April 1. If Rookie Leverett Spencer, who is battling half a dozen hurlers for a pitching berth with Wilmington's 1950 Blue Rocks, can keep up the pace he has set so far, sure to accompany the team when it heads north for the coming Inter-State League campaign. Possessing a blinding fast balLgood curve, and a change of pace, three 1 jf i il mi fvl weapons other hurlers sometime take five years to acquire, the husky Rocky Hill. youth has only to learn how to field his position before becoming a real threat on the mound.

Spencer, just 19 years of age hurled the final three innings yesterday wnen tne rtocss cropped tneir iourtn start in the Grapefruit League to Hartford's Eastern League aggregation at city stadium, 7 to 5. Exhibiting all the poise of a veteran. Spencer blanked Hartford with three singles and whiffed five batters.

To date he has worked but six innin giving up seven hits and a -single run. His control has been nearly per fect with but one base on bails in that time. The lone run was a homer by Jesse Levan in last Sun day's game with Hagerstown In the eighth inning of yester- 'Third Major Lea gue'j Would Include Teams From Calif, and Texas; Plan to Raid Majors NEW YORK.

Ttie Philadelphia Phillies are a good, or bad, example of the bonus system and how it affect a ball club. Because he must carry at least four bonus players, three of whom he could happily do Eddie Sawyer, the reformed professor of biology who master minds the Phillies, faces the awkward proposition of trying to win with what, in effect, is a 22 man squad as against the opposition's routine 25. And what makes the situation all more acute is the fact that Sawyer desperately needs reserve strength. In the pre-bonus days Sawyer would quickly jettison the players who did not figure to help, send them out or use them in trade, but these bonus fellows represent heavy investment and under the.

rules he must keep them, hot or cold, or lose them outright. And of course, there's always the however remote, that they might come overnight. Meantime, it adds up to a headache and a handicap. $750,000 On Bonuses No one has been more active In the bonus market than Bob Carpenter, enterprising owner of the Phillies who surprised by finishing third a year ago, 16 games back. All told, he's srent $750,000 on bonuses to young, untried players.

Up to now only Robin Roberts, pitcher, has come close to big league stature. Including the parent club and farms. Carpenter has some 45 bonus players. In the last two years he had to give up on 15. Although determined to rebuild the once ludicrous Phillies from scratch as a youth movement.

Carpenter is vigorously opposed to the bonus as it is working out.

Hartford's final tally was a hemer by Tufano in the third. Carl Bowles and Harvey Roop collected two-baggers for Wilmington in the third. The Rocks are scheduled to go ud against Hagerstown here today.

i Special to the Jour nal-E very Evening BIRMINGHAM, April 1. Under constant patient coaching, endless practice and his own earnestness, there's a young man here who is being made into a finished second-baseman. He is Mike Goliat, Whiz Kid candidate who joined the Phillies in mid-Sep tember last year. As far as the uninitiated went, the newcomer looked like a good enough second-baseman as soon as he took over. The truth was the position was strange to him.

He had been playing not second-base, but third for the Toronto Maple Leafs when he was told to report to the Phils. The second-baseman of the Leafs was Al Roberge, veteran of several shots with the Boston Braves. Withal, Mike got along better than fair, once some of the shaki- ness wore off. There was no fault to be found with the way he covered his territory and making allowances for his greenness was pretty good on the double-play. But the mastery of this is notj a thing to be picked up in a -few-games and not in the 50 that Goilat played by the time the curtain fell.

BennyBengough. one of the small band that is drilling the youngster, remarks that a second-baseman has to be a sort of dancing master in taking the throw at second and pivoting to complete the double-play. "He has to know when to take the throw on the inside of the bag," ex- plains Benny, "and make his throw to first on the inside; and wnen to take the throw on the outside. "He has to be lightning quick in making up his mind, has to learn to get just his toe or heel on the edge of the bag and get off there and throw. "That's why I say a second-base- man has to be a dancing master." While he didn't measure up to Bengough's demands for nimble-ness last season.

Mike learned something of the mechanics of the play, and did prove he had a fine throwing arm. Likewise, he proved he could move around. In the 50 games he had 143 assists, handled a total of 292 chances, figured in 31 double-plays. een or not at the position, his playing there led Frankie Frisch to tag Goliat as the player who rounded the Phillies out and made them a first -division club. Nevertheless, the ex-coal cracker of Yatesboro, has a lot to learn, a lot of monotonously repetitious practice ahead of him.

And he's learning a bit more every day.

Aussie Seeks Third Crown In AAU Meet Marshall, Yale Freshman, Seeks 440 Free Style Title at New Haven NEW HAVEN, April 1 John Marshall, the sensational Yale freshman from Australia, needs one more record breaking victory today to score the greatest triumph in the history of the National AAU swimming The 20-year-old lad from "down under" shoots this afternoon arid tonight for the 440-yard freestyle race and his third title in as many days.

The Marshall plan is to rip it off under Ohio State Bill Smith's world record time of 4.38.5. Sure, there have been other champions crowned in the forty-sixth National AAU meet, and exciting races. Yes, sir, there is a team fight going on among the Yale freshmen, Brighton-Drake Swim' Club of Atlantic City. N. Ohio State and the New Haven Swim-Club.

But hardly anybody here is talking about anything except Marshall, and you can't blame 'em. Set Two World Records After winning the 1500-meter in meet record time Thursday night, the Australian with the unorthodox 200-meters breast stroke when he was ords in a single race in winning the 220-yard freestyle last night. He hrashed through the 200-meter free- -style in 2:04.6 and the 220-yards in 2:05.5. The listed 200-metere freestyle mark is 2:03.4, set by Alex Jany of France in 1946. Bill Smith of Ohio State set the 220-yard freestyle record of 2:07.1 in 1944.

Verdeur Betters Own Mark Joe Verdeur of Philadelphia, swimming for the Brighton-Drake bettered his own world record in the strokes knocked off the world rec-clocked in 2:38.3. But he lost the 220-yard breaststroke to Bob Braw-ner of Princeton, who set a new meet record of 2:29.3. Verdeur's listed world record is 2:30 which he registered here two years ago. In addition to Marshall, and Braw- ner. other champs crowne i last night were Bruce Harlar, the Olympic champ, one-mete' dive; Verdeur, 300-yard individual medley, and the New Haven S-w lm Club (Yale) in the 400-yard freestyle Eastern All-Star Five Meets "West in Garden NEW April 1 cUR).

The garden was a -'graveyard' for All America players during the recent National Invitation and' NCAA tournaments. Of all the Americans in the tournaments, only handsome Dick Schnittker of Ohio State really lived up to his high ranking. Others, notably Bob Cousy of Holy Cross and Paul Unruh of Bradley, suffered by comparison with players who didn't rate any national honors. Schnittker, Cousy and Unruh are among the 24 seniors stars lined up for the East-West contest, but Haskins, O'Brien or a Air America like Irwin Dambrot of City College of New York might steal the headlines.

Vincent Mara will assume the duties of paddock judge, with J- R- Pryce as assistant paddock judge. Eddie Savvyer ers are making a mockery of the rules.

April 1 (JP). The turnabout National Collegiate A. A. boxing tournament reached the final stage today with spectators hesitating to predict a certain team victory for Michigan State and with only two 149 individual champions still in the running. Michigan State, with 13 points' racked up already, needs to win only one title tonight to be assured of at least a tie for team honors.

But in view of what happened to Louisiana State last night, nobody was sure the Spartans would get that one. LSTJ, winner last year, looked like a cinch when it qualified five men for last night's semi-finals. But only one of the five, defending 130-pound champion Tad Thrash, won his bout. And he barely squeaked through against Jim Reilly of Gonzaga. Meanwhile Ylchigan State won three out of four seer.

i-flnals and knocked two defending champions out of the running. At the end of the second day. the point score for the John J. Walsh Trophy was Michigan State and Maryland seven apiece. Each of the three teams with eight points has two men still in the running, so any one of them can reach 18 point maximum by winning both its bouts.

Victories in the finals count for five points while they're only worth three in the semi-finals. Spring Training Begins For Phil Farm Hands SEAFORD. April 1 (Special).
