Red Sox Boss Is Beset By Many Problems SARASOTA, Fla. (UP) — The Boston Red Sox’ million dollar offer for pitcher Herb Score was interpreted as an admission by their front office that they can’t win with what they’ve got. Last year at this time the Yawkey millionaires were tabbed as a likely pennant winner, but Manager Mike Higgins’ pitching went sour and they wound up in fourth place, 13 games behind the Yankees. That’s why Higgins says that pitching will determine how far the club will go in 1957. He also admits he has to "straighten out my infield." The one department of the Red Sox which is of solid pennant-win-ning caliber is the outfield with Ted Williams in left, Jim Pier sail in center and Jack Jensen in right. Williams, eager to win the batting title, hit .345 in 1956 with 82 RBIs while Jensen batted .315 with 97 RBIs. Piersall, without a peer in the field, hit .293 with 87 RBIs. Other Positions Uncertain But beyond the outfield the Red Sox lineup is uncertain. There are three candidates for each infield post. At first, it’s even a battle against rookies for the veteran Mickey Vernon, who batted .310 last year with 84 RBIs. Billy Goodman, a good hitter who can’t make the double play: Ted Lepcio and two veterans of the baseball trail, Gene Mauch and Billy Klaus, are the second base candidates. Klaus also is in the running for shortstop along with Billy Console and Milt Bolling and also can play third. So can Lepcio. Frank Malzone, for whom- the Red Sox had such high hopes last spring and then wound up sending him down to San Francisco,, apd rookie Ken Aspromonte are the other third base candidates. Sam White and Pete Daley, who divided the job last year, and bonus rookie Haywood Sullivan» will handle the catching chores. Staler "Real Comer" As for pitching, Higgins tabs Dick Sisler, who won nine while losing eight last season, as “a real comer." Only Sisler, Tom Brewer ,(19-9) and Ivan Delock (13-7) lived up to Higgins’ expectations last year. Right hander Frank Sullivan won 14 games while losing seven but he started the season in the potential "20 game” class. Bob Porterfield was a disappointment with his 3-12 record and so was the veteran southpaw Mel Parnell, with his 7-6 record. Better things also had been expected of Willard Nixon (9-8) and Georgs Susce (2-4). Those eight hurlers are sure to stick, so its little wonder, off 1956 pitching performances, the Red Sox were willing to pay a million dollars for Score. With him the Red Sox feel they could win the pennant. Without him—and that’s how they are going to be—they may have more of a battle than they can handle to finish in the first division. Immanuel Dartball Team Wins Tourney The Union Immanuel dartball team won the Circuit A championship, defeating Bingen in the final game of the tourney by scores of 3-4, 13-1, 8-4, and 6-3. Bingen eliminated Suburban Trinity in a previous match, 2-1, 6-2, 2-9, 6-8 (11 innings), and 4-0. The Immanuel team will now compete in the district playoff at eßthlehem gym in Fort Wayne Sunday, April 28. For the second year, seeds of various winter vegetables labeled as Seeds for Democracy have been donated by American farmers to the farmers of East Pakistan as a gesture of friendship. The seeds were flown to East Pakistan and later shipped to Villages of the country.

Dupas Bout In New Orleans fls Anoroved NEW ORLEANS (VP) — Lightweight boxer Ralph Dupas claimed one of the big victories of his life today after the* Louisiana Boxing Commission okayed his April 8 fight with Vince Martinez and declined to rule on charges Dupas is a Negro. Sixth-ranked Dupas, who at 21 already has a seven year professional boxing record, said Tuesday night’s commission action "couldn’t have made me happier.” The commission was asked last week to rule on charges brought by a section of the state Health Department that Dupas was Negro and therefore ineligible to fight whites in the state because of a 1956 law which bans all racially mixed athletics. But the commission said that after two hearings — one in which Dupas, his mother and a woman who attended Mrs. Dupas at his birth testified — they found nothing to justify rescinding a sanction given for Dupas’ 10-rounder with Martinez, sixth-ranked welterweight. While the commission's action apparently leaves fight promoter Heard Regas a clear field to stage the bout, the fact remained that the charge of Negro brought against Dupas was not directly ruled upon. Many commission members said privately they believe it was beyond the jurisdiction of the commission to rule on any man's racial background. Had the commission ■ ruled against Dupas, Ragas said he planned to challenge the constitutionality of the 1956 racial ban
