Baseball Team 'Optimistic'

Senators May Get Miranda
MIAMI, Fla. — (UPI)—The Washington Senators' acquisition of problem pitcher Eilly Loes is believed the forerunner of a deal in which they also would get shortstop Willie Miranda from the Baltimore Orioles.
The Senators sent pitcher Vito Valentinetti to the Orioles yesterday to obtain the 29-year-old Loes—an eccentric right-hander who never has lived up to expectations. A product of the Dodger farm system, Loes has a 67-49 record for eight big league seasons but was 3-9 last season.
The Senators, who think they can
afford to gamble' on Loes' in-and-out performances, are desperate for a shortstop and the light-hitting but fine-fielding Miranda is understood to be available.

Kancon Want Ady Get Resulte

The two rained-out ball games with Washburn have greatly dis appointed the KU baseball team. But with the rain-outs come evitable predictions on the season's outcome.
At this early stage of the season it is hard to find much ground on which to base an intelligent guess. The team has only played three intra-squad games. The remainder of the two months that the team has been practicing has been spent in the field house due to the poor weather conditions.
Provided the warm weather continues, Kansas will entertain the Forbes Air Base baseball team here Friday. The game will be held on Quigley Field south of Allen Field House.
"I think it's unfortunate that a school this size can't afford to send its team south," Bobby Marshall, center fielder and team captain, said. "Almost all the other conference schools send their teams south for some early season games. Small colleges and even some high schools also send teams south."
Bad weather, no southern trip, and the early season rain-outs have brought mixed emotions of optimism and pessimism from the locker room
The majority of the team seems to think that with a few breaks the team could have quite a favorable season.

Patterson-Ingemar Fight Seats Costly
NEW YORK—(UFI) —Promoter Bill Rosensohn will announce the site and price scale today for the Flovd Patterson-Ingemar Johansson heavyweight title fight June 25.
Although he declined to discuss his plans for the press conference, Rosensohn reportedly has decided to stage the fight at Yankee Stadium at a $100 top for ringside seats. There has been only one fight in history where all ringside seats were priced at $100 each. That was the second Joe Louis-Billy Conn clash at the stadium on June 19, 1946, which grossed $1,925,564. First row seats at the John L. Sullivan-James J. Corbett fight in Iowa cost $100 but all other ringside tickets for that classic brawl were priced at $25.

this to say: "I've given it some thought and I believe that if the pitching comes along and the hitting holds up we'll make a good showing. As far as next year goes, with the help of this year's freshmen, we'll have a great chance for the championship."
Another optimist, Joe Doolittle, a pitcher, said: "If the hitting comes along like it should we'll have a real good team. I have no doubts about the pitching."
Some of the team members were a little less optimistic.
Harl Hanson, shortstop and returning letterman said, "We'll let our opponents know we're there, one way or the other."
Not wanting to be too committal, Bill Clinkenbeard, number two pitcher, quipped: "At least we won't forfeit any games!"
Celtics Down Nats In NBA Playoffs
BOSTON — (UPI) — Whatever happens in the National Basketball Association championship playoff series between the Boston Celtics and the Minneapolis Lakers is apt to be anti-claicam.
Little could top last night's thriller in which the Celtics staged a late rally to win the Eastern Division playoffs from the stubborn Syrueuse Nats by copping the seventh and deciding game, 130-125. The best-of-seven final series starts here Saturday, with the second game here Sunday, both to be televised.
