Ling also told newspapermen Wednesday night the tournaments one with (30.000 prize money and the other S70.000 were designed both as a civic venture and with the idea of making money.

He said the tournaments already were assured of virtually every major player, that he believed Ben Hogan, the links gre-u wno has been in virtual retirement since the last National Oiien. won play here as a cooperative gesture (Hogan live at Fort Worn. 30 miles from Dallas), and that Sam Snead, always a top attraction, would compete.

Second baseman Don Leppert belted a triple and two singles, stole a base and drove in a run in Baltimore's intrasquad contest. First sacker Julio Becquer belted three hits, including a game winning double in Washington's Orlando. Fla., quarters, and out fielder Oino Cimoli cracked an important two-run double in the Brooklyn Dodgers' camp. It wasn't a particularly good day for the pitchers. Some of the hui'lers, however, were optimistic. Russ Meyer of the Cubs, who was acquired from Brooklyn dur ing the winter, believes he's set "for a fine season." "I've never been so strong so early in the spring." he said. "I've been able toi run more in Arizona than in Florida it's the difference in- the turf." Relief pitcher Ray Naiieskl ex pressed the hope that Cleveland Manager Al Lopez will give him a chance to start this season.

Calif. I The coach of the 1952i U.S. Olymnic track team thinks there's nothing to worrv about at Melbourne ps far as the Russians are concerned. "By the most concrvsMve thnk. ing." savs Brutus Hamilton, Uni versity of Caliiomia cinder coach, "we should score twice as many points as the Russians." Hamilton handled the U.S. track forces at Hel'inki four years ago. His charges ran up an unofficial 269 points as the Russians counted a modest 79. The veteran Hamilton, a prom inent figure in American track for ears, is well aware of the word from Moscow that the Reds are out to sweep the field in the Au trallan games as they did in the winter competiton last month. He admits that the Russians may make "a little better showing" than they did al Helsinki and that this nation's runners and jumpers "may not do quite as well." But by and large Hamilton is convinced that Uncle Sam's thin clads will do all right. "We still have our grip on events we've dominated for years, like the shot, high jump, pole vault, sprints and middle distances," he says. "Tiie Russians have made their major gains In events in which we don't specialize Uie distance runs, hammer throw, hop-stcp-jump."
