nt iiwq rrminj -THE LEADER-POST, REGINA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1959- -PAGE TWENTT-NINB Nino Valdes slips Pitching problem Cub prospects not too bright Major shuffle in mitt ratings NEW YORK (AP) Charley I mar Johansson, was dropped to Powells shocking win over Nino sixth place Tuesday1. Valdes has resulted in a major shuffling of the heavyweight rankings by Ring Magazine. Valdes, who was -ranked second contender behind Swedens Inge- CHET WALLICK Childs will miss meet Novel mat feature 1958, and lefthander Bill Henry (5-4), who had an almost idetiH. cal 2.89. The regular starting lineup will look something like this: Cal Nee-man (.259) or Sammy Taylor 159) at catcher.

Long (.271) at first, Tony Taylor (.235) at second, Banks (.315) at short, A1 Dark at third, and Wall Thomson (.283) and Moryn (.264) In the outfield. Scheffing is somewhat appre- hensive about his bench but thinks he may get help from Earl Averill, acquired from Cleveland during the winter. Averill, who plays eifield, infield and catcher, nit .347 for San Diego and was the Pacific Coast League most valuable player. Jim Marshall, a first baseman-outfielder who hit five homers for Chicago late last season, siso will be used In reserve. In 1958, the Cubs were second only (o San Francisco in team scoring Banks vra the major run producer 47 homers and 1T9 Kills.

Bui Ifpryn, Walls, Thomson atid Long hit at least 20 homers each and none drove In fewer than 72 runs. i afr4ft wivitf 0 wwl MESA, Ariz. (AP) Chicago Cubs have finished in the second division of the Nauonal League 11 solid years and. unless they achieve overnight pitching prosperity, they may have trouble keeping better company this year. This is almost exactly the same team that finished last season in a fifth-place tie with St.

Louis. Even this modest achievement is a bit misleading because the Cubs wound up only a game out of seventh place. Chicagos leading man still is Ernie Banks. Behind him is a good supporting cast of long ball hitters such as Walt Moryn, Dale Long, Bobby Thomson and Lee Walls. But long hitters in awesome clusters hsve failed before to compensate entirely for paltry pitching.

So the Cubs cannot count on taking higher ground with a big bat alone. Manager Bob Scheffing thinks his pitchers have good potential but admits lie's not certain the potential will be realized this year. Dave Hillman, who was 4-8 last year, could be the only starter over 25. Hes 31. Moe Drabowsky (9-11) is 23 and Dick Drott (7-11) is 22.

Drabowsky is recovering from a thumb fracture suffered in an exhibition game this spring. Other youngsters looking for starting jobs include Bob Anderson, 23, t3-3), Glen Hobbie, 22, (10-6) and southpaw Taylor Phillips, 25, (7-10). In the bullpeu again will be Don Elston (9-8), who had a superlative 2.88 earned-run average in KEEN CURLERS: Thess Reginans have all lost the use of one of their arms, Lut sull manage to get out to the curling rink a games a week.

Baragar 412 Doeruig 405. About a' week ago eight men visited a local curling rink and played a friendly game. Although they were greatly handicapped, they probably enjoyed themselves -a great deal more than the average Joe who hits the rink for his one game a Week. One rink consisted of amputees and the members of the other quartet were blind. As the game progressed, curlers on both rinks started to liven it up and soon thd comments were flying and it became js general uproar.

The blind rink triumphed, but skip Ross Kidd of the amputee foursome stated that his rink is going to be tough to beat in the return match. BLIND HAVE SWEEPERS The blind rink used two other fellows for sweeping rocks, Kidd said, and I usually told them when to sweep. But next game, Im not going to say anything. I dont want to get beaten again." A few instances made me laugh, the 51-year-old CPR-employee continued. When the skip of the blind rink, Gil Par-ady, gave his members ice, they were continually disagreeing with him.

"After a few such occasions, Tarady gave them a piece of his mind. You cant see anyway, now hurry up and shoot your rock and stop wasting time, was one at his joking remarks. Several times the members of the blind rink would want to know the score. When they Gress, Bob Bruce and John Clifton. The Kidd rink curled together for the first time this year.

In fact, Clifton curled his first game of his life against the blind rink. Were atrongest at our knockout game, Kidd stated. What little sweeping we do doesnt help our draw shots." The rink members put the end of the broom under one armpit while they are sweeping. Kidd has lost his right arm, while the other members have lost their left arms. Besides curling, Kidd participates in several other sports.

A good baseball player a number of years back, the ski does quite a bit of skating and bowling now. Kidd could pitch with either arm in baseball. One day he injured his right hand so he went in and hurled from the left side. STARTED IN 1920 Originally from a 1 1 Kidd curled in 1920, then quit and didn't begin again until a few years ago. Gress and Bruce both started to curl in 1948, while Clifton held a broom in his hand for the first time this year.

Starting out at the Regina Club when he curled for Fred Willey, Gress now does all his curling in commercial leagues. Born in Bromhead, the 39-year-old Gress works for Family Allowance. Bruce, 38, who also works for Family Allowance, has curled commercially since he first started. Clifton, 55, is an em ployee of the CNR. LONDON (AP) Donald Campbell, world water speed king, left London Tuesday for the United States and another world speed bid this time on land.

I am going to Salt Lake City for talks about my bid to better the land speed record next year, Campbell said. Im hoping my car will be able to do more than 500 miles an hour. The world land speed record of 394.2 m.p.h. was set by the lata Sir John Cobb on Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, in 1947., -Campbell roared his jet boat Bluebird to a record water speed of 248 62 rq p.h. last Nov.

10. schoolboy in third place HARRISBURG, owner of Springfield Indians is believed to have placed the club's American Hockey League franchise on sale for $250,000, the Harrisburg Evening News savs. The newspaper said owner Eddie Shore would like to drop the Massachusetts club's franchise in order to obtain a Western Hockey League franchise in either San Francisco or Los Angeles, where attempts have been made to attract the sport. Both New York Rangers and Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League are interested in purchasing Springfield's franchise, The News said. One of the indications of Shore's Impending move was to place eight players, considered of top AHL or WIIL calibre, on waivers, according to The News.
