Co. i, Joe t Mass., jockey who set an Ameri- can record ol 390 winners in 1952, had his first mount Since Septem - ,r at Hiaiean rarK vesieraav. - He has mounts in the second and ninth races today. DeSpirito didn't win on Pong free in the fourth race but he staged such a head-and-head duel with John Dick, the hot favorite and eventual victor, that the 21,216 fans gave him a rousing ovation. Hepve the 3-year-old gray colt a tremendous ride before losing by a short neck in a photo finish. "Gosh, I can't tell you how won derful it felt to be riding in a race again," he said. "It's just great, that s all. It was a personal triumph for the gritty youngster who has been down and almost out of his chosen profession several times, begin ning with a slipped disc in the spring of 1953. He also had a bad leg infection that year but finished out with 311 winners to rank third in the na tion. In September 1955. he received a fractured jaw and brain lacer ation when a mount fell with him in the Beldame at Aqueduct. , He was the leading rider at Bowie in the spring of 1956 but on May 1 he was hauled off the track with multiple internal in juries. Three horses had pounded over his body. His spleen, a kid ney and a rib were removed and it appeared his career would end there. Last spring a horse fell leaving the gate and DeSpirito came out of it with a vertebrae out of place. He was in traction for a week. Asian flu grounded him after a brief comeback attempt last fall. DeSpirito opened a restaurant and lounge at Saugus, Mass.. and it is doing very well, but riding was his life and he had to get back to the track. "I didn't know what to do with myself when I wasn't riding," he said. "It means more to me than anything." Small College Cagers Honored NEW YORK (UP)-Dick Kross of American International (Mass.)

McCLELLAN CHECKS OUT NORMAN, Okla. (UP) Mike McClellan, the freshman football and track star whose departure from Baylor University touched off a furore over alleged recruit ing practices, said today he is leaving Oklahoma "because the school apparently doesn't, want me." Extra Benefits Give Venturi Good Start On '58 Golf Year By HAL WOOD TUCSON", Ariz. (UP)-The offi cial records for 1958 show that young Ken Venturi. San Francis co golfer, won slightly less than $5,000 during the first six tourna ments of the year. Unofficially the talented young club swinger has collected a total of more than $12,500 because of golf's most important item: "fringe benefits." Nearly every golfer on the tour is collecting royalties of one kind or another and the so-called side line money has become more im portant than the amount collected for winning a tournament. Very often it exceeds the size of the first-place purse. The catch is, of I course, that to get the sideline Littler s win. he gave Gene 10 per money, the player has to moke! cent, so the golfer usually came a name for himself by winning out with $10,000 first prize money, tournaments. j plus nearly as much from the Venturi, during January, won : Calcutta pool, two tournaments. In each first ' EVEN' BASEBALL prize was worth $2,000.

The New York ace picked up three assists against Detroit Sat urday for a 52-point total that eased injured Bernie (Boom Boom) Geoffrion out of third place. Dickie Moore's lone goal of the week was enough to keep the Montreal wing on top .with 66 points and leading in the goals scored category with 30. Team mate Henri Richard was second with 63 points. Geoffrion, whose ruptured intes tine had improved enough to let him out of the hospital during the weekend, was in a fourth-place tie with Boston s Bronco Horvath Each had 50 points. Detroit's Gordie Howe returned from the sick list to pick up one goal and one assist in weekend play and hold his sixth-place standing with 47 points. Howe's teammate, Alex Delvecchio, and Vic Stasiuk of Boston were tied for seventh with 44 points. Montreal's Jacques Plante still led the goalies with a 2.07 goals per game average 91 goals in 44 games. He also led on shut outs with eight. Lou Fontinato of the Rangers had most penalty time, 132 minutes. The Canadiens had the highest team total with 694 minutes. YANKS WIN PAISLEY, Scotland (UP)-Rog-er Christian of Warroad.

Although these aren't in evidence as much any more, they were great sources of income in their day. The biggest current "fringe ben efit" winner in this department is Gene Littler, who has won the big Tournament of Champions event I at Las Vegas three times in a i row.

The 23-year-old outfield star "signed on our terms." General Manager Johnny M c H a 1 e said late Monday. Kaline immediately left for a visit wilh relatives in Baltimore before heading south for the Tigers' early camp at Lakeland, Fla. It was believed he received neither a raise nor a cut from his plus-520,000 salary. He said he was very anxious to get started," McHale said iiu lies a icijt act luua-umiucu young man which makes us hap py. "Al said he wanted to get to the early camp so he can make a good start this season in con trast to his past two years when he's been troubled by a sore arm and a generally slew start," Mc Hale said. Kaline, after a phenomenal 1955 season when he hit .340 and be came the youngest player ever to win the American League batting championship got off slowly in 1936 but wound up strong with a .M4 average, 27 home runs and 128 runs batted in. Ted Williams, the last major leaguer to hit better than .400, last summer predicted Kaline and Mickey Mantle of the New York Yankees have the capabilities of reaching that peak. "I appreciate the compliment Kaline said. "I just wish I were as sure of it as he is, though.," In addition to Kaline, pitcher Paul Foytack and rookie outfielder-first baseman Larry Osborne returned signed contracts Mon day. Piston Gains In NBA Race NEW YORK (UP) George Yardley of the Detroit Pistons averaged 35-points in his three most recent outings to gain slight ly on Dolph achayes of the JSyra cuse Nationals today in the Na tional Basketball Association's in dividual scoring race.

Pay Television Debut Scheduled CHICAGO Wi Pay television mokes its boxing debut Tuesday night through the joint efforts of the International Boxing Club and the International Telemeter Corp. Five bouts, headed by an eight round welterweight feature be tween Jerry Mortell of Chicago and Don Alderson of Pittsburgh, will be piped by co-axial cable from the Midwest Athletic Club to the Normandie Lounge of the Conrad Hilton Hotel. their native countries. Jackie Burke and Dow Finsterwald rep resent clothing companies. U.S. Rubber Company this year is offering $121,000 in prizes To golfers who are using their golf balls while winning a tournament. If a man should win either the National Open, PGA or Masters title, he would collect $10,000 above the purse for the feat. But that isn't where the big money comes from. "The most money in side bene fits comes when a golfer gets good enough to have his name on a club," says Bobby Lutz, who represents Golfcraft, a compara tively new firm on the big scale market. "For instance, after Doug Ford won the Masters and the West ern using our clubs, we put out a club with his signature on it, which he helped design. He should draw from $10,000 to $12. 000 in royalties the first year." So the next time you read about one of the poor, struggling boys on the tourney picking up $2,000 for winning the tourney, do a bit of rechecking and double the figure to get the true worth.

The 492 voting members of the National Collegiate Athletic Assn. must approve the proposal in a mail referendum by a two-thirds majority. Proposals by the com mittee have carried easily ever since the NCAA took control of college football telecasts. Walter Byers, executive direc tor of the NCAA, announced Tues day the committee's plan for 1958. It dilfcrs only slightly Irom the pattern of the past three seasons. The committee suggested au thorization for a limited number of closed circuit and subscription telecasts for experimental pur poses. This takes into account the possible development of pay-as- you-see television. ine second modification pro vides not more than six colleges from any one of the NCAA's eight geographical districts may ap pear on the national "Game of the Week" telecasts. Last year the Big Ten had teams in seven of the games. 1 The committee specified five of the nine dates for national tele casts: Sept. 20. Oct. 4, Nov. 27 (Thanksgiving Day), Nov. 29 and Dec. 6. The other four dates will be determined by the sponsor or sponsors. On the four Saturdays set aside for regional games, member schools may make their own ar rangements, subject to some limi tations.

Robertson has been the No. 1 surprise of the year. The Cincin nati sophomore broke a 10-year Madison Square Garden record with a 56-point spree and looks a cinch to make everybody's 'all" team. And there are a number of others who have come out of no- Fans' Action Break Up Tilt SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico Wl i They're going to try and get around to finishing the second gome of a doublehcader between Cuba and Puerto Rico Tuesday in the Caribbean Baseball Tourna ment. Play was suspended after the fans vented their feelings with a barrage of trash when their fa vorites lost a lead. The deluge of bottles and cans came Monday night when Cuba had the bases loaded and one run in, erasing a 4-3 Puerto Rico lead in the last half of the ninth in ning. The big play was an appar ent trap of a bnll by Puerto Rico's right fielder with none out and the bases loaded. Milwaukee Braves fireballer Juan Pizarro had taken over just previously and Alejandro Leroux hit a ball to right field that um pires said was not caught by Marcial Allen. The tying run scored easily. The crowd began throwing mis siles and officials immediately suspended play. It will be resumed with the bases loaded and none out. Pizarro will be pitching. In the first game of the double- header, Venezuela whipped Pana ma 5-1. Bv THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK Mickey Craw ford, 152, Saginaw, Mich, outpoint ed Tex Gonzalez, 155, East Orange, N.J., 10.

SECOND IN SCORING To name a few, how about Bob Boozer of Kansas State, Don Hen non of Pitt, Jerry West of West Virginia, Eddie Goldberg of Syra cuse and Bob Plump of Butler? The pre-season choices included such as Wilt iThe Stilt) Chamber lain of Kansas, Elgin Baylor of Seattle, Guy Uodgers of Temple, Pete Brennan of North Carolina and Archie Dees of Indiana. They haven't gone back any and still are fine probabilities for national honors. ' But Robertson seems destined to supplant one of them when it comes time to make out the bal lots. The 6-foot-5 Cincinnati star from Indianapolis is a strong sec ond to Baylor in scoring but it must be taken into consideration that the Seattle sharpshooter plays a much easier schedule than Robertson. Boozer was one of the spark plugs as Kansas Sate knocked olf Kansas and Wilt the Stilt. The G-foot-8, 220-pounder from Omaha a jarring junior who does everything well and belongs with the best of them. HENNON IS SMALLEST Hennon is small for this giant set but the 5-toot-8'a Pitt star, who stops on a dime and gives a nickel change, has been a real money player. You might say that this is to be expected, Hen non being from the town of Wam pum. Pa. A fine shot, he also is murder from the foul line with 34 in a row to his credit. Goldberg is small by collegiate basketball standards at 5-foot-10. Hlit the Fort Lee, N.J., player, another sophomore, is alert and quick. West, the West Virginia sophomore, can drive and at ii-foot-3, is a defensive power. He can shoot, is a defensive powen He points against a good Villanovu team. Plump is "only" 5-foot-ll but the 155-poundcr from Milan, Ind., is i fourth in free throw accuracy and in the top 25 scorers. It is significant that he led Milan to the rugged Indiana scholastic title in 1954 first time in 40 years that a small school emerged vie torious. Milan High School had an enrollment of only 83 boys. So it s understandable how some of these lads spring out of nowhere. But it sure complicates the year-end balloting. UCONS SEEK IIKKTII STORRS, Conn.

WVyear-old new captain of the U. b. Davis Cup team, de clared today, "I may be a little conceited, but I figure we certain ly are going to win the right to represent the American zone in Australia this year. Jones made the statement as he prepared to give his new job what he called the best try I know how and not with the idea that we're going over there just to go through the motions and lose. Concerning plans and Ideas to restore U. S. Davis Cup prestige, he said he had a lot of ideas as to who might be on the team and what might be done, "but I am not ip a position to discuss them until after I've talked to Victor Denny in Seattle." Denny, United States Lawn Ten nis Assn. president, announced Jones' appointment Sunday. Jones replaces Billy Talbert wiio headed the U. S. team from 1U54 through 1957. Jones said there has been great deal of talk that we should use on the team only those play ers with the four best records. "But there is another school of thought that wo should just look around for the most promising young players who wouldn t necessarily be the best In 1058 but who the selection committee believes might be the best play ers in 1950 or I960 if given ex perience. "Some people think we should be satisfied to build for the future rather than for immediate pros pects," he continued, "I'm not saying this is my opinion. Until all the officials have decided, I can't express an opinion for or against." lie declared there are many fine prospects all over the coun try. The woods are full of them.
