Lack Os Power Top Weakness Os Baltimore (EDITOR’S NOTE' This to the 14th of 20 dispatches on the 1964 prospects of the major league baseball teams.) By LEO H. PETERSEN DPI Sports Editor MIAMI, Fla. (UPI) — The Baltimore Orioles have been waiting in line for ten years and their new manager, Hank Bauer, thinks the time has come when they might step out in front. He says his club “has a good shot” at the 1964 American League pennant provided: "Our players live up to expectations. I don’t mean that any of them have to have outstanding years, just the good ones they are capable of having.” The best the Orioles have been able to do since they came into the league in 1954 is a second place finish in 1960. Last with Billy Hitchcock as manager and Hank as a coach, they finished fourth, 18% games behind the New York Yankees. That finish cost Hitchcock his job and gave Bauer, the former Yankee outfield star, his second chance to manage. He didn’t do well in his first one, with the Kansas City Athletics, but explains, "I didn’t have the horses then. I do now.” Slightly Optimistic Bauer’s appraisal may be a little overly optimistic. He seems to have the horses so far as pitching is concerned but could pull up short in the power department. It’s been the lack of batting power that has kept the Orioles from winning' in the past. Norm Siebern will be at first base in jthe .1964 Oriole scheme of things Adair will be at secmpl and.Jben came 4fe9 other two infiemers whom er maintains “form the best left side of the infield in the league.” It has fleet Luis Aparicio at shortstop and Brooks Robinson at third. Robinson, who usually wields a big bat, tailed off in 1963, hitting only .251. “Naturally,” says Bauer, “he’ll have to get back in the hitting groove or we’re lost.” That’s because his outfield, which is expected to provide most of a club’s batting power, may not completely measure up. The Orioles added Willie

Hawks Beat Lakers In West's Playoff ST. LOUIS (UPI) - Los Angeles Coach Fred Scbaus took his hat off today to the highjumping St. Louis Hawks who controlled, the boards to dump the Lakers, 121-108, and advance to the NBA Western Division playoffs against San Francisco. Coach Harry Gallatin’s Hawks worked a new brand of ball Monday night against Los Angeles and out-rebounded the Lakers 66-52. Schaus, feeling gloom in the dressing room, found praise for the Hawks. “In the four years that we’ve been playing them,” Schaus said, “this was the best sustained 48 minute effort I’ve ever seen the Hawks have.” Schaus said the Lakers “didn’t play that bad, you know.” He pointed to the box score which showed the Hawks out-rebounded his club by 14, “which is more than we could afford.” Big Bob Pettit pulled down 20 rebounds for the Hawks while the Lakers’ Elgin Baylor could muster only 11. Gallatin noted that “the good thing was our fast break” which worked to perfection, particularly in the final period when the Hawks raced to keep ahead of the threatening Lakers. Kirkland from the Cleveland Indians in the hope he would augment their power. But Kirkland hit only .230 with the Indians and his 15 home runs and 47 runs batted in left a lot to be desired. Counting on Powell The Orioles’ big outfield hope is John (Boog) Powell. Powell flit only .265 last season but rapped out 25 homers and had 82 runs driven in. With Powell in right and Kirkland in Jest, that leaves Jackie Brandt for center. His glove is good his bat mediocre. Bauer likes his catching with John Orisno, who came on fast last- year, and Dick Brown sharing’ the duties. .He likes his pitching, too, as mil he 'should! In left-handed Steve Barber (20-13), the Orioles have one of the best in the game. To start along with him they have right handers Robin Roberts (14-13), Milt Pappas (16-9) and southpaws Dave McNally (7-8) and Mike McCormick (6-8). For spot starting assignments and long relief there is Dick Hall (5-5). Stu Miller (5-8) is the bullpen specialist and West Stock (7-0) will be in there with him. Harvey Haddix, the Pittsburgh Pirates’ castoff, would make it as the left-handed relief pitcher. *

Speedway Fire Damages Two Novi Racers ** INDIANAPOLIS (UPl)—Fire swept through a portion of famed Gasoline Alley at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway today and damaged two of the highly - publicized Novi race ) cars. The Maze broke out in the Tony Granatelli garage and was caused by a shorted electric heater, officials said. The damage was estimated between $25,000 and $50,000. Speedway officials said some of the garages may have to be ■rebuilt. * / Damaged were two eight* 'Cylinder, supercharged ... machines. One of them was built in England recently and arrived here only a few days ago. Granatelli, a former race driver and now manager of a : racing team, said the two cars would be flown to Santa Monica, Calif., as soon as possiMe for repairs. “This (fire) has put a tremendous crimp in our plans,” he said. “It has put us back 30 days. If this had happened in May we would have been out of the race.” He said his garage was “a shambles—it burned out the entire roof." • “It ruined all the spare parts and the Mue prints for the four-wheel drive car,” he added. ‘lt took the gears and the whole bit.” Granatelli brought the .cars here early for tire and chassis tests and the blaze broke out on the final day of tuneups. The track will be closed the entire month of April for surface repairs and practice for the time trials opens officially May 1. Drivers Bobby Uhser and A. J. Foyt got both cars into the 150 miles per hour bracket during tire tests. One of the cars was unofficially clocked at a speed of 194 mph in the straight-away. It was the latest “hard-luck” chapter for the Novis, shadowed by misfortune since the 1940 s , when they first appeared at the ; Speedway as frontrdrive machines. J "''’ Two veteran drivers, Chet Miller and Ralph Hepburn, .were killed in Novis here, and several other pilots walked away from spectacular crashes, among them Duke Nalon and Paul Russo. Three Novis qualified for last year’s holiday chase, but none was running at the finish. One crashed early in the race. In 1941, a spectacular fire the night before tHe “500” roared through the garage area, destroying four cars and delaying start of the race. Although cold weather prevailed, unofficial speed records were set in Monday’s tire tests. And, with several hot cars on hand, today’s activities bore the possibility of more unofficial speed records.
