Commodores Plan I Baseball Workouts Decatur Catholic coach George Waning said this morning that baseball workouts will begin the first of next week. The pitchers and catchers will report Monday for workouts in the gymnasium, with the rest of the squad reporting the following week. Practice sessions will begin out side as soon as weather permits. Waning is currently lining up a 13 or 14-game card for the Commodores and prospects for a fine season are very good. Last season’s team was made up entirely of underclassmen. The Commodores open their season at Columbia City Wednesday, April 8.

1 Play Opens Today > In Doral Golf Open ■ MIAMI (UPI) — Julius (Moose) Boros, the golfer of the year in 1963, named Jack Njck1 laus as the man they’d all have J to beat in 1964 when play ‘ opened today in the $50,000 Doral Invitational golf champion1 ship. Ten tournaments this year have produced 'lO different win- ( ners but Boros, who won his second U.S. Open title last year, ' asserted that Nicklaus appears t ready to sprint front and center. “Arnold Palmer hasn’t been playing well and may have trouble getting back that big touch,” Boros analyzed. *’B u t - Nicklaus has the game to dominate golf now that the tour is moving onto the good, big courses.” Up to now, Boros held, it has been a “pinball game” on courses which made the early tournaments “nothing but putting contests.” “But now when you get on the courses where you must have all the shots,” said the hammering Hungarian, “the cream will come to the top. And there isn’t much better cream around than Nicklaus."— A 153-man field started out a four - day quest this morning for the $7,500 first prize with 15 foreign hopefuls shooting for what would be the first three-in-a-row win for invaders. The last two tournaments have been won by South African Gary Player and Australian Bruce Devlin. Tri-State Cage Bird Show Here In Fall Announcement was made today by Archie Smitley, of east of Decatur, that a Tri-State cage bird show will be held at the Decatur Youth and Community Center Oct. 30, 31 and Nov. 1, the first show of this type ever to be presented in this city. Smitley, a member of the association. and a retired General Electric Co. employe, has long raised cage show birds as a hobby. AM types of canaries, para- ' Ifeets, atld other cage birds will be shown, and several hundred entries are expected. There will be no admission charge to the show. Faster Drying - Stockings and socks dry much more quickly if, after washing, rinsing, and wringing, you’ll run a hand through each one all the way to the toe to separate them thoroughly.

Giants Outlast Cleveland In 15-13 Victory By CURT BLOCK UPI Sports Writer Manager Alvin Dark was grinning broadly Wednesday when his San Francisco Giants led the Cleveland Indians, 15-4, after three innings. The Indians, though, wiped the smile off Dark’s face with a strong comeback and had the tying run at the plate in the ninth inning. But it all ended happily for Park as the Giants outlasted Cleveland, 15-13, in a game that .featured 40 hits, eight errors and 42 participants. San Francisco’s “terrible trio” of Willie Mays, Willie McCovey and Orlando Cepeda played only three innings but contributed nine hits and nine RBl’s, as the Giants picked up their ninth exhibition win in 10 starts. Three of Cleveland’s 17 hits were for the distance and came off the bats of Fred Whitfield, Mike De La Hoz and Wally Post. Sox Nip Senators The Chicago White Sox scored all their runs in the first three innings and nipped the Washington Senators, 3-2. Relief specialist Hoyt Wilhelm worked three perfect innings allowing only two balls to be hit out of the infield. The New York Mets won their first game of the spring and the New York Yankees got their first exhibition home run. The National Leaguers beat Philadelphia, 4-1, in 10 innings on a pinch - hit single by Jim Hickman. Jack Fisher, Tracy Stallard and Ed Bauta limited the Phils to five base hits. The Yankees combined Joe Pepitone’s grand slam homer with five Kansas City errors for a 9-4 victory. Hank Aaron powered a home run and a triple in his first two trips to the plate as Milwaukee made it four in a row with a 7-4 triumph over Minnesota. Sophomore Jim Hall gave the Twins an early advantage with his third round tripper of the exhibition season but three Minnesota infield errors opened the gates for the Braves. . Davis Hits Jfomer . -* National batting chanson Tommy Davis blasted his second homer in as many days as the Dodgers four - hit Baltimore, 3-1. Don Drysdale and Johnny Podres each went four frames and allowed one hit. Ron Perranowski worked the last inning. The St. Louis Cardinals suffered their first defeat of the spring, 13-4, at the hands of the Detroit Tigers. Newly acquired Don Demeter, got the Tigers off on the right foot with a threerun, first inning triple, as Detroit capitalized on nine walks ancT 12 hits. " Houston Wasted Joey Jay and the Cincinnati Reds for a 9-2 victory. Jay was the victim of a six run rally which featured a double by rookie Ivan Murrell and a pinch - hit single by Walt Bond, both of which knocked in ‘ tiwo runs. Mack Kuykendall’s two run single in the ninth inning enabled the Cubs to edge the Red Sox, 10-9. Alex Hannum Named NBA Coach of Year NEW YORK (UPI) — Alex Hannum of San Francisco, the man who converted high scoring Wilt Chamberlain into a top playmaker, has been named UPI “Coach of The Year” in the National Basketball Association.

Wave Myers Added To Ball State Staff MUNCIE, Ind. (UPI) - Charles (Wave) Myers, Marion High School football coach the past four years, today was announced M assistant grid coaoh and physical education instructor at Ball State Teachers College. Myers will joint the Cardinal staff this summer and serve as varsity line coach. Reds Confident Os Chance At National Flag (EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the fourth of 20 dispatches on the 1964 prospects of the major league baseball teams). By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor TAMPA, Fla. (UPI) —The Cincinnati Reds are out to prove that their fifth place finish in 1963 was a mistake. From Manager Freddie Hutchinson on down they think they have a good chance of winning the National League pennant. “And we can do it,” insists Hutch, well on his way to winning his fight against cancer, “without any of our players having outstanding years. All they have to do is to play up to their potential.” The three men who hurt the Reds most last year were outfielder Frank Robinson and pichers Joey Jay and Bob Purkey. Robinson, who had hit .342 in 1962 with 39 home runs and 139 runs batted in, slumped off last season to .259 with only 21 HR’s and 91 RBl’s. Jay, who won 21 games in 1962, won only seven last year while losing 18. Purkey, a 23 - game winner in ’62, won only six last season. “They have got to do better if we are to win,” Hutchinson said. “But we all know they are better than what they showed last season.” Others Disappointing As a matter of fact, Hutchinson pointed out that three other Reds, too, didn’t measure up to expectations, first baseman Gordy Coleman, shortstop Leo Cardenas and catcher Johnny Edwards. Those six, along with sopho- ; mdNh •saoond baseman Pete Rose, center fielder Yada Pinson and pitchers Jim Maloney, Jim O’Toole, John Tsitotiris and Joe Nuxhall form the backbone of the Reds. oi “They need help from the, others, of course,” Hutch explains. “But on their records they figure to be our big men. Our fate is in their hands. ’ Like all other clubs, the Reds have some problems. They are counting on Tommy Harper, a sophomore who played the outfield most of last season, or rookie Chico Ruiz to fill a big gap at third base. And Harper would only be available for duty there if Bob Skinner can win the left field job. The Reds catching is a bit on the thin side, too, after Edwards. So it stacks up like this: Outfield Lineup An outfield of Robinson, Pinson and Skinner with Marty Keough, who also can play first, and either Mel Queen or Deron Johnson,, both San Diego graduates, for utility duty. An infield of Coleman, Rose, Cardenas and either Harper or Ruiz. Harper is the big hope. Charlie Neal, who seems to have improved since he started wearing glasses this spring, may stick as a utility man. A catching staff of Edwards, a real workhorse, with either Hal Smith, who appears over the hill or Jim Campbell, a Houston Colt discard like Smith, as the second man. Starting pitchers — Maloney, 23-7 last season; O’Toole, 17-14; Tsitorius, 12-8 and one of the best right handers in the league over the last third of last season; NuxhaU, 15-8; Jay and Purkey. Relief pitchers — Bill Henry, only 1-3 last season, the No. 1 left hander and the veteran ,A1 Worthington, 4-4, the No. 1 right hander. Don Mossi Sold To . Chicago White Sox SARASOTA, Fla. (UPl)—Lefthander Don Mossi made his third stop along the American League circuit Wednesday when he was sold by the Detroit Tigers to the Chicago , White Sox for the $20,000 waiver price. The 34-year-old southpaw broke into the majors 10 years ago when he and Ray Narleski formed the nucleus of a bullpen staff that led the Cleveland Indians to the American League championship.

Rex Mundi Ist Parochial Team To Reach Finals ..Third of fear stories on the ftaalists -ta .the -Indiana .high school basketball tourney. By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Evansville Rex Mundi, which had its share of troubles getting here, isn’t awed by Lafayette’s record or reputation in Saturday’s Indiana high school basketball tourney finals. The Monarchs have already made tourney history and they figure to keep going. They have racked up a number ot firsts— Jrom first - time sectional champs to first-time semi-state winners—and they are the first parochial team in the state finals.; . “We are surprised and happy to make it,” said young Jerry Altstadt, “and that’s an understatement. We thought we could win the sectional last year and the year before, but I guess the third time was the charm.” Playing varsity ball for only five years, the Monarchs had their hands full in the local sectional and regional tourneys but last Saturday’s semi-state tourney at Evansville was a relative breather. Youngest Coach In the sectional, Mount Vernon held the ball on Rex Mundi, which finally won, 27-25, and city rival North gave the Monarchs a hard time before bowing, 68-56. But when Mater Dei took out Evansville Central, “that didn’t hurt us a bit,” grinned Altstadt. In the regional, Rex Mundi had to scrap all the way to eliminate Tell City, 69-66, but the next three games against Princeton, Martinsville and Seymour were considerably easier. Altstadt, at 29 the youngest ot the four coaches in the state finals, sends his boys against Lafayette’s powerhouse in the second afternoon game Satur--1 day — probably their toughest test to date. know Lafayette is real . tough and aH we have are . scouting reports,”., said the i j coach. “But I think if we continue to have the luck of past i tourney games, we can go all ! , the way.” Altstadt said the key to his ' team’s success has been scoring 7 balance, rebounding and an “overall good attitude.” , “We don’t have the ‘one’ boy,” he said. “Team work is what got us this far—that and luck.” Earl Schneider, a 6-4 junior, is Rex Mundi’s top scorer with an., average of about 17 points per game. Jerry Mattingly and Nick Adams are hitting about 13 per game, little Al Heard (5-7) about 12 and 6-4 sophomore Mike Owens 10. Rebounds Pay Off “Owens has been coming real strong in the rebound department,” said Altstadt. He averaged 11 per game in eight tour- ' ney games, Schneider 10, Adams 9 and Mattingly 8. Martinsville and Seymour in 1 the semi-state felt Rex Mundi’s board work probably more than any other victim in eight tourney games. Mundi has averaged better » than 70 points per game in the I tourney and its defensive rec- ■ ord of 53.3 is second only to Huntington’s 46.4. ■ Should Rex Mundi go all the way; it would be a tremendous double triumph for the Catho1 ■ lies since Loogootee St. John s : became the first parochial school to win the Wabash Val- ’ ley tourney in January. The boys from the Ohio Riv- ■ er city served notice they were : ready. “We’re not coming up for ' just a party,” said Altstadt.
