The smooth striding Baker
closed on Dillon on the back

at the beginning of the last
curve. It began to appear that
Texas, man Dillon had the race
sewed up as signs of Baker's

I
Manager Lou Boudreau said
Saturday Feller’s failure to
round into form was the big
disappointment of ike training
season.. He said Feller would
have to show considerably more
stuff to be sure of the opening-
day assignment.
Well, rapid Robert had that
stuff yesterday. In the final game
at their Tucson, Arm,, camp, the
tribe blanked the Pittsburgh Pi
rates 3-0. Feller gave only three
hits and one walk and fanned three
in six scoreless innings.

tourney, 3-6, 6-4, 9-7.
Sellars terrific serve rained ha
voc to the Mustangs on the hard
wood floor of the DeWare Field

games in the first two sets kept
the Aggies in the doubles match

his game and pulled the team to
victory with magnificent shots.
This doubles match broke the
tie in the tourney.

Robinson Will
Remain in Pro
Baseball Now
VERO BEACH. Fla. - <*> —
Jackie Robinson ha* changed his
mind about retiring and intends to
play baseball as long as he can
remain in the major leagues.
Two years ago, after he had
successfully completed hje, first
year in the majors, the star Negro
second baseman of the Brooklyn
Dodgers confided to intimate
friends- that he would play three
more years and call it a career.
At the time, Robinson was a
disgruntled ball player. He had
taken a lot of abuse because of
his color and it hurt deeply. He
didn’t whimper, although the ac
cumulation of insult and ridicule
would have made most white play
ers, in the same situation, say:
It's not worth it.”
Robby took it all without a mur-
