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.

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.

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

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.

money.
