rlßieS, AS Baffle To 0-0 18-lnning Tie By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer Os course, it could be the major leagues' idea of a huge April Fool's Day joke, but were those really the Pittsburgh Pirates and Kansas City A’s who had all that wonderful pitching? » The calendar said April 1, sure enough, but it could have been Oct. 1 with the likes of Don Larsen and Sal Maglie pitching against each other in the World Series as the seventh - place Pirates and eighth-place A’s battled to a brilliant 0-0 tie in 18 innings at West Palm Beach, Fla. And this great pitching was backed up by real World Seriestype fielding by Bob Clemente of the Pirates and Milt Graff of the A’s. • The KC heroes were veteran righty Ned Garver, who allowed only three hits for the first six innings; ex - Yankee Mickey McDermott, who did even better by permitting just two singles in seven frames; and rookie Carl Du-

The A’s threatened in the 18th but Cletus Boyer, attempting to go from first to third with none out on Vic Power’s single to right, was thrown out by Clemente. The Pirates’ only scoring chance went down the. drain in the seventh when Graff’s great play robbed Dick Groat of a key base hit. So there it was—the most brilliantly pitched game so far this spring. Could be these two underdogs have enough hurling this year to cause even more surprises. The Pirates and A’s had the spring training stage to themselves Monday as all other games involving big league clubs were rained out.

Ted Williams In New Blast At Politicians SARASOTA, Fla. (UK — Ted Williams stuck today to the guns he fired at the late Sen. Robert A. Taft and the Marine Corps and apparently included President Eisenhower in a sweeping denunciation of all politicians. At the same time, the “third man” present during the Boston Red Sox slugger’s latest popoff said Williams had been partly misquoted by Executive Sports Editor Crozet Duplantier of the New Orleans States. Duplantier wrote Monday that Williams attempted to "pull strings” to avoid being recalled by the Marines during the Korean conflict and spat on the floor at the mention of former President Harry Truman’s name. Referring To ‘Friend’ Hy Hurwitz of the Boston Globe, who arranged the interview with Duplantier, said Williams actually was talking about a friend who attempted to obtain a deferment from Sen. Taft and explained that Tempestuous Ted was “just doing a lot of spitting"—and wasn’t necessarily spitting at the mention of I any individual’s name. President Eisenhower’s name was brought into the story when Hurwitz gave his version of Williams’ comments on “gutless politicians.” “We've got a lot of gutless politicians in this country,” Williams said. "I didn’t want to meet the President nor did I want to me&t Harry Truman. I don’t like gutless politicians. The whole system we have is phony. That goes for all the United States of America.” Hurwitz told the United Press that he interpreted that to mean Williams had turned down invitations to meet both President Eisenhower and Truman “because of his dislike for anybody connected with politics.” Once Admired Taft Williams confirmed his statements that he "lost respect” for Sen. Taft and also that he “resented being recalled into the Marines” in 1952. Williams, who had previously served three years with the U.S. Navy Air Force during World War 11, flew combat missions in Korea at the age of 34. “I used to admire Sen. Taft,” Williams said. "I thought he was a wonderful man. But a friend of mine was called back for Korea like I was. He knew Sen. Taft. He went to him and asked if he could help him get a deferment. “Do you know what Sen. Taft told him?” Williams said. “He said. ‘I can’t touch you. If you were just an ordinary person I could help you but because you are pretty well known I can’t do a thing for you.” About the Marine Corps, Williams said: ‘Sure. I resent being called back at the peak of my earning power” and added he thought other prominent persons were “picked on” because they were public figures. MM? wAwirAP* ! 11 "——— .

Chuck Dressen Realizes His Senators Weak” ORLANDO, Fla. (UP) — The Washington Senators are the most forlorn looking major league club in Florida and the way they stack up now, not even an act of Congress could keep them out of the American League cellar. No one is more conscious of the shortcomings of the club than its manager, Chuck Dressen. Last year the Senators finished sev-. enth, 38 games behind the Yankees, but seveq games in front of the Kansas City Athletics. Dressen won’t say so, but he would be happy to finish seventh again. He tabs his catching as the “strongest department we have.” One of his receivers, Clint Courtney, is beipg sought by the White Sox. The other two are Ed-Fizt-gerald and Lou Berberet. Fitzgerald batted -304 last season, ; Courtney an even .300 and Berberet, who could win the No. 1 job, .261. Wants Better Pitching He is hoping for improvement in his pitching staff which numbers Chuck Stobbs (15-15), Pedro Ramos (12-10), Camilo Pascual (8-16) and Ted Abernathy, who was sent down to Louisville last season after winning only one game while losing three with Washington- „ “Pascual should be a lot better and I think Abernathy is really going to help,” Dressen said. “And Ramos can beat the Red

Sox.” Ramos beat them six times last season while losing to them only once. t> Behind those four, he is banking on two rookies to come through. They are Dick Hyde, a 15-game winner with Chattanooga, Thew there are Bob Chakales, a Cleveland cast-off whose record was 4-4 with Washington last season; southpaw Bob Wiesler, the ex-Yankee who had a 3-12 record with the Senators in 1956; and Dean Stone, 5-7 last year. Dick Brodowski, the ex-Red Sox hurler who won 11 at Louisville last year, also may stick. Dressen Has Pete Runnels on first base and he will start the season there with the weak-throw-ing Roy Sievers in left field. Eddie Yost will be at third. Three Vie At Short Jose Valdivielso, a slick fielder but poor hitter; Jerry Snyder, an infield spare last season and Lyle Luttrell are battling for the shortstop berth with Herb Plews back* at seconcj. Jim Lemon, who hit 27 homers and batted in 96 runs for Washington last year will start in right. But center field is a problem because between Sievers and Lemon, Dressen really needs a ball hawk, for both are far from good fielders. Karl Olson, whom the Red Sox gave up on; Whitey Herzog, who hit only .245 with Washington last year, and Jerry Schoonmaker, a bonus player, are the leading center field candidates. Bowling Scores G.
