As Nationals Win Title
By the Associated Frees
One of the oddest hexes in
the sports world still is alive
today, and because it is the
Syracuse Nationals reign as
champions of the National Bas
ketball Association.
This refers to the mystery
the Nationals hold over the Port
Wayne Pistons on the Syracuse
Boor. In six years and 23 games

unable to win at Syracuse.

playoffs, beating the Pistons.
92-91, for their first league title.
The Pistons, who won three
straight over the Nationals back
home in Indiana, opened up like
they were going to make up for
all those non-winning years in
Syracuse in one terrific burst.
They built up a 41-24 bulge in
the second period.
Then the Nationals started
chiseling away. They cut the
margin to 7 points at half
time. A see-saw struggle ensued
in the second half until, with

BY CARRASQUEL
BOLSTERS SOX
CHICAGO. April 11 (JP).
—Chico Carrasquel, fancy
fielding White Sox short
stop, is out to prove he’s as
valuable with the bat as
with the glove.
Carrasquel started out on
the wrong foot the first part
of spring training when he
drew a SIOO fine for not
showing up at practice.
Since that day. Chico’s
been the hottest player in
the White Sox lineup. Bat
ting .383. Carrasquel reached
base 62 times in 110 trips
to the plate during the
White Sox’ 26-game exhi
bition grind. He also has
hit in 12 successive games
and Has driven in 18 runs.
A great fielder ever since
he forced Luke Appling to
the bench in 1950, Carra
squel is now expected to
provide some of Chicago's
much-needed power.
] seconds remaining. George King
' sank a free throw and then
' stole the ball from Andy Phillip
as the clock ran out.
“I could have squeezed the
air out of that ball when I got
; it from Phillip,” King said. “I
i said to myself ‘This is the ball
game.’ I like to threw the ball
; up the ceiling I felt so good
when I got it.”
| King and Substitute Bill Ken
ville were the top Syracuse
scorers with 15 points apiece.
Larry Foust paced the Pistons
with 24.
“I can only say one thing,” A1
Cervi, Syracuse coach, shouted
through the post-game locker

Pittsburgh Sweeps
Hockey Honors in
American League
BUFFALO, N. Y., April 11 tfP).!
—The Pittsburgh Hornets have
made a clean sweep of American j
Hockey League honors.
The Hornets, who finished first
in regular-season play, copped
the league’s Calder Cup with a
4-2 victory over the Buffalo
Bisons last night.
Pittsburgh took the best-of
seven playoff championship
series, 4-2, and then departed j
by plane for a victory celebra
tion at home.
Bob Solinger’s two goals in the
second period and another by j
Ray Timgren gave the Wasps
their winning margin.
The Bisons roared back in the
remaining 10 minutes on goals
by Ken Wharram and Frank
Sullivan, but their efforts to even
the series was doomed.

Macias hooked a left to San
chez's heart and slammed him
in the abdomen with a right.
Sanchez fell, wobbled to his
hands and knees, and was un
able to get up before the count
of 10. The battle in the Mexi
cali bull ring was scheduled for
| 10 rounds.
! There was no public weighing
in of the fighters, both from
Mexico City, and no weights were
announced
After the bout Macias’ patron,
Luis Andrade, said, "We are pre
pared to fight any one the NBA
wants us to.”
In the third round Sanchez
floored the champion for a three
count. Sanchez was floored for
a two count in the fifth by a
right to the head. The bout was

Brundage Says
Melbourne Still
Can Lose Games
MELBOURNE, Australia. April
11 (A*). —Obviously disappointed
at the progress being made for!
the 1956 Olympics. Avery Brund
age, president of the Interna
tional Olympic Committee, said I
flatly today that it was not too 1
late for the games to be taken 1
from Australia.
“I would like to leave saying
I am happy,” Brundage said as
he prepared to enplane for Can
berra after surveying Mel
bourne’s preparations for the last
eight days. "But someone has to |
face facts. lam not quite happy, j
I know of at least three cities j
that could take the games over
at this late stage.
"It is not too late for the games
to be taken from Australia.”
Although Brundage evaded di
rect answers to many questions
during a press conference, there
was no masking his unhappiness
over the turn of events.
Assurance from Organizers
“In 1949, Melbourne assured
the committee the job could be
done,” he continued. “Three
years later when some nations
asked us to take the games from
Australia, we again were assured
the job could be done.
“A year ago when more na
tions asked us to take the games
away from Australia, we again
overruled them. Now I leave
Melbourne with the question in
my mind: Can the job be
done?”
Brundage said he had been
told by Governor Sir Dallas
Brooks. Lord Mayor Councillor
Fi ank Selleck, Premier Jack Cain
and many other responsible
people the job would be done.
Some members of the games
organizing committee sat behind
Brundage during the hour-long
interview, and they looked far
from happy.
After the conference, a high
I official of the committee told the
[Associated Press: “It’s a shame
i Brundage did not come here 12
! months ago. We might get some
thing done now.”
Due to Give Report
Brundage, one of the most in
fluential men in the Olympic set
up, will make a report to the In
ternational Olympic Committee
at a major meeting next month
in Paris. His report will be in
strumental in determining the!
course the committee follows. 1
The Chicago hotel executive i
i made a hurried trip here a week i
1 ago when he heard rumors that |
all was not going well. When he !
arrived Down Under, he admitted |
that his trip was more unofficial I
! than official because “unofficial” j
reports were disturbing.
Australians have been most,
worried over a dispute between
carpenters and contractors which
halted progress on the building
program two weeks ago.
Brundage will confer with
Prime Minister Menzies in Can
berra. and although he declined
to say what the subject of their
! discussions would be, he gave
j the impression that he would
j seek to have the Commonwealth
j underwrite the games.
Too Many Mere Plans
! “Every day there are more
! and more nations thinking we
have done the wrong thing in
, granting the games to Mel
bourne.” he said. “If I were
responsible for organizing the
games in Melbourne, I would
i not be very proud of myself.
“There still are too many
things in the planning stage,”
he continued. “They are good
plans but they should have been
put into operation long ago. In
i the last six years, Australia
: should have gotten a lot fur
i ther ahead than plans.
“There still are plans for run
j ning tracks. The size of the
j cycling tracks still has not been
decided upon and the Olympic
Village Is still in the planning
stage, although I feel sure there
is good organization there. But
' most of these venues should
j have been constructed even be
j fore Australia applied for the
games.”
Babe in Fine Shape,
Checkup Reveals
GALVESTON, Tex., April 11
U P).—A doctor says Mrs. Babe
Zaharlas, who had a cancer op
eration two years ago. "is in
fine shape.”
Mrs. Zaharias, scheduled to
play in the annual Babe Zaha
rias Open golf tournament in
her home town of Beaumont,
Tex., next week, left here yes
terday after undergoing a phys
ical checkup.
Dr. R. N. Moore, said. “There
is nothing wrong with her She
is in fine shape. She just had
some X-rays taken in San An

Gold Cup Tops
Final Week of •
Bowie Racing
BY JOSEPH B. KELLY
Racing begins its final week at
Bowie today with the running
of the $7,500 Bowie Breeders
Stakes, which drew a starting
field of seven Maryland-bred
2-year-olds for the 4 1 / 3 -furlong j
test of speed. Ten were entered
but Winged Impulse, Josteeva
and Living High were scratched.
Justin Funkhouser, who oper
ates the Pioneer Point Farm on
Maryland’s Eastern Shore, will
send a two-horse entry to the
| post which will be he'avily backed.
! Cubed Ice, a filly by Arctic
Prince, recently finished second
to Queen Margie in the Singing
Tower Stakes at Gulfstream!
Park.
She will be coupled with her
stablemate. All Impulse.
Case Law. owned by E. Earle
Henderson and trained by George
Deiedeman, may be the second
choice.
Bowie’s 33-day meeting will
conclude Saturday afternoon
when Boston Doge, unbeaten 3-
year-old colt from New England,
seeks his 10th straight triumph
in the $30,000 Governor's Oold
Cup at six furlongs.
A total of 51 sophomores was
nominated for the Gold Cup. but [
only a few are expected to be
entered against the Boston flash. j
Saturday afternoon at Bowie
was disappointing for nearly
everyone but Alfred G. Vander- j
bilt. Jockey Eric Guerin and the \
backers of Social Outcast, who!
won the $75,000 Campbell Handi- j
cap and paid $19.40. Social Out- I
cast, a Maryland bred, was the j
outsider in the select field of four.
But Bowie officials were very'
much let down with the crowd of i
21,016 despite perfect spring j
weather and the lure of four of j
the country’s best handicap'
horses. Wagering on the card [
amounted to $1,562,235.
No one had a reasonable ex-|
planation for the disappointing!
handle, which was topped on j
three other Saturdays with far j
lesser attractions. However, the 1
handle sent the average for 27 i
days to $1,017,012.
There was an explanation for
Helioscope's defeat at l-to-2
odds. First was the 130 pounds
the 4-year-old colt carried, which
l is two pounds over the weight
for-age scale. Secondly was the
| fitness of Social Outcast.
Trainer Bill Winfrey, who con
j ditions Social Outcast, said after
; the race. "And they almost
talked me out of sending this
! horse down for this race.’’
! Jockey Willie Hartack, who
, has been on the ground for 10
days, returns to action this after
noon and will wrap up the Bowie
riding title. His nearest com
petitor is Nick Shuk. who has 28
victories to Hartack’s 35.
Tony DeSpirito, who was in
jured Saturday when a tire on
his car blew out, expects to re
turn to riding tomorrow. He
injured his ribs in the accident.

Top Record Among
Yankees' Pitchers
NEW YORK. April 11 (>F*). —
John Kucks, rookie righthander,
has been getting the rave notices
this spring, but the best Yankee
pitching record has been turned
in by Tom Sturdivant, another
rookie righthander who had only
an 8-9 record at Kansas Cjty
last year.
. Sturdivant, a native of Okla
homa City, held the Brooklyn
Dodgers hitless in three innings
yesterday. His exhibition rec
ord shows he gave us only two
runs, both unearned, in 17 in
nings-
Kucks was added to the
Yankee roster yesterday after
only one year of professional
ball, a 19-6 season with Nor
folk of the Piedmont League in
1952 before going into the Army.

Bout Features
Week's Boxing
By the Associated Preu
Nearly three years ago the big
name was Ray Robinson and a
fellow named Bobo Olson was
trying to muscle the slick Sugar
Ray out of his middleweight title.
Bobo didn't succeed that night
of .May 13, 1952, in San Fran
cisco. but he came close. The
years have moved fast since then
and time has away of evening
things .
This week in boxings the head
liner is the same Bobo Olson,
how middleweight champion of
the world and trying for bigger
stakes—something that eluded
the great Robinson. An also-ran
on the week’s card is Ray Robin
son not so slick as in the past
and trying to recapture the skill
and speed that time has taken
away.
On Wednesday night in San
j Francisco’s Cow Palace, the 26-
i year-old Olson takes on Joey
Maxim, the ex-light-heavyweight
[ boss, in a non-title 10-rounder
| that will be telecast (WTOP in
j Washington) coast-to-coast.
j Olson hopes to whip Maxim
and earn a crack at Archie
i Moore 175-pound title. The
15-foot-lOli middleweight will
spot the 6-foot-l Maxim about
seven pounds—l7s to 168.
I The following night, the 34-
year-old Robinson faces Ted
Olla of Milwaukee in the latter’s
home town. The 10-rounder
won’t be telecast. This may be
the end of the trail for Robinson
if he fails to do well against a
so-so opponent.
Ezzard Charles, the former
heavyweight champion, isn’t kid
ding himself. He’s running out
the string fighting for money.
He’ll make less than he’d hoped
for tonight in Edmonton, Can
ada, against Vem Escoe, one
time Canadian heavyweight
champion, who is subbing for
Johnny Arthur, the South Afri
can champion, who had to with
i draw because of a virus Infection.
