Suturdny night, Frank Ramsey,
who seems to bo ns good u

mo Informntlon concerning his
favorite hoop team.
The Wildcats, ho snys, havo
mada total of 241) point this
season In eight guim-s against a
total of 185 for tholr opponents.
Boiled down that gives them un
average of 31 points per game
to their rivals 10. That looks
like tho Wildcats have won
very gamo they played and
so thoy have.
They started tho season by
dropping the Academy 35-13.
After that they whipped In suc
cession Dorrls, 30-10; Keno, 2(1
15; tha high school frosh, 28 8;
Henley, 27-17; Merrill, 34-10:
Molln, 31-15; and Saturday night
Bonanza, 38-23. That's a pretty
good lino of wins, and may fore
cast lot of good material for
Wayne Scott's Pelican team next
year. ; ---" 1 '
Dick Eastman, forward, has
Qiada most of these 248 points
'Ith 53 to his credit. Other
members of Frank's first squad
are Elwyn Sllvn who has mada
98 points this season, Hank
Schortgcn with 35 points, Mar
vin Itingslaad with 31 points,
nd Bob Perkins with 20.
Ramsoy has big squad; so
ha gavo us a list of tho other
members and tha number of
points they mado. Jim Pnlmcr
made the best record of the
substitutes with 10 tallies to his
total. Ho was followed closely
by Bud Blehn with 10, Jerry
Rainwater with 10, Marvin Ellis,'
nine, Lylo Crane four, Don Do-
Main five, Don Noel five, Larry

fj Ramsey patterns his trjn

"Well, sentiment does crop up

Both were of the same weight

"It was a pretty even first

It was bleeding plenty.
"Even in the Olympics,

"At the end of the third round,
it was my hand that was raised

Globe Trotting Hoopmen
Stage Fun Tilt for Win
All Stars Lose 37-23,
Stage Football, Baseball, Track Show
The Harlem Globe Trotters staged a basketball game, a foot
ball game, and did a lot of fancy high jumping on the basketball
court at the high school, and incidentally defeated the Klamath
All Stars by a score of 37-23, in one of the funniest exhibitions
of black magic tossed on the local floor.
Phil Blohm made two points for the All Stars as the horn
ended the game by tossing the egg through the hoop where it
was promptly poked out from the bottom by high jumping black
Tatum of the Globe Trotters. The basket scored anyway.
The All Stars opened the game in a meritorious fashion by
making the first score, but they-
fell behind in the remainder of
the quarter which ended 6-10.
To give the boys a breather,
the All Stars substituted an en
tire team in the second quarter,
but they made no points, while
the Globe Trotters whipped in
17 more tallies to end the half
at 27-6. The city team was hope
lessly outclassed by the tall,
smooth-working Harlemites.
In the third quarter, the local
boys tossed In eleven points and
held the colored men to only six
tallies, but in the last quarter
the negroes showed their su
perior brand of ball by obvious
ly playing fun with the All
Stars.
They put on a baseball game
In the middle of the floor, using
a piece of paper for a bat, until
whistle-tooter Ramsey tooted
them out for holding the ball.
Thereupon they played a T for
mation football game under the
All-Star basket. They rolled the
ball on the floor, fancy hi-jump-ed
and passed circles around the
local men, still handling the pill
so well the All Stars never got
a good opportunity to make
points. It was a fine exhibition
of ball-handling, and the game
ended 37-23 for the Globe Trot
ters. ' '
In contrast to the fun-making
main event, the preliminary tilt
was a close, hard-fought, earnest
game of real basketball. The
Victory league Baptists finally
eked out a second overtime win
with a 29-27 score over the
Guerillas.
The game ended tied at 23-25.
In the first five-minute over
time period, Frank Michaelson
of the Baptists and Jess House
of the Guerrillas made two
points each to tie the game
again at 27-all. In the second
overtime period where the
first basket wins Michaelson
dropped the ball through the
ring for a Baptist victory.

May Be Late
Baseball Sees Wacky Year
Ahead; Managers Condon
Lata Appearance far Start
By JUDSON BAILEY
NEW YORK, Jan. 19 VP)
Holdouts may go out of fashion
in baseball this year, but just as
a rose by any other name is, etc.,
a lot ot the major league stars
will be sure to be late reporting
at spring training camps.
It is going to be a wacky sea
son from start to finish and one
of the strange slants is that man
agers not only will condone
training tardiness for some ot
their players, they will recom
mend it.
This is because many ball play
ers make their winter homes in
sunny climes, particularly Flor
ida and California, and cpn get
in shape better at home than
by hastening to northern training
camps.
Paul Waner, veteran outfield
er of the Boston Braves, is in
this class, in fact, he probably
will be at the head of the class.
Big Poison, who will be 40
April 16, lives at Sarasota, Fla.,
and it would take a convoy to
get him to Wallington, Conn.;
the Braves' training base, in the
middle of March. Waner may
work with John Cooney, 41-year-old
teammate, who also lives at
Sarasota.
Paul Derringer, 36-year-old
dean of the Cincinnati Reds'
pitchers, is another member ot
Sarastao's baseball colony and a
likely late arrival when the
Reds begin work at Blooming
ton, Ind.
Bill Dickey, . catcher for tne
New York Yankees, lives at Lit
tle Rock, Ark., and in recent
years has been in no hurry to
get to Florida, so obviously isn't
going to lead the way lmo As
bury park this spring.
It's a cinch that Carl Hubbell
can take his own time leaving
his home at Oklahoma City to
join the New York Giants at
Lakewood, ti. J, too.
Jack Callura
New Feather
Weight King
By SID FEDER ; ;
PROVIDENCE,: R. I., Jan. -19
VP) A lot of folks will teU
you today that Jackie Callura
is the new head man -ot the
featherweights: at least part
of 'em but the champ is
really your old Uncle Samuel.
There's no doubt that the
little belting bull from Canada
climbed all over Pittsburgh
Jackie Wilson to take the Na
tional Boxing association's por
tion of the 126-pound crown in
the Providence arena last night,
but now he has to wait on your
old uncle's say-so before he's
going to be able to find out
what he can do with It.
For, Uncle Sam already has
the finger on Wilson, who has
been guaranteed first shot at
Callura s crown, and he also has
his eagle eye on Willie Pep, the
whizz-bang from Connecticut,
who has the title blessing of tne
New York State Athletic com
mission.
Callura last night not only
won, but was the boss of tha
show from start to finish, ex
cept for a short stretch from
the third through the seventh
sessions, when the Pittsburgh
negro out-boxed him. The gross
gate was $12,983.80.
