High Scorers
Los Angeles There'll be a
host of high scorers and indi
vidual record holders from the
National Basketball association
on hand when Boston and the
Major League All-Stars collide
in their far western professional
tour.
The tour opens April 15 at
Veterans' Memorial auditorium
in Des Moines, la., and comes
to Oregon State College's Gill
coliseum on April 20.
Five of the NBA's eight lead
ing 1957 scorers will be on the
teams with the Major League
All-Stars holding a slight edge.
Syracuse's Dolph Schayes fin
ished as the loop's number three
icorer with 1617 points for a
22.5 average. This marked the
fifth straight year the Nationals'
ace tallied over 1,000 points
and his seventh in eight years of
NBA play.
Johnston 1575
Right behind Schayes is Phila
delphia's Neil Johnston, who
ripped the nets for 1575 mark
ers, this despite seeing limited
mid-season service due to an
injury. . His 22.8 average was
third best. Johnston has won
three NBA scoring champion
ships. Fort Wayne's George Yardley
ranked fifth with 1547 points.
Boston's Bill Sharman and Bob
Cousy were seventh and eighth
with 1413 and 1319 points, re
spectively. Johnston was tops in field
goal shooting percentage (.447)
with Fort Wayne's Bob Hou
bregs (.432) and Boston's Bill
Russell (.427) ranking third and
fourth.
Other 1957 NBA leaders are
Sharman, highest free throw
percentage, 381 of 421 for a
.905 mark, and Cousy, the assist
champ with 478. Schayes con
nected on 625 of 691 attempts
to set an NBA record for most
free throws scored.

Dupas Stops Martinez
After Race Charges
New Orleans (U.R) Ralph
Dupas, New Orleans lightweight,
says he won Monday night's
bloody and bruising 10-rounder
over welterweight Vince Mar
tinez of Paterson, N. J., to show
appreciation to his hometown
supporters.
Dupas, who upset Martinez in
a decision bout, fought viciously
and led an attack that Martinez
couldn't stop with his slashing
left jabs.

ing 141V4 pounds at fight time,

Dutch Giant
To Battle
John Holman
Portland U.R) Ewart Pot
gieter, a giant who hopes to con
tinue his climb up . the heavy
weight boxing ladder, and John
ny Holman, a battler who hopes
to return to his former prom
inence in ring circles, clash here
Tuesday night in a scheduled
10-round bout.
Potgieter's appearance will be
his first since he knocked out
Bruce Olson and sent him to
the hospital with serious in
juries. The 7-2 South African of
Dutch descent will be facing one
of his toughest tests in Holman.
Holman ranked high on the
heavyweight list until he was
knocked out by Eddie Machen
in Portland's nationally-televised
fight last fall.
A 10-round lightweight bout
between Larry Vasquez of Mexi
co and Billy Walker of Oakland,
Calif., also is on the card.

Ontario, Calif. U.R The
San Diego Padres battled the
luckless Los Angeles Angels
Tuesday in the final exhibition
of the spring series for both
teams.
The Padres Monday were eked
out, 4 to 3, by Portland. The
Angels, last year's PCL cham
pions, worked out Monday at
Wrigley Field in an attempt to
iron out problems before the
leagjue opens Thursday.
San Diego also has worries.
Outfielder Harrv Elliott hrnkp

Montreal (U.P.) Coach
Milt Schmidt of the Boston
Bruins confidently predicted his
underddg team "will win" Tues
day night and even the Stanley
Cup finals against the Montreal
Canadiens at one game apiece.
"Naturally, I think we're go
ing to win, said Schmidt, whose
Bruins fooled many observers
by eliminating the league-leading
Detroit Red Wings in five
games during their semi-final
series. "If I didn't, what kind of
a coach do you think I'd be?"
Meanwhile, coach Joed Blake
of the Canadiens continued to
complain about the wagering
edds, which for the second con
secutive series have established
the Habitants as prohibitive fa
vorites. Cleveland (U.P.) The
Cleveland Barons will play host
to the Rochester Americans as
the final round of the American
Hockey League playoffs gets
under way Tuesday night.
Rochester, fielding its first
team in the AHL, will rule as
the sentimental favorite. The
Americans, after flirting with
the cellar for a good part of the
season, hit stride in the last few
weeks to tie for second place.
In the initial Calder cup appear
ance, Rochester beat defending
titleholder Providence in five
games to gain the final round.
The Barons have been the
most successful club in league
history. Winner of the champ
ionship cup several times in 21
years, Cleveland will depend on
its "GEM" line of Fred Glover,
Bo Elik and Jimmy Moore to
end Rochester's surge. The Bar
ons outlasted Hershey 4 games
to 3 in the semi-final round.
Following Tuesday night's big
clash, the teams will continue
their best-of-seven series in Ro
chester Wednesday, in Cleve
land on Saturday and back' in
Rochester on Sunday.

er," as he carried the fight to the
H6V2 pound Jersey fighter. "I
won this one for the hometown,"
Dupas said.
Dupas said he was deeply
touched when public sentiment
apparently rallied around him
last week when he successfully
fought charges that he was a
Negro and ineligible to box
whites in Louisiana.
A section of the state Health
Department asked the state Box
ing Commission to invoke a 1956
law against Dupas after Dupas'
racial background was chal
lenged. The law prohibits mixed
athletic contests.
But after hearings held a week
ago, the commission okayed
Monday night's fight and refus
ed to validate the racial charges.
The fight in wind-swept Peli
can Stadium was delayed briefly
at the beginning when Dupas
kneeled in the ring to receive a
blessing from a Roman Catholio
priest standing near the press
table.
Martinez' trainer, Whitey Bim
stein, thought the decision was
a "hometown" decision.
The Jersey fighter said he
thought he won seven rounds.
Dupas said he felt he outboxed
Martinez in at least six rounds.
The fight was scored 5-4-1,
4-4-2 and 6-3-1, Dupas.

move to the Arena Tuesday night
for quarter-final competition and
if the action continues the way
Monday night's ended then fans
are in for an exciting show.
There hadn't been a knockout
all evening through 28 three
round fights as the elimination
bouts at the Garden went into
the heavyweight division. Then
the fun began.
Willie Kimble, a tremendous
Negro from Cleveland, got the
first kayo by putting Reidy Dav

of the second round.
Boston heavyweight Lee Wil
liams sent the partisan fans
home on a happy note, clubbing
De Witt Lee of Buffalo, N.Y., to
a third round knockout with a
savage, two-fisted attack, in the
night's final bout.
Defending 112-pound titlist,
Albert Pell of New York City,
ousted highly-regarded Tien

Pell was one of four New York

on opening day.
The seven are Kubek, Valdes,
White Sox outfielder Jim Landis,
Kansas City second baseman
Milt Graft, Giant shortstop
Andre Rodgers, first baseman
Bob Bowman of the Phillies and
possibly outfielder Bobby Gene
Smith of the Cardinals. -Kubek
Everybody's Choice
Kubek is everybody's choice
as the Rookie of the Year. At
this early date, Valdes, a 22
game winner with Portland last
season, stands as his top rival.
Eddie Joost and Lefty O'Doul
both named him as the top Pa
cific Coast league graduate.
The Yankees are keeping three
others who may make it big,
namely infielders Bob Richard
son and Woddy Held and pitcher
Al Cicotte. Brooklyn, too, ex
pects much from southpaw Fred
Kipp, a 20-game winner at Mon
treal, while catcher John Rose
boro, stymied behind Roy Cam
panella and Rube Walker, prob
ably will return to the minors
for more seasoning. If Campy
fails, Roseboro will return via
air mail.
Rodgers has been getting a
lot of raves from the Giants but
there is a needling question as
to whether he will hit. Staying
up with him is Curt Barclay, a
15-game winner at Minneapolis.
Four Promising Phils
The Phililes, in addition to
Bouchee and Bowman, , are ex
pecting hurling help from Don
Cardwell and Seth Morehead.
Pittsburgh looks to - infielder
John Powers while the Cards, in
addition to Smith, count on
pitchers Bob Mabe and Tom
Cheney and second baseman Ed
die Kasko.
Over in the American League,
two fine catchers are standing
disconsolately in line awaiting
their chances. One is Haywood
Sullivan of the Red Sox and the
other is Earl Battey, up from
Toronto to the White Sox.
Cleveland expects more pitch
ing help from southpaw Bud
Daley, 11-1 at Indianapolis, and
Stan Pitula, who had a 15-4
mark with the same club. They
are also looking hard at out
fielder Roger Maris and infield
er Larry Raines.
Washington's main rookie
hope is pitcher Dick Hyde, who
had a 15-6 year at Chattanooga.
All in all, it's a rather slim
rookie crop.
