By The AMOciated PreM
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.ijf The
New York Yankees Thursday were
minus one infield and a mighty
important one. Young Billy Martin,
who was slated to fill in at both
second and third base, sustained
two broken bones in his right an
kle Wednesday sliding into second
for the benefit of a cameraman.
He probably won't be able to play
until May.
BURBANK, Calif. WV The St.
Louis Browns, who gained at least
partial revenge for the lone ex
hibition setback handed them by
the Chicago White Sox, retired to
their regular training quarters
Thursday for an intrasquad game.
The Browns, beaten by the White
Sox, 7-6, Tuesday, defeated the Sox
1-0 Wednesday in a rain-halted five
inning return match.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.l A
double fractureof the right leg has
sidelined Outfield-Third Baseman
Vern Benson of the St. Louis Car
dinals. Benson was injured Wednesday
as the Cards defeated the Boston
Red Sox, 7-6, in a 15-inning ex
hibition game at Sarasota, Fla.
Benson received his injury as he
slid into second on Javy Van Noy's
sacrifice in the final inning. Larry
Miggins went in to run for Benson
and scored the winning run on
Berb Gorman's single.
MESA, Ariz. I The Chicago
Cubs, fresh from a 10-2 victory
over the New York Giants, play
the National League pennant win
ners again Thursday in the third
came of their spring series. The
Giants hammered Die Cubs Mon
day, winning 15-3.
The one-sided victory Wednesday
at Phoenix, Giant training camp,
resulted from a 15-hit Cub barrage
off three New York pitchers. First
Baseman Dee Fondy's four singles
led the assault.
PASADENA, Falif. 11 Manager
Paul Richards of the Chicago White
Sox picked a lineup of mostly sec
ond stringers to meet the Pitts
burgh Pirates in an exhibition
game Thursday.
SAN BERNARDION, Calif.W
Manager Billy Meyer of the Pitts
burgh Pirates is a mighty unhappy
man all because of the weather.
Meyers claims his Pirates are in
poor condition because the training
season has been hindered by rain.
Wednesday night the Bucs made
a trip to San Diego and it was the
same story more rain. The Cleve
land Indians were leading 2-0 when
the game was called in the last of
the fourth.

enables a golfer to cut loose

the length of each shot, indi

them.
Turner's eighth graders had the

1'hey scored 377 points for a 3".7

their best showing of the year in a
post season game with the YMCA

Coach Pinkiiam regarded the
seventh graders as unexcelled in
"scrape and teamwork." He stated
that the four of 10 games were
lost because of lack of backboard
strength. The biggest boy on the
squad is Kernie Boughton at 5-4.
"But they were a fine bunch of
boys to work with and I enjoyed
every minute of it," he said.
