Leo Says He'll Be Good; Umps, Scribes Wonder BOSTON — (JP) — From the um pires’ viewpoint, Leo Durocher's newly acquired amiability will be the outstanding feature of the Na tional League's diamond jubilee year—if it lasts. But, knowing him of old, they are going to hope for the best while preparing themselves, as usual, for his worst. Writers who have known "The Lip" for years were dumbfounded by him before and after his New York Giants took their opener by blanking the Boston Braves, 4-0. Since it was the Giants’ first op ening day triumph in five years, they expected to encounter Du rocher in one of his rate genial moods. "I’m so happy, I’m frightened,” the beaming Duroclier confessed as he launched his post-game inter j view. “I’ve never had a club going ! so well and it scares me.” “I’ve got a great ball club, ‘my kind of club’ but I’m not going to do any pennant talking and, what’s | more, I’m not going to have any more run-ins with umpires.” That was much too much for his interviewers. They fled in a body. Salem High has won 46 of 50 Big ; Six League basketball games and | has finished in first place for five consecutive years.
