Robinson-AIston Feud
Appears Far From Over

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April S
R.-Jackie Robinson says he's
sorry he brought up his dissatis-
faction with his part-time role
with the Dodgers. but apparently
his feud with Manager Walt
Aston, is far from settled.
Robinson was miffed-and
said so to reporters-when he
rode the bench during an exhi-
bition Sunday. Yesterday Aston
countered with sharp criticism
of Jackie for taking his gripes
to newspapermen rather than to
the manager.
At the same time. Aston ex-
planned that the veteran star
was left on the bench Sunday
because of a misunderstanding.
only two days ago Jackie said
he had a sore arm, He was

and wanted to go to Brooklyn

10 punches starting and ending
with a left hook.
Fullmer rallied in the eighth

Over at st. Nicholas Arena,
Tommy jackson won a unani-

Bride of Trenton, N. j.
This was Jackso fifth
straight in his comeback attempt
since being stopped in two heats
by Nino Valdes last year. He
couldn't punch or defend him
self against Valdes. He still can't.
Tommy has a powder puff right
that reminds one of a girl throw
ing baseball. He doesn't punch
with it. He slaps.
"They must have been count
ing the slaps, and not the
punches" Mcbride complained
after the fight. HE didn't hurt
me at all and thought I won
it,"
So did a lot of ringsiders, in
Guiding the Associated Press,
which saw Mcbride landing the
solid blows and carrying most of
the action. To Tommy's credit,
he certainly is blessed with end
less stamina.
In fact, it appears that the
only reason the fight could have
gone his way was the fact that
Mcbride. the New Jersey heavy
weight champion, got arm-weary
from punching.
Each came out of the action
with a couple of small eye cuts.
This shows that Tommy can
take punch" said his manager,
Lippy Breitbard. Tommy was
about three pounds too heavy
But that Mcbride is one tough
customer"
jackson weighed 1879, Mcbride

Ekky, carrying lit pounds. had

with another driving perform
ance was "just up" to nip
Repentance in the Whirl Stakes

pounds.
Times were tragically differ
ent when Wander Pool was ac-
tive, for the depression was at
its height and racing was not
as widespread as 1t is today.
Mates victory was worth $l0,275
out Of a gross purse of $14,O50--
peanuts today. Only three
tracks were running in Novem-
Der, one in Cuba, and the racing
paper was filled with references
to hard times. New York smart
les referred to their town as

Boston Doge is competing in
more prosperous, if not happier
times and the experts seem to re-
gard the colts each succeeding
start as did the club owner.
Thus far, however, he has made
week ends decidedly pleasant for
ms supporters and if his luck
doesn't run out. or his OPPOSE
ton run too fast, he might set
some records for consecutive

Wander Pool came close. A
triumph on that fateful Thanks

given him one priced distinction.
AS 1t was he had to be content
with tying unbeaten Collins mark

great Man O. War and Native

Chances are, however, Wander
