Braves Say They'll Split
' Pitching Staff For Trade
Fly CHRIS IOMONOS
MILWAUKEE JT—Tb* Milwau-j
l Bra vac art willing to split
the haat pitching staff la the Na
tional League, but only if they can
•treagthen themselves.
‘'We're still in the market for
bench strength," said General
V-nagtr John Quinn, back from:
the major league meeting in New,
York, "but we won't give up any:
of our pitchers for nothing.
"Our pitching, I think anyone
will agree, was pretty good last,
summer. We'U listen to reason on
trades."
Quinn said he and other top
Braves brass conferred three times
with New York Giant executives,
presumably concerning the pros
pects of obtaining Bobby Thomson,
hard-hitting outfielder.
"About all they’d talk about was
Barren Spahn," Quinn said. "And
that's out of tba question. Spahn
is the leafue'i beat pitcher and
we intend to keep him."
The veteran lefthander led both
leagues in earned run average last
summer, posting a 2.10 figure, low-'
•st in seven years. He woo 23
games and lost seven.
Quinn was a bit reticent on just
who the Braves would like to ob
tain by trade. He side • stepped
questions on whether Thomson wss
a key figure and whether Frank
Thomas and Danny O'Connell of
Pittsburgh were likely prospects.
The Braves are in obvious need
of an outfielder who ctn hit,
preferably a right-handed better to
follow Eddie Mathews in the clean
up spot. Sid Gordon, the veteran
outfielder who clumped so badly,
he was benched in the final month
list season, apparently ia out of
the picture.
"Don’i forget Jim Pendleton,"
he replied when reminded of the
outfield need. "He bit only about
.373 the final month, you may re
member," Quinn added.
Pendleton, obtained through a
trade with Brooklyn last winter,
wound up with a .299 average. He
replaced Gordon in left field in
the closing stages after e brief
stint at shortstop because of an
injury to Johnny Logan. He drove
in only 27 runs, though, in 251
trips to the plate.
Although Quinn didn’t say so,
the Braves reportedly are willing
to part with such second • line
pitchers as Don Liddle, Max Sur
kont, Vern Bickford or Jim Wilson.
Even Johnny Antonelli, the young
lefthander to whom the Braves
paid a $65,000 bonus five years
ago, might be offered at balL

Mourned After
Accident Death
EL CENTRO, Calif. <JR Mes
sages of condolence by the hun
dreds reached this little Imperial
Valley town today as funeral ar
rangements were awaited for New
ell (Jeff) Cravath, former football
coach at the University of Southern
California.
They eame from officials of USC,
the school where he starred as a
player and whose teams he guided
as a coach for nine years; from
his coaching rival at Notre Dame,
Frank Leahy; from Michigan’s
Frits Crisler, who handed Jeff the
Trojrns’ worst defeat in the Rose
Bowl, and from many others famed
in college sports.
Cravath, who spent most of his
'life against a background of ex
citement and the roar of big time
football crowds, met death at a
lonely highway intersection in this
flat desert country.
Critically injured in a traffic
crash two days ago, he died in a
hospital at the border town of
Calexico yesterday shortly before
noon.
Cravath. 50, born in Brecken
ridge, Colo., but reared in Santa
Ana, Calif A came to the valley
almost two years ago to engage
in the cattle and produce business.
Leahy, from South Bend, Ind.,
described Jeff as a “tough com
petitor" and a wonderful sports
man. Crisler said he was “the
most honest man that ever lived,”
and Kenneth L. Wilson, Big Ten
commissioner, called him “a
square shooter . . . who was a
credit to his profession.”
Cravath coached the Trojans to
four conference championships and
Into the Rose Bowl four times, in
the latter games, he won from
Washington and Tennessee and lost
to Alabama and Crisler's Michigan
team.
Cravath's record at USC was 54
victories, 28 defeats and eight ties.
His overall college coaching record,’
including terms at Denver Univer-’
sity and San Francisco University,
was 76-43-9.
Cravath made no secret of his
bitterness of leaving USC, forced
out after the 1950 season by “win
or else” alumni groups.

Players, Owners
Near Agreement
NEW YORK After three
days of bitter accusations major
league baseball players and owners
seemed close to agreement today
on the pension question.
President Walter O’Malley of
the Brooklyn Dodgers, who spon
sored a resolution to consider thej
advisability of ending the pension
plan, denied he was trying to kill:
the idea.
Instead, he laid, the purpose
of his resolution was to improve
the benefits to the players.
He admitted the wording of the
resolution was “perhaps mislead-'
Ing and certainly unfortunate," but
explained that it would be neces
sary to terminate the old plan if
anew and better one was to be
put into effect.
O’Malley said the players had
every right to seek an increase
in benefits, but he added that this
could not be done under the terms
of the present contract. He said
increases in benefits could be at
tained after the current contract
expired and anew one was nego
tiated.
"But we cannot commit our
selves now for what we believe
will take place in the future,"
O'Malley explained.
O’Malley still insisted that Ralph
Kiner and Allie Reynolds, the
player representatives, agreed to
his resolution last Sept. 29 at the
meeting of baseball’s Executive
Council.
"The only one opposed to my
resolution was Commissioner Ford
Frick." O’Malley continued. "He
thought it would endanger the pen
sion plan and he did not want
to agree to anything that might
jeopardize the players’ benefits.
Kiner, Reynolds and Lewis (J.
Norman Lewis, their attorney)!
were in full agreement, however,
and signified thus in a voice vote.’’j
O’Malley also denied the con
tention by Lewis and former Com- 1
missioner A, B. (Happy) Chandler
that all the television and radio
money from the World Series and
All-Star Game belong* to the
players. i
"Chandler and Lewis know that
is not so and the players should
know it too," he said.

President Walter O Malley o? the

the club is negotiating for anew
stadium since enlarging the capac
ity of 32.000-seat Ebbcts Field
would be impossible.
He said the proposed new sta
dium would seat about 32.000 per
sons and would cost some $7,200.-
000. Three sites have been picked
for consideration.
“We hope to make enough prog
ress within the next six months
to know on way or another wheth

defeat of the season.
Minnesota caught up with the
Oklahomans after trailing by six
points at the half. Buzz Bennett
moved from his usual guard spot
into the pivot in the second half
to spark the Gophers’ comeback.
He scored 20 points.
At New Orleans Bobby Deipit,

Hal Cervini ignited a fourth-quar

Giraffe Dies
Of Broken Heart
SAN FRANCISCO Muggins,
the unloved giraffe of the San
Francisco Zoo, died yesterday at
the age of 16—victim of a broken
heart,
< Muggins came to the xoo in 1937
as a gangling infant, a gift of the
late publishre William Randolph
Hearst. He grew to a towering
16 feet and 450 pounds.
But he never found love. When
he made tentative advances to
Zoobelle, her mate Raffe chased
him off.
Muggins seemed to brood on
silent walks around his enclosure.
Three years ago, Raffe died.
Muggins perked up. But the widow
not only scorned him, she chased
him off.
Yesterday, he was found dead.
An autopsy confirmed the broken
heart d.agnosis.
Muggins’ heart had been pierced
by a piece of wire he apparently
swallowed.
The weight for the middleweight
boxing class was set at its present
limit, 160 pounds, in 1915.

Over Zulueta t
In The Garden i
•y MURAY ROSE
NEW YORK <*-JWallace (Bud)’
Smith of Cincinnati U a 2 1 favor
ite to beat Cuba's Orlando Zulueta
tonight in an important battle be
tween the two top lightweight con
tenders.
The winner of the Madison
Square Garden 10-rounder may
earn a shot at Jimmy Carter’s
lightweight title.
Starting time U 10 p.m., EST.
for the coast to coast broadcast
(ABC) and telecast (NBC).
Although they’re even for three
previous meetings—a draw and a
win apiece—Smith has been esta
blished as the big favorite because
of a current string of five knock
outs and a change in the weight
contracts for the fight.
The two first agreed to meet
at the class limit of 135 pounds
but Smith's manager had the con
tract changed to 140 pounds, give
or take a pound. The 24-year-old
Smitty fights better and bits hard
er at around 138 pounds. Zulueta.
slender and wiry, is a natural
lightweight
They first clashed years ago
and wound up *in a draw after
eight rounds. Zuiiy won the next
one at 10 rounds last March but
Smith evened the score May 5.
In his last five fights. Smith,
a power puncher with either hand,
put away Johnny Williams. Carl
Coates, Charley Spicer, Arthur
King and Billy Hazel. His record
is 26-8-5 with 15 kayos.
Zulueta, 25, has a 5-11 record
for the year and 46-189 overall.
This year he lost to Smith, drew
with Joey Brown and defeated
Luther Rawlings, Art Persley,
Paddy De'marco and Bobby

Test Case Fails
ST. LOUIS —Robert Wain
pleaded innocent to speeding on
the radar-controlled express high

a machine could pick out my car
and record its speed."
So a patrolman took the witness
stand in City Court yesterday and
explained how a radar beam re
corded on a graph the speed of
Wain's car and how the license
number was radioed to a waiting
officer ahead.
j "But,” said Wain, "there was
a car right behind me which was
going even faster and passed me."
“That’s all right," the police
man replied. "We got him too.”
"I’m convinced." Wain said.
“Judge, I change my plea to
guilty." He was fined sls and
costs. *

Big 3 Will Ask
UN To Act In
Jordan Dispute
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. UP-
The Western Big Three were re
ported readying a call for the U N
Security Council today to ask
Israel to hold off work on her
disputed Jordan River project
until she settles the issue w jth her
Arab neighbors.
1 The 11-nation council was to re-;
sume debate ioday on Syria’s
i charge that Israel is threatening
peace in the Middle East by plans
to shift some seven miles of the
Jordan River to a canal largely
in Israeli territory which would
power an Israeli hydroelectric
plant.
A source close to the Western
Powers said the reported resolution 1
would give force to the request
by the U. N. truce supervisor,
Danish Maj. Gen. Vahn Bennike,
that Israel stop work in the project
until both parties to the Israeli-
Syrian armistice agreement reach
some settlement.
This source said Britain, France
and the United States had worked
out a formula designed to bring
the touchy issue to solution with as
little friction as possible. He said
it softened Arab demands that the
Israeli project be frozen indefin
itely and at the same time sought
more flexibility from Israel, which
has agreed only to stop work while
the council considers the Syrian
.complaint.

NEW YORK UP—Major college
j football attendance for 1953 was
unchanged from a year ago—but
only because the big powers drew
large crowds—an Associated Press
survey showed today.
. The figures covered the home
games of all major conference
teams and large independents. The
over-all attendance was up. but
the increase was so small that it
was negligible.
The significant aspect of the sur
vey was that teams like Notre
Dame, Southern California. Mary
land and Minnesota kept the at
tendance at major games on an
even keel.
. Southern California’s total
jumped from 242p466 in 1952 to
412,772 this year. In five home?

To get the Slytar-oid southpaw
swinger from the Cticmau Red
legs, Lane yielded three players
-Saul Rogovm. a Sfe-yaar-oM right
handed pitcher and infielders
Rocco Krsn.ch and Connie Ryan
All four players bad to be waived
on m their own league before the
trade.
Marshall, e teammate uf Sox
Manager Paul Richards at Atlanta
in 1940 and I*4l, has led a fairly
successful nomadic life ia the Ma
jors
He was bought by the New York
Giants in :U before entering the
service for three years. He re
turned to the Giants in IMT and
reached his slugging peak by
slamming 36 homers, driving in 14?
runs and batting .MI that season.
He was traded to the Boston
Braves in I*so and in IPM was
cold to Cincinnati. Last season ia
122 games he hit IT homers, 14
doubles and 6 triples while batting
m 266 and driving in 68 runs.
Lane has been on the prowl for
a front-line third baseman without
avail. Marshall may add enough
outfield strength to permit the
shifting of Minnie Minoso from
left field to third, ia case Cess
Michaels proves inadequate.
Michaels, 27, a utility infielder,
was purchased earlier this week
from the Philadelphia Athletics.
Rogovin’s departure leaves Rich
ards with one less problem. After
compiling 124 in 1951—leading the
league in earned run average with
2.7 l—and posting 144 In 1951,
Rogovin collapsed. Last season fee
dropped to 7-12 and bis ERA shot
to 3.12.
Krsnich, 25, was always weak
at the plate but compensated with
his glove. His defensive ability
slumped along with his batting ia
1953. He batted .201 in 64 games.
Ryan, a veteran of 22, was
bought laat August from the
Phillies as an utfitld stopgap. He
hit 222 in 17 games with the Sox.
