Tfc Tennis Prospects Look Better Valdimir Chernik, the Hungarian tennis star who took osc-r as coach here last vear. will be coming back to Chapel Hill for another season in the next few weeks. Cemik (pron ounced ChcrniM has been working at the Everglades Club In West Palm Beach over the last few months. Things arc' looking much better for the tenuis coach this season. List vear he inherited a team that had been hit hard bv giaduation and he and Ham Strayhorn had their hands inll trving to icbuild Carolina tennis to its previous high siamling. This season, the team will be well stocked with fine po tential and should be a much better club. Many of the out standing high school netters of a couple of years back are now ready for varsity action here. Ficshman prospects also look eiy good. It should not be long before Carolina tennis again leaches national prominence. , Major League Predictions With the Grapefruit League in full swing now, the time has (ome for sportswriters around the country to begin spe culating about major league baseball winners come World Series time this fall- , Last year about this time we picked the Yankees and the Braves to meet in the Series, but we predicted the Yanks to take it in six games.. So. with determination to "do better" in to8 we'll give out prognosticative instinct another twirl. In the American League, it looks like another great year lor the Yanks and we figure they'll win the AL without too much trouble. After that, it looks as though the White Sox Kill continue their role as "always a bridesmaid" and finish second. Ted Williams should move the Boston RcdSox at least into thhd place. Fourth place is a toss up between Detioit and Baltimore but figuting the Orioles are still a year away we'll say Detroit fourth and Baltimore fifth. It will take more than Frank Lane to help the Cleveland Indians and we can see no better than a sixth place finish for the Injuns. Kan sas City and Washington should round out the cellar teams in that order- The team that made Milwaukee famous should keep the suds bubbling for another year in the beer city, but it won't be easy. We look for St. Louis to run a' mighty close second with the transplanted Los Angeles Dodgers third. If muscle bound Cincinnati can get some consistent pitching, the Reds will make fourth place at least- We see a fifth place finish for the Philadelphia Phils, with the San Francisco Giants in sixth, the Pittsbuigh Pirates seventh and the Chicago Cubs in the cellar. In the scries, we'll string along wih Yanks again in seven ;;amc s- Tout he? WCHL Will Carry Baseball Games Sports briefj ....

Roth, a co-captain of the Tar Heels,' is a member of the freestyle relay team which finished fourth last night. Billy Martin Impresses Detroit Manager Tighe Pesky observed. "If he continues to improve at this rate, he's a cinch to make a good shortstop. I've been working with him to throw with a three-quarters mo tion and to sort of circle the ball as he; comes in so that he can get it away with more power. "Billy learns fast and I haven't to play shortsop like I did cheat a little. By that I mean, he' 11 have to move in a step or two on certain hitters, and in cer tain situations. "I'm confident Martin wll fool a lot of people and make the switch. He wants to beat you all the time and he's always trying something., The others liste I to him bencause he has tha baseball isinct and he knows what to do all the time.' LAKELAND, Fla. (AP)-Jack Tighe, manager of the Detroit Tigers, asked a question Friday . . "Where on earth did Billy Martin get the reputation as a bad boy" "If Martin is a bad boy, I'd like to have a whole team of such bad boys," Tighe declared. "Bil ly's been here two weeks and al ready he has become a good in fluence on the club. He's the kind of guy this club has needed for a long time. All the guys are crazy about him. He's pepped them up. He's a born leader. He has a confidence that's contagi ous. "Martin already has done things you don't look for from a player. He's even got Al Kaline singing in the bus now. Al hasn't sung for 20 years." A question was asked of Tighe . . . Will Martin, a second base man all his working years, make it as a shortstop? "Well," replied the Little Skip per, "Chuck Dressen says he can not. Casey Stengel says he can. I'll take Casey's word for it. From what Billy has shown so far, I'd say he can. He's quite a kid. He's certainly fooled me. To be per fectly frank, I had some doubts about him but so far he's done everything a good shortstop has to do. He has the right attitude West, Tom Katich and Wally and he certainly has the desire, j Prince and George Marinkov.
