Minoso's Powerful Hitting Drowns Out Indian Critics By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer Those critics of Cleveland Indian General Manager Frank Lane- are being drowned out today by the thunder of Minnie Minoso's bat. And they'll cease to exist at all if the newly-acquired Larry Doby pans out for the Indians the way Minoso is. Acquired Dec. 4 in a deal that involved the popular Early Wynn and Al Smith, Minoso is enjoying one of the finest springs of his nine-year ca reer. All the 34-year-old native of Mantanzas, Cuba, did Tues- Bassey Keeps Title, By Halting Moreno By ALEX KAHN Los Angeles (IP) D u s k y Nigerian featherweight cham pion Hogan (Kid) Bassey, who stalks an oppone like a tiger, today accepted the plaudits of power - punching Ricardo (Pajarito) Moreno as "the better man" after he scored a third-round knock out over the Mexican challenger. In the first defense of the title he won last June, Bassey weathered Moreno's bull-like rushes and lashing blows even though they staggered him and then landed a jolting right to the head in the third round to drop Moreno for the full count after 2:58 minutes Tuesday night. "Bassey proved to me he was the better man," Moreno said as he wept unashamed in his dressing room following a Dupas, Fuentes Tussle Okehed New Orleans PI A 10- round welterweight bout be tween Ralph Dupas and Ra mon Fuentes had the sanction of the Louisiana State Boxing commission today after the commission ignored an opin ion of the State Attorney Gen eral's office Wednesday said the bout would violate state law. Dupas is a New Orleans resident and Fuentes is from Los Angeles, Calif. After an hour long execu tive session Tuesday night, the commission said "We unanimously sanction the April 7 fight between Dupas and Fuentes and we recognize Dupas' race as the status quo until legally decided in a . court of law." . In an opinion requested by the commission, Assistant At torney General John Jackson Jr. said state health records indicate Dupas is Negro. Louisiana law prohibits racial ly mixed athletic events. Boding JUNIOR TOURNAMENT Gutter Kids with 2623 paced boy's teams and B and B Auction with 2430 led the girls in contention at Medford Bowling lanes for the Amer ican Junior Bowling congress mailographic national team handicap tourney. Bill Harmon sparked the Kids with a 193 game and 481 series and Inger Palm tjuist topped the Auction club with 147 and 408. Stewart Schroeder had high boys' series with 492 and Delores Williams 160 was high game for girls. SCORES: (Girls) Band B Auction (Palmquest 147 408 2430 Queen Pins (Williams 143-366) 2244.

Quick Like a Cat "They said he was quick like a cat and hit hard he did," said Moreno as he shook his head in disbelief. The champion, with the dig nity befitting the holder of the Order of the British Em pire which was awarded him by Queen Elizabeth last New Year's day, paid tribute to Moreno for his punching ability. "He hurt me with every punch," Bassey said, screw ing up his face in mock pain as he discussed the bout. "But I knew I had him in the second round." The abrupt ending left the crowd of around 17,000 fans almost gasping in astonish ment. The gate was estimated at $220,000. The predomin antly Mexican audience had expected more from their fa vorite who has a record of 29 knockouts in 34 fights. Moreno, realizing ' that his chief hope was to score an early knockout, came rushing out of his corner at the bell for the opening round and began throwing powerful but awkward-looking punches that Bassey said afterward carried plenty of authority. The crowd was sent into hysterical cheers when Mo reno staggered the shorter Bassey midway in the round with a series of jolting lefts and an occasional right. And he followed that up by pin ning the champ in a neutral corner and again staggered him to take the round on all cards. Chearing Ends But that ended most of the cheering so far as the sup porters of Moreno were' con cerned. In the climactic third round Bassey followed up his second round advantage, sinking his fist into Moreno's midriff and then following up with loop ing blows to the head. The knockout punch was a battering right to the head that sank Moreno to his knees, and he then keeled over slow ly on his back in his own corner while Referee Tommy Hart tolled the full count. Bassey weighed 124 pounds for the fight, Moreno 124. Bassey's handlers said he would leave almost immed iately for Liverpool. Moreno's handlers were too dazed to think of future plans. day was wallop three homers and a single to drive in eight runs and lead the Tribe to a 14-7 victory over the Chicago Cubs. That outburst topped another terrific showing by Ernie Banks who smacked his 10th and 11th homers of the spring and knocked in five runs for the losers. Lane was criticized for making both the Minoso and Doby deals but in reuniting sluggers who twice previous ly have been "roomies" he is trying to "wake up" a city whose attendance last season fell to 720,000. Skowron Blasts ' Bill Skowron knocked in eight runs with two homers and a single as the New York Yankees outslugged the Chi cago White Sox, 15-11. Steve Bilko, fighting to win a job with Cincinnati, knocked in four runs with two hom ers off Curt Simmons to lead the Redlegs to a 9-2 triumph over the Philadelphia Phillies. The world champion Mil waukee Braves wound up their "home" exhibition sea son at Bradenton, Fla., with a 7-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates; the San Francisco Giants clinched the Cactus league title by beating the Baltimore Orioles, 4-1; the St. Louis Cardinals snapped the Boston Red Sox' eight-game winning streak, 4-3; the Kan sas City Athletics downed the Detroit Tigers; 4-1; and the Washington Senators shaded the Los Angeles Dodgers, 7-6, in 10 innings.

Harassed personnel at the Portland zoological gardens remembering last year's flood of 700 telephone calls for Mr. Fox, Mr. Lamb, and Mrs. Lion this year installed an automatic telephone answer ing device. But after an hour the calls even had the elec tronic brain in a neurotic con dition. Its message cylinder was filled and its recorded voice went dead in mid-sentence. By RICH SCOTT Ashland Dave D'Olivo will be on the mound for Southern Oregon college in its opening baseball game of the season against Humboldt State Thursday at 3 p.m. here. The Raiders meet Hum boldt State in a three game series with the single game Thursday and a doubleheader scheduled .for Friday begin ning at 1:30 p.m. Coach Ted Schopf will start Jack Brown on the hill in the first game Friday and either Jim Eggers or Kermit Mc Elmore in the second. ' If Eg gers is needed in relief in the first games McElmore will get the call to start. The outfield and catching line-up is still somewhat un certain according to Schopf. Opening catching chores will go to Phil Sword or Ron Maurer. If Sword catches, Maurer will play center field along with Leroy King in left and Jim McAbee in right. On the other hand, if Maurer catches Sword will go tb right field and King will move to center and McAbee to left. Jones at Short Willie Jones, veteran from last year's squad, will start at shortstop and will team with Jim Dietz at second base for the keystone combination. Larry Maurer gets the position at first base. Third base is still undecid ed between Chuck Nevi and Gordie Thoreson. Regardless who starts, both will see ac tion in the series against the Lumberjacks. Al Kimura and Ray Wein hold make up the outfield re serve and provide pinch-hitting . reserve. Eldon Francis will be on utility call in the infield and Dietz can be used in relief if necessary. The line-up packs plenty of power and a . good de fensive infield, according to Schopf, with the pitching still being a problem. Beginning with this series, the Red Raiders have seven non-league games before meet ing Oregon Tech, April 19, in a doubleheader at Ashland to open Oregon Collegiate conference.
