Black-haired Giambra, a slick boxer and a sharpshooter with his punches, surprised the nation in his last fight as a soldier on Aug. 25, when he came danger ously close to beating Carl (Bobo) Olson in their non-tile TV bout. Bobo was middleweight cham pion then. Tonight's March, of Dimes polio-fund scrap will be the first for Joey since the Olson thriller and the first since he received his Army discharge on Dec. 9.

The night game total, though extremely high, was exactly the same as the number scheduled for last year, despite a reduction of 13 games by the Cardinals who went all out and tried to fit in 56 after dark encounters in 1955. Althoush the Cardinals re duced their total, four other clubs posted increases. The Dod gers went up five games to a to tal of 35 in the night depart ment, Milwaukee added three for a 35 total, Pittsburgh added three more to make it 28, Cin cinnati added one for a total of 37, and the Giants went up one from 20 to 21. . The Phils,' who now lead the league in.nighters with the Car dinal decrease in effect, have the same total of 45 as they had a year ago. The Cubs, of course have no night games, remaining the only team in organized base ball without lights in their park. Forgotten Tradition The weekday afternoon game once the backbone of the entire schedule, is a forgotten tradi tion at Philadelphia and St, Louis where none are scheduled from Monday through Friday excepting holidays. By contrast; the Cubs will play 42 weekday afternoon games. The Cardinals, to make up for a number of the night games which they had scheduled in the past, are going strong for Sun day doubleheaders and posted a total of nine. The Cubs also of fered nine twin attractions on Sunday and the Redlegs, Phil lies and Pirates posted eight each. Brooklyn had six, the Giants five and the Braves three.

Use of the costumes hinges on a dyeing and drying job. Fire-engine red will be in evidence in some form. "Stop Clark" is the object of the Firemen. They feel that much of their hopes for a second straight victory over the Flat feet hinge on their ability to hold down the scoring of Roger Clark, most talented member of the Law Enforcement sauad. Clark was borrowed from the state police, along with Don Cain, for the fracas, one of the indications of Police aims for an all-out effort to win. The- Officers have indicated that they plan a fast breaking attack with a platoon system possibly being employed to en able them to keep up a fast pace.

West Victor In Pro Star ' Hoop Tangle By NORMAN MILLER Rochester, N.Y (U.R) Char ley Eckman is a fun-loving for mer referee who loves to poke jokes at his own "genius" as a basketball coach, but it was some of his slick strategy that paved the way to the West's up set win in the-National Basket ball association all-star game. The West rallied from an early 14-point deficit Tuesday night to trounce the East, 108 94, for only its second victory in the six-year series. - One reason the East kad been favored to win was that Coach Eckman apparently had been. short-changed" when provided with a squad that didn't include enough of those short, playmak ing swifties. But the big reason the West won was that Eckman made great use of his big men. Giants on Floor With Neil Johnston of Phila delphia showing the way, the' East raced to a 19-5 opening lead and that's when Eckman made his move. He put four of his giants onto the floor at once and . - u.v..;l Ul coins cnanged at once. The big men started grabbing rebounds off both boards and the East's brilliant little men, like Bob "Cousy of Boston, just didn't get the ball to score with. The West fought back to a 36-34 lead, was on top by 43-40 at halftime. Six-nine Bob Pettit was both top scorer and rebounder for the West and quite properly was voted the game's "outstanding player." He tallied 20 points to top marksmen on both teams arid nabbed 24 rebounds. Tennis star Jaroslav Drobny, self-exiled Czech who won the Wimbledon title in 1954, was once one of the finest ice hockey players in Europe. VS. House of DAVID THURS.
