Ailing; Giants Battle The Flu
VERO BEACH, Fla., March 15.—=Pitchers Don Newcombe and Carl Erskine and sec
ond]baseman Jackie Robinson are the new est members on the Brooklyn Dodgers’ ail
ing list.
The two pitchers have sore arms and Rob inson yesterday pulled up with a lame leg
during the Brooklyn-Mobile exhibition ga me. Robbie aggravated an old pulled liga
ment in his left thigh and this could temporarily hold up his conditioning, since running
is what he needs. ;
PHOENIX, Ariz, March 15—
(AP)—Three New York Giants,
including Manager Leo Durocher,
are battling the flu germ.
Slugging outfielder Bobby
Thomson and infielder Roy Zim
merman are the other victims.
Durocher disregarded the advice
of club physician Dr. Anthony Pal
ermo and visited the field yester
day, but soon realized the doc was
right and returned to his hotel
quarters.
BRADENTON, Fla.,, March 15 —
(AP) — Boston Braves Manager
Billy Southworth intends to stand

will pitch the first three innings
against the Reds. Bob Hall and
Dick Donovan are expected to fol

outfield of Sid Gordon, Sam Jeth

SARASOTA, Fla., March 15—
(AP)—Dave Ferriss and Earl
Johnson, two of the most likeable
guys in baseball who had tough
seasons last year, will get a pitch

today against the St. Louis Cardi

Stephens, who has been in uni
form only three days since ending
his holdout, is listed to make the
trip and may play shortstop.
ORLANDO, Fla, March 15—
(AP)—lrv Noren, the Washington
Senators’ $70,000 rookie outfielder
from the Coast League, hasn’t had
a hit in three exhibition games. But
the Nats’ bosses aren’t worried.
“He’s just like all the rest of
those power hitters with a hitch
in their swings,” said club presi
dent Clark Griffith, “They don’t
get their timing down until they
see lots of pitching, and then they
are plain murder.

LAKELAND, Fla., March 15 —
(AP) — The Detroit Tigers un
covered a Class A-1 pitching pros
pect Tuesday in beating the New
York Yankees, 3-1, in an exhibi
tion contest.
The Bengals started 20-year-old
Ray Herbert, a Detroit high school
graduate, against the Yanks. And
in the three innings he pitched,
Herbert yielded only one hit.
He was with Toledo last season,
winning 16 and losing 17. Right
now, he rates as one of the best
prospects in the Tiger camp, but
may be sent back to the minors
for more seasoning.
TUCSON, AAriz., March 15 —
(AP)—Bob Feller, who hopes to
become a 20-game winner again
this year, was set to make his first
exhibition start for the Cleveland
Indians today. .
Manager Lou Boudreau listed
him for a four-inning stint against
the Oakland Oaks of the Pacific
Coast League. The Tribesmen re
turned to their home base after
the New York Giants handed them
a 5-3 beating yesterday in Phoe
nix.
TAMPA, Fla., March 15—(AP)
—Maybe it's just an early spring
surge of power bus those Cincin
nati Reds suddenly have become
sluggers.
They only have a 2-2 record in
their first four exhibition games,
but in the last three tilts they
have belabored Detroit Tiger and
Philadelphia Phil pitchers for 25
runs on 36 hits. .The hit produc
tion has included eight home runs,
four triples and seven two-baggers.
The Reds came through with a
7 to 5 triumph over the Phils yes
terday.
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif,,
March 15—(AP)—Home run slug
ger Ralph Kiner sprained his right
wrist yesterday in the Pittsburgh
error by the Tigers’ First Baseman Dick
Kryhoski. Detroit Catcher Bob Swift (9)
waits for the throw-in from Pitcher Saul
Rogovin.— (AP Wirephoto.)
Pirates’ exhibition game with the
Chicago White Sox. Kiner will be
out of the Buc lineup anywhere
from two days to a week.
The mishap occurred in a col
lision with White Sox first base
man Herm Reich. Pirate officials
first feared Kiner's wrist was
broken but X-rays showed no
fracture.
Athens High
Baseballers
Start Work
Athens High’s 1950 Dbaseball
squad got its first organized prac
tice yesterday afternoon as pitch
ers, catchers, and a few others
turned out for initial drills.
The remainder of the baseball
candidates are slated to come out
today and tomorrow, according to
Coach Arnold DeLaPerriere, who
will have charge of the Trojan
nine again this year.
Yesterday’s short practice ses
sion. was devoted to conditioning
work for pitchers and a short in
field drill to limber up the candi
dates for baseline jobs.
Catching seems to be the main
problem in the way of Coach De-
LePerriere, since no receivers
were on hand for opening prac
tice yesterday.
Among those returning from
last year’s team will be Sonny
Saye, a good prospect at second
base; Bobby Wallace, hustling
freshman third sacker; and Avery
Harvill, who spent some time in
the outfield last year, and might
take the mound.this season.
The Trojans lost every hurler
with any experience last year,
mostly by graduation. John Mar
shall, Billy Cook, Elliott Smith,
and Jimmy Thornton won’t be
back for another year. Harvill,
Bryant Hines, and Tom Williams
are those who seem likely to earn
starters’ role this season.
Athletic director V. C. McGinty
has scheduled four tilts to date,
with home-and-home series with
Elberton and Covington. The Tro
jans will probably play a slate of
about a dozen games, with a series
with Gainesville being included in
the schedule. X

The University of Georgia
baseball team opens its sea
son next Monday in Gaines
ville, Fla., against the Flor
ida Gators. The Bulldogs
went through an intrasquad
game on Ag Hill yesterday
afternoon in preparation for
the initial battle of the 1950
season.
Coach Jim Whatley, in his first
year as baseball coach on the local
campus, will put the Bulldogs into
action twice against the Gators—
two single engagements, Monday
and Tuesday.
The Red and Black squad will
then return to Macon on Wednes
day for a game with Mercer and
the following Saturday —the
25th, will journey to Greenville,
S. C, to play Furman. The first
game here in Athens is the 27th
(on Monday) against Duke’s Blue
Devils.
The First Team
Working on the first team in
yesterday’s game was Art Mitch
ell at first base; Paul Eskew on
second; Roland Condon, an Athens
boy, at shortstop; Bix Shoemaker
at the hot corner; James (The Kid)
Bagwell in left field; Austin Eason
in center and Billy Henderson in
right. That outfield is intact from
last season. Cotton Munsford was
handling the catching chores.
Whatley has 5 first-line pitchers
returning from last year. They are
Ace Adams, Charley Kell, Bob
Callahan, Lefty Miles and Bob
Still. Another top candidate for
the hurling corps is Jim Umbricht,
the Decatur sophomore. Jim is be
ing used some at first base also.

Kentucky In
NIT, 89 -50
By JOE FALLS
NEW YORK, iarchi 15—(AP)
The National Invitation Baskethy]]
Tournament—an old bugaboo for
Adolph Rupp—again is hauntn,
the Kentucky mastermind. Thi.
time “The Baron” sees Beaves
running about.
The Beavers —from CCNY —
dealt Rupp his worst defeat in 20
years at Kentucky in the quarte;-
final round of the NIT last nigh:
The score was 89 to 50,
Thus, City’s white-hot quintes
will meet Duquesne in the sem:-
finals Thursday night. Duquesne
advanced with a 49-47 victory over
LaSalle of Philadelphia in the
opener. Bradley and St. John's
will play in the other semi-final
game, with the finals set for Sai
urday.
“I figured we’d win this thing.”
Rupp said following the rout. “Ns
excuses, my boys were the worst
ever.”
Defeat in the NIT is nothing new
for Rupp; his “fabulous five” s
blasted out in the quarter-finals
last year by Loyola of Chicago. In
1947 it was Utah’s “Cinderella”
outfit which upset Kentucky’s fav
ored applecart in the finale. The
Wildcats did take the NIT in 1944
with a 47-46 victory over Rhode
Island State.
The 18,000 fans in Madison
Square Garden could not quite
believe what they saw.
But Rupp believed it. In fact,
he believes City could do it to his
teara anytime. “That’s one superh
ball club,” Rupp said.
