Billy Hitchcock is going to give Johnny
first crack, mainly because of his bat and
his lead-off ability.
THERE WE'RE SOME experts sitting
up there" Johnny says with trace of bit
terness pointing to the press box at Miami
Stadium as if it were the writer's lounge
in Cleveland "They said that I'd slowed
up. Maybe they know a lot, maybe they
don't. But, like I said, ball player won't
admit it even if he knows. And don't
know"
Big Jim Gentle, who owes his all to his
bat, not his speed, overhearS. you're an
honest man, Temple" he laughs. II like
that in my teammates"
Johnny ignores the quip. Even if I have
slowed down STEP" he continues I'm
still faster than Red Schoendienst was in
his prime. Would you have called Schoen-
dienst good second baseman? He'll, yes,
he was good. In fact, he was great.
Look, ball player is supposed to reach
his prime at 80. That's what most of the
big minds say, anyway. Well, if that's true,
why should guy be all washed up at 80?
Il had a good first-half season in '61,"
Johnny reminds 81 was hitting over 300.
I didn't finish too we'll and everybody said,
Temple, he's over the hill WE'LL I've got
news for you. Jackie Brandt had a miser-
able last-half of the season. Did everybody
say he was too old and tired? No, Brandt
got nice raise in salary"
TEMPLE is A SPADE-CALLER from way
back. He spoke his mind freely at Cincin-
natl and at Cleveland Most hard-nosed
ball players do So Whether this trait had
any connection with the Indians readiness
to trade him is something only Gabe Paul
can answer
"All know" says Lee MacPhail, general
manager of the Orioles, sis that when the
Adair, put Breeding back on second base
and look for a utility infielder
II knew that Cleveland had a couple
of infielderS, and so I contacted Paul.
Imagine my surprise when Gabe told me
that he didn't have any utility infielders
to spare but that Temple was available.
I never dreamed we'd get Johnny"
Now that he's an Oriole, the veteran
teStifieS that he's satisfied, not only with
his lot but with the clubs pennant poten-
tial. IF Steve Barber weren't in the Army
we'd be rough, Yankees or no Yankees.
Well be rough, anyway, especially if Barber
can pitch week ends. Me, personally, I'm
glad to be playing in a big park little
guy needs big park so he can spray hits.
That's one good thing about the deal The
other is that won't have to hit against
the Baltimore pitching any more"

LINCOLN, r. l., ar. 8 (AP)
An o t h er cancellation was
averted today at Lincoln Downs
when jockeys agreed to ride the
first two races at reduced dis
tanceS of three siXteenthS of a
mile.
After completing the first
two races the jockeys then will
decide if the remainder of the
races will be run at scheduled
distances or if the entire nine
race card would start at the top
of the home stretch and come
down the straightaway to the
finish line.
They had everything at
Lincoln Downs yesterday eX-
cept a mechanical rabbit,
and they could have used one
of those since three accidents
in the first race brought about
dog-race-type horse races at
the winter-locked track.
Ice on the turns gave track
officials the idea of shorten
ing the races from five furlongs
to three-si&teenths of a mile.

VIM LOSE OR DRAW
Johnny Temple Speaks His Piece
BY FRANCIS STANN

MIAMI March 8-Uncle Sam borrowed
Ron Hansen for year of soldering, but to
hear tell in the Baltimore training camp it
isn't the shortStopping that will make or
break the Orioles infield. It's second base
that's critical and the question is Has
Johnny Temple got at least one more good
season in his system?
Jerry Adair will play shortstop as we'll
as Hansen and he's possibly better hit
ter" says Coach George Staller, who han
died both Hansen and Adair as Shortstops
in the minors. "He played second base
last year because this club already had
Hansen, but originally Adair was a short
stop"
Thus it behooveS the Orioles to plug up
second, and the No. l nominee at this time
Is Johnny Temple, once tops in the Ma
tional League. The wire-tough little North
Carolinian is 80 years old and at Cleveland
last season they said he had lost step in
the field. Nonetheless, the Orioles were
pleasantly surprised to land Temple in a
trade last November for the likes of Harry
Chit, Art Kay and Ray Barker.
His black brows beetle when Johnny is
asked to comment on reports that he has
lost some of his speed and agility "A ball
player wouldn't admit it even if he knew
he'd lost step or half STEP" Temple con-
cedes. give got nothing to say. Well have
to wait and see"
TEMPLES PRIDE WAS HURT when he
was traded to Baltimore Or rather, an
original wound was reopened When Johnny
was the top second baseman in the National
League, playing for Cincinnati, he was
traded to the Indians by Gabe Paul, then
general manager of the Reds After he
arrived in Cleveland, who should follow
but General Manager Paul, who snapped
him again - this time to Baltimore,
ut was more than PRIDE" Johnny says.
'You see, had bought this big guest ranch
outside of Tucson, Ariz., where the Indians
train. I never dreamed I'd have to leave
it until the regular season started. But
since I couldn't get anybody to run it
properly, had to SELL"
Johnny, who has the rare distinction of
having been chosen by the National and
American Leagues as the All-Star Game

about the trade to the Orioles 81 came
out Of the ranch deal smelling like rose"
Temple said. Il got my money back,
although I really wanted to keep the
ranch"
If Temple doesn't win the second base
job, it automatically will be awarded to

dian in 1860, or until Adair was converted
last spring. But it's no secret that Manager

Kansas State, the Nations
third ranked college basketball
team, has gone as far as it can
in a longshot quest of a spot
in a poSt-SeaSon tourney.
But the odds are stacked
against the Wildcats, who can
only sit and wait.
Kansas State closed its reg
ular season with a convincing
1850 humping of Nebraska
last night, running its season
mark to 1913 and it's conference
mark to 1872. 1t also kept alive
Wildcat hopes of a tie for the
conference title.
They can tie only if Colo
RADIO is upset by Kansas in the
BuffaloeS' final game Saturday.
Colorado holds a 12-1 confer
ence record. The conference
winner gets one of four re-
manning spots in the NCAA
tournament. The runnerup is
through for the season.
Tie Would Necessitate Poll
Should Kansas State and
Colorado tie, the conference
members will be polled to de-
eide whether a playoff or flip
of a coin will be used to de-
termine the NCAA tourney
team.
Two of the other NCAA
berths will be decided tenor
row. Texas Tech and Southern
Methodist, tied for the South
west lead, have a playoff game
in Fort Worth. st. JoSeph'S and
Temple play in Philadelphia
for the Middle Atlantic title.
The winner goes to the NCAA,
the loser to the National Invi-

matching Cincinnati and Brad
ley. There, too, the winner goes
to the NCAA and the loser to

DeMatha Uses Austin as Decov
To Dazzle Eastern and 1850
BY CARL SELL
Star Staff Writer

Coach Morgan Wootten of
DeMatha High School was
forced to sacrifice All-Metro-
politan John Austin before
record throng of 1880 at last
nights city championship bas-
ketball game at Maryland's Cole
Field House, and the strategy
surprised Eastern as much as
it did the fans.
The crowd was announced at
capacity for the field house,
and many more fans were I'M
able to gain admission because
Of fire regulations.
With Austin being used
mainly as a decoy, DeMatha
defeated Eastern, 56-48, to
avenge last years loss to
Spingarn in the title game be-
fore 10000, the previous high
for a schoolboy basketball game
in the area.
Spingarn knocked off
Mackin, $3.50, in overtime in
the preliminary game. The
regulation contest wound up
tied at $3.50 and Spingarn
completely dominated play dur
ing the three-minute extra
session.
Injury Hampers Austin
Austin was unable to play
at anywhere near full speed
because of a pulled hamstring
muscle in his right leg. Wootten
told him to act as a decoy to
force openings for Gary Ward
and Johnny Jones.
And Austin carried out Woot-
tens orders to the letter. While
Eastern was ganging up on the
6-foot backcourt ace, Ward and
Jones were getting the openings
and making the most of them.
Ward was high scorer with II
points and Jones had 16, mostly
on jump shots from the outside.

champion. broke EaStern's back
by jumping off to an Ito lead
in the first four minutes. The
Ramblers recovered nicely, but
never were able to get closer
than four points at 1870 in
the third quarter.

POMPANO BEACH, Fla,
Mar. 8.-After just two weeks
with the pitchers and catcherS
and one. with the remainder of
the squad, the Senators opera
ton is running considerably
smoother than last year and
Manager Mickey Vernon has
fewer problems.
The biggest load off Vernon'S
mind is cutting the squad. This
is going to be an easier task
late this month than it was
last year. Mickey is going to
keep the six outfielders in camp
and is virtually set on seven of
the eight infielders, the two
catchers and more than half
the pitchers.
The Senators have been for
tunate in escaping injuries of
any consequence. The weather
has been excellent except for
the last two days, and the prac-
tice facilities are much better,
One Weight Problem
Gene Woodling presents the
only weight problem and Ver-
non is not concerned about his
rightfielder. Gene knows how
to train and get his weight
down and he'll be ready
Mickey said.
Also, the Senators expanded
farm setup will make for more
controlled placement of those
sent down. Last year Wash
ington had only Pensacola OF
the Alabama-Florida League
and Middlesboro of the Appa-
lachian Rookie League. The
latter doesn't open until June
This year the Senators still
have Pensacola and Mindless
boro, have added Raleigh ir
the Glass B Carolina League
with a full working agreement
and have limited arrange
ment with Syracuse in the In
ternational League.
Last year, before the trip
North, the Senators sent BOZ

sore shoulder that will keep him
out of Saturdays opening ex-

Ron Kline and Infielder Don

Infielder Daryl Robertson suf-
fered a severe strain of his
right ankle during fielding

Pitchers were involved in the
other accidentS-none of the
serious variety. Ray Sadecki
