Cidad Trujillo, D.R., March 19—(UP)—Manager Leo Durocer of the Brooklyn Dodgers, casting about for a leadoff man to take the place of Ed Stanky, said today that Jackie Robinson might be the man he was looking for.
Robinson was tried in the first position Thursday when the Dodgers blasted the Dominican all-stars, 23 to 5. He hit the first pitch for a home run and later added two doubles. Ralph Branca pitched impressive shutout ball for three innings, then gave up two runs in the fourth.

Sarasota, Fla.-The Boston Red Sox were cheered today by the pitching form of Joe Dobson and Harry Dorish, while the New York Yankees were pleased with the condition of southpaw Ed Lopat.
Dobson and Dorish combined for a fur-hit performance Thursday to beat the Yankees, 3 to 0, while Lopat pitched four scoreless innings for New York.

St. Petersburg, Fla. — The St. Louis Cardinals today had their probable batting array for the regular season in order, although that lineup took a 3 to 2 bating from the Cincinnati Reds Thursday.
The Cards lined up with Stan Musial, 1B; Red Schoendiendi, 2B; Marty Marion, ss; Whitey Kurowski, 3B; Enos Slaughter, if; Terry Moore, cf; Ron Northey, rf; and Del Wilber, c.
The Reds won by getting all their runs in the first inning off George Munger before being held to two hits the rest of the way by Munger and Al Brazlie. Tom Hughes and Harry Gumbert pitched for Cincinnati.

AAU Favorites Advance Into Tourney Semifinals
Denver, March 19—(UP)—It took a long time, but the old guard in A. A. U. basketball finally knocked all the "town" teams and collegians out of the running today to play all by itself in the semi-final round.
The old guard was led by the six-time national champion Phillips 66 Oilers from Bartlesville, Okla. Five of the Oilers' titles have come in the five years.
Also in the running were the Denver Nuggets, seeded No. 2 behind the Oilers, along with the Oakland, Cal., Bittners and the Denver Graybeards. Tonight's schedule was to match the Oilers against the Bittners and the Nuggets against the Graybeards.
The four surviving teams won quarter-final games last night, and all except the fourth-ranking quintet will have places in the playoffs which will determine the U. S. Olympic team.
Graybeards Down Navy
In games last night the Graybeards, with a roster made up mostly of ancient but still adept A. A. U. performers, won 70 to 55 over the fast U. S. Navy Blues from Annapolis. The Graybeards had tough going in the first half and led by a slim 36 to 31 margin at the intermission.
But in the final 20 minutes they jumped far ahead and were never threatened. Robert "Ace" Gruenig dunked 42 points, mostly hook shots off the post. That was a record so far for this tournament, but was far behind the 62 point all-time record for one game held by Gale Bishop, another legendary A. A. U. player.
66 Breesey In
The champion Oilers went easily into the semi-finals with a 58 to 41 win over the Salt Lake City Eckers. It was quite a battle for half the distance, with the Oilers ahead 25 to 20 at the intermission. But the Eckers, a hastily assembled crew of collegians headed by all-American Vern Gardner of Utah, crumbled in the last half.
Their short experience together told in late minutes, and the Oilers, with whom the college try has become a profession, came through with their famed fast break and fine team play.
