West Palm Beach, Fla. -CPD-For
Harry Craft there's no to
day, only a tomorrow.
"We just have to wait until
our kids are ready, the man
ager of the Kansas City Ath
letics explains, adding quickly
that "they won't be ready for
1959."
He's confident, however,
that the day is coming when
that "second division tag" will
be taken off his ball club.
"We have a lot of good kids
he said. "Fellows like pitch
ers Howie Reed, Bob Davis
and Ken Johnson and infield
ers Lou Klimchock and Alex
George. But I'm afraid most of
them are a year or tvo away
He pointed out that in the
four-team winter rookie leag
ue, the A's beat out the best
farm prospects of the Yankees,
Braves and Tigers.
Sees Bright Future
"That proves our farm sys
tem is coming along and doing
its job," Craft said. "I've seen
enough of our kids to be opti
mistic about the future. But as
for 1959 well we'll do the best
we can. Cetrainly, we can't be
rated with the big boys."
I he big boys to him are
the Yankees, Tigers, White
Sox, Indians and Red Sox.
Last spring, starting his first
full season as manager he
took over from Lou Boudreau
during the 1957 season Craft
set two goals for his club:
To win 70 games:
To beat the Yankees "at
least six times."
He wound up winning 73
games, which turned out to be
only good enough for seventh
place. But the A's were only
4Va games out of the first div
ision. As for the Yankees, the A's
beat them nine times, losing
13. The year before the Yank
ees won the season series be
tween the two clubs, 20 games
to two.

1960 Olympics because of his
talks with Percy Cerutty and
Franz Stampfl.
Cerruty trains Herb Elliott,
world's fastest miler. Stampfl
trains Merv Lincoln, Austra
lia's No. 2 miler.
"Stampfl and Cerutty use
two very different types of
training but each has some
thing beneficial. I plan to
adopt the best features of
both when I get home."
Bowden, visiting Australia
for a series of races, finished
fourth in a 1,000-meter race
last Wednesday and fourth in
a mile event Monday. Elliott
won both races.
Bowden indicated he would
concentrate on the Australian
method of building up stam
ina. Elliott and Albert Thom
as, the Aussie who set world
records for two and three
miles last year, are sterling
examples of the staying pow
er developed by this coun
try's runners.
Will Build Up Strength
"First, I'm going to concen
trate on building up my
strength," Bowden said when
asked whether he would con
centrate on the 800 or 1,500
meters in his training for the
1960 Olympics.
"I'll only run in one or
two outdoor races this year,"
he said.
"Then I'll decide on the
Olympic event I'll try to qual
ify for after looking over the
fields.
"I'm taking back a tremen
dous amount of knowledge
which could help United
States athletics generally.

it out of the way.
