Cellar Finish For Phillies? Pitching Strong By LEO II PKTHMMCN t ri Aperta Fitter CLEARWATER Fl* 'UPDThr forlorn Phillies appear Boomed to another la»t place hntah Even Manager Eddie Sawyer admit* there "I* little hope we can beat out any of the other He ii dedicated to one thing for IMO hid'"Wr arc going to go along with them," the Philadelphia manager explained ”We finished last playing our veteran* i d rather finish last playing kid* who are going to make the grade some day rather than with veteran* who either can't get back on the beam, or perhaps were over-rated ” The only bright spot Sawyer aee* for the Phillies m 1960 is his pitching "Our trouble last year was that we couldn't score runs.” he re-1 called Maybe our kids won't be able to score many either, but they arc going to get a shot at it.” May Bench Veterans Because of that youth program, such established veterans as outfielders Harry Anderson, once a big gun in the Philadelphia at- ] tack, and Wally Post, who always j used to be among the leaders in home runs, may be sitting on the bench Two rookies. John Callison, who I hit 299 at Indianapolis last season. and Ken Waiters, up from Fort Worth where he batted 291. may win regular outfield berths. Callison was the youngster the Chicago White Sox once tabbed as one of the game’s coming stars They gave him up for third base; man Gene Freese in an attempt to stren°*hen their attack. Both Callison and Walters normally are center fielders. But Bob Del Greco, a good glove man with a weak bat, may be in that spot flanked by the two rookies. _3 Had Many Trials Del Greco has had a lot of major league trials, but never made it because of his lack of hitting Sawyer is hoping he can hit .270 — he batted .286 at Buffalo in 1959— and if tie does that he’ll keep the job. BG. Smith, another fine fielder with a weak bat, also may stick as a utility man along with Dave Philley, one of the best pinch-hit-ters. in the league last season. There isn't one infield spot set although Ed Bouchee has the inside track for first base. But he hasn't looked too good in spring exhibition games. Sawyer has been experimenting with Pancho Herrera, who hit .327 at Buffalo last season, at second, although he usually plays either first or third. If Herrera is needed at first. George Anderson, who played the spot last season, on Ted Lepcio, the ex-American Leaguer, would take over at second. KttPPe At Short Joe Koppe probably wffl be the shortstop despite his 261 batting average J last year Lepcio also can play that position as well as third base. The veteran Al Dark doesn’t exactly have a lock on third base, but Sawyer hopes to get “at least M good games” out of him.

In the only game Monday but there were several player movements as teams began to cut down toward the 28-man roster strength maximum Chuck Stobbs and Dick Hyde pitched fine relief ball over the last eight innings for the Senators. Stobbs, who relieved Bill Fischer in the second inning, yielded a two-run homer to Bob Cerv but then shut out the A's with two hits until the eighth. Hyde, top relief ace in the American League in 1958. blanked Kansas City the rest of the way. The Senators scored the decisive run off Johnny KuCks in the seventh when Lenny Green singled went to second on an infield out ad tallied on a single by Faye Throneberry. Pirates Cut Four The New York Yankees optioned left-handed pitcher Harold Stowe to Binghamton of the Eastern League and assigned catcher Joe Miller to their Amarillo farm in the Texas League. Stowe, 22year old fastbailer who had a 54 record with Fargo ’ND.) last season, impressed Manager Casey Stengel early in the spring but was shy in experience.

Long Masters • Course Favors Power Hitters By IJ» B. rKTFJUUDX IF! <to*rt* Editor AUGUSTA. Oa <UP!» — Look out fm the long ball hitters was th* watchword at the Master* today — in short. Arnold Palmer. Mike Souchak and Sammy Snead "I figure." said Jackie Burke, the 18M Master* champton. • that the power hitters have a two rtroke advantage on every round That gtvto them an eight stroke edge for four round* and makes It mighty hard for the reat of ua to make up The only way you can beat them I* with dead-eye approaching and sensational putting ’ He doesn’t figure that anyone in the Pieman field for the 24th Masters golf tourney is going to come up with enough of that approaching and putting to beat our Palmer. Souchak and Snead. • When they are using six. seven or eight Iron* for their approaches. the rest of us are using three or four irons." Burke explained "It doesn’t figure that those of us — the bulk of us—can get inside them on the green when we have to go for such more dNta ne e on our approaches." Masters Course Ix>ng The Masters course is a long one — 6.980 vards. It’s Ideal for the power hitter. "Eve" if you stray your drives, you can’t get into too much trouble.” observed Ben Hogan, a twotime winner of this golfing classic. "This definitely is a course for those fellows who can hit the ball a mile." Bantom Ben isn t at all satisfied with his game. Neither is Burke, whose left wrist still gives him trouble — an injury which has plagued him for over a year. Desoite his brilliant showing thus far to 1960 — he has won «ome $26,000, more than double the amount of any other player in the PGA dollar derby—Palmer isn’t hitting the ball well either. “I’m iust not in the groove,” said Palmer. Who won the Masters in 1968 and then lost it last year after being tied for the lead going into the final rotmd. Hole •Troubles Palmer He’s still having trouble with the par three 155 yard 12th hole. There is a pond in front of the green and Palmer lost his chance to win last year by putting his tee shot into the water. He’s been doing the same thing in practice rounds. "Maybe I’ll start playing short and then pitching over the pond,” he said. Despite his poor practice rounds however. Palmer probably will be the favorite when the field tees off on Thursday Souchak. whp "is back on the beam,” and the 47-year-old Snead, trying for an unprecedented fourth Masters | title, rank right behind him

Sox Continue To Add More Power SARASOTA. Fla. <UPU —The acquisition of Roy Sievers from the Washington Senators was hailed by White Sox Manager Al Lopez todav as a "good move which should make it that much easier for us to win the pennant.” Ixjjßz. who predicted another Chicago flag prjor to the Sievers dea\ said Sievers would be invaluable as a pinch-hitter and as insurance just in case first baseman Ted Kluszewski or Minnie Minoso can’t play the full, season. ‘‘We’ve strengthened ourselves all the way around." Lopez exclaimed. "New if Klu can’t go the full season we have an outstanding replacement. Even *if Klu goes all the way— and I’m convinced he can — then Sievers gives us that much more bench strength.” The deal, which sent Sievers to the Sox for catcher Earl Battey and rookie first baseman Don Mincher and $150,000 was the third major swap Involving a power hitter that Chicago has made since the end of the 1959 World Series. They acquired Gene Freese from the ’ Philadelphia Phillies and Minoso from the Cleveland Indians in winter deals. Freese hit 23 homers last year. Minoso and Sievers each had 21. one less than Sherman Lollar who led the White Sox sluggers last season with 22.
