NEW YORK Os" Slender Curt Simmons, back from the Army to
m»kc> rtff pennant contender out of the Philadelphia Phillies dis
closed today that he would be ready to take his regular turn on
the mound ‘‘within a week or IS days."
-Expectations had been that the southpaw With the sizzling fast ball
would not be ready for anywhere from three weeks to a month. But
as the Phil ties opened the season against the New York Giants. Sim
mons disclosed that he had been readying himself for months by
throwing in the vast privacy ol an Army airplane hangar in Germany.
“I don’t say I could start right now.” he explained, “because my
legs aren’t in real good shape. But I could pitch relief right this min
ute. But give me another week to sharpen my running and my con
trol and I’ll be aching to get in the game regularly.”
, It was good news to the Phillies, themselves. They hadn't seen Sim
mons. who set them on the pennant trail before being inducted in
September. 1956, until Saturday. And his return still hasn't been
hashed out all around in the rush of homecoming irom spring train
ing.
‘‘l’ve still got my speed, I guess.” he grinned happily. “Os course
my control may not be perfect—because I’ve had about a 10-day layoff."
Actually, big Curt is straining at the leash like an eager greyhound.
Slightly heavier than when he went into service, he is as hard as rock.
“Re’s a good kid.” commented Manager Eddie Sawyer. “He al
ways'has kept himseli in fine condition. When he came up all we
had to do was teach him how- to pitch.
“That he knows, and while I don’t want to take a chance on
hurting his'arm because he hasn’t done enough running to get his legs
in top shape. I could use him right now.
“We haven’t been a good ball club since Curt left,” Sawyer add
ed; “Well, he’s back—and so, I believe, are the Phillies."
Simmons listened and actually glowed. Last season he had little
time to think of baseball. But when the news came that he was on hi 3
way back, the big fellow who won 17 games in 1950 started getting
himself ready. Those lonesome days in a hangar in Germany are
going to start paying off now, and sooner than anybody expected.

New Davidson Grid Coach To Hold Late Practice
DAVIDSON, A long awaited
event is about to happen on the
Davidson College campus - in fact,
this week.
Rill Dole, Davidson’s aminable
new Head Football coach, is calling
a belated Spring practice, and in
dications point to about 30 men
answering the whistle.
After spending a long, hard week
on the road “prospecting” for new
talent to fill the coffers for the
coming fall campaign, Dole hat*
been huddled for the past few days
with Backfield Coach Tom Fetzer
and Line mentor Chuck Clements
in organizing the spring drills.
Dole’s biggest headache, and
there's no known aspirin that will
cure this in a hurry, is finding top
replacements for such graduated
stalwarts as Bill Freeman, Jerry
Kiser. Bill Reynolds, Ham Wade
and Jack Branch. The big gaps
left by these boys will have to be
sodded with freshman and sopho
more talent - mainly freshman.
With 20 days of practice all that
is allowed to any school. Dole’s work
is cut out for him. Not only does
he have to acquaint himself with
the boys ramaining on the squad,
but he also has to install his own
version of the tricky “T” forma
tion. There is also talk floating a
round that he will use some modi
fications of the Notre Dame box.
The ball carrying department is
in good shape. Back for action are
stars Jimmy Thacker. Henry Brown
Jack Ruth, Leroy Fargason. and
Bob Amos. Filling the holes up
front for these horses to ride be
hind is the big 64 dollar query.

Mqrcianp Gets Second
KO Over Buonvino
PROVIDENCE. R. Ij (IP) Rocky
Marciano was more confident than
ever of getting a crack at the
world’s heavyweight boxing title to
day after a smashing second round
knockout over Gino Buonvino of
Italy.
Weighing 189 3-4, the Brockton.
Mass., contender was satisfied after
the fight he had erased the im
pression left by his mediocre per
formance in his last fight against
Leo Savold.
The knockout punch was a jolt
ing right across which many of the
4,592 fans at Rhode Island Audi
torium failed to see. The second
round had brought the fans to
their feet as Buonvino, beaten once
before by Marciano, tared rights
and lefts with him in the center
of the ring.
Marciano has been eyeing a crack
at the title against the winner of
a proposed bout between champion
Jersey Joe Walcott and Ezzard
Charles and the Brockton boy's
performance last night showed him
at his sharpest, although against
an inferior opponent.
Yesterday's medal round failed
to determine the 64 entrants out of
the field of 150 who will participate
in match play since 12 golfers were
tied at 80.
The five remaining places will be
decided by match play today.

the fine Campbell club to seven hits
and no more than two runs in an
inning, the third inning and short
stop Askew made some outstand
ing fielding plays for Louisburg.

The skinny New York battler, 25
and single, was inducted Into the

his stay in the Army. Thus waiving
the rule requiring champions to de
fend every six months.

By FRED DOWN
(United Press Sports Writer)
NEW YORK ’(IB Bobby
Thomson, the cure-all lor New
York Giant problems in 1951. was
back at the old stand today with
familiar medicine, and he was just
In time to prevent Manager Leo
Dqrocher from pulling out his few
remaining gray hairs.
The home run hero of the 1951
pennant race, whose bat had been
strangely silent this year, burst out
of his coma last night with a re
mendous homer which sparked t h e
Giants to a 10-4 victory over the
Philadelphia Phillies.
Bobby had entered the game
with an anemic .143 batting aver
age. Thompson obviously had been
over-eager in the Giants’ first five
games. He had made only two hits,,
had not knocked in a run, and was |
deafly pressing.
Then, Bobby, in his first game
on the road, dispelled Leo's doubts.
He sent a Homie Fox serve in the
first inning soaring to the roof of
the left field pavilion at Shibe
Park.
Wljitey Lockman, who had
walked, trotted home ahead of
Bobby. The rest of the New York
ers took heart, grabbed their bats
and went to work.
A GIANT SIZE JOB
When the night was over, Don
Mueller had also crashed his first
homer of the year, and Willie Mays
and Henry Thompson had clouted
triples in the Giants’ heaviest out
burst of the season.
The Giants were back at the
.500-mark, the damage caused by
their faltering start of three losses
in four games negated.
Jim Hearn went 7 2-3 innings to
record his 12th victory over t h e
Phillies in 14 decisions. Dave Koslo
took over for Hearn in tne eighth
inning and finished.
Two other pitchers maintained
curious ‘‘jinxes” over rivals in the
three other big league games
played yesterday and last night.
Vic Raschi made his life-time
mark a spectacular 22-2 against
the Philadelphia Athletics as the
New York Yankees rolled to an
easy 5-1 voctory.
Cuban Julio Moreno of Wash
ington, only pitcher to b® 4l the
Boston Red Sox this year, did it
a second time with a 3-2, seven
hit job.
HURLS THREE RITTERS
Towering Paul Minner pitched a
three-hitter as th? Chicago Cubs
TUESDAY ABTERNOON, APRIL 22, 19»
defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates,
7-1, in the only other game.
Raschi, who has yet to pitch
nine innings in spring training or
a regular American League game
this year, tired in the eighth in
ning and needed help from Bob
Kuzava, but won his second game
of the campaign, both over the As.
Mickey Mantle homered for the
Yankees in the first inning, and the
world champions reeled off four
double plays in support of their
pitchers for the third straight
game.
A disputed umpire’s decision
marked Moreno’s victory over the
Red Sox. Umpire Joe Paperella
ruled a single by Faye Throne
berry had nicked Walt Dropo,
running from first to second, with
the result that Dropo was called
out and Don Lenhardt, who had
crossed the plate, was ordered
back to third base.
Moreno then retirea the side and
' held the Red Sox at bay the rest of
the way.
The Cubs routed rookie Ron
Kline with seven runs in the first
two innings, and Miner pitched
artfully thereafter to send the
Pirates down to their fourth con
secutive defeat.
Rookie Johnny Merson's home
run. his second, spoiled Minner’s
bid for a shutout in the fifth in
ning.
