The Texas relays swung Into a 31-event grind today with the University of Texas and George Pepperdine of Los Angeles expected to dominate their respective classes. Preliminaries were held this afternoon In sprints and hurdles races of all divisions university, college and high school and there will be more tomorrow morning. Finals are tomorrow afternoon. Texas was picked to win at least four relays events and to furnish the sprint champion in flying 'Char ley Parker, who goes against a quartet of split-Hecond men In the special 100-yard dash. Parker again meets Bill Maitmeson of Baylor, who snapped Charley's five-year winning streak three weeks ago at the border Olympics; Tom Dickey of Louisiana State, who has done 9.7: Stonie Cot-ten of Baylor, who finished second to Parker last week as the Texas flier beat Martineson at the Southwestern Exposition meet, and Perry Samuels of Texas, who turned In a 9.8 this week.

The Longhorns were considered good bets for the 440, 880, distance medley and football relays, with Drake picked In the two-mile and four-mile. Michigan State in the sprint medley and Texas A. and in the one-mile. Texas also was looked upon as the most likely rec oid-breaker. The Longhorns did the 40O-vard shuttle football relay in 43 seconds flat in the Southwestern FTxDosltlon meet and that Is the record, held by Texas, in the Texas relays.

Pepperdine comes here with a team that has done in the mile relav. which is 44 over the record in t.he rollpoo class but still the fastest for this event of any eombl nation entering the Texas relays. Pepperdine also was picked to take the college snrlnt medley. There are only three relay events in this class. 100,000 Expected for Grand National Today Alntree, England, March 28 (P).

GREEN WALLS DRUG CO. Texas at Murphy Phone 6111 Iiiiprc New York, March 28 (P). F.uropean Middleweight Champion Marcel Cer-dan, who showed only his boxing skill In hjs American bow last December, uncovered his heavy artillery tonight and knocked out Harold Qreen of Brooklyn In the second round of a ten-rounder In Madison Square Garden. Cerdan weighed 159 Vi: Oreen 156 '2. With the greatest Garden crowd in a year packing the huge Eighth avenue sports arena to the rafters on hand for his second American start, the one-time French sailor from Algeria caught up with the rugged Brooklyn belter midway of the second round and put him away for the full count at 2 minutes, 19 seconds of the heat.

Until he pulled the trigger on his high hard one, the French flaller had trouble against Green's crowding, body-belting style, and the local larruper was given the first round on point. But Marcel went to work In the second, caught Harold near the ropes with a right hand that staggered the Brooklynite. Green tried to close In, but Cerdan stepped back and fired right hands with the precision and regularity of a heavy-calibre rifle Finally, one of them toppled Green and Referee Eddie Joseph counted the full ten over him. He tried to get up at eight. couldn't make it, then finally was on his feet Just after the "ten" tolled, but it was too late.

Idling around the clubhouse today after frozen greens forced postponement of the second round of the $10,000 Charlotte open, professional players discussed the chances of Mr. Golf next week In the Augusta Masters' tournament. Byron Nelson withdrew from tournament play some months ago but he was kingpin for several years and he's still Mr. Golf to his fellow pros. He Is at Augusta now, practicing, and the pros are wondering what's going to happen to him In the Masters'.

Will he be as good as ever or has the layoff from competition dulled his game? Conversation centered more on Nelson's play than on Willi Oog-gin's chances of winning the Charlotte open after his )-st round slx-under-par 66 yesterday which brought him a one-stroke lead. The White Plains veteran led a par-breaking attack on the Myers park course which saw 28 players better the layout's 72 par. A stroke behind Goggin at 67 were Dutch Harrison, York, winner here in 1944; Herman Kelscr, Akron, Lawson Little, Cleveland; Herman Barron, White Plains; Lew Worsham, Washington, and Oeorge Schoux, Mamaroneck, N. Y. Jimmy Demaret.

Ojai, the vear's leading money-winner, and U. S. open champion Lloyd Man-gum were among the five who shot 68's, shortly before the start of a snow and sleet storm which left the course in such shape that the second round had to be postponed until to morrow, with the final 36 holes Siindav. A warm sun today dried off the links. Nelson, said one golfer who played with him recently, is "hitting the ball better and stralghter than ever." He had played only four rounds In exhibitions since August before he went to Augusta to tune up.

Some pros think Nelson will win or be up with the leaders in the Masters'.

Johnny Is assistant trainer of the 1 Red Sox, but at the moment he was giving a reasonable Imitation of icorner cigar 6tore. Pouches of chew- lng tobacco bulged from the hip pockets -jt his white duck pants.

Each hand gripped another pouch. "Scrap," he said. Indicating the pouches and continuing to look for his customers, "Cronln chews plug and." he shuddered slightly at the thought, "he mixes It with chewing gum. "The players 'don't chew tobacco like they u.sed to. Used to be the first thing a boy did when he started to play pro ba.seball whs learn to chew.

Everybody went around like thev had a toothache. Now not very many chew tobacco. Even Rudy York chews gum now. Doe rr, Peky. Dom Dlmag-gio, William they don't chew anything." On a bench nearby Bucky Harris.

the New York Yankee manager, was watching the batting cae per formance of black-haired, youth with a huge Jaw which seemed to rest on his chest, and seemingly no neck at all. The boy was Larry Berra. nicknamed "Yogi." He's on the Yankee roster as catcher. "He's all right," Bucky commented. He's got power, and he won't strike out much.

Right now, though, he swings at everything." It did seem the kid was reaching all over the place to whack the ball. Berra and Joe Ciaraglola, the Car dinal catcher, offer a strange parallel In their careers. They are pals, and Joe. a veteran now at 21 with a World Series record behind him, is quite the man of the world. He takes Yogi, a first-year man.

around in troducing him as "my little pal from St. Louis." Berra weighs 183 and is built like a wrestler. Anyway, Berra and Garaglola live across the street from each other on Elizabeth street in ti. ixuui. n.

few years ago they attended a base ball school operated with WPA funds. It is not recorded as to whether that was where they learned to lean on a bat. but at any rate the instructor told the cIhbs of 300 boys that only about two would ever make the majors. He did not mention any names, but apparently Garaglola and Berra thought he was getting personal and meant them. Anyway, there they are.

Their fa'hers, Giovanni Garaglola arid Pietra Berra. work in the same' brickyard and they have brothers working in the same restaurant. It's quite easy to imastne Papa Berra and Papa Onraglola seated on their front porches of a balmy summer evening and calling across the quiet of Elizabeth street what "my Lawrence" and "my Joseph" did today. There Is no family Jealousy, we are given to understand. The parents are frlend.

Joe was signed by the Cardinals five years ago and farmed out. It is reported that Sam Breadon got him by offering to shingle the roof of the Garaglola domicile. Immediately on returning from army service last year he was brought to the Cards. Berra escaped from St. LouU t.

McKay, a college profes sor and an erudite baseball fan, wants to standardize the home run. "Its unfair now," says Dr. McKay, who Is head of the economics depart ment at Pitt and president of the City civil Service commission. "For Instance, tf a batter hits a home' run In left field at Ortffith stadium. Washington, the ball must travel 405 feet." the professor argues.

"In the Polo grounds. New York, a home run to left field only goes 279 feet. It's ridiculous. Competition is hardly fair under these conditions." What to do about It? Simple, says Dr. McKay: "Take the longest distance In left field in the majors.

That would be Washington's 405 feet. Then take thb longest right field distances, ap pioxlmately 370 feet In Philadelphia. Standardize these figures and make a home run conform to them." What to do about the parks now? "Why erect screens to catch balls that rren't hit long enough for a home run. A ground rule double could easily take care of balls hitting the screens." Dr. McKay submitted his 'Idea to Beseball Commissioner A.
