Tip From An Ex - Insider
Will Be Toughies in National
By GEORGE KIRKSEY
TAMPA, Fla., March 18 (UP)
The man who knows the St.
Louis Cardinals better than any
body outside their own organ
ization says they are going to
be mighty tough to head off in
the National league pennant
race. He's Ray Blades, who al
most led the Cards to a pennant
in 1939 but is now one of Bill
McKechnie's chief lieutenants
with the Cincinnati Reds.
"I'm familiar wit:, most of the
players on the St. Louis club,"
Blades said before today's game
with the Giants. "The majority
of them played under me, and
most of the rest I knew in the
minors. It's my observation
that the Cards will be tough to
beat all right. But it's also my
guess that they'll be in a little
trouble If anything should hap
pen to catch Gus Mancusco. He
did a fine job for ' them last
year and is a more important
man on that club than Is goner
a1' supposed.
"Mind you, I'm not saying the
Cardinals will win the pennant
but they are going to cause a
lot of trouble. I don't like to
compare clubs, but I think the
Reds, Cardinals and Dodgers all
have their strong points. With
Cincinnati it's nitchlne and de-
fense, Brooklyn has a more sea
soned team and fellows -who can
hit the ball over the fence. The
Cards have the speed, all-round

winner for Rickys, was the
league's highest scorer of the
season, .racking up 144 points
in 12 games. This is the second
year in the league and second
year on the all-stars for Put
nam, former star athlete for
Keno high school.
Russell Marshall of the Dor
ris Townies completes the
squad. Marshall was not in the
league last year but altogether
has won his way into the all
stars three times. He recently
completed a course in physical
education at the University of
Oregon and may find his way
int a coaching job soon.
All five men were somewhere
in the top 10 in total scoring
for the year and were shining
lights on defense as well.
Kovacs Defeats

SALT LAKE CITY, March 18

Bobby Riggs 1-8, 6-1, 6-3 Tues
day night in the feature match

In the other singles match
Don Budge defeated Les Stoe

"Musial looks like a great hit

when it may hurt the club like

Angeles negro lightweight,
scored his 20th consecutive pro

Casey Cops St. Patrick's
Day Victory Over Brazil
By ART BREMER
What started out as a fall for Cyclone Cy Williams turned
out to be victory for Vincent Lopez last night In the armory main
event and started another battle In which spectators and folding
chairs figured prominently.
The two main eventers, both
for the rules, did little actual wrestling and much squirming and
slamming In the legal part of their battle. They fought on even
terms but the crowd was all for Lopez.
Cyclone Cy finally got Lopez ;
in a hammerlock that made the
former Idaho university giant
give up. Cy liked his hammer
lock so well, however, after re
ceiving several haymokcrs'from
that same arm earlier in the
bout, that he refused to quit
yanking.
Referee Earl Yoaklcy prompt
ly reversed his decision and gave
the fall to Lopez as soon as he
could pry Williams off. Williams
gave vent to his opinion of the
ruling by tossing the 227-pound
Lopez over the ropes and bat
ting him back when he tried to
climb In again. Yoakley dived
out and gave Lopez another fall
and the match, holding Williams
at bay with an upraised chair.
Lopez got in his final act by
tossing a chair Into the ring at
Williams, who was disarmed just
in time to keep him from throw
ing It back. Another chair in the
hands of one of the spectators
dissuaded Williams from climb
ing out of the ring and continu
ing the fracas. After some min
utes of wrangling with the mill
ing audience Williams went to
the showers.
The feature bout of the even
ing was won, as it should have
been on St. Patrick's day, by
Jim Casey, doughty lad from Kll
larney with massive shoulders
topping 223 pounds of muscle. In
sad disregard for tradition, Casey
wore purple tights but that didn't
spoil his Irish luck in tossing
Pedro Brazil of South America
for two out of three falls.
Casey proved light on his feet
for all his bulk and had the bet
ter of the going until he won the
first fall In the second round on
a couple of flying marcs and a
press.
Brazil came back shortly after
ward with a pair of backward
catapults that evened things up
at one fall each, but when he at
tempted to repeat that perform
ance Casey refused to be cata
pulted and put Brazil down for
the count with a hcadstand.
The opening bout matched the
Montreal Frenchman, Andre
Adoree, against Am Kallio, a
Finnish lad. After much Ineffect

Diving for Lost si
Golf Balls Now
Big Business J
Br E. V. W. JONES
MIAMI. Fla., March 18 (P)
The rubber crisis has boosted
the retrieving of gulf balls from
water hazards Into the realm of
a big business which today re
ceived official recognition from
tlin Professional Golfers' associa
tion. Fred Corcoran, tournament
manager for tho PGA, entered
an agreement with three men
who luive retrieved as many as
79,000 lost bulls in a single day.
Their sulvugo operations in
water holes on golf links aver
ages them about SO0.OOO balls a
ycur.
They uso a diver's helmet
by a giisollne-drlvcn air punVJ
and, if the pickings are good,
move In a dredge that lifts balls
by the hundreds from their hid
ing places. They estimate thai
sonic golf courses have as many
as 1,000,000 lost balls In water
holes today, and any number
have up to 800,000.
'That's not potoloes," said
Corcoran. "That may mean the
continuation of golf as recrea
tion for many hundreds of peo
plo who otherwise would have
to quit. Retrieved balls can be
used for practice or for shots
where a good ball might be lost,
and the new ones saved for real
play."
