More Than
Magic Need
Of Mounties
(This is the first of a series
on the prospects of Pacific
Coast League teams for the
1956 season.
By ALEX KAHN -
Fullerton' Calif. (U.R)
For most people, Frank (Lefty)
O'Doul means Mr. Coast League
and "the man in the green suit,"
as he's affectionately known, is
back for another season.
This year his club has a new
home and a new name the
Vancouver Mounties. But it's
still the same O'Doul pacing
back of the cage, throwing a
word of encouragement to a
rookie and expressing the hope
of every manager in baseball
for more help.
O'Doul is starting his 21st
season as a manager in the coast
league ana its been 39 years
since he broke into theocircuit
back1 in 1917.
But even O'Doul's magic can't
make the transplanted Oakland
club into a winner unless he gets
help. And he's looking to the
Baltimore team and his old
friend, Paul Richards, to supply
this assistance. Vancouver is a
farm team of the Orioles.
Depends on Help
"It all depends on the players
we get from Baltimore," the big
man said. "If we get help, we
will move up from seventh
place where Oakland finished.
"It takes players to make a
ball club and we're counting on
Baltimore. They've got lots of
fine kids who could help us.
If we get the help we could
make it interesting. I hope so,
because those people in Van
couver deserve it. They're be
hind us all the way."
Vancouver needs both infield
help and pitching. And the
man O'Doul really wants is
first baseman John Francona,
who was destined for the Moun
ties but has been doing so well
with the stick at Scottsdale,
Ariz!, with the Orioles that
O'Doul doesn't know if he .will
be his.
Weak in Infield
The Mounties are so weak for
infield strength' that the 36-year-old
Spiker Jorgensen is the
only returnee in that depart
ment. Dave Roberts, up from
San Antonio, could make it at
first and so could another San
Antonio graduate, . Witty Quin
tana. The cow pasture has the hard
hitting George Metkovich after
another batting title; Carl Pow
is, who played for Portland last
year;. Art Cuitti, who is alter
nating at catcher and another
Portland veteran, Dino Restelli.
For pitchers, O'Doul has
orSy George Bamberger and
Chris Van Cuyk as hurlers who
were with him all last season
although Charlie Beamon com
piled a fine 18-8 record be
tween Oakland and Stockton.
ThQ prospects include Roosevelt
Evans, Bill Diemer and Ted
Herrera while outfielder Dave
Jordan is trying to switch to
pitching.
But O Doul is being patient.
He worked with Baltimore for
several weeks and knows there
are players available. He hopes
they won't come too late.
Dons Go Blind
Into SMU Fray
San Francisco (U.R) Coach
Phil Woolpert of the University
of San Francisco admitted today
his still invincible Dons will be
going in "blind" against South
ern Methodist in the NCAA bas
ketball championship finals
Thursday night.
"I don't even know what color
jerseys the Mustangs wear,"
Woolpert (jjuipped.
Although he served on a
coaching clinic faculty with
Mustang Pilot Doc Hayes last
summer, Woolpert has yet to see
SMU play. Moreover, he has had
no scouts operating.
As soon as the Dons returned
home yesterday from Corvallis,
Ore., where they won the west
ern regionalPNCAA title for the
second year ina row, Woolpert
issued an SOS to all his friends
asking for reports on theJMus

A-thletic club swim star who
shattered a world record for the

The world mark of 1:04.6 set

Yesterday, swimming in the

In NIT Quarter-Finals
New York (U.R) The seeded
teams swing into action as fav
orites tonight in the quarter
final round of the National In
vitation Tournament with Louis
ville picked over Duquesne and
Niagara over St. Francis of
Brooklyn.
In each case, height was the
factor that established the fa
vorite with 6-8 Charley Tyra of
Louisville and 6-7 Tommy He
mans of Niagara seen as the
key men.
Louisville (23-3) is second
seeded; Niagara (20-6) is fourth
seeded. The quarter-final round
will be concluded Tuesday night
when top-seeded Dayton meets
surprising Xavier of Ohio and
third-seeded St. Joseph's plays

M. Fetchick
Golf Winner
St. Petersburg, Fla. (U.R)
Mike Fetchick, no more talka
tive than usual, couldn't offer
any special reason today for his
victory in the 512,500 St. Petersburg-Open
Golf Tournament.
"I just went out and played
the best way I knew how," the
stocky Mahopac, N. Y., profes
sional said.
But two major factors in Fet-
chicks' first major tournament
victory were his brilliant ap
proach shots and the faltering
underpressure of Billy Max
well and Lionel Hebert.
Hebert Muffs Shot
Fetchick downed Hebert on
the first hole of a sudden death
playoff, sinking an easy putt
for a par four while the Erie,
Pa., golfer missed a 10-footer.
Maxwell, from Odessa, Tex.,
was the leader by one stroke
going into the final round but,
playing in the same threesome
with Fetchick, was shaken by
the pressure and missed his
chance to win when he bogeyed
the final two holes.
Fetchick, who has played
three years on the pro circuit
and never finished better than
a second place tie, fired a three-under-par
69 in the final round
for a 72-hole total of 275.
Hebert, who also wound up
with 275, carded a 70 Sunday
and Maxwell shot a 72 for a
total of 276.

On Overall Cost
Of Highway System
Washington U.R) A re
view of the overall cost of the
proposed S25,000,000 interstate
highway system has been order
ed following disclosure that
there were wide discrepancies
in estimated costs on various
portions of the program.
A House public works sub
committee ordered the recheck,
it was learned yesterday, after
Rep. Jim Wright (D-Tex.),
pointed out the discrepancies.
The subcommittee, which has
been studying President Eisen
hower's proposed highway con
struction program, asked the
Bureau of Public Roads to
have the review finished by
Jan. 1, 1958.
The study will not delay the
start of the vast highway pro
gram. The subcommittee plans
to recommend to the full Public
Works Committee that work on
the interstate system begin at
once. i
The subcommittee already
tentatively has approved a 13
year, $50,000,000,000 federal
state construction program. The
federal government would put
up 536,600,000,000 with S24,
800,000,000 going for the inter
state system.
Wright said a review of costs
should be "very-thorough and
comprehensive." He said there
were indications that an earlier
study, on which the subcommit
tee based its bill, was taken
"too hurriedly to be exact." He
said estimated costs in some
states were compiled in only
six weeks.

Political Play for Vote of Jews, Negroes
May Be at Stand-Off in Coming Campaign
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
.Washington 'UP.) The politi
cal play for support of two of
the larger minority groups may
be a stand-off
in this year's
p r e s i d ential
election. Both
groups will
vote next No
vember under
c i rcumstances
of e m o t ional
strain.
Democra t i c
candidates for
Lvle C Wilson
national and lesser offices prob
ably will be able to make the
most attractive bid for Jewish
voters.
Republicans may be able to
woo northern Negroes from
their 20-year attachment to the
New Deal-Democratic combina
tion created by FDR.
The political issue touching
Jewish hearts in this campaign
year is' Eisenhower administra
tion policy toward Israeli and
the Arab states. The President
and other Republican candidates
must confine their appeal to
Jewish voters to the administra
tion's record. That record is not
wholly distasteful to Jewish vot
ers, but it is a real limitation on
campaign promises. The Eisen
hower administration is in of
fice and has the power to act.
For the approval of Jewish vot
ers it can offer no more than the
record of its actions so far.
Ins and Outs
The Democrats are the outs.
The political outs can and usual
ly do out-promise the ins when
there is rivalry between them
for the favor of any group of
voters, racial, , religious or occu
pational. Democratic candidates
this year likely will promise to
do more for Israel than the
Eisenhower administration has
done, and .less for the Arab
states. Political parties long
have followed such strategy. It
often pays off.
Northern Democratic candi
dates will be as eager as any Re
publican to please Negro voters
this year. They will be handi
capped and perhaps frustrated,
however, by the angry dispute
within their own party on the
question of Negro and white
children and young people ming
ling in the public schools.
The bitter talk of southern
Democrats and their urgent
plans to postpone or to prevent
integration will sound loudly
and be seen clearly in northern
states. There is at least the pos
sibility perhaps, even, the
probability that northern
Negroes will desert to the Re
publican Party this year by the
tens of thousands. Democratic
prospects in (this presidential
election are not bright at this
moment. A Negro bolt would
dim them more.
