Tighe Thinks Tigers Have Shot At Flag LAKELAND, Fla (UP)— Manager Jack Tighe believes the Detroit Tigers “have a good shot’' at the American League pennant if they can pick up a good relief pitcher and a high-grade utility infielder. He admits his pitching depth thins out after his five starters and that “we would be in real trouble if we lost any of our four regular infielders for any long period.” But he isn’t "the least worried" about the eventual success of his two big spring experiments — the shifting of second basemaa Billy Martin to short and shortstop Harvey Kuenn to center field.

"I wish I was as sure of the rest of the team as I am that Billy and Harvey will come through,” be saicf. Active In Trade*. Detroit was the most 'active team on the trading marts during the off-season and in an effort to get additional help, General Manager Johnny McHale even turned to the National League But thus fat has been unsuccessful in his attempted deals. “We’ll keep on trying, both in ; our league and the other one,” McHaJe said. “Maybe by the time ■ they start breaking camp, the other clubs Will be in a trading ' mood.” Every starting position ori the 1 Tiger club is set. ‘ Ray Boone will be at first base. > Frank Bolling at second, Martin at short, Reno Bertoia at third, ’ Al Kaline in right, Kuenn in center and Charley Maxwell in left with Jim Began the No. 1 catcher.

Celtics, Hawks In NBA Playoff Final By UNITED PRESS For the second straight year it's the Boston Celtics vs the St. Louis Hawks in the finals of the National Basketball Assn, playoffs. The finals open Saturday afternoon with a nationally-televised game. The Celtics and the Hawks each won their divisional finals by a 4-1 score in games Thursday night. Boston . downed the Philadelphia Warriors, 93-88, id Boston as big Bill Russell led the way with 18 points and 30 rebounds. St. Louis stormed to a 120-96 win over the Detroit Pistons at St. Louis as Cliff Hagan scored 32. Coach Red Auerbach of the Celtics quickly turned his mind to the finals and said, “I feel this one wifi undoubtedly go file seven games.” ; Auerbach predicted that J the "fie nals would last longer than the Warriors’ series because the Hawks “are bigger and stronger than the Warriors.” only 12 homers and 65 runs batted in, but he was playing a strange position, having shifted from third to first. Bolling, a good glove man, hit only .259, Martin .251 with the Yankees , and Kansas City, and Bertoia, after getting off to a good start, wound up with a mark of .275. Although he hit only .295, Kaline batted in 90 runs and hit 23 ■ homers. He has a chance to be- j come one*6f thd great Outfielders i of this era. Kuenn slumped to .277 , in 1957, but thinks the shift to , the outfield will help him get back < on the hitting beam. Maxwell bat- , ted in 82 runs with 24 homers as ; he compiled a mark of .276. Hegan is a light hitter, having batted -216 for Cleveland last season, but is regarded as one of , the best defensive catchrs in th ] business. Strong Bnch ( The only infield reserve spot set , is at first where Gail Harris, obtained from the San Francisco • Giants, will understudy Boone Unless a deal is made for a utility infielder. Tighe will have to go along with Inman Veal, a good glove man who can't hit. " The Tigers’ bench otherwise is strong. Gus Zernial, one of the players obtained in the 13-man player deal with the Athletics, may platoon with Maxwell in right. Lou Skizas, another ex-Kansas City player who batted in 44 runs and hit 18 homers is sure to stick as a utility man for he’can play •both the outfieid and -Wiird although he is no fancy dan at either position. The veteran Johnny Groth. Bill Taylor, the xGiant, and Jim Greengrass, the former Phillie and Cincinnati outfielder, are vying for the other outfield utility posts. • The “big five" of the pitching , staff will be Jim Bunning <2O-8), 'Prank Lary (11-16), Paul Foytack 1 (14-ID, Billy Hoeft (9-11) and ( Tom Morgan, who was 9-7 with , Kansas City last season. .

Montreal And Boston Win Thursday Night By UNITED PRESS The “rocket-fired” Montreal Canadians were soaring along with a 2-0 lead ,over the Detroit Red Wings today in their semi-final series in the National Hockey League nlayoffs. ' SparkM by Maurice (Rocket) Richard’s two goals, the Canadiens ripped the Red Wings, 5-1, Thursday night at Montreal and now need only two more victories to reach the Stanley Cup fihal for the eighth straight year. In the other semi-final, the Boston Bruins tied the New York Rangers at one victory apiece by edging the Blueshirts, 4-3, on a “sudden death” goal by Jerry Toppazzini at 4:46 of the first overtime period at New York. The third games in each series will be played Saturday night at Detroit and Boston. Score Hurls Four Hitless Innings By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer Herb Score still complains about his sprained ankle but it’s nothing compared to the way rival hitters are complaining about his blinding speed. The Cleveland Indians’ strikeout king — sidelined most of last season with an injured eye and hurt in the opening week of spring training this year — turned in an overpowering performance Thursday as the Indians defeated the Chicago Cubs, 13-7. Camp observers promptly predicted that the 200-pound left-hander will be the Indians’ opning-day pitcher. It was a free-hitting game but the Cubs did all their hitting after Score left the mound. During his four innings on the firing line, Herb whiffed five batters and didn’t allow a hit In 10 innings of Grapefruit League hurling, he’s allowed seven hits and struck out 10 batters. Others Make Bids Jack Sanford of the Philadelphia Phillies, Brooks Lawrence of the Cincinnati Redlegs and Chuck Stobbs of the Washington Senators also made bids for opening day assignments with strong pitching efforts. Sanford, rookie of the year in the National League as a 19-game winner last season, yielded two runs in seven innings as the Phillies beat the Chicago White Sox. 6-2. Harry Anderson and Stan Lo9>ata hit homers for the Phillies off 16-game winner Dick Donovan but Bob Keegan blanked the National Leaguers for the last five frames. Lawrence allowed one run and three hits as he also went seven innings in the Redlegs’ 9-1 romp over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Yanks Rally * j Stobbs, 8-10 last yar, was touched for a homer by Don Blas- j ingame and only one other hit in j six innings in the Washington Sen- I ators’ 2-1 decision rivet the St. Louis Cardinals. The New York Yankees rallied for three runs in the ninth to beat the Kansas City Athletics, 5-4; the San Francisco Giants clobbered the Baltimore Orioles, 10-0, and the Boston Red Sox shaded the Los Angeles Dodgers, 2-1, in other games.
