Youth, Hitting Problems Vex
Baltimore Oriole Manager
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Manager I'auL Richards of the
Baltimore Orioles must be mel
lowing or the depths of seventh
place in the American league
might have made him pull his
belt in a notch.
No longer is he breathing fire
and brimstone, challenging his op
ponents to lick him.
"We're just about the same as
last year," he sighed today before
sending his outlit against the New
York Giants in an exhibition game
in Phoenix. "We have some good
boys, but they're pretty young. We
tried to operate too much in a
hurry with kids last year."
Richard's main problem is no
secret around the circuit. He has
adequate pitching built around
Jim Wilson, a botter-than-averatie
defense with shortstop Willie Mi
randa as the bulwark but no hit
ting. 1
Richards Building Team
Richards is the first to admit
he is involved in a long-range
building program. He has several
youngsters in camp who are high
ly impressive but obviously a sea
son or two away. The most im
pressive are John Franeona, a 22-year-old
first baseman, and
Brooks Robinson, an 18-year-old
third baseman.
The Orioles' lack of power was
evident in Scottsdale, Ariz., yes
terday when they took a 8-5 lacing
from the unbeaten Giants. J i m
Fisoni, a rookie outfielder, got the
homer off Jim liearn.
The world champion Brooklyn
Dodgers, who have looked miser
able while Manager Wall Alston
has been testing his rookie crop,
won their first exhibition, a 5-2
decision over Milwaukee in Miami.

Sandy Koufax held the Braves to
