Harman is the English sparring partner who accompanied Cockell to this country. Murray stepped into the hassle after Cockell said he thought Mar ciano was' silly for wearing facial protective devices in training and the champion's manager Al Weill countered with a suggestion that the Englishman be forced to pro tect himself because of the fact the championship was involved. Cockell wore the headgear but no : mouthpiece as he went two rounds each with Bob Albright of Hollywood and Frank Buford of Oakland. He now has boxed a total of 163 rounds with the fight still four weeks away. MarciafflTboxed four rounds and impressed British newsmen in the audience at his training camp here.

(Special) No new arrivals were in the Salem camp Tuesday, rain cancelled the game with California, and to add to tke bad outlook, the weather forecast was more and heavier "dew" that might very well cancel the Sena tors doubleheader Wednesday. Manager Hugh Luby said that if weather permitted, a doubleheader Wednesday would send Salem against Wenatchee and the Napa All-Stars. But after looking to the skies and the forecast, it is doubt ful if the games will be played. Salem was to have played Califor nia at Berkeley Tuesday, Salem slammed 18 hits for a 20-10 win over Wenatchee in their last game. ' Luby Not Happy M Generalissimo Luby has been noticeably showing his I disappoint ment and disgust with the weather. It is now only a week: before the Senators hold their opening game with Eugene at Salem on April 26. It wiH be a borne opener at Waters Field. . - Until the weather does break, the Salem manager will not be sure of finding out just what po tential his bunch of yearlings have. "We still need one good 'stopper' before, our pitching staff will be ready to go, said Luby Tuesday. 'At present our mound staff is still weak." I ' ; Briggs Last Year Salem's "stopper", a pitcher who is a regular and can be depended on every four days to handle who ever his team is playing, was John ny Briggs last year. This year the young hurler is with -Sacramento and had a 2-0 record up to Tues day. Even if the needed pitcher is a veteran, Salem plans to go out and get him, Luby asserted. Only five vets are allowed under the new league for a single team. Top Golfers Wait Open at Virginia VIRGINIA BEACHj Va.

Alston, he still doesn t like to bat eighth, but he'll .be glad to hit before the pitcher if it means the Dodgers will win. 4 - The 33-year-old Brooklyn catch er said he thought his recent out burst about being placed eighth in the batting order was misunder stood in some quarters. He went on: "I don't like to bat eighth, make no mistake about that. But I want to make it clear that I never had any disagreement with Alston about 'it. If he wants me to hit eighth, 111 hit eighth. Wants Understanding "I've played for Alston at Nas hau, St. Paul and Brooklyn and he knows me , well enough to realize I wouldn't argue with him about where I bat. I hope the fans under stand that, too." The husky veteran, sparkplug of previous Brooklyn pennant win ners, said again that the hand he injured last year and had operated on last winter, was fine. "The batting averages ought to answer that question," he said. He has had nine hits in 26 times at bat, including three doubles, two home runs and seven runs batted in since the season opened a week ago. He's hitting .346.
