TOMMY HOLMES GRID GAME CAN PAY OFF Vero Beach Will See Strong Dodger Squad Branca Spurns $1,500 Pay Raise In Dodger Pact Vetoes Rickey's $14,000 Offer Brown, Campanella, Mikis Sign By HAROLD C. BURR The Flock has a new black sheep. Briefly, the Dodgers run up against their first 1949 holdout and it isn't Carl Furillo, 1948's troublemaker. Seven Brooklyn players are safely i 5, ft I '3 -i 1 ln A Tvfxt- vv "Li a urrrr' 'within the fold. But Ralph Branca, spurning a $1,500 pay hike ONE OUT, ONE IN Ralph Branca, left, has returned his Dodger contract unsigned, spurning a $1,500 pay boost over his $12,500 stipend in 1948.

Tommy Brown, right, affixed his signature to his pact without a murmur. 1 DeMarco Scores After Ring Layoff By JOE LEE Three months of inactivity made Paddy De Marco a charging tiger. The Brooklyn Bombshell of the Navy Yard section was a bundle of energy as he tore into Humberto Sierra to win a 10-round unanimous decision the feature 10-round last night. AT EBBETS So Says Rosentover, Hoping to Convince Landlord Rickey By BEX (iOI'LD Believe it or not, we've discovered a man who is reason- ably certain that professional football can be transformed into a profitable business at Ebbets Field! Totally undismayed by the fact that Messrs. Rickey, Topping, and others have lost a nice hunk of change in the grid graveyard hard by Sullivan Place and Bedford Joe Rosentover today told the Brooklyn Eagle that he possesses the "secret of success." The husky president of the American Football League, confirming the recent story in these pages that the AFL was seeking a boro team in its setup, asserted confidently that "Brooklyn can make money in the professional football game by scaling seats from 50 cents to $2.

"If Mr. Rickey is willing to become a landlord, I am ready to prove that by charging 50 cents for bleacher seats, $1 for reserved seats and $2 for box seats, both he and whatever new financial backers we may have in this area can finish in the black." Recalls Kagles Rosentover recalled the days when the Brooklyn Eagles were part and parcel of the loop and performed at Ebbets Field. "Harold Lipman made money with this scale of prices and with a limited roster as well as salary limitations such as we have at the present time it can be done again." At the present time the American League is composed of six clubs. They are Pater-son, defending champion; Rich mond, Bethlehem, Wilkes-Barre, Jersey City, and Wilmington, Del. Rosentover readily admitted the cir cuit lost about $55,000 last season but added, "That was noth ing to the 19-17 deficit when we dropped exactly $300,000." Paterson and Bethlehem were the only '48 clubs to finish out of the red, Rosentover further reported.

At the same time he pointed out that Richmond's financial returns were 150 percent larger than the previous season and that Wilkes-Barre likewise had registered a gain. Anxious to Expand Rosentover is extremely anxious to expand the circuit. Besides Brooklyn, he hopes to add Boston or Hartford to the fold and he has received ample assurance from both All America Conference and National League owners that players will be turned over to the circuit in wholesale numbers Involving working agreements on the, same pattern as the major leagues in baseball. "Brooklyn is a great baseball town," Rosentover asserted. "Give the people a good football team and a good game to boost that sport and, with the help of popular prices, it can be built up just like the Dodgers were.

And I'm ready to convince Mr. Rickey, too," the president concluded.

That is not precisely true although Mike McCormick, the outfielder from Angel's Camp, Cal is the only player the Mahatma of Montague St.

has obtained in a deal since the World Series. McCormick comes Irom the Braves in the swap for Pete Reiser and, judging by the circumstances of the trade, his acquisition was less important than the disposal of the Pistol person with all those aches and pains. But I have no doubt that the Brooklyn training camp a month from now will present the same picture of studied confusion that Dodger Spring maneuvers did last Spring and the Spring before. The locale is different, that's all. It will have been shifted to a vast level tract a few miles outside of Vero Beach, where not only the Dodgers but the Montreal and St.

Paul squads will train, not to mention assorted individuals from Hollywood, Fort Worth, Mobile and other way stations in the far-flung Brooklyn baseball chain. P'or w-eks it will be impossible to tell how the pattern of the 1949 Dodgers will develop. Only Rickey will have the key and Rickey, on this point, is inscrutable. But there will be so many young ball players providing action from morning 'til night on three or four Vero Beach diamonds that it would be almost sheer impossibility for Skipper Burt Shotton not to open the season with an improved ball club. WHAT'S WANTED The help the skipper seeks is specific and relatively simple.

The early line on the Dodgers shows first base and third base unsettled. Shotton would like more outfield punch. No club ever gets too much good pitching. A year ago, Rickey said, "The nicest thing that can be said for the Brooklyn pitching staff is that perfection is completely ahead of it." That's still true, but progress has been made. There was visible general improvement last year, could be more this coming season.

A strong crop of rookie pitchers might easily round out the "deepest" staff in the There is Morris Martin, a six-foot lefthander up from St. Paul. He has a fine curve ball, is rated a top drawer prospect by the Brooklyn scouting department if his control continues to improve. The star of the St. Paul staff last year wis Ezra McGlothin, commonly called Pat.

He's a six-foot-three righthander who had a 14 7 record during the season, won three playoff games and flipped a five-hit shutout against Montreal in the Little World Series. MORE ROOKIES Bob Austin is a right-handed Okla-homan up after a 17 7 record at Fort Worth. He would have joined the Dodgers last Summer had he not come up with a lame arm at a most inopportune moment. Clarence Podbielan, a big righthander from Montreal, won four postseason games after a 13 8 performance. Elmer Soxauer has more stuff, less experience than the others.

He is a 23-year-old righthander out of St. Louis with a fast bail that really sings. A bonus pitcher signed out of the Wichita semi-pro tournament last year, he is almost certain to stick because of the existing rules. Ok course, it remains to be seen whether he has learned his early lessons well enough to do the Dodgers any immediate good. Top rookie infieldc-rs are Bob Morgan from Montreal and Clarence Hicks from St.

Paul. Each was the best shortstop in his league last season. Morgan hit only .258, but had unusual power. Hicks batted close to .300. Since Capt.

Peewee Reese, the solid man of the Dodger infield, plays Fhortstop, Morgan and Hicks probably will form part of the mob scene competing for the third base assignment. ANOTHER TRIAL Coming back after one or more previous trials with the Dodgers are Cal Abrams, Preston Ward, Johnny Jorgensen, Jack Banta, Bob Ramazzotti, Ed Chandler, Willard Ramsdell, Phil Haugstad and Johnny Van Cuyk. Most of them had good seasons in the minors. Abrams, a Rrooklyn-bred, left-hand hitting outfielder, batted .337 at Mobile. Ward, who opened last season at Ebbets Field, hit only .275 as Mobile's first baseman.

But he will ne carefully watched. He has power and he is barely 21. Banta wts the International League strikeout king. In the case of just about every other club in the majors, this would just about sum up the rookie situation. The Dodgers are mfferent.

There will be fellows at Vero Beach who belong to Montreal or St. Paul or some other Dodger proving ground, fellows who are just as likely to reach Ebbets Field this year as the rookies on the regular list. ADDED STARTERS Remember the names of Don Newcombe, the right-handed Negro pitcher of the Royals, and Sam Jethroe, colored Montreal center fielder; Dee Fondy, Fort Worth first baseman; Toby Atwell, St. Paul catcher; Frank Laga, an underhand pitcher with Montreal; Kevin Connors, power-hitting Montreal first baseman; George Brown, Worth pitcher; Walter Olsen and Omar Lown. Montreal righthanders; Irv Noren and George Schmees, both left-handed-hitting outfielders with Fort Worth.

It is the rule rather than the exception in a Dodger camp for one or two players each Spring who have worn Montreal or St Paul livery throughout the training period to open up the campaign at Ebbets Field. Carl Furillo, Jackie Robinsr.n, Johnny Jorgensen, Dick Whitman, Roy Campanella ind others burst upon the big league scene like that. That will be a strong squad at Vero Beach next month, make no mistake about that. Probably there will be at least 2i) young men who "might" make the Brooklyn team. Obviously, most of then will fail because there will be only half a dozen or so' spots open on the roster.

Generally speaking, it's a sign that Rickey's farm system in Brooklyn is coming of age. bout at the Manhattan Center Paddy was rough and ready, and the Cuban Invader, left the ring with a swollen left eye and a scalp wound on the left side of his forehead as the result of a head-on collission in the ninth round. Paddy said after the fight: "This fellow was supposed to have a lot of speed and I kept moving, in on him so he coludn't get away from me. He fought in flurries, but most of his blows were light and 1 stopped his attacks every time he started with both hands to the body" DeMarco was penalized in the sixth round for unnecessary roughness. DeMarco said he opened Sierra's scalp with a right-hand punch, but from this corner it appeared as though heads col lided when the Cuban was forced out of the ripes in the 9th round.

It was not a butt by DeMarco, for Sierra is the taller of the two. Most of the time Sierra wa3 holding his chin high when they were at close range, but it certainly looked like DeMarco was trying to bore a hole in his chest with his head as he forced his foe into the ropes repeatedly. Stays His Sierra, conqueror of Sandy Saddler, just couldn't cope with DeMarco's rough style. Every time he started his attacks to the body, DeMarco would stay his ground and rush him with over the $12,500 he received last NAME EWART COACH OF FOOTBALL EAGLES The New York Bulldogs, formerly the Boston Yanks, today had a new coach to go along with their new name In 33-year-old Charley Ewart, onr-tlme Yale quarterback, F. I.

agent and more recently general manager and barkfield coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. The versatile Ewart, who becomes one of the youngest coaches ever to lead a National League Football Club, called his appointment "an exceptional chance for me." Ted Collins, owner of the Bulldogs, who transferred their playing site from Boston to the Polo Grounds in Xew York after several unprofitable seasons, did not disclose terms or the length of Ewnrt's contract. Utah Five Slaps Stuffing Out of Touring 'Birds Salt Lake City, Feb. 3 (U.R) The traveling Blackbirds of Long Island University took a page out of the weather book last night and were colder than a westein blizzard as they lost a 65 to 42 basketball game to Utah's cage artists before 4,432 cheering fans. It was the first defeat against three victories for Coach Clair Bee's L.

I. U. squad in their seven-game western barnstorm ing trip. They will play Okla homa A. M.

tomorrow. The Blackbirds have already beaten Oregon University twice and Santa Clara once. L. I. didn't make a single point in the first five minutes of the game, i Midway in the first half the Utes, -bouncing back from a double skyline six conference loss to Brigham Young, had climbed to a 24 to 4 advantage.

Leads Attacks The Utes rolled easily to vie tory, behind the miraculous play of center Vern Gardner, who led the scoring for the night with a 24 points but who badly twisted his ankle in the closing minutes. At halftime, Utah rented with a 28 to 12 lead. Coming back from the intermission, Utah forward Murray Satterfield made five straight baskets as the Redskins continued to dominate the game. Long Island's tall, colored center, Sherman White, was high scorer with 11 points for the Blackbirds and handled the ball beautifully but usually didn't even come close in field goals attempts. Second high scorer for the Blackbirds was Lou Lipman with nine.

Earl Foster, who won a section of, the 1,000 run in the Cleveland Democratic Club meet, on scratch. He'll have competition from Hugh Campbell of St. John's, another section winner in the Cleveland games, and a host of lesser lights. With the Metropolitan Inter collegiate championships tomorrow night so important to ahe colleges in this section, they will send only the top relays to Boston for the B. A.

A. meet. The K. of C. meet should therefore, draw a large number of the local college youngsters Tops of these seem to be the sprinters among whom are Mor ton Mintz of Adelphi, who suc cessfully used a seven-yard handicap In the Cleveland games; Lester Schulman of N.

Y. who finished second, Hartley Lewis, his teammate; John Sherlock of Manhattan, and others. The scratch man will be Leonard Grace, former Bayside school flash. Tom Carey, former national champion, was slated to start in the K. of C.

sprints but he's also year, has returned his contract without the magic signature scrawled at the bottom. The salary to $14,000 doesn't satisfy the former and still stately N. Y. U. Violet.

"I may see Mr. Rickey again in a few days, was the big right-hander's laconic comment on the financial Impasse. Ralph's golden voice has been heard over the mike this Win ter, warbling melodiously, "I'd Love to Get You on a Slow Boat to China." But in real life all he wants from Rickey is to get the Deacon nicely over a barrel. Branca was a disappointment last season through no particu lar fault of his own. He was kept from being a 20-game win ner for the second campaign in a row by an old, backfiring knee injury and a sore arm.

The Dodgers announced the signing of three other players Roy Campanella, Eddie Mik sis and Tommy Brown, all of whom will receive more money written into thei rfortnightly check. Brown has signed as an outfielder. Manager Burt Shot-ton is eager to get more right handed hitting power into his outfield and the club is well loaded with Brown's type of in fielders. It isn't known yet if he can get the jump on a fly ball. He worked out briefly among the four-leaf clovers toward the fag end of the 1948 campaign There's plenty of elbow room out there for him to wind up that strong arm and let fly Many another infielder has made the retreat to the grasslands with conspicuous success Ben Chapman, Riggs Stephen son, Larry Doby and Joe Di Maggio, just a few who come to mind.

Five-Year Man This is the Parade Grounds graduate's fifth year in baseball and he's still a callow 21 years old. He came to the Dodgers when he was 16 and has spent at lease part of his four seasons with his Summer address Ebbets Field. He has been groomed to become a power hitter. Only seven runners of 32 burglarized a base on Campa nella deadly arm last year, Although he hit for a .258 aver age, his slugging percentage was .416, on 11 doubles, three triples and nine home runs. He stole four bases in five attempts and never failed to -advance a runner when he laid down seven sacrifices.

Miksis, the young second baseman with the hands of an octopus, wore opikes of mer cury, too, with five pilfered sacks in six tries. But he hit a subnormal .214 and is strictly a defensive ball player. The Dodgers broke down and admitted that Rickey had signed Rex Barney in Chicago. Rex has developed the knack of get-tingthimself in the news. First he did a George Washington and attempted to throw a silver dollar across the Mississippi and the day before yesterday announced his own signing.

Rickey was anxious about the injured foot and had the boy on his arrival in Chicago from Omaha take off his shoes and socks and lift himself up on his toes and flex his muscles. "It was a perfect test," said the Mahatma. "You couldn't tell one foot from the other." But standing on your toes like a Russian ballet dancer isn't the same thing as bearir.g down on your foot in a ball game, not by nine innings. entered in Boston for the in- vitation sprint. St.

John's and St. Francis College will have ample con tingents in the meet. School boys from Mepham, Freeport Pennington, N. and other schools rarely represented in thi.s district will be entrants. Last year the team battle was a real hot one with St.

Francis, on its way back in track athletics, giving the deep Pioneer A. C. a fierce fight, which the Manhattan club won by only a fraction of a point. St. Francis, incidentally, has a team of 13 freshmen entered in the Metropolitan Intercollegiate championships at the armory on 168th just west of Broadway, This is in addition to the varsity team of more than 25.

A fair indica tion of what to expect in the, way of a new team champion will come out of the field events scheduled to be held at Columbia's South Field this afternoon, starting at 1 o'clock. N. Y. domination of these events has repeatedly given it a powerful lead going into the running phase of the meet, i Hogan in Close Call With Death In Auto Crash El Paso, Texas, Feb. 3 (U.R) Ben Hogan, golfdom's "golden boy," lay helpless in an El Paso hospital today with a fractured pelvis, a broken collar bone, three cracked rihs and a deep gash, under his left eye.

But bantam Benjy has not come to the end of the glory road that had made him the nation's top-money golfer in 1948 and the hottest shooter on the fairways In 1919. Hogan miraculously escaped death yesterday when his Cadillac and a Greyhound bus smashed into each other on a highway 150 miles east of El Paso. Mrs. Hogan, sitting beside her husband in the front seat, said that Ben's chivalrous at tempt to shield her when he saw the crackup could not be avoided undoubtedly saved his life. "We crashed head on," she said.

"He threw himself in front of me, to protect me. That saved his life, for the engine of our car was tossed into the seat and the steering gear was shoved into the back seat." After a 90-minute delay caused by confusion at the scene, Hogan was rushed by ambulance to Hotel Dieu, a Catholic hospital, here. Royal Hogan, Ben's brother, flew to El Paso last night to join Mrs. Hogan at his bedside. Both were consoled today by the thought that Hogan's back was not broken, and that his condition has been changed from "critical" to Dr.

Lester C. Feener, a prominent El Paso diagnostician, said that Hogan would recover and play golf again, but only after a long convalescence. Assisting Feener were Dr. Leopoldo Villarreal, one of the Southwest's leading surgeons, and Dr. David Cameron, a bone specialist.

Hogan, who had lost to Jimmy Demaret in an 18-hole playoff for the $10,000 Phoenix open championship last Monday, had withdrawn from the Winter tournament trail. He had planned to get back into competition in the Master's Tournament at Augusta, in the Spring. Hogan and his wife were on their way to Fort Worth, Texas, where Ben started his brilliant career as a caddy 12 years ago, when the accident happened. A sheriff's report said the bus pulled out to pass a truck and crashed into Hogan's eastbound sedan. De Wilt Brothers Purchase Browns St.

Louis. Feb. 3 Brothers William and Charles DeWitt, new owners of the St. Louis Browns, said today that Zack Taylor will remain as manager of the club and that no executive personnel changes will be made. The brothers, who grew up in the shadow of Sportsman's Park where Charles sold soda pop as a teen-age youth, bought controlling interest in the Browns from Richard C.

Muckerman yesterday. The DeWitts said that "St. Louis is the greatest city in the world, and so long as we have anything to say about them, the Browns will stay In St. Louis." "GOING PLACES?" PHONE MA. 4-5200 FOR IDEAS MONFRL, 9 A.M.-5 P.M.

On the Rebound By Ben Gould Al McGuire's injured ankle is okay A boro eager who resigned from his college squad some time ago was turned down by his coach when he applied for reinstatement Harry counter attacks. In the sixth round, Sierra opened up twice with rapid-fire attacks to the body. peMarco landed some solid right-hand blows through the battle and, while there were no knockdowns, Sierra was pushed outside the ropes twice. Judge Bert Grant gave De-Marco the edge, 64, Jed Gahan scored it 6 3 1 for Paddy and Referee Mark Conn balloted 73 for the Brooklynite. DeMarco scaled 134 Sierra, 133.

It was the most profitable show staged by the Tournament of Champions at the Man-, hattan Center. A crowd of 2,710 paid $6,106 at the gafe. In the semi-final, Archie De-vino, 125, Newark, N. scored a TKO over Filberto Osarlo, 124V2, Puerto Rico, at 2:23 of the eight and final round. Eddie Marmo, 163V2, Paterson, N.
