Old Bobo made his 1953 debut by pitching for the Athletics and had the Brooklyn Dodgers popping up all over the lot as he allowed only one hit In three innings. "Shucks, Bobo," allowed Bobo, "there wasn't anything to It. I feel better than ever and have just as much on the ball." well, after all, he's only 44.

Like many top Communists, he spent World War II in Moscow, where he was believed to have enjoyed the confidence of Stalin. When the Czech government-in-exile returned home in 1945, it was Qotlwald who drafted the "Kosice program" which served as the basis of post-war Czech policy. Gott-wald, vice premier at that time, was trusted by Communists and non-Communists alike. President Benes privately spoke of him as a moderate, reasonable Communist with whom I can cooperate." The Communists won a majority in 1946 elections and Gottwald took over as premier. He still was regarded as a moderate, and his coalition government included non-Communists.

But when it came time to decide whether Czechoslovakia should slay democratic or turn Communist, Gottwald made it clear he was a Communist first, a Czech second. On orders from Moscow, he masterminded the Communist coup of February, 1948, broke all resistance by democratic parties, and forced Benes to appoint a new government. In June, 1948, Benes resigned as a final, futile gesture of protest. Parliament unanimously voted Gottwald to succeed him as president. With his buxom wife Marta.

Gottwald moved into the presidential quarters at Hiadcany castle now bristling with police guns as it never had in the days of Benes and Masaryk. That September he went to the Crimea for a "vacation" and con-fered there with Stalin and other Soviet leaders. He returned to Prague with the Kremlin's blessing as master of his party and country. Gotlwald'i last official act was as one of the chief mourners at the funeral of Josef Stalin in Moscow, here he stood in an hon-; oi'cd spot atop Lenin's mausoleum. The morning after his return to Prague, he was stricken with pneumonia.

Lost Year's Rookies May Be Able To Whip Sophomore Jinx By Steve Snider United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK 0PI Last year' rookie stars have better than an even chance of whipping base ball's "sophomore jinx" but there'' be moaning low around the Na- tional League if they don't. The pennant may ride on what happens to key second year men like Joe Black and Billy Loes of the Dodgers, Hoyt Wilhelm of the Giants, Vinegar Bend Mizell and Eddie Y'uhas of the Cardinals.

They're all pitchers with either a sharp rookie record or brilliant promise for the future. Lost Lot Of Sting The traditional jinx lost a lot of its sting last year when 10 of the top 15 sophomores came through with marks as good or better than in their rookie seasons in 1951. Most notable failures were Minnie Minoso of the White Sox and Gil McDougald of the Yankees. Of the current sophomores, Black is the most conscious of the sopho- more jinx facing him this season. Joe is a psychology student who likes to figure things out for him self.

Last season, in 56 games, he won 15 and lost only four as relief specialist, winding up the season as Brooklyn's big pitcher This spring, he is trying to de velop a new pitch to insure con tinued success and is following the identical training routine that got him in shape a year ago. If the jinx strikes both Black and Loes, the Bums are in trouble Billy added 13 victories compared to eight defeats and Chuck Dressen hopes for more, not less. Wilhelm 15-8 also is a reliever and another good year from him is a must to the pennant hopes of the Giants. In 71 games, the cagey knuckleballer had a league leading earned run average of 2 43 Eddie Stanky of the Cardinals is counting heavily on his young pitching which includes Mizell 10- 8 and Y'uhas 12-2, both second year men.

peppery little second baseman of the Giants. In the American League, there are Clint Courtney of the Browns 286, Sammy White of the Red Sox .281, and Bob Nieman of the Tigers .289. The second time around is con sidered the toughest but last year's sophomores fared better than the usual run. Mickey Mantle of the Yankees jumped from his rookie 207 to .311, Smokey Burgess of the Phillies went from .251 to .296 and proved a valuable addition to the club, while Harry "Suitcase Simpson of the Indians made rapid strides toward the stardom predicted for him.
