The Montreal Canadiens and
the Boston Bruins have carried
their fight for second place in
the National Hockey league
down to the wire.
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. Kasko is list
ed as a shortstop but Hutchin

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.

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.

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

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.
