Montreal Defeats Toronto In Opener MONTREAL (UPI) —The Montreal Canadians are off in front in the Stanley Cup hockey finals with a 5-3 win over Toronto on last-period power, but both coaches think the defending champs will have to “tighten up” to retain the cup. The heavily-favored Canadians came up with a pair of third-pe-riod goals by Marcel Bonin and Dickie Moore to deflate the upstart Leafs Thursday night in the opener of the best-of-seven series. Neither team covered itself with glory in the somewhat lacklustre first game. “We have got to tighten up, particularly in our own end, if we hope to win this,” said Coach Toe Blake flatly. Toronto Coach Punch Imlach, whose amazing Leafs surprised almoost everyone by reaching the finals,- agreed - with Blake that the Canadians will have to play better if they aim to successfully defend their tide. "The Canadians are dead pigeons, if that’s the best they can do. We can beat them,” Imlach said.

Celtics Take Fourth In Row For NBA Title MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (UPD— The Boston Celtics mounted the National Basketball Association throne with a record-smashing flourish by beating the Minneapolis Lakers, 118-113, here Thursday night for their second title in three years. The Celtics became the first club in NBA history to swebp a ' title series in four straight games. It came at the expense of a club they had beaten a record num-| ber of times in succession. The Celtics, who crushed the ' Minneapolis Cinderella team, took their championship in stride. They gave out a few whoops in the locker room and threw Coach Red 1 Auerbach in the shower with his clothes on, but 10 minutes after the game most of them were quietly packing for the long trip home. 1 *T suppose you could say this was an anti-climax after barely beating (4-3) Syracuse in the east- ' ern playoffs, Auerbach said. ’ “We were pretty sure we would i win the title after beating the Lakers in the second game. But > you have to give that team credit, i They fought all the way, even < though they must have known 1 they were beaten. 1 His Best Team . "This is the greatest team I’ve < ever coached,” Auerbach said. “Even better than the 1957 title 1 club. It’s more experienced, fast- ] er, deeper and a better shooting ; team. And that was the greatest series I’ve ever seen any team Play." Guard Bill Sharman, whose 17 points in the second half killed the Lakers, said, “I guess we just had too much speed and too much depth for them." His running mate. Bob Cousey, said, “I said Tuesday we’d make ; it a sweep. I think this is a better club than the 1957 group.” Laker Coach Johp Kundla •wouldn’t say the Celtics were better than his old Laker champions, but he admitted “they’re a great ball club.” I ’ The title game wasn’t decided until the final two minutes of . play. Withstand Rallies The Celtics jumped to a 9-2 lead, only to see the Lakers come back to tie at 34-all at the end of the first period. At half time, it was 64-62 Boston on Tom Heinsohn’s tip-in.at the bdSigr. , . The Lakers overcame another seven-point lead by the Celtics in the third quarter and trailed, 88-87, going into the final stanza. Then, Frank Ramsey put Boston ahead for good at 96-95 on a thrfeepoint play. Boston built its lead to 106-97, mainly on Sharman’s set shots, and withstood another Laker rally before climbing but of , danger, 110-104. — J Sharman, whose consecutive ’ free throw record ended at 66. was high for Boston with 29. Ramsey had 24 and Heinsohn 23. Bill Russell pulled down 30 re- I bounds and blocked a dozen Laker shots. Rookie-of-the-year Elgin Baylor belatedly returned to form with 30 points for the Lakers after being held to 'a total of 27 in the previous three games. Bob Leonard had 23 and captain Vern Mikkelsen had 20.

Mike Fetchick Leads In Greensboro Open GREENSBORO, N.C. (UPDMike Fetchick, 36-year-old Yonkers, N.Y., pro who has been in the PGA cellar since 1956, led a field of 125 golfers into the second round of the Greater Greensboro Open tournament today with a five-under-par 66. Few expected the round-faced power hitter, who once played professional basketball, to go the route, and Fetchick himself was unable to explain his blistering first round Thursday. Fetchick, who carded a 35-31—66 on four birdies, an eagle and a bogie, was one up on Billy Maxwell of Odessa, Tex., who came ,in with a four-under-par 33-34—68 on the Starmount Forest Country Club course. Going into the second day of the 22nd annual $15,000 event there were four three-under-par 68s, five 69s and five one-under-par 70s. Art Wall, fresh from his Masters victory in Augusta, Ga., last week, was one of the 69 shooters. Still cast in the favorite’s role, the former Duke star from Pocono Manor, Pa., bogied on the third and then went on to collect birdies on the seventh, 14th and 18th. Sam Snead, who has won this tourney six times, came in- with a two-over-par 73 by virtue of a double bogey six at the second hole. « Placihg -hr baak of Fetchick and Maxwell-with 68s were. Dow Eiit sterwald, Stan Leonard, Joe Campbell and Tony Lerna. The 69s were shot, in addition to Wall, by veteran Doug Ford, David Thomas, George Bemardin and host pro Charlie Farlow. New Castle's Star Is No. 2 On Team INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Ray Pavy, New Castle’s all-time pointmaker, today owned the No. 2 spot in the lineup on the Indiana high school basketball “All-Stars ’ which takes on Kentucky’s best at Louisville in June. Pavy, along with Kokomo's Jimmy Rayl, who was named “Mr. Basketball,” gives the North Central Conference the top two spots on the Indiana squad. Paoli Rosi Fights Frankie Ryff Tonight SYRACUSE, N.Y.

Senators, Reds ; Win In Major ? League Openers I- > h By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International j Washington and Cincinnati were e living it up in first place today and they can both dream, can’t they—until nightfall, anyway.

6th In a Series of Messages Paid for By a Group of Local People ‘ I Interested in WHAT’S BEST FOR DECATUR AND IT’S CITIZENS. I The $2-Million Electric Question 1 ■ a ■ To sell or not to sell, that is the question! We, a group of typical a ■ Decatur Citizens, believe there is only one answer! SELL! Sell what we * B have left before it is too late, so that we can still realize a reasonable re*.; ■ turn on our investment! Sell and get more —dependable, efficient electric service for everyone—city customers, rural customers, industries. Sell ; .--B and get Decatur out of debt. Sell and keep electric rates low. Sell so * ■ Decatur has ready cash on hand to use as it sees fit to take care of much 4 ■ needed community improvements to make our town a better place in which to live, work and prosper. Sell to lower taxes. 2 ■ We firmly believe that everyone interested in his pocketbook (and who isn’t these days?) should vote to take advantage of I&M’s offer of $2,102,300 Tor our electric facilities. It means a definite cash saving for 4 ■ everyone because if we take service from I&M the very most residential rates would increase would be 40c a month for some customers. If the city stays in the business, some 2,500 residential customer’s rates would increase approximately $2.50 per month. ( Let’s not forget this: If the money derived from the sale was invested in, say, government securities which currently pay 4% interest, this interest alone could more than pay off our sewage-treament bonds and “ ■ the principal amount would still be available for whatever important city '• D improvements are needed; and there are certainly many—to name one: * I our inadequate and outdated sewer system. 3 ■ Selling our electric system is the only advisable thing for us to do. We can’t afford more bonded indebtedness; we can’t afford the ever-in- ® ■ creasing high cost of operating the electric system; we can’t afford to I put up any longer with poor electric service and a limited supply of electricity; and certainly we can’t afford higher rates. ? ■ To sum it all up, we can’t afford to vote NO April 14 because, if we do, the future of Decatur as a city will be written. We’ll stay right as we are —a small town in Adams County midway between the big city of Fort ■ Wayne and the progressive community of Berne, which is growing indus1 H. trially and residentially because of its very favorable electric service and unlimited electric supply. — 2 I A vole Io SELL CITY LIGHT means:I lower taxes, a debt-free Decatur, “QUALITY” electric I service, and an unlimited supply of elecfric power for * Icommunity growth and prosperity. _ U r ONE THING, FLASH—7HE F / H-BOMB BARRAGE HAS KNOCkEP V DfWSw IWSwMr /1 Yw | j 2 I A OUT an/ resistance on the drop ) W/j s IM L 'W u 'I •• ffii. pcwnh jwij L OMaWLAJEdE WKOX\ IIW radiation ARMOg j'l, k V X \’ll SEALED, FILTER *lf D I I MASKS ON, WEAPONS 'k' U k : o MBwHMwWi-k klk- < , / _ ________ s

Score Triple Play Vice President Richard Nixon, subbing for President Eisenhower, was among the 26,850 who saw the Senators lick the Orioles at the nation’s capital Thursday. Pedro Ramos blanked the Orioles until two out in the ninth when Gus Triandos hammered a two-run homer. The Senators, however, clinched the game with a four-run burst in the fourth inning that included two-run homers by Harmon Killebrew and Rene Bertois off loser Jack Harshman. Washington, which wound up the 1958 season with 13 straight losses, • collected 14 hits and stole four j bases. The Orioles committed three errors but turned in the first triple play in Washington’s 59-year opening day history in the fifth inning. With Roy Sievers on second base and rookie Bob Allison on first in that frame, Ed Fitzgerald lined to first baseman Bob Boyd, who threw to shortstop Chico Carrasquel to double Sievers. Carrasquel’s throw back to Boyd nailed Allison for the triple killing. Purkey Tames Pirates Frank Robinson drove in three runs with a homer and a single iand Bob Pur key hurled a six-hit-i ter against his former Pittsburgh teammates to make Mayo Smith's managerial debut with Cincinnati a success. ; Robinson slammed a two-run j homer in the fourth inning and singled home another run in the fifth, much to .the delight of 32,190 | v

fans who turned out for Olney’s home opener. Purkey, a 17-game winner last season, yielded the Pirates* only run in the third on a single by Hank Foiles, a sacrifice and Roberto Clemente’s single.
