McLane flashes To New Svim Mark DAYTONA B.EACH, F 1 a April 2 (U.R) Twenty-year-old Jim McLane of Yale stroked his way to a new record of 4:41.5 Saturday in the 440-free style event in the national AAU swimming and diving cham pionships. A poor fourth was badly over trained Bill Smith, the Hawaiin Ohio State students who had set the last four records in the event. Smith, one-time wonder boy of the water, had estab lished records in the 440 free in 1943. 1944, 1947 and 1948. McLane, representing the New Haven Swimming club, smashed smash-ed the latest 4:42.1.

Jacobs of Madison Square Garden, and that set off a flood of reports that Jacobs may be forced into selling out the organization which once controlled every major boxing championship. Loses Qround The 20th Century has been losing los-ing ground in its fight with rival promotional organizations. The garden interests, with which Jacobs Ja-cobs has an exclusive contract, have been concerned. Jacobs said he did not know why Kilpatrick summoned him to New York. Jacobs was asked about reports that he "was selling out to Joe Louis for $150,000. "No chance," he said. "In the first place, no one has asked to buy. In the second place, $150,000 is not enough." "What about $250,000?" a reported re-ported asked. Before Jacobs could answer that, his attorney, Sol Strauss, said, "I wish to remind you gentlemen gen-tlemen that nothing can be sold without the consent of Madison Square Garden." May Come Back Asked about a report that the Garden would demand that he either sell out or return from retirement, re-tirement, Jacobs said: "In that case, Jf they insist, I'll have to come out of retirement.

KEN HOUSTON Manaxer 4, ft Fleet -Richie Ashburn, prize rookie as Braves' Phil Masi moves to field donned a pair of Phillies' pants due Pirates Gan ' Win Pennant, Meyer Says By LEO H. PETERSEN United Press jports Editor NEW YORK, April 2 (U.R The Pittsburgh Pirates surprised the baseball world last year when they finished fourth, only eight and a half games behind the National league pennant winning Boston Braves, ' And their sophomore manager, Billy Meyer, maintains that his 1949 club has been improved Z3 per cent." "We could win it in 1949, Meyer said during the winter, "if we can come up with another starting pitcher." The next day the Pirates pur chased Murray Dickson from the Cardinals. Thinks Pirates Have It So all added up, it means that Billy thinks he has what it takes. Not too many baseball men will agree with him, for they doubt whether he can get any more mileage out of his collection of old timers and youngsters this year than he did last. After all there has been' an other year of wear and tear on such veterans as Rip Sewell, Dixie Walker, Johnny Hopp'and the other old timers. The Pirates, per man, areby far the oldest team in the league, and In the dog days of August players getting get-ting along in years often drop off sharply. But if they can hold their pace another year, true Pirates could well measure up to Meyer's estimation of them. His club is pretty well set with Dickson, Bob Chesnes, Vic Lombard!, Lom-bard!, Elmer Riddle and either Cliff Chambers or Rookie Bill Werle as his starting pitchers. That leaves Sewell and Ernie Bonham for spot work and Kirby Higbe, Hugh Casey and either Bob Muncrief or Rookie (Jhet Johnson for relief. Two Spots Open Two spots in- the infield are open with Les Fleming and Eddie Stevens, who held down the post last year, battling for the first base job. Two other players, Pete Castiglione, the better hitter, and Eddie Bockman, a more polished fielder, are fighting on even terms for the third base post left vacant when Frank Gustine was traded to the Cubs, Stan Rojek. a star in the making, and Danny Murtaugh are set at short and second respectively. In the outfield, home run hit ting Ralph Kiner will, be in left with Wally Westlake in right. Right now it looks like Walt Judnich, obtained from the In dians, will start in center, leaving leav-ing Walker and Hopp as the handy men and pitch hitters. A rookie, Ted Beard, who hit .301 with Indianapolis last year, also is in the running. Ben Hogan Returns To His Home FORT WORTH, Tex., April (U.R) Ben Hogan, golfdom's mighty mite, was back home to day, amidst reams of good wishes from his- friends and followers, to finish recuperating from injuries suttered in a near-fatal automo bile accident two months ago. "It's great to be home again," murmured Bantam Ben as he surveyed the room-full of flowers flow-ers and the sheaves of telegrams, cards and letters that awaited him yesterday when he returned from a 59-day stay at Hotel Dieu hospital hos-pital at El Paso.

Holds Hurlers In Check ST. PETERSBURG, Fla April 2 (U.R) Manager Eddie Dyer of the St. Louis Cardinals said Saturday Sat-urday tllat none of his Redbird hurlers will pitch a full nine innings in-nings this spring, pointing to the case of Murry Dickson in 1948, who since has been sold to Pittsburgh. Pitts-burgh. "Dickson went nine innings down here several times last year and had that no-hitter against the Yankees," Dyer said. "He had hie worst season in the majors. On the other hand, Harry Brechen never went more than seven innings down south He went on to his best year." TAMPA, Fla, April 2 0J.EV The Cincinnati Reds took advantage ad-vantage of poor Boston pitching pitch-ing Saturday to defeat the Braves 8 to 6. Cincinnati hit young Johnny Antonelli freely in the first four innings to pile up a 4 to 1 lead. Howard Fox started for Cincinnati Cincin-nati and was helped considerably consider-ably by four Red double plays during the first five innings. Half of Cincinnati's 12 hits were doubles and Ted Kluazew-ski Kluazew-ski added a triple to the attack. Defeats Tigers LAKELAND, Fla., April 2 (U.R) The New York Yankees handed hand-ed the Detrbit Tigers their fifth shut out of the Grapefruit league season Saturday behind a seven-hit pitching performance by Tommy Byrne, 3 to 0. Byrne became the first Yankee hurler to go the distance and was never in serious trouble. Lou Kretlow, rookie right hander, started for the Tigers and was charged with the defeat. de-feat. He gave up four hits and a single run in the seven frames he worked.

LEE CRAFT BOATS and MERCURY MOTORS! Truly a Great See Them and Try Them PROVO BOAT HARBOR AT UTAH LAKE EVERY SUNDAY OR COME IN THE STORE AND ASK FOR A DEMONSTRATION ANYTIME IN PROVO Determination . , hustle . team, spirit Those are going to be the strongest points of the Brigham Young university baseball base-ball squad this spring. At least that's the way Coach Wayne Soffe sees after a ' week or outdoor practices. -It you'll remember," he pointed point-ed out, "last year's team had a lot of determination and fight." "And those were probably two of the main factors for the 1948 team's success. There were times last spring when it appeared as if the cause was lost as far as we were concerned, but those kids just hung in there and kept pitchin and refused to quit. This kind of attitude paid off with victories. 'tThat was especially true in the Utah State and Utah games played play-ed at'Timp park.. You probably remember how both the Aggies and Utah 'gained big early leads, and, many of the fans started to leave the ball park. But in each instance, our boys put on brilliant rallies to overcome these margins and earry on to victory. Veterans Back "As you know, tyre have mosj of last year's team back, so if they maintain that same spirit again this year and they have shown in practice to date that they will we may have another pretty good season. Anything can hap pen in a ball game and the boys have indicated" in practice that that's the way, they re going to play it." Not only does this spring's BYU baseball team have the spirit, but it also is heavily laden with talent. It has strength in pitching, pitch-ing, catching, in the outfiejd and in the infield. Georg-e "Lefty Sorenson, a lion-hearted hurler, is expected ex-pected to be the bell-wether of the pitching staff again this year, fust as he was in 1948. Although not. too large as pitchers go, he 'has great stamina. In addition to eour-- eour-- age and ability, and has shown that he Is somewhat of the workhorse type. Shows Good Control "Sorenson has shown excellent control in practice this week,' Soffe said. "This is especially encouraging for so early in the season. He is a great competitor . . . confident but not cocky . ; and has a lot of courage. In ad' dition he is imbued with a great love for the game. His father ap pa rent lv has been partly respon sible for developing this great love for the game. "My father," he told me after practice the other night, "used to alwavs tell me that if I ever pitched before my arm was ready and hurt it, he would fix me, but good!" Although Sorenson probably will be the mainstSy of the pitch ing staff, Soffe has several other likely looking prospects such as Garth 'Bergeson, Cal Crump, Jay Peterson, Glen Clark and Nelson Spafford. Needs Lots Of Work "Bergeson," Soffe said, "has all the physical requirements for a good pitcher. He's big and strong and has good pitching action. Yes, I think he'll help us a lot this season. "However, he needs a lot ol work. At the present time, he is having trouble with his control. But he probably will snap out of this difficulty with a little work. "CrumD has been dividing his time between first base and the mound in practice this week. He played for Bingham in the Salt Lake Amateur league last year and seems to have a lot of stuff ' "But you can't 'tell too much about the pitchers until they've had an opportunity to bear down and cut loose. And with the weather the way it has been this week, the pitchers pitch-ers haven't had much ehanee to bear down yet.' Radiators Repaired Auto Glaas Installed Specialized Work AHLANDER'S 49t So. Univ. A venae Combination 99 Best Catching Prospect Lynn Powell looks like the best bet for the catching position at the moment, while Garth Kump, Kenny Leth, Arden Alpanalp, Chuck Craven, Merrill Hardy, Don Bushore, and Paul Jones, all infielders, and Ted Thiel, Lyle Koller and Dave Weiser, outfielders, out-fielders, have all looked good in early practice sessions. "This Weiser kid seems to be a great student of the same." Soffe pointed out. "He is the alert anftj 'Heady' sort of player and a fine infielder." "Koller has a lot of snlrit and is the type of boy you like to have up there at the plate. He reminds me a lot of 'King Kong' iveneroi tne New York Yankees. He is Wit quite a bit like him Saw Keller Play "I saw Keller play one and the thing that impressed me most about him was the way he stood up at the plate, stuck out his chin and turned his head towards the pitcher as if to say: 'All right, now Just try to throw that ball past me if you dre "Koller seems to have that same kind of mental attitude up there at the plate, and you. can see what kind of psychological effect that must have on the op posing pitcher. "Koller told me he had lost four pounds in the first week - of practice. He had put on a little excess weight during the winter, so the loss of weight probably will be of eonsiderablebenef it to him." Will Stick With Veterans Naturally, Soffe hasn't picked a starting lineup as yet, but he indicated Saturday, that he would stick' with the boys who won the Western division title last year, at least for the time being. "I told the boys when we first started practice that I planned lb stick pretty much with last year's team," he- said. "After all, it is usually a pretty good idea to stick with a winner ... or so they say."
