After two days of personal negotiations between Cub and Jackson officials, the agreement was signed. Generals Business Manager Pete Mucci said today that Chicago scouts Tony Lucadello and Gene La wing have watched the Jackson team for the past two days at Owensboro to find the weak spots. Player help to fill these weak spots has been promised immediately. The Chicago officials were originally approached for partial player assistance but proposed instead that Jackson sign a working agreement with the Cub organization. Farm Director Harrison Wickel spent much of Tuesday here discussing a possible tie-up and the final agreement was signed after he received the report of the Cub scouts who had been watching Jackson play.

Mucci said that Playing-Man-ager Lou Lucas will remain in that capacity under the new set-up. The Cubs have affiliations with nine minor league clubs: Los Angeles in Pacific Coast League; Beaumont in Texas League (AA; Macon in South Atlantic Lea cue (A); Des Moines in Western League (A); Cedar Rapids in Three-I League (B); Stockton in California League (C); Magic Valley in Pioneer League (C); Gainesville in Sooner State League (D). and Hickory in Tar Heel League (D).

Others to get hits for North Side were sophomores Jimmy Rushing, Harvey Droke and Joe Roland with one each. Weaver drove in two runs. Bill Roney pitched all the way for Union City and was plagued by poor fielding. He gave up six hits, struck out two and walked two.

His record last year was a very undazzling 7-5, and most of his wins came in a late-season spurt, long after the Sox were out of the American League race. Looks like Manager Paul Richards might have found that "difference" he was looking for by sticking with the Rochester product. Gene Conley, the Leaning Tower of Milwaukee, made a great impression in blanking Brooklyn 2-0 in his first local appearance.

The experts were dubious about his control in the spring, predicting that smart major leaguers would wait him out, but the 6-foot-8 rookie was cutting the corners against the Dodgers and coming in boldly with his fast ball when Milan Little League Finishes Player Auction, Squad Cuts Games behind figured from team with best percentage.)

Behind Polly Riley Favored In Southern Golf BIRMINGHAM, May IS iB Polly Riley, winner of four of the last six women's southern golf tournaments, became the favorite as the meet entered the quarter finals today. She whipped medalist Mary Lena Faulk; the National Amateur champion yesterday 3 and 2.

Sharing the limelight is Mary Mills, 14-year-old eight-g rider from Gulfport, who ousted Minnie Lee Ashley of Gadsden, 3 and 2. Mary, who can knock a golf ball almost out of sight, intends soma day to become a pro. She already plays, in the poise of a profession-al. Just ask Mrs. Maurice Glick of Baltimore or Miss Ashley, two experienced golfers who met here in the first two rounds.

"She's terrific, said Mrs. Glick, who lost a 23-hole match to Mary Tuesday. She has promise," echoed Miss Ashley. "I don't know that I'll be good enough to turn pro," Mary said. I realize it a long way off- after all, I'm not even in high school yet.

But I've made up my mind that's what I want to be not a teaching pro, a touring pro. I like to play this game." Ralph H. Young, Michigan State's Director of Athletics, led the East in football scoring in 1912. He played fullback for Washington and Jefferson. Joseph T.

Exhibits A and are Lew Burdette and Don Johnson, a pair of 27-year-old right-handed pitchers who once wore Yankee livery.

Burdette, now of the Milwaukee mound staff, mowed down the Brooklyn Dodgers on one hit yesterday for a 5-1 victory. Johnson gave up only two hits in pitching the Chicago White Sox to. a 1-0 verdict over Boston. Johnson, who had been relegated to the minors after a 4-3 season with. New York in 1947, was lumped together with Duane Pil-lette (now with Baltimore), Jim Delsing (now with Detroit), George Stirnwelss and $50,000 in a 1950 deal with the St.

Louis Browns that brought pitcher Joe Ostrow-ski and Tom Ferric and infielder Leo Thomas to the Yanks. Burdette was recalled from the minors in 1951 and tossed in with $50,000 in the deal with the Braves that sent Johnny Sain to New York. That trade looks better now, but at the time the experts fig ured the Yanks had come up with Delta State Netters Beat Bulldogs, 7-2 The Delta State Greenie tennis team downed the Union University Bulldogs, 6-4, 6-3, Tuesday afternoon on the Bulldog rain-swept and puddle bedecked courts.

Mark Freeman, a tall righthander up from Blnghampton, tossed a six-hitter as the Barons stopped Mobile 6-1 last night. Chattanooga's Dick Hyde, another rookie in the Class AA league, kept the torrid Lookouts on the victory trail by hurling a three-hitter In a 6-0 contest with Little Rock.
