Dodgers Score 7-3 Victory Against Twins By TIM MORIARTY UFI Sports Writer Are the Los Angeles Dodgers training for the start of another baseball season — or for the Olympic track team? That’s what the Minnesota Twins were asking Wednesday after the World Champions literally ran circles arqund them in scoring a 7-3 victory at Vero Beach, Fla. The Dodger “sprinters” collected five of their 15 hits on drag bunts, stole four bases and clicked off five successful hit-and-run plays. Dashman Maury Wills was in mid-season form as he awed the Twins with a double, two bunt singles and a stolen base. A three-run burst by the Dodgers in the third inning featured a successful drag bunt by Wills, a single by Tommy Davis, a sacrifice fly by Ron Fairly and three stolen bases. Three bunts, including a safe squeeze by pitcher Larry Sherry, helped the champs add a pair in the sixth. Sherry turned in his top performance of the spring by limiting the Twins to one hit over the final four innings. Tracy Stallard of the New York Mets turned in the spring’s first victorious complete game by blanking the Cincinnati Reds, 3-0, on six hits. The fast-balling righthander struck out eight, walked one and didn’t allow a Cincinnati runner to reach second base. The Mets scored all their runs in the first five innings off rookie southpaw John Flavin. It was the Reds’ fifth straight loss and their 10th in 17 exhibitions. Bob Friend also went the route for the Pittsburgh Pirates but dropped a 4-0 verdict to the Baltimore Orioles. Robin Roberts faced only 22 batters over the first seven innings and stopped the Pirates with two singles. Harvey Haddix blanked his old Pittsburgh mates in the last two frames. The Milwaukee Braves won their 10th straight game against American League opposition by riding Hank Aaron’s fifth home run of the training season to a 5-3 triumph over the Chicago White Sox. j Howevpr, - the other half of the White Sox’ split squad emerged with a 12-7 victory over the Washington Senators, on a seven-run rally in the eighth inning. Charlie Maxwell drove in four Chicago runs with a triple and a single. In other exhibitions, the St. Louis Cardinals edged the Philadelphia Phillies, 6-5; the New York Yankees downed the Detroit Tigers, 4-2; the Los Angeles Angels scored a comeback 10-7 victory over the San Francisco Giants and the Chicago Cubs turned back the Boston Red Sox, 8-7.

Lavorante, 27, and the victim of boxing’s longest coma, died Wednesday at the home of a relative. Never had he recovered consciousness after his sixth-round knockout by Johnny Riggins of San Francisco at the Los Angeles Olympic Auditorium, Sept. 21, 1962. Slugger a very promising contender who stood six-feet-three and weighed 212 pounds, underwent brain operations and treatments by specialists in the United States and Until two weeks ago he did not seem to deteriorate physically. He was able to eat normal meals — automatically. He even responded mechanically to some commands but he never opened his eyes. He was guided daily through a routine of exercises at clinics, with electrical • stimulation of his muscles and he sat in a chair several hours each day. Wednesday night at San Francisco, Calif., Riggins said: “I am so sorry about his death. I had prayed and prayed he would get better. I want to send my regards to his family.” Riggins said he didn't realize that Alejandro was hurt when he hit him, “but I guess he was off balance.” Lavorante’s delayed death was the third 1964 fataility resulting from ring injuries.

St. Louis Hawks Win Opener In Playoff SAN FRANCISCO (UPD — The St. Louis Hawks, always at their toughest when they seem finished, plan to take some light shooting practice today although they came up with plenty of clutch baskets Wednesday night while beating the San Francisco Warriors, 116-111, in their opening NBA Western Division playoff final. "This is the kind of a club that has had to come from behind all year,” Coach Harry Gallatin said after the Hawks had wiped out a 20-point deficit and knocked off the well - rested Warriors. “Tired? Nobody is tired when he is winning.” Gallatin made this remark when asked if any of his players felt the fatigue. They had to go the limit to oust the Los Angeles Lakers in the « division’s semifinal playoff while San Francisco rested for two weeks after winning the regular race. The teams resume play Friday night at the Cow Palace following Wednesday night’s rouser that was watched by 5,231 at "‘the University of San Francisco gym. The survivor of the best of seven series will face the winner of the Eastern Division playoff now going on between the Boston Celtics and Cincinnai Royals. Boston, going after its sixth straight NBA crown, beat the Royals, 103-87 in their Tuesday opener. The teams meet in the second game tonight with Cincinnati Coach Jack McMahon fretting over injuries. But it wasn’t injuries that hurt the Warriors Wednesday night. It was the return of an old tendency to blow big leads. However, Coach Alex Hannum of the losers took the setback in stride. “St. Louis came up with a hot hand,” Hannum said. “We got off some good shots ourselves during the final period but they didn’t drop in.” Richie Guerin paced the Hawks with 32 points. Wilt Chamberlain led all scorers with 37 points and 22 rebounds. Boxing Writers Ask s for Commissioner NEW YORK (UPD — The Boxing Writers’ Association (BWA) added its voice today to the chorus asking for a national boxing commissioner. Barney Nagler of the New York Morning Telegraph, president of the BWA, telegraphed . a “commissioner” resolution to Sen. Philip A. Hart, D-Mich., in Washington, D. -C. Senator Hart is chairman of Senate’s sub - committee on anti-trust and monopoly, which has been holding hearings recently on the sport. The resolution, voted unanimously at Wednesday’s BWA luncheon, assured the senator that the BWA was wholeheartedly behind his committee’s es fort to get “Bill S. 1474” enacted ihto legislation. That bill, drawn up by the late Sen. Estes Kef au ver of Tennessee when he was head of Senator Hart’s sub-committee, was designed primarily “to curb monopolistic control of professional boxing and to establish within the Department of Justice the office of the national boxing commissioner.” Bill S. 1474 was introduced into the Senate by Sen. Kefau-v ver° on March 29, 1961. It was read twice and then referred to the judiciary committee, where it still remains. Juan Pizarro Signs White Sox Contract SARASOTA, Fla. (UPD — Juan Pizarro, the Chicago, White Sox’ wandering pitcher is in- camp today, signed, sealed and delivered — just one month sifter., the White Sox pitchers were supposed to report. Pizarro arrived in Sarasota Wednesday and agreed to a 20 per cent raise over his 1963 salary, giving him about $25,000.

A's Depend On Rookies In '64 Pennant Chase (EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the 16th of 20 dispatches on the 1964 prospects of the major league baseball clubs.) By LEO H. PETERSEN _. UFI Sports Editor BRADENTON, Fla. (UPD — Manager Ed Lopat says with a straight face that the Kansas City Athletics could move up to fifth place in the American League this season because of added power. Then in the next breath he admits they could have trouble in center field, at second base and with their pitching. So its hard to go along with his optimism. His main reason for it is the addition of first baseman Jim Gentile and outfielder Rocky Colavito. He expects them to hit at least 70 home runs between them and to drive in over 100 runs each. “If they do, we should be okay in the power department,” Lopat predicts, adding that, he believes third baseman Ed Charles also has the potential a of hitting 35 home runs. But the power drops off sharply after those three and Lopat makes no secret of the fact that the Athletics “badly need” a good left-handed pitcher. He blames the lack of lefthanded pitching strength for the A’s eighth place finish in 1963. Gave Up Siebern To get Gentile, Kansas City gave up Norm Siebern, To get Colavito they gave up second baseman Jerry Lumpe and pitchers Ed Rakow and Dave Wickersham. Those two pitchers won 21 games for the A’s last season while Lumpe long has been rated one of the better second basemen in the majors. Lopat is depending on rookies to fill in thfe. gaps. The chances of them doing it are not very good. Dick Green, who hit only .234 at Portland last season, is the main hope for second base. Should Green fail to make it, the only other second base candidate is another rookie, George o Williams;' hit at Oklahoma City. Wayne Causey is a fixture at short and with Gentile at first and Charles at third, the Kansas City infield could be the. club’s strong point if Green makes it at second. Colavito, who hit 22 homers and drove in 91 runs for the . Detroit Tigers, is the only one sure of a regular outfield spot. He’ll play left 9 with Jose Tartabull or rookie Nelson Mathews in center and either Gino Cimoli or George Alusik in right. Tartabull is a good glove man with a weak stick. Mathews hit only .157 for the Chicago Cubs. Cimoli hit .263 for the A’s and Alusik batted .265. Catching Set Howard Edwards and Charley Lau will share the catching duties just as they did last year with the third string job going to the other bonus player, Dave Duncan. As of now, Lopat has three starting pitchers — Orlando Pena (12-20), Diego Segui (9-6) and Moe Drabowsky (7-13). All are right handers and Lopat is expecting big things of all three, especially Drabowsky, who appears to have con- • quered his arm trouble. Lopat describes his bullpen “as the best part of club.” The relief staff is headed by John Wyatt (6-4), Tom Sturdivant (1-2), Ted Bowsfield (5-7) and Dale Willis (0-2). All except Bowsfield are right handers. For the other pitching spots Lopat will select three from a , group of seven. They include Bob Anderson <3-1 with the Tigers last year: Dan Pfister, who won only one game last season before he was sidelined with a sore arrrr; Aurelio Monteagudo, 10-13 at Portland; Jose Santiago, a 12 - game winner at Portland; Vern Handrahan, another Portland graduate with a 4-1 record and Lew Krause, the high priced bonus baby who has yet to make the grade. • Purdue Grid Squad Opens Spring Drill LAFAYETTE. Ind. (UPD —A squad of 86, including 23 major lettermen, opened Purdue's spring football practice Wednesday. Coach Jack Mollenkopf said first contact work will come Saturday gs part of Purdue's annual football coaches clinic.

C. H. S. rifle club, is open to all boys and girls in the eighth through 11th grades at the Catholic school. A girls’ rifle club is now being formed at the school, with Mrs. Dan Kwasneski as the instructor, assisted by Mrs. Mark Colchin, Mrs. Robert Eash and Mrs. Reinhard Selking. Private Motels In State Parks Favored INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — A legislative study committee Wednesday approved a proposed bill to allow private motels or hotels to be built in state parks. The bill will be presented to the 1965 Legislature. The committee, named by the 1963 Legislature to investigate the feasibility of a setup in which private enterprise would provide state park lodgings, came to a tentative conclusion. State Sen. David" Rogers, DBloomington, was directed by committee to draft a bill. State Rep. Taylor Morris, RNew Castle, said the bill would authorize the Indiana Department of Conservation to draw up a longterm lease setting forth the terms under which a site within a state park would be turned over to a private company. Bids would be taken on the amount the firms would pay for the lease. The lodgings would be built by the winning bidder and would become the property of the state at the end of the lease period, possibly 25 or 30 years. A second plan considered as a supplement to the lease arrangement also was discussed by the committee. This called for creation of a Conservation Housing Authority something like the State Office Building Commission. Such an authority would build lodgings on state-owned property, using a bond issue, and then would lease the property to motel or hotel firms to operate. Morris explained that the k .icommittee felt the first plan ' would be practical for State parks such as Indiana Dunes or Brown County which have heavy tourist attraction. However, he said, the committee felt the second plan might also be needed for the parks less frequently visited and that his committee did not have jurisdiction to handle such a bill. They plan, therefore, to turn this proposal over to the Conservation Advisory Committee headed by State Rep. Joseph Harmon, R-Corydon, which is scheduled to meet April 16. Louisville Company Awarded Contract The Louisville FOnce Co., of Louisville, Ky., has been awarded a $74,560.65 bid for signs and sign structures in Adams, Grant, Allen, Noble, St. Joseph, Kosciusko, Whitley, and Noble counties; but another contract,. for furnishing and installing thermd-plastic pavement markings on state routes in Adams, Wells, Allen, and other counties in the Fort Wayne district after resurfacing was not let, as no bid was below the engineer’s estimate.

President Os Brazil Flees

RIO DE JANEIRO (UP!)— President Joaj Goulart fled to his stronghold of Porto Alegre early today for a last-ditch stand against army forces who reported his defenses were crumbling. Reports from Argentina said Brazilian border forces of the 3rd Army—last of Brazil’s lour military commands to suppou Goulart—were defecting. The rebel radio network said at mid-day “nearly all resistance has ended” in Porto Alegre. The radio station of the newspaper Jornal Do Brasil in xtio has surrendered.” Jornal q.:oled a congressman, Alexandre Machado Da Silva, from Fiori anapolis, in Santa Catarina state, as saving he had just driven there from Porto Alegre to “report the city’s fall" be cause its radio stations were off the air. Florianapolis is about an hour’s drive from Porto Al’gre. Da Silva said: “Brazilians: Porto Alegre has now been oc Stale Is Peppered By April Showers By United Press International April waited scarcely 24 hours to give Indiana a sample of the showers for which it is famous.

cupied by victorious anti-Comr munist troops headed by Gen Cordeiro Fai ias. “It was not necessary for the 2nd Army to arrive and free us. It was the 3rd Army, inside o the city, that courageously restored legality to the state of Rio Grande Do Sul.” Rebel sources in Rio sai I pro-Goulart radio stations in Porto Alegre had gone off the air and interpreted this as an end to his resistance to his ouster. Congress, meanwhile, installed Ranieri Mazzilli, speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, as provisional president and he set about creating a new government. Goulart, however, stoutly maintained he continued the legal president. In Porto Alegre. Goulart told a news conference he had not resigned, would not resign and would resist efforts to oust him. He said he was “mystified” at congress’ action in swearing in Mazzilli as provisional president. He said he had no plans to flee Brazil and felt himself free to go anywhere in the country. The crisis between the antiCommunist rebels and Goulart appeared to be nearing a showdown in the “cowboy state” of Rio Grande Do Sul where Goulart still had army support. The president had fled there from Rio after pausing in Brasilia, the capital, where he disclosed he had refused rebel demands that he quit. Rebel generals began the revolt against Goulart Tuesday night in protest against his drift to the left which the generals said was heading the country toward communism. The anti-Goulart “Radio Liberty” station, broadcasting from Sao Paulo, said today a destroyer and two torpedo boats had been .:ent to blockade Porto Alegre, 1 aiding 2nd army (rebel) troops” who are marching on the city.
