Reese, Edwards Plagued by Injuries

Ciudad Trujillo, D. R.—(U.R)— Pee Wee Reese's sore shoulder and Bruce Edwards' infected arm con­tinued to plague the Brooklyn Dodger camp today. Neither has shown improvement.

By LAWTON CARVER International News Sports Editor

New York—<INS)— If the injured Marty Marion is lost for the 1948 baseball season or any appreciable part thereof, you can throw the St. Louis Cardinals out as hot con­tenders for the National League pennant.

It is doubtful that Marion ever was as good as his fondest admir­ers insisted. They always said he could go farther in either direction —right or left—and make plays that even old Honus Wagner would have stumbled over.

But he was just about the best shortstop of these times for 10 years or so and as such one of the key men in the Cards' tr iumphs during his era.

CALLED 'THE OCTOPUS' His knee buckled under him in

an exhibition game yesterday—the same knee which he hur t last sea­son and there now is some question as to how long he will be out.

He ne\}er was a terrific hitter, but as the "Octopus" got his tentacles on everything hit toward his side of the infield and there is likely to be no replacement around for him. The ball players themselves named him The Octo­pus.

Marion is a tall lanky nervous sort of guy who picks up pebbles while waiting for his pitcher to throw to the hitter, and he stamps around here and there hitching up his pants and going through all manner of motions.

GENERALLY IN FRONT Then when the hitter hits the

ball—if it is somewhere between second and third Marion generally has been in front of it.

Marion has been so good as a fielder that veteran baseball men —some of the smartest of them— have always insisted that he could do things Wagner couldn't do. Wagner was supposed to have been the best.

Of course, Wagner had an edge at bat. The so-called Flying Dutch­man was among the greatest of hit ters. Marion was ordinary at bat, although a fair sort of clutch hitter.

The two men are or were total­ly unlike. Wagner was a lumber­ing fellow with big bowed legs and deceptive speed. He has great hands like shovels.

STRINGBEAN TYPE Marion is a stringbean, a loose-

jointed slight fellow with an un­canny knack of being where the ball would be hit, a good arm, and a sureness that was amazing.

Perhaps if he had been a really great hitter everybody would have agreed that he was better than even Wagner, supposedly the all-time peer of all shortstops by virtue of the things he did in the old days for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Bulldogs Are 'First' On Diamond

Binghamton Central 's baseball squad today took first in one Southern Tier Conference depart­ment.

Central 's candidates reported to "Whitey" Anderson and his staff for an hour's drill at Recrea­tion Park yesterday. The Bulldogs were the first in the conference to start their diamond practice.

A total of 28 reported, includ­ing 18 with no previous scholastic experience.

Another workout is scheduled at 10:30 a. m. today at the Park.

Five of last year's varsity nine worked out yesterday. They were Ken Crerer and Jack Bartlett, pitchers; Fred Eydt, catcher: Harry Brown and Bill Lane, in-fielders. ;

Bob Kniffen and Johnny Yuhas, other 1947 varsity members, are expected to start work next week.

Seven of last year's jayvee squad also were on hand.

The 1947 jayvees included Jerry Christoff, Alex Serbonich and Frank Horkott, pitchers; Walt Rowley, outfielder; Eugene Bell and Ed Moshier, infielders; and Joe Craciale, catcher.

Vestal Baseball Starts Monday

Vestal Central School'* baseball candidates will assemble Monday, according to Coach Sid Stock.

Break Mleeord on Thames Course

Cambridge Oarsmen Beat, Oxford in Historic Race

London—(U.R)—The light blue oarsmen of Cambridge University won an historic 50th victory today, defeating Oxford by about six lengths in the 94th renewal of the world's oldest rowing event.

The victory was achieved in record breaking time of 17 minutes and 50 seconds, topping by 13 sec­onds the fastest run ever made over the four-mile 400-yard Thames River course.

Approximately 1,000,000 persons, in gala holiday mood and attire, lined the banks of the famed river to watch the shells slide silently over the S-shaped course.

Cambridge's seasoned oarsmen surprised the multitude at the out­set when they won the toss and chose to row the Middlesex or north side of the stream.

In the past the winner of the toss invariably rowed the Surrey or south side because it gives them the inside position on the big bend of the Thames.

However, the Cambridge crcjv mile mark.

decided today that prevailing wind conditions would adversely affect the crew on the Surrey side for the first mile.

The reasoning was correct for it was in that stretch that the light blues took a half-length lead, never to be overtaken.

Cambridge broke the previous record which had stood at 18 min­utes and three seconds since it was established in 1934, also by Cam­bridge.

At the two-mile mark Cambridge had increased its advantage to a length and a half and the crowd began to sense that it was all over, for the dark blue boys of Oxford showed obvious signs of weariness. At three miles Cambridge was three lengths in front and held a full five-lengths lead at the four
