CROWDS, BETTING OFF AT TROPICAL
TOP Horses on Hand
For HioIeoh Opening

MIAMI, Jan. IT (AP).-
The horses moved to plush
Hialeah Park today for 40 days
of what is expected to be some
of the finest winter racing this
State ever had.
A majority of the leading
thoroughbreds in the country
will compete in the rich pro-
grams which offer a record
$605, 900 in stakes money and
purses exceeding So million.
An opening day crowd of 10000
was expected.
The $25,0O0-added Royal
Poinciana Handicap, opening
day feature at 6 furlongs, at
tracted Is probable starters
headed by Leonard P. Sasso's
Globemaster and including
Yorky, Merry Ruler, Gyro, Glass
House, Editorialist, Winonly
Gordon Knot, Wingate, Ur
Scope, Gus and others.
AS a special opening day
feature, Hialeah will parade 6
group of champion thorough
breds now on the grounds, in
Guiding Garry Back, Crimson
Satan, Sherlock and five others
who won at least one $100,00C
race in 1861.
Hialeah, with a 1870 pm
post time, will not put in al

ONLY THE YOUNG AND NAIVE will
read any portent in the headline "Sena-
tors, Piersall Far Apart for 49," Both par
ties are milking this one for all it's worth.
They are about $50 miles apart, or what
ever the precise distance between D. C.
Stadium and Minneapolis, where Piersall is
speechmaking.
Come April 9, when the Senators open
with the Detroit Tigers, you can make
book that Piersall will be in centerfeld. To
sign the highest-salaried player in Wash
ington history as early as mid-January
would be flagrant violation Of baseball's
principle of artful suspense.
The Senators front office has perfect
foil in PierSall who isn't above hamming it
up. At the press luncheon for Jim the other
day, Piersal went into his dance with
alacrity. Somebody asked him when he
thought he would report to training camp
at Pompano Beach.

infielders," Jim said, breezily. THAT is, if

Alta boy, Jim! Keep the customers
holding their breath!
SAIL is paid $4,000 or 900 he will be
doing very we'll for fellow who in 10years
batted 800 or better only once. That was
last season for the Indians, who, nonethe-
less, found him not quite Indispensable He
has hit as low as 237 for season.
I'm hitting differently now than from
the way used to hit" Jim explained. 'Im
hitting straight away and not trying to kill
the ball. Also never made more big plays
in the field than last season"
Keep talking, Jim.
"At Cleveland they said they didn't
want me on the ball club. guess they did
not, but notice they didn't exactly give me
away" And the Indians didn't give him
away, either because Piersall cost the
Washington club the earned-run pitching
champ Dick Donovan, plus Gene Green,
Jim Mahoney and cash.
Il should have signed him before he
attended that banquet in Baltimore" Ed
Doherty mourned with twinkle in his eye.
"They introduced him as the best buy in
sports and the next day couldn't sign
him"
And you're doing pretty good, too, Ed.
NOT MANY BALLPLAYERS ever have
remained unsigned until after the open

WlM LOSE OR DRAW
How to Keep the Customers in Suspense
By FRANCIS STANN

Edd Roush. Obviously it didn't lengthen
RouShs career because he had been 1924
hitter for the New York Giants in 1929, the
season before he reached his peak of petu-
lance.
The Giants traded Edd to the Cincin-
natl Reds, but Roush didn't like the money
deal and sat out the whole 80 season. He
came back in 81 and played with the Reds
but that was great ballplayer's final ef-
fort. After hitting 271 he retired for keeps
Funny thing about Of Edd. In his youth
he never set store by reporting to spring
training. He invariably showed up late, if
at all. He was the bane of managers, great
as he was.
1t wasn't until after he quit baseball
for living that RouSh became training
camp addict Spring after spring-and you
can bet that will include this one-Edd
will turn up at some camp in Florida.
Usually it's Cincinnati's He suits up as
dutifully as rookie, wearing 30-year-old
uniform and a little bitty glove, like
motorman's. He's 58 now, plus.
LESS PERSISTENT HOLDOUTS than
Roush have reacted differently. Some play
ers, like Ty Cobb, required only few days
before the season to get in shape. Others
apparently need all the training they can
get. Goose Goslin, first of WashingtonS
good modern home-run hitters, was a ter
rible spring hitter.
jim Lemon held out for longer spell
than was good for him last spring. He
argued salary with Cal Griffith of the
Twins, refused to report on time, and when
he finally got in line Jim discovered that
he'd lost his ability to pull the ball. When
Lemon isn't pulling, he isn't much threat
He had rough season with Minnesota and
now is on the block.
At Piersall'S luncheon, Mickey Vernon
was asked if he had ever held out. The
question was intended to be facetiouS, in
Difference to Mickey'S tractable reputation.
Surprisingly, Mickey replied, "Once. In my
second training camp with the Senators, 1
held out until after mid-March"
The slick first baseman, who was to
play 10 years in the majors and win two
American League batting titles, rejected
his original 1941 contract. Il wanted to get
married" Mickey explains now, land did
not think we'd be able to swing it on the
salary that Clark Griffith offered"
Mickey sure 1Oas hard to please In his
younger days. The contract called for all of

"but at times we looked very
good"
While winning the Big Three
title has little trade-in value,
the Terps did satisfy their
rooters among the $500 at Cole
Fieldhouse and come closer to
500 with a 6-7 overall mark.
CIV is now So, but picks up
a potential starter, 6-foot-3

feated freshman team to drool

The Colonial frosh, once 13

clipped Maryland's frosh, $3.50

Latest West Victory Points
Switch in NBA Power

ST. LOUIS, Jan. II tAP).-
The West. which holds an edge
in top talent with the likes of
Oscar Robertson, Elgin Baylor
and Jerry West, and with youth
on its side, soon may catch the
East in the National Basketball
Association All-Star game
series.
That's the opinion Of Fred
Schaus of Los Angeles, who
coached the West in it's con-
vincing 150-130 victory over the
veteran East stars in the 18th
annual game before 1912 here
last night. The East still leads
the series, Us.
Understand, I'm talking
about individuals, not teams"
Schaus said. "You have to con-
cede the Boston Celtics still are
the best team in basketball"
Bob Petit, the eight-year
veteran of the st. Louis Hawks
who set an All-Star record with
27 rebounds, won the games
most valuable player trophy
Wilt Chamberlain, the 7-foot-1
Philadelphia who holds a 49-
point season scoring average
set an NBA All-Star scoring
record with 42 points.
Yet most observers thought
the cat-like Robertson was the
difference with his smooth
play making and IL point

the West out of reach.

Boston's Red Auerbach,
coaching the East for the sixth
straight year, thought Cincin-
nati's Jack Twyman really
killed us" with nine quick
third-quarter points.
The West had conceded a
rebounding edge to the East,
but despite Chamberlain and
Russell, the West had a $3.50
bulge. New York's Richie
Guerin was the No. 2 East
scorer with % points.
Schaus said Robertson and
West formed a wonderful back
line and that first five looked
as if it had been playing to-

Less Fanfare
Due PiersaII
On Next Trip
By MERRELL WHITTLESEY
Star Staff Writer

BY MERRELL WHITTLESEY
Star staff Writer
On the same day that Yogi
Berra signed with the Yankees
for $4,000 and Whitley Ford
for $4,000, Jim Piersall asked
for more than that from the
Senators-but didn't get it.
The record books show that
Piersall falls a trifle short of
Berra and Ford in accomplish
ments, but Jim is shooting high
in dealing with his third major
league team, and remains un-
signed.
Piersall and Ed Doherty.
general manager of the Sena-
tors, will resume their negotia-
tions in a few days, and prob
ably with less fanfare.
Missed First Date
Piersall had to be in this
area Monday for a banquet in
Baltimore, and the Senators
scheduled a press luncheon at
The Hotel Statler, obviously to
announce his signing.
But Doherty was snowbound
in Chicago, and they didn't
get together until yesterday.
Piersall had said he would
be in Doherty's office at $3.50
yesterday morning, but it was
almost 10 o'clock before he ar
rived. He said it took 40 min
utes for his car to be delivered
at a hotel in Baltimore.
When Jim walked into the
Senators offices in Griffith
Stadium he was handed a dozen
or more phone numbers to call
about buying a house. He was
told a television announcer had
said the night before that Pier
sail was house hunting.
Asks for $4,000
"I don't want to buy a house
why don't those guys ever get
anything straight?" he said
Everybody thinks I'm John r
Rockefeller. Where's Doherty?'
he asked.
With that he headed fol-
Doherty's office, apparently
thinking Doherty was Rookie
feller.
Somebody said Piersall was
asking for 100000 and Doherty
was offering a slight raise over
Piersall's estimated salary OF
$4,000 with Cleveland last
year.
President Pete Quesada is out
OF town until tomorrow. Que
sada is a Piersall fan, but prob
ably not to the extent of a
100000 salary.
Piersall and Doherty talked

'Ai|ing Terp Cagers Given
Shot in Arm by Stasiu|atis
BY STEVE GUBACK
Star staff Writer

Bill Stasiulatis is turning out
to be just what the doctor Or
dered for Maryland, which is
bound to make Coach Bud Mil
likan feel a bit better today
not to mention Bob Eicher, one
of StaSiulatis' old roommates.
Instead of sending a get-well
card to his hospitalized team
mate, Stasiulatis scored 20
points last night, just two shy
of his career high, as he helped
the Terps wrap up their third
straight mythical Big Three
title with a breezy 81-67 victory
over George Washington.
Eicher. recovering from a
slight brain conclusion, un-
doubtedly got the message.
They had a special telephone
along press row to keep Eicher
informed Of the games prog
ress, and the Terps quickly set
his mind at ease, rushing off
to a 14-point halftime lead and
coasting the rest Of the way.
The Terps did q good job re-
bounding, shooting (49.2 per
cent?, and filling in. Paul
Jelus took over Eicher's defen-
sive responsibility and StaSiu-
latis took over his place in the
lineup again - with Eicher's
blessing.
Makes the Most Of 1t
I'm giving you your chance"
Eicher wisecracked several days
ago. And so far Stasiulatis is
making the most Of it.
In a part-time role against
Georgetown, Stasiulatis scored
10 points on a 5-for-5 shooting
job, then lifted 1t to a team
high 10 in Saturdays loss to
Duke. Last night, Stasiulatis
registered his 20 with 8-for-12
shooting and jammed a doz-
en- of his points into the second
half to spoil any Colonial come
back ambitions.
"I'm getting my chance to
play and I intend to do better"
said Stasiulatis, who had been
a first-stringer at the seasons
start but soon fell from grace.
Il guess I was too lackadaisical
before" he added.
Earns Every Point
The cutting the Colonials
took was far from a one-man
job. Bruce Kelleher, in another
of his dazzling all-around per-
formances, matched Stasiulatis'
20-point total and set up an
other half dozen baskets with
deft passes. Jerry Greenspan
added II points and pulled
down 13 rebounds. And Jelus
