Casey Stengel Admits Yanks $ •* | Really Loaded ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., (UP) —Even Casey Stengel admits the Yankees “are really loaded” this year. Stengel, shooting for his eighth , pennant in nine years as skipper of the Yankees, points out that “I have guys who can play four positions. My problem is not whom to play, but to remember the names of all my guys so I can tell the right ones to go in there.” < Stengel, however, doesn’t believe it will be a “walkaway.” . “Not so long as you have clubs like the Tigers, White Sox, Red Sox and Indians in the same league,” he said. "But I must be honest and say I’m very optimistic.” He started running down his pitching staff, leading off with southpaw Whitey Ford (19-6). Then in order he mentioned Don (Perfect Game) Larsen (11-5), Bob Turley (8-4), Tom Sturdivant (16-B>, Bob Grim'(6-1), and Johnny Kucks (18-9). Add Two More Add to them the two hurlers the Yankees obtained from the Athletics, Art Ditmar (12-22) and Bobby Shantz (2-7), and Stengel \ asks: “Who figures to have better pitching?” The answer is, no one., Mickey Mantle, the triple crown champion—having won the American League hitting title with an average of .353, the runs batted in crown with 130 and the home run title with 52—will anchor the outfield in center with Hank Bauer in right. That leaves left field open and right now it looks like one of the Yankees prize rookies, Tony Kubek, will win the job. Skowron At First Stengel was prevented from giving Bill Skowron, the hard-hitting first baseman, a thorough workout at third when Skowron fractured his thumb, so he probably will start the season at first base. McDougald is sure of the shortstop job and Stengel considers him the best in the league. ‘ He won t hit with that guy in Detroit (Harvey Kuenni or field with that fella in Chicago (Luis Aparicio), but overall in both departments Tie cloes-'k' better'jib.” Stengel claims. Pepper-pot Billy Martin will be either at second or third base. However, Andy Carey, who has been the regular at third, has been hitting hard this spring and could keep the job. In the catching department, brilliant Yogi Berra will be supported by Elston Howard and Darrell Johnson.

Patterson Manager Seeks Fighl Bids NEW YORK, (UP) — Cus ■ D’Amato, manager of heavy weight champion Floyd Patterson, invited “open bidding” among promoters today for a June title fight. ” 1 He extended the invitation, he » claimed, because he is “very ; cool” toward the International Boxing Club, “Which broke its i word with me about using my prer liminary boxers.” I D'Amato said he was not ex- - eluding Promoter Jim Norris and l his IBC from the bidding, “But » before they can do any business i with us, they have a big re-sell- ’ ing job to do.” D’Amato said he preferred a big outdoor fight in a major city, s “without television of any kind,” i and with Tommy (Hurricane) » Jackson as challenger. » He claimed that his 'dispute” - with the IBC had no connection whatever with the recent federal- > court verdict finding the Norris i organization guilty of monopoly in . its promotion of world title fights, i “Patterson and I are completely , independent,” he claimed. “We t have no contracts or understand- - ings with Norris or any other promoter. We’re out to make the most money we can with any re- > liable promoter—anywhere,” he > said. 1 Patterson, 22, is now doing pre--1 liminary training at Greenwood - Lake, N.Y., for his first defense of the title he won last Nov. 30 by knocking out Archie Moore in i an elimination final at Chicago. * Today's Sport Parade 1 Reg. U.S. Pat. Off. By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer 1 NEW YORK (UP)—AU the ham : ain’t in Hollywood so we’U beat ’ the Motion Picture Academy to the punch today with Fearless Fraley's sporting “Oscars." There are more categories than ’ Kansas City pitchers in a doublei header so, without further fritter- • ing, let’s get with it. To whit: 1 Best actor: Don Larsen in “From Rags to Pitches.” Best actress: Olga Fikotova in 1 “I’ll take the hammer thrower and you can have the sickle.” } Best picture: “Go west, young ! man,” featuring the Canarsig 8 Codgers. ? .... Best supporting actor: Yogi Berra in i ‘ i Whatsamatter, Ya Losin’ Yer Control?” ! Best supporting actress: Hilda ‘ Chester in “From Here to mfirm- ’ ary.” Best Direction: "West. 1 Best story and screen play: North Carolina’s NCAA champs ’ in “How to Wilt the Stilt." Best documentary feature: U.S. Supreme Court sports findings, whereas, ipso facto, habeas corpus, dog my cats and baseball is still a "sport.” Best costume design: The cool, calm preliminary fighter who forgot his trunks. Best set direction: Gussie Moran. Best special effects: Floyd Patterson’s left jab. Best score of a musical picture: Cincinnati 19. St. Louis 15 in "The 'Outfield Fence That Made Like A Xylophone." Best musical score of a dramatic picture: The Star Spangled Banner- before any sports event. The only thing left to add is that none of these winners ever have received an “Oscar” before, for which all of them have been proud and happy. Okay, Hollywood—take it away!

Few Upsets In Tourney Trail Os Prep Teams INDIANAPOLIS (UP)—The 195657 Indiana high school basketball campaign just ended made the prognosticators look good. There weren’t enough kingsized Upsets to give the . form chart a healthy going over, fourweek state tourney included." A pre-season poll conducted by United Press installed defending champion Indianapolis Attacks and Terre Haute Gerstmeyer as the top contenders for the 1957 crown. Both made the state finals. And Lafayette and South Bend Central, both also mentioned prominently, came through, too. A month ago today, when the long tourney grind got underway, Central’s Bears were top favorites—a prediction that was confirmed also. Harper “Coach of Year”? In the absence of big upsets of yesteryear—such as Summitville belting Anderson, Shelbyville blasting Terre Haute Garfield, Flora beating Lafayette, Ben Davis dumping Indianapolis Tech —is the "Hoosier Madness” getting to be a soft touch for the “name” teams? One season hardly establishes a trend, and there is no reason to believe the smaller teams are going to crawl into hiding or) continue to be pushovers. What** Noblesville accomplished this year can be duplicated by countless other teams. All it takes is ability, desire and leadership. Lots of work, too. The Millers won their first sectional championship this year since 1929, then grabbed their first regional title ever, upsetting favored Marion. That makes firstyear coach Glen Harper a prominent contender for “cOach of the year” laurels. Last year. Harper had New Ross in the semi-state undefeated. Finals at Bloomington? Gradual realignment of the tourney structure may also help bring new contenders to the "state” level. Indianapolis, for instance, may get two sectionals as soon as Southport’s spacious new fieldhouse is completed, Indiana University's planned new fieldhouse,, expected to seat 18,000, may eventually become site of the state finals. That would silence critics who consider the Butler Fieldhouse floor the home court for some Indianapolis teams. Crippled Children Society Cannister Stolen At Theater Roy Kalver, owner of the Adams Theater, has a candidate for the “meanest person in town” category. He proposes membership in this infamous group for the person who stole the Crippled Children Society’s cannister from the theater some time Sunday. The amount of money which had been dropped into the cannister during the few days that it was in the lobby of the theater is unknown. The money collected by the society finances the summer speech clinic, aids the Vera Cruz opportunity school for exceptional children and is also used to purchase equipment necessary to case the handicaps' of crippled children. The stolen cannister was one of many distributed in stores and business establishments throughout the county. The society Is also sponsoring the sale of Easter seals as a project to laise money for the fund.

Harvey Kuenn Is Threat To Batting Title By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer Harvey Kuenn is serving sharp notice this spring that he may be the "man to beat” for the American League batting title. The experts nave been forecasting a battle among Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle and Al Kaline, but the 26-year old Kuenn looks like he's geared for a fast start that could leave ’em all far behind. He's belting the ball at a ,404-clip, has hit in 10 straight games and connected safely in all but one of the 15 games he’s played. Kuenn enjoyed his best day of the spring Tuesday when he drove in five runs .with a homer, two doubles and a single to lead the Detroit Tigers to an 8-4 victory over the Cincinnati Redlegs. The victory was the Tigers’ fourth in six games after they started their | Grapefruit League campaign with eight defeats in 10 contests. Mueller Grand-Slams The Pittsburgh Pirates scored their 10th win in 16 exhibition games when they got two-hit pitching from Dick Hall, Nelson King and Elroy Face to beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-0. The Pirates walloped Murry Dickson and Jim Davis for 11 hits, including a homer by Bill Mazeroski. The New York Giants, who are developing into a real spring surprise, downed the Chicago Cubs, 7-6, and now have won 11 of 16 Grapefruit League games. Don Mueller pulled this one out of the fire with a grand-slam homer with two out in the ninth after Bob Speake's four runs-batted-in provided the Cubs with a 6-3 lead. The Baltimore Orioles handed the puzzling Cleveland Indians their seventh setback in eight games when they rallied for three runs in the ninth and a 7-6 decision Wayne Causey tied the score with a two-run single and then 19-year old sensation Brooks Robinson, who knocked in three earlier runs, delivered him with the game-winning tally. Dodgers In Rout The Brooklyn Dodgers poured over seven runs in the third inning and went on to rout the Philadelphia Phillies, 8-3. Doubles by Don Newcombe, Gino Cimoli, Carl Furillo and Charley Neal featured the big uprising against southpaw Harvey Haddix. Roy Sievers’ ninth-inning single was the big blow of a battle of homers as the Washington Senators tripped the Kansas’ City Athletics, 8-7. Bob Cerv hit two homers and Gus Zernial and Hal Smith one each for Kansas City while Harmon Killibrew delivered a grand-slam round-tripper for the Senators. Jimmy Piersail homered in the 10th inning to enable the Boston Red Sox to shade the Los Angeles Angels of the Pacific Coast League, 6-5. Red Sox rookie outfielder Marty Keough hit two homers while Jim Baxes homered twice and Steve Bilko blasted a round-tripper for Los Angeles. McCarthy And Devine Notre Dame Captains SOUTH BEND (W — John McCarthy and Bob Devine were named Tuesday as co-captains of Notre Dame’s 1957-58 basketball squad. McCarthy was the team’s third highest scorer this year with 431 points and Devine was next with 356 and has started 52 consecutive games at guard.

Olympic Champions Wed This Morning Harold Connolly Weds Czech Girl PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia (UP) —Olympic champions Harold Connolly of Boston and Olga Flkotova of Czechoslovakia were pronounced man and wife three times today in wedding ceremonies that ended their long fight to wed across the Iron Curtain. Three thousand enthusiastic Czechs' overflowed the huge old town square outside City Hall and cheered on the couple as they moved from one ceremony to another — Roman Catholic, Protestant and Civil .in accordance with. their religions and Czech law. Met At Melbourne Wedding bells pealed throughout the Czech capital for the American Olympic hammer champion and his pretty browneyed Czech bride, who won a gold medal at the Melbourne Olympics for discus throwing. It was there their romance started. They were married first in a Civil ceremony at City Hall as prescribed by Czech law. Then they were re-married at the Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady. Finally, another ceremony was conducted across the square in Olga’s own church, the Evangelical Church of St. Salvatore. Connolly, 26, and his 26-year-old bride had hoped to be the first couple in line when City Hall opened, but a huge crowd barred the way. Finally they got in an hour and 15 minutes later and a city official married them. Popular Demonstration Because of the crowd, the Connollys rode in a car the mere 50 yards to the Church of Our Lady where they became Mr. and Mrs. all over again according to the Roman Catholic rites of Hal’s faith. The demonstration outside was a popular one, for Czech newspapers have carried the story of the couple’s efforts to break down the Iron Curtain and marry, and their plight caught the ‘ public fancy. The Czechs have been careful to avoid giving any political flavor to the romance. Congratulations poured in from all over the world, including one from Secretary of State John Foster Dulles stating “Mrs. Dulles and I.extend best personal wishes on your wedding day. John Foster Dulles." President Antonin Zapotocky of Czechoslovakia was invited to be guest of honor at the wedding—it was generally agreed that his personal, .intervention *a<tf of the red tape that tnreatenea to block the romance.
