(NEA) Yogi Berra Refuses to Announce Vote For Ike; Says 'I Just Love Baseball' By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer New York (U.R) President Elsenhower may not know it and don't tell anybody because It's a secret, but he's got a vote In Yogi Berra. "Imagine," said the squat man of the Yankees, ' one of the poll' lical parties asked me to endorse their candidate. But they don't foo! old Yog. I'm not tellin' how I vote. "Beside," he added as an aft erthought, "some of those Brook Ivn Ditchers might be Demo crat." SPORTS Chicago Is Office for 'Babe' Trophy Chicago (U.R! Chicago was picked today as national head quarters for the Babe Didrikson Zaharias Trophy Committee. Announcement of the site was made in Chicago by Bob Rus sell, national committee chair man, and in Beaumont, Tex., by George Zaharias. husband of the late woman athlete. The trophy, established by the Babe during the final stages of her losing battle against "can cer, will be presented annually to theoutstanding woman ama teur athlete of the year. . The OSC, Ducks Scrimmage Corvallis, Ore. U.R) Oregon State Beavers returned to the practice field today to pre pare for their intersectional con test with Iowa this week end. Coach Tommy Prothro. who cave the Beavers a day off Mon day, had high praise for his boys despite their loss to USC Friday. He said the sophomores turned tn a good performance and ap parently had shaken off the jit ters that plagued them during the season's opener against Mis- souri. Eugene U.PJ The Oregon Ducks went through a full scrim mage today in an attempt to iron out the mistakes they made Sat urday while eking out a 21-14 win over Idaho. Coach Len Casanova warned the Webfoots that if they make the same mistakes against UCLA this week end they probably will lose the game. Ron Stover, who broke his hand in two places in the Idaho game, is a doubtful starter for the UCLA contest. Player Loses First Match Forest Hills, N.Y. U.R) Tall, 19-year-old Mike Green of Miami Beach, Fla , lost his first Davis Cup start Monday, but nonethe less he was the one the tennis experts were talking about to day. Green was the only U.S. loser as America finished its interzone semi-final with Italy on the long end of a 4-1 score. Happy-go-lucky 2-year-old Nicola Pietran geli proved too experienced for Green as he won, 3-6. 6-4, 6-3, 6-3, in Monday's first singles match. In the second match Sam my Giammalva of Houston, Tex., blasted through Orlando Sirola In a battle of strong services, 12-10. 6-3, 6-2. The United States, with Vic Seixas and Ham Richardson do ing the playing, had won the first three matches to move the U.S. into the interzone finals against India in Australia in mid- December. That's the latest gem from the perennial clown and good humor man of the New York Yankees. And, while his team mates laugh at him and needle him, they take no undue liber ties with Yogi. Because they all know that this is the sparkplug of the ball club the man who makes them go. A Deliberate Clown They also know that Yogi isn't, if you'll pardon plain speaking, as dumb as he some times sounds. Much of his clown ing is deliberate and this is per fectly obvious when you watch the shrewd brown eyes under the beetling black eye brows. The answer is that Yogi has never changed since he came up to the Yankees. His is the simple approach, like when he first arrived and was Invited to speak at a luncheon in a swanky restaurant. "Okay," said Yogi, "if my suit gets back from the cleaners." The day of the luncheon. Yogi showed up in a battered old pair of trousers hidden under a raincoat buttoned to the chin. "The suit didn't come back," was his explanation. Yogi has more than one suit these days, with a $50,000 a year salary and a plush bowling establishment which he and Phil Rizzuto soon will open. But at 31 and getting ready for his eighth World Series, he's still the easy-going and slightly nervous type. Nervous Before Series Anybody who says he isn't nervous before the start of the World Series is full of bunk Yogi said. "For the first couple of pitches you can't hardly breathe. After that, it get's all right pretty quick." Yogi's hands show surprising ly little wear for the years he has crouched behind the plate for the Yankees. The toughest pitcher I ever caught was Allie Reynolds," he recalls. "He'd break an awful lot . of curves into the dirt and that's the toughest pitch to han die. Vic Raschi could be hard to handle at times but I guess the toughest now is Tom Sturdi- vant, because he throws knuckler. After the knuckler the toughest pitch, I guess, is the sinker ball." Yogi s biggest thrill was "ev ery time I won the most valu able player award." That's three of them. IT N WITH Value.... I I ANY Ktn's What We Do Jj or 1 2 Move Fi Wtoeli. la.p.cl Using.
