Rotary club members rested easier today, however, when they learned that high scorers Harry Knapp and Noah Steury had been publicly kicked off the Lions club team Monday night for breaking' training rules. Knapp was reported defiant today, claiming that his contract with the Zollner Pistons would have kept him from playing with the local boys, anyway. Uniforms are expected to vary considerably, according to some of the plans already discussed in public. A number of tickets have already been sold. Band Engaged A six-piece band composed of high school students will furnish music during the quarters and between games.

Agree Attacks Best Team In Prep Circles GBy KURT FREUDENTHAL United 'Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Two coaches whose teams whipped ' Indianapolis Attacks three times during the season agreed today that the best team won the Indiana high school basketball tourney. There’s no doubt about it, said Cleon Reynolds of Indianapolis Shortridge and Ken Gunning of Connersville. Reynolds’ tough Blue Devils beat Attacks twice, but lost to them in tfye sectional semifinals, 63-62. "We threw the game away the third time and they were smart enough to take it," commented Reynolds. “I’m sure the best team won.” Reynolds watched the finals here last Saturday, as did Gunning. And Reynolds is already moaning when he thinks of next year. “I think they’ll be tops In the state again,” he said. "I don’t know who is going to give them trouble. With that big front line and. boys like Jerry Trice back, they’ll be awfully tough.” Spartans Used Zone Reynolds thought Attacks improved with every tourney game He said the Tigers got a big boost when Big Bobby Edmonds became eligible last January and they became more confident every week. Connersville licked Attacks by 11 points Feb. 7, 74-63 but Gunning also said lie is convinced the best team is wearing the crown. “We played a zone against them,” he recalled, “and had their big boys blocked out pretty good. We hit better than 60 per cent of our shots in the first half. That’s the reason we beat them." Gunning took his players to the state finals. He said he noted that Attacks moved better than when his team beat them. “Offensive rebounding made the difference," said Gunning. “I don't think Kokomo had much defense and I felt Logansport ’was definitely too small. * Two Must Rebuild Gunning, who loses four-fifth of his starting quintet, including 6-3 star Kenny Strawn, said he picked ■ Attacks for the state title. “I kind of felt they’d go all the r way,” he said. “They did the same thing four years ago when we beat them. That time, nowever, Conners- ( ville was the only team to whip the Tigers all season. While Attacks will again be 'loaded next year, it will be rebuilding time for New Albany land Kokomo.

Giants Badly Crippled In Spring Drills GIANTS RALLY & • Editor’s Note: This is the eighth dispatch on the prospects of major league teams for 1959.) By SCOTT BAILLIE United Press International PHOENIX, Ari. (UPD—Take a walk through sick bay and you’ll see most of the San Francisco Giants' opening day lineup for this season. That guy with 35 stitches in his shin is Willie Mays. The husky Puerto Rican with the racking cough is Orlando Cepeda, the National League Rookie of the Year in 4959. Daryl Spencer, slated to play second base, is the one with the sore foot and sore arm. Jackie Brandt, who rates as the left fielder, is recovering from a nose operation. And the man with the wired-up jaw and battered teeth is Manager Bill Rigney, who drove into a lamp post last month. * So far this year, the harried manager has not been able field a team resembling the club which finished a surprise third last season. But although he bawled out his charges last week for laxness, Rigney declares that the squad seems to be in a slightly better position than at this time last year. Banking On Rodgers “I feel better about shortstop.” Rigney says. “Andre Rodgers is playing with a lot more confidence and we’re banking on him to make it this time.” This is the biggest change on the club so, far. Rigney moved Spencer from shortstop to second ; so that the hard-throwing, 6 foots 3 Rodgers could play short. An-1 dre, a light hitter in two previous! shots with the Giants, won .the Pacific Coast League batting ■ championship last year with a .354 average. Spencer is supposed to have made the shift to second only after some discussion. “He’ll be a better player there;’ Rigney says. “He won’t make the throwing errors of last year and will hit better." Speneer, who is trying to im-. prove his hitting, slid to .256 last season after a good start. There could be another change - -- „ 4 -

in the infield and an even more important one. Rigney is mulling over the idea of shifting Cepeda over froin first base to third and giving Rill White Orlando's old position. The addition of left handed White would put more power into a lineup that already is heavy hitting but consists predominately of. right-handed batters. Mas “Exciting” Outfield white had been regarded as the Giants’ first baseman when he entered the service then came back last season-to find Cepeda had taken over the bag in convincing fashion. Rigney says t}iat he will have “one of the most exciting outfields in the business” with Brandt in left, Mays in center and Felipe Alou in right. All three are fine fielders and exceptionally fast. If Cepdda remains at first base, it will be Jim Davenport again at third. "Die quiet Alabaman, Cepeda and catcher Bob Schmidt were three rookies who came through big last year. The pitching muddle, Rigney’s biggest headache, cleared somewhat . recently when Al Worthington 111-7) finally signed and Ramon Monzant (8-11) said he might not retire after’all. “We need another men in the bullpen to go with Billy Muffett (4-6) at £t. Louis and Gordon Jones (3-11,” Rigney says. "Joe Shipley could helpUs a lot if he got over his stage fright.” Shepley, the wild owner of a fast sinker, had a 5-2 record at Phoenix last year and an earned run average of 2.45 in rellief. The batters are reported to be just as scared as he is. From Starting Pitchers The mainline pitchers are led by southpaw Johnny Antonelli (16-13), Jack Sanford (10-13) who was obtained from Philadelphia, Stu Miller (6-9) whose 2.47 earned, run average led the league in 1958, and Mike McCormick (11-8). McCormick, a left-hander, may get an extra day’s rest this season. Curt Barclay, who was a starting pitcher when the Giants were still part of New York, is making a comeback from a sore arm. He sustained it during winter bowling and was shipped to Phoenix last year where he had j a 12-8 record. Rigney continues to dicker with ! the Cardinals for another pitcher. I Schmidt is set again as the number one catcher with Hobie Landrith. another Cardinal acquisition, behind, him. Smitty. can belt the long ball but Rigney would like to see him tack about 10 or 15 points to his .244 average.

Brilliant In Yank Victory By FRED DOWN United Press International Tom Sturdivant is out to prove he's the “solid - pitching insurance" Casey Stengel claims the New York Yankees need to win another American League flag. A 16-game winner in both 195% and 1957, Sturdivant suffered through a 3-6 campaign in 1958 and has frequently been mentioned as trade bait in the Yankees’ attempts to swing a deal for a pitcher. But it’s just possible the Yankees will have to look no further than their own clubhouse for the man they want. Sturdivant made a big bid in that direction Monday when he hurled five brilliant innings in the Yankees* 5-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles, whose six - game winning streak had established them as -one of the hottest teams on the grapefruit circuit. The Orioles managed only two hits off Sturdivant and both of them were “scratchy.” Elston Howard hit his second homer of the spring and Mickey Mantle weighed in with a runscoring single as the Yankees evt ened their spring record at 7-7. Virgil Trucks, Ryne Duren and Jim Bronstad completed the shutout and a nifty combined six-hit performance. _ Have Anxious Moments The Yankees had some anxious ’ moments in the eighth inning when > Duren was forced to leave the L game after stopping a line drive i with his bare hand. Trainer Gus Mauch said he did not believe ' there were any bones broken and • no X-rays were planned. i The Detroit Tigers crushed the : Cincinnati Reds, 15-5; the Philas delphia Phillies beat the St. Louis : Cardinals. 9-5. the Los Angeles • Dodgers defeated -the Milwaukee > Braves. 10-6, and Ale Chicago 1 White Sox beat the Kansas City j Athletics, 8-3, in Monday's only /other exhibition games.

The Phillies rocked 42-year-old Sal Maglie in a seven-run eighth inning rally featured by Dave Rhiiley’s grand-slam homer. Ed Keegan, a 19-year-old rookie who was 13-9 at Williamsport last season, held the Cardinals to one run and three hits for the first five innings. Fifth Straight Loss Don Demeter and John Rose- , boro homered for the Dodgers who raised their spring record to 8-3 > and handed the Braves their fifth 1 straight loss and their eighth in I their last nine games.
