BLYTHEVILLE (ARK.) COURIER NEWS PAGE SEVEN Between You'n Me Jacobs Case Points Up By MURRAY What better indictment do you need of the chain systems' suppression of ballplayers than Spooks Jacobs' second base success with the Athletics after seven years of burial by Brooklyn? Lending more credence to Paul Richards' motion for an unrestricted Rookie Rudy Regalado a long term contract coming up with pretty Marcia Mlttendorf, once President Eisenhower's campaign headqtiarter's secretary and the daughter of Los Angeles radio producer When he was a Cleveland bench- warming bonus boy, Robert Avila warded off siestas In the dugout by learning to chew tobacco but discarded the chaw when he made the starting lineup The American League hit leader was a pro soccer player at 14 would the Tribe be without the Spanish speaking delegation of Avila, Eduardo (Mike) Garcia, Rudolfo Regalado, not to mention skipper Alfonso Lopez? The basic humility of Rocky Marciano is no better revealed than in this question he popped to us in a. tramp over the mountains at his Grossinger, N. Y-, training camp: "Murray, you've me fight a lot. Tell me, what's my weakness?" We asked Bob Godlen, one of the champ's sparring partners, if he'd times," he answered, '1 hit him in the body, and I could hear him grunt, It felt real good, but while I'm standing there enjoying it, he's hitting me back" Golden, an Akron boy, now fights out of Denver because his service discharge coincided with that city's hook-up to the co-axial cable, and his manager wanted him on the picture tubes Viva TV Marciano would have been given the Ed Murrow Person-to-person treatment months ago if manager Al Weill hadn't balked at the price. and only yielded recently because Rocky's been told he needs to project more before the general public.

Rocky, meeting Hank Bauer of the Yanks, whispered aside, "He looks more like a fighter than me." he was a promising street brawler "with a club in my right hand" Bauer hasn't had a recurrence of malaria, which felled him 23 times since 1946 He calls Baltimore Bob Turley, another East St. Louis ever stung Rocky "Couple of' product, the fastest pitcher in his experience and used to play on the same sandlot team with Bob's uncle, Gene. Johnny is supposed to have more mound poise than any young pitcher of the last decade but speaking before an audience of more than three terrifies him Have the three New York clubs ever had a better set of center fielders than Duke Snider, Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle and not one of them at his peak yet? You can't beat Johnny Sain's twisting motion, a la Freddie Fitzsimmons, for holding a runner close to second base Bucky Harris' insistence a year ago that Jim Busby 'change' to on open hitting stride made a big league hitter of the fleet Texan Dugout pundits rate Mike Garcia the easiest pitcher to get a good jump on Between you'n'me, there's no excuse for the league president or the commissioner's office not ordering a compelte replay of the Brooklyn- Milwaukee farce. SIMPLY A-MAYS-ING MSNOMEe TO C4U MAY'S 4 8ALLPL AYEK GVBATtONG LOOK LIKE jAY'HfYKiD THE HM4S WHO THOUGHT WILLIS WOULD BECOME 4UCH A Tee Talk- Just Average Golfer? Then Ease Up on That Swing, Man By JIMMY DEMARET CONCORD INTERNATIONAL, N. Y.

(NEA) "What," I'm always asked, "is the main fault of the average week-end golfer?" You get a lot of answers to that one, but there always have been two big ones. The first is trying to kill the ball. The fellow who gets out there on a day off from the job feels good. He looks around at the pretty grass and trees, takes a couple of deep breaths of that fresh air, then looks down at the little white ball. "Man" he says to himself, "am I gonna kill this today." He proceeds to swing from just about every direction on the com- exactly nowhere, bit before starting pass and gets Wait a ilttle the swing.

Don't get anxious and begin trying to hit the ball when you're way back there at the top of your swing. Let that clubhead come down into the hitting area, then start putting on the power. The other big fault I find is temper. A guy is supposed to be out for some fun, but starts pulling a Tommy Bolt somewhere along the line. Busting up his clubs and the like.

This isn't to 'say Bolt, the Houston tournament veteran, has anything wrong in his disposition. I've found him to be an even-tempered guy- Mad all the time. If you're just a fellow out for some fun, take it easy. Don't get upset when you watch your ball disappear into the trees- At the same time, don't get lackadaisical. Try your honest best There's nothing like winning, even if you're in a friendly foursome.

But you can relax and have some fun at the same time. LITTLE LEAGUE Goathittetl from Page 6 fanned for the second out as the tension eased.

Wells hit to Ron Huey, whose unexpected throw to third not only was tardy but caught Hodge off base and all hands were safe.

Wayne Lovelace came through with the big blow that drove in Craig with the tying run. Wells was trapped trying for the extra base and was out at third to throttle the rally. Dorris nailed down the certain tie and set the stage for a possible run in the Legion half of the sixth by Lovelace, 2to fanning two of the last three Rote' batters. The Legions made a desperate last minute ditch to pull the game out of the fire but Smith had enough left to choke it off. With two outs Huey tossed Rounsavall's grounder low to first and the peppery little catcher ambled to second.

Taking no chances on Dorris breaking up the game. Coach Ed Cure ordered the pitcher passed again.

It's 80 yards downhill, sort of an automatic jump to the green George S. May, who promotes the World Championship at Chicago's Tarn O'Shanter, has OK'd tnat shoj-tg or men this year. That is right down my alley. Why hasnt' Julius Boros been on top of the heap of late? I say its' because the Mose has a real loose swing and must come up with perfect timing to be hot- He's won only three tournaments, you man, what ones to win! Merely the United States Open, the World Championship and the cash-crammed, Ardmore event. They had a little discussion at Harvard about John Brophy's eligibility for the New England Intercollegiate Golf Championships.

They ruled the Crimson swinger out because he plans to be an assistant pro at Bellevue, outside 'of Boston, this summer. That's something a lot of college golfers should know: You're ineligible for intercollegiate events if you take anyj action which indicates you're turning pro- Speaking of young golfers, I rate Billy Maxwell, now in the Army; Wes Ellis, Buck Luce's assistant at GRreenwood in New Jersey; and Gene Littler and Gardner Dickinson, as the most promising.

By JIMMY BRESLIN NEA Staff Correspondent When a fellow like Emmett Mullholland passes from the Little League scene, it is a you are in Montreal, where he died at 31, or Atlanta. Mullholland was the kind of guy who has helped make Little Lengue what it is today. The Montreal school teacher and recreation director died as a result of an auto crash and with him little part of sports in the Canadian city passed, too.

Most remember Mullholland for the Job he did with his Montreal All-Stars, which lost, out in the Little League World Series in WIN Hamsport. in 1952. They came back to just miss out on what was figured to be a 2800-1 they lost last year's Region I final to Schenecto'dy, 2-1. Little League followers remember the way Mullholland's French- speaking club, the smallest in all- round size to appear in Williamsport, ran the bases with a frenzy and all but stole the championship. The Montreal club did not have quite enough power to RO all the way, but made up for shortcomings with all-over kind only a well-drilled outfit shows.

There was a little more to it than Just coaching. Mullholland last year accepted a teaching job at a rural spot 300 miles north of was on hand for practice twice a week with his team. He casually drove 1200 miles a week to coach a Little League team. TRADE TALK: The ways and moans of stopping the double steal always have baffled Little Lenguers, 50 let's take a look at the defense's Job against this maneuver. If a double steal shapes a runner on flrsL base breaks for second nnd a runner on third appears ready to go for the plate on the second sacker should run in to a spot half way between the mound and second base.

If the catcher throws to get the man trying to steal from first, the second baseman should watch both the ball and the runner 'on third. If the runner on third breaks as the catcher throws, the second baseman should cut off the peg and whip it back to the plate. As a rule, he'll catch the runner at the plate. But if the runner on third stays put, the second baseman should let the throw KO through. The shortstop, of course, covers second.

That's what to do if a left-hand batter is up. It's just the other way around, of course, with a right- hand hitter at the plate. SMALL TALK: Gov. Frank Lausche, host of members of Portsmouth, Little Leaguers, was honored with a league membership. He had some professional ball experience before entering politics.
