lane Shaking Up Cleveland Indian Squad TUCSON, Arte. (UP) — Frank Lane has only started to shake up the Cleveland Indians and before he’s finished, it’s a safe bet he’ll have them back in the first division of the American League. Lane has a history of moving teams up wherever he goes. He did it with the White Sox and the Cardinals, and now he*s busy doing it with the Indians, who finished sixth last year. Lane's latest move was getting outfielder Larry Doby and Don Ferrarese, a left-handed curvebailer. from Baltimore in exchang for Gene Woodling, Dick Williams and Bud DaleyThe Indians now are well set in the outfield with Minnie Minoso in ’left, Doby in center and either Roger Maris or Rocky Colovito in right. Pitching Decisive In the long run, however, the Indians’ pitching will decide how high they finish this year. Herb Score, Bob Lemon and. Mike Garcia will be three of Cleveland’s starters. Ray Narleski and Don Mossi are a pair of excellent relievers but Manager Bobby Bragan may be forced to start either one or both from time to time unless Ferrarese or Jim < Mudcat) Grant, who wa» 18-7 with San Diego last year, prove capable of taking a starting turn. That would stiu leave“CaT MeLish, who was 9-7 last year; Pete Wojey, recently acquired from Detroit: Dick Tomanek and possibly Hal Woodeschick for relief. The infield is Cleveland’s weak spot and the situation wasn't helped any when first baseman Vic Wertz suffered a broken ankle last Sunday. Fortunately, Lane acquired dependable Mickey Vrnon from the Red Sox so the problem isn’t as acute* as it might have been. Vernon and Preston Ward will handle first base until July 1 when Wertz is expected back. ■ . Moran Impresses Rookie Billy Morna, up from San Diego, has impressed so much with his hitting and fielding that he has virtually won the second base job. Veteran Chico Carrasquel will be at short stop and either Bobby Avila or Billy Harrell at third. Fred Hat-' Our Shoes Are All Nationally Advertised you get Highest Quality at Lowest Prices!

field is the No. 1 utility man. Russ Nixon has stepped in and taken over the regular catching job and* Hal Naragon and JW. Porter are available to back him up. Dick Brown, with the club last year, is due out of the Army later this month. The Indians' sixth-place finish last season was their lowest in 11 years, but now that Lane has taken over, things are definitely looking up again. < Choose Rifle Team At Catholic School Plan Inter-School Competition Soon Five members of the Decatur Catholic Hot Shots, rifle team, will be chosen this week to compete against the three other rifle teams in'the county in inter-school competition, Paul Hess, reporter, said today. Firing order for the March 24 meet found Jerry Baker high in the standing position with 714100; George Mulligan, 58; Mike Ehler, 55/100; Dave Omlor; 55 G;erry Gil lig, 55; Sev Schurger, 53; George Tester, 50. The fact that 16 of the 27 members of the club have been in the first five during the previous meets has installed knee competition in the members. Jack Hurst, of the Indiana conservation department, and excutive officer of the F.O.P. rifle clubs, was present, and the groundwork for competition between county schools was laid. Ten members of the hot shots have qualified for the pre-marks-men rating, and are now working towards their marksman rating. The majority of the club lack one or two targets for lhei r pro-marks-manship award. Practice in the standing position, which is the most difficult, is the major cause of failure to qualify.

Younger Pros Favorites In Masters Meet AUGUSTA, Ga. (UP) — The 22 nd Masters golf tournament, with the younger professionals stealing the favorite’s role from the old timers, was set to start today with a reduced field of 87 golfers. T The entry list was 14 less than the 101 that teed off the first day last year despite the largest foreign representation in’ Masters history. The most talked about—and watched—foreign players were the Japanese twosome of Torakichi Nakamura and Koichi OnoThe Agusta National golf course, laid out by Bobby Jones and the scene of all Masters tournaments which began in 1934. was expected to be considerably faster today than it was for prac- : tice rounds the past four days. ’ Heavy rains last week had the : course soggy and slow, but re- : cent temperatures in the high 70s 1 dried the greens and fairways. 1 Daily mowings were expected to 1 make the greens even faster. 1 Venturi Favorite Ken Venturi of San Francisco, 1 the 27-year-old star picked by 1 veteran Sam Snead and others as 1 the favorite this year, toured the 1 rolling, 6,850 yard layout Tuesday < in a five-under-par 67. He played < nine holes Wednesday but said he ’ kept no score. Bantam Ben Hogan, holder of the Masters tournament record of 1274, which is 14 strokes better than par, tuned up by playing the back nine Wednesday. His score was a one over par 37. Perhaps the best practice round was turned in by another “youngster," 28 - year -old Dow Finsterwald of Athens, Ohio, who reported a two-under-par 70. Mike Souchak of Durham, N.C.. The former Duke Unvirsity football end, turned in a 71 • Wednesday, as did Jackie Burke : of Kiamesha Lake, N.Y., the “back door" champion of 1956 ’ who slipped in -when Venturi — . then an amateur — collapsed on the last nine holes Lloyd Mangrum of Chicago, 1 who holds the Masters course record of 64, but never has won J the tournament, had an even par ' 72 in practice Wednesday, the same score posted by Snead. The slammer, playing in a threesome with amateur Gene Andrews and Count Henri de Lamaze. the French amateur champion, had three birdies and a bogdy on the front nine for a two under par 34, but was two over on the back side for his 72. Snead, who with Jimmy Bern aret. is one of two three-time Masters winners, was not at all happy with his practice round play. When asked what he shot on the back nine, Sam replied disgustedly, "a million.” Defend- 1 ing champion Doug Ford of Ma- : hopac, N.Y., had a final tuncup of 73. 1 De ma ret Rides Demarct, who rode in an elec- < trie cart to conserve his legs dur- i ing an 18 hole practice round, didn’t care to discuss his score, i but the 46-year-old veteran who entered his 16th Masters tournament today had something to say about the condition of the course. “The course is still a little too. ] slow for real scientific shots,” < said Jaunty Jim, adding “it cer- i lainly is about as slow as I’ve j seen here." However, he said the weather j and ' “criss - cross" cuttings of ( the greens would -make the ] course much faster for the four days of tournament play.

Hawks Beat Celtics For Playoff Lead ST. LOUIS (UP)—The St. Louis Hawks and the Boston Celtics, rivals in the National Basketball Association championship playoff series a second straight season, are following the script written one year ago. After three games in the 1957 title “set, the Western Division champion Hawks had a 2-1 edge. Today, * after three battles, Alex Hannum’s hurrying St. Louis crew has a one game lead. The third game or tne current playoff for the crown was played here at Kiel Auditorium Wednesday night, when 10,148 partisan fans cheered the Hawks to a 111-108 triumph. Another 1,628 witnessed a closed circuit telecast of the struggle in the Kiel Opera House, adjoining the Hawks’ courtGame four on Saturday now looms as a must tilt for the defending champion Celts, who stHl weren’t certain about the condition of their defensive whiz and rebound king, Bill Russell, early this morning. Russell suffered an injury to his right ankle midway in the third quarter of Wednesday’s game, went to the bench to have the ankle taped heavily and returned to action for a moment before calling it a night. Russell had scored 14 points and gathered in 13 rebounds before his fall to the floor. His offensive and defensive work had helped Boston to a 25-23 first quarter lead and he had played every minute of the opening half which ended in a 49-49 stand-off. Cubs, Giants Make Player Trade Today MESA, Ariz. fUP) —The Chicago j Cubs today traded off outfielder j Bob Speake to the San Francisco! Giants in return for outfielder Bobby Thomson. Cubs Manager Bob Sheffing said acquisition of the veteran of a dozen years in the major league! will “give us the right-handed hit-1 ting outfielder” the Chicago club long has needed. Thomson also was expected to give added protection at third base, Sheffing said. The deal, which involved an undisclosed sum of money, puts -Thomson —in —a —Cub—uniform, against his teammates of one day ago. The Cubs and the Giants are meeting today in a windup exhibition game. Whether Thomson would stay in center field was uncertain, Sheffing said, depending on the competition he gets from Chuck Tanner who moved to left. Thomson has a lifetime average of .270, and hit 240 last year. Sheffing preferred to look at it another way; “He’s got a lifetime batting average of better than .300 at Wrigley Field” where he’ll do most of his playing, the manager said. Speake, who was cultivated on the Cub farm system, has a twoyear average of .225 with the Cubs. Last year he hit 16 home runs. LU. 4s Defeated In Baseball Home Opener BLOOMINGTON — (IP) — Central Michigan pushed across two un- ] earned runs in the ninth innings , Wednesday to spoil Indiana’s home baseball opener, 8-6. Eight miscues were cammitted in the loosely-played game, five of them by the winners. Indiana row is 1-1 for the season. The two teams play a return game here today. 4 ■ College All-Americans Defeat Globetrotters DETROIT (Irt — Temple's Guy Rodgers has the College AllAmericans hoping. for their second victory in a row tonight when they meet the Harlem Globetrot- ! ters at Chicago in the seventh game of their cross-country bas- ! ketball tournament.

Devore Returns To Noire Dame Staff SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UP) - Hugh J. Devore Jr., ont-time head football coach at Notre Dame and of the Philadelphia Eagles, has returned to the campus of the Fighting Irish as freshman football coach.’ Devore’s appointment was announced Wednesday by Coach Terry Brennan, who said he had been seeking a suitable man for the freshman post for the past two years. "In every respect,” Brennan said, “I feel that Hiighie Devore
is the best man for the job. “It is important that, an experienced coach handle the assignment because, with the limiting of spring practice drills in recent years, more work has to be done at the frosh sessions in the fall. "Also,” Brennan added, “a ! strong guiding hand is needed ! with newly-arrived freshmen to 1 assist in counseling them in the " increased amount of academic ’ work that is put upon them in the adjustment from high school to • college." I Devore, a Notre Dame alumnus . who also served the Irish as team captain and assistant coach, was ’ head coach of the school’s gridl iron squad during the 1945 season | when the Irish posted a record of seven wins, two losses and a tie «*’ _
