Racing Results Said Pilfered TALLAHASSEE, FIa March 30 -f;p)- Attorney General Richard Ervin said today he has almcet conclusive proof that Continental Press Service is stealing race re sults either from Associated Press or Triangle Publications wires or from an AP member newspaper. He said he assumes the AP is observing the racing commission regulation prohibiting transmis sion of race results until 20 min utes after the race is over. The regulation, put into effect Feb. 19, applies to all races except the last race of any day and a Sat urday feature race. The rule is in tended to hamper bookmakers in Setting the quick results they must ave to carry on their business of accepting illegal bets.

Last year he was the most optimistic manager in the Florida training camps. Today he is ultra conservative. Though blessed with three pitchers of the 300 inning, &0-game variety in War ren Spahn, Johnny Sain and Ver non Biokf ord, the Boston Braves pilot refuses to go overboard on his team this spring. At least ho isn't spilling the beans as to what he has up his sleeve, but you can bet the Braves are going to be real pennant con tenders. Four men make the Braves stronger. They are Mathew (Max) Surkont and Jim Wilson, a pair of veteran right hande rs; Short stop John Logan, up from Mil waukee, and a catcher named Ed ward St. Claire, whose baseball age is listed as 27 but who is at least 31.

Coach John Lewis expects to throw almost his entire squad into the fray before the hostilities are over today. The WU mentor has ticketed four hurlers for action, three of 'em southpaws. The lefties are Let-termen- Claude Nordhill and Bob White plus Bert Lund. The right hander who'll toss 'em up today is Mike Glenn, possessor of per haps the best curve ball on the squad. Lou Scrivens, converted to back stop from the pitching corps, will open behind the plate and other receivers who may see action are Jack Hande, soph from Silverton and Jim Gay, a Wood burn junior. The infield offers one of the main question marks. Three men are in the thick of the fight for the first base job. They are Bur nell Ambrose, a senior, and a pair of frosh, Alva Brown and Duane Shields. Cliff Girod, a steady field er and capable hitter, is entrench ed at second base; Millard Bates will be at short and Dave Perlman seems to have the third-sack job sewed up. The outfield seems one of the Bearcats' stronger points. John Markoskie, Dick Brouwer, Chuck Bowe and Ralph Onzuka, all good men with the stick, are the top garden candidates. The Bearcats launch collegiate competition next Wednesday as they travel to Eugene for a scrap with Oregon's Webfoots. year man in professional base ball. Pitcher Russ Christopher has signed for that price with the San Diego club of the Pacific Coast league, it was disclosed by the club today. Christopher, 33, is the former Philadelphia and Cleveland ma jor leaguer who was forced to quit the game in 1948 because of heart trouble. He has since had a heart oper ation and hopes someday for a comeback. In the meantime he wants to be close to baseball. , Salem Chapel, Forsyth county, receives mail through Walnut Grove and has a population of 75. Cooper. He arrived late last sea son from Sacramento where he won 18. With Boston bis record was 5-2 and his failure to cover first base cost him one of the setbacks, Around camp they say "If Sur kont can win 15, Wilson ought to do better." Wilson is the ex-Red Sox hurler who was knocked un conscious by a Hank Greenberg line drive in his first big l'igue inning five years ago. A delicate brain operation saved his life. Last season he won 24 games for Seattle, 15 of them in a row. "Spahn, Sain, Bickford, Sur kont and Wilson look like my five starters,' says Southworth. "Bob Hogue is down to 198 pounds and might be a tough relief pitcher again. Bob Chipman, on Milwau kee's list, is a possible southpaw relief man. "Dave Cole, Chet Nichols and Norman Roy, who disappointed last year, all look good.' Pitching is the least of South worth's worries. If Surkont and Wilson produce he may bet better pitching: than the Giants. easMi, Is Wine eavafed pa by Etstcs hmrilnf The Nation V: Top Comics: f,; mww Z,6)J C CHASE TMS J 1K ELOIIDa DICK TRACT LITTLE ANNE ROONCT ; u -till DEmCCr r do vau ft do.
