I BUMS FIND CONDITIONING TOUGH UNDER LIGHTS ifD)(g mm 2-B MIAMI DAILY NEWS, Thursday, March 22. 1951 TOPICS OF THE TROPICS Sports Editor Issues Challenge To Miss Chadwick A "swimming grandmother" who was 51 years old on March 10 is at Miami Beach in training and today, with this article, issued a challenge to the much younger Florence Chadwick, By GUY BUTLER (Miami Daily Newi fcporta Editor) It's a chill wind that blows the Dodgers no good in Miami. So chill, in fact, the Brooklyn the losing efforts of the Dodgers in their series opener with the once-futile but now potent Phils. The Phillups gave the folks a demonstration of how they won the pennant last year, coming from behind to win, 5-3, with Jim Konstanty, the great relief pitcher, coming in behind Robin third a neat pickup over second by Gran Hamner right behind that. And Duke Snider made a stellar running grab off Ennis in the fifth.

Tonight the National League champs conclude their Stadium series with Jim Romano and Clarence Podbelian mounting the mound against Russ Meyer and Bob Miller of the Phils. i I) Y4 I f- A ii English Channel conqueror and women's record-holder, to a spin around Miami Beach, a distance of some 21 miles. This would be just a tune-up in a series of tune-ups for a try at the channel herself by Mrs. Betty Cohn of Brooklyn, originally from Finland. Dr.

Harry Cohn, optometrist, is her husband and coach. She has two sons and two grandchildren. Dr. Cohn is here with her and has been drilling her almost daily in Biscayne Bay. "Last year," said the doctor, "she swam the Hudson for 12 miles and also she was in the fresh-water Lake George i powers-that-be have decided to ship seven of their pill-pushers back to Vero Beach to get into shape.

Among them: Rex Barney and Bill McCahan, pitchers; Tommy Brown and George Shuba, out infielders, all very well known in the Brooks cast. Others are Pitcher Mai Mai lette, Outfielder Bill Sharman and Catcher Dick Teed. They departed this morning for the Vero Beach base for fur ther conditioning. Others may follow later, in view of the night air and the complaints of some of the Bums that they can't seem to attune their throwing arms or find their batting eyes under the arcs, further handicapped by the cool, damp nocturnal atmosphere. Indeed, Barney walked five U.

Miami Hurricanes in the Bee game yesterday and Brown, the leftfielder, went O-for-20 at bat in exhibitions here. It was really cool in Miami Stadium last night and held the crowd to 4,006 who observed BISCAYNE BAY PHILS TOSS A BUM OUT Brooklyn Outfielder Carl Furillo slides into home during the fifth inning last night, but he's tagged out by Phllie Catcher Del Wilber.

She was in the water ZVz hours and covered 18 miles, not finishing out. She was in the Block Island swim off Rhode Island, from Nantucket Beach to Block Island. "She also participated in the Canadian National Exhibition, a women's swim, of three miles, finishing ninth in a field of 18. She wanted to get into the men's event, which was longer, but they wouldn't let her in." 'Swimming Grandmother' At Beach Dr. Cohn explained that his wife, who has been training rigorously, is eager for a clash with Miss Chadwick, the swimming secretary from California, who is now connected with a hotel pool at Miami Beach.

Doesn't Fear Waters Around Beach "As I understand it," said Dr. Cohn, "Miss Chadwick thinks the waters around the Beach might be dangerous. But we are willing to make a trial run, from the Beach to Miami, a distance of seven or eight miles, and will do ft immediately, to prove to her the sharks and barracuda and other fish are not going to be bothersome." If the Cohns keep their word, the grandmother will do this Beach-Miami turn tomorrow. Her plan is to embark for England August 6 to make a stab at the English Channel which was bested by Gertrude Ederle a quarter-century ago and then last year by Miss Chadwick. Mrs.

Cohn places her faith in a career of life-long ming and on a "secret sledge-hammer She uses the Australian crawl in regular swimming but resorts to the sledge-hammer "when the going gets tough." "I love the sea and I have no fear," she declared. She stands five-feet-five and weighs 164 pounds. On her long swims her husband accompanies her in a boat and feeds her spinach ground up like mush, wine and fruit juices to give her strength. Miss Chadwick has been in this vicinity nearly all winter, connected with the Fleetwood hotel, but she has attempted no swims. 1 1 iV-r TOniGHT-8 RLlV rfliGOLD CESTA STAKES Championship 8th Hound Eliminations in 9th Game'' WINS TWO MORE mi 0 fa OPEN Roberts, to yield three hits in the last five frames.

However, an error by Mike Goliat helped the Brooks to one run off him when singles were sandwiched in, and Bruce Edwards slugged a triple off Jim behind Morgan's walk in the eighth. Chris Tan Cuyk, the angular southpaw with 14-5 at Fort Worth last year, held the Phils in the palm of his hand for six innings, surrendering a single hit. But Ray Moore, his successor, was a soft touch as the Phils slammed him for two runs to tie in the seventh and batted around in the eighth for three more. Konstanty himself started that surge with a rousing two-sacker. Each team banged nine hits and each committed an error.

Wayne Belardi, subbing at first for Gil Hodges, who is back home welcoming a new addition to the family, slashed three sin gles to lead the hitters and Ed with a triple and single, was not far back. Goliat and En-nis belted two each for the Phils. Moore hardly being effective, Bill Voiselle pitched the last round for Brooklyn. Snappy fielding plays were Sinkwich Quitting, U-M Tilt In Doubt TAMPA, March 22 CP) All- America Frank Stanwich, who raised the University of Tampa football team from a doormat to a tough little college outfit in one season, has quit before his first year ran out. The former Georgia back, one of the game's all-time greats, said his resignation as head foot ball coach is effective April 15 Status of a Tampa spring game with the University of Miami also remained in doubt.

Robinson Cuba Bout Is Stopped BY HOWARD KLEINBERG Miami Dally Newa Staff Writer Middleweight champion Sugar Ray Robinson and manager George Gainsford, have "decided" not to go through with their scheduled 10 round main event fight in Havana, March 31 against Chico Verona. This decision followed a meeting of Al Weill, matchmaker for the International Boxing Club, Major W. H. Peeples, co-promoter of Robinson's Miami fight against Holly Mims April 5, and the Miami Boxing Commission in which the three threatened a restraining order, injunction and suit for possible breach of contract on Robinson's part, should the champ fight before he fulfilled his agreement here. However, the group did give Ray a release to fight an exhibition with his welterweight spar ring partner, Danny Womber, on the Havana card.

Also brought into the spotlight yesterday was the stronger possibility of a Robinson-Graziano title fight in the near future. Robinson's manager mentioned the fight will come off if the Iterms are agreeable." V) NO MINORS ADMITTED 1 Rosen Gets Tips From Greenberg Flip Rosen is rather a proud young man but not too proud to seek advice especially from a hitter such as Hank Greenberg was before he quit the diamond for a front-office job witk Cleveland. It seems Rosen and Ralph Kiner did some touring together after the 1950 season and the Pittsburgh slugger told Al how Greenberg, while with the Pirates, had helped his batting with some good hints. "If I were you, Flip, I'd go to Greenberg for advice." Sure enough, the Miami boy did that this spring at Tucson and Lank Hank went out to the park early with him a few days, being somewhat pleased that the youngster should consider his tips worth while. The basic correction Greenberg suggested was that Al move a bit closer to the plate to overcome his weakness on outside change-ups.

Explained Rosen, "I'm not as big as Dropo or Kiner. They're large men and can overpower the ball. "I must compensate for size in other ways. By moving up, I can get more distance on those outside pitches. Perhaps some persons who saw Hank work with me had the idea, because I was being pitched outside, that I was learning to hit to right field.

That's not so. My power is to left and I'll gladly take all my hits there." Rosen missed some of the first exhibition games because of a head cold and a strained muscle. The muscle strain was so painful he was forced to walk in a hunched position for a day. The injury came about when Al twisted quickly in a pepper game. MRS.
