Casey Stengel Predicts Another Victory for His Yankee Team JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Stengel, of the Now York Yankees Tuesday predicted another American League pennant for his heavily favored Bombers. But the veteran skipper doesn't believe the Yanks' task will be as simple as most experts visualize. "The league is better," said Casey. "Those second division teams have youth and youth always is trying to win.

Baltimore has good pitching, Kansas City has made trades to improve and Washington has some good pitching and a lot of new young men. "I'd say Chicago is better because it has more pitching and more plnch-hltters. Cleveland always has pitching but they don't know about third base and their outfield. Boston has a great outfield but they aren't sure about the rest of their team." Stengel, who has won seven American League flags and six World Series in eight years at the Bombers' helm, has his club just about set. He's particularly happy about Tony Kubek, 21-year-old rookie outfielder, and the depth of his pitching "Kubek can play any position, outfield or short.

I'm not sick at the way he has done things. I'm, not knocking Elston Howard Or Enos Slaughter or anyone else but Kubok will play quite a lot of left field from now on. "As for the pitching, I've never had so many in my life. Not so many good ones, anyway. When I had bad ball clubs I had 14 or so tout had trouble finding nine who could pitch." Casey named Whitey Ford, Don Larsen, Tom Sturdivant and try Kucks as certain starting pitchers.

He said he will carry 11 for the time being. The list also includes Art Ditmar and Bo to by Shantz, both obtained from Kansas City during the winter, Bob Turley, Bob Grim, Ralph Terry, Tommy Byrne and Al Clcotte. He indicated Shantz, Grim and Byrne would be his front-line relievers. Lauding the spirit of his club, Stengel said, "around here they either have that or, if they don't, there are other men for the Job." tttrrl Port Angeles, HE MONE FOR MONEY NOW-Champion HH rH Ul de Who won a goW med7anS the world title at the Olympics in Australia, makes his S1 Mapes Hotel in Reno 15,000 silver dollars these two boxes.

The Hoi- lywood Stars have a pleasant habit of finishing in the first division of the Pacific Coast League, uninterrupted now for seven years, and there is no reason to believe the custom will be any different this season. Generally, too, the Stars are good boxoffice, particularly on the road, and certainly this should prove true again with the presence of a young homerun slugger named Dick Stuart.

"Sixty-six," as some call dashing Richard in testimonial to the 66 homers he hit at Lincoln in the Western League last year, has promised he will displace Los Angeles' Steve (55) Bilko as the homerun king of the circuit. And, added Stuart, Hollywood will win the pennant pretty much thanks to his batting prowess. Hollywood has a new manager, a very astute ex-pitcher, Clyde King. He makes it plain that Stuart's poor defensive ability may have been a little exaggerated. "I don't think it is as bad as has been pictured," says King.

"But if he can hit 66 home runs we can excuse a few mistakes in the outfield." King has added power at the plate in first baseman R.C. Stevens, who hit 27 homers for Hollywood last year despite missing 43 games from injuries. And Emil Pahko, who collected 33 round-trippers at New Orleans in 1956, should toe a big help once he gets in shape after a delayed arrival in camp this spring. Add to these controversial Carlos Bernier, who could regain the prestige he had. a year or so back under the skillful handling of King.

Hollywood's pitching, with big Ben Wade the No. 1 hurler, looks good at this stage. Over all, Hollywood has received excellent talent from its big league brother, Pittsburgh, and may well be the team to beat in the approaching race. SEATTLE Iff) Half a million Washington ewer, perhaps, if the day is cold and crowd the state's lowland lakes Sunday for the opening day of the 1957 fishing season. Although th3 season is opening a week earlier than in fish were caught 'by the ton in a record first-day reports from State Game Department, field men are optimistic.

Recent warm days have advanced the Insects arc hatching and the trout are active and hungry. The lakes are loaded with fish. Most of the anglers will pack their creels with trout 8 to 14 inches long; some will tie into Rainbows running up to 4 pounds. Last year's "champions," Park and Blue Lakes in the Sun Lakes area of the Columbia Basin, may not provide the 126.163 trout they gave up a year ago on opening day but they are expected to be top fishin' holes again. All available cabins and boats have been reserved at the two lakes.

One more weekend of play remains. The site of the 1958 tourney will be selected Friday at the state association meeting here. By JOE REICHLER NEW YORK Strongest pitching staff in the National League, a well-balanced power attack and a burning desire to atone for their frightful .1956 fall collapse should combine to bring the Milwaukee Braves their first championship. It's not going to be easy. The Braves have weaknesses at second base, left field and in the bullpen.

Position for position, they are not as set as either Brooklyn or Cincinnati.

There is a very good chance Milwaukee will complete a deal with New York for second baseman Red Schoendienst.

2. Brooklyn will badly miss retired Jackie Robinson. 3. Cincinnati hasn't been able to bolster its weak pitching: staff. No other club appears capable of offering any serious resistance.

The St. Louis Cardinals have a better looking team than last year but they still have a grave problem in center field and are not too secure in other positions. Pittsburgh is another improved club, but the Pirates are shy on now. Holman Fights Giant African PORTLAND, Ore. (M Johnny Holman, the veteran Chicago heavyweight, will attempt to find out Tuesday night just how tough the giant South African, Ewurt Potgieter, is.

Holman says size he is 7 feet, 3 inches tall and weighs 325 pounds doesn't frighten him. "'All I have to do is tag him, and he'll drop," the confident Holman said But Holman, until recently ranked among the nation's top 10 heavyweights, will be giving away 125 pounds. He is much faster, of course, than the lumbering South African. The question is whether his sharper punching can outpoint or stop Potgieter before the big man's weight and ponderous punches slow him down. In his last outing, against a relatively inexperienced fighter, Pot- gieter ended the career of 260- pound Bruce Olson.

Knocked out, Olson had to undergo brain surgery to save his life. Retired from the ring, he is recovering power and have only two reliable pitchers. The Philadelphia Phillies have potent pitching but little else. The New York Giants, stripped by Uncle Sam of their young stars, are attempting to plug the vacancies to ease the strain a bit for Willie Mays. Chicago has Bob Scheffing, a new manager, Unfortunately, he is not a playing manager.

Chicago The Braves are standing pat with a team that tossed away the pennant last year and is'going, to find it-hard to forget. But Hapey is counting on Robinson's impugning remarks to light the much- needed fire. The boys are still seething over Jackie's off-the-cuff remarks that gay times and late hours were directly responsible for their pennant loss. Haney, who is doing his best to keep the blaze red hot, is counting on several of his key Mathews, Del Crandall, Danny O'Connell and Pobby Thomson doing a better job. He has no worries regarding Johnny Logan, the most underrated shortstop in the league; Hank Aaron; Joe Adcock; and Bill Bruton.

He has tremendous pitching depth even though Warren Spahn, his 36-year-old ace, mat not win 20. Bob Buhl, Lew Burdette, Gene Conley, Ray Crone, Taylor Phillips, Bob Trowbridge, Red Murff and Juan Pizzaro bode all for opposing batsmen.

By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN CHICAGO WP) Gene Fullmer never had it so good. The bull-necked middleweight boxing champion is looking ahead to his biggest payday. He stands to collect about $80,000 in his 3030 percentage cut with Sugar Ray Robinson of the gate and TV proceeds for defense of his crown May 1 at Chicago Stadium.

When Fullmer defeated Robinson for the title last Jan. 2, in New York, he got only $20,915 while Sugar Ray pocketed "But I got the title, and now it's starting to pay off," says Fullmer. Fullmer, confident he can beat Robinson again, will train in the Ultra-plush surroundings of Tarn O'Shanter Country Club. He opens camp their Monday, the first boxer to do so since Chuck Davey groomed for Kid Gavilan for years ago. "When Davey trained here," said George S.

May, Tarn president, "only club members were invited to watch him. With Fullmer, the public can get in for $1. Members, of course, will be admitted free. But they can't brino; their children this time. Too much disturbance." Gawking kids licking lollipops and playing cowboy and Indians in the corridors were commonplace the time Davey was at Tain.

Gavilan, nlcidentally, knocked out Davey in the 10th round. Robinson, who will continue his training at Greenwood Lake, N.Y. was in his usual dazzling form at Thursday's formal contract signing for the rematch. He was asked if he planned to change his style when he faced Fullmer this time, "I won't know until I get Into the ring and see what Fullrner's going to do," he replied. "Well, in your other fight did Fullmer do anything surprising or that you were not expecting?" he was nsked.

Robinson smiled: "He sure did won the fight." Bobby Hicks Loses Split Ring Decision BOSTON (ffi The 69th annual National AAU Boxing Tournament moved into its semi-f i a I stage Tuesday with six Pacific Northwest scrappers still in the running.
