Sport Hv ' yOUT OSCAK FRALEY Parade w-w,- By OSCAR FRALET New York (U.FD It was a long time between home runs but rangy Gil Hodges carried a menacing bat into the second game of the World series today "certain that the famine is over." The big first baseman of the Tony Zale Now Boxing Instructor Chicago U.PJ It's been more than five years since Tony Zale relinquished the middle weight championship to Marcel Cerdan of France, but the "Man of Steel" is much more than a memory to millions of fans. Zale, a product of the steel mills of Gary, Ind., fought three of the most bruising battles in middleweight history with the same man, rugged Rocky Graz iano. For those brawls Zale prob ably will be recalled many years from now as one of the ring's gamest competitors since another toughie, Mickey walker. Mow an Instructor Today the 39-year-old Zale is a boxing instructor for the Chi cago CYO. He seconds CYO team members in Golden Gloves competition and has worked in the corners of several leading midwest fighters. Looking as trim and fit as the day he smashed Graziano into defeat to regain the title on June 10, 1948 in Newark, N. J., Zale has no regrets about having re tired without another try at the title he cherished. "Those three fights with the Rock took a hell of a lot out of me," Zale said. "The second one in Chicago July 16, 1947 was in terrific heat and I thought I was all through after that night. But I really wanted to get that guy in the return bout." "After I did, everything else seemed incidental and when Cer dan whipped me a year later I was ready to quit, Zale said. 1 Was Tired." "I knew I didn't have it any more and I was tired." Zale today is financially solv ent, has a relatively unscarred face and isn't "walking on his heels." His first fight with Graziano was one of the most brutal in ring history. He recalls the grudge he had for "The Rock" in that outing. "I never hated a guy in the ring as much as Graziano," he said. It was nothing personal but he didn't consider Rocky "much of fighter." "I just couldn't stand the thought of a club fighter like him, a brawler, taking the title from me." Name Hew Manager At J. C. Penney Co. J. B. Page, new manager for the J. C. Penney company store, arrived this week from San Diego, Calif., where he managed a Penney store for eight years. He has b$en with the company for 27 years and began his ca reer in Phoenix, Ariz. Until now be has been with stores in the southwest. From Phoenix he went to Nogales, Ariz, and was there for eleven years. Page's family has remained at San Diego and will join him here later. The new manager replaces J. C. Hayes who retired late this summer. Page expressed that he "is "greatly impressed" by the northwest and is looking for ward to living here. He had not been in Oregon until he arrived to accept this position, he said. Mexican Coast Hit By Sharp Earthquake Mexico City 0J.R) A brief but sharp earthquake which jar red Mazatlan on the West coast last night was believed today to have centered in the Pacific ocean off Baja, California. The quake was recorded on seismographs as far away as Fayetteville, Ark., and Boston, Mass. Mexico City seasmologic re ports placed the center of the temblor "possibly between the Islas Marias, and the peninsula of Baja California." A spokesman at the Tacubaya Seismological ' observatory said the quake would have been "ruinous" if it centered near , a populated area. Brooklyn Dodgers smashed a round tripper into the stands in the seventh inning of the last game of the 1949 World series. Then, through 24 official times at bat in baseball's blue ribbon classic, big Gil swung with abject futility, until the sixth inning of yesterday's open ing game of the 1953 show. At that point, with a full count on him, big Gil lashed a drive into the seats to break the drought. "Nobody will ever know how I felt when I saw that one was going in," he grinned afterwards "I know I don't have the words to explain it." Flied Out In the second inning, Gil walked up there before more than 70,000 fans, took two balls, had a strike called on him and then arched an easy out to left field. That made him nothing for 23, counting one last futile swing in 1949, those horrible 21 unfruitful efforts in 1952 and his first time up yesterday. In the fourth inning, Gil marched frimly up there again and once more was shut out. He still was wondering when he went up there in the sixth. The count went to two balls and one strike and then Hodges "got a piece of it" as he fouled off two pitches. Reynolds poured over another ball and then came Gil's big moment even in a los ing day. "I felt it all the way up into my shoulders," he laughed like a kid who got a new bicycle for Christmas. "I could hardly run for watching the ball sail out there, and thinking it was one of the prettiest sights I've ever seen."
