Experts Predict Yanks, Giants To Take Flags NEW YORK (UPI) — The New York Yankees won’t get revenge on the Los Angeles Dodgers this year but they will wind up with the winners’ share of the World Series pot o’gold.

Experts taking part in the United Press International’s annual pre-season baseball survey predict that the Yankees will rebound from their unprecedented four-game series defeat of 1963 to make Yogi Berra a World Series winner in his first season as a manager. But the experts see the Yankees beating the San Francisco Giants — not the Dodgers — in the 1964 World Series. Tbe Dodgers, according to the experts, will finish second in the National League pennant race. The voting supported the wide - spread feeling that the Yankees will win easily in the American League but that four, five or even six teams may be contenders in the National League. Overwhelming Favorites Nineteen of the 21 sportswriters and broadcasters, all of whom have viewed the teams in spring training during the last month, picked the Yankees to win and one each selected them for second and third places. That gave the Yankees 207 of a possible 210 points and an overwhelming 32-point lead over the Minnesota Twins, who finished second in the overall balloting. The Twins received the two first-place votes which did not go to the Yankees and wound up with 175 points, 14 more than the Chicago White Sox. The top three were followed, in order, by .the Detroit Tigers (155 points), Baltimore Orioles (131), Cleveland Indians (110), Boston Red Sox (75) Los Angeles Angeles (70), Kansas City Athletics (41) and Washington Senators (30). Six teams—the Giants, Dodgers, St. Louis Cardinals, Philadelphia Phillies, Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates — received at least one first-place vote in the National League voting. Giants Get 199 Points The Giants had 11 first-place votes, nine for second and one for third giving them a total of 199 points. The Dodgers had five for first and eight each for second and third for 187 points and the Cardinals were third in the balloting with vote totals of 2-3-6-7-3 spread over the first five places and 162 points. Following in order were the Phillies (137 points), Milwaukee Braves (124), Reds (123), Pirates <B6), Chicago Cubs (71), Houston Colts (44) and New York Mets. (23). Eight experts picked the Yankees to win the World Series, seven picked the Giants and four chose the Dodgers. The Cardinals and Reds received one vote each. Points were given on the basis of 10 for a first-place vote, nine for a second, eight for a third and so on down to one for a lOth-place vote. Jacket Goiters Win Third Match In Row Decatur high’s golfers romped to another easy victory Friday, as they posted a 19% to 2% victory over Hoagland in a dual match at the local golf course. The victory was the third in three outings for the Yellow Jacket golfers, and all have been by convincing scores. Earlier in the week they bested Leo by 164 and Huntington by 13-3. Sim Hain, just a sophomore, was once again low man for Decatur, and his 41 took medalist honors. The 41 was the best round of the young season for the Decatur team. Hain had a 44 and a 43 in the other two matches. Three at 43 Ip addition to Hain’s fine round, Decatur posted three scores of 43. Gary Schultz, Alan Kalver and freshman Doug Spaulding each fired 43’s. Barry Burnett and Dick Justice were close behind with 45 and 46 rounds, respectively. J. Wilkinson was low for Hoagland with 45, another Wilkinson had a round of 46 and Hobbs and D. Wilkinson each posted 49’s. The Decatur team will for victory number four without a loss next week when they travel to Columbia Citv for a match on Wednesday.

the skids for the Hawks. That meant St. Louis must win both Sunday at home and again next Thursday at the Cow Palace if it hopes to be the team that faces Eastern Division kingpin Boston in the NBA world Series. "We don’t plan to let the Hawks come back to San Francisco for any seventh game,” a beaming Hannum *said above the din of the happy Warrior dressing room. “We know we

can take them anywhere if we play our best game.” Chamberlain scored 19 points during a hot first quarter that saw the Harwks held to five field goals. An 8-0 burst sent the Warriors out to a 16-point lead during the last two minutes of th? opening period. Then another eight point blast got San Francisco out to a 20-point lead in the second period. St. Louis made its one small move of the night in the second

stanza when a full-court defense and thq fact that several Warriors were on the brink of foul trouble let St. Louis close to a 58-49 deficit at the intermission. But Chamberlain kept bombing with fade-aways and dunks in a sharp third quarter and the Warriors moved back out to a fat lead that they never relinquished.
