Manager Headaches Stem From 'B1 Games By JIMMY BRESLIV ' SEA HUff Correspondent NEW YORK (NEA A cou ple of guys who learned to use their fists In places thousands of miles apart Kid Gavilan of Cam- guey. Cuba, and Carl Olson of Honolulu. Hawaii will find them selves in uncomfortably close quarters on April 2nd. That would be when Gavilan. the welterweight champion of the world, steps into the Chicago Sta dium ring and the bright lace on your living room wall in a try to lift the middlwelghtlltle from Ol.son in what appers to be one of the biggest Indoor fights of the past few years. This win be Olson s first defense of the 160-pound crown he won by beating Paddy Young of New York and Randy Turpin of England In an elimination set-up started when Ray Robinson retired. It will be Gavilan's first try for the same, title, although the Kid has had more than a few Jousts with top middlewelghts during his career. HOPEFUL Promoting international boxing club officials hopefully , say the match should rival the largest Indoor gate in history the $423,918 which Tony Zale and Rocky Gra ziano drew at the same arena In 1S47. . . A neutral box office guess would By GAYLE TALBOT TAMPA m There has been a development in spring training in the past few weeks which promises to revolutionize the entire concept of the annual southern trip within another year or two. The . "B" game, of which you might not even have heard, is going to make a lot of managers wish they had taken up another trade. Three clubs, all especially hun gry for fresh, young talent, got to gether this spring to bring the scheme to full flower, and the oth ers are bound to follow suit in a hurry. The pioneers of the full "B" team schedule are the Chicago White Sox, the Philadelphia Phils end the Cincinnati Redlegs. Their respective pilots already look, tired and worn. CHANCE What it amounts to is that each of the three clubs plays a full nine Inning game every morning, ei ther against one another or against a top minor league team. This Is entirely aside from their regularly scheduled exhibition games in the Skiers On Hand For Jumps MT. HOOD, Ore. 11 Some 60 of the nation's best ski jumpers took final practice leaps here Sat urday in preparation for the North American ski jumping cnampion ships; Sunday.. ., -,. A strong contingent of exchange students from Scandinavia is ex pected to dominate the event. Prominently mentioned is Reld r TJllevaalseter, who won Nor way's Junior Jumping crown four years In succession before coming to this country as a student at the University of Idaho- He recently won the Pacific Northwestern. Ski Assn. Jumping title. Wilbert Rasmussen. 23. nation al ski Jump champion from Ish- pemlng, Mich., Is the principal native hope. A member of the U. S. 1952 Olympic squad. Rasmussen won the national title at Iron Mountain. Mich., last month. Several of the top U.S. skiers will be missing, among them Keith Wegeman, who was this country's No. 1 -man in the recent championships in Scandinavia. Just returned from that meet, Wegeman was unable to get Army leave. He is stationed with the Ar my's cold-weather troops In Colo rado. The meet is divided into two sections, those 21 and older com. peting for the senior title, and those 16 to 20 competing for the Junior crown.' The meet is held on the shoul ders of 11,245-foot Mt. Hood, 60 miles east of Portland. Seniors will compete on an 80-meter hill, juniors on a 60-meter hill. Worberg Named To Coaching Spot JOHN DAY lid Dale Warberg, who plaved last season for the state- AAU champion Everybody's Drug basketball team. Is the new basketball and track coach at Grant Union High School here. He will be assisted in these spoils by athletic director and lootball and baseball coach. Warberg, a former University ol Oregon athlete, is a graduate of Eugene High School. . afternoon. The idea behind it is that every rookie in each of the three camps will get a chance to play a number of games under full competitive conditions, with his manager looking on, before his fate is decided. This Is a more radical depar ture than one might think. .Be. fore this, untold thousands of youngsters have Reported to train ing camp and perhaps not played an inning, except In unsatisfactory lntra-squad games, before they were handed train tickets to Alta loosa. Harried managers, trying to get their regulars In playing condition, found little opportunity to use their unknown kids in the afternoon exhibitions. They simply had to take it for granted that the boys coming up from, say, Class-B Leagues were "a year or two away" This is different. Each morning three big league managers are crawling from the hay (groan) at crack of dawn for hurried break- fasts and conferences with their respective coaches. A few hours later they are earnestly directing their young athletes, perhaps in a town many miles from where they will be managing their "A" clubs in the afternoon. REFINEMENT Paul Richards of the White Sox has added a refinement. His "B1 team on any given day might in. elude several of his leaduig stars. He wants his kids to have the op portunity of playing with, as well against, established big leaguers. This has led to some chagrin, as there have been times when neither Richards nor his ad vertised aces showed up for the afternoon's exhibition in a neigh- boring, city. ' Clubs thus wounded complain that attendance will drop off dras tically If the custom grows. As Prank Lane, the Sox general man ager, sees It, however, the small change to be picked up at this time of year Is highly unimportant compared to the stakes involved "What we are looking for are players that can help us win pennant," he says. "We don't hold spring training to make money. We've learned more about our young players in "B" games the last lew weeks than we might have learned in years before. Beavers Hold Full Scale Workout GLENDALE, Calif. UH The sun broke through after eight days of rain Friday and tne Portland Beav ers finally wera able to hold a full scale workout. ' The squad was divided Into two teams, one under Hank Arft and the other under Herm Reich, for practice game. Reich's team won 8-5, despite three Innings of no-hlt Ditching by Joe Nicholas of the Arft team. The Beavers were to play the San Diego Sailors In an exhibition game Saturday and then meet Seattle Sunday. I HOCKEY By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WES1EKN LEAGUE Frday's Results New Westminster 6.

Sports Notes Of the five tie games played dur ing 1953 in the American League. the Detroit Tigers were Involved in four- Three times they tied the Philadelphia Athletics. During the summer months Bob Bondanza, 8an Jose. State basket ball player, works on the coffee plantation owned by his parents In El Salvador, Central America. Tom - Alston, rookie first base man, is the first Negro ever to appear In a St. Louis Cardinal base ball uniform. He was purchased from San Diego in the Pacific Coast League. No one can blame infielder Alex Grammas of the Cardinals for hav ing a sweet tooth. His father is $250.000 but the amount of peo ple expected to see the match will be staggering, thanks to television. The bout is on the regular Friday night TV hookup, . with only the Chicago area blacked out. Whether you're among the IS, 000 plus at Chicago Stadium or one of the millions who will see it from TV-side, it will be worth seeing. FURY In Gavilan; you have the flash and class of a remarkable fighter. The normally placid and fun-loving Cuban fights with reckoned fury. In his last two big ones at Chi cago he ruined Chuck Davey and Johnny Bratton . Against the hard-bitten Olson, you can expect to see Gavilan at his determined best. He'll move, Jabbing with his left and then hooking the same hand. The Kid does not figure to try and slug it out with Olson on the Inside where Bobo is at his best but, rather, will stay on the outside. using the ring, and catching his man coming to him. SMART "I fight heem with thees. too, Kid says with one finger on his temple. Gavilan makes no secret that he feels he can out-think the Hawaiian once the bell rings. Olson, however, is not in the four-round class. He feints with place the figure somewhere near his head and shoulders and bores In continually throwing a three- minute . a . round combination of punches. Olson is deceiving. He doesn't give any impression of greatness. But he Is strictly business in a' ring and works overtime. Rather than clinch, he'll fire away with both hands inside. He's been scored as a weak hitter, yet had Turpin on the floor twice and knocked out Joe Rlndone in his last two fights. His right hand to the liver Is a proven strength-sapping blow. Olson's liking for plenty of ac tion was a big reason why he was rated a 2-1 favorite In early betting. Gavilan always has made his own type of fight. It usually consists of rapid, eye-catching flurries of 30 seconds or so, spaced with nearly a minute of easy cake- walking to catch his breath. He Is almost certain to find Ol son, completely agreeable to the flurrlea but a very reluctant person when it's time for those "breathing periods." Olson prob ably will do his best to keep the pace going for the full round In nls plugging style. If Gavtlon can keep Olson from turning the thing Into a punching marathon, he'll have everything going for him. But If he can't con tain the busy Hawaiian, it does not figure to be one of his most pleasant nights in a ring. Giants Hope '53 Was a Mirage By HARRY GRAYSON St. PETERSBURG, Fla (EA) Rival managers and . scouts agree that the Giants' finish last season was so bad it doesn't have to be believed. Next to the return of Willie Mays, that's the Polo Grounders' biggest hope. The acquisition of the left-hand pitchers, Johnny Antonelli and Don Liddle, gives the New York Nationals a boost, of course, but does not transcend the fact that tl players themselves know there are too many good ones among them to have won only 22 of the last 60. The Pirates did that well. Behind the pitching, the Giants are plenty capable enough, parti cularly with young Mays back. Whitey Lockman, Davey Williams, Alvin Dark and Henry Thompson compose a first class infield. The ebullient and wide-ranging Mays Is flanked by Monte Irvln and Don Mueller. Now sound of limb, Irvln is a remarkable hit ter, who moves up with men on base. The unobtrusive Mueller batted .333 last year. BIG GUY Bill Taylor, a tremendously big guy, led the Southern League In batting with .350 and during the winter whacked the ball all over Venezuela performing for Caracas Taylor is not too accomplished In the outfield up to now. However, ! he s only 23, witn two years out for the Army and his power picks him out as a young In .a with a chance to make it big. The Oiants could use a roaring bat. Behind the plate, the Giants fig ure to obtain assistance from Ray Katt, a Triple A standout the past two campaigns with Minneapolis, where he batted .328 and smacked 28 home runs last trip. The reserve list is stronger. Bil ly Klaus, from Milwaukee should stick around and a kid from Nash ville, Billy Gardner, takes Bill Rlgney's place. Always a brilliant glove man, Gardner didn't hit until lost season, when he batted 308 for Nashville. He is insurance at shortstop, where neither Klaus nor Bobby Hofman can play. BRIGHT Foxy foragers coming off the Arizona desert tell you that the brightest prospect in the Phoenix camp Is a 22-year-old shortstop named Foster Castleman, but be cause of two years in the armed forces and a knee opeation, this Jacksonville, Fla., lad has had only two seasons In the minors. The knee healed In time for him to get In 20 games with Minne apolis last fall, and he batted .368. The Giants have pitching quan ily for sure, and Johnny Antonelli k hi A J m yfamiSiaa OLD AND NEW Red Faber (left), 45, and Joe Bern (center),' 68, shows Jim Hughes how they threw' curves for the Whita Sox. Hughes is the Dodger's relief pitcher. Faber won three games from the Giants in the 1917 World Series. should get a lift from . competition. Another cheering note Is that George Spencer seems to have staged a comeback. Spencer was the club's relief ace In pennant- winning 1951, "when he won 10 and lost a and saved 10 others. Spen cer has his sinker back and fel lows like Rosy Ryan, the old right- bander, tell you that be Is again a big league pitcher. The Giants shipped Spencer to Minneapolis last year, and the experience seems to have persuaded him to take a grip on himself. . Theie are six tough clubs In the National League this season and the other two are Improved. But the Oiants themselves feel that If the pitching measures up, they're not out of it by any means. They cant be as inept as they were In playing out the string last year, and Amazin' Willie Mays is there to give them a shove.
