(This b anatner la series af
pre mini i tarirt m major
league teami)
By JERRY LI8KA
PHOENIX. Arit.. March 20 UrV-
The chances of the New York
Giants to improve their sixth'
place National League finish of
195 seem to rest mainly on
whether or not one-man gang
Willie May i can offset what is
probably , the league's poorest
pitching staff.
Aside from the brilliant Johnny
Antonelli, who had a 20-13 record
in 1956, there Isn't a Giant hurler
who won more than seven big
league decisions last year.
Manager Bill Rigneys second
Giant campaign is hung heavily
with "if's," including besides
finding first-line backing of Anto
nelli on the mound whether two
rookies and one old war horse can
become new Giant regulars.
Andre Rodgeri, rangy ex-cricket
player from the Bahamas, thus
far falls into the "can't miss"

Incidentally, Doak Walker li still a mighty big thing
around Dallas. He has lucrative business Interests In the
buzzing city and also has a very fine position as a public
relations man for a large national construction outfit.'
As one native put It during a discussion, "Doak Is making
it, hand over fist" ...
The boating craze has hit Texas to, despite a scarcity
of lakes. We learned that thousands of people in the
Dallas-Fort Worth area have boats and think nothing of
driving as far as 200 miles to t lake on the weekends so
that they can enjoy the boating sport. "If you think not,"
....Southwest Conference officials commissioner Abb Curtis
was saying, "just take a ride on most any highway in these
parts over the weekend. At times it seems like there are as
many boats as there ae automobiles going up and down
the road." ...
Friel Says Gambee Better Than Beck
Even though his Lary Beck was a one-man scoring gang
for the Washington Staters this season, Jack Friel of the
WSC's says Dave Gambee of Oregon State is a far better
all-around basketeer . . . Look out for Southern Cal's
Trojans In the future PCC cage wars. They had what they
called their greatest freshman team this season, and it
.- was a big one. . . Dan Garza, the big end on Jim Aiken's
Oregon elevens of a few seasons back Is now a lieutenant
and dentist In the Navy in Hawaii, and will next season
coach the Pearl Harbor Navy grid team.' . . Deposed Port
land Bevo manager Tommy Holmes didn't have to wait
long to nab another baseball Job. He's now the Brooklyn
area scout for the Dogers, and this makes the third time
the Brooks have hired him after he's lost ether jobs. . .
Another ex-baseball manager, Eddie Joost, Is now In the
candy Tending business la the Bay Area of California. . .
Noteworthy In Oregon State's recent sweep of the
Pacific Coast Intercollegiate wrestling title for the third
' straight year is the role former Salem prep whiz Ken
Noteboom played. Coach Dale Thomas lost both of his
'top heavyweight grapplers, John Witte because of his
turning professional and George Meyers (also from Salem)
because of an Injury. Se he turned to Noteboom, a more
180-pounder with loads of desire, and Noteboom rewarded
him with a fourth place finish in the heavyweight class.
Also, did you note that three Oregon school-OSC, Ore
gon and Portland State-finished 1-2-3 in the Coast mat
meet?

Most glamoroifs car In a generation
No oflier car even challenges its performance !
Here are some figures for comparison. We believe they talk louder
than words, and that you will find this message worth reading.
So mnch lias been said about the good looks of the
1957 Chrysler that yon may have the impression its
reputation , rests on styling alone. The truth is it's
tea more impressive in action. Three performance
. figure prove this. Here is the first! Chry tier's Fire
power VS engine 'pack 325 hp (and up to 375 hp
in th Chrysler 300-C), topi in tin industry.
Is horsepower the only way yon judge performance?
Certainly nob There's engine displacement and
torque. Chrysler's displacement is 392 cu. In. What
about torque, the real pay-dirt power that tarns the
wheels? Chrysler's torque is 430 lb.-ju mt 2800 rpm,
again tops in the industry.
More power than yon need? Maybe. But it means
nnquestioned command of the highway when yon
want it. It means your Chrysler will stay like new
mnch longer because it can loaf where other cars
strain. So yon see, when we call this car the Mighty
Chrysler we mean just that . . . the mightiest pa '
the highway! Come in and drive it soon. '

has displaced Daryl Spencer, a
.221 Giant hitter last season. In
his first nine spring exhibition
games, 22 year-old, feet, 3 Rod
ger slammed It hits in S3 trips,
including 4 homers, for a .346
average and 9 RIB's.
Saner taunted I'paa
The other rookie on the spot, Os
sie Virgil, has been getting all
the chance in the world at third
base where the enigmatic Foster
Castleman -and nonchalant Hank
Thompson could have done much
better last year. Virgil hit .265 for
Minneapolis last season.
The oldster who must produce,
as a cleanup man, no less, is 38-year-old
Hank Sauer. now tabbed
at Rigney's left fielder. Rigney is
banking that Sauer, league RBI
champion in 1952 with 121 for the
Cubs, somehow might have some
thunder left in his mace. Playing
in 75 games for the St. Louis Car
dinals last year, big Hank batted
a good .298.
A player who could make a big
difference for the Giants is first
baseman Gail Harris, who again
is hitting the hide off the ball this
spring with 14 hits, including 4
homers, good for 17 RBI's in his
first 30 AB's. In the past Harris
got cooler as the summer sun got
hotter, three times winning his
ticket back to Minneapolis.
Westrana to be Warkherse
Four Giant positions are in cap
able hands, including center ield
where one of baseball's greatest.
the incomparable Mays, roams:
second base, guarded by old pro
Red Schoendienst; right field, oc
cupied by one of the majors' most
underrated players, Don Mueller1;
and catching, where veteran Wes
Westrum must carry a heavy
load. j
Westrum figured to be No. 1
receiver this year until Bill' Sar
ni's career was apparently ended
by a heart attack early in spring
training. Utility man Bobby Hof
man could be Westrum's chief re
lief, although Rigney admits the

Giants- hope to deal for a catcher
before the season starts.
About the only good thing you
can say about Rigney's pitching
is that he has scintillating south
paw Antonelli and more lefties,
seven, than any other National
League club. The advantage of the
latter, beyond dubious aggregate
quality, is the Giants do have
some trade bait in that depart
ment. The Cubs, with, one lefty,
are crying for Portslde help.
Rigney's list of starters, beyond
Antonelli, includes Al Worthington
(7-14) last season; Dick Littlefield
who came back to the Giants when
Jackie Robinson abandoned base
ball; Ruben Gomes 17-17); and
somebody from among Joe Mar
goneri -; and Curt Barclay
and Pete Burnside. who won 20
between them at Minneapolis last
year.
How much Rigney is anchored
with "if's" is tipped off in his ad
mission that Vthitey Lockman
back' from the Cardinals, or the
tested Spencer, as swing men
may be playing "all the time."
Lockman could be at first base,
left field or right field. Spencer
may return to shortstop, take over
at third or spell Schoendienst at
second.
