SPORTS R9URDUP BV CHARLES l LIVINGSTON 1 or ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS BASEBALL: The 1957 baseball i season gets under way Monday, A prii 10. with the Baltimore Orioles meeting the 'Washington Senators in the nation’s capitol However, i cal competition opens Tuesday, v.-ith all 16 clubs participating. On the latter date Boston will bn at Baltimore,. Detroit at Kansas City. Chicago at Cleveland, and Wash ington at New York in the Ameri can League, and Brooklyn will be i at Philadelphia, Milwaukee at Chi- ‘ cage, St. Louis at Cincinnati, and New York at Pittsburgh, in th National League . , The National League race shapes up as a lively one, but in the junior circuit the Vanbkees are almost a sure bet to i repeat as champions . . Many bo.se- J ball experts snickered that !h< , Philadelphia Phillies pulled a bon- | **r in doling out Sid.ooo cash, a pit cher and three infielders for the Brooklyn Dodgers prize shortstop, Chicago Fernandez . Among thos* criticizing the Phillies for ■ hort sighfodness was th Ole Master himself. Casey Stengel, whose Yankees have made a hnbtl of winning the American League pen nant . Said Sfcn.-ei of the Phil lies: "They (the Rhiilux) are al ways running around trading for this fellow and that f How. V.’hv don't th. v look under thou no- They’ve got a pretty pood short stop in that fellow (John Kc«n< <v'* who nlays shorts; ip for them now.

Zimmer, mri niriered by many as the event ful replacement for Reese, lacks the all-around class to com* pare with Fernandez , . Hank Aaron of the Milwaukee Brav es and Gene Baker of the Chi cago fobs were th" (no hot test batters In final weeks of spring training. . They were hotter than the proverbial fire cracker , Allen University Yellow Jackets of Columbia. S. C. last week caught the Yan kee fever and went on a w in ning tprer , , Stretching its winning streak to seventh straight, the team rocked South Carolina Stale in a baseball doubleheader, 5-4 and 111-7. and then pounded Tutkegee Insti tute, 15-8. BoXTNO; Much printers Ink was tise d up over the lost fortnight in reporting a hassle which actually hears little Import to the general fight public . , Center of the con troversy was Ralph Dupas, who was accused of being of Negro par entage . , Andie: His accusers claimed he was horn Ralph Duplos ris and later changed his name nnd crossed the color line , . But Du pns won the argument, ns the Loui ;:nnn State Athletic Commis sion sanctioned a pending bout tween the Mew Orleans fighter and white Vince Martinez . . Dupas later won the fight . .
