Louis Cardinals, came right out and confessed today that he had done a "rotten job" in his first season as riianager. Asked what he had learned during the stormy 1952 campaign Australia Defaults UJo 0 CDSttnos AM IT MsunicrMe By STEVE NEW YORK. March 1 (UP) Angeles, Chicago and Philadelphia the 1956 Olympic Games if Australia loses the show by default. In addition to money, time, effort and desire, here's what's Baseball IF ham ics Rob Roberts Has Indian Sign on Bums NEW YORK, Mar. 1 (UP) What the Dodgers need most in spring training this year are a few lessons in how to beat Robin Roberts of the Phillies.

The easy-going righthander of the Phillies racked up the Bums six straight times last year en route to his 28-7 record. It's the biggest single whammy still run ning in the National League. The only thing like it is a 6-0 record of Bobby against the Browns in 1952 but considering the opposition involved Robin's hex rates No. 1 in the majors. There's often a reason why certain pitchers knock over certain clubs with regularity but in the case of Roberts over Brooklyn apparently it's merely a matter of the Phllly are rising to a challenge.

The Dodgers always represented the big game to Roberts in '52 and while he was having his great year he made the most of it. lie a never been noted as a Dodger-killer before. His life time record, including last sea son's 6-0, is 14 victories and 12 defeats. Roberts was 4-0 against Boston, 5-1 over Cincinnati, 4-0 over Pittsburg, and 4-1 over the Cardi nals, but he couldn't gain any better than an even break against the Cubs (2-2) and the Giants (3-3). It was a whammy in reverse for the Dodgers and Warren Spahn of the Braves.

Brooklyn trimmed the big Boston lefty five Straight times and ran out career record of 21 victories against 13 defeats batting aganist Spahn. But the strikeout king continued his mastery of Cincin nati with a 5-1 record for a life time mark of 23-7. Treached Roe of the Dodgers was 3-0 against the Cardinals and only one club in the league beat him all year the Cubs, who did it twice. Bob Rush of the Cubs was another who had great success against the Dodgers (4-0) vbut couldn't buy a victory over the Phillies (0-4). Reliever Frank Smith of the Reds wras 1-5 against the Dodgers and 5-1 against the Phillies.

Russ Meyer, now a Dodger, won three and lost none for the Phillies against the Cubs last year but was 0-5 against the Cards. Vic Raschi of the Yankees was 4-1 against Cleveland's pennant contenders but only 1-2 against the Senators. Biggest whammy in the majors for years has been Ed Xonat's amazing: mastery of the Indians. The solid Yankee lefiy has 35-9 lifetime record over Cleveland and things got so bad a couple of years ago the entire baseball populace of Cleve'and was called upon in a gag contest on "How To Beat Ed Lcpat." Even with his ailing shoulder Lopat hung up a 2-1 record last year. "But," moans Lopat.

"I can't beat the Athletics. They're my whammy." CI A 11" Olllt 31, iVHCll it i liOtlt Oil 1 LONDON. Mar. 1 (UP) British flyweight champion Terry Allen will meet title-holder Yoshio Shirai ol Japan, for the world flyweight crown in Tokyo on May 15. it was announced today.

The announcement was made by Allen's manager, Johnny Sharpe, who said that the British champion will fly to Japan about April 18. in which he brought his club home in third place after a slow start, he replied without a mo ment's hesitation: "You haven't ot enough caDer or enough pencils to write it down. And what's more. I will keep on making mistakes, but they'll be honest ones. "The perfect manager, like the perfect player, is in the graveyard.

In other words there is no such thing." 'IIow about that guy Stan Musial?" someone asked. "Isn't he almost the perfect player?" "No, he can't slide both ways," Stanky responded with a laugh. But he comes pretty close to being just about everything that it takes." Stanky then went into a serious discussion of his troubles during the first full year as manager, in which the Cards finished only 8V2 games behind the pennant-win ning Dodgers. "There were games when strategy backfired and when an other move, instead of the one I made, at a certain time might have meant the difference between winning and losing," he said. "But the big thing is not to keep making the same mistakes again! and that's what I intend not to do." berth.

Last season prior to his1 breakdown, Piersall played shortstop and right field. His most natural post is in center field. 1 s. Mm Pier sail Ieterituned To Maize Good SARASOTA, Mar. 1 (UP) "I've eliminated it from my mind," declared Red Sox Manager Lou Boudreau in discussing the mental illness which struck brilliant rookie outfielder Jim Piersall last season.

So, too, has Piersall. Completely itelaxed, well sun tanned and 20 I pounds heavier than last spring, Piersall has given no outward indication of being anything but a perfectly normal athlete. If there is a change in Jim from a spring ago, it's in determination. 'l want to play ball," he said before today's workout. "I want to make good for myself, my family and for the ball club.

Th0 Sox management treated me wonderful while I was sick. I want to show them that I appreciate it. "As to my family, I've got two nicej little girls," he continued. Tvfe got a third child due in June. I want them to have the best.

I've got to make good for them."

Fla.r March (UP) Satisfied that his pitching will do, Manager Freddie Hutchinson of the Detroit Tigers today signaled out a 22-year-old rookie shortstop as the key player in his 1953 plans. The rookie in question is Harvey Edward Kuenn just a year off the University of Wisconsin campus. 'He can make or break our infield," Hutchinson explained. If he does as well all season as he did in the 19 games he played for us at the tail-end of 1952 there's no question but what he will make the grade. Shortstop has been a weak spot for the Tigers for many years, but it looks like we really have come up with something in this youngster.

"He's definitely my shortstop for spring: training: and likely to still be when the season opens. Kuenn, an all-around athlete at Wisconsin, was signed by the Tigers for a substantial bonus and scout. George Mori-arty, who signed him, labeled the youngster as one of the best young players acquired by the club in years. The Tigers sent Kuenn to Davenport in the Three-I League, where he had a batting average of .340 and batted in 40 runs in 63 games. Then they brought him up for the final.

19 games of the American League season and the kid batted .325 and performed brilliantly in the field. But Hutchinson realizes that 19 games don't tell the story of a ball player's future and that few players ever have made the jump from a college campus to. a reg ular berth on a major league team within one year. "However, there's no reason I know of why the-kid can't make it all the way in 1933," Hutchin son said. "He has everything it takes except experience, but he came along so fast that I don think it's too much to expect him to stick.

Hes a natural hitter and a fine competitor." The Tigers were worried about the lanky youngster's draft status, but his Milwaukee draft board recently continued his 4-F classification and that, Hutchinson feels, could be a big break for the Tigers. "You have to have a good shortstop to win pennants," he theor ized, "and while I'm not thinking about a pennant this year, this kid could be the key to what the future holds for the Tigers. "I'm in a position where I have to gamble on new blood and I only wish I were as sure that some of our new players have as good a future ahead of them as Kuenn. "For that would mean the end of a road as a cellar club and a good start toward the climb to the top. Mind you, it will take time, but Kuenn is the guy who can take charge in starting up in the right direction.

SoJlau Top Scorer In Pro League PHILADELPHIA. Mar. 1 (UP) Gordon Soltau. San Francisco end who was one of the top pass receivers in, the National Foot- nail LiPaeiK last spawn riTcr wrr the scoring championship of the league, according to final official statistics released today. The former University of Minnesota star, an underwater demolition expert during World War II, scored 94 points to oust Elroy Ilirsch of Los Angeles as the ti-tleholder.

Soltau scored seven touchrowns on passes, kicked 34 extra points out of 36 tries, and made good six of his 12 field goal attempts. Cloyce Box, Detroit erfd, celebrated "his return to service by catching 15 touchdown passes to score 90 points. Lou Groza, Cleveland field goal specialist, was third, one point behind. Groza kicked 32 straight extra points in succession, a new league record, and he kicked 19 field goals on 33 attempts, another new league record. Pat Harder of Detroit was the fourth best scoter in the league with 85 points on two touchdowns running, two touchdowns passing, 34 out of 35 extra points and 11 out of 23 field goal attempts.

A swimming stadium, indoor or outdoor, a cycling velodrome, water for yachting, canoeing and rowing, ground for shooting, equestrian and distance racing, a half dozen fields for soccer preliminaries, training fields for all sports, housing for competitors and visitors. Melbourne, Australia, awarded the Game three years ao, stubbed its toe on several items but still hopes to keep the game Down Under. It it fails, the city offering the best ready-made facilities probably will win out. That seems to include Buenos Aires, scene of the Pan-American Games, and the three S. cities.

Detroit put in a strong bid for the 1956 Games at an International Olympic meeting three years ago and perhaps still would want them sometime in the future. But a three-year notice may be too short for the Motor City. Los Angeles proved in 1932 it can handle the Olympics. With its huge coliseum, nearby col legiate facilities and the strongest outdoor track spectator enthusiasm "in the U. Los Angeles would stand high on the list.

It, too, put in a bid three years ago for the 1956 games. Philadelphia and Chicago, each with vast outdoor, indoor and campus arenas within easy distance, also are well equipped as far as facilities are concerned. By combining municipal and collegiate facilities, several other cities might be able to get into the act with the proper promotion. Here's what London (1948) and Helsinki (1952) had to offer: At London, the facilities were well scattered. It used Wembly stadium (100,000) for its big show in track, gymnastics, field hockey, equestrian jumping and last two rounds of soccer.

Three indoor arenas handled boxing, swimming, basketball, wrestling, fencing and weight lifting. Yachting was 200 miles away at Torquay, rowing a long jump away at Henley, with shooting, cycling and other equestrian events also dotting points of the English landscape. It offered nine football fields for soccer preliminaries and, in addition, adequate training fields. Helsinki had its Olympic stadium a special swimming stadium, four exhibition halls and a velodrome plus the usual soccer fields, rowing, shooting, equestrian and training 'grounds. In each case, the top indoor arena handled no more than fans.

The major American cities can match or top that. And if Melbourne loses out, one of them may get the chance.
