FORT WORTH, Tex, April @
If the collective ears of the
New York Yankees, particularly
those of the veterans, are burn
ing today as they. head North
after the poorest Florida show
ing in years you can blame it on
Co-owner Dan Topping.
Far from satisfied with the
world champions performance
that has produced only eight
victories in "a exhibition games,
Topping let loose a blast aimed
at shaking them out of their
complacency.
"They think nobody can beat
them," Topping said yesterday
as he charged his veteran play
ers with being ver-conf1dent.
"The five straight pennants have
got them to thinking that way.
Well, they'll have to get that
idea out of the back of their
heads"
The Yanks should arrive home
with better record than 8-16
because after a game with
Cleveland today. they meet only
minor league competition until
April 8. Then they open a three
game series at Ebbets Field
against the Dodgers.
But regardless of their per-
formances on the homeward
trek, the Yanks can't escape the
fact they have been a bitter dis
appointment. Some of the ex-
perts say they need a take

GREENWOOD, S. c., April 2,
-Maury McDermott, inactive
nearly two weeks, may test his
arm today as mop-up man for
Bob Porterfield as the Senators
battle the Redlegs here.
McDermott, who has started
only twice and was battered on
both occasions by the Athletics
and Cardinals, has dismissed his
arm trouble as trivial, attributing
it to a cold which settled there,
but Manager Bucky Harris will
watch the colorful left-hander's
performance closely.
Maury has been pitching bat
ting practice every other day, but
Harris is anxious to watch him
under pressure. IF the weather
is pleasant, I'll let McDermott
finish up the game after Porter

Harris said. TITS time for Nc
Dermott to get some work be-

Anxious for Return to Form.
Obtained with Outfielder Tom
Umphlett in the deal that sent
Outf1elder Jackie Jensen to the
Red Sox last December, McDer-
mott didn't resemble a top-flight
pitcher in either of his previous
outings and Bucky is eager for
him to get on the beam.
Unless McDermott displays
quick recovery of his 1853 form
Bucky's pitching plans will have
to be revised, with Bunky Stew

Mickey Mantle figured to be the

able to play regularly enough to
snap the champions out of their
doldrums.
And the showing of Whitley
Ford, who won 18 games last
season and figured to be the ace
of the mound staff. has been an
other disappointment.
While blasting his veterans,
Topping said he wasn't dis
turbed too much over the Yam
KEGS poor record.
"Stengel Manager Casey STEM
geD isn't disturbed so why
should I be- he said. There
are reasons why some games
were lost. Casey preferred to
look at young players and see
what he had for the future"
Stengel got rid of eight of his
youngsters yesterday, including
Elston Howard, first Negro to
don Yankee uniform.
Howard, who was switched
from outfield to catching at the
Yankees rookie school in Feb
ruary, was sent to the Lake
Wales (FlaD training base of
the Kansas City Blues, top
Yankee farm club.
With him went Pitchers Steve
Kraly, Mel Wright and Wally

and Emil Tellinger. All will be
assigned to minor league clubs

Corky Valentine doubled him
around. In the sixth inning Roy
Mcmillan walked, Valentine sac
rificed and Bobby Adams scored
Mcmillan with a single to left.
Stewart weakened in the sew
enth, when Gus Bell and Wally
Post clipped him for homers
that boosted the Redlegs to a 40
command, but the Senators got
back in the game with a three
run outburst in the eighth after
being held to one hit by Valentine
for seven innings.
Valentine, who went the dis
tance, allowed only fourth
inning single by Umphlett dur
ing the first seven innings, but
with one down in the eighth,
Tom Wright batted for Stewart
and singled to left to touch of
a Washington uprising.

Eddie Yost walked and Pete

to score Wright and send Yost

! against Welterweight Champion
Gavilan, %.
(The telecast will be carried
by Washington's WNBW and
the radio broadcast by WMAL
(630 kc) at 10 o'clock.)
May Drop to 6-tO-5.
Gavilan will answer the bell
as an underdog. Olson started
as a 2-to-1 favorite, but latest
odds favored the middleweight
titleholder at 13-to-10, with the
likelihood they may be about 6-5
by fight time. Today there was
no betting reported on a knock
out, because most of the fans
fully expect the bout to go the
15-round limit.
At the noon weigh-in, Bobo
was expected to outweigh Cav
ilan by 6 pounds, 159 to 153.
This is the f1rst bout between
two reigning champions since
the now-retired middlew eight
king, Sugar Ray Robinson, failed
to dethrone joey Maxim, then
light-heavy champion in New
York June 25, 1852. .

The International Boxing Club
admitted it would take a last
minute rush at the box Office to

appeared likely the fight would
lure about 1880 fans, paying
some $4,000, sweetened by

Olson gets 35 per cent of the
net gate and TV money, about
a $4,000 payday, against Gavi-
lan's Is per cent for around

these four, who tossed the title back and
forth with sensational knockoutS, and
hardly any one expects anything but a

A GOVERNORS LADY

A GOVERNORS LADY
MRS. JOHN DAVIS LODGE, wife Of the Governor of
Connecticut, has established a new precedent in the life and
decorum Of a Governors Lady. Born Francesca Braggiotti, in
Florence, Mrs. Lodge brought all the festive, passionate SEN
timent and artistic temperament Of sunny Italy with her to
staid New England, and has gone over with bang, winning
f~riends-and votes. Beautiful, as only a true blond can be,
vivacious, cultured and sincere, the other day she was tender
ed a huge reception in honor of her inestimable contributions
to humanity. Cognizant of the fact that Francisco Braggiotti
Lodge, has, with admirable courage, helped ntegrate a spirit
of genuine brotherhood, not only on the local. scene, but ma
tionaIIy and internationally, six hundred women from all over
New England and New York state, irrespective Of faith, po-
litical utilization or origin, converged on the SWank Lawn
Club, New Haven, to pay tribute to this dynamic woman
who devoteS her time serving on countless committees and
boards. No social butterfly, she, content to fit, sit and sip, a
day in her life makes you wonder how this streamlined moth
er Of two gorgeous daughters, one with her own TV pro-
gram, stands the terrific pace she has set for herself.
AMONG the honorary guests for the reception were
Clare Booth Luce, US. Ambassador to Italy, Katherine Cor
nell and Helen HAYES, stars of the stage, Lcia Albanese, Met
~ropoitan Opera star, Baroness de Ferrariis Salzano, Princess
Ann Del Drago, Countess Caroline Rasponi, with wives of
Governors, Senators and Congressman rounding out the i'm
pressive list. During the function a song, La Bella Florentina,
(The Beautiful Florentine) composed by a prominent Italian
doctor, was dedicated and sung. English lyrics to. the song
were written by your scribe who also served on the executive
committee, handling all publicity and correspondence. Deep
" impressed BY the lovely ballad that was to have been sung
by Enzio PIMA who, unfortunately was called away, Mrs.
Lodge was next presented with an exquisite gold medallion,
cultured pearls and garnets surrounding her fiigreed initials
in the center.
STUNNIN in a sheathe creation of white linen en-
broidered with gold thread, rhinestone studded white san
dals, and white flowers in her blond hair, the First Lady, in
a final gesture that brought the reception to an end, cut her

cake, an exact replica Of the seal Of the state Of Connecticut.
Setting an admirable example for subsequent First Ladies,
dashing Mrs. Lodge has not only carved her name on the
hearts Of Connecticut Yankees, but on the historical tablets
as well, where il appears proudly beside her husbands in the
chronicles of the Nutmeg State.
