NCAA Tourney Finals Open As Louisville LOUISVILLE, Ky. (UPD—Cincinnati made it a year late and Louisville a year early, but they ruled as cofavorites today in the NCAA basketball finals which open tonight before a sellout 19,000 fans at Freedom Hall. Both teams, held at about 8-5 locally to win the tournament, have something extra going for them as •Louisville opens the twoday struggle for Kentucky’s va-, cated title by meeting West Vir- : ginia in the eastern semi-final and Cincinnati goes against California in the western semi-final. The winners meet Saturday night fcr college basketball’s greatest prize. Louisville was a two points fafvorite over West Virginia and Cincinnati was 2% over California in tonight’s games. The Cardinals will be playing on their own floor and before their own fans, the first time a. team has had such an advantage since City College of New York took the title at Madison Square Garden in 1950. Cincinnati’s big plus is Oscar Robertson, the nation’s leading scorer and unquestionably the current super-star of college basketball. The Bearcats, who were ticketed for the Louisville finals a year ago but Jiad their ticket punched by Kansas State in the first round, made it this year by polishing off that same Kansas State team, 85-75. Louisville couldn’t play .500 ball the first two months of this season but the sophomores who were supposed to be a year away wised up in a hurry and the Cards astonished the basketball world by dethroning Kentueky’sddfendby dethroning Kentucky’s defending champs and beating Michigan State on successive nights in the mid-east regionals. California and West Virginiai were held at about 3 to 1 shots to take the title, although California ranked as thenation’s toughest defineively and the Mountaineers rode in on a record of 21 Stop That CSUiRITfiI? “OUR OWN” COUGH SYRUP KOHNE DRUG STORE

Alston Sees Hopeful Signs For Dodgers Editors Note: This is the fifth dispatch on the prospects of the major league clubs for 1959. By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Spores Editor VERO BEACH, Fla. (UPI) - Last year at this time, Walter Alston was talking pennant for the Los Angeles Dodgers, confidently predicting they would beat the Mailwaukee Braves., They beat the Braves, all right, but hardly anybody else, and finished seventh. “Everything went wrong,” said Alston. “So this spring I’m not predicting anything.” Told that a lot of other managers in the league class the Dodgers as contenders, he merely shrugged his shoulders and said he hoped they’re right. “But don't say I Said we are ♦going to be contenders,” he declared emphatically. He did make it plain that he didn’t blame the trick ballpark in Los Angeles for the Dodgers’ debacle last season. “We just played lousy ball, at home and away,” he pointed out. “The only thing we could do right was when we were playing Milwaukee.” The Dodgers beat the pennant-winners 14 times while losing only eight. He conceded there were hopeful signs for 1959, however. , Young Pitching Staff Among them are his young pitching staff, an added year’s experience for catcher John Roseboro, the fact that Gil Hodges doesn’t figure to have two bad years in a row, and the possibility Duke Snider’s bat will start blastin gaga nl — . The Duke, - bothered by a bad knee, hit .312 last season, but it wasn't a typical Snider year. Instead of the usual 40-or-so homers he hits every year, driving in 10C or more runs, he had only 15 homers with 58 RBl’s. Snider will be in Centerfield with the veteran Carl Furillo, who is 36, in right. Left field is up for grabs. Alston may platoon Wally Moon, the southpaw swinge ob- , tained from the Cardinals, and Rip Repulski, the ex-Phillie who bats from the right side. There also is a chance that Jim Gentile, although he hit only .249 at Spoikane, or Norm Larker, who batted .277 in 99 games for the Dodgers, can take over first base, freeing Hodges for left field. Hodges really dropped off las' season, -hitting only .259 with 21 ! home rur s with 64 runs batted in I Gil will be 35 in April, tut othei 1 managers concede that he’s a: /good as they come at first base Second Base Filled I Jim Gilliam, ticketed for third also can play left—if Bob Lillis iwho hit .391 in 20 games for Los 1 Angeles late last season aftei they brought him up from St Paul, can win the shortstop berth That would leave Don Zimmer last year’s regular shortstop, oi Dick Gray, who hits a long bal but not very often, to take ovei third. Thus the only infield positiqr ' that is set is Charley Neal at sec- • ond base. There isn't a club ir the league which wouldn’t like tc ! have him although he slumped along with the rest of the Dodgers last season and fell to a .254 ' average. Roseboro, whom most baseball men feel has a chance to become one of the league’s top hitters, will be the No. 1 catcher with Joe Pignatano, an accomplished receiver but weak hitter, in reserve. Pitching could be the Dodgers' fate. They have the possibilities i There is Don Drysdale, the fastballing right hander who lost his first seven games last year and still wound up with a 12-13 mark: Johnny Podres, the left-handed change of pace artist with a 13-15 record: southpaw Sandy Koufax, who was 7-3 in 1958 before he hurt his andle and wound up 11-11 Stan Williams, a young righthander who won nine while losing seven, and Bob Giallombardo, a 12-game winner at Montreal. Koufax and Williams can throw the ball as fast as almost anyone. Better Finish Predicted I Possible starters also include i the veteran Carl Erskine (4-4). Fred Kipp '6-6) and lanky Roge>Craig, back for another shot although he won only five while losing 17 at St. Paul. Clem Labine . Don Bessent dl-0) and Danny McDevitt (2-6 with the Dodgers and 9-4 with St. Paul) figure to form the bullpen brigade. J Put them all together, and if hurlers like Drysdale can forget that short left field fence, the Dodgers could come up with the best pitheing in the league. They don’t look like a seventh place club and aren’t likely to finish that low again in 1959. Traffic Wreck Fatal To Evansville Man EVANSVILLE, Ind.

Greensburg Mayor's Shortage All Paid INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Discrepancies in the city court records of Mayor Sheldon Smith of Greensburg totaled $8,253.75, the Indiana State Board of Accounts revealed today and announced it has sent a copy of the report to a Decatur County grand jury. The shortage has been accounted for "in full by Smith, 39, mayor the past nine years, who fabricated a story on Feb. 21 that he was attacked with a razor blade by three men who robbed his private office of city and personal funds, and later said the story was a hoax and that he lost the money in a “pigeon drop” confidence game. The board said a copy of the audit report was sent to Prosecutor Richard Garvey of Decatur County for delivery to the next session of a grand jury. The shortage included $7,116.68 which Smith deposited on March 16, a day before he admitted the hoax; $787.07 in an unauthorized bank account, and $350 in bail bond checks which had been lying uncashed and undeposited for years in a drawer in Smith’s office, the board’s report said. The checks were recovered, the bank account was recovered, and Smith’s March 16 deposit completed restitution of the shortage. Smith is now in a Louisville hospital for psychiatric treatment. Satellite Detection Fence Is Created PASADENA, Calif. (UPI) —The United States has taken action to protect itself’ against a possible sneak satellite attack from outer space by creating a "satellite detection fence.” This early warning system against satellites is “essentially completed” and consists of a series of detecting stations strung across the southern states, said Dr. W. L. Whitson, deputy chief scientist of the Advanced Research Projects Agency. He addressed a meeting Thursday on “the realities Os space exploration" held at California Institute of Technology. The three-d'a!y meeting ends Saturday. These stations are equipped to detect silent satellites which emit no radio signal, Whitson said. “Unftiendly satellites will not radio their position,” he said, "tye will have to detect them.” He pointed out the problem will become more acute as the number of satellites orbiting overhead increases. “We are rapidly approaching the time when many satellites vZill be in orbit,” he said. “We heed the capability to track all kinds . We need a worldwide surveyance system. “One of our major concerns in 10 years will be locating and keeping track of perhaps hundreds of satellites,” he said. “We must be prepared to detect and identify all kinds.” While Whitson did not elaborate on the satellite threat, other scientific sources said it would be possible to put up nuclear-armed satellites which could orbit—observed but unsuspected—for some time before their deadly, payload became known by being triggered to drop on some earth location.
