POMPANO BEACH, Fla,
Mar. 3-Starting tomorrow
with the Senator'S first squad
game, and through the 26-game
exhibition schedule that gets
under way against Pittsburgh
March 10, Manager Mickey
Vernon and his coaches will be
counting the good pitches that
Chuck Cottier takes.
Cottier, the 25-year old Sec
ond baSeman, has a great pair
Of hands, the reputation of
being a fine glove man through
six years in the minors and
parts of three seasons in the
majors.
But except for part of a
season with Louisville in 1860,
Chuck'S batting average never
has been over .270. Last year
he hit .234 for the Senators
after being acquired in the deal
for Hal Woodeshick.
HE took too many pitches
too many called strikes" one
of the Senator's coaches said
81 don't believe he ever swung
at the first pitch"
81 know it," Cottier said as
he dressed after practice. But
I believe I cured myself of that
habit in winter ball in Mica
raugua this year." Clyde Nc

ing that apartments in Light
house Cove might take in water.
Ground swells from the ocean
were smashing on the beach
and reaching some oceanSide
homes. Most of the beach chairs
belonging to the motel either
were beaten to pieces or found
on the beach a half-mile to the
south.
Piersall was still sore and
debated skipping calisthentics,
but he took them at the last
minute. Jimmy relaxed in the
motel pool this afternoon,
chatting with Vernon, who was
lunching at poolside there with
his family.
1t was CLOUDY and a few de-
grees cooler today and a brisk
wind blowing toward home
plate prevented any home runs.
Nobody is going to hit one
out of here today" Schmidt
yelled as he donned the catch
ing equipment, and nobody did.
Bucky Harris watched the
workout, and received a fine
hand when introduced over the
P. A. system. Dale Long did
not show, but Vernon didn't
expect him. It's too tough to
drive from Boston in just two
days. The city finally had
the fence painted green, giving
the hitters one less excuse.

PuoIo Rosi Gets
Easy Decision
Over Alvarez

NEW YORK, March 3 (AP)
-Paolo Rosi, an Italian-born
lightweight now fighting out
of New York, earned a unani-
nous decision over Argentine
Manual Alvarez tonight in a
nationally televised 10-round
bout in Madison Square Garden.
Rosi weighed 1874, half
pound more than the light
punching Argentine.
There were no knockdowns,
although Alvarez fell over the
ropes in the third round after
being caught off balance by a
long right. Referee Jimmy Dew
lin ruled no Touchdown.
Alvarez suffered a slight cut
over the right eye in the first
round, but it did not trouble
him greatly.
The Argentine, primarily a
counter-puncher and boxer,
tried to slug with Rosi in the
eighth and ninth. and took a
heavy beating from Rosi's body
punching.
Referee Devlin scored it 7-3
for RoSi, judge Aidala Sal
and judge Bill Recht 7-2-1. The
APP had it 5-4-1 for RoSi.

moan a little because they have
to go six innings so early" Ver-
non said, "but I don't think ii
will hurt"
The Blue team, which will
have Jimmy Piersall in center
and johnson, Cottier and
Danny O'Connell as three
fourths of it's infield, will face
lefthanded pitching for four OF
the six innings. Carl Middle
dorf and Tom McAvoy will
pitch against them, plus the
righthanded Carl Bouldin.
Won't Miss SOuthpaws
Gene Woodling, Hinton. John
Schaive and some of the others
on the Gray team were de-
lighted to skip the southpaws
this early. They will face Jim
Hannah, Ray Ripplemeyer and
Joe Schaffernoth, all right
handlers.
Bob Schmidt and Pete Daley
will take over the catching
from Dalton Renfroe and Ken
Retzer after the first three in
nings. John Kennedy will fill
in one of the infield spots, but
Ron Stillwell is hobbling on an
axle injury and probably will
not play.

RICHMOND. Mar. 3.-Rod
Thorn, who walks as if his feet
were hurting, seldom bothered
with that liesurely pace here
tonight as he hustled West Vir-
ginia's Mountaineers to an So
10 pounding of Virginia Tech,
retaining the Southern Con-
ference championship after a
one-year stay at George
Washington.
The West Virginia ALL

his much wounded teammates

mated practically every facet
of the tournament final in a
tremendous display.
Rod claimed a game-high 16
rebounds, contributed five as
SistS and many steals and saves
as he atoned for last years
dismal showing when he was
held scoreless in a semifinal
loss to William & Mary. A rec
ord crowd of 5,786 shook Rich
mond Arena with a thunderous
ovation when Thorn walked to
center-court afterward for his
award as a member of the
champion team.
The windup game was never
in doubt after the first Is min
utes as the Mountaineers moved
out to a 1914 advantage.
Although the margin never
again reached "a points, the
closest Tech came was IL with
about nine minutes remaining,
and then West Virginia ran it
up to % just before the finish.
Ultimately, Techs downfall
was caused by poor shooting in
the first half, five goals for 20
shots against the Mountain

man defense.
The Gobblers had only ID

wire, a length and a quarter
behind another long shot, Sum-
rise County. But after LAG of
running the might and one
eighth race and II minutes of
film scrutiny in the projection
room, Hialeah's stewards took
down Sunrise County's number,
placed him third, and awarded
the $136,200 classic to Prego.
Sunrise County, ridden by
Herbie Hinojosa, stole a four
length lead after three-quart-
ers of a mile and apparently
was headed for victory when,
just inside the eighth pole, he
ran out almost to the grand
stand rail. The red inquiry"
sign flashed Immediately and,
after long elaboration, it was
ruled that Sunrise County had
interferred with the favored
Ridan, ridden by Ismael Va
lenzuela who was third under
the wire but placed second.
Fans Boo Mildly
Thus the official order of
finish was Prego, owned by
Robert Lehman of New York:
Ridan, Sunrise County and
PuSS n Boots. A crowd of 3d.
443 booed mildly when the
numbers were changed on the
board because few backed the
Lehman colt, who was winning
the first stakes race of his ca
reer, embracing 10 starts.
The victory was worth $685.
$50 to Lehman. Prego bereto-
fore had earned only $12,755.
Prego paid a whopping $3.50
to win, 1910 to place and $3.50
to show. Ridan, who went off
at $1.70 to 81, although he
never has won beyond six fur
longs. returned 1910 and $3.50.
Sunrise County paid $3.50.
With about three-sixteenths
of a mile to go, Sunrise Coun-
ty began bearing out sharply
across the track, blocking Ri
dams path toward the finish,
and Ridan had nothing to do
but go along with him. Just
inside Of the final eighth of a
mile, Valenzuela, riding in place
of the suspended Bill Hartack,
took up the reins a bit and
pulled Ridan inside of Sunrise
County as they stormed on to-
ward the wire.

moned Hinojosa to view the

quiry, the jockey said his horse
apparently was sore.
