Vero Beach, Fla. (U.R)
The world champion Brooklyn
Dodgers are "hurting" this
spring, but they still look like
the class of the National league.
They are hurting because
Johnny Podres, their World
Series pitching hero, is Navy
bound; pitcher Karl Spooner is
having more arm trouble, and
their captain and sparkplug,
Pee Wee Reese, has a back in
jury. But they are loaded with tal
ent &nd even Walt Alston, their
taciturn manager, agrees "We
are the club to beat."
Podres will be the only key
player -missing from their first
world championship team. The
rest of them are back, and both
Spooner and Reese are confi
dent they Will be all right.
They'll have Gil Hodges at
first, Duke Snider in center,
Carl Furillo in right, Roy Cam
pan3lla behind the plate and
such pitchers as Don New
combe, Carl Erskine, Billy Loes,
Don Bessent, Roger Craig and
Clem Labine out there on the
mound.
Backbone of Club
They, together with Reese
and in the series, Podres form
ed the backbone of the club in
1955.
For the positions open, there
are plenty of candidates. For
instance, Randy Jackson, ob
tained from the Cubs and Jackie
Robinson are battling for the
third base spot. No matter
which one makes it, the Dodg
ers do not figure to be weak
there.
The same is true of second
base, shortstop and left field. If
Reese should come to the end
of the . road, Brooklyn has
spunky Don Zimmer and rookie
Chico Fernandez, who hit .301
at Montreal last year, ready to
take ove'r. ' .
' At second, Junior Gilliam,
who also can play left field;
Zimmer, and rookie Charley
Neal, another Montreal gradu
ate, are available. And for the
left field spot there are Sandy
Amoros, whose catch saved the
Dodgers in the series; rookie
Gino Cimoli, a .306 hitter at
Montreal in 1955; and Gilliam
and Robinson if they should
be beaten out of their infield
posts.
The Dodgers have depth in
every position except first and
that isn't much of a worry when
you have a durable guy like
Hodges out there. But if some
thing should happen to the slug
ging first baseman, Robinson
can play the bag.
Pitching No Weakness
Pitching long has been rated
a Dodger weakness, but actually
is one of their strong spots.
Newcombe was' 20-5; Erskine
11-8; Loes 10-4; Bessent 8-1;
Craig 5-3; Labine 13-5.
Back of them are fellows like
Ken Lehman, a 22-winner at
Montreal; Chuck Templeton,
who won 14 at St. Paul; Sandy
Koufax, the bonus pitcher who
won a big game against the Red
legs last year, striking out 14
men; Ed Roebuck, who was one
of the best relief pitchers in the
league for the first half of the
season; Jim Hughes, the relief
star of 1954 but a bust in 1955;
and the sleeper of the group,
Don Elstun, a 17-game winner
at Los Angeles.
As for catching Campanella
stands out in the National league
like Yogi Berra of the Yankees
does in the American.
For power, speed, pitching,
defense, bench strength and
everything else, the Dodgers
seem to have it at least on
paper.
Campbell Told To Lose,
He Testifies at LA
.Los Angeles (U.R) Ex-light
weight boxer Tommy Campbell
testified at a Los Angeles boxing
probe yesterday that he was told
to lose to Art Aragon at the
Olympic Auditorium May 16,
1950.
He said under oath that the
agreement to throw the bout
was arranged between his man
ager. George Moore, and match
maker Babe McCoy before the
fight.
Walter Burkemo
Seminole Victor
Palm Beach, Fla. (U.R)
Walter Burkemo walked off with
first place money of SI, 800 in
the Seminole Pro-Amateur Golf
tournament today.
The curly-haired former PGA
champion from Franklin, Mich.,
putted to perfection over the
tough Seminole course Tuesday
and wound up with a two-under-par
70 that gave him a 138 total.
Ted Kroll, who was the day's
biggest money winner, fired a
final round 71 for second place,
which was worth SI, 000. He
teamed up with Herbert Schef
tel of New York for a best ball
62-63 125 that won the pro
am side and earned Kroll an
other S1,000. ,
Ed Furgol of St. Louis and
Jack -Fleck of Davenport, . Ia.,
both of whom fired second round
73's, also shared third place with
141 totals.
Wes Santee
Returned To
Sidelines
New York (U.R) ,Wes San
tee's suspension from track was
back in effect today as State Su
preme ; Court Judge Walter A.
Lynch prepared to receive fur
ther evidence in the suit brought
by Santee against the Amateur
Athletic Union.
"Judge Lynch put Santee on
the sidelines yesterday when he
discontinued, at least temporar
ily, the Supreme Court injunc
tion that Santee had obtained
against his suspension.
That means that, as matters
now stand, Santee won't be eli
gible to run in the Chicago
Daily News track meet in Chi
cago. Under the injunction, San
tee had competed in three meets
during this indoor season. But
Charles P. Grimes, Santee's at
torney, said the Marine Corps
mile star had not intended to
compete at Chicago, anyway.
AAU Scores Victory
The AAU scored another,
probably more significant, vic
tory, over Santee yesterday
when Judge Lynch tossed out
the third part of Santee's com
plaint, namely, that violations
of the amateur code for track
stars had been permitted so oft
en in the past that the rule now
is unenforceable. The dismissal
came when attorney Grimes ad
mitted he was unable to proceed
on arguments on this point
now.
The dismissal wiped out any
chance of a parade of track
stars, former track stars, and
meet officials to the stand to tes
tify on how well the amateur
code has been adhered to in the
past.
