PROS TURN IN AMAZING SCORES AT MIAMI
JOHNNY REVOLTA
SINKS 40-FOOT
PUTT FOR EAGLE
Winners Eight Under Par
In Four Ball Golf Tour
nament Play
MIAMI, Fla., March 8.— UPi —
Johnny Revolta rammed home a
40-foot putt for an eagle three on
the 36th hole today to set the pace
for a series of surprises as the
nation’s top professionals staged an
amazing scoring exhibition in the
first round of the Miami Biltmore’s
international four ball golf tourna
ment.
When the firing was over, only
two of the favorite teams remained
in the running. A
Shooting the works, the competi
tors turned in 12 eagles and 136
birdies as a favorable wind helped
on the long holes.
Revolts, teaming for the first
time this’ year with Ky Laffoon,
knocked out last year’s finalists
and the 1939 winners — Sammy
Sr.ead and Ralph Guldahl — when
his long putt flopped into the can
for a one up victory.
The winners had an eight-under
par 134 for the distance.
Another one of the eagles counted
heavily in the result as Jimmy
Hines got down a 12-foot putt on
the first extra hole for the three
that gave him and Willie Gcogin a
win over the always dangerous
combination of Horton Smith and
Paul Runyon.
Hines and Goggin did the 36 in
68-67—135—seven under par.
National open champion Craig
Wood ar.d Billy Burke, former open
title holder, were the victims of the
upstart comvination of Chandler
Harper and Herman Keiser Both
Wood and Bruke were off form and
the winners came home to an easy
5 and 4 triumph—with the widest
margin of the day.
A team of youthful giant-killers,
Ben Loving and Jack Grout, took
the measure of Lawson Little and
Jimmy Demaret in another upset,
ene up.
The only well-liked teams to sru
vive the slaughter were last year’s
winners — Ben Hogan and Gene
Sarazen, ar.d the favored duo of
Byron Nelson and Henry Picard.
Hogan and Sarazen took turns
carrying the load in a tight go with
Johnny Farrell and Henry Ran
som, and finally eked out a one up
decision.
Nelson and Picard drew a pair
of tartars in Chick Harbert, the
surprise player of the winter tour,
and Sam Byrd, but held on to win,
3 and 1.
In another surprise decision,
Dutch Harrison and Denny Shute
downed Clayton Heafner and Lloyd
Mangrum, 3 and 2, while Herman
Barran and Tony Penna trounced
Jimmy Thomson and H arry
Cooper, 3 and 2‘.
Best 18-hole round of the day was
the 64 turned in by Nelson and
Picard on the morning round. They
were out in 31, four under par, and
back in 33, three under.
The Hogan-Sarazen and Farrell
Rarscm combinations set the stage
for the sensational scoring, when,
teeing off first, they halved the
first hole in eagles.
In tomorrow’s second round—also
36 holes—the lineup is Hogan and
Sarazen against Barron and Penna,
Harper and Reiser against Picard
and Nelson, Laffcon and Revolta
against Loving and Grout, and
Hines and Goggin against Harrison
and Shute. 3

WHITNEY MARTIN
NEW YORK. March 8. — There
has been considerable speculation
concerning the plight of minor
league baseball this year, with a
prospective player shortage, uncer
tainty in regard to night ball, tire
rationing and other factors adding
up to a rather bleak picture.
The minor leagues have only to
check back to 1918 to learn that
their concern is well founded Con
ditions may be different today, but
a war is a war and if the all-out
effort of 1918 wrecked the minors
the same might be expected this
year.
This was the rUcture in 1915.
Only one minor league—the In
ternational—completed what passed
for a full season. That circuit sur
vived until Labor Day to match
the bobbed seasons of the majors,
and saw a mid-season franchise
shift.
Many minor clubs failed
even to open, and the others
struggled along only to expire
wheezily somewhere along the
route.
In the American Association,
two clubs had played 77 games
and the others a few games less
when it was decided enough
was enough. Kansas City was
on top when taps were sounded.
The six-club Pacific Coast
league carried on for better
than 100 games before quitting,
with the Vernon club in first
place.
The Southern Association, which
enjoyed a good season in 1917,
breathed its last after playing 70
games. New Orleans was leading
at the end of the short course. The
reason advanced for the curtail
ment was “too much business out
side baseball.” The south was ac
tive in war inddustries ,and inter
est of the Amrny camps in baseball
dwindled as the intensity of train
ing for A. E. F. duty pushed every
thing else into the background.
Other leagues that braved the
start of the campaign suffered'
similar fates. The old Western
league collapsed after about 65
games; the Eastern got in about
58; the old Pacific Coast Interna
tional went out July 7, after dwind
ling to three clubs. Tacoma and
Spokane dropped out In May and
Vancouver threw up the sponge in
June. The four-club Virginia
league staggered through 50
games, and the six-club Texas
ieagu3 gave a final gasp and died
after ’ess than 90 games.
Oddly enough, the chief rea
son given for the demise of
minor league hall in 1918 was
the overwhelming prosperity in
the cities in which the clubs
were located.
With plants Tforking day and
night shifts, and wages sky
high, the workers refused to
sacrifice even a few hours pay
to watch a ball game, working
in many instances seven days a
week to get full advantage of
this unexpected golden rain.
The shortage of players was
acute, as it promises to be this
year, because youngsters who for
the most part make up minor
league clubs were ripe for Army
duty, and that’s where they went.
Using some home-grown logic, it
would seem that if the minor
leagues can survive this year we
still are not up to our all-out ef
fort of 1918, when they couldn’t
survive because of circumstances
which are duplicated today. If they
didn’t have time for the game then,
it would seem logical that they
wouldn’t have time now.
This is no effort to knock base
ball, but is merely a recitation of
a little history to show v hat hap
pens to our national pastime when
we really got dow'n to the business
of winning a war. Maybe the clubs
can play night ball after all, and
the eight-hour day will give work
ers a chance to go to the games.
But the record of 1918 is none
too encouraging for the minors.
Paul Moss Says College
Boxing Is Much Lower
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Mar.
8.—(ff)—You can take the word of a
man who is partly responsible for
the situation that college boxing
ain’t what it used to be.
Paul Moss, who guides the fistic
destinies of ex-college boxer Billy
Soose, is that man. He dropped in
here yesterday for a quick look at
the finals of the 19th Eastern Inter
collegiate Boxing Championships
and found little more than a pleas
ant place to spend a weekend.
“The quality of the boxing is
much lower than it was in Billy’s
day,” Moss commented. “It used
to be that nearly every college had
a good team. The kind of boxers
you saw in there last night were
the ones that used to be in intra
mural bouts.”
Moss and Soose were the princi
pal cause of one rule that helped
bring about the change. An old
Penn State man. Moss became in
terested in Billy when he was fight
ing in amateur tournaments and
saw to it that Soose went to Penn
State. Billy, and a few other ex
perienced cuffers, proved so much
better than the run - of - the - mill
college boxers that the rule-makers
barred all boys who had fought in
A. A. U. and “Golden Gloves”
tournaments from intercollegiate
competition.
“The kids now don’t have a
chance to learn,” Moss argues.
“There’s practically no high school
boxing, so the only boys who box
in college tournaments are ones
who didn’t take up the game until
they reached college age.”
In spite of this handicap, a cou
ple of last night’s winners looked
good enough to stir up more than

the Syracuse 120-pounder who dom
inated his division, handled him
self well and showed a terrific
punch for a little fellow. In the final
he failed to knock out Joe Cicala of
Maryland mainly because Cicala
had been coached to fight defen
sively in an effort to last and car
ried out his instructions well.
Carlo Ortenzi, a tall, handsome
middelweight from western Mary
land, also was impressive. In addi
tion to a deadly left hook that
brought him a quick knockout in
the semi-final, Ortenzi showed a
type of ring generalship that kept
him completely in command during

W. AND M. PLACES
TWO ON ALL-STAR
CONFERENCE TEAM
Duke, N. C. State, Wake
Forest Each Get Spot
On First Team
BY FRANK B. GILBERT
RALEIGH, March 8.— [B—High
scorers with high pockets were the
pick of the coaches and officials
of the Southern Conference basket
ball tournament, who named an all
tournament team for the Associat
ed Press.
The coaches and officials each
wefe asked to select a first and
second team. First team votes
counted two points, and second
team votes counted one point.
The First Team:

P. Westmoreland F ... S. Carolina
Matt Zunic C . Geo. Wash.
Jack Tabscott G ..... N. C. State
Credic Loftis G .. - Duke
It will be noted that three gents
who ordinarily clay at forward are
listed on the first team—but that
was the way the coaches and
officials wanted it. The three are
McKinney, who got 11 points for
center and one for forward; Knox,
who got 12 for forward and six
for center; and Cline, who got

the season, McKinney led with
200 points scored: Cline was next
with 196 and Knox was third with
191.
William and Mary, which was

FRED APOSTOU,
HELPED BY NAVY,
MAKES COMEBACK
Life In The Service Agrees
With Ex-Middleweight
Title Holder
BY SID FEDER
NEW YORK, Mar. 8.— (tfl—As a
walking advertisement for Uncle
Sam’s Navy and what it can do for
a young fellow, we give you Fred
Apostoli as today’s best window
display.
The ex-middleweight king, who
was rated only four years ago as
the best fighter in the world for
his weight and inches at that time,
is on the way back again with a
fair chance of making the grade.
And he credits the life of a sailor
boy with the biggest responsibility
for switching him from a washed
up warrior to that of a guy heading
up the comeback trail with a lot of
hope.
He’s a far different Apostoli than
the beaten battler who had his title
and his ears knocked off by Ceferi
no Garcia; who barely lasted
against Melio Bettina more than a
year ago. Always quiet, keeping
to himself, he fairly sparkles now
when he tells you how he feels—
stronger than at any time in three
years, able to hit harder and think
faster.
“And the Navy did it,” he said
today as he headed back to the
Norfolk base after polishing off
Augie Arellano in just under five
heats last night—the first time the
Houston husky ever was stopped
and the fourth straight kayo in the
"omeback campaign.
“Since I enlisted, this sailor life
has put me back in shape. The
environment is perfect for a young
fellow—it makes him feel right at
home. There’s nothing like it.”
This is not to say that Freddie
is ready to climb into the ring
right now with Tony Zale, the
tummy-thumping current boss of
the 160-pounders. The softspoken
Sari Francisco flailer is a lot
smarter than that. Knowing more
than one-and-one about such things,
he realizes he needs considerable
more work before he goes to the
post in the big heat.
“But I can get that in two or
three more fights like last night’s,
depending, of course, that they
don’t interfere with my being a
sailor,” he explained. “Those fights
should be spread over a few
months. Along about July I’ll be
ready to go with the big fellows
again. After all, I’m only 29 and I
figure I have two more good years
left.”
In outlining these plans, Freddy
gives you a sharper picture of the
set-up than if you’d taken one with
a camera. Last night’s affair was
strictly no contest. After the first
round, Apostoli punched Arellano
all over the place as if he owned
him.
But in making his first start
since October, when he broke his
left hand, he did show thai he
still has reflexes and coordination,
or a reasonable facsimile thereof.
These are the things so often miss
ing in a comebacking fighter—and
the fighter himself is usually the
last person in the world to discover
he’s through.

DUKE HAS BEST
YEAR ON COURT
Conference Champs Close
Out Most Successful
Year In History
DURHAM, Mar. 8.—(a*)—Champ
ions of the Southern conference for
the second straight year after their
45-34 conquest of N. C. State in the
finals of the annual tournament at
Raleigh, Duke's Blue Devils of bas
ketball folded away their togs today
and looked back over the most suc
cessful cage season of the institu
tion's history.
Everything included, Captain Hap
Spuhler and the boys in Blue won
22 out of 24 contests in intercollegi
ate competition.
Temple's Owls stopped them in
their first appearance after the
Chirstmas holidays. And George
Washington’s potent Colonials deci
sioned them late in the campaign.
Thereby becoming the only confer
ence club to defeat Dtike. That set
back broke a winning streak of 14
consecutive games.
Only the record of the 1930 Duke
team can approach that compiled by
the new league champs as far as
Blue Devil basketball annals are
concerned. That outfit, featuring
Boley arley, Bill Werber, Chalky
Councillor and Joe Croson, won IS
games and lost only two, but was
defeated by Alabama in the finals of
the old Atlanta tournament.
For Eddie Cameron, the Duke
coach who has been on the job here
since 1929, this was the third South
ern conference crown in his coach
ing experience. His Blue Devil
teams of 1938 (the “never-a-dull-mo
ment”) boys and 1941 also copped
the title.
