Lopez says hes impressed with the play of J.C. Martin of Martinsville. Last year Martin, a former star at Drewry-Mason High School, batted .335 with Duluth-Superior and was named the All-Star first baseman of the league. Martin may get a crack at the third base job also because of his speed and good fast hands. His father is a patrolman with the Martinsville Police Dept. Chicago is counting on big Jim Rivera also. In all probability the starting ctacher will be the veteran Sherm Lollar. Taking over at one infield post will be Luis Aparicio. Chicago may be a contender for the pennant with a good pitching staff. The White Sox think Early Wynn could have a big year. Lefthander Billy Pierce has been impressive in early workouts and isgunning for a 20-game year. Tall Dick Donovan also will be back to try his hand at ending the Yankee domination of the league. At Lakeland, Florida---- Theres that usual spring confidence at the Detroit Tiger training camp. (ROLL FILM) The Tigers feel theyve strengthened the club by several winter trades. (SHOW FILM) Fighting for the first basemans post is Gail Harris, who has looked real good in the early workouts.

He batted .313 last year. Detroit is counting on Frank Bolling for an infield post. And, of course the mainstay of the pitching staff is expected to be lefthander Billy Heft.

He broke the world decathlon record and also beat Russias Vasily Kuznetsov in the big track meet between the United States and the Soviet Union. (roll film) Johnson will be awarded a trophy in Los Angeles on January 7th, (show film) This slightly stooped man with a magnificent torso and oddly thin calves is regarded by many as the finest all-around athlete in history. In Moscow last summer, he whipped the Russian decathlon holder, blasting through the murderous ten-event schedule on a bad leg and putting a new world record on the score board in the process. For these and other reasons, Sports Illustrated has honored Johnson and awarded him a Grecian Urn trophy, symbolic of his athletic supremacy.
Here are some of the events of the decathlon ... those not shown are the hundred meter dash, broad and high jump, four hundred and fifteen hundred meter run and pole vault. One veteran coach said that the key problem is to be fierce ten times.
Yet on the campus of the University of California at Los Angeles, Rafer is anything but fierce. Rather, as Sports Illustrated says, quote he is that very rare concentrate of some old Sunday school virtues: tolerance, humility, and Godliness end quote. One of the best-liked men at the college, he was elected president of the twelve-thousand man student body before athletic glamor surrounded him.
His average day is filled with feverish activity: trying to keep up with his studies, playing on the basketball team, filling engagements as after-dinner speaker and presiding over student council meetings.
He juggles many mattersm great and small, hoping nothing important will fall to the floor. As a pre-dental student, he gets experience in what may be his career......hes also indicated interest in the field of foreign relations. Not only victory in Russia, but also the impact of the man himself has made Rafer Lewis Johnson one of the worthiest sportsmen of them all.President Eisenhower throws out first ball of the American League baseball seasonnutty.archives2016-11-04 | President Eisenhower, in company with vice-president Richard Nixon, helped open the American League baseball season in Washington yesterday.

Washington had a big day, beating Boston 10-1 and for one day at least the Senators were leading the American League. Ike and Nixon played the role of typical baseball fan to perfection.1960 John Thomas of Boston College tops his own world record by a quarter of an inchnutty.archives2016-11-04 | 02/01/60 Story No. NY-8 TELE NEWS DAILY NEWS FILM Vol. 13, Issue #26 RELEASE: Immediate Feb. 1, 1960 Film Title: SPORTS WORLD Story: NEW HIGH JUMP AND HURDLE RECORDS SET IN MILLROSE GAMES Footage: 32 Time: 54sec.

(SHOW FILM) Hemus, now in his second year as manager of the Cardinals, must finish higher than 7th, as they did last year or he may be in trouble. A bright spot is Stan Musial. The 40-year old slugger in 1959 had his poorest major league year when he batted only .255, nearly 100 points below his lifetime average. He hit only 14 homers last year and Musial says he is determined to come through with a banner year, perhaps his last. He has been the National Leagues Most Valuable Player three times and has played in 16 All-Star games. Musial believes St. Louis will be in the thick of the race. The Cards should be helped by Bill White, who hit .302 last year. A rookie---Charlie James is getting a long look..... Hemus says rookie pitcher Mel Nelson is a good prospect and could stick with the team. Joe Cunningham hit .345 last year and the Cards hope he can do as good this year..... Two of the best young Cardinal pitchers are Bobby Gibson and Bob Miller. They can throw hard and have the stuff. Lindy McDaniel, the 50-thousand dollar bonus baby won 14 and lost 12 last year as a relief pitcher. The Cardinals are also hot on 24-year old Bob Duliba. As a relief pitcher last year he compiled an Earned Run Average of 2.74.
