TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, March 30, 1956 hite Sox Have Batting orried About Pitchin But W This is another in a series of the 1956 prospects of the major league clubs. By LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor Tampa, Fla. (U.R) Marty Marion isn't making any predic tions where his Chicago White Sox will finish this year, but every time he sees his new cen terfielder, Larry Doby, come to bat there is a wide grin on his face. "His power could make a big difference," Marion says. "Had we had his bat last year we would have won the pennant instead of finishing third, five games behind the Yankees." So, while Marty isn't worried about power this season, he is concerned about his pitching. "We must come up with a fourth starter," he pointed out. "I'm satisfied with my bullpen, that's what kept us up there last year. But I have to find at least another starter." That starter will go along with his big three left handers Billy Pierce and Jack Harshman and .right-hander Dick Donovan. Pierce and Donovan won 15 each last season, Harshman 11. Has Fine Bullpen Connie Johnson, who won seven with the White Sox late i the season after being called up from Toronto; the veteran Harry Byrd, who was 7-8 with the Orioles Snd White Sox; and rookie Jerry Dahlke, a 19-game winner with Memphis, are the leading possibilities for that fourth starting spot. Marty feels that in Dixie Howell, Morrie Martin, Mike Fornieles and Sandy Consuegra, he"has "as good a relief crew as there is in the league." Consue gra also may be used to start against certain clubs. By getting Doby from Cleve land Marion feels sure the. White Sox Minnie Minoso in left with Jim Rivera and Bob Nieman two-platooning in fight, espe cially at the start of the season. For the veteran Cal Abrams, John Bubba Phillips and Bob Powell, a bonus player. The only infield spot set is second base where scrappy Nel lie Fox will hold forth. Big Walt Dropo hasn't looked too sharp at bat, so Marion has been playing the veteran George Kell, normally a third baseman, at first. Rookie Enters Scene Rookie Sam Esposito, who hit .281 at Memphis, has crowded Medford High Mittmen Meet Crater Today Medford High mittmen meet the Crater nine today on the Medford field at 3:30 p.m. and again tomorrow at 1 p.m. Good practice weather and inter-squad' games.-have given the Tornado team a chance to.be come smooth operating and ready to go, according to coach John Kovenz. Probable starter for Medford today will be Duane Sides on the mound with Ray Hilton on the receiving end of the battery. Other starters will be Dick McLoughlin, Larry Perkins, Gor don Owsley, Jim Putney, Larry Gober, Ed Rienkftig, and Ron Peery. Roger Gallaci and Steve Shorey are also likely to see ac tion. Henry Putney and Ernie Tyler may .see service on the mound in Saturday's game. Kovenz says that the team has lots of hustle and that four mem bers of the basketball squad who turned cut for basebal lonly last week should serve to strengthen the team. Vancouver Downs Portland 11-10 Glendale, Calif. (UP.) Van couver defeated Portland, 11-10, in a 10-inning exhibition game featured by 31 hits, including four homers. Morlyn Holtzapple, Bob Caf f rey and Jim Pisoni homered for the winners and Sam Calderone homered for Portland. Pisoni scored the winning run in the 10th when he doubled, moved to third on a fielder's choice and scored on Gary Robin's sacrifice fly. Dave Jordan, 19 -year -old southpaw, worked the first nine' nings for Vancouver and got credit for the win. into the third base picture. He is a returning serviceman and would not count on the roster. At short, Marion is banking on rookie Luis Aparicio, who hit .273 at Memphis. Marion, a star shortstop himself, is sure Aparicio can field, but the ropkie still has to prove he is a major league hitter. Should Aparicio fail to make it, the job will fall to either Jim Brideweser or an other rookie, Carl Peterson, a .306 hitter at San Diego. Sherman Lollar will be the No. 1 catcher. Marion plans to carry only two receivers so he can keep 11 pitchers. That means that Les Moss, who was with the Orioles and White Sox last year, and Carl Sawatski, the former Cubs receiver who hit only .268 at Minneapolis, will fight it out for the No. 2 spot. Pitching is the big question mark, and if the White Sox come up with it, they figure to be mighty tough.

Investigators May Ask McCoy License Denial Los Angeles (U.R) Los Angeles matchmaker Baby Mc Coy, accused of being involved in about a dozen "fixed" fights and splitting boxers' purses, to day faced the almost certain pos sibility state investigators would recommend his license be re voked. The portly matchmaker's at torney, Jake Ehrlich, prominent San Francisco criminal lawyer, brought out the possibility Thursday before a special com mittee investigating California boxing. Ehrlich asked if the commit tee had the power to recommend that McCoy's license be revoked and hearing Chairman Jack Hanna replied that it had. Ehrlich then told the commit tee he wanted it known that under the circumstances, "We will not attempt to conduct a de fense at this time." He said his client would stage a "vigorous defense" before the State Athletic Commission "if that body should meet to take his license away." Special counsel James Cox in questioning McCoy attempted to link him with alleged eastern underworld figure Champ Segal and to show that McCoy once entered negotations to obtain a half-interest in boxer Gil Ca dilli's contract. "Did you call Champ Segal in New York?" Cox asked. McCoy replied he did not re member calling him "but maybe I talked to him two or three times in the last 10 years." McCoy denied he had been a co-manager of Cadilli. Hollywood Stars Score 5-3 Win Over Seattle Anaheim, Calif.
