medical report on him and 1t
was, to put 1t mildly, far from
encouraging. Christopher, said
the report, had very little time
left. Not time to pitch. Time
to live. Christopher suffered
from a congenita' heart all
ment; he was, quite literally,
a blue baby grown UP. The
report also said that pitching
would neither hasten nor de-
lay the day the heart finally
gave out.
So I visited Russ and asked
him one question, ! didn't ask
him how he felt. You had only
to look at him to see that he
felt lousy. / asked him, do
you want to play?"
II didn't come down here to
get a TAM" he said. I'm a
pitcher. I'd just as soon die
pitching as any other way"
SO he pitched for us in 194S,
and he was the best relief
pitcher in the American
League. Lou Boudreau would
bring him in only when we
needed a big out-and particu-
larry a double-play ball-be-
cause Russ would turn blue in
the face after a minimum of
physical exertion.
And without him we would
never have won the pennant.
Christopher Happy
1t never occurred to me to
worry about his physical condi-
ton. Nor, I'm certain, did 1t
occur to Russ. He was doing
what he did best and loved
most. He was pulling his
weight in a pennant drive. He
was living through the most
exciting time in his profess
sional career.
Christopher was able to
pitch only that one season. He
didn't live very long afterwards
either. But he did live long
enough to tell me more than
once that he wished the end
had come for him out on the
after he had delivered
his last pitch of the season.
A man with a weak heart, yes,
but the stoutest hearted
pitcher I have ever come
across.
The parallel between Chris
topher and Davis is obvious.
It's Ernie's life, and it should
be Ernie'S decision. No one has
the right to deprive him of
the chance to do what he most
wants to do, just so long as
the doctors agree that he is
quite able to do it. More parti-
cularly, nobody has the right
to deprive him Of that OPP
portunity out Of a dislike of
the unhealthy-or as a self
alibi for what might
have been a bad deal or a
bad season.

Proposed Rules Chances

The 1961-62 basketball season didn't 60 by with
out some suggested rules changes.
CALLING THE GAME TOO DULL too rough and
too damned up around the basket, Charley Eckman, a
former pro coach and now a college referee in North
Carolina, suggested some major changes.
Reduce the team to four players is his most radical
suggestion. He also thinks defensive as we'll as often
sive players should be restricted to three consecutive
seconds in the foul lane. He explains "ths would re-
duce the traffic under the basket and eliminate the
COON; the game would be limited to versatile players"
After their teams had lost to opponents using
showdown tactics, Coaches Adolph Rupp of Kentucky
and John Manning Of Duquense spoke in favor of a
3O-second shooting rule for colleges; this would re-
quire a team to take a shot within. 80 seconds after
gaining possession of the ball.
SAID uPP: "F THERE is a TREND for every
body to start slowing it down, legislation will be taken
to preserve the game. ] don't like it and | don't think
spectators like it, but we can coach it." Manning said:
Il feel the 30-second rule is inevitable"
Doug Mills, who coached the Illinois "Whiz Kids
back in the 1940s, said he would like to see the Big
Ten experiment with the three-point rule. Under this
rule, goals made Is feet or more from the basket
would count three points.
And there have been other suggestions-like the
perennial one of raising the baskets.

Leftover
Cage Notes
BY LOU FABRO
Times Sports Editor

Because we're in that Sin between" time be
tween baseball and basketball season - there's still
a lot of discussion about the past cage campaign. The
big topic, of course, is Ohio States stunning loss to
Cincinnati in the NCAA championship game.
The hottest question centers on Jerry Lucas in
iured knee. Would there have been a different ending
to the NCAA story had Lucas been in tiptop shop?
WITHOUT TAKING ANYTHING AWAY from the
powerful Cincinnati team and at the risk of being ac-
cused of offering an alibi, there's little doubt that
Lucas injury made a big difference. Without his injury
he would have scored and rebounded more. He also
would have been more effective defensively which
means big Paul Hogue wouldn't have stolen the scene
as he did.
Considering the total effect, the game would have
been quite close; we feel it would have been tipped in
Ohio States favor.
Looking at another "if', suppose UCLA had de-
feated Cincinnati in the semi-finals, what would have
been the outcome of a title game between Ohio State
even with an ailing Lucas and UCLA. Without
hesitating-and most observers would agree-the nod
would have gone to the Bucks.
WHILE THERE HAVE BEEN NJ NUMBER of
reasons offered for Ohio States NCAA defeat, we're
mildly surprised that no one has tried to pin the blame
on Jack Fullen, Ohio States embattled alumni associa-
ton secretary.
Looking back to our sports column of Jan. 5, we
said j. was quite likely that Ohio State and Cincinnati
would meet in the NCAA finals; however, we said
that Ohio State would win after tough struggle.
Another observation in that column: Wisconsin wasn't
to be taken lightly i.

DAYTON OUercdne Odds

Most sports observers may have been sWayed by
Dayton's past futile attempts at the MT crown, but the
Flyers generally were overlooked as a favorite for this
years title. Co-favored for the crown we're top-seeded
Bradley and st. Johns, with Loyola of Chicago as a
third choice. Dayton was unseeded.
COACH TOM BLAcKBURN's TALL FLYERS
fooled them all, however, by winning impressively
over Wichita and Houston and more impressively over
Loyola before defeating st. Johns, 1857, for the 1862
MT championship.
For Blackburn, it was a highly satisfying climax.
In January, he had been hung in effigy; early in
February, his team was blasted, 95-75 by Detroit; it
was Dayton's worst defeat in the I'D fieldhouse in IL
years. The defeat also was the last of the campaign.
Dayton won IL straight games to carry it to the title.
In winding up with a 246 record, Blackburn'S Is
year record at Dayton reads 321 victories and 121
losses for a .726 winning percentage. His only losing
season with his first. In the past IL seasons, his teams
have participated in 10 NITs and were runners-up no
less than five times

Dear Mr.. President:
Ihand you herewith draft of a bill to amend Sections
405 and 400 of Chapter 81. Title 20 of the Virgin Islands
Code, Relating to Maximum Rates for Motor Vehicles for
Hire in the Virgin Islands together with copy of a letter
from the Commissioner of Public Safety dated October
80. 1861 in regard to this matter.
AS pointed out in the request of the Commissioner
of Fuouc oalety, the present wording OF part Of Schedule
III of Section 405, Title 20 reading Airport Low COST"
has caused considerable confusion. In the context of the
Jaw as written it required a fare of so cents from town
to the Airport as well as from town follow Cost in the
Bourne Field area. However, under the same schedule
the fare from town to the Bourne Field beach was so
cents. It would appear that this discrepancy was more
inadvertence than by intention. The first section of the
proposed bill would clarity the situation by spelling out
the town to Airport fare as well as the Airport to Low
Cost fare.
The second section of the bill amends Section 4O6 of !
Title 20 which establishes a special committee in each
district of the Virgin Islands which shall meet annually
to submit recommendations as to taxi rates. The exist
ing provision is that the special committee meeting in
the month of April and submit the recommendation to
the Legislature not later than twenty days before the
adjournment of the Legislature. In view of the Organic
