NEW YORK, Jan. 13. - Cap
tain Peewee Reese. the great
Brooklyn shortstop. is not yet
ready to retire. But when he is,
the Dodgers have a replacement
waiting in the wings. He is Don
thinner from st. Paul.
Since Reese will be IS years
old next July, it is almost a
certainty that thinner, IL years
Peewee's junior, will be kept
around. And it would come as
no surprise If the Little Saint"
(he's 5-foot-9 and weighs 1859
has steady employment around
August and September.
thinner, a really fine hitter
with extraordinary power to all
fields for such a comparatively
small chap, has an added OBJ
stacle to overcome in addition
to the usual ones that confront
all rockies. Last July Z his skull
was fractured by pitch and he
was in a coma for five days,
undergoing surgery for the re-
moval of a blood clot.
His recovery is complete, but
the question whether he will
face pitchers with his previous
youthful determination natur-
ally arises. At the time of the
accident. thinner had played in
81 games and had hit 300. His
SO hits included IA doubles, four
triples and % homers, the latter
mark leading the league. He
had batted in SO runs and had
stolen IL bases. He did no more
playing last year.
Plenty Of Competition.
thinner will receive plenty of
competition for the leading
rookie candidate from the 18
other newcomers at the Dodgers
Vero Beach training camp. One
who may provide plenty of COM
petition is Edmundo (Sandy)
Amoros, the fleet little Cuban
outfielder who led the Interna-
tional League in hitting with
1853 for Montreal. He was also
top man with 1913 runs, 321 total
bases and 40 doubles. He drove
in 100 runs. The Dodgers have
a vacancy in leftfield - unless
Jackie Robinson plays there
again-and Amoros may be the
answer.
Nine new pitchers will work
for a spot on the varsity. Four
are graduates of Montreal, three
| from St. Paul and two from Fort
| Worth. The best record is owned
by Tom Lasorda. a crafty little
southpaw who had l7-8 mark
and a 2.81 earned run average
at Montreal. Righthanders Ed
Roebuck I5-14. and Hamp
Coleman t8-4 and Southpaw
Ken Lehman 13-9) are the
other ex-RoyalS.

that awards that number auto

NEW YORK. Jan. 13.-George-

folding in the stretch, which cost
it few games earlier in the sea-

The Hoyas, who came from be-
hind to nip Maryland in the late

night against New York Univer-

The first half of the twin bill
went to LaSalle. led by Tom
Cola. over Manhattan, 69-61.
COwIey Scores 21 Points.
The Hoyas presented a team
made up mostly of players from
the New York area last night,
and two of them, Bill Cowley, a
sophomore from Brooklyn, and
Warren Buehler, another Sopho-
more from Bayonne, N. j., did
most of the scoring. Cowley had

(8-5). Wojey. 81. is a fast baller
but is prone to wildness.. He
walked 122 in 1913 innings last
year. The best prospect of the
lot may be Mickens. The 23-
year-old righthander made a
strong impression in the Dodger
camp last spring while still in
the service. He had a 1.78 earned
run average in the Texas League
and gave up only one home run
in 126 innings. He throws an
effective sinker ball.
Catcher May Stick.
Charles Thompson, a bespec-
tacled catcher who batted .293
at Montreal, might stick. He
was named the best catcher
in the International League
for the second straight year.
KeY Staples. a .225-hitting
catcher at Fort Worth, is
not ready. Neither. it ap-
pears, are outfielders Gino
Simoli (.262 at st. PauD. Walt
Moryn (.306 at St. PauD, Vic
MaraSco (306 at Fort WORTH =,
Jim BaxeS (269 at Fort WORTH ,
and Ted Bartz (.28O at st. Paul.
Baxes slammed 80 homers and
drove in lot runs but is not a
consistent hitter. Bartz also plays
first base.
Don Hoax. a scrappy third
baseman from Montreal, might
find spot in the majors, if not
with the Dodgers. He is a hust-
ling, aggressive infielder with
sure hands. He batted only .264
last year but was improving
right along. He is currently one
of the leading hitters in the

Gene Smith Knockout
OF Ifhia in Last Round
CIimaxes Dull Fight

Gene Smiths last-minute
knockout over Jimmy Ithia of
New York in the main event
last night at Turner's Arena
furnishes little evidence that the
Washington featherweight has
regained the sharp punching
power that once made him a
big favorite here.
The knockout at 2:05 in the
10th round was convincing
enough. Smiths left hook
really chilled the New Yorker.
and Ithia had to be helped to
the dressing room after being
revived by the ringside ply
sician.
The Smith Of a year or more
ago would have caught up with
a fighter of Ithia's caliber long
before the last minute OF the
last round. Smith at 129 pounds
was the heaviest he ever has
been and he wasn't fast and
sharp. He was ahead on points
practically all the way, but they
were making a dull fight of
it and after the first few rounds
the customers were asking for
action.
The show, which drew turn
out Of 624 and a gross gate Of
$1,448.57 in the cold weather,
was a half hour late in start
ing because of the need to round
up a couple of substitutes to
replace two fighters injured in
an auto accident en- route from
Philadelphia. Involved in the
crash near Wilmington. Del.
were Lightweight Clyde Farmer
and Middleweight Young Jetro.
Reports were that Jetro was in
jured seriously enough to require
disqualification.
Until Smiths late knockout.
the best thing on the show was
a six-rounder in which Feather
weight Jimmy Cooper of Wash
lngtcn and Baby Beau Of New
York fought to a draw. They
mixed freely. seldom clinched
and banged away heartily all the
way.
Another six-rounder went to
Light heavyweight Tommy
Thompson Of Quantico over Sid
Barry Of the Bronx. Barry ran
out Of gas after giving Thomp-
son a good argument for two
rounds. Four FOUNDERS went to
Tommy Williams over the clown
ing Clay Roberts, and to Kid
Saucer over Flako Langford.

CIV, Forced 10 Rally
To Beat VMI, Shows
Strain Of Road Trips

George Washington's basket
ball team is back in town with
its winning string intact, but the
strain Of playing three games
in four days on the road appar-
emily has slowed down the Co
lonials.
They beat Virginia Military,
$780, last night at Lexington,
Va. for their 11th straight VIC
tory. but they had to put on a
second-half rally to win with
far less than their usual point
totals. A big help were the foul
shots awarded late in the game
when the Colonials were play
ing possession ball and the Key
diets were over-enthusiastic in
their attempts to take over.
The ColonialS will get a day
or two Of rest now before meet
ing Maryland Friday night at
College Park.
VMI Leads at HaIftime.
The Keydets had an upset in
the making last night as they
put on a second-period surge
that gave them a 1892 halftime
edge. The Colonials presented a
zone defense in the second half
however. and carried 39-37
lead into the final period where
they outscored their hosts, 27-l3
Actually George Washington's
victory was scored at the foul

tain and center, led his team

Numerous Fouls Called.
VMI's close guarding prevent
ed the Colonials from making
their usual high percentage OF
shots. but it also resulted in
much fouling. CIV was ahead by
1910 in the first period. al
though VMI had made more
field goals. In the second period
the Keydets. led by Bill Ralph
scored % points to GW's II to
take their 1892 halftime lead
That edge was enlarged to

the third period a layup by Joe
Holup put CIV ahead to stay,
