Crimian and Tom LaSorda and last year’s bullpen star Tom Gorman. ft’s not an outstanding staff. Infield —Pretty good. Vic Power is a fine all-around first baseman and Jim Finigan and Spook Jacobs both capable at second. Rookie Rance Pless apparently has won third base job. with holdover Joe De Maestri at short Hector Lopes, talented infielder, has been trying bls band in center field. Outfield — Uncertain. Gus Zer nlal, Harty Simpson, Elmer Vaio, Enos Slaughter all available, lZ Consensus: Sixth at best. CHICAGO CUBS Chicago’s Cub may kick up a storm this season, but they aren't likely to get out of the National League’s second division. J The Brains claim o have added strength during the winter, but they still lack pitching depth, are ibewk behind the plate and have an unsettled outfield. Let’s look at the roster rundown: Catching — Harry Chiti, Hobie Landrtth and Clyde McCullough aren’t big hitters. Pitching — Manager Stan Hack will rely on Bob Rush, Warren Hacker, Paul Minner, Sam Jones and ex-Dodger Russ meyer as hie first five. Without Meyer, the I other four compiled a 53-57 record last season. Infield—Ernie Banks and Gene | Baker are a formidable keystone ! combination. Ex-Dodger Don Hoak at third and Dee Fondy at first give Cubs a substantial Infield. n* Outfield — Power - shy outfield may be helped by addition of Monte Irvin and Walt Moryn. Consensus: Sixth or seventh. ARAB LEAGUE (Continued from Page Ona) id Weeks. The area was understood to be off limits because new Russian military equipment has bedn concentrated on Egypt on the frontier bordering Israel. The last newsman who visited the area was mistaken for a UN ruce observer and was met by scowling mobs who shook fists and yelled, “You’ve failed us you dogs.”

Sub Leads Yankees | To Win Over Phils By International News Service If It’s tough to be a New York Yankee, pity the poor Yankee manager who bus to choose his team from a gold mine of talent where everything glitters. Casey Stengel agrees it’s fine to have such tried and true stars as Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Billy Martin and so on to depend on, but it sure gives a man ulcers looking at an overflow bench of potential stars and not enough positions to go around. Take the case of second sacker Bobby Rlchardsoh. understudy to Martin. Casey replaced Martin with Richardson in the sixth inning of Friday’s Yankee win over Philadelphia. And It turned out to be a Yankee win only because of the Youngster. (Richardson tripled and singled to drive home four New York runs, which gave the Yanks the win 7 to 4. Stengel couldn’t ask for more, yet Richardson’s performance made little or no dent in Martin’s mortgage on second base. It merely gave evidence the youngster could probably haul down a starting assignment on any other club in the major leagues, and added to Stengel's tantalising, yet agonising problem of being too rich. While Casey suffered in silence, the New York Giants snapped a two-day scoring drought with a 13to 6 win over the Cleveland Indians. Southpaw ace Johnny Antonelli limited the American Leaguers to one run and six hits until he retired in the eighth after yielding two more Indian runs. Hoyt Wilhelm finished the affair for Antonelli, giving up three tallies in the ninth. The Chicago CUbs outshowered Baltimore 15 to 11 in another high scoring affair at San Antonio, while Boston kept the score keeper busy at Jacksonville with a 19 to 4 win over Jacksonville of the Sally League. Rookies Don Buddin. George Susce and Dick Gernert all hit home- runs for the Red Sox. Washington and Pittsburgh both came up with one run victories. The Senators edged Cincinnati 4 to 3 at Florence, S. C.. while the Pirates topped Kansas City 9 to 8 at Austin, Tex. St. Louis and the Chicago White Sox were rained out at Knoxville and Milwaukee and Brooklyn were forced to postpone because of wet grounds at Chattanooga.

Chamberlain May Be Done As Amateur NEW YORK (INS) — Wilt (the Stilt) Chamberlain. seven-foot freshman phenomenon of the University of Kansas, may be through as an amateur basketball pUyer for playing under an assumed name against professionals in 1962. J. Suter Kegg, sports editor of the Cumberland (Md.) Evening Times, told International News Service Friday night that Chamberlain played under the name es George Marcus in Cumberland and scored 44 points for the “Pittsburgh Raiders” In a game with the Cumberland Old Germans. Amateur athletic union rules Interpret playing under an assumed name as fraud, with the penalty of permanent disbarment. Playing with professionals makes a player ineligible for further amateur competition but such an offender may be reinstated. Kegg said that he had already received a letter from CoL Harry D. Henahel, head of the Olympic basketball committee, soliciting all possible information on the report which Kegg brought to light in a column. Henshel, who has filed a 336,000 slander suit against Kansas coach Dr. Forest C. (Phog) Allen, also asked for the name and address of a Philadelphia booking agency which sent Chamberlain and the Raiders to Cumberland while he was still playing for Overbrook high school in Philadelphia. Kegg said the AAU official wrote him on private stationery, begging his cooperation "tn the cause of true amateurism.” “Chamberlain was 16 years old when he played here—too young, probably, to know what he was doing wrong,” said Kegg. “I doubt whether he got more than ten or fifteen dollars for the night.” l Chamberlain also reportedly played for Quakertown in the semi-pro Big Nine conference in eastern Pennsylvania while a senior in high school. A special clause permitted him to play as an amateur, receiving no cash, and he was listed on the roster under his own name. Wilt, who was sought by 66 colleges and universities, may be forced to junk all hopes of becoming a collegiate All-American abd possible AAU selection to the 1966 Olympics. .. - - , X Venturi Boosts Lead In Masters AUGUSTA, Oa. (INS) — The Masters tournament turns into the home stretch today with young Ken Vqntus firmly ip command, and expecting to hang onto his new position. > The 24-year-old salesman and army veteran, with cards of 66-69-135, holds a four-stroke advantage over defending champion Dr. Cary He picked up the margin with a seemingly magic touch while the oldest and toughest competitors in the business bogied about the Augusta National course like ‘weekend duffers. '— If anyone could stop Venturi’s headlong, hot-rod race for the coveted Masters crown — heretofore exclusive property of a small, staunch “old guard” of seasoned professionals — it might be Middlecoff. Then lanky non-practic-ing dentist had 67-72 for the route, shy by two strokes of his own mark hereabout last year, when he won» the four-day grind with 279.Beyond Middlecoff, the cause of the professionals seemed pretty dreary indeed. Tommy Bolt and Shelly Mayfield had 142. ThMr 68-74’s gave the confident San Francisco amateur seven strokes to play with. Identical 72-70 cards put Pete Cooper and Doug Ford also at 142, with Jack Burke and Jerry Barber at 143. Bob Rosburg was tied with Fred Hawkins at 144, which Is par for 36 holes. But the sensational rise to the heights of the younger element in ♦he Masters tournament, and the early-round decline of the real veterans, was emphasised in Venturi’s 12-stroke lead over Ben Hogan. Hoosier’s golfers changed roles as Dale Morey turned in an acceptable 75 while Joe Campbell, the NCAA champ from Purdue, soared to 80. Campbell now has a 36-hole score of 157 and Morey. IM.
