Few Rookies To Land Major League Spots By JOHN BARRINGTON (I. N. 8. Sports Editor) NEW YORK (INS) — Now that the major league Clubs are beginning to whnd their way northward, it Is apparent that nothing really changes much in baseball. Joe the Rookie, hailed two weeks ago as another Mnsial, has been assigned to Kokomo. Washed-Up Willie, the oldtimer whose comeback was the sensation of the Grapefruit circuit, will be drawing the pink slip any day now. Scatter-Arm Sam, the sure-fire 20-game winner if he could get the ball over the plate, still pitches as if he thought control went out with the OPA. And Weak-Eyed Walter, who had been hitting at a .500 clip since changing his batting stance, has been blanked tor three days in a row. He’ll be back to his normal .250 by the end of the week. The changes in the rules have turned out to be northing to worry about, after all. The weather has turned lousy, and will get worse as the clubs barnstorm their halffrozen way northward. There are sore arms, sprained ankles, broken bones and trade rumors. If Casey Stengel hadn’t tangled with a photographer, somebody else probably would have. In short, everything is normal. Spring training is proceeding according to the script. A lot of bright dreams turn dull and bitter each spring between March 1, or whenever the camps open, and the second Tuesday in April. It has to be that way. Every rookie who makes the team shunts a veteran into the shadows. Every oldster, hanging on a year longer, keeps a kid riding buses and living in boarding houses somewhere in the minors. This year's rookie crop, for all its apparent bumpet proportions a month ago, has sifted down con slderably. In the American League, those most likely to leave their mark on the game seem to be pitcher Herb Score of Cleveland, catcher-outfielder Elston Howard and pitcher Johnny Kucks of the New York Yankees, pitcher Bob Alexander of Baltimore, first baseman Norb Zauchin of Boston, pitcher Buddy Biack and outfielder J. W. Porter of Detroit. The National League’s more tn trigwng youngsters include Ken Boyer, St. Louis third sacker, pitcher Humberto Robinson of-Mtl-waiikee, second baseman Lou Ortiz of Philadelphia and pitcher Ed Roebuck and shortstop Chico Fern andez of Brooklyn. One youth movement that has failed to materialize as expected is that of the Baltimore Orioles. Paul Richards is trying to soar higher Utah last year’s seventh place with veterans like Gene Woodling. Hoot Evers, Bob Ken nedy. Matt Batts, Eddie Waitkns and Vern Stephens, who have an average age of 34. Catches Fish> Sutlers Severe Gash In Leg MIAMI BEACH, Fla.

It doesn't mean a thing because it'B happening in the spring, but look who’s atop the National League standings in the exhibition jousts. It’s the Pittsburgh Pirates, that’s who. The Bucaneers made their spring mark 11-6 Tuesday when they defeated the Kansas City Athletics, 9 to' 8, on a two-run homer in the ninth inning by Frank Thomas. The Pirates and Yankees were in the limelight as the 16 clubs began the northward journey home, moving toward that April 11 getaway day. Thomas, Bob Skinner, Roberto Clemente and George Freese belted homers for the Pirates, while Gus Zernial slammed two and BHI Wilson one for the Athletics. Hard luck lefty Bobby Shantz gave the A's a scare when he was hit in the left ear by a line drive. Wee Bobby was carried from the field, but a hospital examination showed there was no fracture or concussion. The hottest Spring team of the moment, however, is the New York Yankees. The Bombers made It 10 wins in theiLjast 12 starts when they defeated the Detroit Tigers, 6 to 1. at Lakeland. "'TBe Yankees head the American League spring standings with a 10-6 record. What overjoyed the Yankee ..rass most by Tuesday’s triumph was the fact that Bob Turley finally showed that he can be a winner. 7 The righthander acquired from Baltimore in the big winter trade allowed ohly two singles in five hintffgs, although he walked five men. Brooklyn's Dodgers made only four hits, but one was a three-run homer by Duke Snider and the Bums beat the Milwaukee Braves, 5 to 4, at Jacksonville. / Art Fowler and Jim Pearce al owed only three hits as the Cincinnati Redlegs defeated the Washington Senators. 5 to 1, at Orlahdo and Robin Roberts was the losing pitcher as the Baltimore Orioles downed the Philadelphia Phillies, 6 to 3, at Daytona Beach.
