spring training
Baseball players tend to pile
on pounds during the winter
when they switch from a game
day to a fireside-and-slippers
routine. So weight naturally is
big topic as the training camps
open.
Stanley levied a $2-a-pound
weight fine against his St Louis
Cardinals. When the Red Bird
pitchers and catchers showed up
t St. Petersburg, Fla, yesterday,
Cliff Chambers had to dig up
$13.

The Dodgers, who

twitched their official onenine
in their first regular drill today
although some of the players
have been around for a couple
of weeks.
Clem Labine, almost a dead
loss because of arm trouble last
year, threw fast and hard yes
terday and said bis arm felt
fine. Ralph Branca, another 19S2
sore - arm casualty, reported
ready for full-scale work.
The news wasn't so pleasant
at the West Palm' Beach camp
of the Philadelphia Athletic.
After only one workout pitch
er Harry Byrd, last year's Am

Bobby Shants, who won the
American league'a most valuable
collegian to score 1,000 points,
averaging 28.4 per game for
37 games. This season the
NCAA ruled Seattle a major
college because of its schedule.
Selvy, who got into the tight
est race in statistical history
only in the last couple of weeks,
had 27.9, Bee 27.1 and Dukes
27.0 in games through Tuesday
night. The fifth man, Bob Hou-
bregs of Washington, seems out
of it with 25.6. O'Brien's lead is
now a substantial one because
all the contenders have only a
few regular games to play, and
as they got more games on their
record, it takes a bigger and big
ger night to raise the average.
However, tournament games
count in the statistics and
Dukes is already In the Na
tional Invitation tournament
O'Brien will play In that or
the NCAA. Selvy has the
Southern Conference cham
pionship tourney coming up
and Beck could be In the
CAA if Pennsylvania wins
the Ivy League champion.
In other departments the lead
ers include Dukes as sunner-up
in rebounding with 23.0.
O'Eilen's twin brother Eddie
ranks second in floor shooting
with 57.4 per cent.
In scoring 51 in a single game,
Johnny O'Brien turned in the
third highest performance of the
year. Selvy had 63 against Mer
cer last week and his teammate,
Niel Gordon, 52 earlier in the
year.

High School Teams
Experiment With
Penalty Box Rule
Chatanooga, Tenn. VP) Bas
ketball fans and officials spend
many of their . "Hot-Stove
league" momenta discussing
what can be done to cut down
fouls, how dead time can be
eliminated when free throws
are shot and how to balance
the offense and defense.
So, two schoolboy teams here
tried a game with new rules
Tuesday, but tho results were
called inconclusive by many.
In the experimental same,
Central high school defeated
McCallle Prep school, 56-54
Tho rules did not allow free
throws. Instead, the team
fouled, got possession of tho
ball and the player commit
ting the foul went to a penalty
box for from 30 seconds to two
minutes.
When his penalty waa up, ho
went back Into the game with
out play being stopped. No
substitutions were allowed for
a player in the box. There was
no limit on the number of fouls
a player could commit
The result was a much faster
game. There was no "dead"
time. Instead, players com
plained the continuous pace
made them feel more fatigued
than under ordinary conditions.
But the cagers called only
two timeouts during the con
test, although they could have
had five rests each.
