Knapn 14 . 10 10 9 8 7 7 7 7 7 5 4 By ALEX KAHN United Press Sports Writer San Bernardino, Calif. U.Rj The old pro, Frank (Lefty) O'Doul, is at the helm of Seattle this year and candidly says that the Rainiers will be fighting for the top spot in the Pacific Coast league. Seattle managed to finish sec ond last year despite a switch in managers and rumors of player dissension, and a goodly number of the 1956 varsity are on hand again this season. O'Doul was named manager list fall after coming home eighth with Vancouver. "Sure we need help," says O'Doul. "Did you ever see a club that didn't? But we expect it just like most of the others do. And with a few key men, we could be a good team." Although starting his 41st year in organized baseball, O'Doul has lost none of his enthusiasm. In fact, he outlined his team's prospects whiles tanding behind the batting cage with his nose almost through the wire and once in a while shouting advice to Howie Judson who was out on the mound throwing sliders. Should Be Good "He's one of the veteran pitchers on the staff and could have a good year if he's worked right and not too often," O'Doul said, pointing toward the former major league workhorse. Other venerable members of the pitching staff are Red Hun ger, Bill Kennedy, Larry Jansen and Bud Podbielan. O'Doul knows they will be plugging along but he hopes to get a few more youngsters to help them. Among the younger hurlers who have caught O'Doul's eye are Glen Irringhaus from Seattle's Wenatchee farm club. Gene Hayden who came up from Nashville and Tom Gibson who is making his first appearance in pro ball. 2 4R8 534 4R4 548 553 2805 M. r. Bread Absentee Barry Shtnn Spain Sacchl Behind the plate, Seattle has Ray Orteig and Dick Aylward back to handle the catching but the infield needs reinforce ments. The Infield Bill Glynn and rookie Kark Kuehl have looked good sharing first base, and Jim Dyck, the former Oriole, has been hitting well while holding down third Leo Righetti, backed up by rookie Maurice Wills from Pueblo, is expected to handle shortstop in his usual stylish fashion. But second base remains open and currently is in the hands of veteran utilityman Jack Lohrke. The outfield has Carmen Mauro and Joe Taylor back but only likely-looking rookie Garry DeMartini of San Francisco is available to patrol the pasture with them and help is needed there, too. "That DeMartini looks and acts like Joe DiMaggio when he was breaking in," O'Doul com- mented."Now if he can come through like Joe, we'll have something. Despite these gaps, O'Doul is confident that Cincinnati will supply the help needed and he expects Seattle to make things plenty interesting in the race.

Y Ted Picture Of Hero on West Jaunt By HAL WOOD San Francisco (U.R) Ted Williams, the one-time scourge of the Eastern baseball writers and fans, mellowing? The "Splendid Splinter" may be a bum to some of the Boston fans and sports experts, but to the West Coast baseball follow ers he is the epitome of affabil ity. Maybe he feels more at home in the West, having been born and reared in the city of San Diego. Maybe he picks a feud with the Boston people Just for the kicks he may get out of it. But during his current tour of the West with the Red Sox he is the picture of what a baseball hero should be. Now closing in on the 40 mark ancient as baseball players go his fiery temper may not be quite as hot as it was. But Ted proved he liked West Coast fans and that they liked him while he was visiting. Shaky Reunion I hadn't talked to Ted since he came back from the Korean war until last Friday and then our conversation began just about 30 minutes after the earthquake that rocked the city. Everyone was jittery and had a right to be curt with an swers to any subject. I ran into Ted just as he was about to start his lunch at the old Palace hotel which survived the 1906 'quake, with some bus iness friends. He was in the midst of his salad, but he posed for pictures, then answered some silly ques tions about the quake in a straightforward manner. No sign of irritation. During his few days in this city, he went on the radio for a interview, and he even talked on the "beeper phone to out-of-town radio stations. He kidded good naturedly with fans at Seals Stadium and when he was removed for a pinch-runner in the seventh in ning of the final game he re ceived a tremendous ovation from the 21,019 in the stands Real Eye-Opener This type of action on the part of Williams and the relationship with the fans here was an eye opener to the veteran journal ists who have been traveling with the Boston Red Sox and Williams for so many years. "I wouldn't ask him for the time of day," said one as he watched Williams at the plate. "Hope he strikes out. The fact that Williams has accepted an offer to be master of ceremonies at an awards din ner in Boston came as a shock to the Eastern men with the team, also. It could be that, with the close of his brilliant career approach ing, the mighty slugger wants to quit the game with more friendly relations with the peo ple who made his $100,000 per year career possible. TORNADO DIAMONDERS WILL OPPOSE ROSEBURG Black Tornado baseballers may be up against the strongest team they'll meet this year on Saturday afternoon when the Medford high nine meets Rose burg in a double bill here. First game is set for 1:30 p.m. Roseburg is expected to enter the conflict with lettermen at eight of the nine positions and six of the players were on the squad of the Lockwood Motors which took third place in Amer ican Legion junior baseball na tional competition. Two of the lettermen loom as the Indians' regular pitchers this year. One of the two is Bill Oer ding, pitching mainstay of the Legion club who last week end hurled a no-hitter against Grants Pass. Other pitcher is Ron Beam er, a heavy slugger, who is trying At -".? 4)v - & sv V I ACCEPTING speaking invi tation after being banned by Queens College, John Gates, Communist Daily Worker editor, addresses Columbia University's John Dewey Society. (International) Thursday, March 28, 19S7 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN Crater High's Baseballers To Take on Klamath Falls his hand on the mound for the first time. The one of the two not chucking likely will play first base. Second baseman is a three- year letterman along with Oer- ding, Tom Burgess. Mike Hatfield, shortstop, and Paul Hansen and Jerry Ander son, outfielders, are two-year let termen as is Beamer. Jim Brown is a one-year letterman outfield er and Bud Conley, sophomore, is a one-year monogram man catcher. Transfer catcher from from Billings, Mont., is Ed Lar-ouque. Non-lettermen Lee Stone and Rod Hoenisch are third base possibilities. In Oerding's no hitter last week he fanned 12 batters and walked two. A third player got on base on an error. No man got by first base. Central Point Six or seven lettermen may be in the opening crew for Crater high Friday when the Comets play Klamath Falls in their A-l baseball debut. The game, if not weathered out, will be at either Gem sta dium at Klamath Falls or at the Klamath high field. Action orig inally was set for Central Point but that diamond is not in shape new because of wet weather. Comet Coach Bill Piche was awaiting confirmation from Klamath today on game arrange ments. Fred Herrmann, Crater vet eran pitcher, on hand for his fourth season, likely will get the starting mound call. Piche said that both Herrmann and sopho more letterman twirler Wayne Allen were getting into good shape and throwing harder now. Randy Campbell, catcher, Neil Green, first base, Bob Fowler, third base. Bill Reaves, outfield er or infielder, and Charles South, outfielder, are other let termen, who might start. Allen may be at shortstop and Herr mann might be at second base, if and when not on the hill. Defensive Teams With Herrmann tossing, Thur- man Striplin could be on second base, Ed Koch, Dick Rainey and Jim Culbertson are others from whom outfielders may be named. When Allen hurls Stan Green could be at short. Piche reported that the Com ets should be a good defensive club. He is stressing the buid up of hitting strength. He noted that Green is getting his batting eye and powering the ball. Klamath also should be strong on defense, new coach Harry Russell hag said. He has called Pelican hitting below average and pitching as a question mark. Lettermen of the Pels are Mickey Carney and Darryl Rusth, pitchers; Butch Kimpson, second base; Jerry Bramwell, third base, and Joe Tawney, out fielder. Catcher tomorrow may be Kenny Bell or Brent Cardwell with Vernon Young or Chuck Clark at first base and Smile Herrera at short. Other outfield ers may be Glenn Tracey and Lee McGill or Jimmy Hall. Klamath beat Prineville 1 to 0 and 9 to 0 last Saturday with freshmen heavers Dick Griggs and Leonard Allen combining for a no-hitter in the one-sided game. EYES TRACK PURCHASE Vancouver, B. C.
