Central Loop North Clubs List Talent By "CHUCK" MUELLER FORT of teams in the Northern Division of the Central Wisconsin Baseball League met at Poplar Point here Monday night to register their rosters for the 1957 season. The annual roster session was presided over by Joe Toman, sports editor of the Watertown Daily Times and vice president of the division. In recent years Central Wisconsin league roster se.ssions have avoided conflicts of earlier years. It is possible that more thaa one team may list a player without a decision being reached at the roster session. Division rules pi'ovide that the player himself may make the choice and he will become a member of the team with whom he appears in tlie opening However, if he playM with another team in the l(X)p the previous year the transfer requires agreement from that team, or he may become the property of the team of his choice after sitting out a specified number of games.

Managers decided that box scores will be submitted by the home team to the league secretary, vvlio will compile official batting averages for the- Noi'thern Division. Tlie Northern Division will open its season on May 12 while the Southern half will open one week earlier on Sunday. May 4. Both divisions' will play an 18-game schedule with playoffs for the league title scheduled to start on Sept. 8.

The Southern Division will hold its roster meeting at Walworth on April 25. The Northern rosters: Fort Atlilnstm Blacklmwks CJnry Ml- chcls, Dan O'Brien, Frenlzol. Don Van Sohoyck.

CURLY KAYOE By Sam Lett THEY'RE AT IT LIKE A COUPLE OF WILDCATS' THEY SURE AIN'T LOSIN' ANY TIME; THArs KCAUSE ViiYK BOTH FIGHTING I FOR A CRACK AT THE LIGHTWEIGHT Montreal Leads Playoffs. 2-0 MONTREAL W) Montreal's Flying Frenchmen, defending Stanley Cup champions, today were prohibitive favorites to capture their ninth trophy after all but crushing the Cinderella hopes of tho underdog Boston Bruins. A Bernie (Boom Boom) Geoffrion pass, and a deceptive piece of stick work by Jean Beliveau accounted for the only goal Tuesday night as the Canadiens defeated the Bruins, 1-0 to take a substantial 2-0 lead in the best-of-7 final National Hockey League playoff series. The scene shifts to Boston Thursday for the third game with the Bruins hoping they will rebound on home ice. The fourth game also will be P'layed in Boston Sunday.

Montreal goalie Jacques Plante accomplished the feat of shutting out the Bruins for the first time since Chicago managed it Oct. 30, 1.956. Plante turned aside 24 shots. Rookie Boston goalie Don Simmons turned in a neat performance for the Bruins and forced the Canadiens to abandon their forceful offense for a deliberate defense, but Belireau slipped through for the clincher. Green Bay Coach Hints of Trade Danny O'Connell Hits .308 Average TULSA, Okla.

O'Cbn- nell, off to a slow spring start, has picked up speed and is fielding spectacularly and has boosted his batting average to .308 for the Milwaukee Braves. "I can't figure it out. But who cares as long as it keeps up," the second baseman said as be explained he didn't know why things have gotten better. BROWNS SIGN FOUR CLEVELAND The Qeveland Browns Tuesday signed guard Harold Bradley, tackle Mike McCormack, linebacker Galen Fiss and halfback MILWAUKEE Coach Lisle of Green Bay Packers hinted Tuesday night of a as sensational as any ever completed in the National Football League." Blackbourn made the disclosure in a speech before aibout 200 members of Second Guessers, a group of men devoted to sports. The Packers coach declined to name any player involved in the deal.

He said he expects an announcement; in about two weeks. He denied published reports that the Cleveland Browns have bid for Tobin Rote, Green Bay's seasoned quarterback who has yet to agree to terms for the 1957 season. Rote Not Involved There is no deal underway at the present time involving Rote, said Blackbourn. "He does not figure in the current talks." Asked whether Rote might be considered "untouchable" by other NFL club, Blackbourn declared "No one is untouchable." Blackbourn said he is going to Houston, Texas, next week to discuss contract terms with Rote, whose talk about retiring hasn't convinced the Packers he's ready to quit pro ball. It was learned that linebacker Roger Zatkoff, another Packer who speaks about retirement, is likely to figure in any Green Bay trade talks.

Quarterback Bobby Garrett also is mentioned as trading material. DefenM If the Packers make a deal. It will be done to bulwark their defense, weakened by Zatkoff's proclaimed retirement plans and Deral Teteak's resignation to take a coaching job at Wisconsin, his alma mater. Zatkoff has an off-season job in Detroit, his hometown, and has said he's tired the trek to Green Bay to play football a few months each year. However he is said to be interested in playing for his hometown Detroit Lions.

Garrett is lil6ly trading material because he is one of. four quarterbacks in the Green Bay garage this season. Homung at Half The Packers are well enough supplied wath quarterbacks to consider playing their newest signal- caller, talented Paul Homung, at left halfback. Blackbourn said he plans to use Homung at quarterback in one exhibition game, but he said he does want to give Notre Dame's Heisman Trophy winner a thor- ougfh trial at left half.

Celtics Take Playoff Lead BOSTON comeback Boston the national Basketball Assn. finals at last- agree with St. Louis Coach Alex Hannum that rebounds will decide the championship. The teams are headed West for what could be the concluding game tomorrow night after Boston downed the Hawks 124-109 last night to take a 3-2 edge in the best-of-scven series. After twice coming from behind to deadlock the competition, the favored Celtics finally moved ahead.

Several days earlier Hannum had said, "Rebounding will be the deciding factor in the series." As if to prove the point, Boston pulled the ball of the boards 13 times to 60 for St. Louis. St. Louis ace Bob Pettit got only one rebound, in the second half after, hauling in 14 before intermissioh. Meanwhile, Boston rookie center sensation Bill Russell.

grabbed 14 of his 23 in the second half to help the Celtics build up a 343-287 advantage over the hustling Hawks in the first five games. Bill Sharman scored 32 points, Vacation Trips Interrupt Fort Baseball Practices Pago 15 it JANESVILLB DAILY OAZCm HOBDNESDAY, APRIL 10. On FORT ATKINSON-Coach Loren Rheineck had his Fort Atkinson High School outfield candidates shagging flics for a brief time Monday afternoon but chilling winds and soggy turf kept the remainder of the squad indoors as the Cardinal bayeball hopefuls began their second week of practice. Rheineck got his squad outdoors Tuesday. After the practice, four members who are almost certain of starting jobs left on spring vacation trips to the southwest.

They will return the weekend before the Cardinals open witli a nonleague tilt with Whitewater on Monday, April 22. Veteran hurler Russ Nit- ardy, short.stop-pitcher Jim CoiTi- gan, second baseman Dick Louis and outfielder Charlie Hoefs are the players on tlie trip that will include a stopover at Carlsbad, New Mexico, where the Fort Atkinson senioi's will visit friends whom they met during the exchange student plan with the Carlsbad schools last year. They hope to work out with the Carlsbad High Scliool baseball squad. They took their equipment with them and will hold daily viforkouts tliem- selves. Hoofs was formerly a catcher and will provide an adequate batterj' mate for Nitardy and Corrigan.

Bill Hess, who was moved froni centerfield to first base at the start of practice this year, will be out of the city all next week, visiting in Washington. Rheineck is doubtful that practice will be possible next week because so many of the squad's members have made plans for the week of spring vacation. Rheineck welcomed four new squad members this week Ed Doebereiner, a senior who is a right handed pitching prospect, and three John Pundsack, outfielder Gary Langbecker and pitcher-third baseman Steve Rogers. Rogers played three years of Little League Ijall and last season was a top perfonner in Pony League. He's smalt but possesses a strong throwing arm and Rheineck is giving him a careful screening as a mound hopeful.

The shifting, of Hess from centerfield to first base probably will send sophomore Sid Frame to third base. Fraine did an outstanding job for the Fort Atkinson Jim- ior Legion team at that spot last summer. He showed ability with his glove and possesses a strong throwing arm. Brightest prospects for the outfield include either Hoefs or CUtf Holmes in left, Jim Kleinhans in center and either Bob Haugom or Larry Wendorf in right. Lyle Myers leads the catching candidates, with Rich Louis at second base rookie Tom Meinsohn 23 and Russell 14 as team strength buried the Hawks, wliose Pettit hit on 13 of 21 field goal tries and wound up with 33 points.

and Corrigan at shortstop. Nitap- dy heads the pitching stalf, which also includes a fine sophomore righthander in big Roger Bottlemy. Fort Atkinson will open its Bads' er Conference season as iwst to Middleton on April 25. The Lake Mills L-Cats are here in a league tilt on April 30 and on the following day the Cardinals will meet the Eagles at Jefferson. ENTERS REST HOMIB ST, PKTERSBURGH, Fla.
