Have Good Chance

(Written for UPI)
Walnut Creek, Calif. (UPD
I'm still not doing any pre
dicting even if we did finish
third last year after a lot of
people had us down for fifth
or sixth. Let's just say I think
we have a definite chance of
being a contender.
But here's -one thing I
really want to get across. I
don't buy any of this talk
about "sophomore jinxes" and
am looking for even better
years from last year's key
rookies first -baseman Or
lando Cepeda, catcher Bob
Schmidt and third baseman
Jim Davenport.
Pitching is our biggest prob
lem. But thati doesn't mean
I'm exactly upset over our
present staff. I'm looking for
Jack Sanford, whom we ob
tained from the Phillies, and
Johnny Antonelli to work
, about 250 innings apiece next
season. Both are big, strong
men at the top of their form.
Meed Reliefers ' " ,
If Mike McCormick, a left
hander like Antonelli, can
pick up a little, he might fig
ure as our number three start
er. And let's not overlook Stu
Miller who led the league in
earned run averages last year.
They might comprise our big
four.
Our second ? line pitching
was not good last year. We
need somebody to work the
middle innings. Paul Giel

Obstacle To LA
Ballpark Lifted
Los Angeles -DPD- The Los
Angeles Dodgers had another
obstacle removed Tuesday
night from their plans for
building a 12 million dollar
ballpark in Chavezravine.
The city housing authority
lifted deed restrictions on 184
acres of land in the ravine
which would have prevented
the Dodge club from using
the area as a ballpark despite
last week's State Supreme
court ruling holding that the
club's contract with the city
was valid.
Opponents .to the contract
which gave the Dodges 315
acres of land in return for
Wrigley field and other con
cessions cited the restrictions
of land use at Chavez ravine
as one reason why the con
tract should not stand. -

looks like he has learned
enough now to be effective
there. Curt Barclay's sore arm
seems okay again, John Fitz
gerald and Dom Zanni also
might figure as good middle
men.
Billy Muffett, whom we
got from the Cardinals, prob
ably will handle the finishing
up job along with Al" Worth
in gton.
Let's take a look at the out
field. With Jackie Brandt in
left, Willie Mays in center
and either Felipe Alou . or
Willie Kirkland in right we
could have a real exriting one
to watch. They all can streak
for that ball and have fine
arms.

United Press Internaional
New York Only some
utterly fantastic" offer could
induce Adolph Rupp, college
basketball's winningest coach,
to leave the Kentucky Wild
cats. That's what "the man in the
brown suit" said today when
asked about the various offers
and feelers from professional
clubs reportedly being made
to him as he approaches his
600th victory.
At 57, the baron of the
round ball will have his magic
600 when his Wildcats the
nation's top ranked team
register two more victories-
possibly against Georgia Tech
next Monday and Georgia, the
following Thursday. They
have won 14 of their last 15
games.
"They've amazed me this
season," said the tutor of tall
tossers, who has the highest
long-stretch winning average
in hardwood coaching his
tory. When he started the cur
rent season, his 584 wins and
103 losses gave him an .850
for his 28 years as keeper of
the Cats. '
"I didn't expect much from
this sophomore team," he ex
plained, "and neither did any
one else. But the youngsters
came through in a big way
Bill Lickert, Dick Parsons,
Ned Jennings, Bobby Slusher
and, of course, Sid Cohen, a
junior college transfer. And
they're drawing big crowds
everywhere."
Over the phone from Lex
ington, Rupp said, "Is it any
wonder that I'm happy here?
These boys, like many others
I've coached go all out to win
because of the public interest
here in their success and be
cause of their personal pride.
You know, 87 per cent of the
boys I've coached since I've
been here were native Ken-
tuckians. It makes a big dif
ference.
He said some reports of the
offers and feelers to have him
desert the college game and
become coach, of this or that
professional team were true.
Happy With Kentucky
"But I never considered
any of them," he continued,
"because I'm so happy here
not only with the university
but also with my four farms
in the neighborhood."
He said he didn't expect to
leave Kentucky U. until he
is automatically retired at the
age of 75. By that time he
may have exceeded the high
est victory total ever recorded
by the National Collegiate
Athletic Bureau-the 729 vic
tories of Phog Allen, now re
tired. Allen had 209 losses.
Allen's teams rolled out
that total during his 43 years
with Kansas, Baker, Haskell
and Central Missouri State.
Incidentally, Rupp was a
player under Allen at Kansas,
where Phog coached 36 years.
' New York-flJPD-Willie Pep,
former world featherweight
champion, left for Venezuela

For $80,000
, United Press International
Willie Mays, "definitely sat
isfied with a new $80,000 con
tract, looked forward today
to a "steady .340 season" and
a possible National league
pennant for the San Francis
co Giants. :
"We have a good chance for
the pennant because the young
players who helped us so
much last season should "be
better," said the brilliant, 27-
year-old centerfielder. "I'll be
satisfied if I can have a good
steady season and wind up
around .340."
Mays hit .347 and missed
his second batting champion
ship by only three points last
year but conceded, "I drooped
a lot in the middle of the sea
son." Willie was hitting more
than .400 at the end of May
but then went into a long
slump that didn't end until
September.
Willie's new contract makes j
ing was 15.9 per cent, fol-1
al of the St. Louis Cardinals j
$100,000 on the National i

Hams of the Boston Red Sox !
is estimated to receive about
$125,000 and Mickey Mantle t

Grants Pass is a top con
tender for the loop laurels
and its only loss has been to
the league-pacing Southern
College junior varsity. Chris
tie's reportedly was short
handed for that game. The
GP squad is expected to be
stronger for this evening's
brush but the Tiremen are
given a good chance in the
tussle. Medford's club is 3-3
in the circuit.
High scoring is the rule
rather than exception in the
league and tonight's game is
not expected to prove an ex
ception. Both GP and Hawkinson
have a good number of ex
high school players of this
area on their rosters. The Tire
team line-up may be picked
from among Derald Wooton,
Bill Madden, Fuzz McCay,
Fred and Darrell Johnson,
John Niles, Doug Witte and
Bob Serak.
