Fain's Bad Knee
Worries Tigers
SARASOTA, Fla. (AP> Al
though he insists everything is
Just fine, first baseman Ferris
Fain continues to hobble through
the Detroit Tigers' exhibition
games.
And Manager Bucky Harris
says: ‘‘The way he's going now,
he couldn't outrun me.”
Fain's right knee—injured last
season and aggravated during
the winter—has been the big
question mark in the Tigers’
training camp this season.
A two-time American League
batting champion, Fain has
shown little ability with the bat
this spring. He has collected six
hits in 27 at bats for a .222 bat
ting average. Moreover, he has
batted in only one run.
Fain refuses to discuss the in
jury—incurred last June when he
slid into catcher Sammy White
of the Boston Red Sox. When
asked about his knee. Fain
quickly changes the subject.
If Fain can’t hold down first
base this season, the Tigers will
have to call on either Wayne
Belardi, a spotty .236 hitter last
season, or veteran Jack Phillips,
who played third base for Hol
lywood in the Pacific Coast
League last year.

Rematch Slated
If Rocky Loses
CHICAGO (API- If heavy
weight champion Rocky Marci
ano's tender nose should cause
him to lose to England's Don
Cockell, The Rock will try to re
gain his title.
Marciano, who defends his
crown against Cockell at San
Francisco May 16, made a short
stopover in Chicago Wednesday
while en route to the West Coast
city to begin training for the
plump English challenger.
"I feel my nose," split open
by Ezzard Charles in his last
defense, “is healing fine,’’ said
Marciano.
“However, if it should be hurt
against Cockell to the extent of
the bout being stopped, I have a
rematch in the contract,” said
Rocky.
"It's hard to say what may, or
; may not happen in my San Fran
!• cisco fight,” he continued. “But
if my nose should be hurt seri
’ ously and the fight is stopped I
I intend to get back my title un
less injury makes it absolutely
impossible.”
The contract has a 90-day
1 clause for a rematch during
which time a triumphant Cockell
; could not defend the title against
anybody else, according to Mar
! ciano's manager, A1 Weill.
