Boucher Strikes Back At Critics of Rangers

j REBELLION ON BROADWAY—Garden hockey fans, the most patient breed in the sports world, at long last are tquawking raucously at.the plight of the last place Rangers.

- . " t t ' j a cheap outfit," the man behind the dasher, who pays the freight, is bleating in high dudgeon, whatever that means. "Why don't they go out and buy players like the other teams do and give us a Stanley Cup champ again for •Change?" "•£ The •.complaints have reached the sensitive ears of

Frankie Boucher, general manager of the Rangers, no longer the proud wearers of the famous blue shirt, but now garbed at home in scarcely pure white jerseys. They won't have any shirts at all if they don't reform shortly.

ON FANS' SIDE—"I don't blame the fans," said Bouch­er*. "They have been wonderfully loyal and they pay their good money.to see,fast hockey. If I was on the other side of,-the dasher I'd yell, too. But we have our problems, which they perhaps can't fully appreciate. >•

"The Ranger front office hasn't any pinch policy," denied the former star, who repeatedly was awarded the Lady Byng Trophy for clean play and therefore cannot tell a-Iie any more than George Washington could. " I venture to •ay the Rangers have spent more money to get outstanding players than any other club in the National Hockey League.

•-; "But you can't buy the right guys. Why, two years ago we offered $100,000 for Maurice Richard, but the Canadiens just laughed at us. The downfall of the Rangers dates back to the second World War."

OVER T H E HILL—Mr. Boucher took a deep breath of resignation.

"We lost our entire team to the Armed Forces," he said. "It was right and proper that we should. But when they re­ceived their discharge they were over the hill.

"The Canadian teams were not hit as hard. Their play­ers took jobs in war plants and kept on playing. We had Phii Watson then bu t couldn't use him. He worked in a Montreal plant and played with the Canadiens. Another Canadian—you'd recognize his name in a minute if I told you—ran an aviary on the outskirts of town. It was ruled an essential industry—the culture of bees.

"When our boys flopped we were left out in the center lea with aofelag feat S a©ek@y stick. Our farm 8ystem-%|4 j&liea a g a i t ©si w e aM'f;«wael,-tls'@.E©v@rs.8nd five ^ l a y ^ p s t St.' f*«iL Fre-^®# t$ f$$gj$j&Ssp|3c of"th« isvar wa ferfd'won the St&alsy Cap a a d ifsa'*Si'ye&i?- the league e*|fi||afi@asbip. Bat when I toek the jeb in 1948 we were stll |^apih© del-d r a m s , -rtfe. . -.i.e. .: -^a£s|i&h.v. . ,.-..-..'

"But the Rangers will ride again," predicted General Manager Frankie Boucher optimistically. "I can promise our friends that much,"

BUILDING FOR FUTURE—"It 's been a long grind and we're not yet out in the clear. But we're rebuilding the or­ganization. I traveled 50,000 miles by plane last year look­ing for prospects. We have 15 paid scouts combing the rinks all over Canada and British Columbia.

"We acquired seven of our present 17-player squad by trade. A year ago I cleaned out Cleveland in the American Hockey League of Hy Buller, Wally Hergesheimer and Steve Kraftcheck. But there are only three independent teams in the circuit, and Providence has nothing but castoffs to offer. We have affiliations with Vancouver and Saskatoon, the win­ner and runner-up in the Western Canada League.

"The Rangers, moreover, hold tryout camps for 150 youngsters each Winter and 50 more rookies report to our own camp. The hockey setup has changed since I played it. It's made up of farms. The other teams kept their farms. We let ours go to weeds. That was our big mistake." •

A CHEER FOR COOK—The general manager had words of sympathy for Bill Cook, his coach.

"It 's been a lonely furrow Bill has had to plough," Boucher concluded. "What other team could lose it's goalie, a blueliner and it's two best centers and go any place? That 's wha t happened to Cook when Chuck Rayner, Bones Raleigh and Leo Reise went to the cleaners and Edgar Laprade de­cided to retire."

The defense rests.

Ford Frick, commissioner of baseball, said today that it is up to the majors to "help the minors unselfishly or we are signing a death sentence for the game we all love."

"That is our number one job for the year to come," he stated as he discussed the problems of the game in his skyscraper of­fices in Radio City. "We start­ed the ball rolling in the Win­ter baseball meetings at Phoe­nix, Ariz., when legislation was passed which should help the minor leagues immeasur­ably."

Frick said that for the first time since he became commis­sioner more than a year ago, the major league club owners realize they have a job to do to help the minors survive.

Frick said he felt the majors »nd minors were closer together now on their common problems than at any time in recent years.

"We are In a peculiar position wherein we are both competi­tors and partners at the same time," he said. "But all of our major league owners know that one cannot operate without the other and if we should attempt to do so it would be a death sentence for the entire game

YANKEES ADVANCE GAME STARTING TIME

The Yankees announced to­day that next season they

• would -start their afternoon games at 2 p.m.

In the past the Yankees started weekday games at 2:30 p.m., and their Sunday games at 2t05 p.m. The start* lng time for night games will remain at 8:30 p.m. Weekday donble headers will start at 1:30 p.m., and Sunday double headers at 2 p.m.

By JOE l iEE The 6—4 defeat meted out by the Chicago Black Hawks was

secondary in the Ranger ranks today compared to the loss of Leo Reise. The burly defenseman sprained his left ankle in the third period on the Garden ice last night and will be out for 10 days.

Dr. Vincent Navdiello ordered Reise to remain home for X-rays as the club entrained for a game in Montreal tonight. The injury came when Al Dewsbury, Hawk defenseman kicked one foot out from under Reise. It marked the third time this season Reise has been sidelined. He missed six games because of a shoulder separation and shortly after his left instep was slashed, causing him to miss two more games

The loss is a serious one for i&e cettar-dwelling Blues. Reise Is f&'e hpy man on defense and with gealie Chuck Rayner out Batil. Sunday, things are not too promising for the New Yoriera' against Montreal to-night I/orne Worsley, Rayner's sub, failed to set the world on fire against Chicago.

Pressure on Stanley The pressure will now be on

Allen Stanley, who has been playing weak defensive hockey in the last three games. Allen seems to have lost all of his drive and checking technique. When Coach Cook y a n k e d Goalie Worsley with 30 seconds to play last night, Stanley missed a pass from Ronty. Gus Bodner quickly grabbed the puck and scored his second goal of the night.

The crowd of 5,365 saw a nip and tuck 3—3 game until mid­way of the second period when Ranger forward Dean Prentice was banished for interference. Cal Gardner, an ex-Ranger, passed to Fred H u c u l who scored from closeup. With two-and-a-half minutes remaining, Gardner scored to give Chicago a 5—3 edge at the end of the second period.

KtomesySedgmem Resume Tennis Duel Saturday

Los Angeles, Jam 8 (U.R)—Big Jack Kramer, smiling over his even split with Australia's Frank Sedgman in their two-night pro stand here, said today he was confident he could mas­ter his down-under . foe when they resume their net duel at Madison Square Garden Satur day night.

I felt a lot better and my service is-working the way I want it to," Kramer said last night after he outplayed Sedg' man in straight sets, 6—3, 6—4 before a capacity crowd of 7,000 fans at Pan Pacific Auditorium.

While Kramer avenged his three-set beating of Tuesday night, cocky pancho Segura of Equador, took his second con­secutive win over Aussie Ken McGregor when he thumped his towering rival 6—2. 6—2 in in opening match.

Brooks to Ship Flock Catcher To Hot Springs

By HAROLD C. BURR Roy Campanella is going to

come to a boil shortly. The overstuffed catcher of the Dodg­ers was considerably ovev-weight last year and the u p holstery sort of stuck out be­hind. It became a distressing sight to the Ebbets Field far who sat back of home plat Roy waddled when he walked| and he didn't have a good year under the bat.

Now he has been told to shed the excess baggage and he's going to Hot Springs toj take the baths and tramp the hills at the Arkansas health resort. No date has been set] for the departure but Cam­panella will spend a couple of rigorous weeks before report­ing to the Dodgers' Florida training camp at Vero Beach the end of February.

It was rumored that Joe Black and two or three of the

(other pitchers might trail along to bake out their arms,' but that couldn't be confirmed. Anyway, ; the party's being thrown for Campanella. the guest of honor.

Manager Charley Dressen will be down at the station when his receiver steps off the steam cars at Vero Beach, his penance of preliminary training done. Dressen will give the new Cam­panella chassis the once over, but not lightly. He will be look­ing for the svelt figure of a man.

Roy has always prided him-| self on his stamina. He would like to catch all 154 National League games if they would let him. But he realizes that he must be in the best physical shape to perform that sort of workhorse task.

This will be a year of trial and self-sacrifice for all of the aging league champions. The years are running out on the veterans, Roy among them. Jackie Robinson is close to having to cope with a weight problem himself. He has madel |. confession that it's his belief that when he's all washed up it won't be that his legs will go the way of all baseball flesh, but his waistline. It might be­hoove Jackie to go on a diet, too.

The Giants have signed their sensational rookie relief pitch­er. Hoyt Wilhelm put his sig­nature on his 1953 working papers yesterday. Wilhelm was Black's only serious rival for fire laddie honors last year.

Wilhelm toiled for tbe mini­mum big league wages of $5,000 as a freshman ace of the mound. But he received a sub­stantial pay increase for win ning 15 and losing three dec! sions his first full campaign in the NL. Bropklyn's Joe received the

Rookie of the Year Award over Wilhelm by a decisive vote. But the youthful Giant was quite a pitcher notwithstanding.

He was low in earned runs with a 2.43 average in 159 in nings. He had the best percen­tage in the won-and-lost col umn, Thus he became the first freshman ever.to capture both titles.

He gave up 127 hit? in 71 games, struck out 108 batters and yielded only 57 bases on balls. He shaded Black in all departments, yet he couldn't win the pennant for the Giants as Black did for the Dodgers, which is always a decisive fac tor in any voting on a player's worth.

OH, HIS ACHING BACK nors, he thinks, will come from the rule passed in Phoe nix whereby players cannot be shuttled back and forth to sat­isfy the whim of a major league control point which has a minor league farm without previous authority to atop these operations.

"Prom now on, there will bo no more of this sending a play er down for a day or so Just to stay within the player limit," he said. "The stabilization through that rule should he a big thing for minor league clubs. It should eliminate the qnlck grab."

Frick said the new rule should be especially helpful to minor league Independent clubs without definite major league affiliations.

He emphasized also that "like all other good major-minor rules, It should work out well the other way, too."

"It will prevent clubs front bringing up players at the late stages of the game which will help them, but which might unsettle a bljr league race." Such recalls won't be made In

the future except with mutual consent of the minor league team involved and not until after Sept. l .when major league

Durochor Concerned

Over Condition of .

Veteran Hurling Ace

(Fourth in a scries of inter­views with major league man­agers.)

Santa Monica, Cal., Jan. 8 (U.R) If Larry Jansen can return to

his 1951 form in 1953," It will all be sunshine" for his New York Giants, M a n a g e r Leo Durocher predicted today.

Jansen, a 23-game winner In 1951, won only 11 games and dropped the same number last year, rarely making an appear ance at all during the last two months of the campaign.

Durocher was exceptionally high on several newcomers who are slated to report to the Giants but was quite concerned over Jansen's back condition. He said he had not heard whether the veteran right-hand­er had recovered from the pain­ful condition.

"But Sal Maglie got over the same kind of back trouble and

t have hopes Larry will," he said. "If Jansen doesn't, then I'll need another starter."

Of the youngsters, Al Corwin seems to Durocher to be on the verge of having an outstanding season although he may look bad i n ' S p r i n g training, the Giant manager admitted.

Durocher said the rest of his mound staff would be composed of Jim Heam, whom he called a "dependable guy;" Dave Kos-lo, Hoyt Wilhelm, George Spen­cer and Maglie with several youngsters as possible addi­tions among his regulars.

Reports that Bobby Thomson might be shifted back to third base were branded as "prema­ture" by Llppy Leo. He said that Thomson could play third if he was needed there but he looked like he might not have to take it over.

"I've got s o m e good boys coming up who could fill that spot," he said. "This lad Ranee Pless, who led the Southern League in hitting, is supposed to be great H» might do. And then there's Daryl Spencer.

"From all the reports I get,

of the rout to come from the outset, as it casually coasted to a 2,1-11 lead at the quarter.

Tile tight Ram defense aided by o v e r p o w e r i n g board strength, held the Brooks to 11 points in' the next stanza while clicking off a 39-22 bulge by in­termission.

Fordhanv's continued high-pressure scoring buried the Kingsmen even deeper in the second half and the lead was 64—33 going into the final ten minutes. Captain Ed Parchin-ski sparked the Rams with 22 points.

The defeat was Brooklyn's fifth in ten outgoings and third in a row.

Jerry Wax and tiny Larry Ritchie caged 13 and 12 points respectively for the Kingsmen.

Satalino Sparks Indians to Win Over St. Francis

By BEN GOULD It looked like curtains for St.

John's when its hot-shot cap­tain and play-maker, Frank Gia-contleri, fouled out against St, Francis last night at the 2d Corps Armory with less than five to go. The Terriers, click­ing jmoothjy^ behind sparkling plays, hekTir 49-^44 edge "and appeared ready to lower the boom on their boro rivals for the first time in five years.

But coach Dusty DeStefano called upon a jet-propelled sub­stitute by the name of Marty Satalino and it was this shot-in-the-arm reserve who provided the lift which carried the Red-men to a 68-54 triumph.

Another Marty (Donohue is tbe second name) also per­formed brilliantly in the los« era' cause and bis efforts won him the annual C. Y. O. Trophy as thegaroe's outstanding per. f o r m e r as the 3,000 fan's cheered in approval.

Lose Eight-Point Lead St. John's triumph proved one

of the most amazing sagas of the campaign. Unable to make headway against a pressing foe, the Indians s c o r e d only 35 points in the first 30 minutes of play. In contrast, St. Francis re-, volved its drive around captain Vern Stokes, Donohue and big Hank Daubenschmidt, and at one stage of the second half held a commanding eight-point lead.

Then, when the Indian cause appeared doomed, the roof fell in on the Terriers. Jim Davis began to click in the pivot and me victors smashed through for nine straight points to take a 53-50 lead.

St. Francis had enough drive to bounce back to 54—53, bnt now the stage was set for Sata-lino's moment. The dark-haired Johnny clicked off eight points within two minutes to send the Redmen far ahead in what turned out to be a 14-polnt vic­tory. That torrled closing spurt netted St. John's 33 points in the final quarter.

The victors thus earned the first legion the Father John McCormack Trophy. Stokes, with 14 (12 in the first half) and Davis with 21 were tied for runner-up honors in the C. Y. O. award vote.

In the first game the St. John's jayvees prevailed by 86—72.

he's one of the best prospects to come along in many a year. He's tall and he's fast and he can hit. It looks like I'll have to play him somewhere. I'm not sure where yet but I un­derstand he can play either third or short."

Durocher was e s p e c i a l l y pleased with his material be­hind the plate. He said the re­turn of Sam Calderone from the Army would give the Giants another topnotch catcher. But he added that he still consid­ered Wes Westrum his num­ber one backstop "unless some­body shows me he's better."

"But It's great to have a choice of catchers for a change," he said. "Besides those two, we've got Ray Noble, Ray Katt and Sal Yvars. That fixes me up better with catchers than I've been In years."

Adding the additions to such standout regulars as Alvin Dark, Don Mueller, Monte Irvln and the rest, Durocher said the outlook was "not bad, not bad at all for the Giants."

Flanagan Ordered To Rest Injured Elbow for 6 Weeks

Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 8 (U.R)~ Welterweight Del Flanagan was ordered today to take six weeks of rest following an elbow In­jury last night that stopped his nationally t e l e v i s e d fight against Lester Felton of Detroit.

The St. Paul Irishman lost not only the fight when he couldn't continue after the third round but suffered a blow to his chances for a shot at the world welterweight crown.

Flanagan hurt his elbow in the opening round but carried on for two more before the pain forced the ending of the fight.

Dr. W. H. Lambright Jr., Cleveland Boxing Commission examiner, X-rayed Flanagan this morning. "X-rays showed no evidence o injury to the bone or the joint," he said.

"Flanagan probably has a torn ligament or muscle abov*> the elbow," Dr. Lambright said, "and I prescribe six weeks of rest. He should be all right after that."

Flanagan apparently hurt tha elbow midway through the first round of the scheduled 10-round bout. He aimed a right upper-cut at Felton, but pulled it short, then winced and grabbed his elbow.

Although unable to us t his right arm, Flanagan managed to finish the round and actu­ally outmaneuvered Felton for the next two rounds before Dr. Lambright entered th* ring at the end of the third and ordered th« fight stopped.

Loss of Hoffman Proves Too Much for Poly Cagers

Playing without the services of its top star, Harmon Hoff­man, the Brooklyn Polytech basketball team dropped a 60— 50 decision to Hofstra College last night on the victor's hard­wood.

The game was hard fought throughout the early stages with Hofstra walking off the court with a 28—23 halftime margin. Hofstra's record now stands at 11 victories and three defeats while Polytech has been beaten seven times in 12 out-ings.

Kd Morr and Paul MiliUok p*vc*id th« Hofstra attack with

18 and 12 points, respectively, while Jerry Rosen nttted 1* markers in a losing cause.

Harmon, who was stricken with pneumonia, has been mak­ing rapid strides against t h t ali­ment and there is * possibility that he may return to action against Stevens on Saturday.
