Beckner Fired As Net Coach At Richmond RICHMOND. Ind. (INS) — The Indiana High School basketball coaching hiring • firing routine, which had jogged along with a minimum of surprises this year, exploded today. Art Beckner was as head coach at Richmond high school despite a five-year 82-46 record, four sectionals, a state finalist, and a petition from 300 fans urging a week’s delay in action. -Beckner, who mdvoffTo Richmond from a state championship year at Muncie, 1951, said he never has been given complete charge of basketball at Richmond and he doubts that any coach ever will succeed in the North Central conference city under present circumstances, in which fans want winners and school officials want a teacher in charge of basketball rather than a coach. No reason was given for the action except that Beckner was up for tenure. New Castle, which lost Marvin Wood of Milan to a new Marion county school, ia looking for a coach and there are rumors that Kokomo and IjOgansport may be changing soon.

Dodgers Stage Second Opener At Jersey City DODGERS STAGE NEW YORK (INS) — Another footnote is added to the baseball history today when the Brooklyn Dodgers get a second chance to win their 1956 •'home’’ opener. Humiliated by Philadelphi* on opening day in Ebbets Field, the world champions cross the Hudson river to take another crack at the Phillies in the first major league game played at Jersey City since 1889. Dodger Manager Walter Alston helped open Jersey City’s Roosevelt Stadium 19 years ago by getting four hits as a Rochester firstbaseman. Ten years to the day, Jackie Robinson broke pro baseball’s color line there by getting four hits as a Montreal secondbaseman. Now the only major league team With two ’ home" parks plays the first of seven Dodger games in the Garden State, one against each National league rival and an exhibition affair wfflS Cleveland. The Brooks will open with all the colorful pageantry that accompanied their Ebbets Field opener, from the parades and brass bands to the hoisting of their first world championship flag. But this time they will send Carl Erskine in the hopes he will succeed where Don Newcombe failed Tuesday. He will be opposed by the Phils’ Murry Dickson. Back in the big city, meanwhile, the New York Giants chalked up their second straight one-run victory over Pittsburgh, 5 to 4, in the only N.L. game scheduled Wednesday. Boston won its second straight over Baltimore, 8 to 4, at Fenway Park and the New York Yankees registered No. 2 at Washington, 9 to 5, in the season's first night game. The only other scheduled American league game, Kansas City at Detroit, was postponed by cold weather. . - Only 2,493 shivering fans saw the Giants pull it out in the ninth inning ■when Willie Mays singled home the winning run. Relief pitcher Vernon Law struck out pinchhitter George Wilson to squelch a bases-loaded threat in the fifth inning and then retired ten straight batters before Gail Harris, Wes Westrum, Don Mueller and Mays tattooed him with successive singles in the two IQ • • SW 1 n&fe <•>- * • Frank Thomas homered twice for the Pirates, while Foster Castleman and Harris homered for the Giants. Reliefer Windy McCall got the win. A crowd of 8,759 braved a windy, raw day in Boston to watch the Red Sox blast Baltimore loser IRay Moore for six runs in the fifth inning. The Red Sox jumped him for four hits, four walks and sacrifice fly in the big fifth. Jimmy Piersall’s two-run single was the big blow. Bob Porterfield, acquired in the Washington trade along with first baseman Mickey Vernon, surrendered two-run home runs to Gus Triandos and rookie centerfielder Tito Francona. But beyond that he was tough, yielding only three other hits and striking out five. Ted Williams singled and got two walks in three trips to run his batting average to .800 for the first two days of the campaign. Mickey Mantle was held to one single by the Senators but Billy Martin and Bill Skowron sparked the Yankee victory—Martin batting in four runs with a pair of singles and Skowron collecting a double and two singles.

Heavyweight Title Bout Being Planned NEW YORK (INS) — Al Weill, portly manager of heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano, is headed for Macon, Ga., today to enlist his reluctant prize fighter for a September defense of his title. International Boxing Club president Jim Norris reported Wednesday that he and Weill have blueprinted a fall fight between Rocky and the winner of a four-way elimination “tournament.” About all that remains is Marciano's consent. That is a little like planning a wedding without a bridegroom, particularly In Hght of the Rock’s recent retirement talk. Weill’s oratory and Norris* money represent a rather persuasive tandem, however, and it will be surprising indeed if Marciano doesn’t agree ,to go to the wars at least once more. In fact certain cynical citizens of Cauliflower Row, having experienced the same sort of thing many times in the past, doubt that the retirement stories were anything mdft or less than part of the advance publicity buildup to create interest in the figlft. As Norris explains it, he already has Johnny Holman and Bob Baker paired for a 12-rounder at Miami May 9. He also hopes to match youthful Floyd Patterson against eccentric Tommy (Hurricane) Jackson, with the winner to meet the Holmap-Baker victor. The winner of that, in turn, would qualify for Marciano. According to all the form charts, this should be Patterson. The 1952 Olympic middleweight champion, only recently turned 21, is touted as the greatest heavyweight prospect since Joe Louis, although he really hasn't met any of the upper-

echelon contenders so far. Cautious Gus D’Amato, who. manages Patterson, has been making “bring on Mareiano” noises of late and seems to be ready to let his charge start playing with the big boys. Jackson’s unorthodox style may bother Patterson a bit, but he Seems to have too much class for either the Hurricane, Baker or Holman. Certainly, the IBC will have-its collective fingers crossed (or does an octopus have fingers?) because only Patterson can be developed into a decent drawing card against Marciano.
