Coaches Warned Not To Relax Vigilance
'No Cure-Alls'
For Cage Scandals
By TIM MORIARTY
I'PI Sports Writer
NEW YORK I UPI "-Joe Up
hick warned his fellow college
basketball coaches today not to
relax their vigilance "just because
lack Molinas is going to jail.
"There is no such thing as a
ure-all for these scandals." said
the lanky St. John's University
oach after Molinas was sentenced
o 10 to 15 years in state prison
is the "master fixer" in basket
ball's latest bribery case.
"We coaches can't sit back now
nd feel this can't happen again."
Lapchick added. "We have to
maintain constant vigilance. There
are always guys around like Mo
linas who feel they can make a
fast buck by fixing games."
Lapchick. who turned to coach
ing in 1936 after playing for the
iriginal Celtics, said he was
pleased that Molinas "got more
than a slap on the wrist."
Maybe this stiff enally will
serve as a deterrent to other
would-be fixers." he said. "Let's
hope so, anyway."
Lapchick always has felt that
oaches should do their utmost to
protect their players from gam
blers "and other shadv charac
ters." He keeps a scrapbook con
taining clippings of bribe stories
and insists that his players read
it before the start of every sea
son.
"Tie coaches have an obliga
tion to their players in this re
spect," he declared. "And not
just basketball coaches. All sports
leaders in general should be wary
of gamblers and other racket
guys."
New York Hist. Ally. Frank S
Hogan blew Ihe first whistle on
Molinas last May when Ihe for
mer Columbia University court
star was arrested. It was Hogan
who stamped Molinas as the mas
ter fixer" in a ring that even
tually involved 47 players from 2"
colleges.
Judge Joseph A. Sarafite of the
New York State Supreme Court
sentencing Molinas Monday
virtually echoed Hogan's words.
'Molinas was the prime mover
of the conspiracy the person
most responsible." said the judge.
adding that the 30-year-old dis
barred attorney is "a completely
amoral person, who not only man
aged this conspiracy but also per
sonally approached many of the
players and corrupted many of
them."
Sarafile also meled out lesser
terms to three of Molinas' as

The veteran Bailey, who had

Also signed were utility inficld

McCovey baited .293 last year
while enjoying his best season
since 1959 when he was named
the National league rookie of the
year. He smashed 20 home runs,
two of them as a pinch hilter,
and drove in 54 tallies.
The willowy southpaw ended the
World Series by lining out to sec
ond baseman Bobby Richardson
of the Yankees. If the smash had
heen two feet one way or the
other. McCovey would have driven

output fell to five as he batted
278. compared with his lifetime
batting average of .300.
The veteran last season was ap
pointed captain of the Dodgers
and was hopeful of achieving a
few more milestones this year. He
needs only five more hits to join
the men who have achieved 2.000
more hits in the National
League.
Snider goes into his 17th sea
son with 389 homers to his credit
and standing ninth on the all-time
list and fourth in the National
League. But his four-bag produc
tion last year was far off the
pace of 40 or more homers he
hit from 1953 through 1957 while
in Brooklyn.
The "Duke also is the all-time
leader in extra base hits for the
Dodgers with 814 and runs batted
in with 1,271.
At the same time, Bavasl an
nounced the signing of catcher
John Roseboro and uifielder Daryl
Spencer. Roseboro was signed for
around $23,000 and received a
raise of about $3,000 while Spencer
will get $23,000. a cut of about
$2,000 from last season.
Spencer appeared in but 77
games last season and batted .236.
The veteran National League in-
fielder, however, reported from
his Wichita, Kan., home that ha
had been working out regularly
and hoped to get off to a stronger
start this season.
Roseboro also had his batting
average drop to .249 last season
hut was the club s top catcher
and ranked as one of the fastest
base-running catchers in the ma
jors.
