PETERSBURG, Fla., April 4 (U.R) Manager Eddie Dyer of the Si .Louis Cards admitted today that his first-base problem has not been solved and may remain unsettled all season. .. Dyer is trying to choose between be-tween Vern (Nippy) Jones, who held the position last year, and rookie Glenn Nelson, up from Rochester where he hit .303. The Card skipper says he thinks Nelson, Nel-son, a lefthander, is better defensively defen-sively but Jonej, a right-hander, is better hitter.

Hunting and Fishing Program of the Air1 Brought to you INNES.' In Provo Tha Sports Beat By RAY SCHWARTZ Herald Sports Editor Sportsmen of central Utah were still holding their fingers crossed today as far as the Strawberry reservoir is concerned. And tney will no doubt keep them crossed until a new contract governing fishing rights on Strawberry is signed between the Utah fish and game commission and Strawberry waterusers. The Strawberry situation was thoroughly discussed by the fish and game commission in Salt Lake City Saturday and reports indicate that In some ways the outlook is brighter than it has been since the squabble between the waterusers and the commission commis-sion over what constitutes fair contract started. But, until a proposal pro-posal is actually worked out, sportsmen around these parts will continue to hold their collectiye breaths. Just what is causing all the argument over the present con tract, which calls for a payment of 7500 a year by the commission for fishing rights on the reservoir, Is not quite clear. Payment Too High? Some say, the commission feels the payment is too high! Others say that .the commission rejected the contract on the grounds that it was "incompatible with good fish and game management prac tices. Still others contend that all the trouble arises from the fact that the waterusers are unhappy because they feel the commission has. not lived up to the agreement as far as maintaining the Strawberry Straw-berry road is concerned. Whatever the real reasons are, they seemed to be rather clouded cloud-ed at the moment, no doubt could stand a little airing out, so the sportsmen will know what the score is. At the present, things seem to be rather mystifying to most sportsmen. It is easy to see why the sportsmen sports-men of central Utah are concerned concern-ed about Strawberry. It yearly produces some of the best fishing in the state. Sportsmen Fearful Sportsmen are fearful that unless un-less the commission and water-users water-users can reach some sort of an agreement, the fishing rights will be leased to some private concern con-cern or group. This, they feel, will be a bad deal for the average aver-age fisherman. "If Strawberry falls into private pri-vate hands," one Provo sportsman pointed out, "we'll not only have to buy a state fishing license but in all probability will have to pay an additional fee to fish on the lake. "And if that happens to Strawberry, Straw-berry, it probably won't be very long until the same thing happens at Schofield and other places, until it will cost a man $50 to go fishing. The 'average man can't afford to( pay that kind of money, with the result that only a chosen few will be able to take advantage advant-age of some of the best fishing in the state. In other words some of the best lakes in the state will become private ponds." Lots of Talk J. D. Ford, superintendent of the state fish hatchery at Spring-ville, Spring-ville, said the other day he. had heard a lot of talk about the squabble, but that he didn't know too many of the facts involved. Yes, he said in answer to a question, "I know there has been a lot of talk on the matter, both pro and con. However, Strawberry reser voir is a little out of my territory, terri-tory, so I don't know too much about it. As far as anything per taining to fishing on the Strawberry Straw-berry is concerned it is handled through the Midway hatchery." Thus, it appears as if the sportsmen sports-men are going to have to wait a little longer, keep their fingers crossed and hope for the best until un-til the matter is finally threshed out and settled one way or an other.

CONVENIENT MONTHLY PAYMENTS Superintendents ,i Vote Against Ail-Star Contests The Utah high school all-star football game hit a anag today, after the Utah State Society of Superintendents of Schools went on record as opposing the' participation par-ticipation of high school students or graduates of the previous year in all-star games and contests. The superintendents took the action in an executive session in Salt Lake City, upholding reso lutions recommended by the Utah High school Activities association. The UHSAA had met previously with representatives from three Utah colleges and recommended that all-star games be discon tinued. In taking their action, the superintendents stated that all star games "exploit the boys and are not in harmony with good educational principles." At the same time, the superintendents super-intendents adopted resolutions favoring athletic clinics, "organized, "organ-ized, financed and directed by the UHSAA.' The all-star game resolution stated "that the superintendents recommend to their boards of education that they go on record as being opposed to the all-star games and contests in which high school students or graduates of the previous year participate and that such boards of education not permit their employes to take any part in organizing, promoting or directing such all-star games or contests." Courage Holds Sway As A AU Mitt Tournament Opens BOSTON, April 4 (U.R) Race, color and creed forgotten, courage and skill held sway today at the nation's biggest amateur boxing carnival got under way at Boston Garden with a record entry list. From over the sea and across the land they had come grinning brown men from Hawaii, red Injuns In-juns from Oklahoma, city-bred schoolboys, Negroes from the deep south bayous and a socialite "white hope." Now, nearly 190-strong, they were ready to join battle in the three-day national AAU ring roundup which since bare knuckle days 61 years ago has annually determined the amateur champions champ-ions of the world. The world of sports holds few more gruelling tests, three days and nights of resin dust, hot lights and thudding gloves. It may be for this reason that only a single champion returned to defend the crown he won a year ago. Whiffle -Topped Blonde That lad is Eugene Linscott, a whiffle-topped blonde bomber from Grand Rapids, Mich., whose welterweight honors are in danger because he's fighting in a class that's hailed as the toughest and best of this year's show. Perhaps Linscotts crown will be lifted by Maurice Harper of Oakland, Cal., a swift, and shifty negro described as the star of a California delegation of master workmen in the fistic arts. For the first time in years, full teams from Wisconsin, Oklahoma and Seattle, Wash., were listed among the 25 competing AAU di visions. Burly Pete Fuller, socialite son of a former Massachusetts gover nor and a Harvard college student, was the hope of the New England team in the heavyweight ranks. Yet stiff competition was expected expect-ed from Joseph Sanchez of Baltimore, Balti-more, a semi-finalist last year, and Melvin Modesti, a San Francisco butcher boy. Athletic Board Opens Hearing On Boxer's Death SAN JOSE, Cal., April 4 (U.R) The California athletic commission commis-sion today opens a hearing into fhe death of Billy Cornwell, 24-year-old fighter who succumbed of a cerebral hemorrhage last week after a boxing match. The hearing will be conducted by Archie M. Glosson, commis sion chairman. Also attending will be another commission member, Joseph J. Phillips.

Toddy's Sport Parade Gold Digging Gals Of Gojf Out To Glamorize The Game BY OSCAR FRALEY. United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK, April 4 (U.R) The gold digging gals of golf are out today to steal the play away from the men- professionals, and judging judg-ing from the scope of the ladies' plans, the big time boys are going to have to hustle or they won't have a putt to pitch at. -The Women's PGA is out to glamorize the game for the ladies, the ones whose weekday play keeps the nation's golf clubs running. To this end they have signed Fred Corcoran, "the man who "made" the male pros, as their tournament manager. And Freddie the Cork, who raised the men's penny ante tournament tour-nament play to a $500,000 pot of gold, is scheming industriously for a women's tournament series which will change the old script and produce a lot of golf widowers. widow-ers. Plenty of Silverware Style shows, ladies days and plenty of silverware for the local amateurs in a nationwide series of women's tournaments promise to make can opener thumb a marital mari-tal hazard among our hapless husbands. There are only 13 women in the distaff divot digging organization, but it is a select crew which includes in-cludes six former national amateur ama-teur champions Babe Didrikson East All-Stars Cagers Win Over West Team 65-64 SALT LAKE CITY, April 4 (U.R) Utah coach Vadal Petersen, who coached the West team in the East-West all-star game in New York's Madison Square Garden Saturday, said he really had a hard time picking his starting line-up. So he let the boys choose the starters. The West team lost 64 to 65 when coach Adolph Rupp's Kentucky-dominated squad put on a last minute spurt. Petersen return ed here yesterday. Utah's other all-star representative, Vern Gardner, will return tomorrow. Petersen said Gardner had been deluged with professional offers, the best $16,000 for two years.

"Nineteen years ago on the same course, Bobby Jones won the Augusta open with a 72. "The men may be surprised, too, to know that while women don't get the distance the men do, they are more accurate and are better putters," he added. A woman pro shakes her head when she doesn't sink a 25-footer the same putt on which the men pros are just trying to get close." ' Most of the women's tournaments tourna-ments will pe open affairs, which means that the amateurs for miles around will rush to compete, and don't think the local lassies can't give the women pros a battle. Marlene Bauer, 15-year-old west coast star, recently won the Indio, Cal., invitational with a 69-70-70 210. Corcoran, who also manages Ted Williams, Stan Musial and Mrs. Zaharias, will arrange a complete tournament tour along the lines of the men's travelogue. Tentative plans are to start in California in December. Then the girls will swing to Florida for events at Tampa, Coral Gables, Orlando, Everglades City and Durham, N. C. The schedule calls for about. 20 tournaments with a $3,500 minimum. Other regular events are the eastern open at Essex Fells, N. J., May 27-29, and the women's .. national open at Landover, Md., Sept. 21-25. Originator of such matches as the Bing Crosby-Bobe Hope and Ty Cobb vs. Babe Ruth added attractions at-tractions on the men's . circuit, Corcoran, plans to get women movie stars as additional gate attractions. at-tractions. "Betty Grable would draw a lot of women." Corcoran insisted. Men, too, Fred. The can opener in our house would be mighty lonesome!

Jacobs would be ordered by the Garden either to take over active direction, of his organization or sell out. they said. The question, of course, is whether Jacobs can, should or will take over.

This despite persistent stories that his wife has serious objections objec-tions to Mike returning to the old grind again. But it would be wronfe to as sume that Jacobs will give uo without a struggle. He made that clear as reporters pressed him for clues to the future. Will Jacobs sell out?
