Twins' Mound Corps Preparing for Yanks
By United Press International
Manager Sam Mele, who guided the Minnesota Twins to a surprising second place finish in the American League race last season, is whipping his pitching staff into shape for another crack at the world champion New York Yankees.
Southpaw Jack Kralick became the second Minnesota pitcher to pitch a full nine innings yesterday in blanking the Baltimore Orioles, 2-0, on six hits. Just last Saturday, the Twins' top left-hander, Jim Kaat, went the route against the Philadelphia Phillies.
NO OTHER major league team has had two pitchers go all the way this spring. In fact, only three other pitchers—Johnny Podres of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Paul Brown of the Phils and Gordon Seyfried of the Cleveland Indians—have gone the distance during the exhibition season.
Kralick, who pitched a no-hitter last year, scattered four hits in eight innings yesterday before weakening with two out in the ninth inning. Jim Gentile and Joe Gaines singled but Kralick got the last batter on a ground out. Vie Power's first inning home run off Robin Roberts and Earl Battey's sacrifice fly in the sixth provided for the Twins' runs.
The San Francisco Giants, who came close to beating the Yankees in the World Series, suffered their fourth straight defeat to the Los Angeles Angels, 4-2. Bob Sadowski's grand slam homer in the ninth inning came off rookie Danilo Rivas.
THE DODGERS and Phils both unleashed their powerful hitting attacks. The Dodgers ripped the Pittsburgh Pirates, 19-6, and the Phils walloped the St. Louis Cardinals, 16-8.
Jack Fisher, who had pitched eight scoreless innings, walked three Angels in the ninth before giving way to Rivas.
In other games, the Chicago White Sox tripped the New York Mets, 2-1; the Detroit Tigers downed the Yankees, 2-1; the Milwaukee Braves beat the Cincinnati Reds, 7-5; the Houston Colts clipped the Chicago Cubs, 6-4; the Cleveland Indians bopped the Boston Red Sox, 5-3, and the Kansas City Athletics defeated the Washington Senators, 7-6.
Baker Signs With Rams
LOS ANGELES — (UPI) It took a long time but the Los Angeles Rams finally landed the no. 1 prize of the 1962 collegiate football season — All America quarterback Terry Baker of Oregon State.
Baker, who couldn't sign until the end of the basketball season, flew here yesterday from Portland, Ore., and was greeted at the airport by Elroy Hirsch, assistant to Ram president Daniel Reeves. A brief conference followed, and within an hour after the plane landed, Baker was signed to a 1963 contract.
The Colorado Buffaloes baseball hopes are grim as only three starters return from a team that compiled a 9-10 league record last year to finish sixth.

The returning starters are shortstop Tom Dutcher, who batted 273.

catcher Dick Dodge, a .236 hitter, and pitcher Ray Melvin, who compiled a 5-3 record.
IN ADDITION to these mainstays, two other lettermen return. They are footballer Leon Mavity, a left fielder who hit .269 and catcher Rob Bennett, whose 1962 average was .200. This year, Bennett will start behind the plate and Dodge will be stationed at first base.
In a nutshell, the Buffaloes hitting attack looks weak, its defense appears ordinary, and Melvin is the only established pitcher.
With defending souri, Oklahoma and Kansas all
teams this year, it appears that the Buffalooes will be fortunate to gain a respective second division finish.
THE BUFFS might get some help from three basketball players who reported following the Mid-West Regional. The three are Lonnie Melton, a second baseman; Gene Sparks, who can play either first or third base, and Adrian Mohr, a pitcher-outfielder.
The best bets for the Buffalo pitching corps behind Melvin are sophomores Kent Johnson and Jim LaFoe, junior George Cattemole, senior Steve Spangler, who lettered two years ago but not last year, and Mohr.

Does a man really take unfair advantage of women when he uses Mennen Skin Bracer?
All depends on why he uses it.
Most men simply think Menthol-Iced Skin Bracer is the best after-shave lotion around. Because it cools rather than burns. Because it helps heal shaving nicks and scrapes. Because it helps prevent blemishes.
So who can blame them if Bracer's crisp, long-lasting aroma just happens to affect women so remarkably?
Of course, some men may use Mennen Skin Bracer because of this effect.
How intelligent!
