Confident
Of '56 Flag
Milwaukee, Wis. (U.R; The
Milwaukee Braves, baseball's
most successful team in history
at the turnstiles, but runners-up
in the standings two years in a
row, opened their most critical
season today since moving here
from Boston four years ago.
Fans in Braveland expect a
National League pennant this
season, after the near-miss in
1956 when two losses in the fi
nal series with St. Louis gave
the pennant to Brooklyn by one
game.
The Braves from manager
Fred Haney to the batboy are
confident they can win the top
prize. So confident, they didn't
make any trades, or bring up
any talented rookies from their
farm teams to strengthen the
two alleged weak spots in their
lineup-second ' base and left
field.
Critics to the contrary, the
Braves' starting lineup today at
Chicago was the same one used
most of last season, including
second baseman Danny O'Con
nell and left fielder Bobby
Thomson.
The critics said the Braves

Mails Says Juvenile Delinquency
Would Be Reduced If Youngsters
t Parents Cared for Them
By SCOTT BAILLIE
San Francisco (U.R) Walter
Great) Mails, Cleveland's
iifcK-adrrutted hero of the 1920
rld Series, thinks juvenile de
Tattjuency would be reduced if
xsungsters felt that their parents
tfily cared for them.
Sme people seem too laca
d&tteical now about their chil
ftww," the debonair southpaw
today as he looked out the
Sgi&imw toward where a few
email fry were sneaking onto a
kts fhraugh the exit doors. "I've
beaa to high school graduations
where kids have shown up all
alone to get their diplomas. The
parente chose to stay home or
go some place else."
Mails, who carefully has built
his own reputation as a brash
ballplayer into a legend, said
that one of his great moments
came when he took the mound
to pitch and saw his folks in the
stands.
Liltl Leagu Helps
"Then I knew they were in
terested in me and in what I was
doing," Mails said. "It meant a
whale of a lot."
Now enjoying his second term
as publicist for the San Fran
cisco Seals, Mails made his ob
servations in the wake of recent
teenage riots which have
plagued his native Marin coun
ty about 20 miles north of here.
"Something ought to be done
about bringing families closer to
gether," he continued. "The
Little League has helped ac
complish this and we need more
projects along that line."
Mails has his own pet pro
gram which still is waiting to be
launched. He would like to form
a traveling squad consisting of
golfer Harvie Ward, swimmer
Ann Curtis, basketball Hank Lui
setti and pro football tackle Bob
St. Claire. All are established in
their field.
"They would go from school
to school telling assemblies what
sports and clean living have
done for them," Mails said. "That
would get the kids more interest
ed in 'that kind of activity in
stead of breaking laws."
Native Of San Quentin
Mails is a native of San Quen
tin, Calif., and grew up hard by
the penitentiary walls. Back in
those days, close to 50 years ago,
he would hike 10 miles with the
town team to play a ball game.
"Once we tramped about that
far to Tiburon where I lost 1-0,
in 15 innings," Mails said. "Then
we walked all the way home."
But even then, he says, the
townspeople of San Quentin had
little regard for him as a ball
player and still brushed him off
even after he had' signed with
Seattle.
He checked in later with
Cleveland during the 1920 sea
son, shortly after Ray Chapman
had been fatally beaned. Mails'
pitching helped carry the stun
ned Tribe to the pennant and he
won two games against Brooklyn
in the World Series.
Yet, by 1923, he was back in
the Coast league.
"Maybe I was just a flash in
the pan as a major league
pitcher but I'm still the best
publicist in baseball," he rumb
led. "'Nobody's got me beat."
But he wishes he also could
beat juvenile delinquency.
Webb Picked
Over Sandy
New York (U.R) Spider
Webb of Tulsa, Okla., is expect
ed to be a solid favorite over
Randy Sandy of New York when
they meet in a nationally tele
vised 10-rounder at Chicago sta
dium Wednesday in the feature
bout of this week's boxing sched
ule. . Webb, the third-ranked con
tender in his division, is con
sidered pne of the most versatile
boxer-punchers in the business
today and should be able to
handle Sandy's heavier guns.
Webb, a graduate of Comp
ton Junior college, has a record
of 21 victories, including 12
knockouts, in 22 professional
fights while Sandy, who has won
his last two bouts, has a record
of 18 victories, six losses and
one draw in 25 fights. This bout
originally was scheduled for
March 13 but Sandy withdrew
because of a hand injury suffer
ed during training. '
Mims vs. Beecham
In Miami Beach, Fla., Friday
night, still another middleweight
bout is in the offing with vet
eran Holly Mims of Washington,
D.C., facing young Jimmy Beec
ham of Miami. This bout also
will be nationally televised.
Mims, a 28-year-old boxing
stylist who's licked such good
ones as Johnny Bratton and'
Moses Ward, has a professional
record of 42 victories in 62
fights and has knocked, out 10
opponents. He beat Beecham on
Nov. 13 at Miami Beach.
The 22-year-old Beecham has
won 17 of 20 bouts and knocked
out seven opponents.
