PMMBMMMMaMHMMMHMMMMV LA Coach Avoids Overconfidence On Dodger Hopes By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sportf Editor Vero Beach, Fla. -IUP1I- Wal ter Alston Is wondering if all the baseball men who are picking the Los Angeles Dodgers as the club to beat for the National league pen nant know more about his team than he does. "Sure we have a shot at it, a very good shot," Alston coin "Rut un have a bie 'if here and there. I agree that we have great loomng young sters, but how do I know they will come through for us? And if I don't know, how can the other managers who are saying we are the team to beat?" " If a couple of the young sters come through, if the Dodgers' strong-armed pitch ing staff gains control and if the catching holds up-well, then, according to Alston "the Dodgers should go all the way." "But I'm not going to say we are going to do it at this time. Ask me a month from now and maybe I can give you the answer one way or the other."

And unless John Rose- boro can attain his 1959 form Alston may have to depend on a third rookie, catcher Doug uamiili. ''Both general manager Buzz Bavasi and I would rather have Camilli catching regu larly for one of our minor league clubs than silting on the bench with us," Alston ex plained. "He can use another year of seasoning and he is such a great prospect that we don't want to rush him along too quickly." Camilli is the son of the former National league star, first baseman Dolph Camilli. He hit .281 at Spokane last year. Roseboro, after a fair sea son and a brilliant World Scries in 1959, slipped last year, hitting only .213. Unless he comes back, Camilli will have to stay with the club to take up the slack. As for the pitching staff, Alston explains: "We have a wild bunch of guys. They either strike out the batter, walk him or get behind on the count and then come in over the middle of the plate. They have to better their control and correct such mistakes as giving the batter a fat one to hit when the count is against them." Must Come Through If they do that, and the youngsters come through then Alston figures he "will be all set." 'I look at it this way," he said. "If all of our fellows live up to their potential, we should win. They did that in 1959 and we won. They didn't last year and we finished fourth. "Now each player on the Pittsburgh club played up to his potential last year. That's why the Pirates won the pen nant and the World Series. If any one of five clubs in our league has its players attain ing their potential this season it could win the pennant." Alston put the Cardinals, Giants and Braves In that cat egory along with the Dodgers and Pirates. "I really like the Cardinal prospects," he added. He said on the basis of the way the club plays against the Dodgers, the Cincinnati Reds should be in that group, too. "They have given us more trouble than any other club the past few years," said Al ston. "If they played against the rest of the league the way Coquille, Madras Seek A-2 Crown Coos Bay (UPD Top-ranked Madras and Coquille go to the post here tonight to de termine the 1960-61 state A-2 high school basketball champion. The two squads advanced to the final round by gaining vic tories over Sherwood and Mt Angel Tuesday night.
