Al. Kaline Celebrates AL

Chicago U.R) Al Kaline

champion in major league his
tory. 1 - ' ''
And, on the day he officially
becomes a man, the Detroit Tig
ers' $35,000 bonus beauty might
well ponder the paths taken by
two previous "boy wonder"
champions. One went on to
glory, the other to heart-break.
Official figures released by
the Howe News Bureau disclos
ed that Kaline, won the Ameri-
Lati league uaitiug line liiu jrcai

Balding Cops
Golf Crown
Sanford, Fla.. (U.P.) Can
adian PGA champion Al Bald
ing said today he'll use the $2,-
400 winner's purse from his
first U. S. triumph today to con-
tinue touring the winter golf
circuit.
"If I hadn't won any money
here, I would have had to go
back home," said the lanky 31-
year-old Ontario pro who on
the $15,000 Mayfair tournament
Sunday with a final round 68
and a 72-hole total of 269.
Sam Snead, who blew his
chancK in the final round, said
"I just wasn't playing well, but
I guess you can't win 'em all."
Beats Oliver
Despite of a bogey on the final
hole, Balding was one stroke
better than Oliver who shot a
69 to tie Mike Souchak of Gross
inger, N.Y., for second at 270.
Snead, the favorite and lead
er at the halfway point, slipped
to a 72 in the last round and

Byron Dickenson
In Skiing Race
Timberline Lodge (U.P.) :
Byron Dickenson of Seattle took
first place in the A men's div
ision at the annual Arnold Limn
race yesterday, as the Pacific
Northwest ski season opened in
a heavy snowstorm.
Dickenson covered the 2V2
mile course in 3:58.6. Dale El
mer, 16-year-old Portland high
school-student bettered this time
however, with 3:54.8 in taking
the junior men's title. Ann Stone
of Portland, won the junior nov
80 short of the required mini
mum for consideration as league
champion.
Until Kaline came along, the
great Ty Cobb was the youngest
player ever to win a batting title.
The Georgia Peach was in his
20th year when he won his
crown in 1907 but was one
day older than Kaline. Cobb
was born on Dec. 18, 1886; Ka
line on Dec. 19, 1934.
Injuries Ruined Careers
Cobb, of course, went on to
win 12 AL titles and baseball
immortality. Pete Reiser of the
Brooklyn Dodgers, the, other
"boy wonder" champion, went
on to heart-break, however, aft
er winning the National league
crown in 1941 at the age of 22.
The following season he encoun
tered a string of injuries that
eventually ruined what prom
ised to be one of the greatest
of all careers.
Vic Power of the Kansas City
Athletics finished second to Ka
line with .319, followed by
George Kell and Nelson Fox
of the Chicago White Sox with
.312 and .311 respectively. Only
four other players hit .300 or
more.
Mickey Mantle, the New York
Yankees' fitful star, led the
league in home run swith 37,
while Ray Boone of the Detroit
Tigers and Jackie Jensen of the
Red Sox shared the lead in runs
batted in with 116 each.
Carmine Fiore
Fights Poirier
New York (U.R) Welter
weight Carmine Fiore, Brooklyn
left-hooker, is favored at 9-5 to
beat young Gene Poirier, right
handed sharp-shooter of Niagara
Falls, N.Y., tonight in their tele
vision 10-rounder at St. Nicholas
Arena.
It will be 23-year-old Poirier's
first start since Aug. 29, when
he was stopped by Chris Chris
tensen of Denmark in the sixth
round at St. Nick's because of
face cuts. Gene's right brow re
quired eight stitches, but he was
winning when stopped.
Fiore, 26, will be making his
second comeback appearance.
He returned to the ring on Nov.
21, after a 13-month lay-off, and
won a unanimous 10-round de
cision over Rinzy Nocero of
Brooklyn at St. Nick's.

were handed the ticklish job of
making newly recruited 17 .and
18-year-old Reservists and Na
tional Guardsmen like the Army
without coddling or pamper
ing, them.
Whether they succeeded in
making military service reason
ably attractive without sacrific
ing efficiency or necessary train
ing may best be judged by en
listments and the comments of
the youngsters who signed up
under the new Reserve Forces
Act.
The majority of the 255
trainees who completed their
first week here under the short
ened training program agreed
that "it's a pretty good deal."
Pvt. Dohn L. Kalmbach, Som
ers, Conn., remarked that he
joined the Reserve this fall in
stead of entering the University
of Michigan.

lege career and it won't be in-

and non-coms at Ft. Knox and he pointed out.
four other Army posts this fall Another trainee, Pvt. William
E. Wilson of Louisvme, jy.,
thought he might make the Army
his career.
"This six months is a sort of
sample, to see if I really want a
military career before I get tied
up for a long period," the young
National Guardsman said.
Some "Extras"
Wilson said he liked the train
ing despite the unexpected rigors
of a surprise unit inspection on
the third day in camp by Brig.
Gen. Hugh P. Harris, chief of
staff, 2nd Army; and Brig. Gen.
Samuel L. Myers, commanding
the Armored Replacement Train
ing Center here, which conducts
the Ft. Knox phase of the pro
gram. General Myers said the re
cruits conducted themselves
"particularly well" for such
green rookies.
He pointed out that this group
and the four similar groups at
other posts would receive a few
training "extras." No ice cream
and cookies, perhaps, but the
dining hall is a little better than
the average mess hall, and rec
reational facilities are a little
more complete.
AH of our cadremen are
hand-picked leaders, free of
court-martial records, with pleas
ing personalities and of high
moral character," Myers pointed
out. "They were chosen for their
ability to 'sell' the Army as a
career.
"These men are not here for
a picnic, but to be trained as
soldiers. We feel that with fan
handling, understanding and a
tough course of instruction, they
will react well and their parents
will be impressed.".
Eight Weeks of Basic
Five military posts now are
training a total of 1,167 Reserve
and National Guard personnel.
Ft. Knox has 158 Reservists, 97
Guardsmen.
As in any other outfit in mili
tary history, there are some
gripes.
Charles M. Russell, Ashland,
Ky., a member of the 364th En
gineers, Organized Reserve, said
he signed up because he wanted
to get his 'military obligations
tmt of the way before going to
college.
"But," he said with a wry
grin, "it sounded better before I
got into it than it does now."
The first eight weeks are basic
training, the same course given
to all Army inductees. After
basic, each trainee will get two
weeks' furlough and then report
for advanced branch training as
determined by his home unit. .
After 10 weeks of advanced
training, each man will be as
signed to a unit for four weeks
of additional training, complet
ing six months of the training
period. The Army's responsibil
ity then ends, and the Reservists
return to their units at Jhome
and remain in the Active Re
serve for IV2 years.
National Guardsmen under
this program will reduce their
Reserve obligation by two years.

Neuberger Praises
Reciprocal Trade
Portland U.R) Sen. Richard
L. Neuberger last night spoke in
praise of President Eisenhower's
reciprocal-trade program.
The Oregon Democrat told
delegates to the annual meeting
of the Japanese-American Citi
zens league here that President
Eisenhower had done "the wise
and far-sighted thing" in con
tinuing "trade policies begun by
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
in. 1936.".
Neuberger said that the Unit
ed States would be far better off
to make tariff concessions to ad
mit Japanese goods than to
have "to feed and clothe Japan
out of the U.S. treasury."
