'Eltmination Tourney Plans Announced with "peace of mind and relaxed By JOHV W. FOX Birtghamton Prest Sporti Editor Oranseburr, S. C.

Sports writers covering the current Triplets know now how it feels to be the poor blighter whom friends never know what to give at Christmas time 'because he already has everything." The April 14 cutdown to virtually the May 24 player limit left it impossible for writers to skulk about making spy reports on who's to be cut. And Freddy Fitzsimmons frankness about his plans leave little to be chronicled between now and the opener, barring the arrival of a pheenom from heaven. Fitz gives you neither the Stengel double-talk nor the ifyclaus-es-within-if-clauses issued a year go by hesitant George Stirn-weiss. With his Tuesday opener against Syracuse at Johnson Field six days and 840 miles away, tradition could have protected Fitz at least another 72 hours before making any commitments. LOSE TO QUINCY But Fitz was willing to lay bare his plans, even in he exasperating wake of having blown a 4-0 lead to a Class club to suffer a 6-4 defeat, which Is what happened yesterday against, Quincy at Sumter.

"The way it looks now," offered Fred, "it'll be (Pat) Foley pitching the opener." No one had asked. Foley is pitching in the exhibition finale today against the same Quincys, here at Orangeburg, as are Ed Dick and Bob Bonebrake. "I've considered Dick, too, and (Ozzic) Grasso, (Bill) Banker and (Jerry) Buchanan," he said, "but It looks like Foley. He's the fellow who's been the most favorable suprise to me." "Suppose Syracuse is loaded with left-hand batters: then it might be Dick instead?" said a reporter, trying to offer Fitz room for an "if" or two. "Well, maybe," he said.

"But if they've got lefthanders on night, they've got, 'em the second night, too, so he'll get his crack at 'em eventually. It works out the same. I haven't any other left-handers to throw at And he's so young I'd rather hold him back a day." With 11 pitchers, all big and strong, no manager can determine his rotation for a bit, but Filz is willing to venture a guess. "Foley, Dick, Monroe, Banker and Grasso. he reeled off.

"I'd say I'll go with them as a starter. It depends on who pans out." That leaves reformed wildman Buchanan outside the starting wheel. "He could have been my opening-night man," says Fitz, "but you try to build confidence in a fellow like that. Let him get used to pitching from that mound, use him in batting practice, get his bearings." Therefore he has Buchanan in a second list along with youngsters Jim Dunn and Jim Bron-stad. They're there to grab for because he followed his usual custom of reading the Bible for an hour before the bell.

similar fashion, driving right and left hooks over Boyd's guard to Coach Dick Baldwin was hap' weight champion Rocky Marciano will retire, boxing promoter Jim Norris worked on plans today for a 5-man challengers' "elimination tournament." The International Boxing Club president pointed out that the tourney opens at Miami, May 9, with Johnny Holman of Chicago meeting Bob Baker of Pittsburgh in a 12-rounder. Norris listed the other three tourney fighters as Floyd PaHerson of Brooklyn, Tommy (Hurricane) Jackson of SSI pile up points. But he tired after py with his club's start, partly because of pitchers Daszewski the fifth round and went to the canvas in the sixth when Boyd landed a right-left combination and Ernie Whittle, and even more because of his infield, Bcltcncourt To Miss Vestal Home Opener Jim Bettencourt, veteran Vestal infielder, will miss the Bears' which handled nine assists with His second, Jimmy Dudley, and manager Nick Trotta complained that "he was ducking away and out an error. slipped when he was shoved by Third-sacker Dick Masaryk, an a punch. ex-outfielder, fielded four-for- opening Southern Tier Confer -i 1 Referee Bernard Weissman scored the bout 97-92 and judge ience game of the season tomor- iuul Llcaw.
