Camps Hit
By Injuries
By MILTON RICHMAM
An increase in the number of
lame, tick and injured ball play
ers combined today to sour sever
al managers in the grapefruit cir
cuit. Veteran relief pitcher Ellis Kind
er, who never suffered any spring
training ailment before, joined
team-mate Ted Williams on the
Bed Sox sidelines with a virus in
fection at Sarasota, Fla.
Milwaukee, with home run kino
Eddie Mathews already out with
back injury and heavy cold,
came up with another victim in
rookie Walt Linden, whose right
thumb was fractured by a foul
tip yesterday.
Pitcher Bob Trice became the
Athletics' first casualty when he
injured his left shoulder at West
Palm Beach, Fla.. yes'erday.
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,

By JOE REICIILER
SARASOTA, Fla. 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.

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.
High-scoring Tech clinched its
crown in its season finale last
night with an 84-1 victory over
second-place West Texas State,
thus qualifying to meet Santa
Clara in a first-round game March
8 or 8 at a site to be selected.
Rice and Texas each won Jts
final game of the season last night, I
Rice leading almost all the way to
beat SMU, 90-64, and Texas doing
the same thing to whip Texas
Christian, 68-59. The two teams
each have a final league record
of 9-3 and will meet in a best-
two-of-three playoff.
Playoff Plans
The first game In that playoff
series will be on Rice's court at
Houseton Friday, the second on
Texas' court at Austin Monday and
third, if necessary, on a neutral
court at Waco, Texas, on Tuesday.
It was believed that the dead
lock in the Southwest Conference
race eliminated both Rice and
Texas from consideration for a bid
to the National Invitation Tourna
ment. The NIT was considering
inviting the league's runner-up, but
now cannot wait for the outcome
of the playoffs since the tourney
starts on Saturday night.
It was learned that the leadinir
candidates for the last remaining:
NIT berth now are Cincinnati, Vil
lanova, and Brigham Young.
