TAMPA MORNING TRIBUNE SPORTS NEWS WANT-ADS MARKETS; TAMPA, FLORIDA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 4, 1948 13 mm Ml Li llM9 an Oldtime GULDAHL CORRALES IS STAR IN NO-HIT JUNIOR GAME Southern Team Out Of Tourney By BOBBY HICKS Tribune Sports Writer MASSEY FIELD, Dade City, Aug. 3.

It was the second consecutive no-run, no-hit game for the Tampa team.

CAPT. BILLY YEOMAN OF THE ARMY FOOTBALL TEAM is in the group of West Pointers taking flight training at MacDill Field, and it wasn't bard to get the big Texan to talk football. We contacted him at the home of Loper Lowry, a West Pointer of a few years back, and classmate of Coach Earl Blalk, the man who has developed 0 many powerhouse football teams at West Point. "I'll be clad when the football season starts," said the rangy young, aler who will play center for the Cadets for the third straight year next Fall, "I believe we'll have a strong team this year, and while I'm leaving the predicting up to Col. Blaik and the newspapermen, I'm confident we'll lick the Navy again, and that always goes to make a good season for us at the Point.

"Col. Blaik was satisfied with Spring practice, and especially pleased with some of the new men. We will have a big number of veterans back for 1948, but needed replacements." Yeoman reported the West Point contingent very pleased over their reception in Tampa, and grateful for the fine hospitality shown them by local people. "It made me feel like I was back home in Austin, said the big footballer. MAYOR I1IXON YESTERDAY CONFIRMED PERSISTENT REPORTS that the city was contemplating laying an asphalt surface on the Plant Field race track, but was just as emphatic in his statement that nothing will be done to force baseball out of the Fair Grounds.

"We may asphalt the auto race he told this column yesterday, "And If we do I believe it will be the finest auto plant in the South. "However, we have thought about the baseball problem also, and plan to eliminate the asphalt surface directly in front of the grandstand where the baseball field Is located. This would mean there would be no interference with baseball and we would still have a first-class racing plant." The mayor agreed that moving the baseball field 60 feet farther into eenterfield would not solve the problem. The fans would be too far from the action, and there would be too many cheap home runs hit over the center-field fence. "As you said Mayor Hixon, "I have always been a baseball fan.

I'm strong for the Smokers and strong for the Cincinnati Reds. We believe that as long as they want, to use Plant field the ball clubs are a real Dirt track racing men insist it is necessary to asphalt the track because Of the tremendous punishment it takes during races. "Tampa Isn't like other dirt track racing said a spokesman for the racing group, "We have more dirt track racing here than in any city in the United States. Where most dirt tracks are used four or five times a year we use ours 15 or 20. Clay surfaces cannot stand this kind of KID MASON, NEGRO BOXING REFEREE AND BASEBALL UMPIRE extraordinary, came back from the Joe Louis-Joe Walcott fight with a bad taste in his mouth, and suggests that something be done about it.

1 "These fighters who won't fight. should be fined for the rounds in which they do nothing but dance said The Kid, a rotund. individual who always turns in a spectacular performance as a sports official, either in the boxing ring or behind the plate in baseball. "Take this guy Walcott for instance. I watched him get licked by Louis and for at 'least eight of the 11 rounds, all he did was run away.

I say that he should have been fined most of his purse for such a sorry "If Louis hadn't caught him I'm afraid they would have had a lot of trouble with the crowd. I was sitting in the second balcony, and along about the ninth round I heard a lot of ugly talk among the fans. They were bitter about Walcott running away. "The boxing commission should demand that fighters who are paid to fight, either do so are suffer a big financial Kid Mason carries out his ideas when he handles ring bouts here, and there are few dull moments when the pudgy little referee is the third man in a Tampa Negro ring battle. After watching some of our better pugilists in action over a long period of years we think that The Kid may have something.

MEL PATTON, THOMPSON WIN IN OLYMPICS Grab 200-Meter and Shotput Crowns By GAYLE TALBOT OLYMPIC STADIUM, Wembley, England, Aug. 3. (JP) Mel Patton's flying feet and the powerful right arm of Wilbur Thompson brought the United States two more brilliant victories and one Olympic record today. Another near-capacity crowd saw Uncle Sam's athletes continue to dominate the track and field events of the 1948 games. Patton, 23-year-old student at the University of Southern California, flashed to a thrilling victory over his teammate, Barney Ewell of Lancaster, by less than a yard in the final of the 200 meters, atoning for a humiliating loss in the 100 meters last week.

His time was 21.1, and it was so close the timers caught Ewell in the same clocking. Thompson, also a student at USC, propelled the shot to an Olympic record of 56 feet, 2 inches nosing out two other Americans in that event and giving his country its seventh championship in track and field. School Teacher Second Completing an American sweep of the first three places, Jim Delaney, a high school math teacher in San Francisco, loosed a -throw of 54 feet, 8V2 inches and Jim Fuchs, 20-year-old Yale halfback, did 53 feet, IOV2 inches. i All three American huskies shattered the Olympic record of 53 feet, inches established by Germany's Hans Woelike at Berlin in the 1936 games. Patton fully lived up to the hopes of his college mentor.

Coach Dean Cromwell of the U. S. track and field forces, in smashing through, to win the 200 and complete his country's sweep of the sprints. Lloyd Labeach," the Panamanian, was a close third, and 'Herb McKen-ley of Jamaica, fourth. Veteran Cliff Bourland of Los Angeles took fifth and Leonard Xaing of Jamaica sixth.

Labeach was caught "at 21.2. None of the six came close to the Olympic record of 20.7 set by Jesse Owens as he completed his triple win at Berlin in. 1936, but they looked like, they wer flying. Over in the swimming pool, the S. men's 800-meter relay team cracked the world record.

The relay quartet of Wally Ris, Wallace Wolf, Jimmy McLane and Bill Smith won the final in 8:46, snapping the previous world and -Olympic record of 8:51.5 made by Japan at Berlin in 1936.

RIP COLLINS IS FIRED AS SAN DIEGO PILOT SAN DIEGO, Aug. 3 (JP) Rip Collins was today dismissed as manager of the San Diego club of the Pacific Coast League.

Bill Starr, club president, who made the announcement, said only it was "for the best interests of all concerned." He appointed Jimmy Reese, club coach, to take over temporarily as manager. Collins, whose given names are James Anthony, became manager in 1947. His departure from the club climaxes a disastrous two weeks, in which it has slipped from a near tie to a poor fourth. The dismissed manager has been in organized baseball for 25 years and was a member of the St. Louis Car dinals in the early 1930's.

I a. MAMIE, ffXTTS WANT 1 HOLD MY BREAKFAST! HesQ Cy Young, 82, Days In PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 3. P) The hand that 40 years ago pitched one of the best controlled fast balls and curves in the majors is a little shaky now. And the old boy's once powerful frame sags here and ther.

But Cy Young at 82 is a monumental character, a i living legend of men who pioneered baseball. He's still the only pitcher to win 511 major league games and owner of a record of having pitched 906 games during those 22 years. And Cy has but one complaint. Only once since 1890 when Cleveland purchased him for $300 did anyone write or say anything offensive. That was a Boston newspaper headline in 1911 which read, "Rookie Beats Cy Young.

1-0." "What hurt me," says Cy, "was that the 'busher' was Grover Cleveland Alexander of the-Phillies." Veterans on Hand Young, along with Harry Coveleskl, the "Giant Cy Williams, the famous Phil homerun hitter of the 20s, and other diamond oldtlmers were here as guests of the Phils at an "Old-timers' Day." Rain postponed the ceremonies until tomorrow night. Young likes to recall how "Pop" Anson, then in his heyday with the old Chicago Colts, guffawed when Cy was offered to the club at $300, British Praise VICKI DRAVES WINS OLYMPIC DIVING CROWN Other U. S. Stars Are Second and Third By CHARLES GRUMICH OLYMPIC POOL, Wembley, Eng land, Aug. 3.

(JP) Three graceful American diving girls from California and the powerful swimming lassies of Denmark made sweeping and record-smashing performances today In the Olympic water sports prpgram. The California trio, led by 23-year old Vicki Draves, swept the first three Dlaces in snrinEboard diving." Thus they equalled the one-two-three finish by the American men in the same event Saturday. There was a surprise element In Vicki Draves" victory over runnerup Zoe Ann Olsen, blonde 17-year-old high school senior from Oakland, Calif. For Miss Olsen had won the American springboard title for the last three years and never had lost to Vicki off the springboard in major competition. Vicki was and is considered unbeatable in the tower diving and thus may be a double-crowned queen of the Olympics by Friday evening, when the high dive is completed.

Miss Elsener Third Third place went to 18-year-old Patricia Ann" Elsener of San Francisco, with 101.30 points. While the Americans celebrated their sweep in the diving event, the Danish girls cheered one of their number 23 -year-old Karen Margrethe Harup to an Olympic record in a heat of the women's 100-meter breast stroke. She clipped a full second off the old mark, set by Nina Senff of Holland at Berlin in 1936, Miss Harup was clocked in 1:15.6. One of the last of the American women's swim team hopefuls, Suzanne Zimmerman of Portland, placed second to Miss Harup in the preliminary heat. The Danish women, with the 100-meter free style sprint already won by their Greta Andersen, are picked to succeed the Dutch girls, who were team champs in the 1936 games.

There is little doubt about the diving events. It's an American runaway. Husband On Hand Shivering as she accepted congratulations, Vicki and her husband, Lyle Draves, the diving coach she met at an Oakland pool and married, jointly announced her retirement after these games. They said they were determined to live a "normal life" rearing the five babies Vicki says she wants. Draves is an electrical engineer and a former Midwest diving champion from Iowa, who has coached both his wife and the slim blonde girl she beat for the Olympic championship.

LAKE WALES NET FINALS LAKE WALES, Aug. 3 (Special) Horace Herndon and Pinky Zipprer will meet in the finals of the city-wide tennis tournament here at 3 P. M. next Saturday. Lou Figueredo and Johnny Martinez hurled a no-hitter against Lakeland in the district finals.

Corrales In Top Form Corrales, a thin, cool righthander, had little trouble with the District Eight winners. Five men reached base, three of them on walks and two on Tampa infield errors. Fort Myers failed to get any semblance of a base hit and the Dade City fans were pulling fdr Corrales all the way, especially in the late innings when they realized he was hurling a no-hit game. Tampa went to work on Jimmy Robertson in the opening Inning to score two times and tallied one more in the second inning before Charley Hollis, a fancy lefthander, took over and stopped the winners the rest of the way. A single by George Miranda, walks to Lou Figueredo and Andy Prieto loaded the bases.

Cookie Garcia then drew a walk to score Miranda and Manual Xiques was safe on an infield error allowing Figueredo to score. Corrales' double, Miranda's sacrifice, and Roig's single accounted for the tally in the second inning. Fort Myers scored in the third as Horton walked and came home on successive singles by Wheeler and Yanke. They threatened in the seventh but a fine throw by Outfielder Frank Reading taught Horton at the plate in his attempt to score the tying run. Tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock Tampa and Orlando, each with one win and no losses, will meet in a single game.

They will play again Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock and again at 8 o'clock if a third game is necessary in the double elimination tournament.

S. WATER POLO TEAM ELIMINATED WEMBLEY, England, Aug. 3. (JP) Despite a protest, the United States water polo team was eliminated today from the Olympic tournament. Sweden expelled the Americans, 7-0 The Americans protested the first Swedish goal, contending it was made with a flag showing.

But the officials refused to allow the protest. Major Leagues "Yep," chuckled Cy, "Anson wouldn't take me as a gift. So when Cleveland bought me on Aug. 8, 1890, the first team I pitched against was Anson's and I beat him 3-0 on three hits." Young liked the way Clark Griffith used to pitch. "By Joe," he mused.
