The Hawks' second consecutive near miss in their bid for a historic National Hockey league crown surprised and pained no one more than it did Reg INDESTRUCTIBLE WARREN SPAHN says there is no secret to his pitching longevity. The winning formula, says thtj great Brave left hander, is hard work, maintaining top physical conditioning, and desire. "So many guys look for an excuse for sub-par performance. What better excuse is there than old age? Each spring I say to myself I've got to be as good, if not better, than anybody in camp.

I never fall back on last year." Now it can be told department: Paul Hornung, the Green Bay Packers' re-polished Golden Boy, agreed to a telephone interview with The Tribune from Florida just before his National Football league suspension was lifted, with the stipulation that his whereabouts be kept secret. "I'm on vacation," Hornung said. "Don't give out my number' or I'll get 40 phone calls a day." Ted Williams, who has a doctor's degree in the subject, tabs Boston's Carl Yastrzemski and Milwaukee's Hank Aaron as baseball's next potential .400 swatters. Aaron disagrees with the master. "The day of the .400 hitter is over," argues Hank.

"Conditions are too tough to maintain such a mark over 162 games. The constant shifting between night and day games is murder. This destroys timing. And the greater use of relief pitchers nowadays doesn't help the batter, either." MANAGER SAM MELE of the Minnesota Twins says he has no disciplinary problems. "These men police themselves.

If one of them gets a little out of line, the others get on him and let him know everyone's job is to stay in shape. I'm not managing a flock of angels. But this is a team that won't beat itself by its conduct off the field." Al Rosen, the one-time Cleveland third baseman, confides that a recent Arizona tour of duty as Indians' batting coach has convinced him his retirement was not premature. "I took just enough batting practice to make me realize I'm done," sighed Al. Tex Winter, Kansas State basketball coach, now can send his lucky brown suit, a veteran of 13 consecutive victories, to the cleaners.

Our congratulations to Wade Stinson, an all-conference football halfback at Kansas 15 years ago, who now leaves a Chicago insurance agency to return to the'Jayhawker school as athletic director. He succeeds Dutch Lonborg, the one-time Northwestern basketball-' coach, who is retiring. TOMMY MCDONALD'S REACTION to his trade from the Philadelphia Eagles to the Dallas Cowboys: "I have four cowboy hats. I knew there must be some reason why I kept them for seven years." The man who took the championship away from the Packers last fall will be honored in Green Bay on April 13. George Halas, coach of the Bears, will be the guest of honor at an Elks' club banquet.

The Elks have' lined up some local fellow named Lombardi to serve as chairman. Willie McCovey of the San Francisco Giants, asked what's to prevent him from hitting 50 home runs this season, replied: "It's between me and the left handed pitchers. I hit 36 off right handers last year and just eight off left handers." Sonny. Handle, St. Louis football Cardinals' end, will operate a boys' camp this summer in Fork Union, Va.

The San Francisco 49ers team physician believes Halfback Billie Kilmer, who suffered a severe leg fracture in an automobile accident last year, has an excellent chance of making a comeback. "But only because it's Kilmer," says Df. Loyd Milburn. "I wouldn't be so optimistic about a player of just ordinary courage." Fleming, the rugged little penalty killer, who made the following prediction to the Wake last August: "We're going to do much better next season. The pressure was just too much last winter.

Everybody shoots at you when you're on top, and they finally shot us down. But it won't, happen twice in a row to us because we'll be looking for the little tell-tale signs that mean fatigue and pressure. We'll be on guard." Fleming has proven to be a much better hockey player than prognostica-tor. The Hawks, after sailing giddily thru 15 games without defeat early in Reg Fleming MOON MULirosrS 3T the season, gradually tailed off to a second place finish behind Montreal despite Sunday night's closing victory in Boston.
