IB, nuiul hnui aoerit sew KOfDBF Another state American Legion Junior baseball tour nament is upon us. Once again Legion officials have set up a double-elimination tournament crammed into four days. Very likelyy, one team will be called upon to play five nine-inning' games in four days. A rough schedule lor any team especially rough for a junior Legion team. Maybe there isn't any other answer to deciding a state champion, but to us it seems a shame that the youthful baseballers have to play so many games in such a short time. In professional baseball, teams have pitching staffs capable of handling five games in four days. But in Legion baseball, where teams seldom have more than two front line pitchers, it's an awfully, awfully rough grind a grind that could ruin the pitching arm of some potential major leaguer. The foregoing remarks are inspired by the case of Jay Dean, Oregon State college first baseman who led the Northern Division in hitting this year. Dean, who bats right-handed and throws left, is not a natural left- handed thrower. Dean was a right-handed pitcher on an Idaho junior Legion team a few years ago. During a tournament similar to the one opening tonight at Waters park, Dean was called upon to pitch two or three games within a few days. Result: Dean's right arm was ruined, and he had to learn to throw all over again, with his left arm. Dean never returned to pitching, but he devel- oped Into a fine first baseman. Bernie deViveiros, Detroit Tiger scout who was in this area recently, had this to say about Dean: "I like the way he looks at the plate. And I like his size. But he seems to be lacking something in his ability to throw." Other scouts, perhaps, get the same impression when they see Dean's slightly awkward throwing form. It is, we fear, a strike against him. All because some junior Legion coach found himself with not enough pitchers for a tournament schedule, and decided to use Dean over and over again. e . Coaches of teams in this week's Oregon state Legion tournament, and all other such tournaments, should guard against pitching their kids too often. There is always the temptation to tax the star pitcher's arm to the limit because "it doesn't hurt kids this age." But it hurt Dean, and it can hurt others. The American Legion should establish a rule limiting tne numDer 01 innings a pitcher can pitch within a pre scribed time.

The association also discovered that of the ballplayers who named contract bridge as their favorite card game, 72 per cent are such outstanding sluggers at Ralph Kiner of the Chicago Cubs and Ferris Fain of the Chicago White Sox.

Racing Experts Think Tom Fool Could Beat Dancer By JACK CUDDY New York mm Among the men who know thoroughbred Mood lines best, Tom Fool should best Native Dancer if and whea they meet this year. A tour of the ttable sres at the Jamaica race track reveal ed that most horsemen are of the opinion that a meeting be tween the New York cham pions would be "one of the greatest In hittory." But these wizened men of the turf don't think the Dancer can handle Tom Fool at hit best. Tom Fool Advatnsge As a three-year-old Native Dancer will have to carry 119 pounds to 126 for the four-year-old Tom Fool If they meet In a mile race In September. That would appear to put the Dancer at an advantage, but trainers like Willie Knapp scoff it auch a theory. "I ttiU think a good handi cap horse can beat a good three-year-old," said the man who rode Upset to victory over Man CWar a decade ago. "Na tive Dancer it a good three-year-old, but I think Tom Fool is a better horse. Thus, I'd have to string along with Tom Fool." Jim Fltiilmmons, the dean of American trainers, also casta hit vote for Tom Fool, although the beloved conditioner of tuch former championt at Gallant Fox and Omaha points out "to many things can happen be- Pitchers Shudder at Thought Of Ted Williams Returning mi baius rum American League pitchers who Ted Williams nay sooa bo mealing agreed today they're glad he hat returned safely from bloody Korea, kit They all also echoed the sentiment of Cleveland ace Mike Garcia who predicted, "just as toon at he gets back in lhape, about a month I figure it will be awful rough to have to pitch to him again." , Williams wore a Red Sox uniform for the first time in 16 months yesterday In two batting drills at Boston't Fen way Park and whacked two practice "homert" to right field. Newt et the blows tet the pitchers to shuddering even more. "I'm glad Ted is back be cause he is good for baseball." explained right hsnder Early Wynn of the Indians. "He's s great player and a treat show- man, so a lot of people go to the baU game Just to tee him and that't good for baseball. "But," continued Wynn with a wry grin, "I ture don't reliih the Idea of pitching to him again." Allie Reynolds of the Yan kee! called Williams "the best hitter I've ever pitched to," and said, "I'm glad to tee him bark, but It's a cinch he won't 1 create any more tleep for me, White Sox southpaw Billy . Pierce gloomily observed, "he ll be hard to pitch to. 1 expect to face him next time around and he'll probably be hitting like hell by then." , tween now and the fall." "I'd like to tee them run tomorrow," said Fltz, "because I'm ture it would be a great race. But if they do get to gether later this year, I pick Tom Fool to win. He't an awfully fast horse." Rntchlck Liket Tom Sol Rutchick, who trained Count Turf foi the Kentucky Derby two yeart ago and then watn't at Louisville to watch hit colt win, alto favort Tom Fool. "I think he't the better horse." said Rutchick, "al though I must admit a lot de pends on the distance of the race." Echoing Rutehick't senti ments, veteran radio broad caster Clem McCarthy also picked Tom Fool to defeat the Dancer at the right distance. "At a mile. I think Tom Fool would win." said McCar thy. "At a mlle-and-a-half I'm not to ture. Tom Fool has the most ipeed and I don't think Native Dancer could collar him. He probably would have a better chance of running down Tom Fool at a long distance." among the ball players (93 per cent). ' The ball players' favorite game isn't necessarily the one played most often. Although gin rummy it played more often than any other game in the big leagues, pinochle was named as the "favorite" game, with 30 per cent of the player vote. Gin rummy and poker were tied for second place in popu larity, each being selected by IS per cent. Among married ball playert, 44 per cent play cardt frequent ly with their families and an additional SO per cent engage In an occasional family game. Only six per cent stated that they rarely joined their wives snd children at the card table. Several of the major league clubs indicated clear-cut prefer ences for certain card garnet. Most popular game among the Milwaukee Braves is cribbsge which hss itt greatest follow ing in New England, former home of the Braves. Contract bridge has a greater popularity among the teams along the east ern seaboard than it does with the mldwestern clubs, who would rather play pinochle. The Italian games of bescala and prishcal are popular with members of the Brooklyn Dodg ers, along with pitch, casino and crazy eights. Fantan it played often by the Washington Senators, but hat little appeal for any of the other clubs In either league. Bridge playert among the clubs were asked to rate them selves tt to their caliber of play and to name their favorite bridge partner. On one club, which ahall be nameless, three different players list as their favorite bridge partner the team's , equipment manager. Yet, while the three playert rate themselves at "good," the equipment manager, with equal candor, labels himself ss "poor." With appropriate modeaty, no player rated himself "excel lent" at a bridge player. The majority appraised themselves "fair," a few called themselves "poor," and a handful admitted their bridge play to be "louay." ToUU 11 11 11 11 TotAlt XI 4 11 11 a mod out lor waiaai id 7th.

In stead, they are bringing in a selected few road garnet. George Weiss, Yankee gen eral manager, hasn't made up his mind on the success of the experiment. After the season, the figures will be analyzed snd checked against attendance at TV garnet, taking into ac count advance ticket tales. The baseball men also are watching with great interest the success of Ray Arcel's Sat urday night boxing series which blacks out the local area but beams the shows on a coast-to-coast network.
