Willie Keeler, the remarkable little man who con tributed the sage advice to "hit 'cm where Uicy ain't" to baseball lore, stood only 6 feet 4 and weighed but 140 pounds, yet he was large enough to post a bat ting average ol .345 during his 10 years ot outfleldlng in the big leagues. Johnny Evers, member ot the famous Tinker to Evers to Chance double-play combination, was even smaller than Willie, though. If you want to Judge them on weight alone. The pugnacious second base man curried only 135 pounds on his 5 feet Inches over an 18-year span and was by far the thinnest athlete yet to be incarcerated In the Buscbnll Hall of Fame at Cooperatown. The largest member of that sel ect company appears to have been the famous Adrian (Cap) Anson, who weighed in at 220 pounds while inflelding and managing, irostly lor the Chicago Cubs, from 1876 to 1807. Babe Ruth Is listed al a mere 215, along with Uncle Wllbert Robinson, but many ad mirers ol the pair will contend they were given a short count. The three tallest specimens among the 64 superstars whose plaques adorn the walls ot the bn.-cbull shrine were Dizzy Dean. Ifty Bob Grove and Cy Young, ail pitchers and all measuring 6 feel 3. The late Herb Pennock, cno ol Uie greatest ot Uie left handers, weighed 165 pounds and u much the lightest of the mod ern group of pitchers In the hall. He and Young had the longest curcers In Uie big show, 22 years each. If there's anything to be learned from these facts snd figures culled from a handsome pamphlet pre pared by Sid Keener, custodian of Uie Coopcrstown gallery, It seems to be that there's no such snlmal as an average ballplayers. One notes from Uie chart, though, that U.cy average a good deal larger these days than they did around the turn ot Uie century. Rabbit Maranvillc's 6 feet 6 and 146 pounds would not have been con sidered unusually small 40 or 50 years ago. and Paul Waner's 6 tect 8' 2 would have made him quite a big teller. It cornea as no great surprise t.) learn that a player named Ty Cobb posted Uie highest lifetime butting average among the Im mortals, .367. but It was news to this writer Uiat the reverd Connie Mi.ck set the lowest mark with a biasing .249 and powered only four homers during his 11 years behind the plate.

A race featuring the lour fastest milers in the world, including Roger Bannis ter, the lanky Britain who cracked the 4-mlnute barrier last Thursday, may be In the offing. Oeorge Duthle, sports director of the Canadian National Exhibi tion, aald Monday he has started arrangements toward making the race a reality. He said If possible It would be held In Toronto late this summer. In addition to Bannister, who ran the world's fastest mile, In 3:59.4 at Oxford University, the field would be made up of Austral- la's John Landy, Wes Santee of the University of Kansas and Mur ray Halburg of New Zealand. Landy's best time for the dis tance Is 4:02. Santee has been clocked at 4:02.4 and Halburg at 4:04.2.

Cleon - Up Time. Offering Our Special: ONLY Phent 4113 wA Mi p f m Sparando Makes Bowling Look Easy To Beginners By JIMMY BRESLIN NKA Staff Correspondent NEW YORK (NEA) The bowlers who were strolling Into Sparando's Lanea at Rego Park, Long Island, didn't seem inter ested at all by the news that Uie proprCitor, Tony Sparando, had Just been announced the winner ol bowling's major singles cham pionship. They were more Interested In getting an alley lor themselves than going over to the bespectacled Sparando, who was sitting In a booth alongside Uie bar. The 300 game he had rolled while winning the American Bowling Congress Singles Cham p.onship in Seattle hardly entered their conversation. People In these parts, you see, take It lor granted that whenever Sparando goes to the line he Is going to take It all. But the rest of the nation's 20 mlllton bowlers still can't get used to the fact Uiat Sparando beat every name bowler In Uie nation. The 300 game excited them but not nearly as ' much as the IrtCt that Sparando has a defective right eye. "I hurt my eye in an accident a couple of years back, but it doc-an t bother me a bit." Tony says. "I Just roll as anybody else would." The veteran kegler dismiss es this vision problem Just as simply as he passes off that 300 made In his first game in the tournament and the whole business ol bowling. "Bowling." says Tony, "Is a simple thing. You take this young kid I saw a couple of years ago. He had a tape measure and was measuring the distance to the foul line from where he was. Then he'd take his turn and bowL "I asked him what be was doieg. He tells me be Just finished reading a book and Uie book said to get rid of Uie ball at a certain distance from the foul line. He said be wanted to be sure he was doing Just that. "That kid was crazy. There's no such thing as a hard and fast rule to bowling. You Just do what comes naturally to you. Any way is good as long as It's legal and knocks down a lot of pins." This elementary approach to what, if you listen to many, can be a complicated, term-filled game appears to - be surprising. A check of the memory recalls top- notchers in nearly every sport re ducing their feats, verbally, to the point where you gather that it is the simplest thing In the world to hit a golf ball as well as Ben Hogan or make a double play pivot in Uie Pee Wee Reese manner. "You've got to get pleasure out ol bowling," stresses Sparando. "The minute you begin to work at it Uie entire thing is no good and your score will show it. "The big thing is to be com fortable have the ball you like, the shoes which are the rftost com fortable for you and the style best for you," Bowling, if you listen to the 1954 ABC singles champion, who beaded the Ronson Lighter team, is Just an easy litUe thing. Melbourne Gets Olympics ATHENS lifl The 1956 Olym pic Games were assured Tuesday lor Melbourne. The last obstacle to staging the games in Australia was removed when the International Olympic Committee voted by a two-thirds majority to hold the equestrian events at a site to be selected later. There had been considerable agi tation that the games be taken from Melbourne because of the Austral ian law which prohibits the im portation of horses until alter a six-month quarantine. The law. which the Australians refuse to change, virtually eliminates the possibility of holding the full Olym pic equestrian schedule.
