When the quarter ended the
lead was sliced to 23-17.
The biggest difference in the
first half had been the ability of
the shorter Bearcats to control
the backboards. Curtis had been
covered completely in the first
half, as he could score only four
points—all free shots.
Coach Larry Priddy’s cohorts
came battling back in the third
period and midway through the-
frame Hays shot the Leopards
back into their first lead since
the opening minutes, 25-24.

Lighted Field
Plans were made at the Pee Wee league meeting Thursday night
to construct a lighted field for the youngsters to play on this sum-
mer. Such a field should go a long way toward giving the loop the
popularity it deserves in this city.
Many fans and parents in the past have not been able to see the
kids in action because the games were played in the afternoon
and the daylight schedule interferred with working hours.
Now with the lighted field they will be able to see and appre-
ciate what the boys are doing. Many fans will be amazed at the
brand of ball that the Pee Wee leaguers display.

Happy Finish
The Leopards ended the sea-
son on a happy note last night
as they bumped Sherman in one
of the lowest - scoring games
played by the locals all year.
The Spotted Cats were defi-
nitely not hot as they couldn’t
seem to find the range. They
were death on their free tosses,
though, and that proved to be
the difference as they hit on 15
of 19, while Sherman could only
hit three of 11.
Spencer Hays played a fine
game for the locals, and had it
not been for his consistent scor-
ing on long shots, it might have
been a different story. Hays
scored 15 points, hitting six of
14 shots from the floor, a .428
average.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 21 (AP)—The dition to the
St. Louis Cardinals, close to
being transferred to Milwaukee
The Leopards, experiencing a ____ ____—g
field goal drought, came battling orgy, but it was Denton’s Dick
back as Hays, the only consistent Hastings who stole
scorer in the first half, and The eneed’ fonun"
Roddy Osborne connected for
two-pointers.
Once all the champions are in
the fold, the rest of the American
league clubs might as well pack
their bags and take the trek back
home—that is if Charley Dress-
en’s crystal ball is in good work-
ing order.
“Casey Stengel will make it
five in a row,” the Brooklyn
manager said yesterday, hurried-
ly adding, “and I think we can
beat them this year.”
Also joining in the optimism
at Vero Beach was Buzzy Bavasi,
the Dodgers’ vice president.
“Dressen told me that if I ob-
tained one more starting pitcher
he would win,” declared Bavasi.
“So we got Russ Meyer and we
agree with Charlie that we now
have enough to win.”
The statements of Dressen and
Bavasi notwithstanding, some of
the other big league squads pro-
ceeded to go through the motions
of getting in shape for the up
coming campaign.
Manager Lou Boudreau, after
dismissing his pupils from yes-
terday’s baseball school session
at Sarasota, indicated he will
but Taylor tied it on a driving
layup.
King sank a one hander to give
the locals another lead, but
Pierce matched it at the buzzer
leaving the score tied 28-all.
Leopards Take Over
It didn’t take the 'Leopards
long to take over in the third pe-
riod. The Spotted Cats scored
free throws by Hays and King
and buckets by Curtis and Jerry
to curse or to argue with
umpire. If they do, they
forced to leave the game.
“It will enable me to get a
good idea of how our kids per-
form under fire,” he said.
At Mesa, Ariz., the Chicago
Cubs started spring practice with
Manager Phil Cavaretta putting
his charges through a light
workout. The 36-year-old Cava-
retta said he wants to stay active,
probably as a pinch hitter.
Eighteen players took part in
Washington’s opening workout
at Orlando with pitcher Walt
Masterson conspicuous by his ab-
sence. The veteran hurler ig-
nored the deadline for signing
set by Vice President Calvin
Griffith.
Harry Byrd, the American
league’s Rookie of the Year in

these days. But the World
Champion New York Yankees
are scheduled to depart for their
St. Petersburg, Fla., base today
armed with a healthy supply of
pens, ink and contract forms.
George Weiss, Yankee general
manager, left for the Yankee
camp yesterday to meet with
Manager Casey Stengel, who is
flying in from the team’s school
at Glendale, Calif.
Only four of the unsigned
Yankees are due Monday when
the pitcher-catcher camp opens,
but they are the big ones—Allie
Reynolds, Vic Raschi, Eddie Lo-
pat and Whitey Ford.
Of the main squad, due March
starts.
This year Morris is looking
for a sponsor, but as yet no one
has shown enough interest in
seeing the youth of Gainesville
playing baseball to offer any
aid? The load of operating a
team is too heavy for one man
to shoulder without any help.
Even with that team in oper-
ation, one club is not enough to
take care of all the boys who
have a desire to play baseball.
One big solution would be
bringing the . high school back
into baseball. True, baseball is
not a money making proposition
in high schools, but a high
school is not a profit-making
organization in the first place.
Last year Denison reportedly
drew terrible crowds and went
only $100 in the hole. It seems
they considered the money well
spent, for Denison will be back
at it again this year, along with
every other district school ex-
cept Gainesville.
Not only do all the district
schools have the national pas-
time, but so do many schools of
smaller classification. Saint Jo
and numerous other Class B
schools have teams, and have
had them for several seasons.
There is a world of talent at
the high school and they all
dearly love the diamond sport.
We bet if the Leopards had a
team this season, such perform-
ers as Jerry Murphy, Marcus
Almon, Jackie Tatum, Lloyd
Nichols, Lloyd King, Roddy Os-
borne and many other experi-
enced hands at the local school
could null the Leopards very

dropped in 15 points.
Curtis chipped in with
spear rebounds over the heads
of the shorter Sherman eagers.
In addition he scored 16
points, many of them on long
jump shots. The slender pivot
man hit on seven of 14 attempts,
a blistering .500 percent.
Jackie Tatum was just as hot
as he dumped in seven buckets
on 14 tries too.
In all the Cubs shot 55 times
and hit on 19, a .343 average,
considerably better than Sher-
man’s .315 percentage, in which
they hit 17 of 54.
This and That
The seventh and eighth grade
tourney, which is drawing to
a close tonight, has evidentally
been quite an exciting affair. In
one night two overtime games
were reeled off in succession.
The Valley View girls edged
Callisburg, and Muenster, in a
thriller that saw the lead
change hands four times in the
extra period, nipped Valley
View.
Two important games are on
tan for the SW conference to-
night as TCU plays host to Rice
and Texas entertains SMU. If
both TCU and Texas win, which
is not an unlikely happening,
the race will be a two-team af-
fair between the two.
The Owl ticket drive will not
be opened until the last part of
next week in all probability.
The ducats have not yet arrived,
The Leopards ended their 1953
cage campaign on a happy note
last night as they edged past
Sherman, 39-35, to avenge an
earlier loss and windup in sole
possession of second place in the
3AAA standings.
The loss knocked Sherman
down to third place behind the
Greenville Lions.
It was a rough game that saw
the Leopards make their few free
pitches payoff for the win. Sher-
man found the range for more
field goals than did the Spotted
Cats as they hit 16 to the Leop-
ards’ 12, but it was at the free
throw line the game was won.
The locals were deadly on
charity tosses as they sank 15 of
19, while Sherman could only hit
three of 11.
Slow Start
The game got off to a slow
start as neither side could find
the range. Finally Spencer Hays
fired in a long shot to start the
ball rolling.
After the Leopards drew first
blood Sherman took over. Mid-
way in the quarter two buckets
bv Charles Cole had pushed the
visitors in front, 4-2, as the tem-
po began to pick up.
With Cole adding another and
flashy Jackie Pierce hitting a
jump shot, the Sherman lead in-
creased to 8-3.
Hays hit again from far out
and Chuck Curtis and Lloyd
King added free tosses to cut 'the
margin to 12-7 just before the
buzzer.
The action picked up some-
what in the next period, but
Sherman still led the way.

Saigh, who earlier had ex-
