Boudreau Builds Athletics
AroUnd 12 Former Yankees
(Thii ii the 13th in a series
on the 1957 prospects of the
major league clubs).
By LEO H. PETERSEN
United Press Sports Editor
West Palm Beach.Fla. iU.R)
Lou Boudreau has only one aim
lor the Kansas City Athletics this
year to get them out of the
American league cellar.
He is one of the two Ameri
can league managers training in
Florida who isn't talking in
terms of the pennant the other
being Chuck Dressen of the
Washington Senators.
Boudreau is molding his 1957
team around 12 ex-Yankee-, who
are as used to winning as the
A's are to losing.
Only two infield positions are
certain Vic Power, a .304 hit
ter, at first base and Hec Lopez
at third.
Short At Stake
Billy Hunter, one of those ex-
Yankees, and Joe DeMaestri, last
year's regular, are contesting the
shortstop post. Milt Graff, a
rookie whom the A's obtained in
the deal which sent pitchers
Bobby Shantz and Art Ditmar to
New York, is battling Curt Rob
erts, the ex-Pirate who won an
other major league shot by hit
ting .320 at Columbus last year,
for second.
Only Harry (Suitcase) Simp
son, who batted in 105 runs last
year with an average of .293,
has won an outfield spot. He
will play right.
Gus Zernial, the long ball hit
ter but faulty fielder, has to beat
out Lou Skizas, another one of
the ex-Yankees who batted .314
for the A's last season, for the
right field post. But Skizas, like
Zernial, leaves plenty to be cte
sired defensively.
In center ex-Yankee Bob Cerv
faces a challenge from Jim Pi
soni, who looks better than his
.265 batting average with Van
couver st season recommends.
One of the two Hal Smiths in
the major leagues will be the No.
1 catcher just like the one who
will be the chief receiver fflr the
St. Louis Cardinals. Back of his
Hal Smith, Boudreau will have
Wilmer Shantz, brother of lobby
and Timmy Thompson.
Three pitchers secured from
the Yankees in the Sobby
Shantz-Ditmar deal figure to bol
ster the pitching staff. They are
left handers Rip Coleman find
Mickey McDermott and righty
Tom Morgan. The three won
only 11 games among them last
year for the Yankees three
less than , Shantz and Ditmar
won for the A's but saw lim
ited action.
Kellner Also SlarW
They'll be regular starters for
the Athletics along with south
paw Alex Kellner, a 12-game
winner last season.
Two veteran right-handers,
Virgil Trucks and Ned Garver,
who came to the A's in the deal
for third baseman Jim Finigan,
will be used for spot starts ad
relief duty.
Another possible starter is
Wally Burnette, who woe six
and lost eight for Kansas City
after being obtained from Des
ver last season. The No. 1 bull
pen man will be Tom Gorman,
who was 9-10 last season, aiwi
another ex-Yankee.
Arnie Portocarrero, who ws
another chance by winning 10
games with Birmingham last
year and the veteran Lpu Kret
low, 7-4 with the A's last sea
son, have a chance to stick almsg
with Ed Blake, drafted frost Tsr
onto where he worn 17 TSrhile
losing 11; Ben Flowers, ffha
failed to make it with t!e Util
lies and Cardinals in the X&
tional league and Rimlal Efewa,
an 11-game winner wiW Yaa-couver.
Deer Deaths by Starvation
Subject of Walton Panel
Chicago, 111. (U.R) Disturb
ed by the mounting death toll of
the nation's deer by starvation,
0 leaders of The Izaak Walton
league of America hope to focus
nationwide attention on this ca
tastrophe during their 35th an
nual convention to be held in
the Mayflower hotel, Washing
ton, DC, April 3-6.
On Friday morning of the con
vention, following the annual
election of officers, the League
will present a panel of experts,
moderated by C. R. (Pink) Guth
ermuth, vice-president of the
Wildlife Management institute.
Panel members will include E.
L. Cheatum of Albany, N.Y.,
chief, bureau of game, of the
New York Conservation depart
ment; Roger Latham of Harris
burg. Penn., chief, division of re
search, of the Pennsylvania
Game commission; and R. Frank
Gregg of Denver, manager of
publications for the Colorado
' harvest, especially of female an
imals. "There are many times more
deer in the United States today
than existed when the white man
began his invasion of America,"
declared chairman Robert C.
O'Hair (Glen Ellyn, 111.), of the
executive board of the Izaak
Walton league.
"The league felt that some
thing should be done to halt this
unnecessary waste. Realizing
that public opinion still is one
of the major forces for good in
this country, the board decided
to call in a panel of experts to
discuss the theme: 'A Modern
Look at Deer Management.' We
hope that these experts will
come up with enough startling
facts to arouse the general pub
lic, and, at the same time, pro
duce some constructive suggest
ions for remedying the evil."

collaboration with Gilbert N.
Hunter of Denver, game manag
er. Not Enough Food
Not only these three major
deer producing states, which
counted an appalling death toll
of the popular big game animal
the last several years, but near
ly every other state with a large
deer population has come face
to face with the startling fact
that there are too many deer for
the supply of natural feed. And,
beyond that fact, most of the
game department have rua
squarely into the paradoxical sit
uation of powerful opposition to
every attempt to increase the
The deer plight is only one of
many conservation subjects that
will be taken up at the conven
tion which begins with board
and committee meetings today,
and continues through passage
of resolutions at the morning
session, Saturday, April 6. There
will be a similar panel discus
sion of the controversial subject
of spearfishing, the annual ban
quet on Friday night, featuring
an address by Under Secretary
Hatfield Chilson of the Depart
ment of the Interior, considera
tion of plans for a new national
headquarters for the league, dis
cussion of conservation legisla

talks by leaders from, the United

Halimi Still
Undefeated .
Paris U.R) The triumph of
unbeaten Alphonse Halimi over
Italian deaf-mute Mario d'AgSta
gladdened the hearts of 50 mil
lion Frenchmen today, but if
anything, it only made the world
bantamweight title picture more
confused.
Halimi, 25-year-old Algerian
who turned professional less
than two years ago, seized
d'Agata's share of the bantam
crown Monday night by gaining
a clear-cut 15-round decision at
the Palais des Sports in France's
first world title bout in 30 years.
But indications that d'Agata
may protest the decision because
of a fire that interrupted the
fight added an element of, un
certainty. In addition, Halimi's claim to
the crown will not be recog
nized by the U.S. National Box
ing Assn.

Electronic Brain Helps Railroads
Chicago U.R) A new elec
tronic "brain-" to help railroad
officials keep track of fleets of
box cars was unveiled today.
James W. Corbett, vice presi
dent of the Southern Pacific
line, said the new computing
system will help solve the prob
lem of distributing the line's
empty freight cars along its 8.
000 mile track network from El
Paso, Tex., to Portland, Ore.
According to Corbett, an IBM
electronic computer-will handle
70,000 car records a day, fore
casting where traffic demands
for empties will be heavy and
advising the car distributing of
ficer where to move empties to
meet shipping demands.
High speed data processors
feed information to a computor
located in San Francisco. The
"brain" works out answers in a
few moments that would take
weeks to get by conventional
methods, said Corbett.
The car intelligence system is
a product of three years of re
search by the line and Stanford
Research Institute1, he added.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN
Nation's Governors
Back Safety Council
On Highway Speeding
Br UNITED PRESS
The nation's governors backed
the National Safety council to
day and condemned highway
speeding, even by a president.
A United' Press survey failed
to turn up a single statehouse
chief who condoned speeding
by public officials. Only two ad
mitted ever having been stopped
and none was a flagrant viola
tor. President Eisenhower drew
critical comment this past week
end when press cars following
him to' Gettysburg, Pa., were
stopped for speeding. Newsmen
said the President's car, which
was not detained, sped ahead at
about 70 m.p.h.
The following day. National
Safety Council President Ned H.
Dearborn said he thought "no
public official should be immune
from speed laws."
Would Lose Votes
Tennessee Gov. Frank Clem
ent admitted lie sped a bit in
California during the 1956 na
tional campaign, but said he
slowed down in his home stale
"because somebody might see
me speeding and I might lose a
vote."
It was generally conceded,
however, that concern for safety
rather than politics held gover
nors' speeds to legal limits.
"Excessive speed is the No. 1
killer on our -highways and
streets," Texas Gov. Price Dan
iel said. "Speed limits are set for
everyone. There should be no
exceptions for public officials.
We should set the right ex
ample." Others who made special men
tion of their agreement with the
safety council were Idaho Gov.
Robert E. Smylie and Arizona
Gov. Ernest McFarland.
A handful of governors went
so far as to say they always
drove under slate speed limits.
Illinois Gov. William G. Strat
ton, according to his driver, has
established a policy of "start
early, don't go over 60, enjoy
the ride." Illinois has no fixed
speed limit.
Utah Gov. George D. Clyde
said he usually drove at 60
m.p.h., but admitted there was
one occasion when he went fast
er: During a state prison riot.
The two governors who ad
mitted being stopped for speed
ing were Michigan Gov. Mennen
Williams and Smylie.
