Baltimore New Orleans Open Victory Bowden To Change Training For Mile Melbourne. Australia- (LTD -Don Bowden of San Jose, Calif., only United States run ner who has bettered four minutes for the mile, said to day he will make a radical Athletics Manager Optimistic West Palm Beach, Fla. -CPD-For Harry Craft there's no to day, only a tomorrow. "We just have to wait until our kids are ready, the man ager of the Kansas City Ath letics explains, adding quickly that "they won't be ready for 1959." He's confident, however, that the day is coming when that "second division tag" will be taken off his ball club. "We have a lot of good kids he said. "Fellows like pitch ers Howie Reed, Bob Davis and Ken Johnson and infield ers Lou Klimchock and Alex George. But I'm afraid most of them are a year or tvo away He pointed out that in the four-team winter rookie leag ue, the A's beat out the best farm prospects of the Yankees, Braves and Tigers. Sees Bright Future "That proves our farm sys tem is coming along and doing its job," Craft said. "I've seen enough of our kids to be opti mistic about the future. But as for 1959 well we'll do the best we can. Cetrainly, we can't be rated with the big boys." I he big boys to him are the Yankees, Tigers, White Sox, Indians and Red Sox. Last spring, starting his first full season as manager he took over from Lou Boudreau during the 1957 season Craft set two goals for his club: To win 70 games: To beat the Yankees "at least six times." He wound up winning 73 games, which turned out to be only good enough for seventh place. But the A's were only 4Va games out of the first div ision. As for the Yankees, the A's beat them nine times, losing 13. The year before the Yank ees won the season series be tween the two clubs, 20 games to two.

Cerruty trains Herb Elliott, world's fastest miler. Stampfl trains Merv Lincoln, Austra lia's No. 2 miler. "Stampfl and Cerutty use two very different types of training but each has some thing beneficial. I plan to adopt the best features of both when I get home."

It was the second win in Truex Wins Two-Mile Milwaukee -(LTD - Muscular little Max Truex had to settle today for the second fastest two-mile ever run indoors be cause world record holder Al Lawrence was too tired to chase him in the eighth Mil waukee Journal games. Truex whisked across the finish line in 8:47.2-only four tenths of a second slower than Lawrence's pending world mark, which the black haired Australian set in New York last Saturday night. Truex's exciting run took the edge off Irishman Ron De lany's 32nd straight mile vic tory and an alleged foul which judges thought might have occurred on the final lap as world record holder De lany wrested the lead from Hungarian Istvan Rozsa volgyi. ' A couple of judges thought Delany might have "held" the sub-four minute miler from Hungary. But it was learned that Rozsavolgyi had his el bow out as Delany tried to pass him and Delany pushed it out of the way. Charles Jenkins, the unat tached speedster from Boston, Mass., and a 1960 Olympic hopeful, set one of the six meet records, winning the university 600-yard run.
