Boudreau Hopes For 6th Place ; - HARVEY, 111. (UP) Lou BOU-t- drcau figures his Kansas City Athletics are the best "second di i vision" club in the American ' '- League, but he has little hopes of linishing higher than sixth again ' in 1956. "Let's fac It," Boudreau said. 7 "This league has five first divl sion clubs and three in the second k division. I think we're the dark Ahorse team in the second divl " sion, but I don't see how we can ,;pass any of last year's top five a New ' York, Cleveland, Chicago, '"'Boston and Detroit). "I think we'll have a first dtvl '"rsion ball club in two or three 1 years, but our goal will be sixth n again In 1956." " WEAKEST SPOT "i "We'll be stronger if we can lm ' prove our pitching, by far our "r weakest spot last year.

"; Best bets to stick, he thought, '""Vera Lou Kretlow, who once "had it" in the majors. "" "Lou had a real good season "last year on the Pacific Coast," " Boudreau said, "and I hope he's ' ready to go again in the majors." "Then we've got Jack Crimian, Toronto's best pitcher last year, 1 and Glenn Cox from Montreal, 'Boudreau said. "Either one could 'make it. . ' "Bobby Shantz, of course. Is our biggest hope. He had another checkup at Johns Hopkins Hospi ,; tal and his left arm was pro "hounced as sound as it was in . 1,!1952, when he won 24 and lost 7. Shantz and Arnold Portocarrero Were the two big "Us". If Porto 1 'carrero doesn't have arm trouble, ' and Shantz can take his regular ' turn, "we could surprise a lot of ' people," Boudreau said.

Bums Ink Pitchers To Contracts By United Press Tommy Byme, who discovered a "new pitch" the strike at the age of 36, and 23-year old Roger Craig signed 1956 contracts today as the champion New York Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers stepped up their winter activities. Byrne was the second Yankee to agree to terms while Craig and rookies Don Elston and Chuck Templeton, who also signed, in creased the list of satisfied Dodg ers to an even dozen. In Detroit, meanwhile, pitcher Ned Oarver strolled into the Ti gers' offices and came to terms a few minutes after office person nel dug his contract out of a stack that had been prepared for the mails. Byrne, one-time "wild man" of the American League, led the cir cuit in percentage with a 16-5 rec ord last season and was one of the key players In the Yankees' pennant-winning campaign. Byrne will be honored for the "comeback of the year" Sunday night by the Chicago chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America and on Monday night will be in Baltimore to be honored by the Baltimore Professional Baseball Players' Assn. Some 12 years ago Byrne Joined the Yankees as a tremendous "stuff pitcher" but was too wild to win consistently. He hung on with the Yankees, drifted back to the minors and then returned last year with the old speed and sharp-breaking curves gone but blessed, for the first time in his life, with control. Byrne beat the Dodsrers in the second game of the World Series but lost the decisive game to John ny Podres' 2-0 shutout. Craig, brought up to the Dodgers In mid-season when the key mem bers of Manager Walt Alston's staff were hobbled with arm ail ments, compiled a 6-3 regular-sta-son record and then beat the Yank ees. 5-3, in the fifth game of the series. Garver. 30. had a 12-16 record for the Tigers. , .

Light burn said his best blows landed on Lopes' body. Lopes, sucking on a chunk of ice in his dressing room, thought the winner did the most damage with a right upnercut to the chin. Both Lopes and Lighlburn agreed the loser's best was a second round right to the head. "He caught me with a good one," said Lightburn. Judge Toby Irwin scored It 58-52 and Judge Eddie James 56-54. both for Lightburn. Referee Jack Silver had it WrH't for Lopes. Lightburn slipped to one knee during the second-round and was pushed down by Silver when the referee broke up a burst of blows after the eighth-round bell. Both men had trouble seeing out of their left eyes at the end. Light burn said his cut came from a butting in the fifth. Lopes started showing a mouse in the fifth and had a cut under it later.

Nasty spills on the treacher ous slopes wrecked American chances. Tony Sailer. 21-year-old member of a famous Austrian skiing fam ily, beat out America's Wallace (Bud i Werner in the men's down hill race by recording the excellent time of 2 minutes, 57.8 seconds. Werner, 19, from Steamboat Springs, Colo., zipped down the course in 3 minutes and half a second to finish a surprise runner up. Sonja Sperl, star of the German team, seized women's honors by shooting down the precipice in 2 minutes, 48 seconds. She barely beat out a freckle-faced Canadian girl, Lucile Wheeler, timed in 2.48.2. Catherine (Katy) Rodolph, U.S. Olympic hopeful from Reno, Nev., was injured when she tumbled on the hazardous "Ganslern" stretch of the slope.

Andrea Mead Lawrence of Par shall, Colo., winner of two gold medals In the 1952 Olympics, also suffered a spill at the start of the race and came up with a bloody nose. Comisky Talking Deals With Nats CHICAGO I Chuck Comis key. vice president of the Chicago White Sox. says he and Cal Grif fith, president of the Washington Senators, have talked about a pos sible deal but nothing developed. "Cal and I talked for a long time," said Comiskey Friday, "and it boils down to this. They want a left-handed-hitting outfield er and we want a pitcher." "I told him we had Jim Rivera and Cal Abrams." continued Co miskey, "and he was interested in Rivera. I don't blame him for be ing Interested In Rivera but I told him he'd have to start talking about front line players If he want ed Rivera." , Comiskey said Griffith told him he'd have to talk to Manager Cbvc!: Dresseo first and then con tinue hi conferences with the New York Yankees. m charity tosses for the Ducks and then connected with a layin to give Oregon a 63-59 lead. Duane Asplund almost pulled the game out of the fire for the Bears. He tipped in a field goal and was fouled while scoring. He made the free throw and the score went to 63-63 Oregon. The Ducks tried to freeze the ball with nine seconds remaining in the game but Asplund was fouled In the process. California lost the game when both of Asp lund's free throw attempts missed. Earl Robinson of Cal topped the scorers with 27 points. Southern California found the early going easy against the OSC Beavers and left the floor at the half in possession of a 32-25 lead. Oregon Stage threatened at the start of the second half and trimmed the Trojan lead. The Tro jans regained their composure in the final stages of the game, how ever, and were in complete com mand at the final buzzer. Southern California's Jack Lov rlch was the game's high scorer with 19 points. Saturday's schedule called for the same pairing, with all but the Southern Cal-Oregon State game night affairs. The latter will be an afternoon, televised affair. L Doby ChiSox1 Flag Key ST. LOUIS. Mo. (UP) Marty Marlon, whose Chicago White Sox finished behind New York and Cleveland In the 1955 American League pennant race, believes Larry Doby will be the key man for his club this year. Marion blamed a lack of long ball power for the Sox' failure to go all the way last season and ex pected Doby to supply the punch they needed so much. "There's a lot more to It than the runs he can drive in," Marlon said. "Doby In the lineup gives us a much better balanced ball club. Last year we weren't much of a threat from the left side but Doby and Minnie Minoso will sup ply a real one-two punch, from the left and right. "Besides," he went on, "If you have a man like Doby coming up with men on the bases it's likely to change the strategy of the op position. The Intentional pass can sometimes break up the game." CONFIDENCE Marty, who had to give up his shortstop. Chico Carrasquel, and Jim Busby to obtain Doby from the Cleveland Indians, professed confidence that rookie Louie Apa- riclo could plug the gap at short. "He's got great Daseoau in stinct," Marlon said. "He can run and has a fine arm. As tar as his hittlng's concerned, how much Is enough? If he comes through defensively as I think he will, a low average wouldn't han dicap him. But he has hit well wherever he's played and his managers were all high on him as a batter." The way Marlon sees his open ing lineup, it will be Walt Dropo at first, Nellie Fox at second. Aparlcio at short, George Koll at third, Sherm Lollar catching, and Minoso, Doby and Jim Rivera In the outfield. "Like any other manager, I consider pitching my biggest problem,' Marlon said. "My three mainstays are Billy Pierce, Dick Donovan and Jack Harshman, and I'll have to find a couple of other starters from a group that in- eludes Harry Byrd, Connie jonn- son, Sandy Consuegra, Mike For- neieles and Dixie Howe." Present plans, according to Ma rlon, call for bullpen work for Joe Dahlke, who was a sensational re lief pitcher for Memphis last year. Earl Battey, from Charleston. SC., will understudy Lollar, who wearied somewhat in the stretch last vear on a steady diet of work. RESERVES "We'll be stronger In reserves this year with men like Jack Phillips, Bob Nieman, Cal Abrams and Bob Kennedy on the bench," Marion aald. "I'm a lot more anxious for this season to start than il was for last year's. Nat urally, It's alwaya a gamble. You have to hope that the help you had last year from unexpected quarters will be there again and you hope that some of the boys, like Minoso, will return to top form." After putting the "always tough" tag on clubs like Boston and Detroit, Marion singled out the Yankees as the No. 1 enemy once more. "They're the champs." ne saia, "you can't win unless you can knock them off." But how about the Indians? Aft er all, they beat you out of second place, didn't they? Marlon smiled. "We could beat Cleveland when we could stop Doby," he said. "We don't have to get him out now. He's on our side." 9n By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GOI.1" DiMiui Art Wall. Pocono Manor.

Iffl The United States Olympic ski Jump ing team broke camp Saturday and Coach Olav Ulland hurled a bold challenge at the rest of the world. . "No one Is going to Jump farther than our boys," he said as the team set out on the first leg of Its Journey to Cortina d'Ampezza, Italy, where the games start Jan. 26. "They are strong and have the spirit. If we get beaten It won't be because we can't make the dis tance." Ulland, a 45-year-old Seattle sporting goods dealer who was a member of the famed Kongsberg Ski Club of Norway that dominated International Jumping for two dec ades, cautioned, however, that the American team does have prob lems. "The Judges score about 60 per cent on distance and 50 per cent on form" he pointed out. "The European Judges are very tough on landings and really penalize you If you re below par. "That scares me Just a little be cause in the United States the judges are lenient on landings and as a result the boys don't concen trate on them." Ulland would like to hide his optimism, but he enn't. "It would be silly for me to make any prediction on the out come" he said, "but I'm sure we'll surprise a lot ot people. Walt till those Europeans get a load of Art Devlin if he keeps up his present form."

Snow Tumble Breaks Neck Of U.S. Star KITZBUEHEL, Austria, HI Catherine (Katy) Rodolph, U. S. Olympic skiing slar from Reno, Nev.. suffered a broken "second vertebrae" in her neck in the In ternational Hahnenkamm Tourna ment Saturday. Dr. Frederlch Pfahl, who made the examination, said the girl's condition was "critical." He or dered her rushed to Salzburg by Red Cross ambulance for treat ment. There was a series of conflicting reports after the 23-year-old brun nette fell on the treacherous "Ganslern" stretch In the women's downhill race. At first It was reported by the Austrian Army Miss Rodolph had suffered a broken leg and a pos sible back injury. Later a physi cian who examined her at the hos pital here said she had suffered only a slight concussion and would be all right after a few days' rest, Doctor Pfahl's rpport was made after a subsequent examination. Miss Rodolph figured prominent ly In the news In the 1952 Olympics at Oslo when she was linked ro mantically with Slein Erikson, Nor wegian skiing ace. Later Miss Rodolph announced she was secretly married to Paul Wegeman. a member of the U.S. Olympic skiing team, and denied any romance with Erikson. However. In 1063 she divorced Wegeman and there were rumors she would marry Erlskson. now a professional instructor in the United States. Portland 8tat (7.

First it scheduled a small col lege tournament in competition to the long - established NAIA tour nament at Kansas City, which has been operating 15 years. It also Ignored -a lot of otlier conference winners and balloted an automatic tournament berth to the winner of the rag-tag Calif ornia Basketball Association. The Reason: To be sure that red-hot San Francisco would be In the NCAA this year even If the or ganization is stuck In the future. BALD-FACED 'Trying to run the NIT out of business, which may be upheld on the grounds that It Is a Madison Square Garden profit making scheme, the NCAA previously ruled that a team may not play in more than one post-season tourna ment. But picking on the long es tablished and well-operated NAIA and making a bald-faced bid for San Francisco smacks of power politics.

For Top Boat ClassK By JACK HEWINS Associated Press Sporta Writer SEATTLE OB The City Of Seattle nearly drowned In Its own tears when It lost the Gold Cup speedboat race last summer but Its eyes are bright and clear again and flashing a $25.00) sparkle. That's the purse which has been set up to lure the "unllmlteds" back to Seattle next August 6 to compete for the Seafalr Trophy. "Maybe It's a good thing we lost the Gold Cup," saya Jerry Bryant, new president of Greater Seattle, Inc. "It tests our ability to estab lish a race of our own." When you have an event that will Grid Rule Changes Said Few LONG BEACH, Calif. IA-College football fans won't have to digest a new rule book to understand the game In 1956. The National Collegiate Athletic Assn. Rules Committee gave some 66 suggestions a thorough study and decided there wasn't much to revise. Chairman Frits Crlsler said that aside from a few technical mat ters, the 1956 rules session was the leanest for changes in the 50- year history of the organization. Here. In brief, is what the com mittee did: The clock on free klckoffs will not start until the ball has touched the opponent team. Instead of starting at the moment of the kick. This will give the receiving team valuable time to put the ball back In play, especially in the waning momenta of a game. Users of light fabrlo tear-away jerseys, which are a boon to break away runners, will pay for the privilege. Hereafter, timeout to re place will be charged to the team, not the officials. Only when a piece of equipment Is damaged to the extent that It might injure the opposing team i.e., a dislocated shoulder pad, or an exposed cleat post, will the time out be charged to the officials. Makers and proponents of the rubber football gained an im portant decision. If a coach wants to use the rubber ball on offense, he may. Heretofore, there had to be mutual agreement between the rival coaches for the ball to bs used in any situation. The old tackle-eligible play, dis carded In 1955, was restored in good standing. The end man on the line of scrimmage, regardless of his designated position, will be eligible for a pass. Where the field, or acoreboard clock. Is the official timepiece, of' flclala do not need to advise the teams oi ine lour-mmuie warning before a half ends. If field officials keep the lime, the teams must be warned, but if it Is inconvenient to action at the moment, time need not be stopped to so advise the teams. In the matter of the kicking tee, the committee approved an Inter pretation already advanced by Crlsler. If time Is out, the tee can be tossed onto the field. If a player asks the official for permission to have the tee tossed in when time Is in, there will be no penslty, In the case of a deflected pass that is still in the air, hands may be used In a free-for-all to eaten the ball and the pass Interference rule Is dead. This was another clarification of the present rule. The rule governing coaching from the sidelines waa deemed all Inclusive. But the Conference Com missioners Assn., will be asked to Instruct their officials to enforce It more than they have In the past, Crlsler said. Hash-marks on the Inbound chalk lines approximately 17 yards In from the sidelines are now man datory. , . , The story of face masks will continue another year. . . . Both the new Gothic block and Arabic block numerals may be used, the former as a new experiment for visual aid to the spectators. . . . The rule which says a ball carrier may not be pulled or pushed on a run. which includes a solid butt from, for instance, a full back to a quarterback on a sneak play, must be enforced.

V draw an average of 300,000 peopV you don't let It go lightly, even 11 very lew of the 300,000 pay their way In. Nobody has been able to find a way to charge admission, as most nf th Rmu-tntnr tin thA city-owned shores of Lake Wash ington, By charging boat owners for moorage along the race-course log boom, by selling nrograms and by peddling Seafalr pins, race offi cials nave been able to rals. not more than half the coat. "On an annual budget of around $49,000 we've been out of pocket about $25,000 year." says Bryant. But Greater Seattle, a civic booster organization, looks upon those 300,000 speedboat fans as good customers for the city's mer chants, and figures there ar. hun dreds of thousands more watching the race by television, hearing It on the radio and reading the news paper reports, That's why It takea th tlmwr off the wallet to underwrit the race. That's also why it's leading the drive to raise the 25.000 nurm for 1956. Bryant regards the $25,000 as a beginning, a sDrinsboard. "The purse could no un to $50,000 In another year and eventually reach $100,000." says Jerry. The only settled Items In connee. tion with the Seafalr Trophy rac ai present are the purs, and the date. There has been no decision as to now tne nurse will be divided. All of it may be split up among; the leading boats or part may be set aside and pro-rated to help owners defray the costs of hauling their expensive craft cross-country from such points as Detroit and Los Angeles. In an; case, the winners am likely to split most of the prize money among their crews. Boats cost around $25,000 to build and ma owners look upon them as a hobby or a means of advertising a business. The Seafalr Tronhv vent will be the first time the unumiteas nave aver raced for a purse.- The lob of settine1 tin ran mn. ditlons and cutting up the melon resu wim me Seattle Yacht Club, with Don Cooney as race chair man. It's a pretty good bet that the rules for the Seafalr Trophy race will be very similar to th. Gold Cup regulations. When Seat tle regains the Gold Cup It ean combine the events on. rac. lor two trophies and a purse. Notice that word "when." Seattle regarda Detroit's custody of th. uoia cup ss a temporary arrange ment. Seattle held th. cup and th. rac. for five straight years. Stan Bayres and Ted Jones took th. Blo-Mo-Bhun IV eaat in 1960 and stunned Detroit by winning the cup. It took the rest of th. world .11 those years to catch ud by Imitating th. Jones design and building boats that could match th. Mo, Then It took a technicality to tat the cup out ot Seattle. Th old Lady old Slo-Mo-Fp' won th. first heat and the Jones-built Miss Thrlftway of Seattle took the sec ond two. But Joe Schoenlth's Oal. V of Detroit had the fastest total time for the three heats and this gave her the decision. Most of the crowd went hem. thinking Thrlftway had won. Tvni. cal of the Seattle reaction was that of a radio announcer who was spinning s dramatic account of the race at the end of the final heat. A race official whispered that the decision was not In and suggeited he wait for a final announcement. The announcer cut his mike and turned to an assistant. This knothead." he said, "is trying to tell me Thrlftway didn't win." lAsr NIGHT Ml FRIDAY'S FIGHTS By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 8AN FRANCISCO Ludwig Lightburn, J39U.
