Fred Soigh Makes
Farewell Speech
To St. Louis Team
BY the Associoted Press

ST. PETERSBURG. Fla, Mar.
9.-Fred Saigh and the st. Louis
Cardinals officially part company
today when the former owner Of
the Cards leaves their camp
here for st. Louis to turn the
club over to August Busch.
Saigh, who is scheduled to
start a prison sentence for in
come tax evasion May 4, sold the
club to Busch. head of the An
heuser-Busch Brewing Co., two
weeks ago.
He stayed with the team in
st. Petersburg, Fla. until the
very end and before leaving gave
the players a short talk.
This is the last time I'll see
you as owner of the Cardinals"
he said. Il regret very much
having to leave you. My senti-
ments will aWays be with you
and l want you to play as hard
for the new owners as you would
for me-"
Thus ended the dapper little
attorneys association with base
ball, probably forever. Before he
bought the Cards with the late
Bob flanagan in 1947, he had
no experience in the game what
soever. He bought out the former
postmaster general in 1949.

had a time of it after the game

A basketball team can't miss
as many shots as Georgetown
did against Louisville in the
opening round Of the National
Invitation Tournament Saturday
night and still win.
AS one expert put it later:
"All season long we've had
one or two boys hitting. Usually
it was Bill Bolger and Lou
Gigantic. And when these two
hit, the others also start COM
ing through"
The speaker produced a piece
Of paper. 1t showed that Bolger,
who holds the all-time scoring
total at the Hilltop, scored five
field goals in IL attempts in the
first half. The Hoyas were very
much in the game during this
time. Bolger hit only once in
eight shots in the second half.
Gigantic, the 5-foot-10 back
court long shot, went three for
IA for the night.
COach'S Wife Knows Stuff.
Mrs. Bonnie Jeanette. wife of
Georgetown Coach Buddy jean
nette, had the Hoyas making
only IS for 81 shots. The official
scorer had it rs for 80. but the
here is to give the lady
the benefit of the doubt. After
all, Mrs. Jeanette has been fol-
lowing her husband around on
his basketball ventures for the
last II years or ever since Buddy
talked a friend into selling his
golf clubs.
Buddy. just out Of Washington
and Jefferson, got his first pro
basketball job as a player for a
club in Warren. Pa, Bonnie's
home town. But he didn't meet
the girl he was destined to marry
until the night before he was
leaving town at the end of the
season.
But after meeting the attrac-
tive brunette, Buddy couldn't
stay away. After two weeks at
his home in New Kensington, Pa,
he went back to Warren.

Loyola had to go into over

Louisville Hot Now.

contest the Jaspers won in the
Garden last December, $3.50.
Louisville has won IL of it's last
Is games, including a 1857 de-
cision over top-seeded Seton
Hall.
Seton Hall, incidentally, moves
into the picture tomorrow night
against the winner of the
Brigham Young-Niagara game.
Western Kentucky, seeded No. 3,
will tackle Duquesne, which has
been tabled as the tournament
dark horse, in another game to-
morrow.
Meanwhile the small college
event in Kansas City gets under
way at noon with eight games
slated for today, tomorrow and
Wednesday, four Thursday and
two each Friday and Saturday.
There's never favorite in this
whirligig, although the defend
ing champion, Springfield (Mo.)
State, will be back for another
try. The team that does wind
up with the title Saturday night
will have won five times in six
days.
AS for the NCAA confusion,
it all stems from the tight races
in the Ivy League and Big Seven.
Penn is one game ahead of
Columbia in the Ivy League and
Kansas holds the same margin
over Kansas State in the Big
Seven.
TOnight's Games Vital.
Tonight's games will partially
tell the story. Penn plays Har-
ward and Columbia goes against
Princeton. If Penn should lose,
which is unlikely. and Columbia
win, the race would be tied and
would be decided in a playof
on neutral court Wednesday.
Kansas plays Missouri at Co.
lumbia and a triumph will sew
it up for the Jayhawks. If they
lose and Kansas State beats
Nebraska tomorrow night, the
toss of a coin will decide the
winner.
Tomorrow's NCAA action will
be to narrow the field to four
teams for each Of the four
regional tournaments slated for
Friday and Saturday. The VIM
ners then go to Kansas City
for the finals.

Wynn put his name on the

Wynn, last of Cleveland's
