Def roil Pulls Even In Hockey Playoffs By United Preu Internsiiansl The advantage of home ice is being exploited again in the National Hockey League playoffs. The Detroit Red Wings pulled even with the Chicago Black Hawks in the fourth game of their best-of-seven semifinal series Tuesday night by skating to a 4-1 victory at Detroit. It was the Wings’ second straight triumph on their home ice after they dropped the first two at Chicago. The Montreal Canadiens also regained their best form before the home folks — and just in time. They finally beat the Toronto Maple Leafs, 3-1, thus ruining the defending champs’ bid for a four-game sweep. Gordie Howe again scored a key goal in the Red Wings’ triumph. He tallied during a power play early in the second period to give Detroit a 2-9 lead. Bobby Hull, playing with a broken nose, scored later in the session for Chicago but goalie Terry Sawchuk held the Hawks scoreless the rest of the way. Andre Pronovost and Floyd Smith tacked on Detroit’s third and fourth goals; However, it was Howe’s shot that proved to be the winner. Gordie now has four goals in four playoff games. It looked like curtains for the Canadiens when Ron Stewart’s shot put Toronto ahead, 1-0, in the opening period. Montreal, though, streaked ahead, 2-1, on second period goals by Henri Richard and Gilles Tremblay. Tremblay scored again in the final session as 14,094 fans at the Montreal Forum roared their approval. Both series resume Thursday night. Montreal visits Toronto and Chicago entertains Detroit Los Angeles Lakers Rally For Victory By United Press International But for Jerry West, Cliff Hagan of the Hawks would be the toast of St. Louis today. After sitting out the first period of the second game of the Los Angeles Lakers-St. Louis Hawks playoffs Tuesday night, Hagan scored 34 points in 26 minutes of playing time and appeared to be giving the Hawks the needed push to even the series at one game apiece, f But the leakers overcame a 99-92 Hawk lead and tied it at 99-99 with 19 seconds left in the game. With four seconds remaining West stole the ball from Hagan and scored the winning basket —a 25-footer — in the last second. The third game of the best-of-seven series to determine the Western Division playoff champion of the National Basketball Association will be played in St. Louis Thursday night. The fourth game will also be in St. Louis Saturday night. A fifth game, if necessary, would take the clubs back to the Los Angeles Sports Arena. In the Eastern Division playoffs, Cincinnati, leading two games to one, hosts the Boston Celtics in a must game for the visitors, who have won the last four NBA final playoffs.
Wilma Rudolph In Friendship Games WASHINGTON (UPI) — The State Department announced Tuesday that Wilma Rudolph, 23-year-old Olympic track star from Clarksville, Tenn., will attend the African Friendship Games in Senegal in mid-April under the U. S. government’s sponsorship. She will serve in an advisory capacity. Propose SIOO Month Pension To Veterans WASHINGTON (UPI) —Sen. Vance Hartke, D-Ind., and Rep. Winfield K. Denton, D-Ind., have introduced identical measures proposing a SIOO-a-month pension for World War I veterans, regardless of heed or the individual’s wartfrne. service. Hartke' .told a news conference of World War I were slighted on benefits compared to those of World War 11. A sinfflar bill sponsored by Denton last year died when Congress adjourned. Both Republican and Democratic administrations have opposed the measure. On other subjects, Hartke: —Criticized the recent report on foreign aid, prepared by a special presidential committee. Hartke did not agree with the conclusion that the '‘mother countries’* should provide most of the help given the new African nations. —Joined Sen. Birch E.

Mels Showing Best Average During Spring By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer Casey Stengel can’t say whether it’s a miracle or a mirage, but he and his New York Mets are in first place. That’s right, the hapless, helpless, hopeless Mets, who lost a record 120 games in 1962, are f-i-r-s-t in the National League Grapefruit League standings today. They’ve compiled a 14-9 record for a -609 percentage—a half game better than the Houston Colts and 6% games better ?4han the league champion San Francisco Giants. To make another comparison, the Mets’ 14-9 mark is practically the opposite of the lordly world champion New York Yankees, who have only a 10-14 slate to show for their efforts this spring. Ernie Broglio, the St. Louis Cardinals’ opening-day pitcher, limited the Mets to two hits and two runs in seven innings Tuesday but the Mets exploded like the 1927 Yankees in the eighth inning. They poured over five runs and then threw up a defense like the 1931 Athletics in the last two innings to preserve a 7-6 victory that stretched their winning streak to three games. Homer Highlights Rally Highlighting the big rally was Cliff Cook’s third homer of the spring with a runner on base. Ed Kranepool had a double and Larry Burright, Charley Neal, Marv Throneberry and Ron Hunt had singles during the rally. Bill White and Ken Boyer homered for the Cardinals. Jim O’Toole of the Cincinnati Reds, Warren Spahn of the Milwaukee Braves and Camilo Pascual of the Minnesota Twins all turned in important performances during long stints oh the mound. O’Toole yielded only two hits in eight innings and stretched his string of scoreless innings to 22 as the Reds downed the Chicago White Sox, 7-0. Eddie Kasko had four hits and rookie Pete Rose three to lead the Reds’ 14-hit attack. Spahn and Pascual each went the rout in the Braves’ 5-1 triumph over the Twins. Pascual yielded a homer to Lee Maye and a three-run double to Joe Torre in the first inning but then settled down to demonstrate he is ready to open the season. Spahn scattered six hits in a typical performance by the 40-year old Milwaukee star. Mparicte Hita 81am Luis Aparicio hit a grand slam homer and Dick Brown also homered to lead the Baltimore Orioles to a 9 2 romp overxthe Washington Senators. Chuck Estrada went the first seven innings for the Orioles and was tagged for five hits, including a two-run homer by Don Lock. Two-run homers by Willie Mays and Felipe Alou carried the Giants to a 6-3 decision over the Cleveland Indians. A two-run homer by Fred Whitfield and a double by Walter Bond were the big blows for the Indians. Ernie Fazio homered and Rusty Staub had a key double to lead the Houston Colts to a 9-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Don Notebart and Hal Woodeshick held the Angels to seven hits. Bob Turley, former Yankee ace attempting a comeback, was bombed for five runs in three innings A’s Beat Tigers Ted Bowsfield and Ed Rakow collaborated in a four-hitter that enabled the Kansas City Athletics to defeat die Detroit Tigers, 4-0. The A’s nicked 16-game winner Hank Aguirre for two runs in the second inning and added two more against Bob Anderson in the eighth. Haywood Sullivan drove in three of the runs with two singles and a double. Don Drysdale, Pete Richert and Ed Roebuck pitched a one-hitter as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the University of New Mexico, 4-0, in Albuquerque, N.M. Coach Pete Reiser appeared as a pinchhitter against the collegians and drove in the final Dodger run with a single. Grass Fire Results In Department Call The fire department was called to extinguish another grass fire this morning, the latest one located at the Don Forst residence, 9u9 Mercer Ave. The firemen received the call at 10:10 a. m., and had-no trouble extinguishing the fire. There was no damage done to anything other than the area where the grass burned.

Attacks On Boxing Politically-Inspired HAGERSTOWN, Ind. (UPD— Arch Hindman, executive secretary of the World Boxing Association, said Monday “legislating boxing out of existence solves nothing” despite political charges to the contrary. He said the attacks on the sport as a result of Davey Moore’s death were politically-inspired and that the “most capable and most dedicated” men were engaged in supervising what “may well be the only truly international sport.” In a prepared statement, Hindman said politicians’ criticism of boxing is a reflection on athletic commissions. “The attack on the sport by men in the political field can only cause commission members to lose face and faith in their assigned duties,” said Hindman. He pointed out supervisors are working to make boxing safer through other things. The National Boxing Research and Education Foundation, whose originator, Dr. Charles P. Larson of Tacoma, Wash., cited boxing as a fine conditioner of young men—a program that fits well into the physical fitness program advocated by President Kennedy. However, Larson pointed out boxing needs an up-to-date safety codeThe foundation’s main purpose is to advance the sport of boxing, Hindman said. “Our youth should not grow up to become flabby Americans,” he said. “They should be taught the manly art of self defense . . . “Politicians would do well to support the foundation’s work and they should have the confidence in the capable, qualified and dedicated commission members.” Hindman said appointment of qualified men in supervisory positions in the field of boxing will do more toward putting sport into boxing and do more for the game than all the politician’s news releases that demand the sport be legislated put of existence. * < Russian Moon Probe Whizzes Through Space MOSCOW (UPI) — The Soviet Union’s fourth unmanned moon probe whizzed through space toward its destination today and was reported functioning normally after covering more than half the 230,000-mile journey. The official Soviet Tass Hews agency said the Lunik-4 space probe had traveled 134,215 miles in the first 24 hours of its planned 3%-day flight to the “vicinity” of the moon. But Soviet scientists shed no light on speculation that the 1%ton space vehicle might make a moon landing. The scientists, some of whom made open predictions Tuesday that the moon will be the first space body visited by man, were more cautious in their outlook today. They said the moon holds many mysteries which must be solved before interplanetary flights can be attempted by man, Yuri Gagarin, the first man to go into space, hailed the Lunik 4 as “another big victory” for the Soviet Union in its race with the United States to put the first man on the moon. Tass quoted him as saying that the latest probe is “blazing a trail to the moon for cosmonauts.” He also said he believed there will be more flights of automatic space stations and animals before man undertakes a trip to the moon. But he said the important thing is that man does not have too long to waitThe Soviet military newspaper Red Star warned the West today of the power of an “orbital bomb” that uses the same basic principle as the launching of the latest moonshot. The Defense Ministry organ, in publicizing the military implica tions of the space shot, accused the West of using space for military and spying purposes. Tass aid Lunik 4, which was launched Tuesday and is expected to reach its target late Friday or early Saturday, is relaying radio telemetric information showing that all systems are working normally.

New Pittsburgh Stadium Issue Is At Impasse * PITTSBURGH (UPI) — Barring an unexpected pennant victory, the game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs next Sept. 18 could be the last major league baseball contest played here. This possibility increased today following statements by protagonists in a municipal stadium controversy that their positions were unchangable. Tom Johnson, vice president of the Pirates, said Tuesday the club cannot pledge more than $2 million in the form of guaranteeing bonds for the $45 million stadium. jCan Go No Further “WroH go no further,” Johnson said. “I’m afraid we will have to take some other action and leave the city.” Allegheny (Pittsburgh) County Commission Chairman Dr. William D. McClelland said the Pirates will have to do better than the figure quoted by Johnson. The county is being asked to contribute $575 million to the project and guarantee a $23 million bond issue. “The people cannot carry all this load for the...fortunes of any particular individual or individuals,” McClelland said. “Where the money comes from is up to Mr. Johnson and Mr. Galbreath (John Galbreath, Pirates owner) and anyone else that might be interested.” Says Issue At Impasse Johnson said the issue was at an impasse and as far as the Pirates were concerned there would be no further negotiations unless the commissioners are willing to bargain on the premise that $2 .million is all the club will invest. Both the Pirates and the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League would play in the new' stadium. Their leases at Forbes Field, which is Scheduled for razing by the University of Pittsburgh, expire this year.

Masters Opens Thursday At Augusta, Ga. AUGUSTA, Ga. (UPD —Arnold Palmer, going contrary to all tradition, singled out newcomer Tony Lerna today as a good bet to become the only golfer in history ever to win the Masters on his first try. “I realize no first-timer ever has won here before,” said the 33-year-old Palmer, who will be seeking his fourth Masters’ title starting Thursday, "but that doesnot mean it can’t happen. “And if it does happen, Lerna could be the boy to do it. Man, have you seen some of his drives? He hits ’em clear out of sight. I like the rest of his game, too.” In On “A Pass” Lerna, a slender, good, looking 29-year-old pro from Oakland, Calif., is in the Masters on “a pass. He was invited only a few weeks ago because of his outstanding play on the fall tour and is honest enough to admit his knees still are shaking a bit. “I’m sorry it I seem preoccupied,” he apologized while beating a bagful of balls on the practice tee, “but this is my first time here and I’m still trying to get my bearings. “I can understand why they say it takes a few years to get the feel of being in the MastersI’m honored just to have been invited—why, some of the men in this tournament like (Gene) Sarazen and (Byron) Nelson I only know from reading about. “A man who was invited here for the first time and didn’t feel the magnitude of this event would have to \be numb.’’ Still, there are other fine golfers besides Palmer who think the rangy Lerna has an excellent chance to shatter precedent. Lema Has Equipment “Ordinarily, you have to stick with Palmer and some of the boys who have done It in the past, says former PGA champ Jay Hebert, ‘but don’t sell a fellow like Lema short. I like the way he’s been playing lately and he has the equipment to win here.” Wally Burkemo, another former PGA champ, thinks so, too. “He’s one of those long knockers who can carry most of these hills with his drives,” Burkemo said. "The first time out here is always rough. You; gotta get used to hitting in the’rwater and you gotta know when to go for it and when not to. “But if one of these new boys is going to do it, I’d put my money on Lema. He looks like he knows what to do with those 14 sticks.” Lema, winner of four tournaments last fall, has played in nine so far this year and finished in the top 10 in seven of them. ’ ’

Minnie Minoso Is Sold To Senators POMPANO BEACH, Fla. (UPI) —Minnie Minosa. one of the game’s most consistent ,300-hitters until he was injured in a collision with an outfield fcnca last season, is returning to the American League as a member of the Washington Senators. The Senators acquired the 40-year-old Cuban from the St. Louis Cardinals Tuesday for a reported $40,000 and a minor league player to be sent to the Cardinals later. Minoso suffered a fractured skull and a broken left arm when he crashed into a wall last May 11 and wound up hitting only .196 in 39 games for the Cardinals. Minoso has a .303 lifetime batting average for 13 major league seasons, most of them spent with the Cleveland Indians and Chicago White Sox. Anti-Casfro Cuban Exiles Are Jailed NASSAU, Bahamas (UPI) —Authorities held 16 anti-Castro Cuban exiles in jail today in the first test of a tough new U.S. policy against Cuban raids launched from the United States. The sixteen exiles and an American, Jerry Buchanan, 24, of Miami, were arrested Sunday at Norman Key about 80 miles from Nassau when they pulled in to refuel their 30-foot power boat and pick up a passenger. But a second attack boat escaped capture and has been prowling the Caribbean for two days, apparently awaiting orders to attack the Cuban coast or searching for a Communist merchant ship bound for Havana. British authorities aboard the frigate Londonderry which brought the exiles to Nassau reported the raiders’ boat carried “high caliber” weapons and arms, including rifles, machineguns and two anti aircraft cannon. The 16 exiles in the party were remanded to jail Tuesday after a hearing on charges of carrying arms without a license. They will receive another hearing. Six pleaded guilty and ten innocent. Headquarters of the anti-Castro group in Miami said Tuesday night they had not heard from the other attack boat since Monday night, when it was about 40 miles off the Cuban coastDriver Arrested On Three Charges Oscar Thomas Ray, 49, route, 6, Decatur, will appear in city court Monday morning, April 8, to answer to three charges. Ray was arrested at midnight Tuesday on Mercer Ave. and charged with driving while under the influence, public intoxication and reckless driving. He was released from custody this morning after posting bond.
