The Bruins moved back into a tie for the runner-up spot Thursday night by blanking the pennant winning Detroit Red Wings, 2-0, behind the brilliant net minding of rookie Don Sim mons. Both Montreal and Boston conclude their regular cam paigns Saturday night, with the Canadiens entertaining the Chi cago Black Hawks and the Bruins playing host to the New York Rangers. If they are still tied in points, the runner-up spot will go to the team with the most goals scored. .Montreal has a big goal edge. Hutchinson Rates Cards Most Improved in Loop (This Is the fourth in a sertes on the 157 prospects el the major league clubs.) By LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor St. Petersburg. Fla. U.R Manager Fred Hutchinson fig ure his St. Louis Cardinals are from 10 to 12 ga. .es" stronger this season than they were in 1956, when they finished fourth, 17 games behind the pennant winning Dodgers. But the lack of a hard-hitting centerfielder, only so-so catching and uncertain pitching may keep them from overhauling any of the three top rated clubs the Dodgers, Braves and Redlegs. "Our pitching should be bet ter," Hutchinson says optimistic ally, "and Del Ennis is going to be a big help in the power de- partment. I figure my club is the most improved in the league. The big question Is, has it im proved enough?" 11 he has to go with what he hai now, Hutchinson probably will two-platoon center with the fine-fielding but light-hitting Bobby Del Greco and Chuck Harmon, who failed to stick as an infielder with the Redlegs. Counting on Ennis The other two are fixtures Ennis in left and Wally Moon, one of the favorites to win the National League batting title, in right. Hutchinson is counting on Ennis, secured from the Phillies, fnr inn Tim' anrl fiffnres his bis bat should give the Cardinals trnn an arrav of four hitters as there are in the league. In that four would be Stan Musial, Ennis, Moon and Ken Boyer. the power-hitting third baseman. Musial will play first base with Don Blasingame at second and either Al Dark or Dick Scho field, who appears to be about ready to live up to the big bonus the Cardinals paid him in 1953, at short. Hutchinson is high on rookie Eddie Kasko, up from Rochester where he hit .303.

Roseburg MedfowTtubukb srpdDninrs Help From Sox Should Give Seals Good Start (This Is another In a series on the Atltlook of Partftr Coast league base ball learns for this season.) By ALEX KAHN United Press Sports Writer Fullerton, Calif. "UR Joe Gordon, the former Yankee and Cleveland flash who starred as a playing manager at Sacramento a few seasons ago, is looking for ward to a good campaign man aging San Francisco this year. The soft-spoken Gordon feels he has a lineup to start with and with the help he expects from the parent Boston Red Sox club, San Francisco should be off to a good start and definitely should do better than last year when it finished a disappointing sixth. "We have a good balance of rookies and veterans who have been drilling well and appear to be rounding into shape." Gordon says. "Of course, we lost five or six top notch prospects from last year's team men like Marty Keough and Jerry Casale, who will be hard to replace. But the outlook isn't bad at all." Boston has started feeding in second and third as well. Eddie Miksis will stick as both an infield and outfield reserve while either Tom Alston or Joe Cunningham, both of whom fail ed to make the grade in other trials, will be kept as a reserve for Musial. Hal Smith will be the No. 1 catcher but if something hap pens to him the Cardinals will be up against it, for Hobie Landrith cannot throw in major league style and rookie Gene Green, a .300 hitter it I.ochester, does not appear to be ready. May Be Key Three pitchers obtained in off season deals may be the key to the St. Louis staff. They are Sam Jones. 9-14 with the Cubs last year; Jim Davis, another ex-Cub with a 5-7 record and knuckle- bailer Hoyt Wilhclm, the ex-Gi ant with a 4-9 mark. Vinegar Bend Mizell, who won 14 while losing the same number in his first season after coming out of service, is regarded as the ace of the staff. Herm Wehmeier, who won 12 for the Cardinals af ter being obtained from the Phil lies, and Lmdy McDaniel, a seven-game winner in 1956 are oth er starters. Murry Dickson, who will be ; 41 before the season ends, will be used in spot starting roles and j also for relief. Two holdovers, j Larry Jackson 2-2 and Willard Schmit 6-8 also will be back. I Four rookies are battling for , s!the 10th pitching berth. They are i-'oya Memu, nuiy Muffett, Tom Cheney and Bob Smith. Slats Gill Coach Prexy Kansas City, Mo. UPJ Slats Gill, for 29 years head basket ball coach at Oregon State col lege, yesterday was elected pres ident of the College Basketball Coaches association.

Hugh Williams. 185 Portland INDl'P vs. Willy Ira. 119, Portland the reinforcements and by the time the R-d Sox finish their West Coast visit, Gordon expects a good deal more help will be left behind. Plenty of Pitchers He anticipates two or three pitchers will come to him al though he has a fair sprinkling of men back from last year. These include Bill Abernathie, Ted Bowsfield, Bob Smith and Bob Thollander. Additions he has received, that should help, are major league veterans Jim Konstanty, Duane Pillette, Har ry Dorish and Walt Masterson. Of the rookies up from Albany and Grensboro, Bud Benner ap pears - likely prrspect as does Roy Tinney who fin.shed out last season with the Seals. His catching is fairly set with the veterans Nini Tornay and Ed Sadowski back, aided by Jer ry Zimmerman from Albany. Although he has a lengthy ros ter of infielders, Gordon says he'll have to wait before deter mining how they will do. The veteran Grady Hatton and rookie Hube Hubacek are available at third while Harry Malmberg from Charleston is working at second. Status Undecided Either Joe Tanner or rookie Pumpsie Green will play short and the old pro, Frank Kellert, who was obtained from the Cubs, is at first with Bob DiPietro available for the infield, or out field. Gordon is undecided on "The Deep's" status right now. The Seals recently obtained Bill Renna from the Yankees for the outfield where he will join Sal Taormina, a San Francisco veteran, little Albie Pearson and rookie Hal Gro' But Gordon would like another hand or two out there. "From now on it's a matter of judging them in exhibition gam es and deciding which man can play Coast league baseball," says Gordon. "I'll know better in a couple of weeks and by that time, the Red Sox should have an idea who they dan spare for us. "But we ought to give San Francisco an interesting, hust ling team that 'will be able to hold its own in this league even though I understand most of the other clubs may be stronger al so," Gordon said. iC-rs '-4 LJi'JL'JL'J f 7 T 'A J i ? i m an. if I The latest work-savin? feature, rail John Deer quality, and power aplenty for a complete farming job on smaller acreage arc yours in a new John Deere "320" Tractor.

Crater High Has 17 Track Lettermen Central Point Hopes of the Crater High Comets to do well in their move into Class A-l track are bolstered by the return of 17 lettermen from last sea son's Rogue league and Class A-2 district championship team. Coach Ed Knapp said that six other letter winners he hoped to have on hand this spring are missing for various reasons. Craig Cockran, who was second in the state A-2 high jump, will be the big boss among those athletes. He has moved to Mil waukie. Host To Ashland The Comets host Ashland here Saturday in a three-quarter dis tance meet. They'll vie with Medford and Ashland March 30 in a varsity-novice meet at Med ford. On the slate also are the Rogue and Hayward relays.

Berrios 7-5 Bout Choice New York U.R) Aggressive Miguel Berrios and elusive Car melo Costa fight tonight at Mad ison Square garden in the first elimination bout of the world featherweight title tournament. Berrios, a stocky little Puerto Rican who now lives in New York, is favored at 7-5 to beat the chunky but nimble Costa of Brooklyn because of his persist ent attack, his stamina and his ruggedness. Costa, 22, is rated fourth among world contenders for the title vacated recently by Sandy Saddler because of an injured eye Berrios, 24, is rated third. The other two men in the tourney are Hogan (Kid) Bassey of Nigeria, Africa, ranked sec ond, and Cherif Hamia of France, ranked first. Hamia is champion of Europe. Tonight's winner will meet Bassey later, and that finalist will fight Ha mia for the world title. Ron Delany Eyes Record Cleveland, Ohio (U.R) Ron Delany, the Irish miler who runs more for "recreation than for records," gets, another crack at the American indoor mile record tonight in the windup of the board track season at the 17th annual Knights of Columbus games. Delany covered the mile In 4:03.8 in Chicago last week, two-tenths of a second off the American mark. He is almost certain to up Wes Santee's Cleveland record of 4:04.6 set in 1956. GEE Judge Sets Prison Term For Aragon Los Angeles (U.R) A tarn ished and nearly broke Art (Golden Boy) Aragon, who once bragged that he could defeat any prize fighter in his class, has taken the final count that virtu ally puts an end to his fabulous fistic career. ' The 29-year-old Aragon turned pale Thursday when he heard Superior Judge Herbert V. Walk er sentence him to one to five years in the state prison for con spiring to give refugee boxer Dick Goldstein S500 to take "a dive" in a Texas bout. "I told the truth and I'm going to prison," Aragon sobbed as he was led away to jail by a bailiff. "There is nothing more I can say." Aragon, who drew up to $1 million at the box office, was convicted last month by a super ior court jury of conspiring to "fix" a San Antonio, Tex., bout last December by attempting to bribe Goldstein. The bout never came off because Aragon became ill and was excused by the Texas State Athletic commission. However, Goldstein complain ed to the National Boxing asso ciation that Aragon offered him the bribe. Both fighters immed iately were suspended by the as sociation and Aragon was in dicted by the county grand jury here on charges that led to the final verdict.
