Bounding Basque to Keep
At Tennis 'Til Legs Fail
By OSCAR FRALET
(United PrM Sports Writer!
New York, March 14 U.
The "Bounding Basque" came
back today, still wielding a ten
nis racquet.
Jean Borotra, nearing 51 but
full of the boundless energy and
enthusiasm which made him a
tennis immortal, flew in from
Paris to compete in the National
Indoor championships.
Retire? Not the wiry little
man who with Henri Cochet and
Rene Lacoste formed the three
musketeers of French tennis.
"I'll play as long as my legs
will carry me," he smiled.
But I'll admit that they aren't
what they used to be and I
don't expect to go very far In
this tournament."
That's the way of the "Bound
ing Basque," always has been
and always will be. To him
tennis is a religion.
Always he was pleased as a
child when he won, and he did
more than his share as he and
his two sidekicks captured the
Davis cup for France the first
time in 1927. Over the years,
Jean won 60 French champion
ships, eight American titles and
three Australian
There was the time In Eu
rope when Mary Garden and
Bill Tilden were called on to
sing the Star Spangled Banner
at a ceremony. Borotra
sensed that neither of them
knew all the words. So he
edged over and drowned out
their uncertain mumbles, sing
ing our national anthem
letter-perfectly himself.
Still, there came a time when
the "Bounding Basque" was
doubted, despite his record In the
first world war when he served
four years as an artillery lieu
tenant and won the Croix de
Guerre and the Legion of Hon
or. That came during the sec
ond World War, when he ac
cepted a post as minister of
sports under the Vichy govern
ment. Borotra was condemned
then, but only for a while.
The bounding and everbattl
ing Basque, had hoped to help
his countrymen. But not for
long could he stand the Ger
man ruthlessness. He spoke
Incautiously of fleeing the free
French and wound up in a con
centration camp.
It was shortly after the late
fracas that Borotra returned
here again. He was thin then
and, for a man of his once in
exhaustible energy, listless and
lethargic. The scars were deep
est on his soul and they showed
plainly as he talked of the
poverty and despair in his native
France. Borotra was certain that
sports could help his people
along the road back.
Now he Is certain of it. His
step Is lighter and the old
exuberance shows again. At
50, Borotra looks more like
the "Bounding Basque" of old
than he did at 45.

Many Old Faces Pass from Spring Training Scene
West Palm Beach, Fla. A
number of familiar faces
missing from baseballs spring
training camps. It's the same
every year, this business of
youngsters replacing veterans.
It's not so noticeable at first
with one or two fellows missing
from this camp and maybe
half dozen from teams on Flori
da's west coast. But when you
begin to take stock of the ever
changing baseball situation, col
lectively you find an Imposing
list of name players missing.
Take the Athletics, In training
here under 87-year-old Connie
Mack who is starting his Golden
Jubilee year as manager of the
Philadelphians. Normally, the
Grand Old Man of Baseball
would make room for such sea
soned veterans as Augie Galan
and Taft Wright, but there
seems to be a limit to the num
ber of veterans a team should
carry.
Both Galan and Wright were
released during the winter. Both
probably have seen the end of
their big league playing careers
unless some club recalls them to
strengthen their bench. Galan,
at 37, will be remembered as a
popular outfielder who consist
ently hit 300 and played In
three world series, two with the
Cubs and one with the Dodgers.
He spent almost half of his life
in the majors 16 years to be
exact. This season he will play
with Oakland, Chuck Dressen's
Pacific coast league team.
Wright, 36, averaged .311 in
nine big league years. Three
years in the army shortened his
career. However, he's slated to
play with Louisville this season.
Whitey Kurowski, a veteran
of seven seasons with the St.
Louis Cardinals, is missing from
the St. Petersburg camp. This
spring Whitey, who played in
four world series, begins a
managerial career in the Class
B Piedmont league with the
Lynchburg, Va., Cardinals, a
St. Louis farm club.

Vero Beach, Fla., March 14
President Branch Rickey of
the Brooklyn Dodgers express
ed "apprehension" about his
ball clubs today.
After watching the 1949
National league pennant win
ners work out for 10 days
he lost the optimism which had
characterized his off - season
statements. During the winter
he even went so far as to pre
dict that the Dodgers not only
would repeat, but also would
win the world series.
But now he isn't so sure; he
isn't at all satisfied with what
he has seen.
"I can't put my finger on
it," he said, "but there is an
air of complacency around
this camp I do not like. May
be we have too many con
tented ball players.
"Remember it has been 1944
since any club in either league
has ever repeated in winning
a pennant.

pennant winner.
"I'm not saying our players
aren't hustling, because they
are. But they don't seem to
put out that little extra effort
which makes the difference
between winning and losing."
Rickey hasn't become bear
ish on the club he just is in
"a state of concern."
Among his other concerns,
he said, was Jackie Robinson's
weight and his off the diamond
commitments. The star negro
second baseman who won the
National league batting cham
pionship last year reported
12 pounds overweight.
"That's mighty important to
him because even a pound
overweight makes a lot of dif
ference to him," Rickey said
aa he recalled the slow start
Robinson got off to in 1948
when he reported overweight.
It's hard for Robby to take off
weight so he has a tough job
ahead of him."

former Senator cut adrift, but
by the Browns, is Stan Spence,
34. His best year was 1942 when
he hit .323 for the Senators. He
is slated for Los Angeles but has
threatened to quit rather than
play in the minors. Spence
would like to stay in the ma
jors until next June to become
a 10-year man and eligible for
the $100 a month pension upon
retirement.
A lot of fans will miss Hugh
Casey, one of the best relief
hurlers in National League his
tory. He helped Brooklyn carry
the Yankee to seven games in
the exciting 1947 world series,
winning two games himself. He
set a record by finishing six of
the seven games."
The greatest exodus of veter

sale shakeup in the Boston
Braves. Missing from their
Bradenton camp are Jim Rus

Barrett, 35; Clyde Shoun, 35,
and Elbie Fletcher. Heath had
13 years in the big show, his
best being 1941 when he drove
in 123 runs for Cleveland and
hit .340. Barrett, with 14 years
back of him, and Shoun are
