Today's Sport Parade Autos Bode Misery For Dodger Players NEW YORK (UP)-Two missed ' turns made the motor ear a sym hoi of disaster today for the l.o; Angeles Dodgers. The first was on Jan. 28 when Soy Campanella reached the end of the baseball road as his auto- mobile overturned. The second came Wednesday when Duke Sni der, Johnny Podres and Don Zim' nier all were banged up in a Florida crash as Snider also missed a turn in the road. 11 The outcome of that first crash is obvious from a baseball stand point but only time will tell what troubles the second will bring. Because Snider, Podres and Zimmer all were injured in al ready vulnerable areas. Campa nella, still paralyzed in his lower extremities, nl 37 must concede that his active baseball career is ended. Snider, at 31, previously was menaced by a bad knee while Podres and Zimmer. com parative youngsters, walked a perilous path because of respec tive spinal and head injuries. Snider's knee, on which lie re cently underwent an operation, was injured In the Florida acci dent. Podres suffered a seven-stitch scalp cut and a wrenched neck, conceivably dangerous to a bad back condition which pains hint constantly. . Zimmer, who once almost died as result of a benning, sullcied forehead abrasions. The key man in tins new inci dent from a (lay-by-day playing basis is Snider. The Duke is one of the top power men in the Na tional League, having hit 40 or more home runs in each of the lust five seasons. Duke figured that the oil-season operation would give him a new lease on life. But even before the accident he admitted that the leg. immobilized lor six weeks, need ed a muscle buildup. At best. Snider said, he hoped it would be "right well" before the season starts. There was no early indication as to just how much damage the Duke did to the tender knee when lie rammed it against Hie steering wheel as the tiny lurcign car in winch he. Podres and Zimmer were riding, left (lie road and piled into an embankment. But there is no question that the wallop certainly did him no good. Nor could it have done any thing but threaten the dangerous conditions of the always-paining mires and the game but oft-bat tered Zimmer. Nor can you blame the Uoduers if they wished fur the euod old days when ballplayers rode in carriages and figured it was a good luck sign every time they saw a load of barrels, flight now the Dodgers could use a lew wag ons lull o( kegs.
