Kindsfather Will Open For Salem By RAY ANDREWS United Pren Sport Writer Salem W The Salem Sen ators will lead with an ace Vern Kindsfather, when they open their Northwest leagu season Thursday against Eu gene. Kindsfather posted a 17-13 mark last year as the Senators finished third in both halves of the split season and looms as the bulwark of Manager Don Lundberg's hurling corps. Kindsfather will be backed up by Tom Flynn, Hal Lamed, Gu Carmichael, Humberto Marquez, and Ev Aldridge, Carmichael showed a 7-7 mark with Wenatchee last year, Marquez was 12-9 with Visalia in the California league, Aldridge had a 5-8 mark with Tri-City and Flynn is a well-regarded lefty from the Cincinnati Redlegs. Power Hitter On the power side, the Sen ators have acquired Vince Moreci who can belt the long ball. He led the loop in hom ers with 36 in 1956 and could drive home a flock of runs Lundberg can also look to some sharp hitting from vet eran Jack Dunn. Dunn clicked off a .328 mark last year and sent 45 runs across the plate Roy Parker, an outfielder who hit .238 with Wenatchee last year also figures in Lund berg's plans. Two Latin players who may make it by opening day are Alfredo Conton and Julio Pirela. Pirela is a shortstop and Conton an outfielder. Lundberg Busy Rigoberto Mendoza, a third baseman owned by the Cin cinnati club also may make the erade. Lundbere was behind the plate in 123 games for Wen atchee last season and un rfnuhtedlv will handle his share of the catching chores this year with Salem. He belted Northwest league Ditching for a .311 mark and drove in 69 markers. His bat will be a big help to the Sen ators. As with other Northwest league skippers, : Lundberg will nrobablv do a lot of shuffling during the early go- ine. Both the Los Angeies Dodgers and Kansas City Ath letics have notified Salem oi ficials they have several play ers earmarked for duty with Salem. Overall in the 1957 cam paign, the Senators were just a shade over the .suo marie with a percentage of .507. 4 z- ll4fi4v h JAr -f',. llKL CX ; gs'vfy'1!
