SB-78. Powerful Gary Roosevelt meets Michigan City in the opener, and East Chicago collides with Valparaiso in the second afternoon scrap. Gary's Panthers. No. 2 in the state, won at Michigan City during the season. 47-43 Their chances should be even better on a neutral floor. East Chicago trimmed Valpo by 10 points* Should Gary and fourth-ranked East Chicago clash for the regional crown, it would also be a return scrap. Roosevelt beat the Senators on their own floor by four points early in January. Teeh May Play Manaal In their regional meeting a year ago. however. East Chicago prevailed. 87-52. An East ChicagoGary clash for the title should be one of the hottest Saturday night Several other interesting battles were shaping up.

Co-winners of the Central Conference title. Elwood compiled a 14-6 season record and captured the Anderson area sectional title.

Klllobr cw eventually will break | the 33-ycar-old mark. “No. I'm not thinking of that 60-record.” tald Kith-brew after working out at Fla.. Wednesday. "Bot 1 renlly think I'll hit at lend 45 bomert because 1 I'm anxious to prove I just wasn't i a ooe-year wonder in ’39.” Sloggers Impress Eager sluggers and reluctant signers cornered most of the other headline space created by Wednesday's training camp workouts. Frank Howard was the impressive slugger for the Los Angeles Dodgers at Vero Beach. Fla., while rookie George Coleman at-1 traded most of the attention at I the Cincinnati Reds' Tampa. Fla. base. Howard, a 6-lbot. 7-inch. 245-poundor. blasted numerous long drives in the Dodgers* morning and afternoon drills while Coleman, acquired from Cleveland during the winter, reached I both the center and right field ; fences during Cincinnati's workout. Coleman is regarded as the "sleeper” in the Reds’ Johnny Temple deal. American League batting champion Harvey Kuenn and the Detroit Tigers were 87,500 apart after Kuenn cut his original demand of $50,000 to $47,500. The club has refused for weeks to budge from $40.00. Pitcher Ryne Duren and infielder Andy Carey both balked at the New York Yankees' latest offers while Mickey Mantle sulked in Dallas. Tex., and said he planned to wait "for them to call me.” Mantle and the Yankees are- believed at least SB,OOO apart. Colavito Signs In a television interview Wednesday night at Dallas, Mantle indicated he wouldn't mind being traded by the Yankees. "I thought they (the Yankees' might have traded me last year..-to the Cleveland Indians.’ Mickey said "I don t even know if i;d mind getting traded now or not, the way everything has been going.” * Rocky Colavito showed up at the Cleveland Indians' camp Wednesday night at Tu cso n, Ariz., and "reluctantly signed for a reported $35,000. The slugging outfielder, who hit 42 home runs last year, had been holding out for $37,500. Bob Shaw, an 18-game winner in 1959. surprised the Chicago White Sox when he said he wanted to re-open negotiations on his contract while outfielder Gena Woodling and infielder Bill Klaus officially became Baltimore Orioles holdouts. White Sox Vice President Hank Greenberg said Shaw had agreed to terms but apparently thought it over and still wants another raise. Red Looks Good Manager Charlie Dressen said that both Red Schoendienst and Hal Roach have looked so good at second base for the Milwaukee Braves that he might shift Roach to left field. By coincidence, leftfielder Wes Covington is among the Braves' seven ’holdouts. Other camp news: Willie Mays, Willie Kirkland and Bob Schmidt starred in the San Francisco Giants 5 batting drill at Phoenix, Ariz_ -The Philadelphia Phillies still are wondering when pitcher
