By-ORLO ROBERTSON -
Associated Press Sports Writer .
l'raak Thomas, a 200-poi.naV six

When Kiner was araded to the
Chicago "Cubs last year, , the 24-year-old
native of Pittsburgh took,
over the sluggingchores. When the'
season was over the records
showed he had hit 30 home runs,
driven In 102 and batted .255.-
And now Thomas is at it again.
He clouted two home runs yester
day as the Pirates routed the
Milwaukee Braves 26-11 in an ex
hibition game at Bradenton, Fla.
The two circuit- blows ran his total
for the last three games to lour.
CATCHING . ,! .
Thomas'- clouting, seems to have
been catching for the Pirates, gen
erally picked to finish in the Na
tional League cellar- the third
straight year. The Bucs connected
with six homers against the Braves
to run their total to 15 in their
last three games. Sid Cordon, ob

AUGUSTA, Oa. Wi "Here

That cry took on a double mean
ing Saturday in the. 15th Women's
Titleholders Oolf Tournament.
Not only was it the watchword
of r the galleries, it also was a
warning that Mildred Dldrikson
Zaharias had found the range and
was gunning for her fourth Title
holders crown and her third suc
cessive victory on the winter golf
circuit.
Atlanta's Louise Suggs held a
two-stroke lead at 144 going into
Saturday's third round of the 72

in close pursuit.

NEW YORK (NEA) There's

It's a fact that the contortionists

CONTRAST
Contrast the desultory crowds at
the fights each Friday night in
Madison Square Garden with the
sellout crowds that greet Verne
Gagne and his barefoot sidekick
from Argentina, Antonlno Rocca,
every time they trade growls in
the same arena.
Among the ethnic groups that
populate sports, there are none
mere delightful than the wrest
lers. Lisping Lou Thesz can de
scribe the functions of the deltoid
muscle with more aplomb than a
street-corner vendor.
Satchel Paige may credit his
longevity to the fact he doesn't
sn-irj' up the blood. But Kola

still performs on the mat, can

BUM!
Anent Hickman, Kwerlanl has a
quaint dismissal term:. "He's a
bum!"
Tne knockers, of wrestling also
tend to overlook the delightful
people who populate, the tin-ear
arenas and who have made Jack
Brickhouse their Arthur Godfrey.
wno would deny a pacifist
grandma a night off from her
knitting needle , to release her
paranoia, with a hall of invective
directed at villainous Hans
Schmidt? Or, on a particularly
uninhibited night, clout him over
the head with a folding chair?
At 100 grand a year, Hans isn't
kicking. ,
SCHISM
And how about that diverting
schism Gagne created among the
population of Blnghamton, N.Y.
They go lor him, young and old,
up there. But in the Btnghamtan
fan club dedicated to the idoliza
tion of Gagne, the young people
didn't like the encroachment of
their elders, so huffily formed their
own group.
Now we have Verne Gagne
Club No. 1 and Verne Gagne Club
No. 2 .
That beats even Eddie Fisher.
But, you might ask. is it dedi
cated to the perpetration of
sport?
Now let's not spoil all the fun.
