It was only a formality for 22-year-old Sandy was way out front on all three official cards.

Scalzo had It 5-2. and both Judges Otto Suss-kind and Joe Eppy scored it 6-1 up to the eighth. Only 1589, paying S3292, were present for the nationally televised bout In which Beau, a New Canaan (Conn.) boxer, substituted for the ailing Willie Troy. There were no knockdowns or anything close to' It Beau won the fifth but took a solid pasting in the seventh and eighth. "I fought according to plan," said Sandy.

"I expected to run away until he got tired and then give him the bombs." Sandy has no definite plans for the future. He has won Jl of 12 since he left the Golden Gloves. It was the third time Beau failed to go the route in 41 pro fights. He had dropped a close fight to Frenchman Pierre Langlois, March 29, his first outing in almost a year.

Second Victory; In League Play By Harold Tuthill Froebel Gaines, coach of the Suburban League champion Web. ster Groves team a year ago, has found a couple of distance-going pitchers who have fired the hopes of the Statesmen for another title-winner. Gaines tested Noel a against Ladue Thursday and he delivered a 8-1 triumph, Yester day Galnos called upon Wayne Thompson to work seven Innings against Maplewood and this time Webster carved out a 13-2 victory on the Leafs' diamond.

Webster wasted little time forging Into the lead. Bo Toft walked to start the game, went to third on Bob Sadawskl's single and scored on Ed Land'i error. of Charles James's grounder. Don Carter and Dick Schweider followed with singles and when Don Buercklln grounded out Schweir dr raced to third. After Hersyiel O'Kelley struck out, Schweider was out attempting to steal home but the four runs Webster produced were enough to win the game.

The Statesmen made It 6-0 In the third when Schweider tripled, and Buercklln homered. Hank Kuhlmann, Webster catcher, also got a homer in the seventh. Dick Wright Maplewood start ing hurler, was taken out in the fifth and George Sweet replaced htm.

Winners and runners-up in the Junior and novice divisions will qualify for the April 25-26 competition at Chicago. game here last night tives Mendel Rivers South Carolina, and Harlan C. Hagen Minnesota, got this special treatment. Rivers made the only outfield catch, too. Umpires-Zeke Bonura, Jimmy Bloodworth and Ed Levy, all former major league players, borrowed a rule from the Congressmen in making their decisions.

In case of a dispute, the umpire counted the number of protesters from each team and decided in favor of the majority. This gave the Democrats an advantage. They had 24 in uniform to the Republicans' 13. The Democrats got 12 hits off Representatives Ostertag, New York; Bates, Massachusetts, and Ayres, Ohio. But Representative C.

W. Bishop, Illinois, manager of the Republicans, said it will be different when Representative Glenn Davis, Wisconsin, is available to pitch in June. Weather dealt the city series a low' blow last year, rain twice preventing an attraction that definitely deserved the designation as a "natural." Bill Veeck had brought his magic to town to build up the bedraggled Browns and brought back Rogers Hornsby as manager. Eddie Stanky, long time foe of the had been named pilot of the Redblrds to succeed Marty Marion, then trying a comeback with the local American League club. Fred Saigh, the Redblrd owner and ball park tenant, was feuding with his new landlord, Veeck.

A year later Veeck Is the tenant rid, having tried to sneak the Browns to Baltimore month ago, no longer would walk off with a popularity contest. Acting quickly in the wake of reports that the Cardinals would move to Milwaukee, Anheuser-Busch recently acquired the St. Louis National League club. Saigh and Hornsby 'are out of the baseball picture here, and Marion, who managed 'the Redbirds the last time the two "home-town teams met, now is of the Browns. Sunday Game at 2 O'Cloek.

4 And the ball park, which was Soortsman's Park for more than 75 years and Budweiser Stadium for fewer than 24 hours, now is "Busch Stadium. In the opener of the scheduled 'two-game series for the city title Tield by the Browns since 1945, 'the National League Redbirds will be the home club, wearing their home uniforms and occupying the third base dugout. The Sunday cdhtest will be at 2 o'clock and Browns will exchange their "gray flannels for the home suits and will take over the third base bench convenient to the club-' houses. The last time fhe Cardinals made their city rivals say "uncle" was In the unforgettable 1944 Vorld series, the one and only played entirely in St. Louis.

The Browns took the '45 city series and the clubs split annually until '51 when, playing two games at Houston before meeting twice iere, the American Leaguers won ihree out of four. In the all time Inter-club rivalry the Browns won 19 series and .93 games while the Cardinals, who more often have gone to things, have held the city title 10 times and won 83 contests. Nineteen series have been shared. Trucks Against Haddix. Pitching today's game will re -a.

big righthander and little lefthander beginning their, first sea-con in St. Louis uniforms. For the Browns it'll be husky Virgil Trucks, the former Detroit fireballer who is Manager Mar-km's choice to open the American League season here Tuesday night against his former teammates. Trucks will go only three innings in his final tune-up and will be followed by southpaw Dick Little-iield. For the Cardinal wiry Harvey Haddix, who came out of service last August to make his major league debut, will be on the hill to go nine innings if possible with his fast ball, curve, slider and sharp control In the Sunday game rangy, young Vinegar Bend Mtzell also will attempt a complete-contest performance for the Cardinals while little Harry (The Cat) Bre- jheen, a long-time Bedbird, will test his cunning against his old comrades for the first time.

Of the nine players in the Browns' opening lineup, only Bobby Young, the slick-fielding second baseman, is a front-line holdover from last spring. An' other Brownie regular, Catcher Clint Courtney, is sidelined with a fractured finger. Lots of New Faces. The only American League varsity man completely new to Sportsman's Park er, Busch Stadium is the highly-publicized 100.000 shortstop, Bill Hunter. However, this will be the first city series here for ex-Detroit Stars Vic WerU and Johnny Groth, and the first since 1950 for the third regular Browns' outfielder, Dick Kokos, who was in service the last two years.

A year ago at this time, showing further how quickly situations can change, Roy levers was an outfielder drydocked with a shoulder, separation while Jim Dyck was a rookie outfielder. Now Dyck is a third baseman and Sievers Is the club's first baseman. The Cardinals, though more of a ttand-pat club in recent seasons, have more new faces in their No- 1 batting order than any time in years. Solly Hemus, Red Schoendienst, Stan Musial, Enos Slaughter and Del Rice will need mr introduction. Even big Steve 'Bilko has got this far before, but 'never so impressively.

Ray Ja-blonski, the third baseman, and Repulski, the center fielder, entirely new and Haddix, as has had only six weeks of major league experience. The St. Louis clubs come up to this preliminary test with almost identical records. The Browns won 38 out of 31, the Cardinals 17 of 21. Grlesedleck Waives TV Rights.

The 83-year-old Nichols, whose sports career spanned two generations, became ill a year ago with a neck ailment.

His top salary with the club was $3000. Ifli fet mark.

wa irj, 1882 when he won 35 games and lost only 16. Nichols took pride in two things. One was his election to baseball's Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, N.Y.. in 1949. The other was the face he never was removed from; a game for a relief hurler.

Between the time he left Boston and his retirement from the majors he managed both the Cardinals and the Kansas City club of the Western League.

M. (Fireball) Wheeler Georgia, out of Congress. Wheeler pitched all the way in the five-inning game and gave up only five hits when practically any fly ball to the outfield was a base hit.

He struck out seven. And he hit a double, one of three extra base hits in the game. It took an hour and a half to play the five innings. That was because of frequent filibusters, appeals to the rules committee and an extra special treat for any Congressman to get more than a single. On the rare occasion of the extra base hit, play was stopped and a pretty girl In a bathing suit presented the hitter with a watch at second base.
