Keane Thinks Cardinals May Take Pennant (EDITOR’S NOTE> This is the second of 20 dispatches on the 1964 prospects of the major league baseball clubs.) By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (UPl)—The St. Louis Cardinals surprised them last season when they finished second and Manager Johnny Keane thinks they can surprise them even lAore this year. He thinks the club is going to be better, although admitting he has an outfield problem. “Everyone on this club shares my feeling that we can do better than last year and the only way we can is to win the pennant,” Keane says, “we all know we have a mighty good shot at it all.” I Keane, a frank manager who admitted he didn’t expect the Cardinals to give the Los Angeles Dodgers the run they did 1 for the National League pen- , nant last year, philosophized that: “We’ve got to be better because we know we came so close last year (the Cardinals finished six games behind .the Dodgers), and that has got to boost our confidence.” Weakness in Outfield He insists he is not worried about his outfield — the one weakness rival managers find in the Cardinal setup. He has a fixture in centerfield in Curt Flood. He thinks Charley James will take care of right field and he’s planning on platooning the right-handed hitting Carl Warwick and the lefthanded hitting Doug Clemens in left. “I don’t think the outfield is such a big problem for it has to be better defensively,” Keane said. He has a set infield. It’s Bill White at first base, Julian Javier at second, Dick Groat at short and heavy hitting Ken Boyer at third. First stringer Tim McCarvef and Jim Coker will take care of the catching. It could be the Cardinals will wind up short of pennant caliber in this department. Pitching figures to be the Cardinals’ strong point, although they do not have an outstanding relief hurler. Starting Pitchers Keane is counting on left handers Curt Simmons (15-9) and Ray Sadecki (10-10) and right handers’ Bob Gibson (18-9) and Ernie Broglio (18-8) as regular starters. His fifth starter could be Roger Craig, the tough luck pitcher of the Mets the past two seasons when he won only 15 games while losing 46. Actually, Keane would prefer to have Craig in his bullpen. And that’s where he will wind up if Ray Washburn conquers his arm trouble. This right hander started off strong last season and then came up with a* sore arm, winding up with Tulsa. His top bullpen men will be little Bobby Shantz, the left hander, and Ron Taylor, the right hander. That leaves the veteran Lew Burdette for long relief and spot starting assignments. Bill Wolfe To Leave Thursday For Camp Bill Wolfe of Decatur will leave Thursday for spring -training in Tucson. Ariz. Monday’s Daily Democrat erroneously stated he had left last Thursday. South Bend Riley Net Coach Resigns SOUTH BEND. Ind. (UPD — Lcn Rzeszeyski Monday resigned as basketball coach at South Bend Riley High school, effective immediately while saying “it’s no fun losing.” Rzeszewski, 40, said he hoped to remain on the school faculty. He was Riley coach for six years but never had a winning sdason. Pro Basketball Philadelphia 111, San Francisco 110. Theft Os Hubcaps Reported To Police Dick Habegger, route 1, Monroe resident, reported the theft of four hubcaps to the city .police Monday afternoon. Habegger said he discovered the theft around 10:30 p.m. Saturday. The four deluxe model hubcaps were valued at an approximate total of S4O.

Monbouquette Appears Ready To Hurl Opener By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer Bill Monbouquette’s smile of satisfaction today is a warning to American League rivals that the Boston Red Sox pitcher means it when he says he’ll improve on his 20 victories of 1963. A hard man to please, Monbouquette says tie wasn’t as good a pitcher tn 1963 as he was when he had marks of 14-14 and 15-13 in 1961 and 1962 respectively.' And he’s been saying all spring that he’ll make 1964 the best season he’s ever had in the majors. The Cleveland Indians are inclined to believe him after Monbouquette’s six innings of three-hit, shutout pitching in Monday’s 5-4 victory by the Red Sox at Tucson, Ariz. Monbouquette is now one of the most advanced pitchers on either the Grapefruit or Cactus circuit and obviously is being groomed to open the AL season for the Red Sox. Took Big Lead The Red Sox gave their star pitcher a big cushion when they scored four runs in the fifth inning on singles by Dalton Jones and Jerry Dorsch and doubles by Tony Conigliaro and Tony Hortn. It was only the Red Sox’ second win in nine exhibition games. At Vero Beach, Fla., meanwhile, base-stealing champion Maury Wills of the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers predicted that he may win the National League batting title this year. “Some day I’m going to win the batting title,” said Wills, who hit .302 last season, “and this could be the year.” The Los Angeles Angels gained their sixth win in nine exhibition games by downing the Chicago Cubs, 12-5. Thirtysix players saw action in the game with Angel relief specialist Julio Navarro the most effective pitcher on the strength of a two-inning hitless stint in which he struck out three batters. Floyd Robinson’s grand slam homer with two out in the ninth inning lifted the Chicago White Sox to a 5-4 triamph over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Robinson’s homer was off Earl Francis who had filled the bases with two walks and a hit batsman. Berra is Winner Yogi Berra became a victorious manager for the first time when the New York Yankees beat the Houston Colts, 5-0, behind the one-hit pitching of Bill Stafford, Rollie Sheldon, Steve Hamilton and Tom Metcalif. Bobby Lillis singled off Stafford in the third inning for the Houston hit. Denny Lemaster, Bob Sadowski and Bob Tiefenauer collaborated in a two-hitter as the Milwaukee Braves defeated the •Baltimore Orioles, 1-0. The Braves scored their run in the first inning when Mack Jones beat out a bunt, continued to third on Brooks Robinson’s wild throw and tallied on an apparent double by Lee Maye, who was declared out for failing to touch first base. Jim King homered as the Washington Senators nipped the Kansas City Athletics, 3-2, Jeff Long and Jerry Buchek homered to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 6-3 win over the Detroit Tigers, the Cincinnati Reds topped the Minnesota Twins, 7-6, in 10 innings and the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies played a 9-9 tie in other games.

mA > Kt k ■ M it CHEW, CHEW TRAINEE— Baseball players used to chew tobacco, but today’s crop of rookies gnaws on bubble gum. Mets’ recruit pitcher Jan Wall gobbles several sticks at a time in the New York training camp in St. Petersburg, Fla. He says it helps him get a suntan on the lower part of his cheeks.

Million Mexicans Cheer de Gaulle MEXICO CITY (U£D— President Charles de Gaulle today began an official round of sightseeing and ceremonial activity today on the second day of his visit to Mexico. The first scheduled stop was a wreath - laying at Mexico’s independence monument. Other events on the French president’s official schedule included a tour of a housing development, a formal lunch with Mexican President Adolfo Lopez Mateos, a visit to the Mexican capital and a white-tie supper expected to keep the 73-year-old visitor up until nearly midnight. De Gaulle and Lopez will be closeted together for an hour tonight at the presidential residence in Los Pinos where the French president and his wife are staying during their fourday visit to Mexico. It will. be the second of a series of meetings for the two presidents. An estimated million Mexicans turned out to cheer De Gaulle on his arrival here Monday. The principal highlight of the arrival proceedings, so far as most Mexicans were concerned, was a speech he made in heavily accented but understandable Spanish from a balcony at the Mexican “white house.” -- te ■ Little Damage Done In Truck Fire Here Local firemen were called to a 13th street service station at 6:25 p.m. Monday to extinguish a / truck fire. A semi-truck, passing through this city, was reportedly having fuel pump trouble and while stopped at the station, a backfire caused a small fire in the truck’s motor. Damage to the vehicle was minor, however.

Lafayette Has Veteran Team In Final Meet First of four stories on the finalists in the Indiana high school basketball tourney. By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Lafayette’s Bronchos are knocking on the throne room to the Indiana high school basketball crown for the seventh time in recent years and this could well be the time for Marion Crawley to get his fourth championship ring. The foxy Crawley had a pair of winners with Washington more than 20 years ago and piloted Lafayette to its second state title in 1948. Since then his Jeffmen have made it to the four-team finals in 1950, 1951, 1952, 1956, 1957, 1963 and again now. They were runnersup in 1950 and 1956 and lost wdth an ailing club to eventual champion Muncie Central in the afternoon round last year, 73-71. Crawley has four starters back from that outfit and his latest crew compiled a sparkling 26-1 record and won the North Central Conference crown. Lafayette also is the only former champion left. Expects Tough Game Lafayette meets state finals newcomer Evansville Rex Mundi in Saturday’s preliminaries of the grand finale and figures to stay alive to take on the Columbus-Huntington survivor for the title. But Crawley, whose team was beaten only by Tipton during the regular season, indicated he is going into the state finals “one game at a time.” “I expect a very tough ball game,” he said of Rex Mundi. “We respect them because they are a strong, well - balanced team.” Crawley only has scouting reports on the Evansville crew, but he has seen both Huntington and unbeaten Columbus and said both were “as fine teams aa as we’ve had here.” Crawley’s No. 1 problem is keeping Denny Brady, his star guard, healthy. Brady reinjured his knee in the sectionals, practically sat out the regional '■ but was the second-highest scorer in Saturday's semi-state tourneys with 46 points. It was his long-range barrage that set the stage for the demise of Gary Tolles ton. Terry Stillabower has also had knee troubles, but nothing r( of any consequence recently. Dave Morrison, Stu Miller and Jack Walkey are other standouts for . the Bronchos, who had two tough games since the tourney grind began. They turned back-'“ neighboring West .Lafayette by just five points, 64-59, and won semi-state honors from Valparaiso by six, 73-67. Valpo Surprise “Valparaiso surprised me a lot with their shooting and general offense,” said Crawley. “The turning point was when

Quarter-Finals In NIT This Evening NEW YORK (UPI) — Two teams which have made the saying — the best offense is a strong defense — pay off, New Mexico and Drake, clash tonight in a quarter-final round game of the National Invitation Basketball tournament. In the second game, Army meets third-seeded Duquesne to conclude the quarter-finals. New Mexico, 21-5, boasts the nation’s strongest defense, yielding an average of 55.7 points per game. The Bulldogs, ranked 13th nationally, allowed the opposition an average of 61 points per game while compiling a 20-6 record. In the opening round, Drake stopped Pittsburgh, 87-82, the most points the defense has permitted this season. The Lobos received a first round bye. The winner of the Army-Du-quesne game advances to the semifinals to meet Bradley. The Drake-New Mexico survivor, faces New York University in Thursday’s other semifinal. J . '— • we hit our free throws. We hit 23 of 24 attempts and beat them at their own game.” For years, Valpo coach Virgil Sweet has disciplined his boys in the art of free throw shooting and as a team, the Vikings averaged better than 75 per cent of their attempts from the 15-foot stripe. Lafayette lost only to Tipton, 72-67, in the finals of Crawley’s holiday tourney last December. “They were up for us and hit better than 60 per cent of thenshots,” he recalled. “That caugh* us a bit off balance.” * Crawley said he was making no special preparations for the big showdown. “We don’t intend to change our strategy,” he said. “We’D go along with what’s been working for us. We usually use 7-8 boys in a game but this is as tough a field as we have had and we have to go with our starters all the way.”

Liston Slated For Court Trial In June DENVER (UPI) — Deposed heavyweight champion Sonny Liston has a date in Denver Municipal Court June 9 to answer four traffic charges and one accusing him of carrying a concealed weapon. Liston pleaded innocent to the charges Monday through his attorney and asked Judge Dan Diamond for a jury trial. Liston was not present in court, but made his plea through attorney Donald L. Lozow. The four traffic charges include speeding, careless driving, reckless driving and driving without a valid operator’s license. • Still undetermined is whether Denver authorities can charge, Liston under a new state law making it a felony for an exconvict to carry a concealed weapon. Liston has a felony record in Missiouri, but the Colorado law does not clearly state whether or not the felony must occur in Colorado. The new state law carries a penalty of 10 years in the state penitentiary upon cinvitcion. Colorado Atty. Gen. Duke W. Dunbar has been asked by Dist. Atty. Bert M. Keating for a ruling on the juestion. Dunbar said Monday he had requested a full report on Liston’s record and would make no decision until he gets it.

Hornung Faces Tough Task In Regaining Job By OABT KALB UPI Sports Writer Paul Hornung, the "Golden Boy” of pro football, cleared one hurdle today but faces another — earning a place in the Green Bay Packer starting lineup. Hornung and Detroit All-Star tackle Alex Karras returned to the good graces of the National Football League Monday when Commissioner Pete Rokelle lifted their one-year suspension for betting. A three • time NFL scoring champion, Hornung will battle Tom Moore for the job he once held’ so securely. And if Hornung thinks this is easy, he should recall the story of Wally Pipp. The New York Yankee first baseman took a day off back in 1925 and never returned to the starting lineup. A youngster named Lou Gehrig took over that day and the rest is history. Moore was the eighth leading ground gainer in the NFL last season with 658 yards and a 5.0 yard average per carry. He scored six touchdowns. Hornung and Karras were banned from the NFL last April 17 “indefinitely” for placing bets ranging from 850 to SSOO mostly on their own teams to win. They missed the entire 1963 season and their absences sent the Packers and Lions reeling to unaccustomed lower posii. tions in the standings. ’ Rozelle conferred privately > with ex-Notre Darner Hornung I on March 7 and talked to the - 840-pound Karras, a former ■ lowa star, on March 14. s The commissioner said the t players have a “clearer understanding of the seriousness’* “<d i their folly and that missing last s season’s schedule was punishment enough for Hornung and • Karras. Following Rozelle’s announcei ment, Green Bay Coach Vince r Lombardi and Detroit mentor 1 George Wilson immediately de--1 nied any intention of trading - the NFL’s reformed “bad » boys.”
