St. Petersburg, Fla., March 16—(UP)—Spurgeon (Spud) Chandler, one-time ace of the New York Yankee mound staff, will make his first appearance of the exhibition season today against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Two home runs by Johnny Lindell and another by Joe Collins led the Yanks to a 10 to 5 win yesterday over the Philadelphia Phils at Clearwater with Red Embree the winning pitcher and Oscar Judd the loser. Al Flair hit his third homer of the spring for the Phils.
Cludad Truijillo, D.R. — Jackie Robinson, who was 17 pounds overweight when he reported to the Brooklyn Dodgers' training camp, said today that he had trimmed off 12 pounds of the excess fat.
Robinson, who said he now weighs 203 pounds, worked out yesterday at second base instead of first but manager Leo Durocher insisted that the move would not be interpreted to mean that Robinson would play second this year. Durocher said the workout was "just to speed Jackie's conditioning."
Bradenton, Fla.,—Coach Freddy Fitzsimmons today took temporary charge of the Boston Braves' squad as manager Billy Southworth was confined to bed with a heavy cold and fever.
The Braves defeated Cincinnati yesterday, 4 to 3, as Bobby Sturgeon starred by driving in two runs and figuring in three double plays.

Billikens Move Into Finals With 'Unshrinking' Violets
New York, March 16.—(UP)—St. Louis university and New York university will meet Wednesday night for the National Invitational basketball tournament title in Madison Square Garden.
Despite the fact that the classy Billikins were seeded only fourth before the meet, they recovered from a slow start to sink top-seeded Western Kentucky, 60 to 53, last night. The in-and-out Violet's upended a tough

OUK FOR BASKETBALL
Thus the impending clash between theh home town favorites and the most popular outof-town club that has visited the Garden all season shaped up today as a real "natural." An added incentive is the coveted berth in the U.S. Olympic trails that automatically will go to the winning team. Billikens Start Slow
St. Louis, trailing 20 to 10 midway in the first half, finally got its slick-fast breaking attack into motion and pulled up to a 25 to 25 deadlock at half time. The Billikens then matched baskets with the taller Kentuckians through the early stages of the second half, then ran the hilltoppers off the boards with a great closing surge.
N. Y.U.'s triumph was an inspired performance reminiscent of the impressive string of 19 straight which they had rung up earlier in the season before being upset by Notre Dame.
WE FIT GLASSES and DUPLICATE BROKEN LENSES
"Easy Ed" MacAuley, the Billikens' sleight-of-hand center, led the St. Louis attack with 19 points on seven field goals and five free throws. But he was forced to share the hero's honors with substitute Lou Lehman, who chipped in with six baskets in the final 20 minutes, and Marvin Schatzmann who hit for 10 points. The victory was the Billikens' 23rd against three setbacks.
Lanky Don Ray, with 15 points, and Odis (Sleepy) Spears, who hit for 12, did their best in the Hiltoppers' losing cause. Western Kentucky, with a record of 27 victories and two defeats, will meet DePaul in a consolation game tomorrow.
NYU Is Impressive

Kramer's Drives Too Much For Riggs
Oklahoma City, March 16—(UP)—Hard-pressing Jack Kramer held a 32-16 match advantage over Bobby Riggs today as they took their coast-to-coast tennis tour to Little Rock, Ark.
A crowd of 1,700 applauded and Riggs shook his head last night at a 6-3, 6-3 demonstration of Kramer's speed and brilliance at the Municipal auditorium here.
For Riggs it was almost a comeback—from the double love-set cleaning he took at Fort Worth Sunday night. And he did what he hadn't been able to do in about 10
matches when he brake Kramer's serve in the second set. But last year's amateur king responded by breaking Riggs twice.
