THHHIS CAVE is island named Mas TERRA in the
Fernandez group 365 miles west of Central Chile.
It's story begins aboard pirate ship at the beginning of the
18th century.
The quartermaster Alexander Selkirk had words with
his captain he stated would rather be put of
lonely island than to sail longer that particular ship
Capt Stradling not to take such statements
lightly put Selkrk off TERRA AS the ship
began pull Serk had change of heart and shouted
that all forgiven but hts words fell merciless
This in October, 1704 For more than four years,
Sekk lived there by his ingenuity He unusually
resourcefu and he made for himself the best life possible
He also physically well adapted to his mode of living
1t is said that he agile and fast that he could down
and catch mountain goats.
Much of the time he lived in cave, picture of which
is above lone night in this than enough for
It occupied by vast host Of exceedingly hungry
insects and retreat to less historic but also less trying
surroundings made at DAWN In February, 1903,
English ship put in and Sekirk taken England
His story quickly spread throughout England and
into Europe Living in London at that time
by the of Daniel Deoe. Basng his story Sekrks
experiences he wrote Robinson Crusoe."
There the story ends except for the PS that after being
back in civilization for while Sekk bitterly regretted having
left his little Shanghai.

Rosen admitted that the ac-

son will strengthen the Yanks.
"All the more reason why we
must come up with an outfield-
err" he decided. "Byrd's unor-
thodox delivery will be tougher
in Yankee Stadium and there's
no question but that Robinson
will help the club.
What gets me is how the
Yankees stay hungry" he
sighed.
Rosen said he's not going to
set his sights or the SO home
runs this season.
1--we learned from experience
that swinging for the fences af-
feLts your hitting" he observed
"I'll take them as they come,
Homers, to me, seem to come in
tflnches. But I'm not worried
soout my hitting It's my field

as last season-work on how to
play third base three times as
long as I practice hitting"

Austrian Skiers Sweep
Final Events al Festival
BY the AssoeIoted Press

1TZBUEHEL, Austria, Jan. Is.
-Austria's skiers, heavy favor
ties for the coming world cham
pionShips in Sweden, won the
two final events of the third In
ternational Ski Festival yester-
day.
The winners in the special
SALON races for men and women
were Toni SpiSS and Regina
Schoepf, who defeated top COM
petitors from the United States,
Canada and nine European ma
tons.
The 19-year-old girl raced
through the SO tricky gates of
the 500-meter icy course in a
total time of 125 seconds for two
heats.
In the second heat Miss
Schoepf turned in the days best
time with 62.1 seconds. But
there was no need for this dan
gerous speed. Her closest rival.
Frau Buchner, was disqualified
after the race because she had
missed a gate.
The 22-year-oId Spiss outsped
81 rivals in a total time of 1874
seconds for two heats and the
event.

By the Associated Pres,

NEW YORK. Jan. 25.-Al
Rosen. who slugged his way to
the American Leagues most val
liable player award last year,
said today the Indians could
beat out the Yankees for the
pennant this year, but left him
self an opening.
"A deal for an outfielder might
do it." he declared. The OUT
spoken third baseman admitted
that the present Cleveland out
field of Dale Mitchell. Larry
Dolby and Wally Westlake would
not be strong enough to edge
out the Yanks.
I'm also reckoning the Yam
kee pitchers age" Rosen said.
He contends that the Yankees
five straight championships
stemmed mainly from Allie Rey-
nolds, Vic Raschi and Ed Lopat.
"And I'm not forgetting Whitley
Ford, who made a very big diff
ference last year." he added.
Vet. ! maintain that when
ana if Reynolds. Raschi and
p Lopat tall ip their mid thirties)
folo-look out. All the other
clubs in the league know about
Reynolds bad back and Raschi's
sore knee.
Even If Lopat is as good as he
was last year, the Yanks could
not very well make it without
Reynolds and Raschi."

BY John P. Carmichael

CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-There Is
no immediate cause for alarm
over baseball's holdout stories
which are beginning to appear
like spots before the readers
eyes. Contracts which have to
be sent out by February l need
not be signed for another month
or more, which allows ample
time for negotiations.
1t appears that the Yankees
are in for war of nerves with
a half dozen players as the result
of winning their fifth consecu-
tive pennant and world cham
pionship in 1858.
Some of the men who wrote
that latest success story want
more money for their efforts.
The champions only drew about
200, 900 more fans. at home, than
did the White Sox last season,
but they won and. as winners.
they're expected to pay of in
increased wages.
Gil McDougald, Mickey Mantle,
Phil RiZZuto and Whitley Ford,
who recently expressed a desire
for more dough, apparently re-
call the recent real estate deal
whereby the Yankee co-owners,
Del Webb and Dan Topping.
made themselves $780, 900 each
by selling Yankee Stadium and
leasing it hack again.
Only Three Top $4,000.
Aside from Stan Musial, Ted
Williams and Ralph Kiner. it is
unlikely that any big league
player gets more than $4,000 a
year. Berra, who got S37 500
last season. accepted SAC. 900 for
1854. Rizzuto asks a similar
check for what could be his last
year in the big time. The
others are of less financial con-
Germ.
The Yankees, Indians and
White Sox are the only teams
that made a visible profit in
1858. Milwaukee was the big
money-maker In the National
League.
The champion Dodgers drew
l 200. 900 folks at home but have
a 100000 farm system to write
off each season, plus paying
Branch Hickey. their former
president. 100000 a year for
stock which he sold in 1850 be-
fore joining the Pirates.
Club owners have sunk so
much money into bonus players
in the last few years that they've
left themselves wide open for
salary demands from established
stars. A big league player of
any merit can look his general
manager in the eye and say:
Hey, you laid out $4,000 for

a kid who may help you five
years from now . and that's
fine . but I'm doing the job
right away. Kick in"
The public, naturally, has
little concern over the tug-of-
war between a player and his
employer. All it wants is to be
sure that Berra and Red Schoen-
dienSt and Musial and Williams
are out there where they belong.
No excuses, please!
Hickey Obtains Funds.
Pittsburgh got 100000 cash
in the Danny O'Connell deal and
a reported $4,000 talong with
players, for Pitcher Murry Dick
son. This must mean that John
Galbreath. Pirates owner. has
told Hickey. his $150.000-a-year
general manager. that the days
of everything going out and
nothing coming in are over.
Branch has to furnish some of
the operating dough for "a, via
sales.
For the last two or three years
the White Sox have been first
to sign all their players. They
may have to relinquish that
honor this spring.
Minnie Minoso already has
told Frank Lane that he wants
to talk about his new pact. And
it wouldn't be surprising if Fer
ris Fain baked at cut-which
he'll get.
Indians Seek Fain, Rivera.
The Indians. who often have
expressed an interest in Fain.
are now conjuring up a mite of
a package deal which also would
include Jim Rivera. the White
Sox outfielder. So far Lane has
lent an ear and said: Yes,
go on!" But the proposition is
in the unfinished stage.
There is an urgency to Chi
cago's need for an about flag
bid this year. The Red Sox and
Tigers are getting noticeably bet
ter and may not be bypassed
as easily as they have been the
last couple of campaigns.
Moreover, while Lane has a
contract until 1860. Manager
Paul Richards deal runs out at
the end of "a, and he's got to
justify a continuance.
Not that he hasn't, even this
far, but business is business!
