"I want a room with a bed." "There are Murphy beds in the room," explained Scott. "Look in what appears to be a big closet. Open the doors, and pull the bed down." "Wait a minute." replied Yogi, i the receiver down, opening the doors, and i the bed down. "You don't expect me to in this thing, do you?" he said, returning to the telephone. "It might snap up i me at night." Scott had to change his room, give him one with a bed he could see smack dab on the floor.

Just a.s a key game with the I i a WMS to bouln ixt Yankee Stadium, an usher advised Scott that Mrs. Berra wanted to see him immediately concerning an Important message to her Inlmi- t.nble husband.

Berra. Joe Paige and Eddie Lopat were discussing hunting, with Berra listening in. Paige related how he and Country Slaughter of the Cardinals had hunted wild crows during the off-season. He told how Slaughter followed one crow in a crouching position through low brush so long that he wound up with a cyst. "What kind of a bird is a cyst?" asked Yogi.

A group of Yankees were refreshing war memories. One asked Berra what branch of the service he was In. "The navy," said Berra. "Were you an officer?" a Yankee who was an officer wanted to know. "Hell no," said Yogi.

"I wanted to stay with the boys." Bucky Harris gave up on Berra 'as a catcher last season, but, under Bill Dickey this trip, the thoroughly relaxed Italiano already has established himself among the leaders. He's the best and hardest bad ball hitter to come along since Joe Medwick, and a clever base- runner. A i to lil.s importance Is the fact that, with Joe- DiMaggio out, he is the New York Americans' most magnetic, attraction. "Even bigger than Tom Henrich," say Yankee officials. "Fans who don't know other players' names know his, and they know Yogi by sight--close up and at a distance." Nobody looks like him.

Nobody acts like him, especially with a bat in his hands. So it isn't hard to pick Berra out of a crowd. With his delightful naivete, Yogi, stories multiply, but Lawrence Berra, only 24 now, is writing the most interesting one himself.

It was the first time In the Frenchman's long career that he failed to last a scheduled distance, and it was his fourth defeat.

Regardless of the injury, the black-haired, gold-toothed French veteran appeared a beaten fighter when his handlers called Dr. Joseph Callaha.n, physician for Che Michigan Boxing Commission, into the ring after the ninth round to examine'the shoulder. ting because of the prowess Cerdan hod displayed ln.st September in winning the title from ancient Tony Zale on a knockout at Jersey City.
