NEW YORK, May 26 0P
Brooklyn fans' startled reaction
to the discovery that you don't
have to be a bum to be a Dodger
merely emphasizes the fact that
Eddie Basinski is just one of a
long line of college ball players
who have made good in the big
leagues . . . Eddie is the be
spectacled youngster who came
from Buffalo university to
soothe that second base sore spot
in the Dodger infield . . . For
the benefit of those who are sur
prised to find a mere collegian
filaying good baseball, here's a
ineup of Major league siars who
had the benefits of at least some
higher education.
. -
TWO DEEP
On second thought, make it
two teams: first base, Lou Geh
rig, Columbia, or Jake Stahl,
Illinois; second, Eddie. Collins,
Columbia, or Frank Frisch, Ford
ham; third, Jimmy Collins, Can
lsius, or Joe Dugan, Holy Cross;
short, Joe Sewell, Alabama, or
Jack Collins, Holy Cross; out
field, George Sisler, Michigan;
Harry Hooper, St. Mary's; Earl
Combs, Kentucky State Teach
ers; Birdie Cree, Penn State;
Riggs Stephenson, Alabama;
Louis Sookalexis. Holy Cross
and Notre Dame; catcher, Mick
ey Cochrane, Boston U., or Bill
Carrigan, Holy Cross; pitchers,
Christy Mathewson, Bucknell;
Jack Coombs, Colby; Ed Reul
bach, Notre Dame and Vermont;
Ted' Lyons, Baylor; Chief Bend
er Carlisle; Eddie Plank, Gettys
burg, Addie Jos, Wisconsin, and
Orrie Overall, California.
A ROOKIE A DAY
Eddie Sauer, Cubs' outfielder:
kid brother of Hank, who played
quite some baseball for the Reds
. Eddie went from Elon college
Into pro ball in 1940 and hit
three homers for Akron in an
exhibition against the Yankees
... Hit .368 for Nashville last
season to lead southern associa
tion in batting, runs scored, total
bases, doubles and steals . . .
Hits a hard ball to left field but
isn't too good defensively, which
explains why Ivai Goodman has
been getting the call lately . . .
Too bad a sweet hitter has to be
a Sauer fielder.

As Referee
OKLAHOMA CITY, May 26
(p) Lou Nova, California
heavyweight who is lumbering
along the comeback trail, can
have his own manager as referee
for his fighting with Buddy
Scott, Tampa, Fla., here June
2.
That's what Scott's manager,
Eddie Sears, Chicago, said today,
and he wasn't kidding.
Nova's manager. Frank Pac-
cassi, told Fight Promoter G. M.
Byeerley he wouldn't have any
one else in the ring for the bout
except Alex Fidler of Cedar
Kapids, lowa. -However.
Sears didn't argue
but immediately suggested that
Paccassi be put in the ring as
third man.
"I'm serious. Paccassi wouldn't
dare-stop the fight unfairly. The
fans would be on nis inroat on
the spot.". .
Boxing Returns
To Madison Square
NEW YORK, May 26 (TO
Boxing returns to Madison
Square Garden tonight after an
eight-week lapse, with Heavy
weights Joe Baksi of Kulpmont,
Pa., and Le Savold of Patter
son, N. J., clashing in the 12
round headliner.
Two months ago Savold
spotted 210-pound Baksi a doz
en pounds and then took a hair
line decision from him, but the
ex-miner from Pennsylvania's
hills has a hunch he'll kayo
the New Jersey Adonis tonight.
The Broadway bettors looked
at it the same way, installing
Baksi as a 6 to 5 favorite.

Swim King
Sees Peak
In 2 Years
By FRED STABLEY
BAINBRIDGE, Md., May 26
VP) Holder of 40 world's swim
ming records and undisputed I
king of the backstroke. Ensign
Adolph Kiefer believes he won't
reach his athletic peak for an
other two or three years and
that he will be capable of top
flight competition for at least
five years more.
The Chicagoan, who holds
every world's backstroke record
between 50 yards and one mile
said today that "if a man stays
in shape, there is no reason why
he shouldn't be good until he's
30 years old."
In last night's invitation swim
ming meet at the Bainbridge na
val training station, where he is
a physical education instructor,
he bettered unofficially his own
mark for the 100-yard back
stroke as he swam the first two
thirds of the 150-yard back
stroke in :56.1, seven-tenths -of
a second under his recognized
world's record. Only one watch
was held on him for the first
100 yards, so the mark cannot
be certified.
"I surprised myself," Kieffer
said after winning the event in
1:30.8. just four-tenths of a sec
ond off his record.

Indianapolis
Auto Classic
May Go Again
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 26
(P) Grass is growing on tho
two and a half mile automobilu
race track at Speedway City and
no cars are getting -their final
tests for the 500-mile Indianapolis
speedway race a war casualty.
But, as the anniversary of tho
annual motor classic draws near,
a speedway official predicted to
day that Memorial Day's feature
sports attraction will be re
sumed "unless tho war lasts for
ever." The color and the gaiety and
the crowds will be missing for
the third consecutive year next
Tuesday and life on motordrome
grounds since the last race in
1941, has been "like living in
a house with a haunted back
yard" for Theodore (Pop) Myers,
vice president of the speedway
corporation.
But Al Rickcnbacher, a broth
er of Capt. Eddie V. Rickcn
bacher, who hos been in charge
nf the imeedwav since the last
race three years ago, said that
while "it will take a good many
months of hard work to get the
race going again, we can do It.
"The track is still In good
shape, although there's grass
growing on it. A good going
over would have it in fine
shape."
