Rocky Colviato is traded for fifth time

By MILTON RICKMAN UPI Sports Writer SARASOTA, Fla. (UPI)— Rocky Colavito has been peddled five different times now and after awhile it starts getting under a guy’s skin. People begin asking questions. What’s the matter with Colavito? Is he all washed up? Is he hard to get along with? Doesn’t he use the right hair tonic? What’s wrong? It has to be something. Rocky Colavito, dealt again Tuesday, to the Los Angeles Dodgers this time by the Chicago White Sox, suddenly had a bellyful. He said he wouldn’t report to the Dodgers. But then he thought it over a little and said he would. “I contemplated retiring,” said the 34-year-old outfielder, “But I changed my mind. I’ll join the Dodgers as soon as I’m able to move my family back home to Pennsylvania.” Colavito asked himself some questions, too, when they told him he had been sold to the Dodgers for something over the $20,000 waiver price. Why was he being moved around so much? He had been with Cleveland twice, Detroit, Kansas City and Chicago. Now they were sending him over to the other league with Los Angeles. Why? “I’m only guessing,” says Colavito, “but I think the reason I’ve moved around so much is because I never had any real good speed. I honestly feel that’s the reason.” Rocky is right. But only partially. From the moment he

came up to the majors 13 years ago he already had a label on him: good hitter but bad wheels. He could hit and he could throw but he couldn't run a lick and had limited range, they said. ' They also said you’d forget all about his feet as soon as you saw him hit those long home runs over the wall. Orders test for team WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (UPI)—Atlanta Braves’ officials Wednesday ordered a TB test for every member of the team after it was learned that outfielder Rico Carty is suffering from a highly contagious form of the disease. “Every precaution is being made to safeguard the health of the team,” traveling secretary Don Davidson said after it was discovered Carty has tuberculosis. Davidson said every member of the team had been exposed to the disease. Carty, who won the winter league batting crown in the Dominican Republica before reporting to camp, was 15 pounds underweight when he joined the club and has been ailing. Trainer Harvey Stone Monday ordered the X-rays and physical exaination which disclosed Carty is suffering from TB. Carty has been sent to Atlanta for further tests and if it is determined he has an advanced stage of the disease, he will be sent to a sanitarium for treatment. Starting his fourth season for the Braves, Carty hit .350 in winter ball and had a .316 average in 13 spring exhibition games. He appeared in 134 games last season and hit .255 for Atlanta with 15 homers and 43 RBIs. Sports Parade

McDowell’s secret leaks out By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer Sam McDowell’s secret is out — he had lost his confidence. McDowell sure foiled his Cleveland Indian teammates and American League rivals during the last two seasons because they agreed almost unanimously that supreme overconfidence might cost him a brilliant career. But the 25-year old left-hander claimed Wednesday that manager Alvin Dark has restored his confidence in addition to smoothing his one-time herkyjerk pitching motion. McDowell made the comment after allowing only one hit in six innings of a 7-3 victory over the California Angels and Dark added that Sam could be a 20game winner this year. Other experts made similar predictions in the winter of 1965 and the summer of 1966. Sam had looked like the American League’s answer to Sandy Koufax in 1965 when he had a 17-11 record and 325 strikeouts in 273 innings and he won four straight games, including two one-hitters, at the start of the 1966 season. Clean X-Rays Then Sam began to complain about a sore arm. X-rays disclosed nothing and some experts labelled Sam a prima donna unwilling to work hard enough to make his talents pay off in stardom. He stumbled through the 1966 season with a 9-8 record and had only a 13-15 slate in 1967. McDowell displayed his old control weakness in walking five Angels Wednesday but he whistled third strikes past seven batters and once again looked like the McDowell of 1965. Vic Davalillo’s two-run double and Tommy Harper’s homer were the big blows for the Indians, who hope to move up a notch or two this season from their eighth-place finish of 1967. Felix Millan’s two-run single triggered a five-run eighthinning rally that enabled the Atlanta Braves to beat the Houston Astros 5-3 for their seventh victory in eight games. Phil Niekro, the National League’s ERA lerder in 1967, pitched the first seven innings for the Braves and allowed two runs. Denny Lemaster had shut out the Braves for seven innings before the big rally.

GARY, Ind. (UPI)—Bo Mailard, who won the Indiana high school basketball crown in his Uth try at the helm of Gary Roosevelt, made his expected resignation official Wednesday night. Mallard, 56, made his retirement known at a testimonial dinner for him and his championship squad, sponsored by the Roosevelt Alumni Association. He said he would remain cross-country coach and a physical education instructor. No successor was named, but there was speculation that Mailard’s assistant, Jim Dowdell, will get the job. Mallard’s resignation came just 11 days after Roosevelt brought Gary its first state hardwood crown with a 68-60 victory over Indianapolis Shortridge. Mallard, in coaching 30 years, was a three-sport athlete at Western Michigan. His Roosevelt basketball teams had a record of 288 wins and only 48 defeats. They won 8 sectionals, 4 regionals, and 2 semi-states before going all the way this year. Meeting held The first meeting of the Belle Union Pee Wee and Little League baseball teams was held Mondaynight with a large crowd attending.

Red Sox ready for an encore

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. (UPI) — There’s no fiddling around here at all although the Boston Red Sox are about ready to try an encore. “We’ll go with the same rules as last year,” says Dick Williams, the 38-year-old manager who overcame 100 to 1 odds by leading the Red Sox to their first pennant in 21 years last season. “Everyone will have to be at a prescribed weight or lower when we break camp next week. Nobody goes north with a sore arm. And there won’t be any $50 or $25 fines for infractions. They’ll start at $500.” Williams doesn’t delude himself about the upcoming pennant race. “It might be harder this year,” he says.Hold The Fort For- one thing, all the other clubs will be watching the Red Sox from the start this time. And for another, Jim Lonborg, who won 22 games last season and earned the Cy Young Award as the outstanding pitcher in the American League, won’t be able to start pitching until possibly June because of a knee injury he suffered skiing last December. Williams is going ahead full tilt nonetheless. He’s trying to put together a regular five-man starting staff from among righthanders Jose Santiago, Gary Bell, Ray Culp, Jerry Stephenson and Gary Waslewski and lefthander Dick Ellsworth. Santiago was the most effective of the bunch last year with his 12-4 record. Culp comes from the Cubs with whom he was 8-11 and Ellsworth from the Phillies with whom he was 6-7.

By SCOTT BAILLIE UPI Sports Writer SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (UPI)— Manager Leo Durocher has virtually the same Chicago Cubs team which amazed the baseball world last year with a third place windup after placing tenth the previous season. But don’t expect the UPI’s “Manager of the Year” to abandon his policy of shunning forecasts. “No predictions!” Durocher says flatly while holding court near the third base line. “My main worry is getting down to the 25-man limit by opening day. Last year? It was the club that made the manager. And the same goes every year.” Durocher concedes, however, that the Cubs were delighted to obtain Lou Johnson from the Los Angeles Dodgers in an offseason trade for infielder Paul Popovich and outfielder James Williams. The hustling Johnson, dubbed “the Cinderella man” for his frequent comebacks and heroics, is slated for right field. He was a key factor in the Dodgers’ 1965 pennant drive. Household Names “You’re looking at my starting lineup,” Durocher said recently when the regulars were in the field. “But this is only March.” Barring some kind of an upheaval, he will go with an outfield that has Billy Williams back in left, Adolfo Phillips in center and Johnson in right. The infield is flanked by such household names as Ernie Banks at first base, Ron Santo at third and the young-old pro combination of shortstop Don Kessinger and second baseman Glenn Beckert up the middle. The starting pitchers, one of the 1967’s great great surprises, includes Ferguson Jenkins (2013), southpaws Ken Holtzman (9-0) and Rich Nye (13-10) and righthander Joe Niekro (10-7). Randy Hundley (.267) heads the catching. “We could use a little more relief pitching but I’m not worried about a fifth starter,” Durocher says. “Bill Hands (78) was an outstanding ‘long man’ in 1967 and my all around best during the last five weeks.” Williams, who has played 656 straight contests, returns to the outfield from a typically good season in which he hit .278 with 28 home runs and 84 runs batted in. Phillips has been used on occasions this spring in leadoff

but is happier hitting seventh or eighth. Last year he batted a strong .268 in those spots. Johnson, who was tired of being platooned at Los Angeles, crowded the plate for a .270 average, 11 homers and 41 RBI’s in 104 games with the Dodgers after recovering from a broken ankle. “Banks? I’ve already retired him twice,” Durocher says ironically of the great slugger whose comeback shook up the experts last year. “He’s a beauty.” Santo Sets Goal Now 37, Ernie enters the campaign looking trimmer than ever. He hit .276 last year with 23 homers and 95 RBI’s. Once again he is listed on the roster as “player.coach” but the fact seldom comes up. Santo, the team strong man, is going after 40 or 45 homers this year providing it doesn’t affect his batting average. He hit an even .300 last season to go with 31 home runs and 98 RBI’s. The barrel-chested Santo now has hit 30 or more homers for the past four campaigns and last year led the National League third basemen in assists for the sixth straight time. If military service cuts into.

the availability of Kessinger (.231) or Beckert (.280), Durocher has a good backup man in rookie Jose Arcia. He batted only .219 at Little Rock last year but is regarded as a fine fielder. “Jose won’t knock down any fences but he won’t embarrass you in the field, either,” Durocher says. The first four pitchers would delight any pilot.
