Jockey Earl Sande Without Job
As Racing Season Start Nears
New YorkttJ.PJ Earl Sande.
one of the greatest jockeys ever
to slio into a pair of riding boots,
is approaching the start of an
other New York racing season
with a heavy heart . . . and with
out a job.
The "handy guy" who rode
three Kentucky Derby winners
and then switched to training
horses when his riding days were
over sat in a restaurant hard by
Belmont Park and told of the
hard luck that has pursued him
In recent years.
"I've had a few offers to train
horses, but they haven't amount
ed to much," Sande said as he
altematingly sipped coffee and
wrung those still-powerful Iook

Champ's Manager
Refused License
New York (U.R) Pudgy
Willie Ketchum. manager of
Liehtweieht Champion Jimmy
Carter, refused Tuesday to be the
Leo Durocher of boxing.
In a case which parallels the
1947 suspension -without -reason
of "Leo the Lip," Ketchum has
been denied a second's ljcense by
the New York State Athletic
commission. No reason was given
other than that the move was in
the "best interests of boxing."
But rotund Willie, belying his
timid aDDearance. demands a
public hearing to make known
the reasons for this move.
"I'm not gonna be a Durocher,'
he said. "I ain't done anything
wrong and I haven't anything to
fear. What I want to know is,
why the witch hunt."

NEW KEYSTONE COMBO
Bradenton, Fla. (U.R) Al
Schoendienst probably will team
with manager Eddie Stanky as
the St. Louis "Cardinals' key
stone combination when they
open the National league sea

appeared more likely than ever
Tuesday after Schoendienst and
Stanky paired for the first time

Philadelphia Phillies.

"Some guys have approached
me about training a couple of
horses, but I don't want that. I'd
like to get a job training for a
good stable but jobs like that
aren't available these days."

Murdering Girl in
San Francisco Park
San Francisco (U.R) Ramon
Rodriguez, 18, said Tuesday that
his 17-year-old girl friend fought
"like a wildcat" trying to beat
him off before he pummeled,
strangled and stripped her in
San Francisco's Mission park.
" Bandages covered the livid
fingernail scratches left on his
ace by the young girl's desper
ate attempts to resist him.
Body Found ia Bushes

with suspicion of murder late
Monday night, some 15Vi hours
after the body of "model stu
dent" Hilda Rose Pagan was
found in bushes of the park with
in the shadow of the high school
she attended.
The girl, regarded as a steady,
churchgoing young citizen by
her family and teachers, had
numerous dates with. Rodriguez
before their fatal encounter, he
told questioners.
Rodriguez Monday afternoon
reenacted the crime for police.
Officers had to string rope bar
ricades to keep hundreds of the
girl's fellow students and curious
onlookers away from the spot
where the boy killed her as she
resisted his advances.
Rejected 'Proposition'
Denying he raped the girl,
Rodriguez said she rejected a
"proposition," then:
"I hit her and she began to
fight back . . .-like a wildcat. I
hit her several times; I don't
know how many."
Then, he continued, he went
home and changed out of his
blood-spotted clothes. Later he
came back to the park and hid
Hilda Rose's body after first
tearing off her clothing to indi
cate she was the victim of a sex
maniac.

Japanese Vessels Trapped by Ice Floe
Sendai, Japan (U.R) A giant
ice floe trapped a large Jap
anese fishing vessel and a res
cue ship Tuesday off northern
Hokkaido within sight of Russian-held
Sakhalin island.
Heavy snowstorms brought
distress signals from at least 15
other vessels in the same general
area.
The Japanese coast guard im
mediately reauested American
aid for the ships, which were
trapped in the straits of Soya
Haikyo, the narrow neck of
water separating U. S. forces sta
tioned on Hokkaido from Soviet
forces on Sakhalin.
The U. S. Army said the res
cue ship, a destroyer-escort type

Olympia (U.R) An initiative
to repeal the Sunday blue laws
of 1909 has been filed by a
Spokane committee describing
itself as "an angry group of
small business men."
"The. committee for Repeal of
Unpopular Legislation," headed
by Thomas C. Kelley, submitted
its initiative to Secretary of
State Earl Coe who assigned it
number 182.
Amusement Banned
The Sunday blue laws, or Sun
day closing laws, ban the sale
of food. uncooked meats and
most other merchandise on Sun
day. They also outlaw baseball
games and other forms of amuse
ment, such as theaters.
However, except for prohibit
ing the sale of liquor, the Sun
day blue laws are seldom en
forced to any degree.
Kelly said repeal of the laws
would permit "the sale of food,
clothing, merchandise, personal
services and personal- property
at any and all times."
However, if the blue laws
were repealed it would be up
to the State Liquor Control
board to say whether or not
liquor could be sold on Sunday.
Joseph Lavin, assistant attorney
general for the liquor control
board, said the board now is pro
hibited by the blue laws from
authorizing Sunday sales, but if
the blue laws were repealed then
the board would have sole au
thority to determine if liquor
could be sold on the Sabbath.
Before the initiative can get
on the general election ballot
this November, its sponsors must
secure at least 50,000 valid sig
natures of registered voters be
fore midnight July 7.
