10 THE REGISTER-NEWS MT. VERNON, ILLINOIS WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 1951 Fort Leonard Wood Here For Exhibition Friday GRAND JURY PUTS COACH RUPP ON PAN Kentucky Menfor Admits Players Were Paid "Cagers Wanted Spending Money Like Grid- ders Got." By Associated Press NEW YORK, April Rupp, University of Kentucky basketball coach, told a New York grand jury he knew of gifts to his players from townspeople but denied it as a regular practice to give heavy gonuses after well- played games. General Sessions Judge Saul S. Streit, who sharply criticized Rupp's practices yesterday in dealing out suspended sentences to three of his former players, disclosed portions of Rupp's testimony during the grand jury's investigation of game-fixing scandals. Alex Groza, Ralph Beard and Dale Barnstable, who had pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiring to shave game points, said they had received gifts ranging up to and $100 from the coach and from team supporters.

HERE ABE SOME EXCERPTS FROM Rupp's testimony, released by Streit: Asked if it was true Walter Hirsch. another Kentucky player, had been given $50 after the Kansas game in 1950, Rupp said, "Yes, sir." Q. "And where did the money come from?" A. "This money was left over from the money that was raised to send these boys to the Olympics." Questioned on Groza's testimony that he received $50 a month from OWen Campbell, Lexington, warehouse owner, Rupp said: "I never did see him a single check for that matter. I heard, though, that he (Groza) was on the payroll even while he was in the Army." Q.

"And he was on the payroll while he was on the team?" A. "That is right." Q. "You didn't know whether he performed any service for it or not?" A. "He may not even have performed any as far as I know." Q. "Would that be a A.

"It is now, yes, sir." Q. "Would it be a violation for any of the athletes on your team to receive any additional compensation in additoin to the money given to him by the school in regular form?" A. "It is now, yes, sir." Q. "You say it was not so in 1946, 1947 1948. 1949?" A.

"I don't think so." Q. "Groza says further that Dolan Williams gave him $50 'whenever we left for a tournament' Would that be correct?" A. "I can't answer that question, no, sir. I do, know on two occasions he did that." RUPP DENIED he gave Groza extra money after a game well- played he said money was only given at the time they played on Thursday and stayed over. The Kentucky coach denied he gave Hirsch $50 after the St.

John's game and promised Hirsch $50 if they won the Sugar Bowl game in 1950. However, he said the boys complained they should get spending money like the football squad and money was given to the players after the Sugar Bowl game. Questioned on help given Wah Wah Jones, another Kentucky star: Q. "While he (Jones) was in college did he receive any additional monies to your knowledge from any source?" A. "Yes, he did." Q.

"What did he get?" A. "Well, Jones had a lot of sponsors. I think he got some money from people down in Harlan." Q. "Yes?" A. "And I think he had some sponsors in Lexington.

I knew he did." HANNIBAL DECATUR DAN'VILLE PARIS MATTOON VINCENNES MT. VERNON CENTRALIA HANNIBAL BOOST May 4-5-30-30 Aug. 1-2-3 Aug. 27-28 May 8-9 June 7-8 July 7-8-9 Aug. 4-5 May 14-15 June 9-10 July 12-13-14 Aug.

I never saw anybody with so much pep and vinegar" By JOE REICHLER NEW YORK, April 30 (AP) Rogers Hornsby, believes the signing of veteran shortstop Marty Marion was the greatest thing that has happend to the St. Louis Browns. "No player has done as much in so short a time as Marion has done for us," the Brownie manager said. "Marion is the glut that is holding the infield together. He's been an inspiration to the others.

He's a major leaguer on and off the field and he's been a great influence on the boys." Hornsby thinks the Browns' future success depends upon how many games Marion can play. He hopes Marion can play at least 100 games. The 34-year-old veieran "Mr. Shortstop" of the National League was out of action all last year following a knee operation. The 6-4 thin man also is bothered by a chronic back ailment.

"THIS IS A BETTER club than people believe," said Hornsby. "It is not playing over its head as many seem to think. It is simply a result of hustle, spirit, confidence." Next to Marion, Hornsby thinks the club has been helped most by the acquisition of Jim Rivera, the rookie centerfielder who led the Pacific Coast League in batting last year with a .352 mark. "Rivera hasn't started to hit yet the way I know he can," said Hornsby. "But he's done a wonderful job for me in centerfield.

That boy has supreme confidence in himself. He thinks he's better than anybody else. That's half the battle. "That spirit applies to the whole team. Take my rookie catcher, or THE FOUR PLAYERS that Hornsby personally recommended to Veeck to pluck from the minors, only outfielder George Schmees has disappointed.

The others Rivera, Courtney and third baseman Leo Thomas are playing regularly. Schmees, who has failed to live up to his power hitting promise with Hollvwood in the Pacific Coast League last year, has seen little service. "The boy has been sick with a nervous stomach," said Hornsby. "I still think he'll hit once he gets straightened away." Hornsby takes pride in the manner in which he's molded a big four on his pitching staff. Twenty game winner Ned Carver is supplemented by lefthanders Tommy Byrne and Bob Cain and hander Duane Pillette.

Byrne was acquired last summer from the Yankees and Cain came via a trade with Detroit last February. Neither had a winning year in 1951. Each has a 2-0 record this season. "THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN GOOD PITCHERS," said Hornsby "The only thing wrong with them was their wildness. I haven't done a thing except to stress the importance of getting the ball over the plate." To date, Byrne and Cain each have walked four in 18 innings, Carver three in 23 and Pillette three in 15.

That's an average of tess than two per game. (Tomorrow: Marion says he feels like a rookie and that he's happy to be able to play for the Browns.)

The game was delayed 65 miniftes when electricians refused to cross a picket line to turn on the Sportsman's Park lights. An augmented force of 50 policemen were sent to the park as a large crowd of 20,384 became restless In the blacked out park. Good natured at first, the fans later began stamping their feet and joined in concerted shouts. Some pop bottles were tossed over the park walls, but no one was reported injured. The pickets were members of a restaurant-barworkers union trying to organize concession workers.

The picket line finally was withdrawn after a hasty conference between Fred Saigh, Cardinal owner, and union leaders. Saigh said the decision was made "in the interest of public safety." But it would have been just as well for the Cardinal team if the lights had never been turned on. Preacher Roe, who beat the Cards seven times last year, gave up nine hits but was tough as usual in the pinches. It was the third straight Cardinal defeat. Four of the hits were by shortstop Solly Hemus, on a hot batting streak with seven hits, including tw ohome runs, in his last nine trips.

The Dodgers, victors in 18 of their 22 games with the Redbirds last year, collected 10 hits, eight of them off loser Joe Presko. Andy Pafko drove in two of the Brooklyn runs with the first of two hits. The two teams are scheduled for another game tonight. The Browns were rained out in New York yesterday, and are scheduled for a doubleheader against the Yankees today. Chicago Golden Glove Tie With France By Associated Press PARIS.

Apr. 30. Chicago's Golden Gloves boxing forces prepared today to fly to Berlin where they will meet a picked Western Germany team May 3. The Americans are still seeking their first International victory. Beaten by Ireland April 25, the Americans could get no better than a draw with a rugged French team here last night.

Each won five bouts. After the clash with Germany, the visiting Golden Glovers go to Rome for a clash with Italians 9. Then, after a brief sightseeing tour, they will return home.

New Rule on 'Nite' Ball-Loopholes? Umps Powerless to Give Fair Decision If Someone Pulls Light Switch. LITTLE SPORT By Kouson STADIUM BARKING COT Awl mkh M. By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK, April 30 There is a pk)t ready-made for some bright young baseball novelist in the latest set of instructions sent out to National League umpires on how to conduct themselves in certain crises. "In the event of a temporary failure of lights while a ball is in flight or a play in proceess," stipulates the bulletin from Cincinnati "the umpire will immediately call time and when the lights are turned on again and play is resumed, the batsman and all runners shall return to the last base touched by them at the tmie of suspension." Pull That Switch Get the idea? Score tied, last of the ninth, and a visiting geoner connects with a mighty swipe.

Obviously it's a borne run, but just before the sphre clangs into the distant stands our hero, who has mortgaged the old homestead on the locals, throws the master switch and saves the night. Possibly there would be a bit of an argument, but the head umpire would have no choice. This Is Tough One Our second favorite instruction probably is the one which cautions National League arbiters that "if two games are scheduled for one admission, the first game of the doubleheader shall be completed before the second game is started." Any umpire who gets mixed up on that one should be severely reprimanded." Illinois Beats Normal 5 to 3 CHICAGO, Apr. bases- filled triple by Jerry Baranski fused a five-run rally in the fifth inning that gave Illinois a 5-3 baseball victory over Illinois State Normal yesterday. Illinois 000 050 11 3 Normal 000 010 8 3 Potter, Ahrens 6) and Frazier; Wineburner, Hornsbruch (6) and Hartman.

225-pounder from the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for two linemen, end Tom Wham and guard Knox Ramsey. Both had been with the Cards for several years. Cold and continued to paralyzo baseball in the east and a strike threatened to black out a park in the west but followers of the Pbi- adelphia Phillies could find no gloom anywhere today Curt Simmons is back and he's in the groove. The hard-throwing, 22-year- old lefthander, three weeks out of the Army, made his first major league start in 19 months yesterday and proceeded to tame the Chicago Cubs with a smooth scven-lait performance, 8-2. Tlie trim, young southpaw 17 gamess for the Phillies and helped lead them to the National League Pennant before Uncle Sam snatched him up in September, 1950.

Simmons' effectiveness was emphasized by the job be did on Frankie Baumholtz, the Cubs' rightfielder who had hit in 11 straight games and ha carried a .422 percentage, the National League's highest, into the game. Baumholtz didn't get a smell of the ball in four times at bat. In the season's first head-on collision of east and west, the favored Brooklyn Dodgers strengthened their grip on the National League lead by turning back the St. Louis Cardinals on the masterful clutch pitching of Preacher Roe, 4-1. The Dodgers thus Indreased their lead to a game and a half over both Chicago and the Cincinnati Reds, who fell victim to the New York Giants at Cincinnati, 2-1.

Sal Maglie, the Giants' 23-game winner last year limited the Reds to three hits and singled Alvin Dark home in the ninth for the winning run. In the other National League game Warren Spahn, the Boston Braves' crack lefty, nailed Pittsburgh tighter to the cellar by humbling the Pirates, 5-1, on five hits. Only one game was played in the American League as unseasonable cold and wet grounds forced three more postponements the St. Louis Browns' debut against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium, Chicago at Washington and Detroit at Boston. They'll try again today.

In the single American League conflict at Philadelphia, the Cleveland Indians won, 21-9. The game was a wild slugfest in which the teams pounded out a total of 43 hits, 25 of them by the Indians. Bob Feller was the winning pitcher although he gave up 18 safeties. PUBLIC INVITED TO DRILL TONIGHT WHEN KINGS WILL WORK UNDER LIGHTS; 7:30 On Saturday night at 8:15 the Mt.

VVirpphnto) Hill Gail Hits New Mark In Winning Derby Trial Victory of Calumet-Owned Horse With Arcaro Up Makes 78th Derby Look Like Many Others of Past Years. GRAND OPENING KING CITY SPEEDWAY Mf.

Vernon Tire Service 13th and Broadway (STAN KOZIARA, Omier) Phone 3442 U.S. Royals Are Guaranteed for the Life of the Tread ffiiiiii II By ORLO ROBERTSON Sports Writer LOUISVILLE, April The 7Sth Kentucky Derby looked very much like some Derbies of other years with the combination of a Calumet-owned horse, trainer Ben Jones and jockey Eddie Arcaro playing the familiar favorites role. The combine moved front and center for the $100,000 added run around Churchill Downs at 3:30 p. Central Standard Time, Saturday when Hill Gail took wings yesterday and fairly flew over a mile to smash the track record in the Derby Trial. With merely flicking his whip in Hill Gail's fiice, the big son of Bull Lea reeled off the mile in 1:35 to clip one-fifth second off the track standard and leave eight other Derby eligibles far up the track.

The closest, Mrs. Gordon Guiberson's California-owned Arnoz was five lengths back. And some 42 legnths back came no less a well-rated candidate than Alfred G. Vanderbiltt's Temperamental Cousin blowing his last chance to prove his right to be in the Derby post parade. As a result of the prep, the odds on Hill Gail dropped to 8-5 today and he may go to the post at even shorter odds.

Four times In the last 11 years the devil-red silks of Calumet Farm, built on a baking powder fortune, have been carried home first in America's most famous horse race. They were Whirlaway (1941), Pensive (1944) Citation (1948) and Ponder (1949) And each time the winner was saddled by Plain Ben out of Parnell, Mo. In addition Jones tightened the saddle girth on Lawrin in 1938 tor a total of five Derby triumphs. That's a' record for trainers. Twice Arcara has been up on a Calumet winner and Whirlaway) and to'these two he adds Lawrin and Hoop, Jr.

(194.5) for a mar matched by a jockey. In fact the combination of Jones and Arcaro has never been beaten in a Kentucky Derby. The Trial eliminated from the Derby possibilities all except three horses Hill Gail. and Sub Fleet-; which finished fourth after taking the lead a quartermile from the start and then worked out the Derby distance in 2:07. Shags Tail, a longshot which finished third, will not be among those present Saturday.
