Walt Alston Scans Pitching
•Staff For Do-Or-Die Season
VERO BEACH. Fla.. March 24
UP—Manager Walt Alston may be
all through in Brooklyn if the
Dodgers don't win this year but he
said Wednesday he feels they can
because of a "better bench, a bet-
ter pitching staff and my own bet-
ter knowledge of the National
League.”
Alston, about to launch a session
which could make or break him as
^a major league manager, said he
Wdoes not especially fear the world
champion New York Giants.
"We're certainly as strong, if
not stronger than they are.” he de-
clared, "and we have a better
bench.
Teases Aside Caution
Tossing aside his customary
caution, to a greater degree than
usual, anyway, Alston scanned his
pitching roster and said the staff
was hound to be stronger than it
^was last year when it failed to
▼number a single 20-game winner.
For one thing, the Dodger pilot
explained, southpaw Johnny Pod-
res, who was sidelined because of
an appendectomy last year and
wound up with an 11-7 record, fig-
ures to get more regular work.
Don Newcombe should improve on
his disappointing 9-8 mark ..and
lefty Karl Spooner, who broke in
with a pair of shutouts last Septem-
ber, "looks like he'll help a lot.”
Another reason for Alston’s op-
Atimism is right-hander Ed Roe
^ buck, who is getting his second
trial with the Dodgers. Roebuck
won 18 games with Montreal of the
International League and has been
one of the most impressive pitchers
in camp. j
Starting Staff Good
From the way ho spoke, Alston
considers his starting staff of Carl
Erskine, Billy Locs, Spooner, Pod-
res and Newcombe as good as any
in the league. That would still
Aleave Russ Meyer available for
^spot assignments with Jim Hughes
and Clem Labine in relief. South-
paw Sandy Koufa.x. a bonus play-
er, probably will see occasional
service. *
That leaves pitchers like Roe-
buck, Bob Milliken. Joe Black, Iirv
Palica, Pete Wojey, Ken Lehman,
Tom 1-asorda and Ron Negray bat-
tling for one or two remaining
berths.
Alston's insistence that the Dod-
gers will have a better bench this
year stems from the presence of
such men as infielders Chico Fer-
nandez, Charley Neal and Norm
Larker and outfielder Bert Hamric.

Double Play Popular
Fernandez and Neal form a snap-
py double play combination and
in the field. Larker, a left-handed i |JJ
hitting first baseman ’ who has no
chance to dislodge Gil Hodges but
might remain, anyway, brings a
.326 average from Mobile of the
Southern Association while llamric
batted .350 and drove in 45 runs
in 88 games at St. Paul.
Along with Fornandez and Neal.
Alston is using shortstop Don Zim-
mer as much as he can. Two of the
three undoubtedly will be retained
to spell or even take over for vet-
erans Pee Wee Rese and Jackie
Robinson.
Don Hoak continues at third base
while Junior Gilliam, who possibly
may be traded, is available for
service at either second base or
the outfield.
CHICAGO, March 23 JP—Nimble
Willie Pastrano, a 19-year-old New
Orleans middleweight with a sting-
ing left jab and sharp right upper-
cut, tonight hammered out a unan-
imous 10-round decision over lung-
41.2 set last year by Texas' Dean
Smith, Charles Thomas,
Frieden and Jerry Prewitt.
Texas and Houston are expected
to stage a two-team battle for the
championship, with SMU and Bay-
lor the top challengers. TCU and
Texas Tech round out the univers-
ity field.
North Texas State is the favorite
in the* college field. The other P3.1! T*
Hebert led some 55 professionals
Alvin over 'he palm lined bayshore
course in a tune-up for the $12,500

good enough to win him first plaee
by only one stroke.
Peter Thomson of Melbourne,
Australia, and Fred Hawkins of El
Paso, Tex., tied for third with 66's.

Outfield Centers on Snider
The Brooklyn outfield, naturally,
centers around Duke Snider, who
drove in r30 runs and smashed 40
homers while battihg .341 last sea-
son.
Right fielder Carl Furillo has
been clouting the ball well and
says he feels he'll better his .294
average of last year while Sandy
Amoros is» several jumps ahead of
George Shuba and Walt Moryn for
the left field berth. Robinson may
be used in the outfield, too. from
time to time as he was last season.
The apparent recovery of Roy
Campanella from a hand injury
that brought his batting average
all the way down to .207 is the
big topic of conversation with all
the Dodgers. Campanella gives no
evidence of any pain in his hand.
Should the trouble return. Rube
Walker remains ready to take over
although Brooklyn keeps looking
for another catcher.

NEW YORK. March 23—UP—
Tom Gola of LaSalle, three-time
All America basketball star, turned
professional Wednesday with tho
announcement that he will be cap-
tain of the College All-Stars who
will tour the country with the
famed Harlem Globetrotters.
The announcement made it al-
most certain that the six-foot-seven
Gola will play with the Philadel-
phia Warriors of the National Bas-
ketball Association next year, pro-
vided they agree to terms. The
Warriors have territorial draft
rights to the LaSalle star.
There had been reports that
Gola, the most-heralded player in
this season s college crop, might
accept a job with an industrial
firm that sponsored an AAU team.
However, by signing to tour with
the Globetrotters for money, he
relinquished his amateur standing.
A spokesman for the Globetrot-
ters termed a report that Gola will
receive $4,500 for the lour as "ri-
diculously high."
