Anglers Are
Cautioned On
License Rules
Austin, Tex., March 25. — Leav-
ing for an overnight fishing trip,
the director of Law Enforcement
for the Game, At Fish Commission
u himjsolf 1 u r V- opa wt lv».
hind a memo on fishing license re-
el uLremea its under present TV,xas
laws.
He said warden reports received
since the warm temjieratures and
"fish di-Uin’ weather" indicated that
some of his fellow anglers appar
ently are not familiar with the
assorted state fishing laws.
The, director emphasized tha.t the
greatest problem for the individual
fishermaai seemed to be, about when
a fishing license is required and
tliat the second problem seemed to
concern the 7-inch minimum length
for black blass which is the state’s
most popular game fish.
“Most of the approximately 600
state fishing laws concern looal
gear and methods of taking fish
in the different counties,” he nbted.
“but the main statue to remember
affects license requirements for
public fresh water sjxirts fishing
“The law states that anybody un-
der 19 years-of-age may fish with-
out a license. The law states that
any resident of this state may fish
without a license in the county of
residence, providing artificial lures
are not used. In other words—if a
resident of Texas fishes in his or
her home county with an artificial
lure, the $1.65 license is required.
‘‘The law also states that any
resident of this state can fish with-
out a license in any county ad-
joining the county of his residence
provided artificial lures or live bait
are not used. Live bait under the
law is defined as minnows or fish.’
The director suggested the safest
way for anglers to consult a copy
of the digest of .game and fish
laws.or see their local game ward-
en, or do both.
He reminded Texans that no salt
water fishing license is required.

The Sports
Roundup
Baseball
Tlie injury jinx nas hit veteran
outfielder Sid Gordon for the
second straight spring.
Gordon has a pulled muscle in
his left leg and may be out of the
Pittsburg lineup for the opening
game against Brooklyn. The 36-
()](J diinuibr «nfthn ininnt
on Monday when he slipped on the
soft outfield sod at Tampa. The
leg failed to come around and X-
rays showed the pulled muscle. Dr.
Joseph Finegold has told Gordon
to rest the leg 10 days or two weeks.
Gordon pulley a muscle in his right
leg liust spring and missed 25 games.
The American League batting
champion arrived at the Cleveland
camp in Tuscon, Arizona and was
told to prepare for some quick
work. Manager A1 Lopez took one
look at Bobby Avila and said, "He
seems to be in shape and I expect
to play him against the San Fran-
cisco Seals over the weekend."
Avila signed recently after hold-
ing out lor 32-thousand dollars.
The slender second baseman agreed
to 27 -thousand-500 but says he
can earn his original demand if
Cleveland draws well at the gate.
Lopez also has to say about those
who predict the American League
will be another three team circuit.
Lopez says it won’t be a repeat of
Cleveland New York and Chicago
being powerhouses with the others
along just for the ride. Lopez, ex-
plains, “most of the teams last year
were hurt by injuries, Boston
played much of the time without
Mel Parnell and Ted Will nuns,
Philadelphia without Bobby Shantz
and Gus Zernial.”
The Cleveland manager adds,
the Yankees could be tougher
with their pitching. As for Chicago,
well, tlie Wliite Sox make so many
trades I’ve given up trying to big-
ure whether they have improved
or not.”
Boxing
Third-ranked heavyweight Bob
Baker is a solid (one-three) favor-
ite to make it nine straight tonight.
The hard hitter from Pittsburg
will meet 21-year-old Julio Mederos
at Madison Square Gerden in New
York. Baker hasn’t lost since last
March and that one was a 11011-
title go with light heavyweight
champion Archie Moore. Mederos
earned today’s bout by stopping
Doland La Starza March 2nd.
Middleweight Willie Pastrano
says he wants to take it slow and
easy despite an impressive win
over A1 Andrews recently at Chi-
cago.
The 19-year-old from New Or-
leans says, "I’m not ready for a
shot at middleweight champ Bo
Bo Olson. I'll need 10 or 15 more
fights, and by that time 111 be a
light heavyweight."
Los Angeles (UP).—Tombstone
Smith, 155-pou'nd Waco, Texas
fighter was awarded a sixth round
technical knockout over Johnny
Houston, 15. of Oaklnd, California,
in an eight-round main event at
Los Angeles last night before one-
thousand spectators.
Referee Jimmy Wilson stopped
the bout when Houston, after a
nst start, faded and appeared un-
able to defend himself as Smith
belted him almost at will. There
were no knockdowns.

Odessa, Texas (UP).—The West
Texas relays start today with
Southwest Conference Baseball
The preliminary skirmishing is
over and the Southwest Conference
baseball championship race opens
today w ith all six competing I has swept to the Border Olympic
schools matched in opening two- and Southwest Recreation crowns
game series. Texas Christian is the the past two weekends.
Abilene's star-studded squad favor-
ed to start Die record rewriting
job in the schoolboy division pre-
liminaries.
The relays won’t swing Into high
gear, however, until tomorrow.
Then for the three-division finals
and probably more records.
Amarillo, Andrews, Fort Stockton,
Midland and Lubbock stand out as
chief contenders for Abilene, which
favorite.
The Horned Frogs boast five
in (.ovon wturtc nppn
at home with perennial champion
Texas as the opposition. Texas has
broken even in four games against
out-of-state competition.
Defending champion Southern
Methodist has only a 3-aind-4 re-
cord. It opens at home against
dangerous JBaQlbr (4-4), while
Tex.is A&M, the team with the
best record (6-1) goes against Rice
(2-3) at Houston in the other
games.
The same clubs play at the same

Top interest tomorrow will be
centered around the 440-yard and
nhle relays where a fast track may
provide a possible world record
in the sprint relay by either Hous-
ton or Texas Teams.
Baylor also figured to be a pos-
sible contender in the shorter event,
while Southern1 Methodist rates the
top nod in the mily relay. Texas
Christian and Texas Tech are the
other university entries in that
division.
In the college class, North Texas
State’s powerful squad is the prime
favorite to unseat defending champ-
ion Abilf nc Christian.
Sizing Up The
MAJORS
By DEAN MILLER
United Press Sports Writer
Tampa* Fla,, March 25 (UP).—
Manager Marty Marion is on the
spot as field boss of the Chicago
White Sox tills year. And Marty has
put himself on a bigger spot by
predicting his White Sox will win
the pennant.
Chicago had good pitching -good
catching and a good outfield. But
Inc itificiu io strictly qucotlcMi
mark ... and the club has no punch.
In the matter or front-line
strength, the White Sox didn’t help
themselves over the winter. Some
exiierts a-lso figure, the White Sox
will be hurting because Paul Rich-
ards won't be around to call the
managerial shots. These experts re-
Some African porters, for in-
stance are able to carry a head load
of 60 pounds wrhlle making 15 miles
a day.
kpect Marlon aa a man but say he
dnesnt have managerial tempera-
ment—nor does he command the re-
spect of players as Richards did.
Marion hasn’t commented direct-
ly when asked about that. But his
actions apeak loudly. Marty Marion
the easy-going guy, has become
Manager Marty Marion — tough—
quick-acting boss.
On the second day in camp, Ma-
rion «<told Right-fielder Jhn Rivera
to take off nine pounds or prepare
to ride the bench.
Six days later, Marty cracked
down on Shortstop Chico Csrra-
SOUPl who failed to up for ft"
afternoon workout and was fined
5100.
As a result, the White Sox have
been hustling. Except for Third
Baseman George Kell whose knee is
coming around slowly and Pitcher
Ted Gray who 1s nursing a sore
back muscle, the White Sox are
ready for battle.
Big Walt Dropo, who came from
Detroit in tlie Fenisi Fain deal, still
isn’t hitting. Behind Dropo at first,
the Chi-Sox will have, the veteran
PbQ Qavaretta and Rookie Ron
Jackson who must stay because he's
s bonus boy.
At second, there's Nelson Fox, a
fine competitor and pesty hitter
but weak on the double-play.
Carrasquel is a short, and Kell,
back and sore knee permitting, will
play third. Kell didn’t play In his
first exhibition game until March
16. BUI Serena the ex-Cub, will be
around to spell Kell If necessary.
Jim Brideweser can fill In at short
and second.
Catching is set with Sherm Lollar
who has a good arm and a .244
bat, and Clint Courtney in reserve.
The White Sox outfield is solid.
Johnny Groth, fast and a .275 hit-
ter, is in center. Minnie Minooo,
the heart of the Chicago team with
hi* all-around talent and a .320 bat
Is in left. And Rivera, a .206 hitter
and good competitor, is in right.
Bob Nieman, a good hitter but poor
fielder, and Lloyd Merriman, poor
hitter but good fielder, and the
veteran Willard Marshall will be
around to fill In.
Pitching should be Chicago’s
■strong point. Billy Pierce, tfef
classy fettle lefty who won only fe
lest year before having Infected
wisdom teeth removed seems to Jk
okay. Another lefty, Jack Karsham,
figures to be ready. Virgil TruokS,
a 19-game winner last year, has
worked himself In to shape — and
Bob Keegan, a 16-game winner, his
his usual spring sore arm but i*
ooming around.
Among the’ newcomers, Right
Hander Bill Fischer, a 14 - game
winner at Memphis looked good un-
til he had to make a hurry-up trip
home because of an ailing wife.
Three young, righthander*. Gutmie
Johnson, Dick Donovan and Mike
Fomielea — have been impressive.
Donovan, an 18-game winner at
Atlai|a, is big and fast and has
added a couple changes of speed.
Hairy Dori&h, Bob Ohakales,
Morrie Martin and possibly A1
Brazile—the former Cardinal, will
be around far spot and rejief work.
Summing up, the White Sox could
be dangerous—with a better Infield
and more punch. But there’s little
likelihood they’ll get either.
