The best major league baseball club training in An zona this year is the San Francisco Giants. .. After three weeks watching the Giants maul the Cleve land Indians, Baltimore Or ioles and the spring ratings would have to be like this: 1 Giants; 2 Orioles; 3 Indians; and 4 Cubs. The Giants finished sixth in the National league last year and many are picking them to finish there again in the current race. But you have to give Presi dent Horace Stoneham and Manager Bill Rigney credit: They aren't standing pat with the club that finished in the second division. Couldn't Win With Veterans "We are going along with the youngsters," says Rigney. "We finished in sixth two years in a row with, the men we had. That's why we sold such good veterans as Don Mueller and Foster Castle- man. We couldn't win with them, so we'll try these new boys." The "new boys" are: Right fielder Willie Kirkland; first baseman Orlando Capeda; third baseman Jim Davenport and catcher Bob Schmidt. All four are fine fielders. The big question is: Can they hit? Spring training doesn't count in the final averages, but these rookies have looked better than the rookies in the other three camps. And they have been hitting better than most of the veterans. The Giant front office is keeping its fingers crossed. "I've gone to a lot of spring training camps and I've watched these spring hit ters too many times to go all out and predict success for them," says the veteran Ed die Brannick, club secretary. "But I do have to admit this is a fine crop of rookies." Added to the youth-movement on the Giant squad are two young bonus baby pitch ers: Lefty Mike McCormick and right-hander Paul Giel. Both received $65,000 for signing a few years back and just now are ready for full-scale development. McCormick No. 3 Pitcher "As of this time," says Rigney, "I'm planning on Mc Cormick for No. 3 pitcher on my squad. He looks real good to me. And, Giel, with his fine speed, is slated for a lot of relief duty." While McCormick and Giel because of their bonus status, can't be classed as rookies, the Giants actually are count ing heavily on this group of six classy youngsters to carry them back into the pennant battle. Of course, a good season for pitchers Ruben Gomez and Johnny Antonelli, center fielder Willie Mays and a few others wouldn't hurt. In fact, it will take a good season for every man on the club. But off the basis of spring training, the Giants just might improve their pos ition clear up to the first division. Bowling CLASSIC LEAGUE Standings: V Oak Knoll Golf Course 37 11 Morse Motors j E.

A threat of rain was in the air but the bout was scheduled to go barring a pos sible cloudburst tonight. Odds To Bassey In light wagering Bassey was the choice at odds of near ly 2-1. He held an edge in ex perience and also in boxing ability. The dusky little cham pion carries a powerful punch in either hand and his backers were confident he could avoid Moreno's sledgehammer blows during the early stages of the bout and then would cut the challenger to pieces. But Moreno was cool and assured and had trained hard er for this fight than for any during his career. The muscu lar Mexican has scored 29 knockouts in 33 bouts. Both fighters have been on the scene training for about a month and both were in such good shape that they eased off boxing during the final week. .
