Robinson Lauds His Replacement By JACK HAND SARASOTA, Fla. tfl - The kid who chased Jackie Robinson off second base is a 24-year-old Negro from Nashville by the name of James (Junio) Gilliam, fresh from the Montreal farm. In fact, Gilliam still is on the Montreal roster, pending final ac tion by the Brooklyn brass. They want to be sure before they make their move. Manager Charley Dressen is al most as sure as you can be at this stage of a spring training season. "If he continues as he has up to now, he’s got to play second base,*’ said Dressen. “Hitting is the only question. If he can hit .260, he can help us. He looks like a fine leadoff man.” Robinson, moved out of his regu lar job by Gilliam, has this to say about the newcomer: “He can get balls that I can’t touch any more. If he hits .275, I think the club will be strongest with him at second base. He is fast. He has a good arm. The only question to me is the double play. He isn’t a polished double play man—yet. M Gilliam, a switch hitter, is get ting his big chance after only two years of organized ball—both at Montreal. Last year he hit .301 and was named the most valuable player in the International League. He isn't exactly a novice at the game, having played in the Negro leagues since 1945, when he was only 16. “It seemed like I always was fooling around a ball park,” he said. “Down home in Nashville, us kids always were hanging around Sulphur Dell. That’s where I started with Nashville in the Negro Southern League in 1945. “Next year 1 went up to Balti more, where I live now. and played with the E lite Giants. I was there for five years until Brooklyn bough; me.” Patty Berg Faces Tough Battle NEW ORLEANS if Veteran Pattv Berg faces t|e final round of the $3,500 New Orleans Women’s Open golf tournament today with her one stroke lead threatened by a wrist ailment and a formidable field.

Florida Man Cops Second Relay Trophy By F. T. MACFEELY GAINESVILLE, Fla. haired J. L. (Papa) Hall must be running out of space in his trophy case. He picked up the Kearney-Ray bun memorial trophy, top individ ual award in the Florida Relays, Saturday for the second time. The lad from Tallahassee who has helped bring football as well as track glory to the University of Florida, won it first in 1951. That year he also won the na tional collegiate and national AAU high jump titles. A leg injury hampered Hall’s jumping last year and cost him a trip to the Olympics. But now he’s back at his peak and rates as the top collegiate high jumper. He has won the national indoor AAU title already. Hall won the high jump in the 10th Florida Relays with, for him, a shallow jump of 6 feet 7V inches. At that it beat the 6 feet 6% record he set a year ago. In between leaps he ran the 100- yard dash in 9.8 seconds, forcing Jackie Creel, Auburn’s Southeast ern Conference champion, to tie the record of 9.7 to win it. Hall also anchored the Florida quarter mile relay team which finished a close second to Auburn. A record entry of more than 600 college and high school trackmen promised no new records. Only Hall looked like an outstanding performer. But in addition to his record breaking high jump and the record-tieing dash by Creel, there were two new relay records. Tennessee’s two-mile relay four some cut the mark from 7 minutes 55.3 seconds by Minnesota in 1949 to 7:50.6. Alabama’s mile relay team covered the distance in 3 minutes 21 seconds compared to Mafyland’s 3:23.4 of 1949. Mary land bettered both old records but finished second in each event. Team points are not given in the relays, but an unofficial com pilation based on 5. 3,2, 1 in individual events and 7,4, 3, 2 in relays, gave Florida first at 38 points. Louisiana State was second at 22*. Auburn third with 20'1 and Alabama fourth with 20. AND THEN THERE WERE THREE BRADENTON.

Indian, Giant Pennant Wins Seen By Scribes By ED CORRIGAN AP Sportswriter If you want to take the word of the experts, the Cleveland Indians and the New York Giants are the teams that will win the major league pennants if the New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Dodgers falter. The Indians this spring have been playing the kind of baseball one would expect of a pennant con tender. But then, the Indians had many • observers convinced they would take the Yankees last spring. They always seern to look good in the training season. But there’s always that one year that would be the one. A1 Lopez’ team now has won six in a row from major league opposition, including yester day’s 15-3 slaughter of the Giants. They also hold a 6-2 lead in the se ries with Leo Durocher’s opera tives. The Giants, on the other hand are fair game for the viewers with alarm. They’ve been playing poor ly as the statistics will show. There’s no need to go through the entire list. Suffice it to say they have lost their last five games and 10 of their last 12 against major league opposition. And Durocher doesn’t even have his lineup set. He still had Hank Thompson in center field yester day, and it’s pretty generally agreed that Bank can’t make the grade. Bobby Hofman played sec ond base and Davey Williams pinch hit. The Giants pulled out of Phoenix today and they play the Indians in eight states before arriving at the Polo Grounds. Durocher, who has been spending most of the spring denying that he was worried about the perform ance of the Giants, made no bones about being displeased with the barrage to which three of his pitch ers were subjected. All told, A1 Corwin, Hoyt Wilhelm and Reuben Gomez were pounded for 17 hits, including two home runs, two tri ples and three doubles. They also gave up nine bases on balls. The Dodgers and Yanks, mean while, went at each other as though the World Series were at stake in St. Petersburg, with the Brooks winning out, 1-0, to pull even in the exhibition series, 2-all. Johnny Podres and Joe Black held the world champions to five singles While Jim McDonald went all the way for the Yanks. The Dodgers made only four hits and their one run came about in the second inning when Jackie Robinson w alked, went .to third on a double by George Shuba and scored when Roy Campanella grounded out. The Detroit Tigers, who are playing like anything but tailend ers, defeated the Boston Red Sox, 11-7, for their 11th victory against five defeat* in Grapefruit League competition.. The Washington Senators, with Jackie Jensen hitting a home run and two singles to raise his bat ting average to .407, defeated the Milwaukee Braves, 10-7. It took an assist in the form of four errors, but the St. Louis Car dinals, who have been having their troubles all spring, stopped the Cincinnati Reds, 9-4. Harry Byrd, who is trying to work his sqay out of the Philadel phia A's doghouse, took a step in the wrong direction when he went all tpe way against the Philadel phia Phils and was clubbed for a 10-7 loss. The Chicago White Sox and St. Louis Browns divided a double header. The Brownies won the first, 6-4. on three runs in the ninth, while the Pile Hose, behind Tommy Byrnes’ six-hit pitching took the nightcap—a seven-inning affair—s 3.

N C. (Jfi-The tramp athlete is passing out of the sports picture. The top professional athletes to day often have business brains as well as muscle, and when old Fath er Time finally forces them out of competition they can retire gracefully with a rice nest egg to start a fresh career. Typical of these new business men-athletes* is Olto Graham. 31- year-oid star quarterback of the Cleveland Browns football team, who is vacationing here with his pretty wife, Beverly. Tossing touchdown passes is Otto’s specialty - he has thrown more than 100 in hts seven-year career as a pro- and they net him about $20,000 a season. Some athlete* with an income like that would be content to spend the rest of the year fishing-or just plain resting. But not Otto. He is active in a food packaging concern and acts as assistant branch manager in Cleveland for a life insurance company. ‘‘When I do drop out of pro fessional football, 111 just go a little deeper into life insurance,” he said. “I figure you can’t compete in football much after 35 at the latest, and I don’t want to play after I’ve passed my peak.” Otto already has outlasted the ordinary athlete's competitive life time because he take* almost re ligious care to keep in shape. “I don't drink or smoke, and never have,” he said. “I don’t *ay that drinking or smoking in mod eration hurts an adult athlete--but they can’t pcs ibly do him any good either.” Graham is so void on the virtues of proper conditioning that be makes 40 to So speeches a year on the subject to high school groups. A six foot 206 pounder, Graham keeps fit with golf during the off season. He is handsome, boyish looking, and despite his size re sembles the muuc teacher be one* wanted to be more than a pro fessional athlete.
