BALTIMORE, Md., April 16 (U.R) Feelincr a lot more rhinnr !than he did when he got out of the hospital, jolting Joe DiMag gio frankly was looking forward Saturday to his return to base ball. However, the Yankee Clipper with the clipped heel was willing to concede that his return may not come this year. "I have no idea of retiring from baseball," said DiMaggio Friday in his hotei room. "These things (the calcium deposits doctors found near his heel bone) have been cured before. It's just a question of time." The famous slugger has to stay here at least until Tuesday, paying pay-ing daily visits to Johns Hopkins hospital. He said hef' didn't know what Dr. George Bennett would tell him to do then, but he added there was little likelihood of another an-other operation like the one Dr. Bennett performed last winter to remove a bone spur from the right heel. Could Get In Shape The 34-year-old outfielder insisted in-sisted that he could "get back into in-to shape in four or five days if my heel was well." DiMag wasn't using his crutches crutch-es as he moved about the hotel room, but he showed reporters a sort-of "built in crutch" in his right shoe. A block of wood had been fastened under the arch in J order to take the pressure off the jheel. Dr. Bennett told him to stay off the heel as much as possible. j Present Treatments - As for his present treatments, i DiMag said he merely lies, on a table while "they shoot an x-ray at me for a minute-and-three- quarters at a time." DiMaggio frankly considered the possibility that he won't get back into uniform this year, a possibility that has lessened the Yankees chances of winning the American league pennant. "Even if 1 couldn't get back to the Yankees this year, I feel Ij could come back after a year's! rest," he said. "I have lenty of: hitting ability left as long as my foot holds out." He was asked whether he wanted to get a managerial job if he can't play again, but he indicated in-dicated the question was premature. pre-mature.

Lavelli Gives 'Cold Shoulder' To Pro Offers NEW HAVEN, Conn.. April 16 (U.R) Tony Lavelli picked popular popu-lar musjc over pop shots Satur day, much to the disappointment of two professional basketball teams. The handsome hook-shot artist from Yale, who led all collegiate cage scorers during the past season, said he would rather compose music and play it on his accordion than play basketball after he graduates in June. In so doing, he turned down a reported offer of $14000 from the Syracuse club of tfie National basketball league and another rich offer from the Boston Celtics of the Basketball Association of America. A Yale spokesman said he. was encouraged to stick to music by the recent sale of three popular tunes. Throughout his collegiate aa-reer, aa-reer, the lanky sharpshooter from Somerville, Mass., racked up a total of 1,964 points an "all-time" "all-time" record.

Today's Sport Parade Cock Fighting Advocates Pit Their Best Chickens In 'Battle To The Death' By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer LITTLE GRAY BARN IN THE WOODS, April i61U,K It may be anywhere along the Atlantic seaboard, sea-board, or the Pacific, fojs that matter, when the cock fighting advocates steal furtively to some secluded spot to pit their chickens. chick-ens. in a battle to the death. Usually, you drive down a park lane in the country and come to a group of automobiles' parked around a darkened barn. Fm within comes a low rumble and the occasional crow of a rampant rooster. It might cost you $3, or $5. to get inside as the guest of a "game club", member. There are no women, wo-men, and no whisky for the slogan slo-gan is: "Leave your ladies and liquor, tit home." There's a reas on. This isn't a sigTit for a woman or even, perhaps, for a man. Atmosphere Is Tense Inside the barn there is a tense, tight atmosphere. A hundred hun-dred men sit in bleacher seats erecte.d around a dirt-floored pit with their eyes fastened on two cocks squaring off in the middle. The bird's natural spurs have been slipped off. Fastened carefully care-fully in their place are steel spurs,..an inch and a quarter long. with Vhich these fowl, bread for death, slash attach other after springing into tlve air. As they are faced off, like prize fighters, by their seconds, words leap across the blood-spotted arena: "Two hundred on the red."... or "fifty on the gray.". . . .or .even 9 lpwly "dollar on the blue." There are no bookmakers. It is b "gentleman's" wager. Bets are paid off meticulously at the end, the loser hunting up the winner or throwing tightly wadded packets pack-ets of bills across the small dirt patch of death. Blue-Gray Exhalations The blue-gray exhalations of frenzied smokers mingle with the air-born, steel-scattered feathers as the birds hack, slash and peck at each other.. If the cocks refus& to fight they are placed breast to breast and the inbred instincts of thousands of years send them tearing into each other.

"mm Area's, Top Tpips and the Stance i ally one "quits" and a harried owner wastes no time heading for the chopping block in the corner of the barn with its waiting blood-stained axe. They seldom quit. With a broken brok-en wing or a broken leg or both eyes gone, or all three, instinctively instinct-ively they fight on. Or thev lay where, unable to move, until the s.park fans into feeble , life and they try once again, bleeding and crippled but unconquered. When the fight goes on too long and. the ferocity is gone from both chickens, they are shifted to the lesser patronized "drag PVt" until the weary business is corKj eluded while two fresh battlers appropriate the main pit. Worthless After Winning Many of the victors are worthless worth-less after winning. But the owners own-ers are fiercely proud. "Sell him for breeding?" an owner will snort. "I'd kill all my chickens before I'd sell one." For most of them are individual, individ-ual, breeds, with more than 150 cross-strains to be tried, and each owner has his carefully-guarded favorite. But one thing you know, as you leave the secluded barn' in the earVy hours of the morning. There's a reason why they call them "gamecocks." and you know, too, why their owners are so much like prize fight handlers. All of them are certain that "they can't hurt us!"
