Phillies Seek Better
Start In Coming Year
By CHARLES TAYLOR
United Press Sports Writer
LAKE WORTH, Fla., (UP)
Maya Smith can't forget that his
fourth place Phillies gained more
ground than any team In the Na
tional League after July 4 last
season, and his big objective this
year will be to get them off to a
better start.
The P h 1 1 f were "floundering
around" in seventh place on the
mid-season holiday and Smith In
his first year as a big leaitue pilot
was wishing he had a nice easy
Job as pilot of a rocket ship to the
Moon Instead.
But before doom enveloped the
shaky Quakers completely, they
straightened out and finished a
strong fourth.
Tnis year he Is convinced things
will be better from the start but he
Isn't predicting any pennant or
spectacular finish because he still
is experimenting and revamping.
KNOTTY PROBLEMS
Right now, Smith said, the knot
tiest problems are finding a left
hand hitting outfielder, some new
pitching talent and a solid shortstop-second
base combination. He
also Is contemplating a big change
at first base.
"We may move Stan Lopata
from catcher to first base," he
said. "I think Stan would be a
better hitter laying first."
Lopata whacked 21 homers last
'56 Fish Regulations
Given By Commission

source were adopted by the com
mission. The most important ol
these was moving the deadline be
low Bonneville Dam to correspond
to the deadline on the Washington
1 Mitlicoma River up to markers
; below Stover's Falls for winter
v steelhead angling.
S At the request of the fish com-
mission. Gnat Creek was closed to
J salmon angling above tidewater to
4 protect a remnant run of fish in
I the stream. In addition, the fish
5 commission also asked for a Tllla-
I mook Bay salmon closure from
May 1 to July 1 to protect spring
chinook salmon. This proposal was
shelved until more information
j was obtained from the fish com
' mission on the spring chinook
i counts In Tillamook Bay streams
and especially the Trask River.
An Important change In fishing
methods was the striking out of
' the two attractor blade rule and
allowing multiple gear use (any
? number of attractor blades) by
the ancier.
Following are the proposed
changes In the angling regulations

would leave Andy Seminick and
Ous Nlarhos to share the catching
chores.
The infield trouble started last
season when Smith moved Bobby
Morgan from second to sno.t be
cause of an Injury and shifted
Cranny Hamner from short to
second.
HITTING TROUBLE
Both Morgan and relief shortstop
Roy Smalley had trouble with their
hitting after the move.
"Smalley may be the answer,"
Smith said, "but I'm not sure
about his hitting power over a long
period."
In the outfield. Smith wants the
left-handed hitter to go with league
batting ci'amp Richie Ashbuin.
who bats left handed. Smith also
is hoping Jim Greengress, held to
only six weeks of regular service
last year because of an Injury, will
be ready for a comeback.
For help on the mound, Smith
will be counting on three rookies
uo from the Syracuse club: Jim
Owens, Seth Morehead and Dick
Ferre!'.
Smith already has plenty of
strength In 23-game winner Robin

Jumpers
Headed
By Finns
CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy W
Scandinavia's heritage of pro
ducing the world s most stylish and
long range ski Jumpers appears as
safe during the 1956 winter Olym
pic games as a snowball at -the
North Pole.
In five davs of steady practice
on classic "Italia" Hill for the
games opening next Thursday no
other Jumper has shown himself to
be In a class with Scandinavia s
best. i
The Russians crave to replace
tlie Finns and Norwegians as the
best jumping nation ol the Nordic
world. But the grim, never smiling
Soviets have yet to show a man
who can handle himself In (light or
touch down as gracefully as their
uttie norinern neignoors.
The Americans look great com
ing down the sloping chute from
which the Jumpers take off. The
Yanks handle themselves well In
flight and land lightly. But the
Finns look even better and Jump
ianner.
Each nation is permitted to enter
only four men In the special Jump
ing event scheduled for Feb. 5. But
the Finns can't even decide which
nii.n to leave off among Anttl
Hvvaiien, Elno Kirjonen. Hemmo
silvonneoinen, Auli Kallakorpi and
Kalevl Karkinen.
Any man left off would have little
trouble making any other national
quartet with the possible exception
of Norway. Norway's long leapers
are not due at Cortina for another
day or two. They Include Arnfinn
Bergman. 1952 Olympic champion.
Olav Ulland, Norwegian - born
coach of the American Jumpers
from Seattle, said he expects
Jumps up to 86 meters about 282
feet during the Olympics. Several
Finnish lumpers thought 84 meters
275 'i feet will win the title while
more conservative observers said
80 meters 262.4 feel would be good
enough ts win.
The Finns dominated yesterday's
practice leaps. The 27-year old Kal
lakorpi got off jumps of 262 'i and
?6l feet. And Kirjonen matched his
teammate's second Jump.
The best American effort was
turned In by Art Devlin, 33-year
old Lake Placid, N. Y., motel own
er. He cleared 243 feet. Rudolph
Mokl of Ishpeming, Mich., and
Dkk Rohol of Iron Mountain,
Mich., were three feet shorter with
their best Jumps.

SYRACUSE. N.Y. (UP) Middle
weight OH Turner of Philadelphia
bewildered by two "disagreement"
decisions over Jack La Bua, was
additionally puzzled today as to
where and when he will have his
postponed "rubber" match with
oene Fullmer.
Turner, who won a split verdict
over handsome, blondish La Bua
of East Meadow, N.Y., Friday
night In War Memorial Auditori
um, became the center of a mild
tugging match today between pro
moter Norman Rothschild of Syra
cuse and the International Boxing
Club.
Turner, who had to be content
with a majority verdict over La
Bua In the same Memorial Audi
torium on Dec. 14, Is wanted now
for a "rubber match" with Full
mer of West Jordan. Utah, by both
Rothschild and matchmaker Billy
Brown of the IBC.
Turner, 25, weiehed 156 pounds
lo La Boa's 158 Friday night as
he won the split verdict over 23-year-old
Jackie. He forced the
fighting throughout and gashed
Jackie's right brow for a flve
stitch repair job in the fourth
round.
Brown said he will stage the
third meeting between Turner and
Fullmer at Madison Square Garden
on Feb. 24 or March 2. Each won
a previous decision In their two
bouts. But Rothschild says, "Full
mer can't get off his suspension
until he fights In Syracuse for me."
Fullmer and Turner were orig
inally slated for their "rubber"
match here at the auditorium Fri
day night; but Fullmer withdrew
a few days ago because of a virus
Infection, and La Bua came in as
a substitute.
Rothschild said, "When Fullmer
withdrew because of sickness, he
was automatically suspended In
New York State. And he will re
main suspended until he fulfills
his contract with me."

Agrees
To Terms
By UNITED PRESS
Carl Erskine, confident his arm
Is sound again and he will be a
consistent winner next season,
agreed to salary terms with the
Dodgers Saturday for close to the
J20.000 he received a year ago when
he was top winner on the staff.
Erskine sent In his contract from
hts homo In Anderson, Ind where
he has been taking it easy and try
ing to build up his stamina.
Last season Erskine started out
as tho most effective hurler on the
Dodger stall, beating the Pirates
on opening day and going on to
win the next five games In a row.
For his first reven outings he had
a remarkable 1.32 earned run av
erage but at that time he experi
enced serious soreness in his arm
and back and lost his effective
ness. He went on to compile an
11-8 record lor the season, far shy
of the 18 wins he notched in 1834
PERMANENTLY
However. Dr. Harold Wendler,
the Dodger trainer, said Ersklne'a
arm was not permanently Injured
and that with proper rest he prob
ably could come back and be a
winner again.
Erskine, starting his ninth sea
son with the Dodners. has a life

cause he doesn't "want to take

Only a week ago last Tuesday,

Not Luisetti Said Eiesponsibb
One-Hander, High -Scoring Contests
be the man responsible for making
the game the high scoring affair It
Is today.
In those days all shots except
the driving layups were fired with
two hands. Most coaches would
faint and then fire you off the
squad if you tried anything so wild
as a one-hander. Looking back, it's
a wonder that Fltzke got away
with It. Coach Davo MacMtllan
was a stickler for sound, funda
mental play and lone-hand shoot
ing wasn't regarded as kosher.
"Come to think ol it," soys
Uncle Heo Edmundson, "Fltzke
wasn't any good as a one-hand
shooter, but he sure scared us.
Wo couldn't guard the shot."
Uncle Hcc at that time was the
young Washington coach destined
to dominate the Northern Division
for a couple of decades. Never a
man to turn his back on progress,
Edmundson took his team back
home after the Idoho game and
began encouraging his players to
use the shot. Like all new things.

Oregon Tech To Host
SOC Quintet Tuesday
Coach Wally Palmberg's Oregon
Tech Owls make their first home-
court appearance In over six
weeks tills coming Tuesday night
as they host the strong Southern
Oregon College Red Raiders In on
Oregon Collegiate Conference bas
ketball outing.
Following Tuesday night's game
on the Mile High Campus, Tech
and the Raiders move into Ash
land Wednesday evening for the
second game of their scries on the
SOC maple court.
Southern Oregon spilt a pair of
conference games with Portland
State College this past weekend at
Ashland, and will be out to col
lect a double win at the expense
of the Owls. SOC now holds a
conference record of three wins
against three losses, while Tech
stands wlnless In four tries at
OCC play.
Palmbcrg reported Saturday that
Johnny Foster, 6-3 sharp-shooting
forward, has been reinstated to
the OTf club at the request of

it was slow to take hold. Not until
Clyne Swlgard came along in 1930-
31 did Uncle Hcc land a player
who was effective with the single
paw push and he did not use 11
exclusively.
One deterrent may have been
the attitude of the lans. Bill Nol
lan, who was at Washington State
during Idaho's Fitzke era, recalls
the night he and his teammates
tried out the one-hander during a
pie-came warmup.
"The crowd nearly laughed us
out of the gym," shudders Bill.
Edmundson finally came up with
a player who used the shot ex
clusively. He was Ed (Ashcan)
Loverich, who fired a two-hander
only twice in his entire college
career. Hec took his team back to
the Olympic trials In 1936 and
Loverich stood the city of New
York on Its basketball ear.
New York still wasn't believing
its own eyes a year later when
Angelo (Hank) came to town with
Stanford and stunned the folks
with his one-hand shooting. From
I the entire Owl basketball squad.
I Foster was booted from the squad
a week ago along with 6-9 Charlie
Bogle when the two were guilty of
training rule Infractions.
The OTI coach announced that he
had left the matter up to the ball
players, and Foster's fate would
be governed by them. John Mc
Cutcheon, sophomore letterman,
asked as a spokesman for the
team, that Foster be reinstated
by Palmboig.
With Foster bock on the Tech
rostor, Palmbcrg will have a
somewhat smaller starting unit,
but one that Is expected to "run"
and play together as a much more
solid unit.
Leading Southern Oregon will be
veteran Lloyd Hofflne, who paced
the OCC scoring lost year. Among
I hose who will find action against
the Owls Tuesday will be Guy
Munscll, a 1955 graduate of Klam
ath Union High School and for

Up until about 1940 the one-hand
