By JOE REICHLER NEW YORK, March 31.—Lippy Leo Durocher, fiery manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, was unscathed to day after his first rift ofthe 1945 season with Branch Rickey, but his budding radio career took a definite second place to his baseball duties. KiCKey naa asserted "mere must,, be an election of professions” af-1 ter learning Durocher left the j Dodgers’ Bear Mountain camp for New York to rehearse a script for a radio appearance and was un available for an important con sultation. - But the pair emerged from a two-minute conference yesterday in perfect agreement, with Du rocher quipping “just a tempest In a teapot.” The Brooklyn boss, however, did insist that the job of managing the Dodgers must be the para mount interest of Durocher. “It’s okay for him to have broad casting commitments, but they must be incidental,” said Rickey, “baseball is a jealous mistress. It must not be divided.” The Dodgers received three pieces of news with mixed emo tions. The tidings that brought joy to both Rickey and Du rocher was that Dixie Wal ker, the club'a most determin ed holdout, had agreed to terms. His salary was esti mated at about $18,500. The bad news was that First Baseman Howard Schulti would probably not report at ail this season. Schulti was placed in 1-A recently but was given permission to finish his college career at Hamline uni versity, St. Paul. The other was the arrival of Catcher Mickey Owen with the infor mation that he would be call ed into service April 28. He had not been expected to be called until July.

Y., March 31.—m —Gunder Haegg, the fleet Swede, Is winging his way eastward aboard an airliner hoping to arrive in Buffalo in time for his farewell 1945 American race and a last chance to best his rival, Jimmy Rafferty of the New York Athletic club. If all goes well, Haegg, who boarded a plane in California late yesterday, will arrive at 4:25 p. m. just five hours before he is sched uled' to make his appearance on the 74th Armory eight-lap track for the invitation mile. The runner has been visiting his fiancee. Miss Dorothy Nortier, in Oakland, Calif., and was "bumped” from plane passenger lists Wed nesday and Thursday by priorities. Niagara Association AAU officials and the 74th Armory AA are keep ing their fingers crossed against the possibility of his being bumped again, or the plane grounded for some reason. Haegg holds a hatful of out door records, but has only 4:14.5 as his best mark on the boards, his other indoor clockings have been 4:31, 4:19 and 4:16.7, this last in Cleveland last week when he won the first race of his current tour, with Rafferty among the non-starters. Rafferty, kingpin of the indoor circuit and unbeaten this season, said on his arrival last night: "I’ve beaten the Swedish wonder three times, and I don’t see any reason why I shouldn’t make it four to morrow night.” Both he and Haegg have their sights trained on lowering the ar mory record of 4:12 set by Paavo Nurmi in 1920. The armory track is considered one of the fastest in the country. Other runners in the field are Forest Efaw of the Bainbridge, Md., naval hospital, and Rudy Simms of the New York Pioneer club. The special mile is the feature of a track and field carnival that in cludes the national senior AAU worn en’s indoor championships, first held since 1941. Also scheduled are 70 and 100 yard invitation high hurdle races i n which Haegg’s countryman, Haakon Lidman, will compete against Ed Dugger, Dayton, O., na tional AAU indoor 60-yard high hurdle champion, and Owen Cas sidy of the Columbia university midshipmen's school, national AAU outdoor hurdles king.

March 31—(/P) —Coach Carl Snavely, who moved his base of operations back to the University of North Carolina after a sojourn at Cornell, will get his footballmen down to work Monday when spring training begins.

FINAL EASTER SEALS APPEAL Successful Benefit For Crippled Children Nears Close Reports today indicated that the citizens of Shelby and Cleveland county are responding encourag ingly to the appeal to purchase Easter Seals for crippled children. Mrs. J. L. Suttle, jr., chairman, said today. Easter Sales were mailed sev eral days ago to a large number of substantial residents of the city and county. Most of them already have mailed or sent in their amounts covering the small cost of the seals, but a few had not replied this morning. Mrs. Suttle pointed out that with world-shaking questions being set tled on the battlefields of the world, one is apt to lose sight sometimes of the unfortunates here in our own midst. Children who are crippled, she said, are the con cern of the entire community. “Be cause crippled children grow up, and because they want to become contributing members of society, the program of correcting physi cal defects through medical care and surgery assumes unusual sig nificance this year. Symbolizing the program is the Easter Seal, which appeal’s every year during the Easter season. We can all do our part to support this splendid movement in buying Easter Seals and using them on our station ery." SAME OLD STORY ABOUT A BIG MOUTH—This greedy big-mouth bass took on more than he could swallow in the Pasquotank river near Elizabeth City, N. C., with the results as shown. He tried to gulp a medium sized “robbin” fish, but the “robbin” caught cross-wise in the big fellow’s mouth. Roy Sutton, lumber mill employe, saw the bass strug gle to the surface and promptly scooped him in—a total catch of six pounds. Herbert Peeler, editor and publisher of the Elizabeth City Ad vance, had this photo recorded for fisherman's posterity. NOVA TOOK A BEATING FROM BAKSI IN MADISON SQUARE GARDEN BOUT NEW YORK, March 31. — (£”>— Lou Nova took a beating from Joe Baksi at Madison Square Garden last night, but his game showing probably earned him an Easter present of an outdoor bout at the Polo Grounds this summer. A 14 to 5 underdog, Nova went down for a nine count in the fourth round, was staggered in the sixth, seventh and ninth and finished with a blood smeared face, but he struck back courageously and the crowd of 14,094 cheered him at the end. The gross gate of $46,394 brought the garden’s total receipts for 13 fight shows this year to $836,308. That rate continued would double the 1944 Intake. The next boxing program is not scheduled until 1 'ay 25 when Bobby Ruffin meets Willie Joyce. Baksi, ex-coal miner from Kulp mont. Pa., gained the unanimous decision over the Alameda, Calif., heavyweight principally because of his strong finish in the last two rounds. Early in the eighth he op ened a bad cut over Nova’s right eye with a solid left hook. The crowd was in an up roar, but Nova kept punching back and tying up Baksi in close. Noval's seconds patched the eye between rounds and although blood appeared again in the tenth, Baksi was unable to put over the knockout punch. The knockdown in the fourth resulted from a combination right to the stomach and a shove. Nova was back pedaling as Baksi rushed in and drove a roundhouse right to the body and followed through with a hard shove. Nova fell half way through the ropes, crawled back and got to one knee as he took the r lunt of nine. He gave Baksi punch for punch the rest of the round and at the end of the eighth had ral lied to almost even terms. Baksi weighed 210 1-2, Nova 200 1-2. Penna And Dodson Lead In Durham Open Golf Tourney By FRITZ LITTLEJOHN DURHAM, March 31.—(/P)—Two of golf’s “little men” —Today Penna and Leonard Dodson—unwilling to wait for inauguration of the Goggin plan, set out today to cut them selves a slice of the prize money in the $6,666 Durham open. Babe Ruth Will Be Wrestling Referee BOSTON, March 31.—OP)—Easy money to the contrary, It appears to be the concensus that Babe Ruth, who can strike a realistic pose as baseball's forgotten man, is cock ing his snoot at his old game by turning wrestling referee, but the fact is the Bam is the guy who in vented that profitable sideline. Back in 1920, just after the Yan kees had paid Harry Frazee $125, 000 for the Babe, he made his debut as a grappling official. “I guess it must have been in St. Pete," Mat Promoter Paul Bowser, the Ruthian sponsor, recalled. "It was the Babe’s first spring training season with the Yankees when he broke in as a wresting official. I know because I grappled in the main bout, which was for the mid dle weight championship, against Jack Wagner. Ruth did a good of ficiating job that night." Meanwhile Papa Paul, who is taking care of Ruth's bookings in this sector, is being flooded with offers from mat promoters in all parts of the country. “If Ruth will stick to wrestling for a year or two, he'll clean up an other fortune,” Bowser predicts. Willie Pep To Get 1 Medical Discharge FORT DEVENS. Mass., March 31. —(/P)—Willie Pep, featherweight boxer, has received a medical dis charge from the army and will be released from Lovell general hospi tal "in a few days,” army authori ties announced today. Pep, a resident of Hartford, Conn,, entered the army March 14 at Fort Devens. He previously had served nine months in the navy, from which he also received a medical discharge. MEN WANTED RALEIGH.— (/P) —The Raleigh police department, which alreadj VV*U nappy - *0 • 1UCKV pros—Tony wears a beret and Dodson affects a hat with the brim turned up in front—were the only ones in a field of 80 to break the Hope Valley Country club course 70 par in yesterday's opening round. Tiny Tony from Dayton. Ohio, paced the field with a two-under 68. Leonard had a 69. That started a scramble for the record book, as all the bet ter known marksmen were at 70 or 71, two or three ahots off the pace but within easy striking distance with 54 holes to go. I The book reveals that Penna last won a tournament in 1938, at Kan sas City. He tied Jimmy Dema ret in the western open at Hous j ton in 1940 but lost in the play j off. He led the field with a 68 i in the first round of the Miami I open last fall but his best finish ; this year was third at Gulfport. Miss. ! Dodson's last tourney triumph ! was in 1941 when he beat Ben Ho I gan and Dutch Harrison in a play | off for the Oakland open crown. He lias been consistently far down in the money list this year, among the players whom Willie Ooggin : hopes to help by his proposed re i distribution of prize money. | Yesterday Dodson was the first ! man off the tee. He breezed a | round in only two hours 36 min | utes. ■ The Greensiders were still pick ; ing the winner to come from one j of the big fellows: Byron Nelson. | Sam Snead, defending champion ; Craig Wood or Sam Byrd. Nelson and Snead, still running | neck and neck, had 71’s, as did Jug I McSpaden, Mike Turnesa, Joe | Zarhardt and the amateur star, I Ed Furgol of Utica, N. Y. numbers several uniformed police women, is being hit hard again by the draft. Another policeman left Friday; and two others will go to camp in the near future. The de partment now is short ten men. OLIVER FARM EQUIPMENT CRAWFORD HARDWARE CO.
