburn blanked the Rebels
in the only loss $500 suffered
by Ole Miss this year. Tatum
snapped back that Eagle Day.

Fears Reese Made Mistake
Billy Jurges Finds 1t Impossible
ToGet Baseball Out of Blood
By Rod Thomas

A man who once turned down
a major league managerial job
out of sheer sentiment wondered
today if Peewee Reese hasn't
made a mistake by passing up
an opportunity to direct the
Brooklyn Dodgers.
If the job were offered to Billy
Jurges-and there isn't the
slightest chance, it seems-the
| old infielder of the Chicago
Cubs and New York Giants, now
a distinguished looking As, would
be lifted into a sort of paradise.
Baseball is In my blood and
I can't get it out" Jurges was
saying. 1--WE tried hard" he
added dolefully.
For the last two years, JHrges,
a resident of Alexandria, has
been a successful manufacturers
representative, in business with
his brother law, Alexander
Stone, with Offices in the La
Sale Apartments on Connecti-
cut avenue.
In Majors IL Years.
For II years Jurges played the
infield for the Cubs and Giants,
mostly at shortstop, with stints
at second and third base. Start
ing in 1881, he was a Cub for
eight years, playing in the 1882,
'35 and '38 World Series. Traded
to the Giants, he remained from
1889 through 1945, when he was
swapped back to the Cubs. to
play one more year, serve as
coach and player in another,
then to function a season as a
full-time coach. His lifetime
batting average was .260.
After the season of '48 he ac-
cepted a job representing Spald-
ing's. He covered the Eastern
professional baseball clubs and
the training camps. In so, he left
Spalding's to manage the Cedar
Rapids Gowa) club in the
Three-I League. The glamour of
the big leagues was gone, but
Jurges was in the atmosphere
he loved. At least it was baseball.
The salary of a manager in
Class B baseball is a little too
modest for a man with a wife
and young daughter, as in the
case of Jurges. SO he quit after
a year with Cedar Rapids and

Casey Stengel's men were nei-

Then Casey was off on a de-

oddly similar assortment of
breaking pitches and slow balls.
Those two fellas certainly
make baseball look like a simple
