Kramer avenged earlier setback by Segura. St. Thomas More Red Smith VIEWS OF SPORT IN THE spring this is a lammister's life. February and March are a fuzzy montage of ball parks and race tracks and hotels and railroad stations, a blur of timetables on which the names all run together New York-Chicago-Santa Anita-Phoenix-Tucson-Mesa-Los Angeles-Pasadena-San Bernardino-Burbank-San Francisco Oakland- Chicago -New York. The suitcase grows smaller every time it is repacked, leaving less space for used linen.

The columns grow longer, yet always there are fragments left over. Like these: The Santa Anita Handicap was over and the stewards had taken down the number of intent, first horse under the wire, and put up that of Miche, which Intent had fouled in the stretch. Little Johnny Covalli, who rode Miche, was up in the press box talking about the foul when a fellow returned from the projection room where the movies of the race wprp shown. Su' "What did you think?" the kid asked the Police Athletic League, which will share in the proceeds of the bout. The PAL.

which sponsors boys' athletic groups, will get a cut of the gate receipts and television, radio and motion picture royalties. TUNNEY BEAT DEMPSEY It will be Philadelphia's first heavyweight title bout since Joe Louis defended his title by knocking out Gus Dorazio in the second round at Convention Hall on Feb. 17, 1941. It also will be second heavyweight championship bout at Municipal Stadium, where Gene Tun-ney outpointed Jack Dempsey in 10 rounds to dethrone him Sept. "26, 1926 in the rain before a crowd ot 120,757.

Walcott, who will be making his first title defense, and Charles will sign in the presence of PAL officials and board members. State boxing commissioner John (Ox) DaGrosa, Taylor, Jim Norris, president of the International Boxing Club, and Harry Markson, director of promotions at New York's Madison Square Garden. FIGHTERS TO GET 30 PCT. Each fighter will receive 30 percent of the net receipts. While no definite date was set for the meeting of the 37-year-old Wal cott and 30-year-old Charles, both June 9 and 16 were mentioned in New York boxing circles as possibilities.

In New York, Jake Mintz, manager of Charles, indicated it would be the 9th, when no major league baseball games are scheduled here. Before stopping Charles in their third meeting, Walcott twice lost to him in title bouts. The Camden veteran also lost two title tussles to Louis. Many boxing experts disagreed with the decision in their first meeting. WALCOTT GIVEN EXTENSION Although Walcott signed an agreement with the IBC before the bout in Pittsburgh last summer to give Charles a return match within 90 days should the title change hands, the champion won an extension of six months to make appearances before youth organizations around the country.

Later Walcott and his manager, Felix Bocchicchio, said they weren't obligated to fight Charles. Bocchicchio said the champion would defend his title in the Far West for $250,000 against Harry (Kid) Matthews. The Walcott camp also indicated interest in fighting Rocky Marciano, unbeaten Brockton, Mass, heavyweight. But when all was said and done, the champion finally consented to give Charles the return bout first. TAYLOR OPPOSED TO TV It was believed the Walcott group merely stalled to make sure of an outdoor fight and a bigger gate than the March or April indoor contest the IBC tried to line up.

Promoter Taylor said no arrangements had been made for the television and radio broadcasts of the title bout. He said "I'm in favor of theater television and I believe Jim Norris is with me on that." Taylor is a known opponent of TV, and in any event would not allow the fight to be televised in the Philadelphia area. The feeling is that the TV will be live if the bid is high enough. West Catholic Five Wins Consolation NEWPORT, R. March 28.

West Catholic High's fast-breaking attack crushed St. Joseph's Cathedral High, Sioux Falls, S. 66-45, today in a consolation Eastern States Catholic Tournament game. Joe Sturgis rolled up 24 points for the Philadelphia team. St.

Joseph's Bruce Bell and Ron Eastman scored 14 points apiece, but the losers sank a total of only 16 field goals. Held to 18-13 and 31-27 leads the first two periods, West Catholic pulled away in the second half. It led. 47-38, at the third quarter. Charlie Singley, West's star forward, won the foul shooting championship competition today by hitting on 19 of 20 tries.

The Panchos got some solace out of the evening, however, when they renewed their claim to invincibility and sewed up the doubles by beating Kovacs-Kramer in another torrid engagement, 4-6, 10-8, 6-0. Big Pancho went into the duel undefeated, having turned back Kramer twice and Kovacs' and Segura once each in the double round-robin affair. He now has a 4-1 record, while Segura is 3-2 in the race for the $3000 first prize in the $10,000 classic. INVINCIBLE AT START Kovacs didn't play poor tennis in the opening set, despite his 6-0 defeat. The big pulverizer, in fact, seemed to be sharper than ever before in the Masters.

It was just that Big Pancho was invincible all the way. Relaxed and confident the tiger ish Gonzales hit out for the lines and corners and got almost every attempt in a bewildering display of accuracy and power. It didn't seem that any player in the world could stand up against that kind of tennis, and the frustrated Kovacs could only shake his head in disbelief. In that one-sided opening chapter, Big Pancho made the remarkably low total of five errors, and the only two points Kovacs could get on three Gonzales services were in the first game when Pancho erred on a pair of easy forehands. KOVACS HIT STRIDE It appeared that Kovacs didn't have a prayer when Gonzales cracked through him for a 2-0 lead in the second game.

Frankie had a 40-15 lead when disaster struck and he dropped the game. But just when the fans were counting him out, the harassed Kovacs decided to shoot the works. Gonzales, serving in the next game, whacked over an ace for a 40-30 lead, but then missed with a drop shot and was forced into two errors to drop the game. That didn't loom large, but when Kovacs took his serve easily and followed by cracking Pancho again for a 3-2 lead, the audience started to sit up and take notice. Once in highjijear, Frankie never shifted.

Both kept their services without difficulty up to a 5-3 score, whereupon Kovacs, caught at 30-30, hit out with blistering shots to force two errors and take the set. FRANKIE FOOLS 'EM Most of audience was convinced that it was just a flash in the pan, enjoyable though it was. The big guy from Oakland has a long history of reaching the heights, only to fail to sustain his brilliance long enough. But this time he fooled them. He kept tying the powerful Los Angeleno up to 3-3, then blasted Pancho 's next serve with a stunning display of power.

Gonzales won the first point, but that was all. Frankie killed an overhead to draw even, took advantage of a doublefault and a muffed half-volley, and polished off the game by out-hitting his foe to force an error. Gonzales made his big stand in the next" game when he was within a point of cracking the victor at 30-40. But Kovacs wouldn't be denied. He poured over unreturnable power to grab the advantage and tucked the game away with a service that was too hot to handle.

GAINS MATCH POINT Things now were desperate for Gonzales. He had to take his own service and boomerang Kovacs' to Keep the match alive. He took his own at love Frankie conceded it to him, throwing three points but he couldn't co through against Kovacs' delivery. Kovacs trailed by 15-30, but he got even by forcing an error and gained match point with one of the great shots of the tournament a forehand passing shot that he had to top severely to keep it in court. Then Gonzales missed the line with a desperate attempt to pass Frankie and it was all over.

The Kramer-Segura match was a tense struggle from start to finish, utterly unlike their first collision in which Little Pancho won, 6-0, 15-13. There was never a stage in any one Continued on Page 15, Column 1 Inquirer Masters Tennis Facts TOURNAMENT STANDINGS W. L. W. L.

John's Court Foes Tonight By HAL FREEMAN Inquirer Sports Reporter NEW YORK, March 28. "If we play as we did when we won the National Invitation Tourney, we have a good chance of beating St. John's and Kansas," crafty Ken Loeffler said tonight just after his LaSalle College basketball team arrived for tomorrow's Olympic quarter-finals in Madison Square Garden. The Explorers oppose St. John's in tomorrow's doubleheader nightcap after the Peoria (111.) Caterpillars, AAU titlists, play Tinker Field, U.

In the seconrfgame, Kansas' National Collegiate Athletic Association championship team meets Continued on Page 14, Column I Castellani Upsets BrattoninlORds. With New Style NEW YORK, March 23 (UP).

Rocky Castellani. using a new aggressive style, won an upset, unanimous 10-round decision tonight over ex-welterweight champion Johnny Bratton, 152 Vi, in Madison Square Garden. Castellani, of Luzerne, redeemed his knockout defeat in his last Garden appearance on Jan. 11. Tonight, the former "runner of the ring" tore into Bratton, of Chicago, in every round and did most of the leading.

BRATTON THREATENS LATE Bratton. the favorite, appeared unable to escape Castellani's repeated left hooks and long "sneak" rights to the face. However, Bratton threatened in the last three rounds as the ex-coal miner from Pennsylvania tired under the blistering pace. Castellani, a natural middleweight. had an advantage of only two and one-quarter pounds over Bratton, ambitious to fight as a middleweight.

Rocky was stopped in the seventh round of his last Garden bout by Ernie Durando of Bayonne, N. J. Then, his manager. Tommy Ryan, slugged the referee and was accused of belting the matchmaker. HAS NEW MANAGER Now Rocky is fighting under a new manager, Tex Sullivan, and under a new trainer, Mannie Sea-mon who groomed Joe Louis for years.

The new manager-trainer combination seemed to have done the Pennsylvanian a world of good. A notoriously light puncher, Rocky tonight seemed to have new power in his blows. He staggered Bratton in the fourth and sixth rounds. And he rocked the Chi-cagoan in several other sessions. CASTELLANI STAGGERED However, in the eighth, Bratton staggered Castellani with a right that bounced him into the ropes.

Then a left hook landed on Castellani's chin, and it seemed that his buckling legs would let him drop to the canvas. But he remained afoot. There were no knockdowns in the bout. The votes, all for Castellani, were: Referee Ruby Goldstein. 6-3-1; Judge Frank Forbes, 5-4-1, and Judge Joe Agnello.

7-3. A crowd of 5916 paid $18,381 to witness the best fight staged in the Garden this year. Castellani was bruised beneath both eyes. He and Bratton bled from their noses from the fifth round on. GIARDELLO.

GIULANI DRAW Joey Giardello. 159U, Philadelphia, and Sammy Giulani, 156, Stamford, fought to a draw In the eighth-round semi-final. Giulani forced most of the fighting and landed the harder punches, but Giardello countered effectively with solid left hooks to the jaw and rights to the body. Giardello had the edge in the first half of the bout while Giulani showed his best in the second half. There were no knock downs.

The Yanks did salvage some enjoyment in thatj they made four double plays, making a total of nine in two games.

Turk Lown and Johnny Klippstein Continued on Face 14, Column 6 I Fox for 11 hits and nine runs in five innings to gain a 9-7 triumph before 1783. The setback snapped the Phils' string of seven victories over junior league rivals and gave the Bosox an even break in the two-game series.

The Phils now have an 8-9 record in the Grapefruit League, while Boston has a 7-10 mark. WILLIAMS HITS HOMER A home run by Ted Williams, the Red Sox slugging outfielder who is scheduled to receive his physical examination for the Marines on April 2, provided Boston's eventual margin of triumph. It capped a five-run rally in the fifth inning that put the Sox in front, 9-2. It was also Boston's final hit (the Sox did not get a man on base against Robin Roberts, Jim Konstanty and Andy Hansen in the last four stanzas). The Phils, faced with a 9-2 deficit, made a determined stand and almost pulled the game out of the fire when they chased southpaw Bill Wight with five tallies in the seventh.

But Ellis Kinder, the Red Sox fireman, halted the flareup, and southpaw Bill Henry blanked the losers' ciphers in the eighth and ninth. Mel Clark was the Phils' big gun. The sturdy West Virginian, who played left field because a southpaw started for the Red Sox. had a homer and double, and battled in five tallies. RED SOX HAMMER FOX Clark drove home the first two runs off Maurice McDermott with a double in the first frame.

Then, with two on base, two runs home and one out in the seventh, he walloped the ball over the rightfield wall for three more runs. Del Ennis, who had three safeties, drove in the other two runs when, with bases loaded and one out in the seventh, he sent a sizzling two-bagger against the right-center wall. Fox, the former Cincinnati Reds hurler, started for the Phillies and did not turn in a very good performance. He was the victim of bad luck and his own ineffectiveness and was in hot water throughout the five innings he worked. RYAN SNAPS SLUMP In the first inning, the Sox combined four hits, including a poorly handled fly ball that went for a two-bagger and a looping hit over second base, to score two runs.

The other seven, however, were all well earned if anything hit over Clearwater's short right-field fence can be called well earned. Connie Ryan, who has been hitting the ball solidly but ineffectually of late, came out of his slump with two solid singles. Ennis, Clark and Ryan made seven of the Phils' eight hits; pinch hitter Lucky Lohrke got the other. Roberts looked superb in his two innings as he ran his pitching record to three runs in 21 innings. Konstanty did a nice job in his one inning, and Hansen also continued his fine work.

"We trained here in 1947," he related, "and one day we ran into conditions just like these.

But we all had to sit around, and finally it stopped raining. We still didn't figure we'd be able to play, though, but Southworth our skipper called out the ground crew.

The Illinois State Athletic Commission today suspended former lightweight champion Ike Williams for six weeks. The commission said the suspension was to allow Williams to recuperate from his fifth round technical knockout by Chuck Davey at the Chicago Stadium Wednesday night. Under the recent agreement between Illinois and New York, Williams also would be unable to fight in New York. Blinky Palermo, Williams manager who is not licensed in Chicago or New York, was quoted: "Ike can quit any time he wants to as far as I'm concerned. He doesn't need to fight.

rS- "Well," the guy said, "he didn't pull I a knife on you." Nr. "Thank you," Covalli said. fc In Phoenix, Leo Durocher was work- urn ing with the Giants. In his 46th year, the man is incredible. No player slaving for physical fitness works half so hard and steadily as the little shepherd of Coogan's Bluff.

There is none more agile fielding hoppers and line drives in a pepper game. His fungo is a squirrel rifle for accuracy. He is never idle and never silent; he hustles and shouts, prodding the players, conning them, goading them, ribbing them, leading rather than driving. "I say it reluctantly," a bystander remarked, "but I've got to say, here is the best manager the Giants have had since John Mc-Graw. And much as I idolized McGraw, I question whether his tyranny would go down with the players of today.

Whatever else you may say about Durocher, he is a leader." IN MESA, Phil Cavarretta was politely reticent about his Cubs, perhaps because there is so little anybody can about those gum-chewing striplings in a tobacco-chewing game. In San Bernardino, Billy Meyer was like a kindergarten teacher among the babes in Pirate uniforms, tolerant, patient, fond and hopeless. A man in Los Angeles was in training for a business meeting with Branch Rickey. Once you've got the hang of it, he said, talking business with Rickey wasn't too tough an assignment. "Just get a good night's sleep," he said.

"Don't drink; keep your mouth shut, and your hands in your pockets." Leo and Laraine Durocher were entertaining in the splendiferous Santa Monica diggings. Wide-eyed rookies wandered about ogling the Hollywood delegation. Everybody wore an identification tag, each composed in rhyme, except the host's. His read: "I'm Mr. Day Abner Double, that is." "Some of these young ball players," a guest murmured, "won't ever be the same again." "They'll want to be managers," another replied.

"I was just thinkin' aboot that myself," said Bobby Thomson. He has just the trace of a Scottish burr. It is more pronounced in the speech of his mother, a charming lady whom he brought to training camp. Some days earlier, Mrs. Thomson had been telling how she tried to listen to the radio during the Giants' last playoff game with the Dodgers in October.

She was too nervous. She switched off the set. Then a neighbor came in crying: "Bohbbie hit a home rrrrun!" In her excitement. Mrs. Thomson rushed downstairs and scrubbed the basement floor.

STALLED by snows in Nevada, the Eastbound train was a day late. Fred, the waiter in the lounge car was a fight fan. The bartender was a former trombone player in jazz bands who had met a radio executive at an Alcoholics Anonymous party and became, for a time, a news commentator. The Pullman conductor had played ball with Waite Hoyt on a Baltimore drydock team, had followed the races, had written a race track novelette which a movie company didn't quite buy. He just happened to have the typewritten synopsis on him.

"It's about a horse named Fitz," he said, "and I call it 'Fitz's Maybe that's bad boxofnee, but it's like 'Pigs Is I never wrote anything before, but my mother was related to Sidney Lanier, the poet. Now, in my story, this old couple lives in a shack down in the Virginia hills and every night they see the lights of this streamliner go by. They don't know what it is, this serpent of light hootin' through the hills When a crack train fails to keep schedule, all additional meals necessary are on the cuff. "Last time we're stalled," said Bob, a dining car waiter, "a lady come in and bring four others and they all began eating steaks. Before that, they'd been buying sandwiches in the stations." "They don't tip, either," Bob said.

"No tips at all." Copyright, 1952 Chance Good, Says Loeffler; Kansas Weary, But Hopeful Camp Washout 8 By ART MORROW Inquirer Sports Reporter FT. LAUDERDALE, March 28. For the first time since they began Florida training Feb. 20 the Athletics were completely washed out today. Rain cancelled their exhibition here with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Neither Jimmy Dykes nor the International League club management would subscribe to the theory, but it was perhaps just as well. An afternoon off hurt none of the A's. They have lost four in a row, and some feel they may be a mite overtrained. Overtrained not so much physically, but mentally: it has happened to the A's nearly every spring they've trained at West Palm Beach; and, for that matter, elsewhere. The old gang is breaking up Danny Havas and Pete Adelis departed yesterday, and even bat boy Jimmy Gladulich was on his way North this morning and the players feel there's nothing more to be gained here.

They could not have performed here today even though the downpour had stopped. The infield turned quagmire, and the outfield became Rival Hopes to Halt Lovellette's Punch KANSAS CITY, March 28 XTP). Dog-tired Kansas, new NCAA champion, and two giants from the National AAU field squared away today for the first leg of the U. S. Olympic basketball eliminations tomorrow night.

A sellout crowd of 10,200 is expected for the Kansas' City half of the first round. The other half will be played in New York's Madison Square Garden.

It was the first knockout Smith has suffered in his four-year career. Minnesota Loses, 7-1 COLLEGE STATION, March 28 (UP).

Princeton Defeats English in Squash PRINCETON, N. March 28. Princeton's squash racquets team handed Cambridge University's touring squad its -seventh straight defeat, 4-2, in Dillon Gymnasium this afternoon.
