(AP) If you only have eyes for Centralis and Madison as state title favorites, take another look at Chicago in the Illinois prep basket- race. For the big city still has five' teams in the running and none is a pushover. I Ranked as the top threat from I the Chicago Public School Leaguej is DuSable.

The two winners then will clash Friday for the league crown and an automatic berth in the state finals. Marshall's Commandos, a solid team again this season, are seeking to maintain their Chicago MACK JONES SPARKLING FOR BRAVES "WELCOME ABOARD" Tourney Notes Jim McCoskey, of Murphysboro, one of southern Illinois' veteran cage officials, called it quits after working the Eldorado regional last weekend. McCoskey, who operates a cleaning and pressing plant in Murphy, had been calling 'em for 36 years.

He started with grade school games land took up prep officiating in 1928. He worked the state finals in Champaign on five occasions. J. Ward Barnes, Eldorado principal, arranged a farewell party for McCoskey after the regional final.

They have two sparkling guards in 6-3 Raymond James and 5-6 Mike Lewis.

Coach Jim Brown insists that his current entry is better on de fense and possesses a stronger bench than the last time he took DuSable to the state. That was in 1954, when Du- Sable's run-and-shoot team led by Paxton Lumpkin, Charlie Brown and Shellie McMillon, was upset by Mount Vernon In the championship game. DuSable's sole defeat this season came from Ind. Tolleston, 68-64 last month. Carver, favored over Parker in their match, gets its main scoring punch from 6-5 Cazzie Russell, tabbed by many coaches and prep experts as Chicago's best player.

Besides the four public school survivors, Chicago has St. Pat-j rick as another prospect for the! the Braves' three exhibition con tests. He also has driven in eight runs and has been conducting himself as though he is made to order. As a result of the expansion of the National League to 10 teams, Ihe Braves lost flyehasers Frank Thomas and John Demerit to the New York Mets and Al Spangler to the Houston Colts. That left Hank Aaron and Lee Maye to the man two of the spots, and Tebbets had to start scrambling for another replacement.

Jones, a 6-1, 180-pound lefty swinger, hit .326 with 11 homers at Louisville last year. Toward the end of the season the Braves brought him up for a look, and he compiled an undistinguished .231 mark in 28 games with nary a homer. Jones clouted No. 4 Monday and drove in another run in the Braves' 5-1 decision over the Cincinnati Reds at Bradenton, Fla. Catcher Bob Ueker also hit a Breese, Mt.

Hickman, 24, went down when the ball hit and was taken to a Sarasota hospital.

X-rays proved negative, and physicians said they were certain he was not hurt badly. He was to return to the club today. Hitchcock saw star pitcher Milt Pappas taken to a hospital, where he was operated on for appendicitis. Pappas, who compiled 3.03 last year on a 13-9 record, complained of pains Monday morning and was operated on a few hours later. The Mets at least won their game, whipping the White Sox, 8-4.

Don Zimmer collected four hits, and Elio Chacon connected for a bases-loaded triple. Pappas wasn't the Orioles' only loss of the day.
