ALLIGATOR HUNTING BIG
BUSINESS IN FLORIDA

Tallahassee, Fla. (ANP) - If
you ever wondered about alligator
hunting, well it's big business in
Florida, where last week the State
Game and Fresh Fish commission
reported that professional hunters
last year trapped an estimated
1875 gators for a profit Of $343,-
sS7.
Largest kill was one IT feet long,
but the average length was III
feet. Average price paid for alli-
gator hides was $3.50 per foot,
which probably explains the high
cost of milady's alligator shoes,
handbags and other novelties.

Powers FieIdinq
Still In Lineup
BY Bin Brewer

Cleveland (ANP)-Vic Power,
the fielding genius of the Cleveland
Indians, was in the throes Of the
worst batting slump Of his career
last week, but Manager Joe Cor
don could i'll afford to remove him
from the lineup.
He is such a superb fielder that
he probably kept as many runners
from getting on the bases as he
left on the bases with his bat.
Even before Power stopped hit
ting Che went 81 times without a
hit), Casey Stengel was singing the
Puerto Rican's praises. After two
sterling plays in a Indians Yank-
ees game, Casey said he told the
New York Yankee batters not to
hit any balls in Powers direction.
Against the Washington Sena-
tors, he made a spectacular back
handed stop of Earl Battey's hot
grounder in the fourth inning and
turned it into a force play. He lat
ter made another baclShanded stop
and forced another runner at sec
ond. Then he gathered in two pop
flies, both difficult catches made
easy in Powers one-handed style.
These plays were vital in help
ing Jim Grant to, his fifth victory
of the season and his 18th over the
Senators in less than three years
in the majors.

ington Senators. American League
cellar dweElers for the past three
seasons. are not only threatening
to break out Of the hum-drlrm this
season but are enjoying one of
their most successful campaigns In
five years.
All this, it was almost unani-
mously agreed last week. has been
due to the excellent performance
Of ex-white sox catcher Earl Bat
tey behind and at the plate. Bat
tey, It was agreed, has perked up
the hitherto slow-moving. listiess
but hard-hitting Senators. He has
frightened the teams defense and
helped the pitchers considerably.
In fact no other authority than
Sherman LoIIar, the man whom
Battey backed up as understudy
during his tenure with the Pale
Hose, called Earl the best young
catcher In the AL. Said Lollar,
who Is the quiet type and who Is
not given to excessive praise:
''He is a natural. He was a ma
tural when / first saw him In
spring training in 1854.
Lollar explained: "A natural
catcher Is one who IL blessed with
a strong throwing arm. Battey has
always had q strong arm. A ma
tural catcher has good hands, big
hands. Nothing should get by him
and a natural catcher has the good
instinct on how to handle pitchers.
Battey has that, too.
Also, according to Lollar, Battey
doesn't catch in a pattern. He
changes the attack constantly and
thus keep the hitters guessing.
Lollar was also joined in his
praise Of Battey, who, strangely
enough, didn't see any action with
the Sox in the 80 World Series, by
Manager Al Lopez, and pitcher
Bob Shaw.
Lopez said Battey can throw
as well as any catcher in the big
leagues.
The praises came after Battey
caught IAN excellent game" as the
Mats edged the sox 2-1, swapping
a four-game winning streak for
the visitors, and extending their
own to five straight.
Battey was traded to Washing
ton in a recent deal which brought
first baseman Roy Sievers to the
Sox.

NorIolk, va, NANP)-AooreSSl
the Norfolk Sports Club here last
week, a college coach from Mary
land leveled what appeared to be
an unfair blast at wilt (The Stilt)
Chamberlain while virtually cold
shouldering other tan stars, in
Guiding pro star Elgin Baylor and
Oscar Robertson, the Big o" Of
college basketball.
He is Charlie EclCman, former
coach of the Fort Wayne Pistons
and a resident Of Maryland.
For some strange reason which
seemed unnecessary, Eckman lab
eled Chamberlain, pro basletbalPs
greatest scorer, an indiges-
table character " and rated
him no better than any other pro
player, despite the fact that Wilt
has broken every conceivable re-
cord in the National Basketball
Association in his rookie year.
He also rated Oscar Robertson
of Cincinnati behind Jerry West of
West Virginia university, although
the Big o" like wilt, was the top
college scorer for three years run
ming.
In the pro ranks, Eclman said
nothing about Elgin Baylor Of the
Minneapolis Lakers, the 1868 MIA
rookie of the year, nor Of the Bos-
ton Celtic's Bill Russell, the re-
bounding and defensive genius of
the MIA.
Said EclIman Of Chamberlain,
who quit basketball early this year
after complaining Of unfair treat
ment from players and officials
In the MIA:
"Wilt is one Of the most indiges-
table characters I ever met. He
let success go 10 his head He has
no greater ability than any other
guy. He simply has height.

He can't take a beating at TIL"
Eclman criticized Robertson
slightly in praising West in these
words:
West u "the greatest college
player in the country. He can play
defense, too. That IL something
Oscar Robertson can't do"
However, EclIman was virtually |
alone In his blast at Chamberlain. |
No other coach Of note seemed
anxious to join him in criticizing |
the former University Of Kansas
