Trice, a righthander, ell on his shoulder while throwing out a run ner and is expected to be inactive for at least a week. Feeling Hurt Joe Black of Brooklyn wasn't Injured physically but his feelings were certainly hurt when he was rapped for four hits in two innings during a Dodger infra-squad game at Vero Beach, Fla., yesterday. Jiver-mindful or the increase in spring injuries, Yankee Manager Casey Stengel cautioned Mickey Mantle to "take it easy" in his first workout yesterday, especially since the outfielder is still recup erating from a recent knee opera tion. But Mantle begged to take "just a couple of swings," was granted permission and hit several line drives off Ed Lopat and Art Schallock. Willie Mays, fresh out of the Army, brought raves of enthusi asm from Giant Manager Leo u rocher in his spring training debut at Phoenix, Ariz. Stepping up as a pinch hitter, the 22-year-old Mavs siammea a inrce run nomer, then went to center field where he turned in two , brilliant catches, oo mm-a I VI I .

Wl-Ted Wil liams vowed today he'd fool the doctors who gloomily predicted he would miss yie baseball season s opener because of a fractured col larbone, "Don't bet against my playing in the opening game of the sea son," the Boston Red Sox slugger said. "I ll be ready. HI get over this sooner than they think. I've fooled the doctor! before and I'll fool cm again. Dr. Russell R. Sullivan, chief surgeon of the orthopedic division of the Boston City Hospital, who set the fracture and placed the injured left shoulder in a cast. was not so optimistic. No Batting for 6 Weeks "It was a 'can break and x-rays show a quite satisfactory position," he said. "But Ted must be in the cast a minimum of three weeks and cannot swing a bat for about six weeks. It is highly doubtful if he'll be ready for the season opener." The Red Sox open their season at Philadelphia April 13, six weeks irom toaay. it is estimated Wil liams would need at least two weeks of batting practice and con ditioning, after his recovery, be fore he could play in a regular game. The injury, his second of a seri ous nature in less than four years, occurred less than an hour after he arrived at Payne Field for his first spring workout of the senson. He had been shagging flics in his customary left field position for minutes when he faced into great pain. He grabbed his left 1 shoulder and immediately strode toward the clubhouse behind right field. As he passed teammate Billy Goodman, he grimaced in pain and muttered: "I heard something pop. I think something broke." After Red Sox trainer Jack Fad den administered first aid, Wil liams was whisked away to a doc tor. More X-Rays Due X-rays will be taken again to morrow, after which Williams will return to his winter home in Miami I Fla. Williams, 35, pointed ' out he came back sooner than expected in 1950 when he fractured his left elbow making a spectacular catch in the All-Star Game in Chicago He also missed most of spring training and the first 10 days of the 1941 season because of a chipped left ankle but finished with a sensational .406 batting av erage, the highest major league mark since George Sisler'i .420 in 1922.

By JOHN GRIFFIN NEW YORK (UP)-Texas Tech moved into the NCAA Tourna ment today as the newly-crowned Border Conference basketball champion, but Rice and Texas wound up in a tie for the South west Conference title and faced a playoff for a tourney berth.
