I Blanche Wootton at silver
Spring.
We've seen Miss Wootton call
a hit or miss with astonishing
consistency before the ball left
the bolwer's hand, and naming
which side of the stick the ball
would pass. Invariably the fault
was in the footwork.
At the moment, however, we
have in mind Duckpinner Hugh
Davis of Gaithersburg, Md.
Last season Davis league aver
age was 116. A right-hander, he
rolled a cross-alley ball with
considerable speed and slight
hook. The No. 10 pin Tin the
right-hand corner), and even the
No. 6, which is next to it, gave
him fits. To hit either he found
it necessary to shoot from the
left side of the lane, because of
a popularity in grip. This pre-
vented him from employing a
slight twist of the wrist or pres
sure by finger to straighten out
the curve and keep the ball bear
ing to the right.
! Incidentally, he rarely made a
strike.

Get World Approval
BY the Associoted Press

LONDON, Feb. miller Wes
Santee, shotputter Parry
O'Brien and two relay teams
gave the United States four new
world record-holders in track
and field today in the list of
recognized marks issued by the
International Amateur Athletic
Federation.
Only Russia matched the
American achievement, while
single top performances went to
athletes from Denmark. Ger
many, Norway and Hungary.
O'Brien and Vladimir Kuc,
Russian runner, each figured
three times in the record list.
O'Brien shattered the shotput
mark three times at Los Angeles
last year, his best effort being
go feet 10 inches on June IL.
Santee was listed for his 1900
meters at Compton, Calf, June
4, when he covered the distance
in 3:42.8 while running a 4:00.6
mile.
Gunnar Nielsen of Denmark
received recognition for his 1:48.6
time in the 880-yard run at
Copenhagen September 80, tying
the record set by. Americas MAJ
Whitfield.
Other United States record
breakers were the University OF
Texas 440-yard relay team
which registered 40.5 seconds at
Los Angeles May 20, and Ford
hams 2-mile relay team. which
did 1918 at Los Angeles May 81

During the summer Davis ex-
perimented-under the guidance
of Charley Wade, who runs the
Rockville Bowling Center and,
by the way, does it in a model
manner.
Davis moved to the center of
the runway. He picked spot in
the center of the lane on which
to drop each ball, but pointed
his left foot directly at the OBJ
ject pin. Eye and foot were syn
chronized. Otherwise, there was
no change in form.
He discovered his ball to be
equally effective in both pockets.
If the pins weren't breaking sat-
isfactorily with hits in the right
hand pocket, he'd shift to the
left.
The dearth of strikes gave
way to an uncommon number.
The No. 10 stick ceased to be
a bugaboo.
X 4
Davis began this season a new
man, in a bowling sense. His
current average in one league
at Rockville is 127, in another
125. Thus his general average
is 10 points higher than last
seasons, and he's doing better
than a strike a game, which is
high rate.
But the indications are that
he will improve. For example,
he shot ASS last week in the
Rockville 545 Commercial League
and followed it up with a five
game score of 703 for scratch
honors in the Rockville Handi-
cap. Combining the two per-
formances. his average was
144-6.
Davis would be a priced re-
cruit in the District Major
League, but he's not available
because of travel time. A meat
cutter, he finishes a 10-hour day
at $50.

Spiders Take Lead,
But CIV Games Will
Settle Southern Race
By the Asseeia,ed Press

The Southern Conference has
a new basketball leader today
University of Richmond - but
that's only temporary. Nothing
will be concrete in the standings
until after Richmond plays at
George Washington February II
and CIV plays at West Virginia
February 10.
The top four teams now are
Richmond. I'll: West Virginia,
6-1, and George Washington and
Davidson, 81. Davidson. routed
101-51 by Wake Forest last night,
is in the top four only because
of its soft conference schedule.
Richmond, which had lost.
1896, to West Virginia in Nor
gantown, handled the Noun
taineers with ridiculous ease in
a 100-67 victory before a stand
ing-room-only crowd of 5000
last night in Richmond.
The Spiders hit on As per cent
of their shots and shortly after
the half had a 1928 lead. 1t
was at this point that Hot-Rod
Hundley. West Virginia's sopho-
more court wizard, was taken
out Of the game. He was prac-
tically ineffective due to the
guarding of little Warren Mills
Hundley had seven points at
the time and did not return
The Mountaineers hit only %
per cent of their shots.
George Washington now is
favored to finish the season on
top and take the flrst-seeded
berth into the March tourna-
ment in Richmond. The Colo
malls league defeat was 1851
by Richmond, but it came after
CIV had beaten the Spiders 1s
straight times.

my wager in the Caliente Future
Book on the Santa Anita Handi-
cap :" You may bet on any
one of 101 nominees to finish
anywhere from first to fourth
It is presumed, of course, that
all winning wagers will be paid
off, via United States mail.
How. one wonders, or why is
it legal to send money through
the mail to Mexico to bet on a
horse race. but illegal to risk
a few bucks on something like
the Irish Sweepstakes? Or, for
that matter, why wouldn't it be
okay to mail deuce to Charles
Town for next weeks opening
day program?
Well, the answer was simple
enough for the Post Offices le-
gal department. Mr.. William
O'Brien, one of the departments
solicitors, informed US that an
old court ruling declared there
is some element of skill in pick
ing the winner of a race like
the Santa Anita, and that a Fed
eral judge held 1t was within a
mans rights to send wager
through the mail.
On the other hand, the Irish
Sweepstakes are decided by
chance. the haphazard selection

sweepstakes, therefore, are an
undoubted lottery, and you know
what awful things lotteries are.

Handicapping is a skill to a
degree, but "abSent-minded own
ers or trainers sometimes sub
stitute kill for skill when a long
shot romps home in front. Ac-
cording to law, the judge who
handed down the decision per-
mltting Winter-book wagering by
mail must have been correct, but
it strikes this department as
being a bit on the nonsensical
side.
Why not. then, permit a fu-
ture book on the Kentucky
Derby, the PreakneSs or any
duly scheduled stakes race for
which the field is nominated
months, even years, in advance?
Does a Louisville or Baltimore
postmark make it illegal? Or
does Tijuana cancellation
make it legal? Why tax pari-
mutuel wagering at tracks in

Frank Baker heard the news at
his farm in Trappe, Md, a town
with a population of about 800.
He said he was thrilled but not
exactly surprised"
The 68-year-old former third
baseman with the Athletics and
Yankees had an apt comment:
Il heard a fellow say once
he'd rather have>a rosebud when
he was alive than a whole rose
garden after he was gone. It
looks like they've thrown the
roses my way while I'm still

The homers which earned him
his nickname in the 1911 series
came after he had led the Amer
ican League with nine homers
that year. He was to lead again
with 10 in 1912. IL in 1918 and
tie Sam Crawford at eight in
1914. That was in the day Of

SO Homers in Is Years.
In his entire career. stretching
from 1908 through 1922, Baker
hit only SO home runs. yet he
was one of the first of the fence
busters. His lifetime batting
average was 308 and his record
shows six World Series CPhila-
delphla 1910-11-l3-l4 and New
York 1921-22l. He was the third
baseman on the famous 100000
infield of Stuffy McInnis, Eddie
Collins. Jack Barry and Baker.
Schalk. a mite of an athlete
at 5-foot-7 and l55 pounds, was
one of the first little men to
catch 100 games year after year.
His mark of ISL games in 1920
was a record for years. =
Although his lifetime average
was .253, he was known as a
great man at advancing a run
ner from first to third and a
fine bunter. He caught for the
White Sox from 1912 through
1928. managing the club the last
two years and also was a CATCH
er-coach with the Giants in
1929.
After he finished his active
career with the Giants he
coached the Cubs and managed
in the minors. He played in
two World Series with the White
Sox in 1917 and 1919.

all such exclusive arrangements
and to sever all interlocking
financial interests among the
defendants which contribute to
a continuation of their mo-
nopoly."
Last year the 10 world cham
pionship fights in the United
States were promoted either
wholly by the IBC or by that
organization in partnership with
promoters in other cities. The
Government contends that since
1949, when Norris and Wirtz
moved into the boxing picture,
only two of the 81 championship
fights held in this country were
promoted by groups other than
the IBC.
The IBC currently has exclu-
sive contracts with six of the
eight worlds champions calling
for title defenses under its pro-
motion. But the IBC says the
champions are permitted to fight
for other promoters in non-title
fights.
Joe Louis Involved.
Even Joe Louis, former heavy
weight champion, is involved.
The Government alleges he was
to resign his championship in
exchange for the exclusive rights
to the services of four leading
contenders and then give, these
rights to the IBC.
Charles Johnston. president of
the International Boxing Guild
and manager of Archie Moore,
Interchangeable ch a mr. on,
and Sandy Saddler. the feather
weight champion. came to the
defense of Norris.
II see no sign of monopoly
in the IBC's conduct of boxing, T."
he said. Our guild which in
cludes most Of the managers of
main-event fighters in the
United States) has had its fights
with the IBC over the purses
fighters will get for televised
fights, but the IBC never has
broken any agreements with us
nor used any unfair pressure. /"
Norris and Wirtz, partners in
many operations. got into box
ing in 1949 when they joined
with Louis to form the IBC. Louis
then retired and the club tied
up the four leading contenders
and emerged with Ezzard Charles
as champion.
Two months later, they bought
out the ailing Mike Jacobs and
the Twentieth Century Sporting
Club. Two weeks after that, they
disposed of their last major
competition by buying up the
Tournament of Ch mpion S,
which had exclusive rights to
the then middleweight cham
pion, Marcel Cerdan.
Boxing Situation Confused.
The high courts action left
all boxing in a state of con-
fusion, with no one certain what
would happen next. Some of the
possibilities were:
Establishment of a National
Boxing Commission VIRTUALLY all
regulation at present is at the
State leveD.
A full-scale congressional in
vestigation to try to uncover
evidence Of racketeering in the
fight game.
The chances of a decision be-
fore fall of this year are slim
If the case is brought to trial
by July /. it probably would run
a month with the Federal judge

two weeks to six months.
