Mantle Blasts Two Homers In Yanks' Victory By SANDY PADWE DPI Sporti Writer The tension and anxiety over Mickey Mantle’s physical condition have eased a bit for the New York Yankees. Ilie powerful centerfielder hit two home runs which carried the Yankees to a 6-4 victory over Cincinnati, Sunday but the final score wasn’t the most important development of the day for the American League champions. Mantle’s health has been the top question in the Yankee camp this spring and his performance Sunday in Tampa, Fla., showed he is progressing fairly well after an off-season knee operation. Both home runs came from the righthand side and they accounted for three Yankee runs. Now the big questions will be what affect the operation has on his fielding and his swing from the lefthand side. Notched 10 Hits Mantle’s homers were two of 10 hits the Yankees collected off Joe Nuxhall and Al Worthington. Bill Stafford, Steve Hamilton, Hal Reniff and Jack Cullen pitched for New York and allowed Cincinnati nine hits, including three by shortstop Leo Cardenas. Mantle wasn’t the only star in Florida Sunday. Sandy Koufax of the Los Angeles Dodgers became the first pitcher in either league to go nine innings, but he lost his third straight exhibition decision. He has one victory. Koufax lost to the Minnesota Twins, 3-1, despite allowing five hits and striking out seven. A two-run homer by Jimmie Hall was the big blow off Koufax. Outfielder Wolie Horton continued his sensational spring showing for the Detroit Tigers Sunday, hitting home runs in both games as the Tigers swept a doubleheader from the Chicago White Sox, 2-1 and 3-0. , Horton’# home run <in the opener came in the ninth inning when he was sent up as a pinchhitter. His two home runs raised his spring total to five. Extends Scoreless String Carlton Willey extended his string of scoreless innings to 17 in an 8-3 New York Met victory over Washington. Willey pitched three innings for the Mets who broke Washington’s five-game win streak. Tim Harknes had a home run and a double for the Mets. —— — r ——. — A two-out single by Bill White in the 11th inning enabled St. Louis to defeat Milwaukee, 6-5, and end the Braves’ winning streak at seven games. Utility infielder Julio Gotay hit two home runs and drove in five runs with four hits while leading the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 13-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. In other games, Baltimore defeated the Houston Colts “B” team, 2-1. The Colts’ “A” team also lost, 2-1, to Kansas City. In the t West, Al Luplow’s home run gave the Cleveland Indians a 7-6’ victory over the Los Angeles Angels’ “B” team; the Chicago Cubs defeated the San Francisco Giants, 11-7; and the Boston Red Sox defeated the Los Angeles Angels’ “A” team, 6-4, in 13 innings, with Dick Radatz receiving the victory.

Cincinnati Royals Win First Playoff By United Press International The Cincinnati Royals have earned the chance they’ve been waiting for, and tonight St. Louis and Los Angeles meet for a similar prize. The Royals defeated the Philadelphia 76ers, 130-124, Sunday night to advance into the National Basketball Association's* Eastern Division finals against the world champion Boston Celtics. The Hawks add Lakers, deadlocked at two games apiece, will meet at St Louis tonight to determine who will meet San Francisco in the Western Division finals. The Royals didn’t have an easy time with the injuryplagued 76ers in the fifth game of their series at Cincinnati. The 76ers, with Lee Shaffer,' Larry Costello and Dave Gambee, playing minor roles due to injuries, managed to stay close to Cincinnati all evening, but in the end, Oscar Robertson was the big difference. He conriected on all nine of his field goal attempts in the second half after being held to just six points in the first two periods. Robertson, who made 12 of 12 from the foul line, wound up with 32 points and set up 36 more with 18 assists. He had plenty of help from Arlen Bockhorn who had 23 points, Jack Twyman with 22 points and Tom Hawkins with 18 points and 10 rebounds in a relief role. Cincinnati had an excellent night from the field, making 56 per cent of its shots. And on the foul line the Royals made 24 of 26. Johnny Kerr, with 31 points, Chet Walker with 27 and Paul Neumann with 22 were high for Philadelphia. The Royals-Celtics series should be extremely tough. Cincinnati has the season’s edge with the Celtics, 7-5, but Red Auerbach’s club is well-rested and waiting for a start on their sixth straight world’s title. Besselink Leads In Azalea Open WILMINGTON, N.C. (UPD — “Golf is a tough game,” says Al Besselink, “and it’s harder to play when you’re in the lead.” He should know. For two days now, he’s had the lead in the $20,000 Azalea Open * and with $2,700 in top prize money at stake, he went into today’s final round with the pressure at its peak. The 39-year-old pro from Merchantville, N.J. shot a par 72 over the windy Cape Fear Country Club course Sunday which gave him a 54-hole total of 207—nine under par and just two strokes over first round leader Joe Campbell of Perdido Bay, Fla. Also pressing the leader were f,ionel Hebert of Lafayette, La., Tommy Jacobs of Bermuda Dunes, Calif., and Larry Mowry of Portland, Ore., with third rounds 210 s. Also still in contention at 211, were Jack McGowan, Largo, Fla.; Dutch Harrison, St. Louis, Mo.; Jerry Pittman, Tulsa, Okla.; and Bob Gadja, Bloomfield Hills, Mich.

Twins' Manager Believes 1964 Year For Flag (EDITOR’S NOTE: This Is the 13th la a series e< 2* dispatches sn the 1964 prospects of the major league baseball teams.) By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor ORLANDO, Fla. (UPl)—The Minnesota Twins have been coming close and this is the year their manager, Sam Mele, thinks they can come of age by winning the American League pennant. He says there’s only two things they have to do to dethrone the New York Yankees —tighten up their defense and cut down on their strikeouts. “We’re not thinking about anything but winning it all,” Mele adds. “And once we do that, you can count on us to stay on top for a long time. For we are a young club and I think we have more players on our team who have yet to hit their peak than any other team in the league.” He rattled off the ages of his chief hopes. Outfielders Harmon Killebrew, Bob Allison and Jimmie Hall are 27, 29 and 26, respectively. They form the hitting core of the Twins.. They hit 113 home runs and batted in a total of 267. No outfield in the league —including that of those perennial winners, the Yankees — came close to that power. Looks For Improvement He thinks his infield of Vic Power at first base, Bernie Allen at second, Zoilo Versalles at short and Richie Rollins at third will improve this year. All the infielders, except Power, were a disappointment with their gloves and their bats. Power did the job in the field but he failed so badly at bat that he was benched for Don Mincher, a long ball hitter whose fielding does not measure up. Rollins and Allen were outstanding rookies in 1962. Last year they fell off. Versalles made more errors in the first half of last season than he did in all of 1962. ~.. “You can’t win with the kind of fielding we had,” Mele points out. “But I know they are better glove men than that.” The Twins have one of the better catchers in the league in Earl Battey. Behind him are Gerry Zimmerman and Paul Ratliff—not too much of a reserve corps there. But as Mele points out, second string catchers are hard to come by. Several Good Starters For starting pitchers the Twins have right handers Camilo Pascual (21-9) Jim Perry (9-9) and Lee Stange (12-5) and left handers Dick Stigman (15-15) and Jim Kaat (10-10). Heading the bullpen will be Bill Dailey (6-3), whom Mele regards as the second best relief pitcher in the league—only behind Dick Radatz of the Boxton Red Sox. After there is a dropoff in the Twins pitching. There’s Bill Fischer, who had a 0-6 record with the Kansas City Athletics last year; holdovers Bill Pleis (6-2), Jim Roland (4-1) and Garry Roggenburk (2-4), and they figure in the relief category. He definitely is not worried about his pitching or his power. It’s defense and strikeouts which concern him most. They are the key to the Twins’ chances in 1964. Mele likes them, and so do a lot of other baseball experts. Pro Basketball NBA Playoffs Saturday's Scores Philadelphia 129, Cincinnati 120. Los.

Many Records Set In Swimming Meet NEW HAVEN, Conn. (UPD— The 1964 National Collegiate Athletic Association swimming and diving championships not only set a record for records but have given U.S. Olympic officials reason to hope for a flood of Yankee swimming gold medals at Tokyo this October.

Southern Cal’s victory was a major upset and came on the final event Saturday night after Indiana had led almost the entire meet. The Trojans had to finish ahead of Indiana in the 400-yard freestyle relay to capture teim honors, and they did, grabbing a third place while Indiana faltered and dropped to fifth. Southern California, which had gone into the final day trailing Indiana by five points and Yale by three, totaled 96 points to 91 for Indiana and 87 for Yale. Saturday’s winners included Saari in the 1,650-yard freestyle (16:49.5), Craig in the 100-yard breaststroke (0:59.9), Bob Bennett of Southern California in the 100-yard backstroke (0:53.1) Clark in the 100-yard freestyle (0:46.3), Wally Richardson of Minnesota in the 100-yard butterfly (0:50.2), Randy Larson of Ohio State in the three-meter dive and Yale in the relay (3:07.7).

(UPD —President Johnson spent a ranchman’s holiday Sunday, breezing through the wide-open spaces, but also prayed for victims of the death-dealing earthquake in Alaska and watched with concern the condition of Gen. Douglas MacArthur. The President was in an easygoing, expansive mood this weekend as he whizzed along through the countryside sur- . rounding his 475 acres in his white Lincoln Continental. On Saturday, he gave a few tours for newsmen who attended another one of his surprise press conferences, this time in his ranch house study. Proudly, he- pointed out the sights as he drove. He was expected to return to Washington Tuesday or Wednesday. Johnson had been receiving reports on the Alaska situation from his representative there, Director Edward A. McDermott of the Office of Emergency Planning (OEP). The Texas White House said Sunday McDermott had told the President the morale of Alaskans in Anchorage was “rather high” and the civilians “were proceeding quite efficiently to try to get things reorganized i ... under this very difficult cir- : eumstance.” ' j Johnson and his wife, Lady Bird, joined in prayer for the Alaska earthquake victims at Easter services at Fredericksburg, Tex., abqut 15 miles from ''’ their LBJ Rarith. The Johnsons went to the tiny, century-old St. Barnabas Episcopal Mission Church for the 9 a.m., service, where the Rev. J. W. Langford, of Comfort, Tex., uttered the prayer for Alaskans “who are in the midst of trial, tribulation and grieving.” Johnson awaited further reports from McDermott and other officials in order to . determine what more the federal government can do to help with money and other assistance. Increase In Medical Assistance To Aged WASHINGTON (UPD — The government reported today that 156,800 Americans received help in January under the medical assistance for the aged program at a cost of about s3l million. The Department of Health, Education and Welfare said this was 6,600 more than the previous month and a 34 per cent increase from January, 1963. The federalstate program is designed to help low-income older persons meet health care costs.

Pope's Easter Plea Unusual Gesture VATICAN CITY (UPI) - Pope Paul Vi’s Easter message to believer and atheist alike was viewed today as an unusual if not unprecedented gesti|e. Vatican observers could recall no precedent in the recent history of the Roman Catholic Church for the pontiffs Easter blessing to “the church, to the brothers still separated from us, to believers in God and also to those who still do not believe or no longer believe.” They said the message, which followed celebration of an outdoor Mass for 300,000 persons Sunday, was an appeal to the world’s non-Christian majority to accept the Easter principle of salvation. “The Lord’s resurrection is not an islolated fact,” the 67year old Pope said in the first Easter message of his reign. "It is a fact which concerns the whole of mankind.” He urged mankind to join in “the true joy of the world.” Sen. Humphrey Opens Civil Rights Debate By JOHN A. GOLDSMITH . United Press International WASHINGTON (UPl)—Democratic Whip Hubert H. Humphrey opened formal Senate debate on tiie civil rights bill today by challenging its opponents to allow a vote after “fair and full” discussion. The Minnesota senator outlined the affirmative case for the House-passed measure in a prepared speech. Senate GOP Whip Thomas H. Kuchel, Calif., was ready to take up the argument for the bill when Humphrey finished. The legislation would ban racial discrimination in voting, education, employment, unions, 'public accommodations and use of federal funds. It is the most sweeping civil rights measure since Reconstruction days. The Senate voted Thursday to call up the bin after nearly three weeks of wrangling during which southern opponents joined in extended debate against the measure. Humphrey’s speech marked the beginning of a full-scale battle that is certain to include a southern filibuster and tie up the Senate at least until midMay. —- Outlining the separate provisions of the bill in his 68-page text, Humphrey complained that “bogeymen and hobgoblins” had been raised to frighten well-meaning Americans into attacking the legislation for “what it does not provide.” Humphrey said the bill’s purpose was’ “to give Negroes the same rights and opportunities that white people take for granted.” “This is no more than what Christ preached,” he said. “It is no more than what our Constitution guarantees Humphrey said the bill could well be prefaced by the Preamble of the Constitution itself, and its intention to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” ~ r was killed Friday night when a car struck her as she attempted to cross U.S. 30 near her home.
