Mickey Vernon Is Feeling His Way
As Manager Of New Senator Club
By JOE REICHLER
Associated Prett Sports Writer
POMPANO BEACH, Fla. (AP)
The management of the new
Washington Senators are no fools.
Aware that enemy hatters arc
lurking in wait for their puerile
pitchers, they pushed out. the
fences in Griffith Stadium.
The additional footage, 38 in
left field, 35 in left center and 12
in dead center, is bound to be of
some help. It doesn't figure to do
much harm to the Washington hit
ters who, at first glance, are not
likely to knock down any fences.
Mickey Vernon, the freshman
manager, isn't overly worried
about the sire of the park. He is
more concerned wilh finding a
presentable lineup for opening
day. Other than his opening bat
tery of pitcher Dick Donovan and
catcher Pete Daley, and perhaps
his left fielder, Gene Woodling,
Vernon has no idea who will bo on
the field when President Kennedy
throws out the first ball to open
the 1961 American League season
in the nation's capital April 10.
"I'm still kind of feeling my
way. said the former star first
baseman of the old Senators. "The
boys are all willing workers and
Ring Record
enlhused about the new setup. It
still feels a little strange to have
to give orders to fellows I've play
ed wilh for years."
Vernon ha a fairlv enoH idea
what veterans like Woodling,
Daley, Dale Long, Billy Klaus,
Tom Sturdivant and Dave Sisler
ran do, so he is keeping a closer
eye on the flock of kids in camp.
Most impressive so far nave been
