Honey Likes Buc Pitchers
Coming Up in Future Years
By MILTON RICHMAN
United Press Sports- Writer
New York (U.R) Pittsburgh
Manager Fred Haney, speaking
with a straight face from deep
down in last place, insisted today
that the Pirates have "a better
potential pitching staff than any
other club in the National
League."
"I mean that sincerely," said
Haney, whose pathetic Pirate
crew dropped their sixth straight
game of the season, a 12-3 de
cision at the hands of the Giants
Monday.
"Oh, I'm not referring to the
fellows who are pitching for us
now," he said. "I don't think
more than three of them will be
on the Pittsburgh pitching staff
I have in mind.
"Most of the pitchers I'm talk
ing about are with New Orleans
and Hollywood now. Name "em?
Sure I will.

Gonzales Naranjo at Hollywood.
Then there's Charlie Douglas at
New Orleans. They call him
'Whammy.'.
Another Tommy Bridges
"Remember the kind of over
hand curve ball Tommy Bridges
used to throw?" Haney asked.
"Well, we have a boy by the
name of Ronnie Sheetz, who
throws the same kind of curve.
He's with Williamsport.
"Another one is Bob Schultz,
whom we looked at this spring.
And a big left-hander by the
name of Fred Green. Roger Saw
yer is another excellent left
handed pitcher. They're all with
New Orleans."
In addition to all those prom
ising young hurlers, Haney
added, the Pirates also have oth
er players in the minors who ap
pear to be future major league
stars.
"We have a kid second base
man at Hollywood who gets the
ball away on double plays as
fast as anyone I ever saw,"
Haney said. "Name is Bill Maz
eroski. He's only 17, just out of
high school."
Nevertheless, the plucky little
Pirate manager who keeps his
sense of humor despite the an
nual poor showing of his ball
club, didn't try to hide the way
he felt about Pittsburgh's poor
start this year.
"I'm very disappointed," he
said, "but I'm not discouraged.
Of course, starting the season
against the two top teams in the
league (New York and Brooklyn)
didn't help matters. But the mor
ale of the players hasn't been af
fected and that's encouraging.
Club Not Hitting
"Nobody's been hitting a lick,"
Haney frowned. "I think the new,
kid we have at second base, Gene
Freese, can be the difference be
tween us having a decent year or
a lousy year. He swings that bat
well and looks like a comer but
he needs' some settling down.
That's why I'll put an older fel
low like Dick Cole alongside him
at shortstop. Nothing wrong
with Dick Groat, but Cole has
more experience."
Haney explained the Pirates
will use "the revolving door
system" all season, meaning
players will be coming and going
continuously.
"We send a lot of boys out on
24-hour recall,", he said. "But
those same players may be back
with us before the season ends.
We've reached the point now
where we'll recall players on
short notice."
The three players sent back to
the minors by the Pirates today
pitchers Jake Theis, Bill
(Bomber) Bell and converted out
fielder Dick Hall all went out
on 24-hour recall.
"They'll all come back," Haney
said, "the minute we think they
are ready."
LINFIELD WINS

HEAVY HITTER Al Kaline (6), Detroit Tiger, finishes
his swing and is ready for his third round trip of day
against Kansas City Athletics in Detroit. Athletic catcher
Joe Astroth waits for pitch he never received. Kaline's
two previous homers came in third and sixth innings. The
Tigers won 16-0.
Sport

New York (U.R) Major
league bats are hammering home
runs at a record pace today but
the odds are staggering that
Babe Ruth's greatest record, 60
in a season, still will be in the
books at season's end.
The crescendo of homers has
reached a terrific early season
pace. There had been 107 struck,
as of Monday, compared with 92
for the same number of games
last season.
But it's a different story when
it comes to one man matching
or shading that magic 60, which
Ruth posted in 1927.
Since that time, five men
have been within striking dis
tance of the Bambino's mark. All
of them got into the 50's but
getting up to 60 was another
matter. There are too many fac
tors involved when a man men
sees the most remarkable per
formance of baseball's most stor
ied hitter. .
Fences Moved In
Everything has been done for
the hitter in recent years. There
can be little question but what
the ball has more "jackrabbit"
than it did a few years back.
And the clubs have conspired by
moving in fences to capitalize
on the turnstile lure of the home
run and the home run hitter.
And yet the three closest ap
proaches to Ruth's record were
made in the 30's. Hack Wilson
of the Cubs made the first chal
lenge in 1930 with 56. Jimmy
Foxx of the A's walloped 58 in
1932 and seemed to have it in
his pocket when he was injured.
Hank Greenberg of Detroit
matched the Foxx figure in 1938.
Since then, only Ralph Kiner,
when he was with Pittsburgh,
and Johnny Mize when he was
with the Giants, have reached
the 50's and the low 50's at
that. Kiner and Mize tied with
51 in 1947 while Kiner hit 54 in
1949.
The home run king last season
was burly Ted Kluszewski of
the Cincinnati Redlegs. Yet "Mis
ter Muscles connected for only"
49. This season he has the "gq"
signal to swing for the fences at
will. It is a strategem designed
to provide box office glamor.
Willie Mays Explains
But if and when he approaches
the 50's, and even before, big
Klu will discover that of a sud
den he is ogling a different type
of pitching. Willie Mays explain
ed it last season when, after a
sensational home run start, he
quit swinging for the fences.
"It's funny," Willie explained,
"but if a fellow hits four singles
he is never knocked down by
the pitcher. But let him start
hitting home runs and down he
goes.
"Early last season," Willie
added, "they were pitching me a
lot on the inside and over-the-plate.
Then, after I hit a few
homers, they began to dust me
off. So I went to Leo Durocher

and told him I thought I could
help the team more by just try
ing for hits instead of homers. It
wasn't long before they quit
knocking me down."
Iif the home run hitter does
ignore the dusting, when he gets
up around the 50 mark he'll find
it tougher than ever. The walks
will be more frequent and the
good pitches few and far be
tween.
Any slugger would like to
break that 60. But there isn't a
pitcher around who will let him
self be tagged as the guy who
allowed the big record to be
broken.

Five Winners
In Seven Races
Laurel, Md. (U.R) Wittie
Hartack turned in a near-record
riding performance Monday at
Laurel when he won the first
five races on the opening pro

Savage Tips
Bobby Boyd
New York . (U.R) --When
middleweight Milo Savage' sticks
to clouting instead of clowning,
he's a mighty dangerous fighter.
The impish Salt Lake City
battler proved that Monday
night in punching his way to a
unanimous 10 round decision
over young Bobby Boyd of Chi
cago in their laughless widely
televised bout at St. Nicholas
Arena.
Savage tickled New York
fight fans and televiewers re
cently when he tried the old
"shoe lace" ruse on middle
weight contender Holly Mims.
The trick worked when Mims
glanced down at his shoes and
caught a hard right to the jaw.
but Holly had the last laugh by
copping the decision.
Monday night's viewers ex
pected more of the same from
Savage, but Milo tricked them
with a dead-serious perform
ance. He had to give away both
height and reach to Boyd, but
overpowered his 2 1 - year - old
rival with aggressiveness and a
tooth-jarring overhand right.
Ashburn Out
Indefinitely
Philadelphia (U.R) Richie
Ashburn rested nicely in the
hospital today after aggravating
a preseason knee injury, but he
appeared to be out of the Phila
delphia Phillies' lineup indefi
nitely. Phils' Manager Mayo Smith
said physicians at Temple Uni
versity Hospital told him they
probably would not have to tap
the center-fielder's left knee.
Ashburn reported severe pain
in the limb prior to Monday
night's Phillies - Brooklyn
Dodgers game, and was sent to
the hospital for X-rays and an
examination.
Ashland, had suffered what
was reported to be a sprained
knee ligament in a collision with
Del Ennis during a pre-season
exhibition on April 8. He played
his only regulation game against
the New York Giants last Sat

Stephens
Released
By Orioles
Baltimore, Md. (U.R) Vern
Stephens, once a slugger who
terrorized American League
pitchers, scanned the baseball
"help wanted" ads today, hoping
to pick up a job as a pinch-hitter
or utility infielder.
The muscular 34-year-old vet
eran of 15 seasons in the majors
drew his unconditional release
from the Baltimore Orioles
Monday night after Manager
Paul Richards decided that his
ailing legs would not stand up
for another campaign.
Muscular Trouble
It was not always that way
with Stephens, although in re
cent years he has been out of
action much of the time because
of muscular trouble which gave
him severe Charley horses.
This season he had been in
only three games and had
picked up one hit in six times
at bat. He played one full game
at third base, part of another
game there and fouled out once
as a pinch-hitter.
Stephens, who is convinced he
can help any major league club
on part-time duty, departed
with a lifetime average of .287
and a total of 244 homers, in
cluding his all-time high of 39
with the Boston Red -Sox in
1950.
Rookie Optioned
The Orioles also announced
that they had optioned rookie
second baseman Don Leppert to
Charleston of the American As
sociation. Leppert was one of
nine players picked up by Bal
timore in the wholesale off-season
deal with the New York
Yankees. He had been expected
to stick because he had a spring
exhibition game average of .367.
The 24-year-old rookie ,also bat
ted .313 with Birmingham of
the Southern Association last
season.
Phils Option Four
To Minor Leagues
Philadelphia (U.R)
The
Philadelphia Phillies' roster was
reduced to 34 players today
with the optioning of four men
to the Syracuse farm team of the
International League.
Sent out were pitchers Tom
Casagrande and Paul Penson,
infielder Bob Micelotta, and
first baseman Jim Westlake.
Casagrande had a 6-2 record at
Louisville last season while
Penson had a 1-1 mark with the
Phils and 3-12 with Schenec
tady. Micelotta hit .229 at Syra
cuse and Westlake hit .285 at
San Francisco. -
