Braves Fail To Trade For . 41 Don Blasingame MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (UPD— Some days everything goes haywire, like with the Milwaukee Braves, who within a 24-hour stretch failed in a bid for Don Blasingame and glumly watched others try to throw their bonus money down a drain. All this misfortune hit the Braves practically at the same time as major league oficials moved here for their meetings which start next Tuesday and the minor leaguers wound up their cenvention at St. Petersburg. General Manager Johnny McHale of the Braves admitted he had made a bid for Blasingame, the fine little second baseman of the Cardinals. Ask Too Much “We realize the Giants strengthened themselves in their deal with the Orioles and it’s up to us to better ourselves, too,” McHale explained. “The Cards want too much for Blasingame, though. They asked for two regulars, neither of whom are rinkjMiinks.” McHale wouldn't, identify the players but they are known to be pitcher Boh Buhl and shortstop Johnny Logan. The Cards claim negotiations have fallen flat. Blow For Braves “Everyone wants to give a rowboat for a battleship,” commented Manager Solly Hemus. “They ask you for this guy and when you tell ’em you’ll give someone else instead, they act like you stabbed them right under the heart” Possibly an even greater blow for the Braves was the minor leagues’ approval of a draft amendment aimed at curbing excessive bonus spending. The Braves objected vociferously but were out-voted. In a nutshell, if the proposal is passed by the majors next week —and chances look good that it will be — it would allow major league clubs to option a drafted first-year player back to the minors for three years.

Week's Schedule For Adams County Basketball Teams Friday Berne at Yellow Jackets. Commodores at, Adams Central. Monmouth at Pleasant Mills. Bryant at Geneva. Minneapolis Takes Over Denver Team FORT WAYNE, Ind. (UPD— Minneapolis will take over the hard-luck Denver Mavericks in the International Hockey League, the board of governors of the IHL decided at a meeting here Thursday night. Minneapolis also will take over Denver’s 10-8 standings and its schedule which pits the nowMinneapolis club against Toledo tonight The Minneapolis Millers won't have a home stand until Dec 12. David Segal, a Denver motel and broadcasting executive who led efforts to keep the Mavericks in Denver, had estimated that it would take at least 825,000 and said it was found that a handful of businessmen could not take over “in mid stream.” The Minneapolis backer is Ben Berger, who formerly was associated ’ with the Minneapolis Lakers basketball team. Bob May, who was coaching at Denver, will continue at Minneapolis. May said he believed that all but two of the Denver players would make the switch. He said Gordy Cowan and Harry Ottenbreit, who are students, probably would want to stay in Denver where they are attending a university. Julius Boros Leads Coral Gables Open CORAL GABLES, Fla. (UPD— First round leader Julius Boros teed off in an early morning chill today with a one-stroke advantage over the field in the Coral Gables Open golf tournament. The cold weather, dropping the temperature to the 40’s in the Miami area Thursday night, made the palm trees which dot the Biltmore Municipal Course look strangely out of place, z . Boros, the 1952 Open champion, let neither low temperatures nor a gusty wind bother him Thursday, however, as he fired a four-under-par 67. Boros, of Mid Pines, N.C., fashioned his round mostly on dead-eye approach shots. Grouped behind Boros at 68 were Bill Johnston of Provo, Utah, Dow Finsterwald of Tequesta, FlaJack Fleck of Los Angeles and Doug Sanders of Miami. Nine golfers were tied for third place with 69. They included Tony Lerna of San Lenardo, Calif., and Arnold Palmer, Ligonier, Pafresh from winning the West Palm Beach Open last week. t Four Syracuse Players Named On North Squad MOBILE, Ala. (UPD — Topranked Syracuse placed four men on the North squad announced today for the 11th annual Senior Bowl football game here Jan. 9. Roger Davis, a guard on the 1959 UPI, ( AU-Anpprica’ team, heads the Syracifcefdalegation, umich also includes tackles Bob Yates and Maury Youmans and halfback Ger Schwedes.

Jerry Lucas Key To Ohio State Hopes CHICAGO (UPD — If heralded sophomore Jerry Lucas plays up to his press notices, then Ohio State should battle Indiana to the wire for top ranking in the Big Ten basketball race this season. Lucas, a 6 foot 6 inch Middletown, Ohio, product who was sought by more than 100 colleges after a phenomenal high school career, is the key to the Buckeye title chances. Even Coach Fred Taylor admits that if Lucas comes up to his potentialities, Ohio State could be hard to beat. “He’s everything they said he was,” Taylor said, “but you've got to remember that he's a sophomore, and sophomores make mistakes. If he doesn’t make too many mistakes, if he develops fast, then maybe we’ll be a good team.” Siegfried Reported Improved Lucas has been handicapped by two bad knees, but Taylor believed now that he would be able to play. Lucas isn’t the only threat the Buckeyes have. In the same category is Larry Siegfried, one of the league’s best scorers as a sophomore last year, and supposedly even better as a junior. Indiana, though, will have experience and height, particularly the latter with 6 foot 11 inch Walt Bellamy and 6 foot 7 inch Frank Radovich back to hold the front line. Coach Branch McCracken also boasts veteran guards Gary Long and Herbie Lee as well as a host of newcomers But he complains of lack of experienced depth. Two other teams with a “big man,” Illinois and Minnesota, might become factors. The Illini retain 6 foot 8 inch John Wessels, jumping Jack Govoner Vaughn and Manny Jackson, while thei Gophers keep 6 foot 7 inch Ron Johnson, another of the league’s leading scorers last year, Jerry Butler, Paul Lehman and a sophomore standout in Norm Grow. The other six clubs, though potential upsetters, lack height, but should have speed. Defending champion Michigan State will have to make Horace Walker its key rebounder if not its key scoring threat, and probably won’t have enough experience to challenge tor the title- , 3 Michigan Lacks Height lowa, with 6 foot 7 inch Nolden Gentry available again as a standout rebounder, may get better scoring punch from little Ron Zagar, eligible again. Michigan has experience, and a pair of standouts in John Tidwill and Terry Miller, but lacks height. Northwestern lost every starter except Willie Jones, and inexperience could prove costly. Purdue, its entire starting lineup gone, will rely on sophomores, and Terry Dischinger and Darrell McQuitty might turn into stars quickly. Wisconsin, with new coach Johnny Erickson, will depend on Bob Barneson and Jim Biggs to spark a drive to improve on last year’s record of only one win in 14 conference games. Both De Paul and Loyola among the independents should be stronger. De Paul keeps its stellar guard, Howie Carl, plus other good veterans, and Loyola, with Clarence Red returning for -his junior year, adda Gorman, sidelined for owseaw* bfeinjury, to give excellent height. Notre Dame lost both Tom Hawkins and Gene Duffy and probably won't be the equal of its teams of recent seasons. Marquette keeps three standouts, Wait Mangham, Jim Kollar and Don Kojis, from the 1959 quintet which won 23 of 29, and could be an NCAA tourney challenger again.

Syracuse And UCLA To Clash Saturday LOS ANGELES (UPD-Power-ful Syracuse, the nation’s topranking football club, today gets in some quick, last minute practice before closing out its season against UCLA, here Saturday in a nationally-televised game. Although the Orangemen were loath to make advance excuses for themselves, the Syracuse squad has missed so many practice session due to bad weather in New York that Coach Ben Schwartzwalder was obviously worried. The team arrived at Lockheed air terminal at nearby Burbank Thursday night. They went directly to the Coliseum from the air- ' port. The “trial horse” UCLA team posed a challenge to Syracuse’s unbeaten record as a result of its upset victory two weeks ago over Southern California. The Trojans were the nation’s second-ranking team to Syracuse when they met : UCLA.

High Military Brass Guests Os Contractor WASHINGTON (UPD—House investigators released testimony today showing that Gen. Nathan F. Twining, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was among high military officers entertained by a big missile contractor at a plush Bahamas resort. The Martin Co , of Baltimore, told a House armed services subcommittee that if spent 818,000 on gay weekend golfing parties for nine generals, nine admirals and other guests. Air Force Secretary James H. Douglas and Elwood R. Quesada, head of the Federal Aviation Agency, also sampled the defense firm’s hospitality, although Douglas paid his own expenses. Quesada, a former Air Force Officer, was serving as President Eisenhower's aviation adviser at the time. Martin, which produces the Titan missile and has about 800 million dollars worth of defense contracts, was host for the fun-in-the-sun outings at the exclusive Cotton Bay Club on the island of Eleutherig. George M. Bunker, Martin board chairman, told the subcommittee there was nothing unethical about entertaining military brass. He said he couldn’t believe "anybody is going to think they are unduly influenced because they played golf” with him. But the subcommittee chairman, F. Edward Hebert (D-La.), commented, “I dare say 90 per cent of the American public immediately thinks they are being influenced.” Hebert said it may be all right for a business to entertain private customers but the practice is “highly improper where the government is concerned.” He said the government is Martin’s only customer. Hebert also noted that the company, after picking up the tab for the Bahamas trips, tried to write it off as a business expense for tax purposes but was rebuffed by the Internal Revenue Service.

Ike's Give-aways Scored By Truman

MILWAUKEE (UPD— Former President Harry S. Truman described the Eisenhower administration Thursday night as a “won’t-do” government specializing in “give-aways.” Truman, who spoke at a fundraising dinner in behalf of Gov. Gaylord Nelson, said the Eisenhower administration has been notable for such “give-aways” as the tidelands oil dispute, the Dix-on-Yates power fight and “turning the control of the finances of the government over to the bankers.” The administration “is now preparing to give away the atomic energy power for which the taxpayers spent 25 billion dollars,” the ex-president said. “The administration is trying to pin a won’t do tag on Congress,” he said, “and I am sorry to see some Democrats who ought to know better acquiescing in the acceptance of this label.’’ Truman said the problem of the world’s population explosion could be solved by changing sea water to fresh water, not by birth control. •’lf we can get sea water made fresh to make deserts bloom, he said, enough food can be grown to feed an unlimited number of people. “The population explosion is not anythin gto be alarmed, about,” he said. “When it becomes necessary to meet that situation, it will be met-”

Gene Fullmer Defends Title Against Webb LOGAN, Utah (UPD — Gene Fullmer, from the college of hard knocks, is an 8-5 favorite to keep his , middleweight (fNBA) crown tonight in an unprecedented uni-verSity-campus fight with the very collegiate Ellsworth (Spider) Webb. Their nationally televised and broadcast (NBC) 15-rounder will be staged In the Utah State University field house at 10 pm. e.s.t. Never before was a professional title fight held on a collete campus. Despite the odds on this return match, lanky Webb of Chicago predicted confidently tod a y, “Fighting on the campus I can’t lose—l can’t let down that cheering section from Idaho State College.” Fullmer Seeks 11th Straight Webb, who was outpointed by Fullmer in a non-title 10-rounder at Salt Lake City last year, trained for tonight’s longer contest at Pocatello, in the Idaho State College field house. He was a sudent at ISC before he turned professional. Fullmer of West Jordan, Utah, said, “I got my schooling as a welder’s helper in the big copper pit at Bingham Canyon, and that was Just the right schooling for the kind of work I'll do again tonight an Professor Webb.” Gene seeks his 11th straight victory; Webb his fifth straight knockout. Co-promoter Norman Rothschild said the advance sale indicated a near capacity 7,000 crowd and a gate of about 895,000. Rothschild of Syracuse, NY. is co-promoting with Utah’s Intermountain Boxing Club. Champ Gets 40 Per Cent The champion should get about 870,000 as his 40 per cent o the net gate and 8100,000 TV fee. Webb should receive about $35,000 for his 20 per cent of each. Dark - haired Fullmer, brawny and bull-shouldered, is favored because he came from behind on Sept. 11, 1958, and wilted Webb with a plunging body-attack in the last three rounds for the unanimous decision: 96-94,97-93, 97-95. The Spdier, attempting his. first 15-rounder tonight, must withstand a body battering for five additional rounds unless he can knockout Gene in the early going.

Indiana Third In Covered Bridges INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—The Indiana History Conference received a report today showing that there are 152% covered bridges in Hoosierland, third highest total among the states. Eugene R. Bock, Anderson newspaperman who keeps track of the situation as chairman of the covered bridge committee of the Indiana Hostorical Society, explained that the one-half bridge is a structure spanning the IndianaOhio state line north of College Corner Ohio claims half and Indiana half in a good-natured “dispute” between the historical societies of both states. Indiana ranks third beyond Pennsylvania and Ohio in numbers of covered bridges left from a’’ bygdne era, Bock reported. The only bridge lost during the past year was a Swain’s Mill span near Arlington in Rush County. It collapsed when a truck plunged through the floor last spring. Dismantling of the Vine St. bridge in Shelbyville was completed this year, but it was listed as a 1958 loss. However, other bridges are scheduled for removal, including the Jordan Creek span at Bowling Green in Clay County, a bridge across Fishback Creek in Marion County near Traders Point, the Lowel bridlge near Coumbus. the Parkersburg bridge on the Mont-gomey-Ftftnam County line and the Guilford bridge in Dearborn County. Others, Bock said, have an “uncertain” future. Bock reported that Parke County’s 39 covered bridges give that county the honor of haying more than any other county in the nation. Parke holds a covered bridge festival each October. Bock, managing editor of the Anderson Bulletin, once published a national and a' state publication for covered bridge hobbyists.

Former Vaudeville Star Dies Today CHICAGO (UPI) — Old time vaudeville star Rosetta Duncan, the clown of the famous Duncan sisters comedy team, died today. Miss Duncan, 58, was critically injured Tuesday when she fell asleep at the wheel and her car crashed into a bridge abutment in suburban Cicero. Rosetta and her sister, Vivian, 56, began their 43-year career in show business with a teen-aged vaudeville yodeling act in San Francisco. Fame eluded them until the 1920 s when they wrote a blackface skit, “Topsy and Eva,” a musical version of "Uncle Tom’s Cabin” and presented it to sell-out crowds across the nation. “She thought she would live forever,” said her weeping sister when told of Rosetta’s death. “She was a gay, happy girl who never worried about anything. “I simply don’t know what I’ll do now, she was such a part of me all my life. I’ll simply have to wait and see what the future holds in store. “God must have needed a Topsy. That’s probably why He called her” Besides Vivian, the survivors include a third sister, Mrs. Evelyn McClellan Steward, married to a mechanical engineer in Hollywood, and a brother, Harold, Daytona Beach, Fla., a former professional tennis player. The body was taken to a Lyons funeral home. She will be buried in Glendale, Calif., in the Forest Lawn Cemetery alongside her father, real estate dealer Samuel H. Duncan, who died 10 years ago.

Break-up Os Crosby Brothers Reported MONTREAL (UPl)—The Crosby brothers, who vowed less than a year ago to stay eternally together in show business, split up early today and walked out on a 812,000 night club engagement. The break-up was preceded by a heated argument in their dressing room shortly before thelir scheduled midnight appearance at the El Morocco, it was reported. A spokesman for the club said the split-up “was due to Internal strife.” He said the group still had seven more performances to go before fulfilling their contract. The boys, Gary, 26, twins Dennis and Philip, 24, and Lindsay, 22, have been known to have had disagreements in the past Gary, usually the spokesman for the group, was said to have a quick , temper and the others were reported to resent his bossiness.
