Cleveland Havinq Troubles
By UNITED PRESS
The Chicago White Sox and the
Cleveland Indians have adopted
decidedly different methods in
dealing with potential holdouts.
The White Sox seem to be meet
ing all the demands of their play
ers by doling out record salaries,
but the Indians have instituted a
"get tough" policy with six of
their "stragglers."
All-Star second baseman Nellie
Fox, no-hit pitcher Bob Keegan
and veteran southpaw Billy Pierce
accepted their 1958 contracts with
the White Sox Wednesday.
Fox became the highest paid
player in the history of the club
when he signed for "over $40,000."
Pierce, the Sox' top-salaried pitch
er in history last year (at about
$35,000), also was given a slight
pay boost while Keegan, who
pitched the only no-hit game in
Having
the majors last season, received
"a substantial increase."
LANE ISSUES WARNING
However, all was not so serene
in the Cleveland tepee, where
General Manager Frank Lane
warned six Indians they may lose
much wampum if they don't sign
by March 1.
Lane said that $100 will be de
ducted from the contract offered
to each holdout for every day he
fails to report at the Indians'
training camp at Tucson, Ariz.
Veteran outfielder Gene Wood
ling, one of the six unsigned
Cleveland players, answered
Lane's threat with a threat of his
own.
"I won't hold still for anything
like this," he declared, "It just
means that my price will go up
$100 every day after March 1. We
have a baseball commissioner and
I think he ought to step into a
situation like this."
DON LARSEN SIGNS
The New York Yankees, who
have family troubles, too, took
one giant step towards lining up
their biggest names wnen tney
corralled Don Larsen for a re
ported $17,000.
Shortstop Daryl Spencer, pitch
er Pete Burnside and rookie out
fielder Willie Kirkland accepted
their 1958 contracts with the San
Francisco Giants, leaving only
four teammates unsigned.
Other signees: Leo Kiely and
Robert W. Smith of the Boston
Red Sox, Eddie Yost of the Wash
ington Senators, Art Ceccarelli of
the Baltimore orioles, and Glenn
Cox and Lane Akers of the Kan
sas City Athletics.
Owl Gridders
Boast Grades
Oregon Tech's football team
maintained a B-minus grade aver
age during the past fall term
school officials announced this
week, and the Owls football
squad's average was only three-
hundreths of a point below the all
school average.
The 26-man football team aver
aged 2.61. The school average was
2.64. This was the first time in
three years the football team's
CPA has fallen below the school
average, a fact of which coach
Rex Hunsaker has been very
proud.
Twelve of the 26 footballers
achieved a 2.5 or better, with five
of those posting CPAs of 3.0 (B)
or better. Those five were Richard
Pekala, 3.06: Richard Hill, 3.13;
rtoy Ropp, 3.22: Ken Langton, 3.05
and Jim Wagner, 3.69. Pekala and
Hill were starters.
Five of the 11 starters pulled
down a 2.5 average or better. Only
two of the squad failed to get a
2.0 (C) average for the term.
Celts. Hawks
hearing NBA
Division Win
By UNITED PRESS
The Boston Celtics and the St.
Louis Hawks, pre-season favorites
to win division titles in the Na
tional Basketball Association, are
approaching their targets ahead
of schedule.
The Celtics, who took the East
ern lead right at the start of the
season and haven't been out of
first place since, racked up their
nearest rivals, the Syracuse Na
tionals, 119-101, Wednesday night,
while the Hawks, who have held
almost as tight a strangle-hold on
the Western lead, downed the De
troit Pistons, 106-97.
With a comfortable seven game
lead, the Celtics need only nine
wins in their remaining 16 games,
provided the Nationals win all of
their 14 remaining games, to
clinch the Eastern title.
The Hawks, who appear to have
shaken a protracted slump which
got in the point where owner Ben
Keroer and coach Alex Hannum
began shouting at each other,
need 10 wins in their 15 remain
ing games to clinch the Western
title, if the runne'rup Cincinnati
Royals win all of their 16 games.
In the only other game played
the New York Knickerbockers ral
lied in the final period to beat
the Minneapolis Lakers, 106-97,

Youth Dies
After Kayoe
SPRINGFIELD, 111. Wl A
year-old Chicago amateur boxer
suffered fatal injuries Wednesday
night after being knocked out in
the first round of a Golden
Gloves boxing bout.
Melvin Young, 126 pounds and
fighting in the open class compe
tition of the boxing show, was pro
nounced dead upon arrival at a
hospital. Cause of death was not
determined immediately.
. Young's opponent was Joe Be-
cerra, 16, of Granite City, 111
They met in the next to last fight
on a 32-bout program sponsored
by the Springfield Jaycees and
the Illinois State Register.
Young was one of 16 inmates
from the Sheridan (111.) school for
boys entered in the tournament
said Melvin Bryant, assistant su
perintendent of the school. He said
tne school s policy permitted in
mates to take part in high school
level athletics. He said the boxing
team at Springfield was under su
pervision of school officials.
U.S. Skaters
Move-To Lead
PARIS Wl Tim Brown and
David Jenkins of the United
States moved into the lead of the
Men's World Figure Skating
Championships Thursday after the
first two compulsory figures.
Brown, of Carmichael, Calif., a
pre-med student at Colorado Col
lege, replaced Alain Giletti of
France in first place according to
unolticial calculations of the com
plicated place points. Jenkins, the
defending champion and favorite
from Colorado Springs, Colo., was
in second place and Giletti in
third.
This order was not exactly con
firmed by the scoring points
which were awarded by the
judges, but it is not infrequent
to have a discrepancy between the
scoring points and placing points
in the early stages of a close competition.

BOBBY MORROW
. . . named top amateur
Bob Morrow,
Crow Honored
DALLAS, Tex. (UP) Track
ace Bobby Morrow and football
star John Crow get the highest
accolades available to them as
amateur athletes tonight.
The Sullivan Award, emblemat
ic of the nation's outstanding am
ateur athlete for 1957, goes to
Morrow, recognized king of the
world's sprinters.
The United Press awards as the
nation's football player of the
year, the back of the year and
as an All-America back will go
to Crow, who won those honors
by sweeping margins in balloting
by the country's sports writers
and sportscasters.
In addition to the UP awards,
Crow also will be honored by the
Texas Sports Writers Assn. as
Texas amateur athlete of the year
and southwesterner of the year
two honors that Morrow won for
1956.
Schoendienst
Sets Sights
On Bat Title
MILWAUKEE W Red Schoen
dienst, the Milwaukee Braves'
stylish second baseman, said
Thursday he has his heart set on
winning the National League bat
ting title in about the only base
ball bauble that has eluded him.
"That's the one thing I'd really
like to win before 1 go out of
baseball," Schoendienst said. "I
came close once, but not close
enough."
Red was referring to 1953 when
Carl Furillo of the then Brooklyn
Dodgers .shaded him .344 to .342.
That was the year Furillo missed
the last few weeks of the season
because of a wrist injury.
"I had a good shot at it,"
Schoendienst said. "I came along
fast in the last month of the sea
son, but alter 1 reacned 500 at
bats I'd have to have a 5 for 5
day to pick up a point on him.
He just stayed the same and won
the title."
Schoendienst, who was 35 on
Feb. 2, admitted that the leadoff
position and the fact that he sel
dom draws a base on balls works
against him as far as the batting
title is concerned.
"Sure, it's tougher," he said,
"but I've got as good a chance
as anybody else. That's the one
goal I've set for myself- that I've
never achieved."
Four SF Giants
Left Unsigned
SAN FRANCISCO (UP) Only
four San Francisco Giants re
mained out of the fold today with
the receipt of signed contracts
from shortstop Daryl Spencer,
pitcher Pete Burnside and rookie
outfielder Willie Kirkland.
Still unsigned were pitchers
Johnny Antonelli, Ramon Mon-
zant and Al Worthington and in
fielder Jim Finigan.
Spencer, who hit .250 last seas-
son with 31 doubles and 11 hom
ers, will be playing his fourth
year with the club while Burnside
a southpaw, came to the Giants
from Minneapolis in midseason
last year after posting a 10-5 rec
ord with . the Millers. Kirkland
has been playing in the Domini
can Republic since getting out of
the Army in December.
Giardello
Picks Up
Ring Win
PHILADELPHIA W-Joev filar-
dello won a fight here last night
but the fourth-ranking middle
weight will need to be a lot sharp
er if he plans to mix- it up with
tough Carmen Basilio or aging
Ray Robinson in the near future.
The 27-year-old Brooklyn-born
Italian won a unanimous io-round
decision over Franz Szuzina, a
lougn uerman mauler. The ver
dicts of the referee and two judges
reau 4-4i and 47-45.
Alter winning the first two
rounds handily, Giardello seemed
to crawl into a shell. Through the
mira, tourin and filth rounds,
Szuzina. 27. baneed fiinrdplln with
both hands and appeared on the
verge of turning in a maior unset
ne naa uiaraeno bleeding from
cui aoove nis left eve and an.
other across the left cheek. But
biardello managed to find the
range with long right hands and
solid combinations in the late
rounds. He piled up enough points
ior nis vain win against 13 de-
teats, 5 draws and 1 "no contest1
decision.
The victory boosted Giardello's
winning streak to 15 straight and
kept alive his hopes of a summer
title fight with the Basilio-Robin-son
winner. His manager Tony
Ferrante said Giardello may fight
Charley Humez in April in Paris,
or return to Philadelphia for a
fight with "suitable opponent."
i tnougnt I won real easy,
said Giardello in the dressing
room. "He never hurt me. My
combinations worked better than
I thought."
