'Berberet Opens Bid
To Gust Courtney
And Set Up Trade
BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star Staff Correspondent

ORLANDO. Fla. Feb. 28.-
Lou Berberet is the key to
whether the Senators will make
another deal as follow-up to
their mass maneuvering with
the Red Sox and Yankees. The
|stubby catcher, snagged from
the Yankees vast farm system
and glad of it. could put Clint

other club.

declares Berberet, slickest catch
Ter in the Southern Association
In 1854 and second best defen-
lsive receiver in the international
League last season.
II never had a chance with
the Yankees" Lou said. I'm
happy about the deal that sent
me to Washington. Isknow I'm
going to get q shot at a regular
job"
There's little skepticism here
about Berberet's ability to
handle the Senators young
pitchers. For several years he
has been rated one of the TOP
|catchers in the minors. It's his
hitting that's suspect, and Man.
lager Chuck Dresser attempted
to put him at ease yesterday
when Berberet participated in
his first drill.
Batting Style Fouled Up
II was hitting 800 with To-
ronto last season." Berberet told
Chuck. Then I hit a slump
changed my stance, my swing
everything. I got all fouled up
How did you hit when you

Put the bat back on youl

There's little attempt to shield

involved in a head-to-head bat
tie for the Senators No. / catch
ing job. The loser figures to be
shipped elsewhere in an attempt
to acquire a righthanded- hitting

Courtney hit lefthanded, which
doesn't blend with Dresser s
juggling pattern.

protect his interest. Contacted

here tonight. He anticipated no
salary difficulty with Calvin
Griffith, club president.
81 would have flown outa here
earlier" Courtney said. "but I
couldn't get a flight. Calvin and
II aren't far apart and I'm sure
we'll get together with no
trouble"
Roy Sievers, also unsigned. is
scheduled to report today or to-
morrow. The smuggling first
baseman wants $4,000. Cal has
offered $4,000, a $4,000 boost
over Roy's salary last year. The
only other unsigned player is In
fielder Tony Roig, who quit the
game at one point last year and
apparently is giving that decision
serious thought again.
Berberet finished as a .265 hit
ter with Toronto last season.
That's an unexciting average, but
the Senators hope he'll revert
ito earlier form and overcome an
admitted slowness afoot with
power.
Travel-Weary Now
Lou, a former Santa Clara
football guard, currently is a
bit travel-weary. He landed
back in the United States Feb
ruary 9 after playing winter
baseball in Cuba. He drove to
Orlando to confer with Griffith.
then drove to Long Beach, Calf.
Lou picked up his family there,
took a plane to Detroit, pur-
chased a new car and pointed it
in this direction.
Berberet could point to his
major league batting average
and demand to know who has
done better. He was up with
the Yankees for two brief ap-
Ipearances. The totals read 10
times at bat, four hits. a 400
average.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
BY OLAF HALVERSON

The satellite closest to Jupiter
is a very swiftly moving satellite
travelling completely around its
orbit in one day 18 hours and 2S
minutes. This means that it must
move at the tremendous speed of
800 miles a minute.
Our moon takes 2712 DAYS or
nearly month to travel around
the earth in an orbit of almost
the same size. That is because the
attractive force of our earth is
so much less than the attractive
force of Jupiter. Our moon does
not have to travel so fast in order
to keep from being pulled down
onto the earth
The period of rotation of the
second satellite of Jupiter is 8
days, Is hours and IA minutes.
The third moon makes the circuit
in days, 3 hours and 43 minutes
while the fourth moon makes it in
Is days, Is hours and 30 minutes.
In 1892 Professor Barnard dis
covered through the Lick tele-
scope a moon closer to Jupiter
than the four original ones. 1t is
only 80 miles in diameter.

Bill Before Congress Clears Bull
Walruses For Big Game Hunting
BY FRANK w. VAILLE

WASHINGTON, R-Big game
hunters would have a new target
If Congress approves a pending
bill to permit non-natives to GO
after Alaska's big bull walruses.
The mounted head, with so
pounds of ivory tusk extending as
much as 30 inches, would make a
handsome addition to any trophy
room.
Introduced by Delegate Bartlett,
the proposal cleared its initial
legislative hurdle Wednesday as
1t was approved by the House Ter
rltories subcommittee. 1t is also
backed by the Interior Depart
ment as means of improving the
native economy.
The big bulls, weighing up to
1000 pounds each, are found in
the summer as far south as Bris-
tol Bay but are generally in the
northern Boring Sea or the Arctic
Ocean. They are hunted on the
ice foes or in the water from skin
boats.
The bill would not open the way
for any wholesale slaughter. It
provides for the Secretary of the
Interior to keep hunting at a level
which would not endanger the use
of Walrus as native food
Individual hunters would be re-
stricted to one bull a year, and
Ralph Baker, assistant chief of the
Fish and Wildlife Services Alaska
fisheries branch, believes the
maximum kill by non-natives
would be not more than several
hundred year.
Hunters also would be required
to have native guide, thereby
the natives cash sup
ply. Hunting from airplanes or
helicopters would be prohibited.
Because the animals are polyg-
amous, the department does not
think that limited hunting of the
bulls would imperil the walrus
population, which it estimates at
about $4,000.
Another section of the bill
would authorize regulations to
permit the natives to export skins
of walruses killed for food. Bart
lett said a Portland, Ore, firm
Howard Supply Co.-now imports
skins from Greenland and agreed
to take all it can get as buffing
material to polish silver.

Eisenhower Wins
So Percent OF Vote
In Indiana Primary
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Democratic leaders have fired
new broadsides at the Republican
administrator as a cleanup of
returns showed President Eisen-
hover received SO per cent of the
total vote in Tuesdays Indiana
Primary.
In Los Angeles, Adlai Steven
son said Wednesday night the
Eisenhower administration is fail
ing to cope with social problems
and is ''devoting a smaller per
centage of our national income
for our social welfare than we
were in 1852 = or than we were
20 years ago"
Stevenson, campaigning for Cal
ifornia's SO votes at the Demo-
cratic presidential nominating
convention, advocated broadened
federal aid programs in the edu-
cation, medical care and old age
benefits fields.
At Oxnard, Calf, Sen. Estes
Kefauver, who is opposing Ste
venson in the June California
primary, told a crowd in the town
plaza that ''if the administration
continues in office the control of
our country is going to be more
and more in the hands of fewer
and fewer people"
"When it comes to giving some
thing away" Kefauver said, "the
present administration can show
agreement, but when
it comes to doing something for
the little people they just never
get around to it."
In a New York speech Wednes-
day night, former President Tru
man indicated in somewhat |
roundabout fashion, he believes
Rep oliean foreign policy chiefs
have been taken in" by Russias /
avowals of peaceful intentions.
Presenting the Four Freedoms |
Award to Gov. Averell Hartman
of New York, Truman recalled |
that Hartman, a former ambas-
sador to Russia, warned II years
ago the Soviets were planning to
undermine peace.
And, said Truman, Hartman
lis not taken in today, as so many
of our leaders seem to be, by the
smile on the face of the Kremlin."
Truman has declared himself
uncommitted to any candidate for
the Democratic presidential NOM
nation. But he had warm praise
for Hartman, who describes him
self as an "inactive" candidate.
