Boston Hurler, Catcher Suffer Broken Fingers By FRANK LTTSKY United Press Sports Writer The Boston Red Sox, touted by Casey Stengel as the Yankees' most dangerous American League rival, faced the gloomy prospect today of opening the season without their possible No. 1 battery. Tom Brewer, the leading Red Sox pitcher last year with 16 wins, and Haywood Sullivan, a rookie bidding for the starting job behind the plate, both suffered fractured fingers Monday. Brewer will be sidelined at least three weeks, Sullivan at least six weeks. Brewer, 26, was taking baiting practice when hit by a Bob Porterfield pitch. Brewer suffered a hairline fracture of the middle finger on the pitching hand Fool Etta BulMvan Sullivan, 27, was hit by a foul i off the bat of Roy Sievers of the 1 Washington Senators in the first i inning of an exhibition game. Sul- 1 livan’s right index finger was 1 fractured and dislocated. The Red 1 Sox were hoping that Sullivan would play well enough to replace . Sammy White behind the plate. Another catcher, Yogi Berra of the Yankees, also was put out of commission. A foul off the bat of 1 Charley Neal of the Los Angeles 1 Dodgers struck Berra on the <

Paul Richards Is Optimistic Over Orioles SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (UP)-Thc ' Baltimore Orioles will field a ' "considerably better” club than • ever before since the city came back to major league baseball, manager Paul Richards added. The greying boss of the Orioles is optimistic about the chances of this team — and he is willing to tell the world. Two Fine Catchers "In Gus Triandos and Myron Ginsberg we have two fine catchers. Triandos has the best throwing arm in baseball. We expect his hitting to improve year after year. He has hit 40 home runs for us in the last two years in the biggest park in the majors. “We have two good first baseman. Bob Boyd hit .318 for us last year and is a slick fielder. Jim Marshall, up from Vancouver of the Pacific Coast League, hit 30 home runs and drove in 102 runs. “At second base we have the best* defensive fielder in the league in Bill Gardner. He hit 262 for us last year and played evry inning of the season. On top of that h is a clutch hitter. "Our two shortstops couldn't be compared with the best defensive men in history, but Willie Miranda and Ronnie Hansen give us adequate protection. "Our third baseman is Brooks Robinson. He is a great defensive player. If he hits better — and we have hopes — he will mean a lot to us. Outfield Set "The outfield is set with Al Pilarcik, Lary Doby and Bob Nieman. They’ll provide a good punch with defensive ability, Backing them Up we have Jlrti Busby and a couple of other good men. “Our pitching staff is headed by Connie Johnson, Billy Loes, Hector (Skinny) Brown, Jack Harshman and Bill O’Dell. Behind them we have George Zuverink and Ken Lehman as relievers. We also have Charley Beamon, Jerry Walker and Art Houtteman Houtteman may make it all the way back.” f Richards drew a deep breath. “It all adds up to a considerably better club than we’ve ever had before at Baltimore. It is a club improving all the time,” he said. Richards made his remarks before ” completing a deal in which the Orioles sent Doby and pitcher Don Ferrarete>to the Cleveland Indians for'Care Woodling. utilityman Dick Williams and pitcher Bud Daley. Woodling now is expected to take over a regular job in the Baltimore outfield in place of Doby. " d Today's S portrait (Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.) By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer TAMPA, Fla. (UP)-— Alling Al Smith, who has spent most of the spring on a rubbing table, assured the Chicago White Sox today he will be ready to play in the season opener and prove to them they made a good deal by getting him from the Cleveland Indians. . i 'troubled by an Injured right ankle all spring, Smith has seen no action at all in exhibition games but feels he'll be ready to take his place in the lineup within a week or so. More Annoying Than Serious "The ankle injury is more annoying than serious," said the 30-year-old Smith, who is being counted on as the White Sox regular left fielder this year. "But the treatments I’ve taken this spring have made the ankle stronger and I think I’ll be ready to go in a few days. I’ve kept my weight down so it won’t take me very tong to get in stride.” Smith came to the White Sox along with pitcher Early Wynn from the Indians last December in exchange for outfielder Minnie Minoso and infielder Fred Hatfield No one was happier over the deal than Smith.— “I had my best years playing for Al Lopez in Cleveland from 1953 to 1956," he says. “I guess I'd rather play for him than any one else in baseball. And if I’m in shape, I know I'll be over .300.” Roasted by Fans With the Indians last year, Smith slumped to .247 and was roasted unmercifully by impatient Cleveland fans. Things reached such a state that Smith publicly voiced a desire to be traded. The fact that he often was asked to play third bas instead of the outfield didn’t make him. any happier, either. “I’d like to feel I have no enemies in Cleveland,” said the White Sox outfielder, slipping into a pair of moccasin shoes after a light wrookut. "I J deserved some of the criticism I received from Cleveland fans. After all, I remember day 6 when they cheered me, too. The spices nutmeg and mace come from the same evergreen tree in the East fhdies. Mace, a lacy scarlet tnembrance covering the nutmeg kernel, has always been expensive because of small production.

Indians, Orioles Make Player Trade TUCSON, Ariz. «PI — The Cleveland Indians’ management expressed confidence today that their trade v<ith the Baltimore Orioles which lotted them outfielder Larry Doby and pitcher Don Ferrarese has left their outfield “with no vulnerable spots.” Cleveland announced the trade Monday and said it had sent outfielder Gene Woodling, utility man Dick Williams and pitcher Bud Daley to the Orioles in return for the two players. General Manager Frank Lane and Manager Bobby Bragan expressed wholehearted agreement with the swap and Bragan said: “Now we have no vulnerable spots in the outfield no matter what combination we use.” Orioles’ General Manager Paul Richards sounded less ecstatic about the trade and had little more to say than, “It must have helped us or we wouldn't have made it. It gives us a little more balance.” WK ,{r — ~ Bowling Scores Merchant League W L Pts.
