U.S. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEYf United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP) Mickey Mantle is dashing around the country picking up innumerable awards this winter and it should come as no secret that he probably will strap on the Hickok 'gold and diamond belt Monday night as the pro athlete of the year. Nothing has been announced on this officially but Mantle's! chief opposition for, Rochester Yankee Sluiggeii Schedules 1957 Contract Talks, By UNITED PRESS Mickey Mantle, 1956 triple cixjwn batting champion, arrived in New York Wednesday fo4 what he termed "a preliminary meeting" with Lee MacPhail, thef Yahr ftes director of player personnel. The Oklahoman said "nothing much" came out of the contract talks with MacPhail, who was sit ting in for vacationing General Manager George Weiss.

Mantle said he plans to leave New York for Chicago Friday. During his weekend visit tp the Windy City he plans to attend a sports dinner at which Weiss and Yankee Manager Casey Stengel also will be- honored guests It was learned Mantle was offered a $5,000 increase over his reported 1956 salary of $32,500 in his intial contract. And, although it may take: time, the Oklahoma Kid and Weiss eventually are expected to settle in the range. Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Braves' continued to line up their biggest stars for the 1957 National League push with the announced signing of third baseman Eddie Mathews. The Californian hit 37 homers and ad 95 runs-batted-in during 1956, but his batting average slipped from .289 to .272.

1 Outfielder Jackie Jensen the last Red Sox player to coine to terms last year, was the first to sign his 1957 contract with the Boston club. The Red Sox also announced the signings of veteran southpaw Mel Parnell and rookie outfielder Marty Keough. The Brooklyn Dodgers signed infielders Randy Jackson and Charlie Neal, bringing to 22 the number of players under contract for the coming season, while outfielder Wally Moon became the 30th r.iember of the St. Louis Cardinals to sign on the dotted, line. Other signings included phcher Connie Johnson, Baltimore! Orioles; infielder Tom Carroll, Catch er John Blanehard and outfielder Marion Zipfel, Yank pitcher.

Provoan Seen With Dempsey On This Is Your Life' Show (UP) A little guy with a crew cut had the already confused featherweight boxing situation in a jumble toda; all because he wouldnt believe the oddsmakers.

Gil Cadilli, a lithe scrapper from San Francisco, accomplished that feat Wednesday night by dancing and Jabbing his way to a stunning upset win over second-ranked featherweight contender Miguel Berrios of Puerto Rico. QadiHi, well known. ori the West Coast but unranked nationally, won a split decision in a nationally televised 10-rounder at ancient Mechanics Hall. The. victory, fashioned before a sparse gathering of 362 fans, brought up abruptly Berrios' visions of a shot at featherweight champion Sandy Saddler's crown.

More important to Cadilli, the cleverdy-wrought triumph shot the dark-haired San Franciscan into the maze of contenders all straining for a chance at the 126-pound title. Going into the bout, Berrios had been in line for a fight with tp- ranked contender Cherif Hamia of France. With Saddler's title rec ognition already stripped by the National Boxing Commission, the Berrios-Hamia bout might have been for a vacated crown. However, Cadilli threw that scheduled bout onto the junk pile, at least- as far as luster is con cerned, and demonstrated to home-viewing telesiders just how good a boxer he is. A.

L. Clubs To Play 237 Games At Night In '57 CHICAGO, (UP) A record high of 237 night games will be played, in the American League during the 1937 season, continuing the trend toward more after-dark activity. The Baltimore Orioles, who played 42 night games last season, are the 1957 arclight champions. The Orioles; who enjoyed a fairly successful 1957 season at the gate despite their lowly finish in the A.L. race, will play 47 games after dark in 1957, while the Kan- 'sas City Athletics, who played 44 last year, are down for 43 in 1957 for second place, according to the schedule released today by league headquarters.

The Washington Senators, last year's after dark champions with 45 games, are scheduled for 38 "in 1957. The Indians are down for 31 night one up from last season, while the Chicago White Sox are scheduled for 22, one less than in 1957. The Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox, who have been holding the line for fewer night games have upped their 1957 after dark schedule from 14 each to ,21 and IS, respectively. The New York Yankees, who played 16 last year, are up one for 1957. This, year's total tops 1956's night game schedule by nine, but falls considerably short of the National League's figure of 259.

The Orioles and Senators open the season in Washington on April 15, one day sooner than the others. The season opened on April 17 last year and closed on Sept. 20, The 1957 season closes one day sooner. FULL DRESS BULL FIGHTING WINDSOR, England (UP) A spokesman' for the renowned Grenadier Guards today denied a guards' captain donned his full dress uniform to kill a mad bullock. Capt.

J. R. S. Besley just happened to be wearing full, dress, complete with sword and spurs, at the time, the spokesman said. The bullock was killed by two rifle shots fired by another Seattle U.

Wins 12th Game in By UNITED PRESS 7- Louisville's rivals have discovered how to stop All-America candidate Charley Tyra. but last year's National Invitation Tournament champions keep right on winning just the same, That's because a 6-5 senior named Bill Darragh, known until now chiefly for his 'defensive talents, has taken over the scoring chores where Tyra left off. For the third straight game Darragh out-scored Tyra Wednesday, night, 28-18, and Louisville romped to a 104-67 win over Eastern Kentucky. It was the sixth straight victory for the Cardinals who are ranked No. 6 nationally by the United Press Board of Coaches, and their 10th win in 12 starts.

Louisville foes have been ganging" their defense around the 6-8 Tyra, who has averaged 1 23.5 points per game and is second in rebounding in the nation only to Wilt Chamberlain of Kansas. They haven't stopped Charley, but they've slowed him up at the expense of having Darragh break loose. Seattle, ranked No. 9 nationally, rolled to its 12th straight victory Wednesday night, 76-64, over Portland State. It was the Chieftains' victory in 17 games.

Oklahoma A No. 19 na- streak by downing Oklahoma, 57-43. The Aggies won this one at the free 1 throw line, where they caged 31 of '43. attempts. Soph Gene Adair was the top scorer with 16 points, eight on free throws.

Souchak Favored In Caliente Open AGUA CALIENTE, Mexico, (UP) Mike Souchak, an 8-1 fav orite in the bookie betting, tees off in defense of his title in the $15,000 Caliente Open Golf Tournament today in the last PGA co spon sored tournament to allow wager ing. In this town, where gambling of this type is legalized, the long-hit ting Souchak was rated ahead of such well-known money-winners as Jackie Burke, the PGA and Masters champion; Dow Finster- wald, the second-leading cash coi lector of 1956; Doug Ford, winner of the recent rich Los Angeles Open and the Panama City, Panama, titles; and Jay Hebert, who captured the Bing Crosby 'pro championship. Just about all the big names of the current touring brigade, with the exception of National Open champion Dr. Cary Middlecoff, are on hand to battle for the top prize on the Tijuana Country Club course. Souchak not only is the favorite to win the tournament, but he has been installed as a 10-1 shot to shoot the best score the opening day.

Burke, Hebert and some of the others in the fine field are playing under a mild protest. They are opposed to open gambling on golf tournaments. "There is too much of a chance for a scandal in the game of golf i' i this year for Johnny Longden, who set a new all-time jockey record for total victories or two-time national riding champion Willie Ha" teck. But the signs are that they'll be buried along withXaU the other candidates as Mantle emerges supreme. 'L-m--' Lar sen's no-hiter, the first in A World Series history, was a.

trer mendous performance. And Patterson's win over Archie Moor was impressive but, as they say on the fight beat, who else did he beat? Mantle had mem talk! throughout the entire baseball sea-. son. His efforts had to be the year's best pro performance. And if he doesn't get the Hickok belt the kid from Oklahoma1 "wiix, robbed." BYU Frosh Play Farmers Friday Brigham Young University's freshman basketball team, which has yet to be tested by first class competition, travels to Logan Friday to battle a strong Utah State quintet.

Coach Bob Bunker's tyros, who knocked over Hill Air Force Base 81-25 Tuesday night in the first game of the season, tangle with the Aggie frosh in "a preliminary contest to the featured BYI-USAC varsity game. Two weeks ago Coach Evan Sorensbn's first-year team pressed Utah's touted frosh into overtime action when the two clubs met at Logan: And it appears the visiting Kittens" will not be favored in this first meeting of the two teams this year. In the game with Hill AFB Coach Bunker used every man on the frosh bench. A total of 14 players broke into the scoring column before the final gun. High point man for the evening was Varg Celaya, 6-3 center from Moses Lake, who tallied 11 points.

Close behind Celaya were Jack Sawyer, 6-6 center from Salt Lake City, and Valoy Eaton, 6-2 guard from Vernal. Sawyer and Eaton, who played less than half the game, both pumped in nine counters. The starting five will probably consist of Lynn Gleave (6-4) and Steven Nielsen (6-3) at forward. Sawyer at center, and Valoy Eaton and Jim Rice (5-8) on the guard line. The two teams will meet in Provo Jan.

25 in a second game. Ski Association Names Teachers BRIGHTON (UP) The Inter-mountain Sk Instructions Assn. today announced its selection of eight ski instructors following two days of trials and elimination. Of the eight, Ed Morris and Bill Cook of Alta were awarded full instructor ratings. Associate instructor titles were given to Dearden Jennings, Ogden; John Hofheins, Brighton; Don Greb, Bill Farrell and Miss Mickee Tonkel of Alta and Jack McClare, Twin Falls, Ida.

HOLLYWOOD (UP) Former world's heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey, now a fit 61, stepped into the ring again Wednesday night and with tears in jus eyes shook hands with two of his, biggest one-time rivals, Georges Carpentier of France and Luis Firpo of Argentina. The Manassa Mauler had his colorful career relived before his eyes on Ralph Edwards "This Is Your Life" NBC television program. The show originated from Jack Sly Named President Of Wildlife Group LEIH Jack Sly, sportsman and wildlife leader, has been named president of the Lehi Wildlife Association, succeeding Merlin Bourne, who has headed the organization during the past year.

Color slides were shown of the High Uintahs and of the Elk herd at Hardware Ranch in Blacksmith Fork east of Hyrum. Stokes Stars But Royals Still Lose A record-breaking performance by Maurice Stokes wasn't enough Wednesday night to gain the Rochester Royals a virtual tie for the Western Division lead in the National Basketball Association. Stokes tallied 31 points and set a Rochester Arena record with 33 rebounds, but the Royals bowed in overtime to the St. Louis Hawks, 108-106. A win would have put the Royals within two percentage points of Fort Wayne; the loss left them a game, behind.

Bob Pettit and Chuck Share were the game heroes for St. Louis.

Carpentier, now a restaurant owner in Paris, and Firpo, a cat- tie rancher in Buenos Aires, were two of many program guests who brought back fond memories to the former king of the heavyweights. Provo, as the home of I Jack Dempsey in his boy- I hood days, came in for sev- I eral daring the Ma- I nassa Mauler's appearance on the "This Is Your Life" show Wednesday night. Roy I Stubbs, a Provoan who was one of Dempsey's boyhood I pals and "sparring mates," I was a gii est on the program and and the ex-world champ did considerable I reminiscing over TV about those early years in Utah County. Gene Tunney, conqueror of the Manassa Mauler, is ill in New York and was unable to attend.

However, he sent a telegram to Jack saying he still thought of Dempsey as the champion and "the greatest Roman of them all." The show came as a surprise to Dempsey who had been brought to a nearby NBC studio under the pretense of viewing a closed circuit television show. But when Edwards announced "This is your life, Jack Dempsey," the son of a Mormon school teacher was escorted into the stadium while an audience of 6,000 applauded. Dempsey became champion July 4, 1919, by nailing Jess Willard in three rounds at Toledo, Ohio, before Willard's seconds tossed in the towel. Dempsey lost the crown in 1926 to Gene Tunney. Carpentier, a World War I hero, was stopped in four rounds by Dempsey in a bout that drew boxing's first $1 million gate at Boyles Thirty Acres, Jersey City, in 1921.

Dempsey knocked out Firpo, "Wild Bull of the Pampas," in the second round of a 1923 bout at the Polo Grounds in New York after the Argentine had knocked him through the ropes into the ringside. fi mitsna. ato I JANUARY SERVICE SPECIAL Don't put up with podr entertainment during these long winter evenings when our Service Department, FOR PHEASANT FISHERMAN LA CROSSE, Wis.
