Milwaukee. Confident Of '56 Flag Milwaukee, Wis. (U.R; The Milwaukee Braves, baseball's most successful team in history at the turnstiles, but runners-up in the standings two years in a row, opened their most critical season today since moving here from Boston four years ago. Fans in Braveland expect a National League pennant this season, after the near-miss in 1956 when two losses in the fi nal series with St. Louis gave the pennant to Brooklyn by one game. The Braves from manager Fred Haney to the batboy are confident they can win the top prize. So confident, they didn't make any trades, or bring up any talented rookies from their farm teams to strengthen the two alleged weak spots in their lineup-second ' base and left field. Critics to the contrary, the Braves' starting lineup today at Chicago was the same one used most of last season, including second baseman Danny O'Con nell and left fielder Bobby Thomson. The critics said the Braves would have to find replace- Tuesday, April 18, 19S7 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUKE SEVEN Redding Victor In Team Ruckus Redding, Calif., golfers de feated Rogue Valley Country club men 68 to 24 Sunday in a team match at Redding.

Trades involving the pair were rumored many times during the winter, but nothing materialized. Haney has said all along that he feels he can win with his 1956 lineup, despite criticism that it lacked "courage" in the clutch. THREE CO-CAPTAINS Atlanta, Ga. (U.R) The Geor gia Tech basketball team estab lished a precedent today when it named three players as co captains. They are Jim Johnson, Gary Phillips and Terry Randall.

Mails Says Juvenile Delinquency Would Be Reduced If Youngsters t Parents Cared for Them By SCOTT BAILLIE San Francisco (U.R) Walter Great) Mails, Cleveland's iifcK-adrrutted hero of the 1920 rld Series, thinks juvenile de Tattjuency would be reduced if xsungsters felt that their parents tfily cared for them. Sme people seem too laca d&tteical now about their chil ftww," the debonair southpaw today as he looked out the Sgi&imw toward where a few email fry were sneaking onto a kts fhraugh the exit doors. "I've beaa to high school graduations where kids have shown up all alone to get their diplomas. The parente chose to stay home or go some place else." Mails, who carefully has built his own reputation as a brash ballplayer into a legend, said that one of his great moments came when he took the mound to pitch and saw his folks in the stands. Liltl Leagu Helps "Then I knew they were in terested in me and in what I was doing," Mails said. "It meant a whale of a lot." Now enjoying his second term as publicist for the San Fran cisco Seals, Mails made his ob servations in the wake of recent teenage riots which have plagued his native Marin coun ty about 20 miles north of here. "Something ought to be done about bringing families closer to gether," he continued. "The Little League has helped ac complish this and we need more projects along that line." Mails has his own pet pro gram which still is waiting to be launched. He would like to form a traveling squad consisting of golfer Harvie Ward, swimmer Ann Curtis, basketball Hank Lui setti and pro football tackle Bob St. Claire. All are established in their field. "They would go from school to school telling assemblies what sports and clean living have done for them," Mails said. "That would get the kids more interest ed in 'that kind of activity in stead of breaking laws." Native Of San Quentin Mails is a native of San Quen tin, Calif., and grew up hard by the penitentiary walls. Back in those days, close to 50 years ago, he would hike 10 miles with the town team to play a ball game. "Once we tramped about that far to Tiburon where I lost 1-0, in 15 innings," Mails said. "Then we walked all the way home." But even then, he says, the townspeople of San Quentin had little regard for him as a ball player and still brushed him off even after he had' signed with Seattle. He checked in later with Cleveland during the 1920 sea son, shortly after Ray Chapman had been fatally beaned. Mails' pitching helped carry the stun ned Tribe to the pennant and he won two games against Brooklyn in the World Series. Yet, by 1923, he was back in the Coast league. "Maybe I was just a flash in the pan as a major league pitcher but I'm still the best publicist in baseball," he rumb led. "'Nobody's got me beat." But he wishes he also could beat juvenile delinquency. Webb Picked Over Sandy New York (U.R) Spider Webb of Tulsa, Okla., is expect ed to be a solid favorite over Randy Sandy of New York when they meet in a nationally tele vised 10-rounder at Chicago sta dium Wednesday in the feature bout of this week's boxing sched ule. . Webb, the third-ranked con tender in his division, is con sidered pne of the most versatile boxer-punchers in the business today and should be able to handle Sandy's heavier guns. Webb, a graduate of Comp ton Junior college, has a record of 21 victories, including 12 knockouts, in 22 professional fights while Sandy, who has won his last two bouts, has a record of 18 victories, six losses and one draw in 25 fights. This bout originally was scheduled for March 13 but Sandy withdrew because of a hand injury suffer ed during training. ' Mims vs. Beecham In Miami Beach, Fla., Friday night, still another middleweight bout is in the offing with vet eran Holly Mims of Washington, D.C., facing young Jimmy Beec ham of Miami. This bout also will be nationally televised. Mims, a 28-year-old boxing stylist who's licked such good ones as Johnny Bratton and' Moses Ward, has a professional record of 42 victories in 62 fights and has knocked, out 10 opponents. He beat Beecham on Nov. 13 at Miami Beach. The 22-year-old Beecham has won 17 of 20 bouts and knocked out seven opponents.
