CROSSING PLATE IN FIRST INNING, Lee Walls, Pittsburgh Pirates, chalks up early score in game at Burbank, Cal., with St. Louis Browns. Clint Courtney is waiting for ball. (International, Dayton Tips St. Louis in NIT Upset New York -(U.R) Dayton's high-altitude Flyers, authors of an impressive upset of second seeded St. Louis, rode a 19-game winning streak Thursday into the semi-finals of the National Invitation tournament along with top-seeded Duquesne. The Flyers, who average six feet, five inches in their start ing lineup with other lofty subs waiting on call, stamped them selves dangerous Tuesday night as they walloped highly-touted St. Louis, 68 to 58, in one quar ter-final. ' In another quarter final, Du- quesne's "twin towers of strength, Jim Tucker and Dick Ricketts, finally wore down and trounced a plucky Holy Cross team, 78 to 68. So, in the semi-finals at Madi son Square Garden Friday night, Dayton will go against third seeded St. Bonaventure and Duquesne will face unseeded, but red-hot, La Salle. Height Story Height was practically the whole story in the Dayton-St. Louis game. Don Monk Meineke and "Jong John" Horan, a pair of six-foot, seven-inchers, six five Chuck Grigsby, six-three Pete Boyle, and six-one Leland Round Man Morris dominated both backboards from the start ing whistle. Gradually, the Day ton entry pulled further ahead, holding a 34-28 margin on half time. Under the pressure of this height, the St. Louis Billikens did something that St. Louis teams coached by astute Eddie Hickey simply do not do they lost their poise. Panicky and pressing, they left themselves wide open and Dayton, with Grigsby sinking seven of their first 11 points in the fourth per iod opened up a 63-49 lead that settled matters. open spring training March 24 at Lindsay, Calif., General Man a g e r Dick Richards said Wednesday. Pitchers and catchers will re port on the -24th, with the rest of the team due a week later. ' Richards said the Braves have 10 players .signed. They are four pitchers, including Manager Charlie Gassaway, four infield ers, one catcher and one out fielder. Of the 10, four are rookies. MOVING?

(U.PJ Man ager Eddie Stanky of the St. Louis Cardinals was convinced Thursday that it's true what they say about Vinegard Bend Mizell. Vinegard Bend, most heralded rookie pitcher in the Cardinal camp since Diz Dean, received his first test under fire Wednes day and couldn't have done bet ter. He pitched three hitless in nings and struck out five as the Cardinals, aided by 10 bases on balls, downed the Boston Braves, 3-0. DEBUT DISAPPOINTS St. Petersburg (U.R) Man ager Casey Stengel's satisfaction with three New York Yankee victories in four exhibition games was tempered . Thursday by Johnny Sain's disappointing debut. Sain, the veteran right-hander obtained from the Boston Braves last year, yielded six hits and three runs in three innings against the Boston Red Sox Wednesday although the Yan kees won, 7-6.

He tagged the Yankees and the Indians as the clubs to beat, but figured that the Red Sox, White Sox, Athletics and his own Tigers might make the race "interesting." "Even the Browns and Sena tors figure to be tougher," Rolfe said. "I'm more optimistic this spring because we have Art Houtteman back and Matt Batts and Cliff Mapes should give us more power. If Vic Wertz can make good at first base and I would say he has a good chance it would add power to my in field." " Last year, he recalled, all of his infielders put together hit only 22 homeruns. The Tigers finished fifth last year after nearly winning the pennant the year before. The loss of Houtteman to the armed services and a season-long slump by outfielder Hoot Evers were, Rolfe believes, the major factors in the Detroit collapse. BIRDS COME TO DINNER Germantown, Tenn.
