Braves Score | Third In Row Over Dodgers Ry International New* Service Young Gene Conley is a six-foot eight "longfellow” who can h. it. write pennant poetry tor the Milwaukee Brkves. He beats the Brooklyn Dodgers. The 24-year-old righthander is a* much a nemesis to the Bums as the (Hants' Sal Maglie. Last sea- ; son Conley defeated the Brooks five times and he has served notice he is ready and willing to carry on In 1956 with the season Just a week away. Elongated Gene pitched eight innings Sunday as the Braves topped Brooklyn, S to 1. in Chattanooga. Tenn. It was Milwaukee’s third straight win over the Dodgers. X. 2 X-ii Conley struck out eight, walked two and gave up one run in his fine performance. He has allowed the Bums two runs and seven hits in 15 innings this spring. A bright feature for the Dodgers was the effort of Joe Black, who is seeking to regain his former bull pen prominence. Black allowed three hits in a five-inning Mint and left the game with the score tied at l-all. Bill Bruton accounted for three of Milwaukee’s eight hits, including a home run.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR. INDIANA

Cardinals May Be Surprise Os National Loop By HOWARD SIGMAND (I. N. 8. Sports Writer) ST. LOUIS CARDINALS If the Cardinals get some pitching, the folks in st. Louis will have good reason to stop crying into their beer. The Redbirds seemingly have everything but the right pitch to make sweet pennant music for manager Ed Stanky. It looks like a tremendous haul from sixth spot to first, but little Muggsy believes his Redbirds can make it with some top-drawer front line burling and a strong bullpen. Certainly, the Cardinals figure to play a prominent part in the National League race, in any case. You can’t sell a team short'that has Stan Musial (hit ting ),8 tan Musial (defense). Stan Musial (reserves), Stan Musial (youth), Stan Musial (speed) and Red Schoen- - dienst. But the club finished low last season despite its blessings because It lost close to 30 games after the seventh inning. It had no bullpen to speak of. The actpiisition of relief specialist Frank {Smith from Cincinnati for Gerry Staley and Ray Jablonski may prove the difference, or at least part of it. Here's a rundown of the roster: Catching — Bill Sarni and Del Rice are both capable receivers. Sarni hits more and Rice is outstanding on defense. Pitching — The big headache. No. 1 man is lefty Harvey Haddix. Stanky will bank on Brooks Lawrence, Gordon Jones. Tom Poholsky and Smith, in addition to some of his bright rookie prospects. Ailing vet Vic Raschi is a question mark. Infield — First rate. Musial is supposed to start the season at first base. This gives the bench to 6-5 Tom Alston. With Schoendienst on second. Alex Grammas at short and highly-touted rookie Ken Boyer on third. The Cards boast a strong inner defense. Solly Hemus and Dick Schoefieid make for fine utility men. Outfield — Looks good, with or without the man’s presence. It has youth, speed, and some talented bats. Stanky says he'll start with a trio of 'Rip Repulski. Bill Virdon (International League batting champ last season) and Wally (rookie of the year) Moon, top reserves include Harry Elliott, a .350 batsman with San Diego in 1954, and Joe Frazier, a pinch, hitting star for the Cards last season. Consensus: The team should be more of a threat than ever and if it gets ( that pitching watch the Redbirds soar. WASHINGTON SENATORS Mr. Qressen went to Washington. But will the Senators go anywhere with Jolly Cholly Dressen this season? Dressen's managerial return to the majors isn’t likely to occasion any earth-shaking change in the fortunes of the Nats, sixth placers in the American League last season. The club has too many “not enoughs” and bears too strong a resemblance to the one Bucky Harris had in 1954. The Senators have enough talent to be pesky. But they appear to be strictly second division again. Here's a position -by • position rundown: Catching — Not overpowering with Ed Fitzgerald as the No. 1 man and Brue Edwards trying a major league comeback. Pitching — Bob Porterfield tops the staff that lacks consistency and a solid bull pen crew. Dean Stone, Maurice McDermott and Frank Shea are among the Porterfield's chief aids. Infield — First and third capably policed by vets Mickey Vernon and Ed Yost, respectively. Dressen has placed rookie Bobbie Kline on short and moved Pete 'Runnels on second. Not enough hitting. Outfield — Not enough power in the trio of Jim Busby, Roy Sievers and JWm Umphlett. Rookie Ernie Oravetz has been praised by the manager in the exhibitions. Consensus: A second division team. Not likely to improve upon its finish of last season. Detroit Red Wings Win Hockey Opener DETROIT (INS) — Detroit’s red hot Red Wings.are one game up on Montreal today in the Stanley Cup hockey playoffs. The Red Wings scored three goals in the last seven minutes Sunday night to beat the Canadians, 4 to 2, for their 14th straight victory, equalling the National Hockey League record for consecutive victories set by the Boston Bruins in 1929-30. .IL — ■ ■

Wes Santee Breaks Own Mile Record AUSTIN. Tex. (INS) — Wes Santee's oid Kansas university coach. Bill Easton, believes Santee’s 4:00.5 mile Saturday at the Texas relays is a sure indication that his long-legged protege will ehter the select four-minute mile circle very soon. Easton was enthusiastic regarding Wes' showing — the fastest mile every run by an American and one tenth of a second better than Santee's own 4:00.6 mark set last June at Compton, Calif. The Kansas coach said: "if Wes got that close the first time he tried outdoors this season, he can't miss.'* The track was fast at Austin during the running of the Thompson mile but a slight wind might have handicapped Santee just enough to prevent him from chopping off the half second which stood between him and the fourminute* barrier. Only two other runners — Dr. Roger Bannister of England and John Landy of Australia — ever have run the mile in four minutes, or less. Landy set the record at 3:58 at Turku. Finland. June ‘2l, 1954. As usual In Santee's best races. Art Dalzell. his old Kansas teammate. served as Wes’ pacemaker in the Thompson mile, Louise Suggs Wins Oklahoma Tourney OKLAHOMA CITY (INS) — Louise Suggs of Sea Island, Ga.. moved Into the money-winning lead on the ladies professional golfers association tour today-by virtue of her victory in the Oklahoma City women’s open tournament.
