Writer) NEW YORK OB— For live years now Yogi Berra has been alluded to as a clown prince and a throw back to the stone age, but the laughing boys were beginning to realize today that those tags don’t fit the squat Yankee catcher, at least anymore. Yogi contributed to this reputa tion after his arrival with the Yanks as a shambling youngster with a passion for blasting a base ball and mauling even the slang battered American language. He, too, thought for a while that his loquacious lapses—some true and some invented—were funny. But as time wore on. Yogi tired of being regarded as a com!- boo!, character. His reaction was to clam up. Now, suddenly, he 1s quite a different person from the once-bumbling youngster whose mind went South while his tongue headed North. Credit it to financial security for this one-time poor boy from St. Louis who has signed a $30,000- a-year contract. Or attribute it, if you will, to the fact that last sea son he won the American League’s Most Valuable Player award and thus proved to himself that as a player he could stand on his merits without benefit of monosyllabic | miscues. Or maybe it’s a pride in- ! stilled by his beautiful wife, Car- j men, and their two children. But whatever the reason, Yogi is a straight-talking young man of 26 with a very bright future today and he makes solid sense when he says something. He startled the baseball writers when he signed his 1952 contract by picking the overlooked Detroit Tigers as the team his Yankees would have to beat next season. Immediately, everybody prepared Larry McPhail Gets Into Horse Racing NAPLES, Fla. rtf) Larry Mac- Phail. bombastic Ted-head who pio neered night baseball in the Ma jor Leagues, said today there will be no night racing when he takes over the Bowie Race Track near Baltimore next month. A syndicate headed by MacPhail. has bought controlling interest in the historice old track, and loud Larry Immediately began making typical MacPhailian plans. He will yell for more than 25 race dates | now allotted the track by the rac ing commission, he will improve the plant and he will up the purses. But the man who made the big leagues see the light—the arc-light —while running the Cincinnati Reds, the Brooklyn Didgers and the New York Yankees won’t go for noc turnal nags. *T’m dead set against night facing,” he said. “Sure it would draw, but I’m still against it for thousands of reasons. FOR AND AGAINST "Although I’m generally crediated with being among the pioneers for night baseball, you should remem ber that I also became a leader in opposition to night ball. I felt that too much night baseball was ruin ing the game." McPhail Jest baseball In 1947 when he sold out his interest in the Yan kees to his pArtners after a lusty "victory party” squabble. He since has dabbled In . racing, breeding horses on his 800-acre farm near Bel-Air, Md. Yesterday his long search for con trol of a race trade was climaxed when a New York motion picture executive. Charles Simonelll. an nounced he had bought 7,832 shares of stock in the track, pending court approval, for the syndicate. Mac- Phail and Investment banker Don ald Lillis head the new group, with MacPhail the man destined to run the track. • » HIGH SCORES DURHAM, Jan. The Duke cage outfit has twice this year broken the offensive record for the. school set last year. It had 102 points against VMI and 98 against Oeorge Washington to break the mark of 97 collected against Washington and Lee last year. FORMER CAGE COACH ( DURHAM. Jan. Duke A£fetic' Director E. M.

In a quiet, sen sible voice he explained: "They have Art Houtteman back And Virgil Trucks was improving In the last two months of the sea son. Then, too, they have Ted Gray and Gene Bearden might come around. On pitching they must be looked at at a team which might be trouble. Maybe they haven’t too much power, but Hoot Evers is a good ball player and hell hit bet ter than last season.” Somebody started to laugh when Berra mentioned Houtteman. The laughing boy thought Berra had mispronounced the name—and turned a bit red of face when he f.jund out that Yogi was the one who had it right. Regarding his own laye season slump, Berra said that he simply became tired as the teams ham mered down to the wire. •'We played 22 doubleheaders, and ' I caught all but one game,” he ' explained. "It's not too bad when j the weather is cool but when it gets hot it’s murder. There were; times when we had two double : headers in a row. It wasn’t easy.” I So Yogi has been resting during | the off season, working as a cloth ing salesman and playing golf. I “I hit ’em' pretty far,” he grin | ned, his brown eyes gleaming, "but j that slice of mine—phew!” | And with the speaking reluctance i caused by the laughter of the past few years, Berra admitted that he hasn’t been to many dinners. "That’s out of my line,” he said. ••I’m not much of a speaker.” Yet there’s no doubt that Berra, the man they labeled clown, can talk straight—and make sense, i Anybody who Implies differently is Simply adding to a baseball fairy tale.

(IB The tour nament committee of the Profess ional Golfers Association announc ed today that it will hold a special meeting in Tucson tomorrow to dis cuss "the future" of the touring professional.

Ten NCAA bids go automatically to conference champions. St. 'Bonaventure and Duquesn"! emerged as the only teams in the j unbeaten elite after a weekend of : upsets in which tap-ranked Illinois 1 and second-ranked Kans:)’ suf fered their first setbacks of the season. TOP TEAMS STUMBLE DePaul, one of the Midwest’s strongest independents with a 15-4 record, snapped Illinois' 11-game streak, 69-65, after battling back from a 14-point first quarter defi cit at Chicago Staudium Saturday. Kansas was toppled 81-64, by Kansas State in a Big Seven clash at Manhattan. Kan., despite a fine 31-point performance by All-Amer ican Clyde Lovellette of the Jay- 1 hawks, who is the nation's lead ing scorer. The victory gave the j Wildcats first place in the Big Mangum Takes Win In Phoenix Open PHOENIX, Ariz. —(IB As the nation's crack shot-makers head for the Tucson Open today, youth ful golfers still are trailing the old-timers like Lloyd Mangrum and E. J. Dutch Harrison. While the newcomers faded un der the pressure during the final two rounds of the SIO,OOO Phoenix Open, Mangrum and Harrison! gained momentum. The result was an old story. * Mangrum, who won $26,000 in 1951 to top all golfers, came in first with a 72-hole score of 274 and first prize money of $2,000. Harrison finished second, with a windup 18 holes of 67 and a total of 279-good for $1,400. “These are a fine bunch of youngsters coming up," says PGA President Horton Smith, “but they still have to learn to battle the pressure that goes into the final 36-holes of a championship golf tournament.” T|ie tourney ended yesterday without incident, despite the fact that it was the first PGA-sponsored event in which Negroes had com peted. Smith said that at least seven Negroes are expected to go to Tucson for that tournament. On the basis of his work in -this and the San Diego tournament, 32- year-old Ted Kroll must be rated as the biggest threat among the so-called “beginners” on the tour nament trail. Kroll picked up SI,OOO for his performance here, finish ing with 280 strokes. He had won first money of $2,000 at San Diego.
