Baseball Slugger Battles For Life NEW ORLEANS <UPI) — Famous baseball slugger Mel Ott rallied slightly today in his grim fight to survive injuries from an automobile smash-up last week. Physicians at Touro Infirmary here said the former New York Giant’s chances for life were “slim but better” following eight hours of delicate kidney surgery in which an artificial kidney machine was used. Ott and his wife, Mildred, both 49, were critically injured last Friday night when their car smashed head-on into another vehicle in the Gulf coast resort town of Bay St. Louis, Miss., near New Orleans. Doctors described her condition as convalescent. Ott took a turn for the worse Thursday when he was brought to New Orleans from a Gulfport. Miss., hospital, whereT he and Mrs. Ott were being treated. Ott, an ex-outfielder and Giant manager who holds the National League record for home runs, now faces a series of tests to determine the extent of kidney damage. I.U.

Tigers Switch Billy Marfin To Cleveland CLEVELAND, Ohio (UPD — General Manager Frank Lane of the Cleveland Indians, forced to give up two top hurlers to land scrappy Billy Martin, said today the deal could pay off both on the field and at the gate. While admitting the Indians, “gave up plenty,” to get Martin, Lane pointed out that the fiery infielder, “could make us one-two-three in next year’s race, possibly the difference of 300,000 to 400,000 in attendance.” The Indians obtained Martin and pitcher Al Cicotte from the Detroit- Tigers Thursday in exchange for pitchers Don Mossi and Ray Narleski and infielder Ossie Alvarez. Martin, 30, was traded to the Indians exactly one year after he was sent to the Tigers in a 13player deal with Kansas City. Has Job To Do The infielder, who played on six pennant winning teams with the New York Yankees starting in 1950, failed to show any visible signs of being jolted after he learned he had been traded for the third time in 17 months. Martin, sent from New York to Kansas City during the 1957 season allegedly as the result of a birthday party in the Copacabana that turned into a brawl, said, “it wil be nice to be back on second base again. “It’s no fun moving,” he added, “but I’ve got a job to do there.” Martin indicated he would be happier playing regularly at second base with tne Indians than shifting to short and third as he did with the Tigers. Slipped At Bat Although Martin failed to put “new life” into the Tigers last season and slipped to .255 at bat. both Lane and Tribe Manager Joe Gordon are counting on him as their regular second baseman. Lane also noted that with Martin on second, the Indians can switch versatile ViC Power to third, ending a chronic problem at that spot. For the Tigers, the trade apparently solved one of the three major 1959 needs cited earlier this week by Manager Bill Norman. According to Normah, the Tigers lacked a fifth starter and also a “finishing pitcher" — one who could go into a tight spot late in the game and preserve the victory. Detroit General Manager Johnny McHale is hopeful that Narleski and Mossi can fill the bill. P’O Basketball Minneapolis 121, Syracuse 102.

Saturday Last Big Day For College Gaines United Press International California and Texas Christian practically “go for broke” Saturday when they make their bowl bids in the final big weekend of the 1958 college football campaign. Victories by the West Coast’s Golden Bears and TCU's Horned Frogs mean invitations to the Rose Bowl and Cotton Bowl. The situation can become confused, however, should these teams drop their Saturday encounters. California, 5-1, in the Pacific Coast Conference, has to beat hapless Stanford (2-7) to wrap up a Tournament of Roses meeting with lowa, Big Ten champion. However, Washington State and Oregon State are only a half game behind the Bears and can become the PCC leaders if they win and Stanford upsets California To further confuse the issue, if all three lose and Southern California beats UCLA, the Trojans and Bears then will be tied for the loop lead. TCU can avoid similar confusion in the Southwest Conference by beating Rice. An upset by the Owls will force a delay in naming the Cotton Bowl entry until the following Saturday. Rice, TCU and Southern Methodist then will emerge as possible candidates. Bowl Prestige On Line The Air Force Academy, West Virginia. Syracuse and Clemson put their bowl prestige on the line as they try to" cement New Year’s Day berths. The Air Force Falcons, whose tie with lowa mars a perfect record, is reported receptive to a Sugar or Orange Bowl bid. A win over New Mexico may clinch one for the airmen. Syracuse and West Virginia are in a precarious situation as they meet Saturday. Syracuse can practically ice an Orange Bowl stand by scoring an impressive victory over the Southern Conference champions. West Virginia is optimistic about beating the Orangemen and gaining an invita* tian to the Gator Bowl. Clemson, Atlantic Coast Conference champion, meets a scrappy Boston College squad that has won six of eight games. - — Louisiana State, top - ranked tearq in the nation, marks time as the Tigers meet Tulane. LSU already has clinched a Sugar Bowl spot and merely waits for its opponent to be named in the New Year’s Day classic. < Harvard Meets Yale Intrasectional battles come in for a big chew of Saturday’s highlights. In the Ivy League, Harvard is a 12-point favorite over Yale while Dartmouth and Princeton are rated a toss-up in their showdown for the conference crown. A traditional Midwest battle between Purdue and Indiana finds the Boilermakers a 15-point favorite over the Hoosiers. Sixthranked lowa is a six-point pick over Notre Dame in their nationally televised game.

(UPI) - Player representative Billy Howton today threatened National Football League Commissioner Bert Bell and team owners with “extreme measures’’ if they continue to disregard previous promises on such things as a pension and player rights on bubble gum contracts. The Green Bay Packers’ end. who is president of the NFL players Association, accused Bel of a “lot of conversation” and no results on player demands. He said owners have been disregarding previous promises to the association. Howton specificaly accused owner George Marshall of the Washington Redskins of being a “tightwad.” Howton said Bel and three club owners last February promised the association the rights for selling players’ pictures in packaged bubble gum would be turned over to the players. “It (the money) all goes to the commissioner now. They’re our pictures and we think we should get the money. But all we have received from Bell’s office is continuous interference,” Howton said. In referring to Marshall as a “tightwad,” Howton said team owners last spring agreed to pay players SSC per pre-season game abovetheir regular contracts. Howton said members of the Redskins have not been paid yet for the games played before the Sept. 28 start of the season. He explained some Redskins waived the money in signing 1958 contracts for higher salaries, “but not all of them and they want their money.” The Packer star said that last spring the owners were presented with proposals to include a pension plan and hospitalization and other benefits in contracts,” "but we haven’t heard from them since.” He said the owners also disregarded a proposal to form a player-owner committee to help resolve differences between , them.
