Reds' Manager Sees Hope Os Ist Division Tampa, Fla., March 29.—(UP)— Luke Sewell's task with the Cincinnati Reds looks hopeless so far as the 195& season is concerned, but despite his thin line of established major leaguers he believes bis club has a fighting chance for a firfet division finish. He based his beliet on the fact that he has added power to his club with the acquisition of catcher Andy Semipick and outfielder Dick Sisler .in the big deal with the Phillies. "I know I’m going to have the best catching I’ve had in my three years as manager of the tßeds," Sewell, a former star catcher himself said. “And Andy will hit the ball for you, too. Discount the bad year he had last season. He never could get started.” Batting power has been Sewell’s problem now for three springs. He has good pitching, fair defense and speed, but too fe ( w hitters who can rattle the fences. Adding the bats of Seminick and Sisler to those of first baseman Ted Kluszewski and outfielders John Wyrostek and Joe Adcock, Sewell hopes the club will be able to go out and get his pitchers a few runs. !, "We’ve never been able to do .that before,” he recalled. Sewell also figures that he has strengthened his bench for if outfielders Bob Borkowski, Hank Edwards and rookie Wally Post cannot win regular jobs they will be available for pinch-hitting duty. Right now the Reds skipper is experimenting with Borkowski, obtained fr6m the Cubs, and rookie Post, who hit .308 at Buffalo, in center with Wyrostek in right and Sisler and Adcock alternating in left. SUler plays when right handers are pitching against the Reds and Adcock when the opposing mounflsmen are southpaws. The Cincinnati infield is a light hitting one outside of big Kluszewski at first, and he slumped off to .259 last season. Sewell has been experimenting with Grady Hatton, who never has lived up to his rookie year promise at second, with the veteran, but brittle. Bobby Adams at third. At short it wil IbeSeither Virgil Stallcup or Roy McMillan. The latter can field with the best of them but is a decided liability at the plate. Stallcup is the better hitter, but not as finished a fielder. Rookie John Temple, a second baseman up from Tulsa, where he batted .294 seems a year away, but with the infield problems he has, Sewell may keep him up. Homer Howbll will be the first catcher back of Seminick with three rookies, Hank Foils, Hobert Landrith and Joe Rossi battling for the other berth. It probably will go~to Landrith despite his .188 batting; average at Buffalo last season.? \ Ewell (the Whip) Blackwell, Herman Wehmeier, Ken Raffensberger and .Frank Hiller are the only hurlers in camp who have won starting assignments with Frank Sminnth, who started out so brilliantly last season but wound up with a 5-5 record, the No. 1 bullpen artist. Three hold-overs—Bud Byerly, Ed Erautt and Harry Perkowski—all have a chance to get into the starting rotation. REDS REFUSE (linFrom Page One) Reds in aerial combat with Mig's, and three Frß4 Thunder jets were knocked but of the air by Red' ground fire.

Rocky Castellani Wins By Decision . New York, March 29—(UP)—The new Rocky Castellani may go to London soon to see if ex-middle-weight champion Randy Turpin can “hold that tiger,” a \ feat which ex* welterweight charripion Johnny Bratton failed to acconqilish last night. Under a new manager and trainer, imiddewelght Castellani of Luzerne, Pa., turned tiger last night before 5.916 in Madison Square Garden and impressively won an upset unanimous 10-round decision over Dusky Bratton of Chicago.' Castellani, previously a backpedalling counter-puncher, was so aggressive and so unexpectedly explosive during the excellent hout that matchmaker Al Weill today offered him a return bout with middleweight Ernie Durando at the garden, -May 23. Meanwhile a circus will bcciipy the garden and there will be no boxing in the punch emporium until May 16. Rangy, brown-haired Castellani suffered a one-stitch gash in his left brow and purplish bruises beneath each eye, but manager Tex Sullivan and trainer Mahnie Seamon said he would lie “okay” for the April 22 London fight With Turpin If promoter Jack Solomons closed the match. i 3 Castellani’s repeated left hooks and iong “sneaker” rights to the head were his most effective weapons. Although Rocky has knocked out but five of his 39 professional opponents, his punching power last night had Bratton falling into the ropes and staggering aibout i the ring in the fourth and sixth rounds. Bratton’s best round was the eighth, wherein he staggered Rocky and had him holding on in the last minute. Bratton won the last three rounds, as he improved and Castellani tired. Bratton was favored aL 8-5. In the dressing room, Bratton said he had made a, mistake in trying to fight as a middleweight. He scaled 1824% pounds, the heaviest of his career for an important bout. Castellani, a natural middleweight. registered 154-\.
