Durocher Loses 1st Argument Br FRED DOWN United Press International Baseball's spring training season is official - Leo Duro- cher lost hi first argument with an umpire. It was only the Los An geles Dodgers' first Intra- squad game Sunday but there was Leo, back in harness after five years, managing one of - the squads from the third base coaching box - and up to an old trick. In familiar fashion Leo began to dub out the white lines marking the coaching box and then wander along the third base line at will. Over the years the ex-Brook- - lyn and New York Giant pilot has pulled the same trick de fying countless umpires in an i. effort to steal a sign or gain some other advantage. Umpire Thumbs Leo Plate Umpire Jim Duncan Is slated to do his umpiring in the Class D Midwest league this year but the fellows who'll be playing in it might just as well understand here and now that they're not go ing to get away with any- thing. The rules state that the coach must remain within the limits of his prescribed area and the umpire is supposed .to enforce the rules. . Duncan warned Durocher. No dice. He warned him again. : Still no dice. And so, with further ado, the Class D um pire swept up his right arm with thumb skyward end bounced a guy who' defied umpires, commissioners and . players for 30 years out of the game! v B, A-2 District Laurels At Stake This Week End Crucial games are in Class A-2 and B circles this week as high school basketball sea son closes out on Southern Oregon floors.

Houk suggested Sunday that Mantle could assume the field lep-'hlp of the New York Y : in a quiet style siml k . Joe DIMaggio ' '. his heyuey. Despite his admitted brilliance, Mantle never has assumed the kind of leader ship to which Houk referred. "If Ralph thinks I can do it, then I'll certainly do all I can," Mickey said Monday when he started to train two days ahead of schedule. "I'm ready to do anything I can to help the club and if Ralph thinks I can do something along those lines I'm very happy to do it." Then Mantle stepped into the batter's box and showed what he really does naturally -hit.

Time lagged in team steer roping until Larry and Dick Perry teamed to make a head and heels catch in 9.6 seconds. The spring weather and In creasing popularity of team roping was evidenced by a sizeable crowd. Earl Head, Shady Cove, Is leading the points race for the trophy saddle being donated by Gibson saddlery. Rlgney's horizons - and a minor one, indeed,-!s a couple of holdouts. When veteran right-handed hurler Ned Oarver came to terms with general manager Fred Haney Monday for an undisclosed salary, the list of draftees who have not yet signed contracts dwindled to two. Haney expects Cuban first baseman Julio Becqucr, draft ed from Washington, to join the fold in short order, but has apparently given up hope on Bob Davis, a pitcher as signed from the Athletics Davis, a Yale graduate, wants to complete a masters' degree at Columbia.

Their scheduled 15-round fight will be televised nation ally by ABC, but the promot ers in blacked out Las Vegas expect 8,000 fans at the Con vention Center. If Fullmer wins, he may try to force a fight with Paul Pender of Brookline, Mass, for the undisputed champion ship.
